Old Viking Port of Bergen

Situated at the head of the Ber-
gensfjord and pierced by its three
branches, the old Viking port Of
Bergen, Norway, lies wedged in be-
tween it's quays and its mountains,
with Floifjellet, over 1000 feet high,
rising at its back door. Tile-roofed
houses in white and yellow stick to
the mountains sheer slopes like pins
on map, and cable-car takes
travellers up to Floien on its crest,
where they can look down on the city
and the ford spread out below.
On the old German quay is
Nordnes, the oldest part of the city,
where tiny houses, damned one
against another, cling precariously
to the slopes of steep hill and mar
row streets climb a zig-zag course
to the top. These houses are an
cient, and Bergen, in spite of it's
tumble of traffic, the life and color
of it's fish market, is an ancient
city. It was founded in 1910 by
King Olav Kyrre, the Peaceful, and
during the Middle ages was a great
poart of the Hanseatic league.

First Governor Of N. w. Territory

Gen. Arthur st. Clair was appoint
ed the first governor of the North
west Territory, and in the summer
of 1888 he established his headquar-
tiers at Marietta, Ohio. The day of
his arrival someone stationed at
Fort Harmar wrote in his journal
that "on landing he was saluted
with IS rounds from the field piece.
On entering the garrison the band
played a salute; the troops paraded
and presented their arms. He was
also saluted by a clap of thunder
and a heavy shower of rain as he
entered the fort, and thus we re-
ceived our governor of the western
frontiers. Of the original domain of
the Northwest Territory six states
were formed-Ohio, Indiana, ILL
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part
of Minnesota. Such were our hum
BILE beginnings. The pattern of de-
mocracy had been established in
the old Northwest.

The Columbia Icefield Area

Many of the worlds most accom-
plished Alpinists have, at one time
or another, explored and climbed in
the Columbia Icefield area, where
there are no less than six major
peaks that rise to a height of more
than 1000 feet each. With an
area of 100 square miles it is the
largest icefield south of the Arctic
on the continent. It is frequently
referred to as "the mother of riv-
ers" by reason Of the fact that it is
the source of three rivers whose
waters flow to three different
oceans. These streams are the Co
lumbia, flowing to the Pacific; Sas-
katchewan, which reaches the At
lantic by way of Hudson bay. and
the Athabaska, which finds an out
let through the Mackenzie into the
Arctic.

About the Swastika

The swastika, oldest of all Aryan
symbols, is definitely pre- Christian
and many specimens of it have
been found in the diggings of old
Troy. From it's rough likeness to a
wheel it is associated by some with
the solar motion and early worship
of the sun, through the most impor-
tant of it's attributes, in ancient
usage, is it's character as charm,
a sign of benediction, of long life
and good luck. It is the sacred
symbol of one Buddhist sect, and
from time immemorial has been
known to all peoples of Asia. The
fact that it was not unknown to the
American Indian is held to point
to early communication between the
hemispheres. The word, swastika,
says the Detroit News, derives from
the Sanskrit "su" meaning well, and
"asti'' which means being. On the
bust of Apollo in Vienna's famed
museum of historical art is large
and unmistakable swastika, which
bears out the supposed solar signif-
icance, and identifies that god, per-
haps, as the first of the Austrian
Nazis.

Descendants of Viking
Chiefs Recall Grandeur

At Visby, picturesque capital Of
the island of Gotland, there is pre-
scented an historical pageant, which
is a popular feature Of the Scandi-
navian season.
Over this lovely Baltic island flies
the flag of Sweden and over it's tur-
reted walls and vaulted ruins there
is peace-a peace shot through with
dreams of long-gone grandeur, says
a writer in the Philadelphia Inquir-
err.
Here roses bloom in profusion
where once bearded Goths prostrat-
ed themselves in worship of the sun
where later Viking chiefs sought
safe harbor for their sea-weary
ships and where, during the Middle
ages, the all-powerful Hanseatic
league established it's trading CEN
ter.
Here, long ago, sea-faring Got
landers lived amid wealth and re-
finement, their ships the rulers Of
the northern seas. But their very
wealth brought about their decline.
Seemingly secure behind its
mighty city walls, Visby allowed the
tales of it's great wealth to spread
beyond the seas. They were mint
ing their own gold coins, those Got
landers-even their pigs ate from
troughs of hammered silver.

