Mount Paylof
 Demonstrates
 Is Still Active

Mount Pavlof, one of Alaska s highest volcanoes, on July p strikingly demonstrated that 1t Is still active by showering the land and sea for a distance of 50 miles around with a thin layer of ash, This mountain, only miles from the Pacific Ocean, rises to an al- titude of $500 feet, more than twice the height of its famous cousin VeSuvius, on the other side of the world, which is about 4,3O0 feet high. Pavlof stands near the southwest end of the,Al- aska Peninsula, not far from the center of the great arc of vol canic mountains that stretches from Cook Inlet to the tip of the Aleutian chain of islands. Hun dreds of miles of this stretch have naver been mapped in de- tail, but a topographic map of the Pavlof district, covering the Alaska Peninsula from Port Mol Ter to Deer Passage and the ad- adjacent islands on the south, can be purchased from the Geolog- ical Survey, United States De- partment of the Interior, Wash ington, D. C., for 25 cents. The scale of the map is about miles to the inch. It was prepared by the Geological Survey in coop eration with the National Geo. graphic Socety and has just been reissued, incorporating addition al information.
 This area is one of striking con trasts and stern scenic beauty. The imposing mountain masses of which the active Pavlof Vol cano is a part contains also a northern cone called Pavlof Sis ter and the Aghileen Pinnacles,

Der Further Tells German Women
 To Be Beautiful
(By The Associated PresS)

NUREMBERG, Bavaria, Sept. l4-Fuher Adolf Hitler, the bach elor dictator appeared before ten thousand women at the Nazi party congress and lectured them on feminine attractiveness and how to make a success of mar riage. "You women should em- body the eternal feminine be- cause that never fails to attract the men," der Fuher said. A roar of Hills shook the sWastika-drap ed convention hall. Well leave the problem of how men and wo- men get along together to na- ture," he added.
 Der Fuher drew loud cheers from the fraus and frauliens when he predicted that the next gen. eration of men and women would be superior to the present one and he sarcaStically attacked what he said was false idea en- tertained abroad regarding Nazi women. Many people abroad es- pecially foreign women think our German women are enslaved and that their only task is to please the will of barbarous men, he said, then paused to chuckle.

Cotton though, one of its uses is the manufacture of munitions, has not yet been included in the list of goods affected by the or der.

of Pennsylvania to the Capitol, which
is an unfinished rival in stone Of the
Roman building Of that name, and,
dressed in black and silk stockings,
delivered a speech, ETC."
INDEED, what the authorities have
to say regarding Mr.. Jefferson's
second Inauguration Is only too true,
as the writer convinced himself by
following up the subject in the Ma
tional Intelligencer, where he found,
under date of March 6, 1905. only
brief, simple statement on the events
transpiring outside the Capitol on
that occasion. But even this, to his
mind, indicates at least that there
was possibly a procession from the
Capitol to the White House. The
mtelligencer item states:
"After the delivery of the speech
the President was waited upon by a
large assemblage of members Of the
Legislature, citizens and strangers of
distinction-and a procession was
formed at the Navy Yard, composed
Of the several mechanics engaged, and
marched to military music, display
ing. with considerable taste, the va
rious insignia Of their professions"
And the music quite likely included
the Marine Band as it then existed.
A Baltimore paper and Richmond
paper, both Of March. 1905. shed no
light on the parade, If there was one,
though the Presidents address was
carried in full. A London, England,
publication simply said: Mr.. Jeffer-
son has been reelected President, and
Mr.. G. Clinton elected Vice President
Of America.
"Mr. Jefferson delivered his in
augural speech to the Congress on the
4th ult. on the occasion Of his re-
election"
But is was long while before the
Avenue was given a substantial sur
face and those arriving here found
walking and travelling conditions any
thing put delightful at any time Of the
year, for in the Winter the roadway
became very muddy. and during the
Summer months it was extremely
dusty. Washington was never with
out its poets, and one very clever bard,
DR. George B. Wallis. then a corre-
spondent of the New York Herald. de-
picted in very clever verse what he
chose to call The Dust Clouds of Old

DR. WILLIAM GUNTON. who came
here from Norfolk, England. in
1907, and who evidently was stuck in
the mud, because he stayed here, and
died here at an advanced age. says
that when he arrived here. many parts

Even so years after DR.. Gunton
came here, during wet weather the

to sweep the crossing clean just fol
the tips they would receive from those
who felt grateful for the service.
One of these boys-after the lapse
Of more than half a century-related
an experience which, to say the least
was truly remarkable. He said:
THE place we picked out was from
DR.. Samuel B. Waite's drug store. ther

coat on, as he Is represented In his
bronze statue at the White House. In
riding along he usually wore his hat
nearly down over his eyes, peculiar
ity I could never account for, unless
it was because he sat so erect on his
horse as to enable him to look straight
forward"
p EFERRING to the planting Of the
~ Lombardy poplar trees, the same
author writes as follows:
"The manner of planting them was
rather singular. A row was planted
on each side Of the street near where
the curbstones were to be set. and In
addition to this there were two more
rows, Of equal distance from the curb
stones, and much nearer the center of
the Avenue, which left the center of
the Avenue quite narrow. The trees
were Lombardy populars, and were
planted by an old man named BuD-
tin. I and my younger brothers fire.
quently went down to see old Buntin
plant the trees, and I several times
saw Mr.. Jefferson (the President)
there. He was always fond of being
where improvements we're being
made"
To this Mr. Bryan. who is still with
us, we are gad to say, adds:
Nearly 30 years passed and the
Avenue remained as Jefferson planned
it. No Federal money was spent on
it except in the year 1907, when the
roadway was widened and drains were
built. Its maintenance and care were
left to the city. But even the large
sum for that day expended in 1904
was not sufficient to provide any kind
of paving. The surface of the road
was covered with gravel, as was done
in the case of streets improved by the
city authorities. In the Summer the
dust flew and in the Winter the mud
was deep. But the trees fourished
and were much admired, although
they were not shade trees.
"A year had hardly gone after the
Improvements had been completed
when the first inaugural procession
passed up Pennsylvania avenue, a
modest precursor Of street pageants
that have no equal in this country
for elaborateneSs and striking detail.
Jefferson's second inaugural was even
simpler in its outward form than the
first. 1t is singular circumstance
that so little attention was given to
this event that the only contemporary
account of Jefferson's going to the
Capitol is to be found in a personal
letter written by secretary of the
English Legation. On the 4th,' so
the narrative runs. he proceeded on
horseback from the Palace, which is of
white stone and the largest building
here, and. attended by his secretary
and groom, rode up the long Avenue
