Map Carved In Wood
Has Lakes Of Glass

BILLINGS, Mont (F)-A relief map
carved in wood and showing the
mountains neighboring on Yellowstone
park will be the contribution to pos
terity of Fred Inabit, clerk OF the dis
trict court of this city.
Inabit has explored sand climbed
Bear Tooth and AbSaroka mountains
for the last quarter of a century. His
map shows every peak, glacier, lake,
waterfall and stream in true propOr-
ton and with minute accuracy of de-
tail
Born in Switzerland, he inherits his
skill in woodcarving from his father,
cabinet maker.
He uses United States Geological
survey contour maps, From these he
traces accurately to scale each 500
foot contour upon Gone-eighth inch
strips of Eastwood, which then are
cut out and super imposed on each
other. Over this frame work of the
map he applies an art clay, molding
the shape of the mountain, plateau or
canyon. d
The surface then is painted. White
represents the region above timberline;
gray, the glaciers; dark green, the tim
'bered slopes of the mountains, and
light green, the lower plateaus, foot
hills and prairies Lakes are shown
on the map by pieces of mirror glass.

MARTS THROWN
into CONFUSION
BY news EVENTS

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 lP)-Financial
and commodity markets were thrown
into confusion this week by a series OF
important developments, the .cOnSe-
Quences of which will not be definite
ly determined for months. First,
there was the announcement of Presi-
dent Coolidge that he did not choose
to be candidate in 1923; second, the
reduction in rediscount rates by the
New York federal reserve and other
central institutions; third, the adj
journment of the Geneva conference
without reaching an agreement, and
fourth, the changes in the crop out
rust damage in the wheat belt and
the more favorable weather in the cot
ton growing districts.
The stock market had completed
string of 90 sessions of almost steadily
rising price movements when the
presidents announcement was made,
causing crash of to 16 points at
the opening of the market on Wednes-
day The recovery was even more sem
sational, stimulated by the easier credit
conditions wiping out practically all
of the losses and sending scores of is
sues to new high ground. Then came
the traditional selling on the good
news" which developed into a sharp re-
action late Friday, and considerable
irregularity in the closing session of
the week.
The reduction in the rediscount rate
was the first change in Q year.
In view of the decline in other none
tary accominoda dations, particularly the
rate on bankers acceptances which had
fallen 7s of / per cent below the re-
discount charge, the reduction was re-
garded as Inevitable. The only argu-
ment advanced against it was the pos
sibility that it would result in fur
tiler initiation of securities prices. But
with brokers loans already at record
high levels and the element of political
uncertainty injected into the financial
situation months earlier than had been
anticipated that danger appears to
have been ninimized
The advance in sterling exchange to
around the years high level also was
a reflection of the lower rediscount
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-08-07

rates here on the theory that it would
stimulate the movement of capital to
London where higher interest rates
are available thereby leading to the
purchase of sterling and the sale OF
American dollars. Other foreign ex-
changes held firm except Spanish
pesetas, which broke rather sharply in
the closing days of the week.
Grain prices, particularly wheat,
rallied sharply on buying influenced
by reports of the black rust crop dam
age. Cotton, on the other hand, was
freely liquidated and broke $40 or
$12 bale below the high levels of
the season on fears of sharp upward
revision of earlier crop estimates.

ster. A British commission on his
torical monuments has recently sim
gled it out as specially worthy of

The most noticeable feature of the
exterior Of this old building is a carv-
ed figure of a "Bluecoat Boy" which
stands in a semi-circular niche above
the main entrance Below the niche

is inscribed, "This Blewcoat school
was built in 1709." At the back of ethe
building is an exterior wall painting
of another "Bluecoat Boy" The lads
dress is a faithful copy of the costume
of the citizens of London at the period
when the school was built. The or
binary attire of apprentices and serv-
ing men was then long blue coat and
breeches, with which yellow stockings
were generally worn.

WOULD MAKE DISTANCE
SAME FOR ALL


-Four clubs in the American league
- Philadelphia, New York and ST.
Louis-have playing fields that will
not admit of Griffith's 32O-foot home
runs at the foul line limits.
Since 1t is an impossibility to change
the concrete staudiums to provide the
extra distance, the fault can be reme-
died by zoning system.
The stands in the parks that are
less than 800 feet could be so marked
that balls passing on one side OF a big
white line would be two bases or three
bases, as might be agreed upon, while
hits to the other side of the line would
be regulation home runs.
This would necessitate the umpires
following more closely all drives into
the bleachers, but would entail no
great added task or responsibility.
The home run situation needs
nsideratiOn, regardless OF
whether or not ZOning system
would solve the problem. The
home run must be taken out Of the
joke class.

BLUECOAT PUPILS
WEAR OLD COSTUME

LONDON. up - Pupils of the old
"Bluecoat School" not only wear the

coat and yellow stockings, but also,
winter and summer, go without head
covering.

