BEAUTY SPARKLES
IN BLACK HILLS
Scenic Variety Ranges From
Dramatic SpectacIes to
Quiet CANYONS.

DEADWOOD. s. Oak, July 49,
Black Hills folks have a delightful
habit of saying, You amt seen moth
ing yet" when visitor stands in awe
as some new scenic marvel-in the ma
ture of calm, somber, uplifting beauty,
or of grotesqueness and eerieness-is
unfolded.
The Black Hills-the Sioux gave
them their name, Paha sapa in the
red mans tongue-could easily be
called mountains. for there are peaks
here of 5000 and 1000 feet, but the
connotation of Black Hills is so apt
that the name has remained and been
revered. Among the better known
peaks are Mount Coolidge and Mount
Harvey. from whose tips may be had
thrilling vistas of misty and mile-deep
wooded valleys.
Giant Faces Overlook Region.
Mount Rushmore, with its colossal
carvings OF Washington, jefferson,
Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
looms, as Frank Lloyd Wright, the
famous architect. so beautifully put it,
as though the spirit of the mountain
had heard a human prayer and itself
became human countsnance."
Unique in their architecture are the
famous Needles. mountainous forma-
uonS and piles of stone, needle shaped
here. olade-shaped there. and over
there a tremendous block seemingly
balanced on knife point-it seems
poised to crash its tons Of granite on the
oefenseless head of the passerby. But
it never does-old Red Men say their
srest-grandfathers saw these gargan-
tuan litholithic blocks hanging there
in their day and had been there al
ways. A walk or a drive through these
grotesque and strange rock masses Is
travel thrill.
For the seeker of quiet beauty and
OF less rugged nature, there are nu-
merous delightful canyons, threaded
by gurgling. purling and eager streams.
And fine trout fishing is afforded In
these deeply hidden canyda1 streams.
Among the better known streams are
Spearfish, Rapid and Boulder.
Land of Mystery Nearby.
The Bad Lands, which lie on the
outskirts of the Black Hills, can be
summed up in no better phrase than
"a land of mystery" Here are the
remains of what was one tropic area,
later covered by sea, which then
receded. The elements since that age,
cons ago, have been tirelessly at work
and today it is region described by
Mr.. Wright as IAN endless supernat-
ural world. more spiritual than earth,
but created out of it." Over all at
times hover delicate pastel shades
ranging from deep mustard to deep
coral and rose. And spotting the
chalky cliff sides are numerous wild
flowers of the most delicate of fiber
and exquisitely shaped carollas and
dreamy tints.
To the scientists this is one of the
richest fossil regions on earth Here
there once roamed the giant dino
saurs, wild hogs, tiny horses and
other now extinct animals, and their
bones lie mummified in the cliffs.
Even the casual traveller can unearth
bits of fossil. such as teeth, jaw bones,
leg bones, etc. On the edge of Rapid
City stands the School of Mines its
museum containing one of the finest
collections of fossil remains and pet
rified woods in the world

thousand million dollars in. the current year The

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

or bluffed at the time was Wash
ington'S best bet for peace. Ameri-
can diplomats don't share the be-
lief of some high British officials
that Nazi Germany can be de-
pended on to spend her strength
against Soviet Russia instead of
seeking complete European doml-
nation by an attack on France.
When Germany first began
maneuvers equivalent to mobili-
cation, both Roosevelt and Hull
made speeches they hoped would
directly affect Hitler's plans. The
effect hasn't been noticeable. But
IFS contended at the State Depart
ment that the government did all
it could.
Stronger gestures, in keeping
with the present neutrality laws
which the administration wants
repealed, might have been made.
The State Department might have
invoked the 1921 peace treaty
which forbade shipments of mu-
nitions t. Germany.
But Hull recently denied pub
licly that his department was vio-
lating the law in issuing licenses
for munitions exports to Ger
MANY and apparently no such
step was contemplated.
Faced with proof that strong
words and solemn admonitions
have no diSsuading effect on a
man like Hitler, the State De-
partment falls back on its only
concrete program designed to pre-
mote world peace.
This is the program Of inter
national trade agreements so dear
to Secretary Hull. >
Its effectiveness as a peace pro-
gram may be doubtful. Hull and
his associates, nevertheless, insist
it's the only constructive effort
with potentiaities for peace now
onerating in this worried world.

VTASHINGTON.--B hind all
w maneuvers Of the U. S. gov
eminent in relation to War-cloud-
ed Europe has been the strong
belief, firmly held by the man in
the White House as we'll as other
officials, that Hitler is aiming
toward German war of revenge
against France.
This conviction nurtureS a GER
tainty that concessions to Herr
Hitler will only strengthen Ger
many's economic power, her war
machine and her prestige toward
the day when France will be at
tackled and Britain will come to
her defense.
Hence the curiouSly complicated
administration policy Of trying to
make it appear that the U. s.
would not have stood by in COM
plete neutrality if England and
France had insisted on a prompt
showdown with Germany over
Czechoslovakia.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull went on the theory that the
only thing which might dissuade
Hitler from further aggression
would be a threat of British
French-Russian military oppoSi-
ton plus vague threats Of some
thing or other which, might be
done by the U. S.
A sort of corollary American
policy developed, based on hope
that strong declarations by Roose-
welt and Hull, aimed at Hitler,
Might "put spine" in the British
and French. But public sentiment
for peace and isolation prevented
Roosevelt and Hull from saying

the man whose words were part
of the quotation.
The word Heart is good word.
And we should all take heart in
whatever line of work our life
leads us. To lose heart is to lose
all. Since the word Heart seems
to be at the center of this correc-
ton, am quoting the following
four lines from someone:
Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the blossoms,
Kind deeds are the fruits"
Let us sow good seed in all the

LEARNING TIE TEACHERS:
By Noah HOLLOWELL

I'm this Streamlined age when pub
lie school teachers run hithcr and
thithcr for bed and beard and no
longer live as a body in the COM
munity where they teach parents
have little opportunity to learn Of
the qualities Of their teachers and
their idiOsyncrasies eXcep
through the children, who often
present distorted view of the in
structor. But we have all had suf-
ficient time during this school
year to form our opinions about
the new teachers.

school room first and inquired for

after some violent words Of
mouth had been uttered by mrs

sure enough and told her husband
to do his duty; he done the

his or her younguns or anybody
else's younguns would receive the
same kind of punishment if they
