 As far as the eye can see is an eApanse Of shifting sands, most of it as soft and delicate as finely granulated sugar. There may be a small mountain Of 1t one day and only knoll the next. Many of these mounds are permanent, however, which rear back like q protecting cliff for the inland.
 In Illinois and Indiana the dunes cover region Of approximately 10000 square miles. The Indiana dunes park commission Is now in the process of obtaining 2,000 acres for a proposed Hoosier park, Trees and temporary houses or shelters standing clear one year will be found to be entirely submerged by live" dune the next.
 The dunes are formed by the constant sweeping winds which blow over Lake Michigan. The light sand is shifted back and forth. pro- ducing queer and freakish forma- lions. The dunes region originally was covered with great white pines but with the disappearance of the trees, due chiefly 10 unrestricted numbering. the dunes began 10 crumble.
 Geologists state that the land now lying in this section at one time was the basin of an inland sea greater than the present Lake Michigan, Lake Chicago, as this body of water was known, existed from 2,0o0 to 100000 years ago, and was formed in the passage of the second glacier. Tn three successive stages the lak0 receded, leaving the soft, sandy formation of the dunes.
 The dunes have a peculiar attrac- ton because of their vastness and their creation of sense of isola- ton. There is an ever changing panorama of hucs and tones. The undulating crests are broken by an

MRS. SCOTT DENIES
 IMPROPER ACTION
(Cotninued from First PageJ

during the reading Of depositions yesterday were received with tilted chin by Mrs. Scott. and with blank stare by the congressman.
 The couple sat through yester- days session with only the width of the counsel table between them.
 Congressman Scott's constituents filled the court room and gallery at both sessions Tuesday and were out early today, women predomlnatcd.
 Further elaboration of what took place on the congressional junket to Panama aboard the steamer Cristo- bal In 1921 is expected before Mrs Scott closes her case. Liquor drink ing and gambling were described yesterday in a deposition by Floren Dallaw, Filipino servant, who also told of finding the congressman and his secretary, Miss Jane Kennedy alone at the Scott office building at Washington.
 Tells Of Party What Congressman Scott had pre- vlously described as a noisy party" at his apartment the night of Oc- tober %, 1921, with Mrs. Scott play | ing hostess to two army officers, was pictured as a casual and perfectly proper call by Mrs. Clifford Ireland, wife of the former Illinois congress- man, who said in her deposition that both men conducted themselves as gentlemen should.
 A deposition by Miss Gwynne Jones of Washington fold Of liquor at the Scott home. which Mrs. Scott said had been brought back from Panama on the Cristobal. A party at the quarters of Captain Wilbur i "Jazzho" Sumner at Fort Myers, Va. in October, 1922, which had hocn painted as a tcte tete between Mrs. Scott and Captain Sumner, was in reality dinner in honor of sister of Colonel William Mitchell, former brigadier general, one deposition said.
 His Little Canary l Scotts reputed remark "T wonder if my little canary ever steps out. was quoted in the testimony of Mrs Marguerite Hamilton, friend or Mrs. Scott's. She said Scott had made the remark to his secretary, Miss Kennedy. who in turn had re- peated it to Mrs. Scott,
 Other testimony yesterday was: That drinking was tho regular thinT in official circles of Washington in 1921-1922.
 That the Scotts kept small sup ply of liquor at their apartment in Ithc Wardman Park hotel
 That mutual friends of tho ScottS 1 had tried unavailingly to reconci'" the couple, and that Congressman Scott sold his household furniture ! without the knowledge of his wife, who claims to have provided the money for making thH first furniture purchase.
