Mount Rainier National Park was
established by Act of Congress and
approved by President Mckinley,
March 2, 1899. BY a subsequent act,
January 81, 1881, the eastern park
boundary was extended to the sum-
init of the Cascade Range, the
boundary recommended by the ORR
ginal bill. Including the 53.1 miles
added at that time, the park now
contains 377.78 square miles or 24l,-
1872 acres.
Mount Rainier is unique in the
height to which it rises above the
surrounding country. From Tacoma
or Seattle, at sea level, the noun
tain appears to rise directly from
Puget Sound. It does actually rise
1000 feet above its immediate base.
This is in direct contrast to the
other mountains in the United
States which rise higher than 14,00c
feet. 1t is particularly true in con-
trast to the Colorado peaks which
are hardly distinguishable from the
main ranges of the Rockies, where
the mountain passes reach to
height of $4,000 feet.
Mount Rainier has more glaciers
(2S) than any other peak in the
continental United States. The gla-
cial system comprises an area OF
more than 40 square miles.

France Supports Nazis

Vichy, France-French economists
have just discovered that their peo-

of occupation through neat bit of
financing. Nazi soldiers pay for
their purchases in practically worth
less marks, which the Bank of
France buys only to turn them back
to Germany for credit at ruinous
rate of exchange. The French shop
keeper or farmer receives nothing
for his products, while the Nazi in
vader lives off the fat of the land.

Stock Averages
60-St0ck Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, July 31.-Irregular
price movements among various
leaders blocked rising tendencies
in the stock market today.
Gains and losses were fairly
evenly balanced at the close. Trad
ing was limited to about $4,000
shares.
Commentators expressed the opin-
ion that operators were awaiting
large-scale operations in the battle
of England and, in the meantime,
would be content to follow technical
lines in their commitments. The
public failed to respond to the pre-
vious sessions rallying signals. 4
The upward impetus of overnight
buying orders quickly faded as to-
days session progressed, with steels
on the downward side throughout
the day. A series of small rallies
failed to overcome steels' general
heaVlneSS.
Aircrafts received something of a
lift when the House Appropriations
Committee recommended repeal Of
the profit restrictions on Army and
Navy airplanes.
On the minus side were U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem Steel. General Mo-
tors, Sears-Roebuck, Phelps DJdge,
Santa Fe, Chesapeake & Ohio and
Texas Corp. More resistant were
United Aircraft, Eastman. Du Pont,
Westinghouse, American Telephone,
International Paper and Allied
