YELLOWSTONE WONDERS

SlxCy-tlVe years ago Congress set apart
1875 square miles of land, mostly in
northwestern Wyoming, since known as
Yellowstone National Park, in order to
preserve for posterity one of the most won
derful groups of natural phenomena IN
the world.
The park is situated on a mountainous
plateau from six to eight thousand feet
above sea level, with many high peaks of
volcanic origin, but now extinct. There
are several lakes, the largest being yell
lowstone Lake, about 10 by 20 miles in ex-
tent and lying 7,741 feet above sea level.
The falls and canyon of the Yellowstone
River are among the most spectacular and
beautiful to be found anywhere.
OF paramount interest to many are
the geysers, about 100 in number-more
than exist in all the rest of the world.
Most of these spout water and steam,
others spout thick mud Excelsior geyseri
is the largest, flowing 1000 gallons of
boiling water a minute and throwing al
great column of water and steam 100 to
$50 feet high at irregular intervals. Old
Faithful geyser discharges column $50
feet high every "a to 65 minutes, amount.
ing to million and half gallons at each
eruption.
Good roads and modern conveniences
for the comfort and pleasure of visitors
are to be found in the park, which an
nually attracts great number of tourists
Hunting is forbidden, but fishing is per-
mitted. The park is one of the greatest
wild bird and animal preserves in the
world
1t was with excellent foresight that
this wonderful region was dedicated to
public use by Congress as the first of our
national parks, of which there are now

FIRE INSURANCE GROWS CHEAPER

The annual report of the president of
the National Board Of Fire Underwriters
points to the remarkable decline in the
cost of fire insurance.
The average charge per 800 of fire
insurance today is more than 40 per cent
lower than at the beginning of the century
And since 1900, the decline has been un-
interrupted average premium charged
each year has been lower than the year
before
Fire premiums are naturally based on
the fire loss occurring in an area. Reduc-
tions in premiums are not generally pos
sible unless a reduction in loss is con-
sistently recorded over a period of years.
For more than three-quarters of a century,
the fire insurance industry has worked on
the problems of fire protection and pre-
vention. 1t has covered the entire cOun-
try with an elaborate system of engineer
ing inspections of cities. towns and viii
lagos. 1t has tested building materials of
every kind and extensively studied build
ing methods. The facts produced by this
work are reflected in safer materials, and
in better municipal building codes The
model building code" promulgated by
the National Board has been widely made
into law.
No industry has done or is doing more
TO serve the nation-to protect the lives
and property of us all. 1t is as eager as
any policyholder to still further reduce
rates. And they will be reduced if every
individual will do his part in the war
against fire.

human nature and. so far as possible. TO
correct ones own errors is within the

it foI the moment, as it refutes itself.
See: Surprising. for the sake of argu-

to anyone familiar with pumping two

neither aid nor comfort to those who
would restore prosperity by ever
lasting printing.
However. Sandie, strongly adj
wise you, in rejecting upon economic
problems. not to think in terms of
pumps or any other misleading
analogies, but to view the structure
and functions of the business world
as they actually are and consider
whether the pouring in of purchasing
power can produce permanent pros

Without question, the spending of

on public works. purchase Of gold
and silver, soldiers bonuses, relief,
and all that. has brought about a
measure of prosperity and that, if
such showers of blessing could con-
tinue indefinitely. prices and paper
profits would soar to the stratosphere
OF ineVftable collapse. But. sad to say,
we are told on high authority that
very soon the financial frolic must be
ended, that budgets must be balanced.
and that we must arrange to pay the
piper.

cold water upon the ardent spirit of
business enterprise. No wonder that
the stock market is depressed So

will further inform you that when
the water did not flow it was often
because of a dry valve, which we
used to moisten by pouring water
down the tube-and that is what we
called printing the pump.
Nov. Sandie, as you have listened
well. you know more about pumps
than most of our politicians.
