ut is true that physically Iceland's

The land ls actively volcanic, and In
the interior, on every hand, are the
evidences of great fiery outbursts of
the past. To tourists It presents none
of those scenes which have made 9TH
er lands popular; no forests, no rich
meadows, no prosperous-appearing
farms with beautiful gardens.
in spite OF adverse conditions, in
spite Of earthquakes and volcanoes,
and the absence of luxuries, the Ice
landers cling to their land with fierce
pride. They have national life
which Is different from that Of any
other land in the world.
"rbey feel strongly their one-timc
glory and value highly the culture and
civilization that they built practically
without outside help and Ia which the
Iceland of todny has Its roots. Not
only have they long ranked among the
most literate people In the world, but
they possess broad knowledge and
excellent taste in literature.
"The people Of Iceland have great
literature Of their own In the old
sagas, and many Of their modern poets
are especially gifted, Their folk songs
are popular throughout the country
and rank the best Of any natlon.'

French Council May Bar
Beating Rugs Outdoors

Paris-The French hygiene council
is considering making IT a punishable
misdemeanor to shake rug or beat a
carpet outdoors.
It is now law that carpet seaters
must not be operated until after ten
o'clock in the morning, but the coun-
ell has discovered that the courtyards
Of Paris are filed with microbes
whose presence can be traced directly
to carpets shaken from upper win
dows before ten o'clock.
Likewise the council may forbid
housewives to empty their electric
carpet sweepers into the dust bin. 1t
will be legally compulsory to burn all
dust.
