banks of the lovely Derwent
River, some II miles from the
open sea, and backed by snow
capped Mt. wellington, the city
has an ideal setting.
Not far from it is some of
the finest and most amazing
scenery to be found anywhere
on this globe. The city itself,
with it's red roofs and gray stone
buildings, is charming and very
beautiful.
ENCHANTING SCENE
The bird life of Tasmania is
a great attraction. Along the
lovely country roads great flocks
of gaily-colored parrots and
snowy cockatoos with colorful
crests fly merrily along. In the
procession are crimson and blue
rosellas, bright green parakeets.

Inland Tasmania is intensely
interesting, with mountain, forest
and river combining to form
constantly changing pict ures.
There is the "land of a thousand
mountains" near Lake st. Clair.
On clear days one can see half

low a wild gale whips and howls.
Yet the mountain SUBMITS are

TASMANIA


Out of a grim and ugly past
there has come into being one of
the most beautiful spots in the
world, as interesting and enter
prising as it is attractive.
Look on the map and you Will
find an island about as large as
Ireland hanging from the main
land of southeastern Australia.
This island is Tasmania, once the
most formidable of all convict
settlements, today the home OF a
happy and prosperous people that
is beginning to play host to many
visitors.
PENAL SETTLEMENT
It was during the first half OF
the last century that TASMANIA
was used as a penal settlement.
The eyes of the French were on
this island and so to head off any
chances of occupation, convicts al
ready sent out from England TO
Sydney and Botany Bay were
transferred to Tasmania.
Hobart was founded and there
was established the dreadful
prisons where men whose only Of
tense, perhaps, had been sheep
stealing or poaching, were lncar-
cerated under conditions that seem
well-nigh incredible.
Jails were also established at
Macquarle harbor and at Port
Arthur, but in 1853 the prison sys
tenn ceased, and since that time
Tasmania has forged ahead to
become an island of happiness.
Hobart is a most delightful
city, and, although the smallest
capital, contains the finest ex-

CAMPAIGN SONGS
The yen on the part OF po-

to make this campaign memor-

political conventions and the
halls of Congress in the last
few days of session rang with
music. In some instances the
words of familiar popular rhymes
lent themselves very readily to
parodies. Take-offs on "Oh SUI

Mice" pleased.

LIKES GOATS

Representative Usher L. Bur
dick of North Dakota mas farm
near Marlboro, Md. Perhaps there
wouldn't be much interest IN
Representative having farm near
here if it wasn't for the goats.
Representative Burdick is SUI
fering from goats, so to speak. He
has So. Sixty-eight well bred and
very valuable goats, and II one
goat is rather trial sometimes,
you can imagine how Representa-
tive Burdick feels. You shouldn't
think for a moment that he feels
too strongly about the subject,
however, because he likes his goats
It happened this way: Represen'
tative Burdick bought himself
nice herd of say ten Of fifteen. just
enough to really get the old south
pasture in good shape.
Well in due time the south pas
ture was all right and Representa-
tive Burdick found that in the
natural course of events he had
more goats than he had started
with. So, he put them in the
north pasture and they took care
of that and then he found that
his herd had been added to ana
that kept up until now he has So.
The trouble is that, as has been
mentioned before, Representative
Burdick likes goats. So, he never
sells them. He has a similar az
lection for them that some PEG
pie have for dogs and cats. He
names each one. He calls them
after the winnie the Pooh" books
and he calls them a lot of things
that come to his mind from time
to time. But he doesn't sell them.
He likes them. The only way he
gets rid of any is to give them
away. That is, he gives them away
to people he knows that will give
them a good home.
And so he has 60 goats all
named and the pastures on his
farm have almost all been taken
care Of.

KEEPS PROMISE

One man who isn't going to
close his offices at the Capitol
this summer is the same Represen'
tative from West Virginia, Jen-
nings Randolph.
When he was elected the first
time, one of his pledges was that
his office would remain open IL
months out of the year and ne IS
keeping his promise.
While Congress is not in ses-
sion he opens another office in
his home town of ElkinS, w. Va,
and travels back and forth be-
tween them. A secretary is kept
busy in both places arranging for

meet him any time they want to.
