Utah's White Throne.

Tn Utah lies a wonderland little
known to most people. Until late
years the magnificent Zion canyon,
in southern Utah, was virtually mac
cessible. Now, however. one can visit
easily the magnificent canyon with its
grand scenery and gorgeous coloring
Today one can drive a motor car on
the floor of the canyon and stand be-
side cliffs that rise abruptly for 5000
feet, and close by mighty peaks tower
through a green and lovely valley the
Rio Virgin foams along to join the
mighty Colorado river a few miles
farther on.
Now and then the canyon widens
into amphitheaters so vast and still
that one stands breathless. All round
him the colors of the sandstone walls
are fascinating
Now the wonder OF the canyon is the

that prohibition has been a failure,
and it seems to be the consensus of
opinion that the law will be modifi-
ed or repealed very shortly. Miss
Furnhjelm does not believe in it
She says:
TT is a prohibition in name only
and 1t does not prohibit. 1t is a
paper law and you cannot reform the
world upon paper. 1t is not practi-
cal and it is very demoraIizing."
1t was through Miss Furnhjelm
that / became acquainted with some
of the leading "Marthas" OF Finland
and learned OF the wonderful work
they are donig. The "Marthas" take
their name after Martha, the elder
sister of Lazarus, who lived at Beth

they can for their country and people.

about twenty-five years ago. when the
car issued manifesto depriving
Finland of many of it's rights. The
women then organized themselves

THE conversation here turned to
l. prohibition, the laws concerning
which are much the same as those
of the United States. No liquors, ex-
cept per cent beer can be sold, and
the result is that they have about
as much Illicit distilling as one finds
in America. Man. homes have their
private stills. Az hol preparations
under different nan.cs are sold in the
stores, and one can buy the ingre-
dients with the accompanying recipes
to make any drink he would give his
guest. At my hotel here I have seen
some of the leading captains of in
dustry drinking cocktails under the
guise of cold tea, and when 1 asked
the head waiter what drinks he could
furnish, he mentioned Scotch whisky,
sherry, claret and champagne, with
benedictine or chartreuse to close.

HELSlNGFORS, Finland.
~ NE OF the leaders of the new
woman movement in Finland
was born in Alaska. Her
father was Governor of Sitka
when that territory belonged to Rus
sia This was in the latter part of
to sell Alaska to the United States for
something like . cents an acre the
governor objected on the ground that
IL was a bad bargain. The governor
then lived in the great log house
which formed the official headquar-
ters. II is still standing and l saw it
when | visited Sitka a few years ago.
After Alaka was transferred to the
United States the little girl who s
now leading the women of this coun-
try was taken with her parents to
Finland. where the family had large
estates. As time went on she
became one Of the live active factors
in the demand OF liberty and indie
pendence for women. She holds that
position today, ranking high among
the representatives OF the suffrage
movement the world over.
The woman ] refer to is Miss Anne
Furnhj jelm. one of the leading con-
gresswomen Of the Finnish republic
and one Of the most up-to date
amongst the new women who are aid
Ing in running these new countries
OF Europe. l met Miss Furnhj elm
today in the parliament building. She
came from her seat in the house Of
representatives out into the restau-
rant devoted to the members to see
me and we chatted together for half
an hour.
Miss Furnhjelm speaks English and
she expresses her views as to woman's
rights without reservation. She says:
ITO get woman suffrage is little, but
to make something out of il is much
harder and far pore important"
She tells me the women make stump
speeches and electioneer just as the
men, and that they have an equal
say with the men in the making of
all legislation. There are nineteen
female members in the congress of
Finland. They are not Joined togeth-
er in one woman's party, but are
scattered through the six political
parties which form the national con-
gress. She does not believe in
woman's party pure and simple, but
favors the custom they have here of
the women standing on the same plat
forms as the men and working side
by side with them for the issues
those platforms represent. Just now
the women are especially interested
in a new marriage law, which would
equalize the property rights of wives
with their husbands. According to
the present law, the husband gains
the control OF his wife's estate before
marriage and he has a superior pa
rental right over the children.
I asked her if the republic Of FIJI,
land would last. She replied: There
is no doubt of it. Our independence,
has come to stay and its foundation

spread through the particles of skin
that scale off? How long after a
measles patient is up will he give
them Mrs. l.. J. ].
Answer.-Measles is most com
municable in the stage of invasion,
before the eruption is out. A third
person probably cannot carry measles.
The infection Is conveyed in the dis
charges chiefly from nose. throat and
eyes, but not through the peeling or
sealing. There is little, II any, danger
of transmitting measles after the
fever has passed. though an isolation
of about two weeks is required by
the health regulations. because that
is the maximum incubation period
(time from the moment of exposure
or infection until the onset of illness).
