So back they went, back along the

Entering the town they saw rail-
road crossing ahead and had to slow
down, when suddenly they heard
man on the street let out an exclama-
tion as he plunged toward their car,
and, turning around, they saw
tousled, desperate man make frantic
leap from the back seat. Too dazed
to act, they sat like statues watching
the little drama. The man on the
street grabbed the struggling fellow by
the collar and yelled for help. Lang
ston, at last galvanized into action,
jumped out of the car and hurried to
assist.
In a second a policeman appeared
on the scene and took the prisoner In

Paul and Clarice looked at each

exulted the girl. "It was wonderfull"

Several motor highway projects either side
of the international line are important in this
connection. One is a nearly-completed road that
will connect Buffalo park at Wainwright, Alberta,
by way of Edmonton with Jasper, largest and
farthest north of the Canadian national parks. 1t
Is being built 300 miles of abandoned roadbed
Of the Canadian Northern, from which the gov
ernment tore the rails In the World war to send
to France.
Another road Is nearing completion from Lake
Louise to- Field in Rocky Mountains This runs
an old roadbed of the Canadian Pacific across
the Continental Divide. In time it Will be carried
through to Golden on the Columbia river.
A proposed Canadian scenic highway through
the heart of the Central Canadian Rockies runs
directly from Banff to Jasper park, 125 miles In
an air line connecting ut the base of Mount
Robson at the headwaters Of the Fraser with the
Buffao-Jasper road just mentioned
Three road projects In and about Glacier In the
United States have international interest. The
National Park service has begun construction
the Transmountain road across the Continental
Divide from st. Marys lake to Lake Mcdonald.
Its completion Will bridge the last gap In the
National Park-to-Park highway by uniting the
east entrance (Glacier Park) and the west
entrance (Belton) Of Glacier. 1t also supplements
the All-Canadian. circle by United States
Canadian circle much smaller than the Gr8nd
Circle tour The second Is the road being built
by Montana to parallel the Great Northern along
the southern boundary Of Glacier, closing the
present gap between through east and west high
ways at this point.
The third project is the Improvement by the
United States government Of the Babb Interna-
tional Boundary road along the east side of
Glacier. In accordance with decision by the
comptroller general that the entire cost Of
state aid project through an Indian reservation
may be paid from the funds apportoned to the
states under the federal highway act the Mon
tana state highway commission has submitted as
a federal aid project the Improvement of this road

CAP SUBDUED ANGRY SNAKES
Keeper Of London Zoo "crematess
Headoear Which Was Saturated
With Venom.

A famous cap has come to Its final
end. 1t had been killed over thou
sand times, and now it has been Gre
mated lest it carry death to others
A quarter Of a century ago Tyrrel,
a famous old keeper at the London
zoos reptile house, was tenderly bend
Ing over a family of rattlesnakes
which had lost its united temper. His
cap fell off into the squirming group,
and it was promptly kilied-dying no
fewer than seven separate deaths.
Tyrrel felt it would be indecent to
wear cap which had breathed its last.
He raked 1t with an iron rod and al
lowed the wet venom to dry before he
handled it.
The cap started a new career Of use
fulness as snake charmer. says Henri
Pickard. Whenever it became neces-
sary to remove poisonous snake Tyr
rers old cap (or its corpse) took
graceful leap into the arena, only to
die another horrid death. While the
killer was watching the agonies Of the
cap bent iron implement was tucked
into the snakes coils and the creature
was lifted out and dropped into pack
ing case.
The cap eked out an honest living
by dying on an average of twice
week. 1t became stiff with assorted
venoms, and the dust settled on Its
thousand wounds whenever 1t took q
holiday.
And now, in a most casual manner,
1t has been stuffed into the furnace at
the reptile house as II 1t were hand
full Of rubbish.
Surely little glass case marked
"Poison" would have been a more de-
cent sepulcher.-Cincinna Enquirer.

