Crater Lake in Oregon

Crater Lake in Oregon has the
most romantic geologic history of
any lake in the United States. It's
rim was once the base of volcanic
mountain which collapsed and sank
into the earth. Later it cooled,
springs came out of the sides, snow
collected and it filled with water. It
is 6 miles in diameter and con-
tains the bluest water known to ex-
list naturally today. There is no out
let and no streams running into it
and yet the water is always fresh.

Strikes Versus Wars.

LII you ever notice now ike a
~ war is strike?
The operator and his operatives
are the shock troops that suffer the
heaviest casualties. The owner risks
his profits and perhaps his market
and sometimes his plant. The work.
er gives up his wages, frequently
his job, occasionally his life.
Stockholders see dividends van
ishing and investments shrinking.
Citizens see their communities dis
rupted. Women and children go on
short rations, many a time go &C.
tually hungry. For, as in a war,
the innocent non-combatants bear
most grievous burdens.
Those who really garner in the
spoils-professional agitators; finan-
cial buzzards eager to seize on
bankrupted industries; lawyers with
their writs and their injunctions;
imported thugs masouerading, for
one side or the other as honest
mechanics-these might be likened
to stay-at-home diplomats and profit
GERS and hired mercenaries who
induce friendly nations to turn en-
emies so they may gain their own
selfish ends.
After it's over, we realize that
almost any strike might have been
averted had common sense and
common justice ruled, rather than
greed and entrenched stubbornness
and fomented hate. And the same is
true of almost any war. For every
real benefit to humanity came out
of peace and arbitration, not out of
battle and destruction.
And here's the final parallel: VI
timately, the supposed victor finds
himself the actual loser. Tell me
which army won any great strike
or any great war-and I'll tell you
who won the San Francisco fire and
the Galveston flood.

and the bloats that come with ma
turity? Sun baths should be taken
on doctors prescription, not at the
corner of First and Main.
Women old enough to know bet
ter are the worst offenders, seems
like. If only they'd stop to con-
slider that the snail, which is naked,
would lose in any beauty contest
against the butterfly, which wears
all the regalia the traffic will stand!
But even though it's for their own
good, you can't tell 'em. If some
body started the fad of going at
the game while practically nude,
inside of two weeks mumblepeg
would be the national pastime-un-
til somebody else thought up game
to be played by folks without
stitch on. Or anyhow, just a stitch
here and there.
Doctoring Movie Scripts.
T Usually they lay these yarns
~ on Mr.. Sam Goldwyn, who
thrives upon them and goes right
on turning out successes, his motto
being, whats grammar as be-
tween friends so long as the box
office shows results?" But, for a
change, this one is ascribed to an
other producer, who proudly de-
scribes himself as self-made man,
which, according to his critics, is
relieving the Creator of a consider
able responsibility and putting the
blame where the blame belongs.
They also say no self-made man
should stop with the job only partly
finished. But then Hollywood is full
of parties trying to push Humpty
Dumpty off the wall.
AS the tale runs, this gentleman
entered the conference chamber at
his studio and as, with a kingly
gesture, he laid down a fat sheaf
of typewriter pages, said to the
assembled intellects of his staff:
"Jumpmen, in all my experience
in the picture business this is what
you might call unique. Here is alb
solutely, possibly the only poifect
script have ever read in my ontire
life. I tell you that before we start
altering it."

Japan, France Deny Arms
'Ultimatum'
(By the Associated, Press)

War risk rates on international
maritime comnnerce-one barometer o1

Thursday on cargoes for the Orient
and the Western Mediterranean.
The reduction announced In Lon

developed in the Mediterranean as n,
outgrowth Of the Spanish civil war:
An easier political situation In
Europe.
The rates on cargoes to or from
Shanghai were cut to $l.26 for each
$500 Of value, whereas . month ago
the rate was SO. The Mediterranean
rate was reduced from $l.s7 to $l.25.
But In Paris, Senator Henry Ber-
enger, chairman Of the foreign rela.
tions committee Of the French senate,
declared Japan had warned Of prob
able retaliation for any arms ship
ments from French Indo- China to
China.
Deny sUltimatum'
The French foreign office and the
japanese embassy formally denied
that France has received an "ulti-
matum" from Japan. Nevertheless,
senator Berenger still insisted his
statement held good, as he had not
used the word "ultimatum."
In the Spanish civil conflict, gov
ernment forces harassed the il1surgent
troops Of Generalissimo Francisco
Franco with artillery and infantry
attacks in the upper and lower Aragon
