| the ground, past the great Meteor
Crater in Arizona, through the Nav
ajo Indian reservation with Navajo
blankets and Navajo silver and tur-
quoise jewelry, to the beautiful city
of Albuquerque in New Mexico.
Santa Fe, the old capitol of New
Mexico, proved fascinating with its
quaint Spanish, Mexican and In
dian atmosphere. From Santa Fe
the party continued north along the
Rio Grande to the valley of Taos,
famous in the early history Of the
west, and remembered as the home
of Kit Carson. On the way a stop
was made at the Santa Clara Indian
Pueblo village. These Indians are
perhaps the best pottery makers in
the northwest. The women and
children quickly displayed their
wares in the village plaza and it
was impossible to resist the desire
to purchase some of the distinctive
and beautiful ware, which is chiefly
red and black with symbolical dec
orations either painted on or cut
into the surface of the pottery.
Taos with it's large five story In
dian Pueblo was one Of the most ar
resting sights of the entire trip. The
Indian Pueblo is built tier on tier
like a modern apartment building.
Each succeeding story recedes from
the one below. The upper stories
are entered from the top by lad
ders. The whole structure is made
of adobe, sun dried mud, and logs.
Blanketed Indians everywhere give
this place picture card effect.
From Taos the way led eastward
over the Sangre De Christie Noun
tains to Ration, New Mexico, and
thence across the great plains
through eastern New Mexico and
the northern part of Oklahoma. In
Oklahoma large herds of cattle and
extensive oil fields were seen. The
Mississippi river was crossed i'm
mediately below Cairo, Illinois. The
route into Ohio was so selected that
the road would extend across the
blue grass region of Kentucky In
in the heart of the blue
grass a brief time was spent in view
ing the many old and historic struc-
lures in the city, including Transyl-
VdHld ConeSc, lHe HIS seat OI HlSH-
er learning west of the Appalachian
the home of General
John Hunt Morgan, and the home
Of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife Of
A Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. and Mrs. Appleman report
that the two weeks trip through the
west was memorable experience for
them and that it disclosed types of
country and scenery that it would
be hard to imagine in existence un-
less seen. Although still loyal 70
Ohio they say they would like to see
more of the west.

power to reelase "lifers" after
serving 10 years will be introduced
tonight by Senator Leonard j. Pat

Under its terms. the only con-

Sometimes young men are
given life sentences by judges

under our method of operation,
we seldom ask for a cOmmuta-
