having g been created in 1908. Here
is small but fine grove of Cali
fornia redwood trees nesting in a
deep ravine on the slopes Of Mount
Tamalpais. The monument was
named in honor of John Muir, the
famous naturalist, who did much to
arouse public sentiment for protec-
ton Of the redwoods and sequoias.
AMONG THE BETTER known
national monuments, primarily OF
scientific interest, are the Petrifed
Forest on U. S. Highway 66 in east
ern Arizona, the White Sands in
south central New Mexico, Jack
son Hole in Wyoming, adjoining
Grand Teton National park, and the
Badlands in South Dakota east Of
the Black Hills. Less well known,
but accessible by highway are the
Joshua Tree national monument in
southern California, the Organ Pipe
Cactus and Saguaro national monu-
ments in Arizona. These three areas
all contain unusual exhibits of des-
ert type flora.
Capulin mountain in New
Mexico, Craters of the Moon in
Idaho, the DEVILS POstpile and
Pinnacles in California, Sunset
Crater in Arizona and Wheeler
in Colorado are all national
monuments illustrating various
forms of volcanic action.
Capulin mountain is particular
ly fine example of an extinct vol
cano, and the highway spirals
around the mountain from the base
to the rim of the crater. From
the summit on clear day one has
a view extending into four states.
PERSONS INTERESTED in cav
erns will find the following group Of
national monuments of interest:
Jewel Cave in South Dakota, Leh-
man Caves in Nevada, Oregon
Caves near Crater Lake National
park in Oregon and Timpanogos
Cave in Utah. Shoshone Caverns
national monument in Wyoming is
not yet developed and is not open to
the public.
Students of extinct forms of ami
NAL and plant life will profit from
a visit to Dinosaur national monu-
ment in Colorado and Fossil Cycad
national monument in South Da-
kota.
PERHAPS THE MOST interest
ing and unusual of all national mon
uments is a group in southern Utah
near the Arizona border, which in
cludes the Arches, the Natural
Bridges and the Rainbow bridge
national monuments. All three
areas are relatively inaccessible.
A road does extend fairly close to
the first of the natural bridges, but
from there on the traveller must pro-
ceed on foot or horseback. To reach
the Rainbow bridge the visitor must
make two-day trip by horse.
With an automobile with over
sized tires it is possible to pene-
trate the Windows section of Arches
national monument, but to the Dew
IFS Garden one must go on foot
or horse. The story told in these
three national monuments is one of
erosion by wind and water.
Other national> monuments which
also tell the story of erosion are:
Cedar Breaks, Zion and Capital
Reef in Utah, Grand Canyon and
Chiricahua in Arizona, the Black
Canyon of the Gunnison and Colo
RADIO in the state of Colorado.

''I'n give you a ring" Doris said.
"You must come up to dinner some
night when i haven't company and
tell me all about your romance. I'll
be seeing you"
Nan walked the two familiar
blocks to the familiar building but
she did not go up to the office where
she worked. She took the elevator
to the floor below it and stepped out
into the spacious reception room OF
the J. B. Simpson company. She
walked past the deserted informa-
tion desk toward the private offices
and tapped lightly on one of the
doors with the tips of her gloved
fingers. A mans voice called,
Come in!" She went in.
The man got up from behind a
big desk and came to meet her. He
was tall and becomingly gray
haired. There were laughter wrin-
kles around his keen eyes.
You're late, Man," he said.
She put her arms around his
shoulders and lifted her face for his
kiss. ''I've been with Mrs. Jen-
kins.''
"Who in seventeen kingdoms is
Mrs. Jenkins?"
''You know. The girl I used to live
with. The one that married Ralph
Jenkins"
"Oh!" he said.
''How is Ralph Jenkins, by the
way?"
'He was a good man until that
designing cat got hold of him." the
man said. Nov he has alimony to

this and that and he'll be lucky if
he manages to keep his job. I
hope you're not seeing much Of
her. You're not her kind. thank

''Oh, she's all right" Nan said
tolerantly. "She did us one good
turn, anyway. You know you al
ways say you fell in love with me
that night you came up to the apart
ment because I kept quiet the en-
tire evening""
MY little mouse!" he said
fondly.
Nan WINGED.
''But you won't have much
chance to see her after we're mar
ried anyway. When we come back
from abroad we'll be at the country
house most of the time. Unless she
comes out there. :"
Nan smiled. "You needn't worry,

she said with quiet certainty.

