week clerk to become founder of a
drug store empire, died last night.

i'll several months.

took him four years to pay the debt.

chain of nearly 500 stores in 80
States, with an annual business of
$50, 100000.

relinquish the presidency of the

another career. He became an ap-
prentice pharmacist. In 1893 he
came to Chicago with $40 in his
pockets and went to work as an $18-
a-week clerk. studying pharmacy at

was exposed to Communist teach
ings. But two years later she re-
sumed her studies and Mr.. Walgreen

Frank J. Mackenzie,
Expert in Diorama,
Dies on West Coast
Maintained Studios
Here Until 1888,
Then in California

A British soldier who came to the
United States in 1904 to design the
Boer. War exhibit for the St. Louis
Worlds Fair and later chose WASH
ington as the city from which to
develop his art-diorama making
died yesterday in San Francisco.
He was Frank j. Mackenzie, rs,
who until May, 1898, had main
tained studios at 1917 H street NV.
Friends here learned only that Mr..
Mackenzie had died suddenly. They
said he had gone to California seek
ing new fields for his art.
Born in London, Mr.. Mackenzie
was graduated from the Royal Acad-
emy School there, being awarded
the Turner Gold Medal and travel
ing fellowship. After studying in
Paris for time he went to South
Africa. While he was there the Boer
War broke out and Mr.. Mackenzie
enlisted in the British Army.
After an enthusiastic reception for
his work at the ST. Louis Fair, Mr..
Mackenzie was engaged to do work
on African natural habitat groups in
various American museums and at
the Sesquicentennial in Philadel-
phia, Pa, and the Century of Prog
ress Exposition in Chicago, ILL.,
He came to Washington some IL
years ago to interest the Federal
Government in his work. The De-
partment of Agriculture found In
Mr.. Mackenzie's dioramas a means
of encouraging conservation activity.
While in this city he concentrated
on miniature dioramas.
Frequently interviewed on his
seemingly unique work, Mr.. Mac
kenzie once said building diorama
was something like playing three
musical instruments at once. He ex-
planned that the artist must paint,
model and arrange taxidermic and
technical exhibits in the foreground,
because the diorama has a three e-di-
mensional foreground and curved
background Of two dimensions.
THE trick" he said, lis to unity
the foreground and the background,
to make people stand in front of
the exhibit and argue about where
solid objects end and painting be-
gins; to confuse the human eye into
thinking it looks out over valleys
and mountains"

VOLCANO SP|TS
SMOKE, ASHES
Minor Quakes Accom-
pany Eruption on
Alaska Peninsula

JUNEAU, Alaska-The Alaskan
peninsula, called because OF its
volcanoes, THE Firecracker of the
World" was undergoing its first
major eruption since 1881 today
with s400-foot Mount Veniamin
spouting hot ashes over nearby
native settlements.
Minor earthquakes throughout
the peninsula accompanied the vol
canic outbreak.
The tiny settlement of Chignik
reported that ashes had reached
depth of two feet and that the air
was so filled that it was like twi-
light through most Of the long near
summer day.
The last eruption from among
the score Of active craters stretch
ing for 500 miles down the back
bone of the peninsula was that OF
Mt. Aniachak eight years ago. 1t
erupted for 81 days, rained fine
layer of pumice over hundreds OF
miles and shot flames hundreds of
feet into the air.
Greatest eruption in recent times
of the Alaskan volcanoes was that
of Mt. Katmai on June 6, 1912,
when vegetation and animals in a
radius of 100 miles were killed. It
was estimated at that time that
five cubic miles of rock, lava and
ash had been blasted into the air.
Visibility was cut to five feet in
settlements $50 miles from the
crater.

ObSERVAT0RYIN
CITY POSSIBLE

When, in the near future, a
planetarium or astronomical OBJ
servatory is established in the
Northwest, the chances are very
much in favor of it being located
in Tacoma, according to Harry J.
Johnson, astronomer, who gave an
illustrated lecture at Jones hall,
College of Puget Sound. Monday
night.
Back in the east, mention the
name of Tacoma in group of
astronomers and some one is sure
to say, Tacoma Isn't that the
place where there is such an active
amateur astronomical society,"
Largely because of the activities
of the Tacoma astronomers, when
a planetarium is established in the
Northwest, l am betting on its
location in Tacoma"
To Prof. Hanawalt
The occasion was dedicated to
the memory of the late Prof. F. w.
Hanawalt. for 25 years teacher of
science at the college. Prof. Hama
walt was instrumental in organiz-
ing the Tacoma Amateur Astrono-
mical society. He supervised it's
early activities and gave generous
ly of his time to those who were
interested in astronomical study.
Preceding the lecture, President
E. II. Todd paid tribute to Prof.
Hanawalt as an educator and for
his loyalty to the college and his
friendly and helpful character.
The lecturer, assisted by Mrs.
Johnson, devoted most of the hour
and half to a description of the
moon and its relation to the earth.
Particularly interesting was his
description of the craters and
canyons on the side of the moon
visible from the earth.
"Man in Moon"
In the course of his lecture Mr..
Johnson exploded the popular
theory concerning the man in the
moon. AS his flashlight picked out
series of craters and cloudy
streaks on a picture of the moon
thrown on the screen, the figure
that appeared was not the face of
a man but, believe it or not. the
placid countenance of Ferdinand,
the bull,
