CAPITOL
.--WeWC
BY CONGRESSMAN Knutson
Finland

There are events on a trip such
as we made to Scandinavia in Au-
gust that will always stand out in
our memory. To me one of the cut
standing events of that journey
was the trip from Stockholm to
Abo, Finland. We left the capital
city of Sweden late in the after
noon of August %, on a Finnish
steamer. Shortly after our depart
ure we entered a group of islands
that continued on almost to Abo.
The scenery reminded me very
much of the Canadian portion of
Lake CT the Woods, islands on all
sides, rising out of the water to
varying heights. They are of gran
lite and covered with pine. For
some distance out of Stockholm
many of these islands are occupied
with summer homes. The whole en-
chanting picture was illumined by
a full moon that was as clear as
crystal.
We landed in Abo the following
morning. had expected to find a
small village of perhaps several
thousand inhabitants. Instead,
found Abo to be a modern city of
eighty thousand. 1t is highly in
dustrialized and among other con-
veniences they have an excellent
streetcar system. Women are en-
ployed as conductors because Of
the acute shortage of labor.
We did not tarry long in Abo
as were anxious to get to Helsinki
(Helsingfors) the capital. We ar
rived there at noon and were met
by the secretary of the American
legation. After lunch we were TAX
en- on a sightseeing tour, and
again met with a number of sur
prises. Helsinki is in every way a
modern city and whoever laid it
out understood his business. The
streets are wide and well kept. The
buildings are comparable to the
best anywhere.
Perhaps the parliament building
and the art gallery are the two
outstanding features of Finland's
capital. In my time I have visited
a number OF art galleries, both here
and abroad, and while there are
many that contain larger and more
valuable collections I have yet to
see one that surpasses the Helsin-
XII Gallery in quality. Unfortunate
ly, I have mislaid the notes made
during my all too brief stay in Fin
land Sc cannot give the name OF
one artist whose work is as fine as
anything to be found in Europe OF
America. His paintings look as
though they are about to- speak
The gallery also contains some fine
sculture work. The Parliament
building was built a few years ago
and is the last word in beauty and
acoustics. It cost million dollars
and would say the Finnish people
got value received The chamber,
where the Finnish Parliament
meets, is circular. I would say it is
about 125 feet in diameter. The
voting is done with an electric vot-
ing machine, each desk being
equipped with push buttons. AS ]
recall, the PROCESS of the vote does
not show on the tallyboard until
the voting has been completed. In
this way no member Is influenced
by the tide OF battle in casting his

bomb shelters have been provided

bomb shelters have been provided
in case Of attack.
1t is not to be wondered at that
America, the new land across the
seas, should prove a magnet to
those who had participated in The
Hundred Years War, the Thirty
Years War, The Seven Years War,
and the Napolecnic Wars. It was to
get away from such things that
they came to America. We must
make 1t our first business to see we
do not follow in the footsteps Of
war-torn Europe, otherwise we may
find ourselves involved in every flu
ture war that breaks out on that
war-torn continent. This is a good
time for Americans to stay at
home and solve their cwn prob
lens. The good Lord knows we
have enough of them.

Curling Your Hair
For the first two years Edgar ran
a freight line from Flowing Wells
into Mexico, and the stories he
tells of freighting with mules across
the desert are guaranteed to curl
hair.
I picked up IA skeletons during
those TWO years. he recalled. Two
OF them lived. The rest were lust
skeletons They had died of thirst.
We used to run into the dad
blamedeSt sand storms you ever
saw They made the Sahara look
like a Hollywood imitation. Lots OF
times We had to tie up the mules
and make dry camp when the
sand was flying SO thick couldn't
even see the leader"
Edgar's first trip across the des-
ert came close to being his last. and
would have been. except for George
Chaffee. With wagons overloaded
and unfit mules Edgar had started
out from Flowing Wells on his
freight haul.
Path Across Desert
BY the time I got where I was
going I only had a fourth of the
stuff I started out with The rest
was strewn over the desert where
I'd had to tighten the wagons,
he said. When I saw George Chat
fee he told me 10 get my outfit

him he could go do it himself be-
cause. doggone it, I was through =
Chaffee managed to talk him out
of il and Edgar refitted and took
to the trail again.
"AmusementS? Say. the only
amusement we had was gambling
with ourselves on whether or not
! we'd live TO get across the desert
again. Never did much at night
except go to sleep. The proper pro-
cedure was to roll up tight in your

When you woke up in the morn

tobacco and then you filled a cup
and took a swallow. If you couldn t
taste the first you took another
swallow and so on until you could
taste it. Then, if you were an hon.
est man, you poured the rest back
into the jug.
Another Miracle
The drinking water was a mir
acle in itself in those days, Edgar
recalled.
Il remember one time a little
mincing man with a bow tie asked
me for a drink and l motioned
him to the water keg. He came
back and said:
Where are the sanitary drink
ing cups? Don't you know there are
a billion germs in those tin cups?'
II said: Only a billion? Then
I've been cheated! I thought there
was at least trillion. Now if you
want drink you go to take il.
but don't disturb any of my germs,
because I'm raising them and I've
got some that are nesting"
One remarkable story that Edgar
told-one which he prefaced with

when he was driving his mule team
across the desert with another man.
we saw what looked like NOV

detour out OF curiosity. Then We
found it was a man. He was walk

tongue lolling out and looking like
a mummy. He couldn't even see us.
we knew he was out of his head
so my partner got a rope ready
and l threw a blanket over his
head. 1t took us five minutes to tie
him up!
Couldn't give him any water,
you know. We just kept the blanket
soaked. When man has been
without water for long time his
skin gets as dry as blotter. We
finally tagged a train and put
him on it and that was the last
l saw of him until years later I
went to Los Angeles for an opera
