May Carve Washington-Lin-
coin Statue on Needles"

Rapid City, S. D.-A national shrine,
modelled from one of natures vagaries,
and situated in the beautiful Black
hills of South Dakota, is the vision Of
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, and a
group of South Dakota residents who
view the Black hills as the greatest
undeveloped wonderland in the United
States.
The shrine would be monument of
Washington and Lincoln, standing
side by side, their figures carved from
huge needle-like piece of granite
which towers 200 feet above it's imme-
date base.
Borglum has long held this vision.
He expects soon to visit South Dakota
to discuss details for raising the
$1,000,000 necessary to its completion.
Shaft Visible Many Miles.
In the Black hills there is a group
of rocks that rise perpendicularly as
high as fifteen or more story Office
building. The rocks are known as

Mother of Morgan Palmer
Tells Story of Sons Fate.

Hardin, anchuria.-Morgan Palm
er, the American who was killed by
Chinese bandits at his ranch on the
Sungari river last month"; met death
while staging a warlike demonstration
intended to frighten away the bandits.
This news was brought to Hardin by
Palmer's mother and the son Of DR..
Harvey J.. Howard of the Rockefeller
hospital in Pelin, who were at the
ranch at the time. Doctor Howard, who
also was visiting Palmer, was captured
by the bandits and still is held for
ransom.
Mrs. Palmer, relating the details of
the fight, said thar her son, rising early
on the morning of July 20, declared
his intentio. to take guns and go by
automobile to show the bandits he was
prepared for them if they should at
tack his ranch. Doctor Palmer had in
tended TO take a river steamer for
Hardin that day, but joined Palmers
party with his son. The others were
a Russian chauffeur, Palmer's Chinese
servant and a Russian boy
Arriving at the village adjacent to
the bandits stronghold, the party got
out and sent the car back for rein
forcements but the Chinese guard in
the village refused to accompany the
party. Harold Baldwin, Palmers ranch
manager, returned with the chauffeur
and tried to prevent further advance,
knowing the bandits were well armed
and mounted.
g. Or. Howard Surrenders.
! Palmer, however, insisted on going
0on. He led his party to ruined
tempt. four miles from his ranch and
midway between two villages. Bald
win climbed to the top of the temple
70 reconnoiter. Palmer, Doctor Howard
and the Chinese and Russian boys en-
tered a nearby cornfield, while young
Howard remained alone in the car
From the top Of the temple Baldwin
saw the bandits mount and prepare
to mako a sortie. He descended and
started the car in pursuit of Palmer
and his group and at the same time
the bandits made a move to cut off
their retreat, whereupon Baldwin
swerved to pick up others of the party,
who from the running board of the gu
Gomobile carried on a running fight
while making " dash for the ranch.
Meanwhile Palmer and those with
him were encircled by another group
of bandit horsemen. Doctor Howard
and the Russian boy threw down their
rifles and made signs of surrender,

Plan Memorial in
Hills of Dakota

stood the elements more than its
neighbors and there remains a wide
base from which there ascends a shaft
tapering almost to a point.
This shaft rises to a height greater
than any elevation east of the Rockies
except Mount Harvey, itself in the
Black hills.

Of red, purple and gold, their slopes
dotted with towering pines. the pro-

Here Borglum found a setting for a
national memorial.
Financial Backing in View.
With the advice of several South
Dakota residents, Borglum chose as
the characters for this mortal
Washington and Lincoln, two outstand-
ing figures in American history, whom
he knew would appeal to the patri-
otism of every corner of the United
States.
Information reaching supporters Of
the memorial in this state indicates
that the financial problem will be met.
Several wealthy persons have listened
sympathetically to the plan, and it is
understood one New York multimil-
lionaire virtually has agreed to finance
the project single-handed.

REGARDING HUMAN AILMENTS

Cerebral physiology is in the en-
bryonic stage. We are still entirely
ignorant Of the properties Of nerve
cells. the nature Of nervous energy
and the Significance Of telepathic
phenomena. No one suspects the
manner in which memory, intelli-
sence, courage. judgment, and the
imagination are connected with
brain cells" So the noted DR.. Alexis
Carrel declared in a recent address.
He leaves the impression that we
best not be deluded with the idea
that science is soon to master all the
Ills Of the body.
While tho span Of life has been
heightened by reduction Of mortality
in infancy and youth, beyond middle
age the increase has been COM
paratively small. Cancer, that dead
~ enemy Of advancing age, is more
aggressive than ever. Nor does
science yet know how to deal with
it. And mans mind knows little
about the mind. While bacteriolosy
mas enabled cure to be had of many
diseases, nervous diseases under our
civilization have rapidly increased.

GOOD DRIVERS DON'T HAVE
ACCIDENTS

Allowing that every rule has its
exception we may accept the general
statement that good drivers don't
have accidents. This. however,
doesn't relieve the apprehension
arising from the fact that there
are many drivers who are not good
drivers. How remedy the situation?
Well, in the first place it is well
within the province of the licensing
power to see that no licenses are
granted to those who do not demon
strate ability properly to handle an
automobile. But a good driver Is
one who has disposition as well as
ability to drive properly. The
licensing board cannot submit the
disposition to an X-ray inspection,
but the public may contribute to its
development.
On the theory that pride must be
made to act where laws fail Ray W.
Sherman contributes an interesting
article to Motor. 1t is illustrated
with with the picture Of the man
eating with his elbows spread and
tipping over his neighbours coffee in
his reckless rush to satisfy his
hunger.
Now most people like to be lin the
know" They may be crude but are
not proud to be so considered: they
may be gourmands but dislike to adj
Vertise the fact by champing their
food; they may not know just what
fork or spoon to use at dinner but are
ashamed Of their incompetence.
There are many who pride them
selves on being good drivers, who
can handle a car deity but lack
brains, judgment, common sense: in
other words they are boob" drivers,
a menace to themselves and to the
public. Are they proud of It? They
are not if they realize it. but many
Of them do not stop to think that the
driver, who really knows how to
drive, rarely has an accident. They
shouldn't be permitted to forget it.
Pass the word along,

Eczema
Healed UP quickly

There is a new-day treatment for
eczema, based on decades Of skin
study. It combines the best that
modern science knows. The chief
factor is sulphur, because of it's
germ destroying powers. But other
factors have enormous value.
Mentho-Sulphur combines all fac
tors. 1t forms the best help we know
for skin troubles. Relief is instant,
healing begins at once. Often the
skin is cleared SO quickly that the
user is amazed.
Countless people are now ending
eczema in this quick. efficient way.
Everyone should use it for skin
troubles. Ask your druggist for jar
of Rowles entho-Sulphur, then
watch how it heals the skin. You
will be glad you learned about it.
