House Bill AsksD. {.
Insurance Board

A bill to regulate insurance In the
District through a board OF three
District residents was introduced In
the House yesterday by Representa-
tive McMillen, Republican, of Il
linois. 1t was referred to the Dis
trict Committee, which already has
pending other measures for the
same purpose.
Mr.. McMillen said his measure
was introduced by request and had
been approved by the Risk Institute,
an organization of banking and
business organizations.
The board of three Washington
ians would be appointed by the
President, and would be paid $4,000
each per year. Rates would oe regu-
lated so as not to be excessive, and
to discriminate fairly among risks.
The rates would be required not
to endanger the solvency Of insur-
ers. Basic rates for types Of in
surance would be required to be
the same for all insurers.
Need for revamping the insurance
codes of the District and the States
arose after the Supreme Court had
rendered a decision holding that in
surance was Interstate Commerce
Emergency Act, passed by the 10th
Congress, stays enforcement of the
antitrust laws in the case until
January l, 1948.
District Commissioners here are
backing q bill which would leave
insurance regulation in the hands
Of city government here, free of
antitrust limitations, but with nu-
merous changes in details of present
regulations.

out the mountains of the West. The
most extensive and colorful dis
plays are found in the mountain
parks" which lie between the long
rivers Of ice and above the dense
forests which clothe the lower eleva-
tions of the park. The forests them
selves, virgin stands Of gigantic
Douglas fir, western red cedar and
western hemlock, are a distin-
guished feature, particularly at
tractive to eastern and midwest
ern visitors.
ALL THREE Of these parks are
almost as popular during the win
ter as in summer. All Of them have
very heavy snowfall and all have
open slopes that offer the skier every
variety Of skiing experience, which
extends into late spring and even
early summer. Roads are kept open
in each park to permit winter sports
enthusiasts to reach them, although
the expense Of plowing out the roads
after every snowstorm is. rather high.
IN LASSEN Volcanic National
park there are public accommoda-
tions near Manzanita lake, close to
the northwest entrance of the park.
At Crater lake, similar accommoda-
tions are situated within a short
distance of the rim. At Mount Rain
ier they are found at Longmire,
about 2,750 feet above sea level; at
Paradise valley, 5,557 feet elevation,
and at Ohanapecosh hot springs in
the southeast corner of the park.
Public campgrounds, for which no
fee is charged, are to be found at a
number of points in each of these
parks.
AS in most of the other national
parks, National Park service pro-
vides staffs of ranger-naturalists

gain a better understanding Of the
plant and animal life Of the parks

In a Series

ued until February, 1921. Most
spectacular in the seven-year-long
series were the 1915 eruptions, which
were accompanied by extensive
flows of hot lava. These created
the devastated area" which still
ranks as one of the parks points
of principal interest to tourists.
The great cone of Lassen peak
rises 10,543 feet above sea level. AS
in the devastated area" the Gin

Underground fires have been ac-

and they have exerted their power
In a variety of ways. This is sug-
gested by Bumpas He'll, a colorful

phur works, which lies within the

AT CRATER LAKE National park,
IN southern Oregon, on the crest of
The Cascade range, is presented the
spectacle of a lake of deepest blue
n the crater Of Mount Mazama, an
extinct volcano. Many geologists
i nave concluded that the basin occu-
pied by the lake, which has neither
!nlet or outlet, resulted from col
lapse Of the volcanic cone Of the an
cient peak.
The lake Is supplied with water by
rainfall and snowfall as well as by
snow which is blown into it from
the rim. Collapse Of the mountains

volcanic activity; Wizard island, a
symmetrical cinder cone, was
formed later and rises 78O feet above
surface of the lake. Covering an
area Of 20 square miles, Crater lake
b miles across; it has a shore line
Of 20 miles and the multi-colored
cliffs of the crater's rim rise 5g5 to
1000 feet above it. The park con-
tains 100, ,29O acres.
HIGHEST OF ALL volcanic peaks
Of the western United States is
Mount Rainier, IA, 408 seet in eleva-
ton, which is the central and domi-
nant feature of Mount Rainier Ma
Honal park. Although it has long
been dormant, steam still issues
from vents on its summit, and sew
eral hot springs are found nearby at
picturesquely named Ohanapecosh
hot springs.
From the lofty central cone
radiates the greatest single-peak
glacier system in the United
States, with rs active rivers of
ice. On of these, the Emmons,
which starts from the summit of

in length, the longest glacier
in the United States. Most of
them extend far below the tim
berline.

Hints for Better Cooking

Never wash berries until just be-
fore they are used. To keep the
juice in strawberries, wash the ber-
ries before removing hulls. The
best way to wash them is to float
them in a pan of water and lift
out gently. Repeat the process un-
til the water remains clear.
