Traps. From Australian Alps,
Like American Picnics

Having the time of their lives.
the Trap Family Singers, Tyro-
lean entertainers. are on the way
TO Tacoma to open the 1904
concert season for the Ladies
Musical club. They win be at the
First Baptist church next Monday
night, Oct rs, at SIS.
AS the story comes to Tacoma.
they are an unusual family, these
Traps. They are all authentic
barons and harnesses under an
old Hapsburg title. but their ambi-
ton right now is to become Amer
lean citizens.
Not because they have any pre-
JUDGES but because they do not
think 1t necessary, there is not a
permanent wave nor a red polish
ed nail among the lot.
They are all expert sailors. They
hope some day to buy a schooner
and sail on a concert tour to the
South Seas. In the meantime they
travel in motorized prairie
schooner.
AS they have gone rowing
about the country they have
concluded that the greatest
contribution TO modern well
fare Is the American picnic.
They never miss an opportun-
ity for a picnic.
The family includes the wife,
two sons and five daughters of
Baron Georg Won Trap, former
american underseas navigator.

Rose From Farm Youth.
Kallio, born of humble peasant
parentage, rose from a farm youth
to be the fourth President of
Suomi, the Finnish Republic.
Always a member of the Agrarian
party, it was largely through his
untiring efforts on behalf of his
fellow farmers that he climbed
through the political ranks to cab
met member. Prime Minister and
finally the presidency.
He was especially grateful to
American relief and sympathy dur
ing the dark days of the war. He
was a friend of former President
Herbert Hoover of the United States
and was keenly appreciative of the
efforts made by him to aid the
Finnish people.
His greatest interest was centered
on his program for the farmers
who were given new homes to re-
place those wrecked in the war and
in aiding in the cultivation of new
broken soil
He was born April 10. 1873, in the
| village of Niemela, near the eastern
coast of Bothnia His father op-
Grated small farm. He attended
school at Oulu (Uleaborg) under
the care of his aunt But school
work irked him and he went back
to his fathers farm, doing various
chores
Elected to Parliament in 1904, he
fought successfully against an act
of conscription, decreed by the Gar
ist Russian government and strongly
advocated the right to vote for wom-
en-. This right was granted in 1906.
Outspoken in his views agains old
Russia's efforts by force to carry
out the conscription, he frequently
was in trouble with the Cars ad-
ministrators
He was active in l906-07 in further
ing parliamentary reform which the
Car was compelled to grant because
Russia was weakened after its un-
successful war with Japan