Bundles Mary" because she prowled the
streets for years carrying bundles OF bread
SCRAPS, Years earlier, her father, brother
and two sisters had died in quick succession
She was obsessed by the idea they had been
poisoned and that she was next on some
murderer's list. Her milk-bottle tops came
from the great quantities of Grade A milk
which was her principal fare thereafter.
The misers of literature, like Silas Mariner
and Scrooge, usually reform. DR.. Parsons
says real misers rarely mend their ways and
that their characters are far more compil-
Gated than the books would have US believe.
Indeed, their very inconsistencies may be
substitutes for reform.
John Elves, notorious English tightwad
of the 18th century, always Travelled with
hard-boiled egg in his pocket so that ne
wouldn't have to buy meals. Despite his
wealth, he would 60 far out of his way to
avoid tollgate. On the other hand, he
could be generous with his tavern COM
panions, buying big meals for them
while he gnawed on his egg.
And 10 years ago an actor whom Broad
way had stunned for years because OF his
stinginess died leaving many thousands OF
dollars with the stipulation that the money
be used to buy shoes for penniless actors.
He explained that this would help them
maintain their self-respect while looking
for jobs"
The English are generally accused of pro-
ducing the worlds biggest and worst misers.
DR.. Parsons says this is because the English
are about the only people who have investi-
gated and described their misers. Other
countries, including the United States, have
their share.
Hetty Had Talent
HE most famous American miser, and
certainly the most ambitious female miser
of all time, was Hetty Green. John T. Flynn,
one of her biographers, wrote in his book
Men of Wealth." that some people have a
specific talent for accumulating money and
are happy only when they exercise it. This
might we'll explain Hetty's miserliness.
But there were other considerations
When an aunt died and left Hetty only {
million dollars of much larger fortune
she thought she was being gulled. She con
tested the will, lost her case and became
violently resentful of all lawyers. She hat
learned finance in her teens while reading
market reports for her father. Now sh

gains ruined opponents, grew steadily
richer - and chose to live in miserable
Hoboken, NJ J., fiat.
She chiseled on taxes and never tipped
waiter. She dressed in shabby black gown,
never went out socially, dropped her friends.
When her husband, sociable, easygoing
broker, got caught in the market she paid
his debts, but gave him so little for support
that he had to move from his club to her
place in Hoboken. Hetty died in 1916,
having parlayed her inheritance into for
tune of more than $lOO,OO 600, all of which
she left to her son and daughter.
A Mus;c-Loving Tightwad
ANOTHER American 1niser of stature was
lanes Henry Paine, grandson of one OF the
signers of the Declaration of independence.
Paine began his career as financial writer
for Boston newspaper. Before long. he dis
covered that he could manipulate stock
values by what he wrote in his column. He
began buying and selling - it could hardly
be called specializing under the circum-
stances - and made killing before he was
discovered and run out of town.
Paine loved his money and he also loved
music. He came to New York and circu-
lated among musicians, composers and crit
ics. He pretended poverty, lived in a rot
ting. boarded-up house on Bleecker Street,
and got by on the generosity of his ac-
quaintances. One day he visited the Office
of his best friend. a piano manufacturer,
presented him with bundle wrapped in
dirty green handkerchief and asked him to
keep it in his safe.
The friend kept the bundle for II years.
When it was opened after Paine.s death, out
spilled $3.50, 600 in greenbacks. There was a
wild legal scramble for it, with court
battle that lasted from 1885 to 1887 and
stirred up more popular interest than the
Collyer case. The fortune was finally dis
tributed among few close relatives whom
Paine had despised.
While collecting material on the Paine
affair, DR.. Parsons studied the 1,l38-page
record of the courtroom contest, a document
to which he was always guided by ar
elderly employee in New York's Hall o
Records As DIR. Parsons took his notes
he noticed the old man prowling cease
lessly among other papers.

Parsons asked him what he was doing

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
A Point Of. Usage.
(Scranbook Ttem.)

MILWAUKEE English
teacher has told us that the word
raise is never correct as noun, as
in "s give the teachers . raise"
Most Of us do not agree. What u
your opinion?-English Glass.
Answer.-I feel that what your
teacher meant to say Is that raise
as a noun Is colloquial, and should
not be used in formal speech or
writing.
Most dictionaries list raise tan
increase In salary - ooloquial.
But 1t has become 50 wen estab-
lished that we must admit It to
good usage.
Grammarians have objected 10
such constructions rs give tho
teachers q raise" on the ground
that raise Is q transittve verb and
must take an object, i.e., one must
raise neutrality-suspicious., cattle,
flags, Cain, the roof. They argue
that one may properly raise salary,
or raise (increase) wages. But the
increase, they state, should be called
"rise," as "give the teachers .
rise" ...a
Rise. In that sense, is heard In
British usage; but 1t seldom II ever
is heard In America.
Now the more conservative among
my readers may already be reaching
for pen and paper to protest my
willingness to cheaper and corrupt
our mother tongue" But must
remind them that rules OF language
are not made or unmade by collm-
nists, grammarians, professors. or
dictionaries. Their function Is to
report, and not to dictate what
shall or shall not be said.
Webster's New International Die
tionary, Second Edition, does not
list the noun raise (an increase in
salary or wages as colloquialisnl.
The noun is given complete sane
ton as good American usage. In
deed, Webster's quotes thus from the
works of Christopher Morley In
giving an example of the proper use
of raise rs a noun: "He offered to
give Full q raise, but the butler was
still determined to leave" tSee raise,
noun, page 2056) Thorndike's Cen-
tury also accepts the noun raise as
correct.
And why nota II the nation % .
whole finds the noun raise An &C.
ceptable and convenient word, It's
elevation to correct usage could not
be stopped by all the grammarians
In Christendom.
The American language u like
that.
