Berlin, Dec. $. --- Pan European suggestions are constantly bobblng up all over Europe, but nearly all the men and women who want Europe 10 fedcrate and become a sort Of United States of Europe have pet schemes as 10 the exact way the federation should he effected.
 Count C0udcnnoho- -Kalergi the Austrian puhHclst who has recently attracted much attention by his writ iHgs on the subject of pan-Eurore and was a speaker in the recent session Of the International Peace congress in Berlin, does not think that England aNd Russia can be members of a successful Iun-Euro- pCan organization.
 His scheme for pacify!ng Europe is quite unlike that of the late SIT Max Waechter who recently died in London. He was known for years as the old man who never failed to talk with kines and politicians through out Europe about the advisabiIlty of aholishins customs barriers in Flu rope and federatinG a, European states, much after the manner the United States is federated, with an irteynational police force to keep or der instead Of competitive armies whirh were keeping their nations poor
 Count CoNdeuhohc. ka!ergi thinks tho interests Of Europe are too varied for all ths nations 10 be brought together. He regards the British Empire as group which must stand quite alone because Of its ramihcations and power. Russia is anotnsr widely spread empire which he believes must stand alone, America is another group which he would have stand alone. So this Pan- Europe would be Europe with cut the British Isles and Russia.
 League of Nations advocates are especially hostile to the Coudenhobe- Kalargl plan, which is frankly criti- cal of the League of Nations on the ground that it Is 100 much central i-ed to be operated with success. It is the ilea Of Coudenhobe-k -kalergt that the various groups or sections into which he would divide the world could cooperate and maintain much better relations by standing alone than f they were all consoli- dated in one group,
 Eastern Asia. that Ia Japan and China, would he separate group under the Coudenhobs- -Kalergi scheme.

 WINS BIGAMY CASE

Atlanta. Ga. - Slight and beauti ful Mrs. Margaret Brooking. who. at the age of 21, is credited with hay ing married three husbands. appear cd in the Superior Court here re- cently on a charge of bgamy, filed bv her second husband.
 The young woman. according to the evidence. married at the age or 13 man named John McCord. A child was born of the union. but soon after the youthful mother received informant ton which led her to believe McCord was dead. Months passed and McCord did not show up. so she married Lon Powers.
 A short time afterwards the start ling news came that McCord was still living. The young woman i'm mediately left Powers. at the same time instituting suit for divorce against McCord. decree being granted. But instead of going back to either of her former husbands. she chose to take unto herself a third protector. Sam Brooking, of Atlanta.
 In the trio, Powers. the second husband, attempted to institute a charge of bigamy because the wo- man had married him while still welded to her first husband. Re- turning the verdict, the jury held that the original marriage to Me- Cord was void because the bride was only 13 years old at the time, below the age at which a woman may con- sent to marriage. The bigamy charge fell.

And we have new game called Nah Jong.
 The game is experimentation of every other game you ever played.
 Acceptance of the game is indica- tive of the disturbed condition of the rublc mind. Our society folks are buying Nah Jong sets, partly to sati- ate q certain curiosity and more to show other folks that they are fash ionable.
 And so We see town folks. who were sane a few days ago. greeting each other in the jarCon of the Mon st Hans Truly these are faddish times, where and when anything new novel and foolish is accepted in pref erence to the staid and conventional
 While the Americans are playing Nah Jong the Chinese are cutting off their queues anl robbing trains. In this exchange of American and Chinese ideas il appears that the Chinese have gotten the best in eX- change.
 While robbing trains is somewhat risky there is reasonable hope of temporary profit. In Nah Jons there is none. There is said to be several thousand characters in the Chinese alphabet To be expert at Mah Jong one should learn them all
 When the Chinese women begin to lob their hair and flap the sheiks we suppose the Americans will take up the poppy habit, which is about what hey did to us when they traded Nah Jong."