OF UNIVERSITY
BUILDING

The George Washington Univer-
sity of Washington, d. c., celebrated
Constitution Day, May 1S, 1888, by
laying the cornerstone of its New
Hall of Government building, the
gift of Mrs. Henry Alvah Strong,
who was an honored guest at the
exercises.
With the trowel used by George
Washington when he laid the corner
stone of the Capitol in 1893, the
massive cornerstone weighing 2,79S
pounds was set in place under the
auspices of the Grand Lodge, F.A.-
AM, of the District of Columbia,
with Grand Master Leonard P.
Steuart officiating. He was assisted
by all the other Grand Lodge officers
in full regalia.
During the Masonic ceremonies,
Mrs. Strong placed the first bit of
mortar under the cornerstone, using
a small trowel which has been used
in the dedication of other buildinge
erected through her philanthropies.
The Supreme Council of the Scot
fish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction,
established the School of Government
with am endowment of a million dol
lars in 1928.

Big Massacre Blamed on
Smell of Baking Bread

An Indian who wouldn't take no
for an answer when he wanted
bread and could smell it baking,
precipitated one of the bloodiest In
dian massacres in Michigan's his
tory, says a Byron (Mich.) CORE
spondent in the Detroit Free Press.
AS result the little town of By
ron, settled in 1925, was wiped out
and every family-except one
slaughtered. The one family was
that headed by miller named
Smith.
The Indians refused to harm
Smith because he had taken one OF
their chiefs who was severely in
jured into his home and cared for
him until he recovered.
The massacre resulted when the
husband of the woman who refused
to give bread to the Indian walked
into the house and shot him dead.
The Indians demanded Immediately
that the killer be turned over to
them for punishment. They threat
ened to kill and scalp every settler
and burn their homes unless this
were done.
In general the settlers felt that
the killing had not been justified,
but they stubbornly refused to sub
NIT one of their members to the
Indians for torture. They sent a
runner to get company of soldiers
from the fort at Detroit.
That night, Smith, who had been
confined to bed because of an ill
ness, heard guns fired, piercing
cries of agony and the roar of
flames consuming his neighbors'
log cabins. He rushed from bed to
the door. A blanketed Indian told
him to go back to bed.
Smith attempted to go to the help
of his friends through a back win
dow. Another Indian barred his
way. Imprisoned in his cabin he
watched the destruction of the viii
lage.
The next day a squad of soldiers
arrived. They found the village re-
duced to piles of charred logs, and
heaps of hot ashes covered by the
bodies of the victims, with Smiths
family the only living beings.

CARELESS CARRIERS

Are you planning for your vaca-
ton? Looking up routes, places,
camps, getting your outfit in order?
If you are, you will be interested in
what DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health adj
vises you to put down as Item Num-
Der One-Very Important, on your
list of preparations. Here it is:
IF you have not been vaccinated
against typhoid fever within the
last year or two, go to your doctor
or the nearest health officer and have
him give you the three shots that
will protect you against that dis
ease. 1t takes several weeks for the
protective treatment to establish it.
self throughout the system, SO it is
not wise to wait just before you
start your trip, to have it done. Be-
gin the treatments without further
delay.
Typhoid fever is much less of a
menace than it was number Of
years ago. But it still is the cause
of much unnecessary sickness. You
take Typhoid fever by way of the
mouth. You either eat or drink the
germs. You contract the disease
through the use of water, milk or
other foods that are contaminated
by typhoid germs that have been
passed by somebody who is i'll with
the disease or who has had 1t at
some time.
Protection Of public or private
water supplies from pollution; pas
teurization of milk; protection OF
food supplies from contamination:
and other sanitary precautions, have
reduced the danger from such sour
ces of infection, greatly. But there
are other sources of danger that can
not be reached by public precaution-
airy measures.
Some people who have had ty-
phoid fever continue to pass the
germs that cause the disease, long
after they have recovered from the
illness. Such persons are known az
carriers. When such person are
careless in their personal habits-if
they fail to wash their hands
thoroughly before handling food or
preparing it for others to eat-they
are likely to leave the typhoid germs
on any food they touch. Some of
the most serious out breaks Of ty-
phiod that have occurred in recent
years have been due to careless
carriers.
There are other sources Of the
disease that must be considered also.
A stream or spring along the road
side may be clear and sparkling but
that does not mean that the water
is free from contamination. Milk
may be a source of danger, too.
If you are mot sure at any time Of
the purity of your supply, it is al
ways safer to boil milk as well as
water before using. Health depart
ments can, and do, safeguard you
against scources of infection. Vac
cination against the disease Is the
best protection against other sources.
"Clinics for protection against ty-
phoid are held regularly in many of
the counties. Your family doctor or
your health officers will make the
necessary arrangements for you.'