SENATOR'S HAVE BIG PARK

For years the regulation home run
distance was 235 feet from the home
plate to the stands Recently it was
increased to $50, but the extra Is feet
made the making of a home run no
more difficult.
1t is President Griffiths' thought
that the minimum distance should be
800 feet. Certainly any ball travelling
that far into the stands or over the
wall must be rated q fairly respectable
home run.
In advocating such change. Presi-
dent Griffith is fortunate in owning
ball park that can well handle such
restrictions. Washington has one of

Any home run made in Griffith's ball
lot is "legit"

GRIFFITH BERATES
1927 HOMERS

The home run habit has become q
joke, thinks Clark Griffith, president
of the Washington club. I am in
clined to agree with him.
Unquestionably a circuit wallop is
one of the big thrills of baseball. I
am surprised that it has retained its
great popularity when one considers
the monotonous regularity with which
the players make them.
Many pitchers, weak batters, who
have always regarded the making of
a home run as more or less of fairy
tale, have broken into the select circle
within the last few years.
Twenty years ago any player capa-
BILE of amassing total of 10 home
runs for the reason was sure to lead
the league in that respect. Now q
league leader usually boasts about 40.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-08-07

There is no denying that some
of the modern home runs must be
rated at least pretty good laugh
because of the many joke features
connected with them.

As all your citizens know, we

I Have Said in Ny Heart

FRIENDS.
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON

| believe in making new friends
Nothing keeps one so young and
alert as the bringing Of new people
with new viewpoints into ones lift.
The friends that one makes after
thirty-five or forty are the friends
tlat appeal to ones maturity, and
they fill place that the friends OF
ones youth seldom hold.
The only joyous thing about old
friends is the memory Of the init
macy and sentiment connected with
thoughts Of youth and the begin
ming OF life.
The happiness to be found in new
friends is in the enjoyment Of a
new community of interests and in
hearing your pet ideas discussed
and measured from fresh view
point.
Memo: Never say, I'm too old
to make new friends" for when the
inclination is gone to draw some
kindred soul to you your brain has
grown lazy, Jour soul has shriveled
and life itself has become stale and
Improbable.

of it 1t is perfectly natural that
you would drift apart.
No use to say that, if such lit
tie thing as ones amusements has
power to wean away one person
from another, certainly the friend
ship between them has never been
binding, for the people with whom
one is entertained and amused are
ones greatest friends.
After all, friendship has one ele-

have wondered where that silly
idea came from, that one made all
their friends in their youth. Like
many other things that one says
without thought, and never at
tempts to prove, the idea that one
makes all his friends before he is
thirty is most fallacious.
How many OF the friends that you
made in your callow days do you
still find bound to you with hoops
of steel?"
Even when you have lived near
them all your life you find yourself
drifting away from those whom you
cared for in youth
This is often no fault OF either
your old friend or yourself. Each
of you has become interested in
other things. Each has taken diff
ferent paths along life's road.
For instance, suppose that the
son, neither can we always decide
just why we seek the friendship oil
certain people. Usually in both
cases, however, we find that we are
amused and entertained BY them
rather than instructed and edited.

ests change, consequently, while
one still enjoys and clings to those

ROADSIDE BUYING

Benefits that may accrue the farmer and the
gardener from selling fruit vegetables and other produce
Of the farm roadside stands aested by the hundreds
Of such stands riding through the rural sections
by automobile.
There conditions, however that prevent both the
bona fide rural producer and the city dweer getting the
full benefit of such business enterprise

thinks he is buying fresh produce directly off the farm
For instance, when iceberg lettuce at road
side stand said lettuce having been grown in The Imperial
freight he becomes suspicious other produce displayed
the stand This holds of peaches by the road
side al when the Georgia peach crop just coming
upon the market
Fortunately the offenders are comparatively few when
contrasted with those who sell their goods for just what
they arefres fruit vegetables and eggs raised the
farm But against the square dealers there brought the
indictment that they charge exhorbant prices high
as or higher than the top city market prices for the
top-grade goods
The solution, plain and reasonable, is for the pur
veyor the roadside stand to sell nothing but fresh fruit
vegetables and other produce of his farm prices
somewhat above what he could gel for them wholesale
after carving them the city markets. but somewha:
under the prices that the would be required 10

getting better price for his goods than in the ordinary
method of marketing, while the would get fresh

Well, it isn't simple that There's not just one

crooks.
The policeman has to make people behave themselves
They most often interfere with joyrider harity and
offenses against only law and ORDER but also public

create enemies.

ELIMINATING THE UNFIT

A thoughtful New York State
judge advocates permanently lock
ing up the mentally unfit so that
they can not marry and have chill
dren. We have, OF course, institu-
tons. but they house but a small
part OF those they ought to house.
The judge wisely says that weak
strain in live stock-whether it is
a horse, COW Or pig-is eliminated
by proper selection The comnun-
ity permits the unfit to mate with
the fit and huge families Of defec-
tfyes are the result.
That's the kind Of problem that
the leaders Of this republic, in state
and nation, back away from. But il
is the most important problem Of