NOME NATIVES BEING
 DRIVEN OUT COUNTRY

In the upinIon of William T. Lopp. Superintendent of the Alaska Div ision. Bureau of Education. the time ! is fast approaching when the en- croachment of private enterprises on Seward Peninsula will soon drive the natives out of that district. The reindeer situation in certain districts
 of the Seward Peninsula, at the pres en time is very similar to the cattle days in the States when controver- sies over land arose. There are no
 land leasing or grazing laws in the North, and regardless of the natives prior rights to the land. they and
 their herds are being slowly crowd
 ed out.
 1 There are great many Eskimos
 on the Seward Peninsula who have already signifed their intention of
 down to the Cantwell district. and i the first of these herds, owned by
 an Eskimo nawed simon. who has
 ranged his reindeer over the Norton i Sound district for many years, told 1 Mr. Lopp last summer that he in
 tended to start driving his herd of approximately 5000 reindeer, last fall to the Iditarod, where he would winter them. and then this coming summer or fall, complete the drive to the railroad or into the Cantwell
 district. In all probability, there ! fore, starting in at the Cantwell dis itrict, within a few years time will
 see great herds of reindeer swarm ling over the great belt of moss (which is approximately 50 miles
 wide and many miles in length.
 MT. Lopp believes the matter Of bringing the reindeer to this district
 of the Territory could be very easily solved with the introduction of ships transporting the animals to Anchor
 age and thence up. the railroad in box cars to Cantwell Another meth Ou WHICH toulu De uStu IS io LII III z tthe reindeer up the Yukon River on
 barges and then drive them down ta the moss belt. As these methods en- tail more or less direct expense {" the owner. it is doubtful if at this time the natives will bring them down except by herding them across the country.
 The future plans of MT. Lopp. in regard to the disposal of the rein deer meat is to introduce the meat
 more extensively in Alaska for con sumption. This was experimented on more or less in Southeastern AL aska last fall when. MT. Lopp return ing South in the sturdy little motor ship Boxer. placed a number of the reindeer carcasses on the market in Juneau and Ketch'kan. The meat sold very rapidly and the purchasers expressed their satisfaction as to the quality of the meat. To 'quote MT, Lopp. "This reindeer meat venture is in the way nf an experiment. It is our belief that q valuable trade in this line can be built up. Transpor
 ta tion difficulties have until recently ood in the way of commercial lizing the herds. but if the initial attempt
 shows d. profit the reindeer industry
 may develop into something worth
 while"
 The Bureau of Education does not
 own many reindeer compared to the
 other herds. The total number of
 deer owned by the Department does

:. n,C CAVE " NH" "EyICo
Carlsbad Cavern Made National
 Monument

Carlsbad Cavern is an immense cave in New Mexico that shows un- usual beauty and a great variety of natural features. IL is in the east ern foothills of the Guadalupe Noun tains. about 10 miles north of the Texas line and 22 miles southwest of Carlsbad, the principal town in southeast New Mexico.
 The cavern is said to have been discovered in 1901 by J. l.. White and Bige Long, whose attention was drawn to it by the great number Of bats they saw coming out of hole in the side of a small valley. They entered the hole and found cave containing large deposits of bat qua mo. These deposits were worked for several years.
 MT. White has recently explored several miles of the chambers of the cavern. About half mile from the opening, from which the bats weer seen coming, the cavern became phe- inominally large and spectacular. About three miles Of it's railways and chambers. including it's most ornate parts, were surveyed in the spring of 1923 by Robert A. Holley, of the General Land Office. Tn Sep tember 1923. the cavern was visited by Willis T. Lee, a geologist of the Department of the Interior who spent three days in examining and photographing it. On MT. Lees re- turn from New Mexico the National Park Service recommended that the cavern should be made national monument, and proclamation set- ting it apart as recommended was issued by the President October 9, 1923.
 Cavern Not Yet Fully Explored ! No part of the cavern has yet been thoroughly explored. but enough IS known of il to show that it will rank high among the famous caverns or the world. Visitors to il who say they are familiar with other great cavorns assert that some of it's cham
 bcrs surpass in size any others yet discovered. One room is more than
 half mile long and several hundred
 feet wide, and it's ceiling is so high that torchlights failed to illuminate
 it.
 The floor of the cavern is 110 feet below the entrance. which was form
 ed by the fan of a small part of the
 roof. In a distance in less than two
 miles from this point the floor de-
 seconds about 800 feet, vet the bot
 tom of the cavern lies still deeper,
 for MT White has found chambers
 and railways 200 feet lower. The
 depths of the cavern. therefore. lie
 at least thousand feet vertically be
 low the entrance.
 The geological conditions in the
 vicinity of Carlsbad Cavern are un.
 usual. The limestone in which the
 cavern has been carved is about L.
 300 feet thick and is underlain by an
 equally thick series of beds of soft red shale and sandstone that in
 clude thick beds of gypsum and rock
 salt. The occurrence of these easily soluabe beds under the 300 feet Of hard yet soluble limestone may | have produced cavernous condi- ti"n of he rocks that will show spec tacular results.