Young of Some Animals
Weigh Little When Born

1t is claimed that new born opos-
sums weigh about four grains as
compared with the mothers weight
of ten pounds. The young are born
with well-developed forelegs that
enable them to crawl into the ma
ternal pouch Immediately after
birth, where they remain for some
time,
It is stated that the kangaroo per-
haps heads the list in this respect.
The mother, sometimes taller than
a man, gives birth to young that are
less than one inch long. Both the
oposum and kangaroo are the best
known members of pouched ami
mails, called marsupials.
The young of the common black
bear, that are born in Information,
weigh about ten ounces as compared
with the mothers weight of two
hundred pounds or more.
These three animals undoubtedly
produce the smallest young in COM
parison to the weight of the parents
of any wild animals.
Virginia white-tailed deer give
birth to fawns weighing about four
pounds while the mother tips the
scale at 100 to $50 pounds.

Scent Guides Lives Of
Creatures of the Wilds

The power of scent plays a vi
tai part in the lives of all creatures
of the wild. Through It they receive
advance notice, by way of the air
currents, of the presence OF enc
mics, are able to recognize their
kind and find mates. In fact, al
most every moment Of their exist
ence is influenced by the sense OF
smell, and the distance over which
they are able to pick UP scent is
truly astonishing. Thus to the weak
er fraternity the air often carries
terrorizing news, while to the strong
it watts a gratifying message OF a
meal in prospect, according to Mack
B. Stielau, secretary Detroit Izaak
Walton league, in the Detroit News.
The very young of most species
do not emit scent, but whether
this is due to immaturity, or wise
provision of nature to protect her
helpless children, we do not know.
All kindred of the wild, however,
instinctively recognize the scent of
their natural enemies, and either
hide or hasten to get as far away
from it as possible. Even while at
play, time is taken out by the young
to sniff the air for alien odors. This
same trait may also be observed by
some domestic animals.
In the insect world, smell also
plays an important part and we
find that the sentinel bees are able
to detect and keep foreign" kin
from entering the hive. 1t guides
the butterfly and the moth to the
female, and it is said that in the
pursuit they are able to discover
the last spot on which she rested.
Through this sense the lowly ticks
which attach themselves to some
animals are able to pick suitable
host on which to satisfy their un-
quenchable thirst for blood.

A plan is before Congress for a
Government radio station for broad
casting to South America.
Private broadcasting officials came
to tell Congress that the proposals to
put the Government in control of
radio initiated the Nazi philosophy of
promoting single-track thinking.
Apparently U. S. high officials
seek to shut out anti-ism radio of the
European kind and pump pure U. s.

Search by Smell

Some authorities assert that rep
tiles employ the sense of smell to
locate their kind, especially at the
approach of the alternating season.
Observations on nevis and allied
creatures have shown that they nose
about in manner which strongly
indicates search by smell. Perhaps
the greatest crackers among the
smaller animals are members of the
cat and weasel families. A mink
can follow the trail of rabbit even
after it is an hour old and will te-
naciously stick to it until the prey
is finally run down.