NO INTERNATIONAL LINE

The tremendous and Increasing tourist
travel Of the last few years is proof Of the
appeal to the people Of the North American
continent Of their national parks. The
United state, and Canada stand together In
making more eontented peoples by getting
the public Into the great outdoor scenic
exhibits with which both countries are
supremeIy blessed. We live In peace and
friendship on the most remarkable political
frontier In all the world. But In scenic
beauty there Is no International boundary
line at all, no barriers save those placed by
nature. The extension Of our National
Park-to-Park highway across the border by
tho opening Of such splendid connecting
links 40 the WIndermere highway will
be followed, sincerely hope, by the larger
development Of national park roads In both
countries until the two peoples are given
easy access to the finest scenic attractions
OF the oIobe-stephen 7. Mathsr, Director,

is agreed that national parks are national only
In name; that natural scenic beauty Is interna-
tional; that there are no barriers between parks
save those placed by nature that larger develop
ment Of roads should give the people of the North
American continent easy access to the most
splendid recreation region Of the globe.
1t is a credible prediction that the near future
will a system Of national parks from Mount
Mckinley In Alaska to Grand Canyon In Arizona
under working international agreement that
will make 1t "a unique continental exposition Of
inestmable value to science and to the popular
education of future generations" well as
vast scenic playground for the people
The immediate effect Of the opening of the 104-
mile, two-way Banff-Wlndermere highway. making
passage by automobile possible through the CEN
tral Canadian Rockies is that 1t completes 500
mile circuit of Rocky Mountains, Yoho. Kootenay
and Waterton Lakes National parks In Canada
and connects this circuit with the National Park
tePark highway In the United States-a gigantic
motor way that circles 6,0O0 miles through nine
scenic western states and touches Mount Rainier,
Crater Lake. Lassen Volcanic, Yosemite, General
Grant, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Zion, Mesa Verde,
Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone and Glacier
National parks.
The Canadians call the highway from Banff to
Lake Windermere and on to the international line
at Klngsgate the Banff- California Bee-Lne high
way because 1t keeps right on across corner of
Idaho to Spokane and Portland and thence south
to San Francisco ana Los Angeies' ulstahce OF
1881 miles. They call the other half of the
"Grand Circle tour" the Banff-Grand Canyon
road this crosses the international line at Peskan,
Mont, Just to the east Of Waterton Lakes and
Glacier National parks. The formal opening Of
the Banff -windermere highway this summer at
the point where 1t crosses the Kootenay river was
an international affair Of considerable pomp and
ceremony. Old Glory was much In evidence. The
band played the national airs. notable assem-
blage was In attendance. DR.. King Dominion
minister of public works. welcomed the guests.
]. Ross Eakin, superintendent Of Glacier National
park was the official representative of Secretary
Hubert Work of the United States Department of
the Interior. The speech-making emphasized the
international importance of the occasion Then
the lieutenant governors of Alberta and British
Columbia, DR.. II. @. Brett and Walter c. Nichol,
cut the red, white and blue ribbon across the

London Police Well Liked.

Perhaps the thing that strikes the
American In London more than any
thing else is the attitude of the Lon
doner toward the police.
There Is a general feeling of friend
illness toward the man In blue. The
bobby Is the Londoner's standby.
An important reason for this atti-
tude Is the status Of the police in this
city. Politics does not enter into the
force. Although in way 1t Is under
the control Of cabinet officer, when
cabinets tumble the police force goes
right on without change.
And police mannersI The bobby II
taught to be polite and civil to the
public and he always remembers he
is public servant. SO, when Lon

the last thing 1t uses Is force. Only
in extremities are clubs used.

Canadian Beauty Spot;
BEAUTY is INTERNATIONAL

The so-calIed national parks Of the world
are not national save in name. They are no
more national than Is good music, classical
literature, beautiful pictures. They belong
to the world. We people Of Canada feel
that the beauty spots within the United
States that have been designated as national
parks belong to US as they belong to you.
They are but placed within the keeping Of
the people Of the States. We feel and we
hope that the people Of the United States
feel, that the beauty spots Of Canada that
have been designated as national parks are
as much your parks as they are our parks,
that they are merely placed within our
keeping for the use OF all. Beauty is inter
national, regardless Of the form In which
It Is expressed, and national parks are but

ONE OF THEM NOW
When motorists would gather round,
Their talk was dull and bleak to me,
And most of what they said, 1 found
Was nothing else out Greek to me;
They spoke of "clutches, pistons, gears
listened quite unheedingly
They bored me almost unto tears,
In other words-exceedingly.
Thew talked of taking hills on high
OF roads that they'd been travelling
Of various oils and gas they'd buy
They'd spend long hours unraveling
A lot of yarns aboht their cars,
And things that they cobld do with them;
said, "What awful bores, my stars!
These motorists-Pm through with them"
BY talk of motors l was bored,
And loudly made mock of it,
But now I've got little Ford,
And all do is talk of it;
And now where motorists are seen,
promptly seek nest of them,
And talk about my own machine
I'm worse than all the rest of them!
