ALETTER TO THE EDITOR

Being confined in a store on
Sundays without adequate reason
is not just; 1t is cheating one Of
a joy and privilege which Is held
as second to none in the esteem
of workers everywhere.
Partial Sunday closing Is
neither new nor novel. In many
localities in our country, as we'll
as in some foreign countries,
restrictions exist not alone as to
hours, but also as to the nature
of the merchandise sold during
those hours.
Drug clerks in this city are
not organized. They should be
protected by law. This suggestion
is not offered as a possible cur
tailment of personal liberty, but
solely as affording protection to
class of workers who at present
are virtually business slaves.

1t would be awfully hard to con.
vince anybody under Is that there
WAS a time when no man needed
a telephone or an automobile to
help him do his love-making.
This is the time Of year when
half the women are signing for a
Paris trousseaH--and the other
half are signing for a Paris di-
vorce.
To the average woman, saying
the right thing at the right mo-
ment is not such a remarkable
feat. It's keeping her mouth shut
at the right moment that requires
almost superhuman effort.
Chain a mans imagination-and
you'll need no ball and chain to
hold the rest of him to you.
The average man looks so inno-
cent, harmless and unalluring
when he is asleep that his wife
simply can't BELIEVE he is any
thing but perfectly true to her.
Presence of mind in a man al
ways denotes absence of love; he
never becomes eloquent except
when he doesn't mean anything.

Years ago fine hotel in the Old South became
famous for its superlative coffee. Travellers from
all parts of the United States praised the rich, mel
low flavor of Maxwell House Coffee
Southerners themselves boasted Of it. They said
no single coffee grown could taste quite delicious.
And they were right.
The flavor Of Maxwell House is a blend of nsany
different coffee havors, each selected for special
excellence. An expert in coffees with genius for
good living first worked out this choice blend,

and underneath it. The visitor is puzzled to know why it stays upon a foundation so apparently off the cen ter of gravity.
 If we think in terms of animate fife, there is hardly an animal, reptile or bird which is not reproduced here in alabaster. Yet I saw no living thing, plant or animal, on my trip last Wednesday-not even Scooter" on waters so still and transparent that formations on the bottoms of the pools gave the illusion of standing in the open air. It required pebble to ripple the surface to know that water was there.
 If we think in terms of tropical verdure there is not the shape of a leaf that is not reproduced there. The fuxuriousness of vegetation in the inn penetrable jungle is there, bewilder ingly beautiful. Again in places the the stately cactus tree stands dotting the floor of the cave and resembling an Arizona desert-but only in whites and grays. In places vines carved in stone cling to the ceiling and hang in dense foliage.
 If we think in terms of fruits the similarity in form is striking. Ap- ples, oranges and clusters of grapes are reproduced in the cave formations with striking fidelity, except that high colors are lacking.
 If we think in terms of ice and snow we see stalactites, like icicles from the tiniest and most fragile to giants 50 feet or more in length. We see waterfalls frozen in alabaster. We see ripples congealed in onyx. We see snowdrift piled on snowdrift, upon the lrest of which a man looks like a dwarf. Touch them and they are are stone.
 And then natures furnishings! Hanging froom the ceilings are mil lions upon millions of stalactites of every size and varying colors. The primary colors are absent. But shades shades of every kind, the like of which l have never seen, are there. Only an expert could name the many shades and hues of browns and blues and yellow sand grays.
 Beautiful laces woven in stone, by the hand of Gods lacemakers, adorn the walls. Great tapestries in onyx drop in folds as graceful in line as the dainty fingers of milady ever held the folds of velvet gown or an artist ever draped an oriental hanging. Yards in width and thin as cloth, na- ture wove these dressings for the subterranean rooms of mythical queens. A light held behind them makes them translucent as pearls.
 In little inches sculptured by the hand of unknown powers are placed miniature busts upon pedestals and all manner of ornamental bric-a-brac. The wonder of it never ceases. A new detail delights the eye at every turn.
 In one place in the great room are thousands of stalagmites from 3 to 15 feet in height and close together

NOTHING IN ALI THE WORLD
 LIKE CARLSBAD CAVERNS, LO-
 GATED DOWN IN NEW MEXICO

Carl c. Magee, editor of the New
 Mexico State Tribune, Albuquerque, : visited Carlsbad Cavernelast week and :. spent three days here. Those who Z. know him expected that his column K of Light" would cast some interest ing lights on the cavern-and they 7 were not disappointed. The following s: account of his trip is taken from the
 Saturday issue of the Tribune:
 "I have spent five hurs in the : Carlsbad Caverns-and am tongue
 tied. The inadequacy of words inn 1T lzassas me as never before. 1 would
 like--t to see some great descriptive
 writeE4 attempt the task of word- painting the caverns. He would fail to get-the picture he saw across to his reader. It simply cannot be done. Familiar objects, which might be used for purposes, of comparison, are lack
 ing There is nothing in all the world even-remotely like the Carlsbad Cav erns. The factors of light, life, sea-, sons---and death---play no part here.
 If we attempt to think in terms of
 great, cathedrals, we. fail. The high est ceiling man ever made is pigmy. The widest dome the greatest builder ever attempted would be but one of
 hundred alcoves in the caverns.
 Heights of 200 to VOC. feet are com mon.- Now and then, through a
 break in the domecan be seen an cleo tric light hundreds of feet further up. The stone dome of luncheon alcove
 of the Big Room must be 1,50O feet
 in -circumferenc The Big Room is three-quarters of mile long. We travelled three miles and back through room opening into room. Yet this three miles of wonderland is only one seventh of the plated cavern. The , Government has surveyed over 21
 miles in these caves. The visitor must wait until Uncle Sam can spend the money to build the trails to make the added caverns accessible. But the three miles now open are sufficient to paralyze the powers of the eye to see. The mind refuses te absorb more. A week in the caves and new wonders still would appear moment by mo- 4 nnsnt sThe visitor is told that above -t the highest ceiling is still another cave, with a great lake of water in it. He is shown that below the Big Room is another room. This we are assured is larger and more beautiful, if that :, is possible, than the present Big Room.
 As we think in terms. of architec- ture we find what man can do with : foundations and walls, and domes and arches so far outdone in strength, : symmetry and beauty that we are op- pressed by a sense of mans limita- : tions. Alcoves and cathedral caves are on every hand, the like of which l, no man can build. One immense obe-
 fisk has great pool of water about
