u. S. TOURIST
PLANS

zach succeeding year the ex-
IL pansion policy OF opening
more scenic territory for Ameri-
can tourists has been carried out
in the Rocky Mountains. Here.
in the recesses Of the vast 1900
square miles of mountainous
country, Nature has reserved
enough curtain raisers," 1t is
figured, to enable the National
Parks Bureau to prolong this
program of revealing something
new, almost indefinitely.
On June Is, when the 1926
tourist season opens. there is ex-
pected an unusual tide of travel
to the newly established comfort
able wilderness camp sites in the
much-heralded Waterton Lake
section Of Glacier Park, which adj
joins the Canadian border. There,
work already has been started on
q new $1,OOO,OOO hotel, which,
when finished in 1927, will be a
popular halfway resort for
travellers both ways between Many
Glacier, in Glacier Park, and
Banff, in the Canadian Rockies.
According to observations made
by the American Research Foun-
dalton. the season of 1926 promises
to be the greatest out-of-door year
in the history Of American tour
ing. It bases its prediction on
the fact that the American people,
as a whole, are receiving better
wages and are showing a tend
ency to spend their money to
greater human advantage than
any other people ON the face of
the globe. .,.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Love Song of a Working Girl
Thou art fair, oh my Beloved,
thou art fair and goodly.
Yea, thou art more comforting
than a good mirror, and more
flattering than wedding ring!
Lo. thou hast spared me from
the kiss of boredom, and saved
me from the marriage of con-
venience. Thou hast delivered
me from ennui and the harmless
necessary husband!
Many thrills have / known. But
none like unto that which filled
me, when first mine eyes beheld
THEE-and knew thee for
mine own!
Thou hast rescued me from
the tyranny of relatives, and
made me the envy of married
women. While / have thee, no
woman shall call me Poor
thing" and no husband shall
have dominion over me!
Thou bringest me joy in the
springtime, when the shops are
full of enticements, and I hear
the call of the wild milliner!
Thou settest me free from the
wearing of my last years hats,
and coVerest me with new. ones!
Thou art slender, my beloved,
but thy virtues are many. Yea,
thou art more punctual than a
devoted husband, and more de-
pendabIe than a perfect lover!
Thou never keepest me WATT
INGI
When I clasp thee to mine
heart, I know that thou art all
mine OWN, and no other woman
hath any claim upon thee. And
what Wife feeleth such surety
in her husband?
Thou questionest me not con-
corning my goings or my COM
ings, and whatsoever I may do,
thou never reproovest me. am
not required to cook for thee;
neither am / called upon to find
thy shoes!
Thou fillest my life with many
diversions, and sparest me the
boredom of killing time" Thou
takest me to the Good Restau-
rants, and coverest me with fine
raiment and aIl-silk hosiery. Thou
adornest me with trinkets and
slaVe-braceIetg!
Verify, thou art sweet! For,
while thou art with me, to stay
me, shall be delivered from the
folly of the wrong marriage, and

DIR. Gault, the psychologist Of
Northwestern University, Evan
ston, Ill, calls 1.-THE swing OF
speech" There has never been
any doubt in the minds of those
who have studied the subject that
the element of rythm plays a very
great part in the effect produced
by spoken language. But DIR.
Gault has devised an apparatus
by means of which this rythm
can be conveyed even to the deaf,
who learn to interpret spoken
language through their finger
tips.
The apparatus employs the
sense Of touch in place of that Of
hearing to convey to the brain
the vibrations produced by the
sounds of words spoken into q

the receiving end. The finger
tips touching the disk distinguish
the various vibrations originating
from the sounds, and with prac-
tice the learner acquires the
ability to associate groups of vi
brations with the corresponding
words. The apparatus becomes,
in effect, a radio machine for the
deaf.
Sense Organs
The "feel of speech" another
term used by DIR. Gault, is psy-
chologically very significant. The
sensitive finger tips become as 1t
were auxiliary ears, or substi-
tutes for ears. The one thing
needful is to get the delicate vi.
brations which constitute speech
transferred through the nerves
to the brain.
