them are the young American

None the less, Trieste poses
an interesting and meaningful
problem. 1t is a problem for
the reason so succinctly given
in State Department planner
George Kennan's admirable
"Mr. x" article on Soviet
American relations. It proves,
with finality, that there is nc
use making agreements OF
seeking agreements with the
Soviets at the present Juncture
With agonizing difficulty, an
agreement about Trieste was
reached with the Soviets last
year. The agreement was that
Trieste should be free terri
tory, with an impartial and in,
dependent governor approved
by both sides. What has hap
pened since? 1t has proved i'm
possible to appoint a governor,
because the Soviets would ac,

been transformed into a part o1

heads that stick up. The usual
terror has given the Communist
party the usual firm grip on
the area.

AS an example of inconsist

others, the pages Of history
would show nothing to surpass
the record of the Soviet govern
ment in 1947. 1t is doubtful that
even anything in the records o1
Germany under Hitler or Italy
under Mussolini would be found
to equal the Soviet policy,
For many weeks and months,
and even during most of the last
two years, the Russian press
and radio and official spokes-
men like Vishinsky and Gro
myko have been waging a
"persistent unrestrained attack
on the United States" and thus
encouraging war, as DR.. Her
bert V. Evatt of Australia
told the political committee of
the United Nations.
But, according to the Soviet
spokesmen, that was not war
mongering. There are no "war-
mongers" in Russia. They are
all in the United States and Bri-
tain.
In a TRADE of more than an
hour on Wednesday, ViI1insky

clarity Of political and strategic
outline is a downright relief.
Any report on Trieste, how
ever brief, would be incomplete
if it did not begin by giving

name to a check for three thousand
dollars.
It wasn't forgery because she felt
she could explain everything to
Slater when he returned from Eu-
rope. There couldn't be anything
wrong about what she was doing.
When she received David's letter
telling her she was the grandest
mother in the world for buying him
the most beautiful car in the world
she choked up with emotion. She de-
cided to go quietly to Milldale to
await the return of Thomas Slater.
He would understand.
Grace Leland was looking out of
the window, absently musing over
the boy and the car. Ace Hawkins
and Sam McQuade stood on the
sidewalk. A man walked up the
front stoop of the little white house
and tried the door. 1t was open and
he walked in.
CRACE opened the inner door and
" saw the man in the hall. She
thought it strange he did not re-
move his hat. 'Are you Grace Le-
land?" he asked abruptly.
why, yes" she answered not
quite prepared for the interroga-
tion.
well, here's my badge" he said,
pulling aside his outer coat. "I'm
from headquarters. You forged the
name of Thomas Slater to a check
for three thousand dollars and
cashed it at the Textile Bank and
Trust Company. I'm afraid you'll
have to come along with me-"
Grace'S face went white. It could
not possibly be as serious as all
that. The man just didn't know what
he was talking about. 'This is a
terrible mistake she almost
screamed. II had to sign Mister
SlaSer's name to the check. There
was nothing else to do. He will
straighten it all out when he re-
turns from Europe. He has often

ing, the Weeping Rock and finally
the Temple Of Sinawa.
This mystical amphitheater is
completely surrounded by stone
rock walls. The level floor is green
with trees and in early summer
bright with blossoms. In the center
of the circle stand two large stone
pillars. The larger one is called
the altar and the smaller one is
known as the pulpit. The visitor
instinctively listens for the sermon
and waits for the sacrifice. The ear
ly pioneers, deeply religious Nor
mons, were so impressed by the
solemnity of the scene that they
named the canyon Little Zion"
THESE THREE national parks
are readily accessible by paved
highways, but the roads on the north
side of Grand canyon are closed by
snow from October Is to May Is.
Accommodations of all types, in
Guiding hotels, lodges, cabin camps
and cafeterias, are found on the
south rimsof Grand canyon. Lodges
and cabin camps also are available
at the north rim and in both Zion
and Bryce. Free campsites for
motorists bringing their own equip
ment are maintained in all of the
parks by National Park service.
Excellent paved highways within
the parks make it possible for all
travellers, without physical exertion,
to see many Of the principal won-
ders of each park. For harder per-
sons, there are miles of foot trails,
and the adventurously inclined may
explore more distantly on horse
back. It is possible to cross on
foot, by mule or horse from the
south rim to the north rim Of Grand
canyon, but this trip and all trips
down into the canyon should be TAX
en- only by persons in excellent phys
ical condition.
In each park, ranger-naturalists
give frequent talks, and in the eve
nings they conduct entertaining pro-
grams around the campfires.

must keep giving until she made up
for the one thing that was lacking.
She found herself more and more
noticing automobiles on the street.
Some were well-proportioned. Some
were clumsy. Some drivers steered
easily and naturally. Others drove
as though they were the lineal de-
scendants Of the fool Icarus who
scorched the abOrigines Of Africa
with his celestial juggernaut. David

David.
She looked in a large display win
dow on Broadway and saw the car.
A long, ight-blue sedan with the
smooth curving sides of yacht and
tan collapsible top all fresh and
youthful and clean like David. But
the price was three thousand
dollars!
There was only one person to
whom Grace Leland could go for
three thousand dollars. Thomas
Slater had been her friend since the
days when no massage was re-
quired to smooth out the puffy little
bags under her eyes. She called up
Thomas Slater's office and was teld
he had gone to Europe.
Grace looked at her thin wrist
where once dangled wide diamond
bracelet. If only she had that brace
let now. She went around to the
display window on Broadway and
again looked at the long, sleek,
light-blue sedan with the collapsible
tan top. She saw David at the
wheel. She saw him driving places
where he could meet the fathers Of
his friends and feel the bracing con-
tact Of masculine arm around his
shoulder. Each time she went back
to look at that car she was. fearful
it might have been bought by an
other mother for another David. A

do.

Why Not Have More Things
Three persons called on me last
week, all with the same problem.
Two were women, the third a man.

Neither of the women could play
or sing. Neither could swim. The
older woman couldn't dance. The

To each I told the same story
the story of Alexander Graham Bell,
the man who developed the tele-
phone. Mr.. Bell called one day on
his friend Joseph Henry, secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington. His purpose was to
lament the fact that he was being
held back in his work by a lack of
knowledge of electricity.
With two words Mr.. Henry dis
posed of that lament and put Alex

his great renown and riches, for he

National Parks
Fifth
In a Series

600 acres and Bryce Canyon Nation
al park, also in Utah, is the smallest
with SO, 900 acres. In 1916 more than
BE, 900 people visited these parks.
Grand canyon is 297 miles In
length. a mile deep and in some
places 18 miles wide. Mighty noun
tains, rising thousands of feet from
the depths of the gorge, are dwarfed
by the enormous proportions Of this
titanic trough. From the rim OF
the canyon the visitor may look
down on the SUBMITS of these noun
tains. Wave on wave they reach
to the horizon, garnet, purple, topaz,
like a stormy sea on fire. And a
thousand feet down real storm
clouds may lash these mountains,
lightning may sparkle and thunder
may reverberate from wall to wall,
while above the sun shines in a
cloudless sky.
BRYCE CANYON presents
sharp contrast to Grand canyon.
Here the visitor enters a fairyland
of pink, white, red and lemon yel-
low, land of minarets and towers.
a land of castles and cathedral
domes, a dreamland Of COLLINS and
grotesque shapes. There are 80
miles Of pink cliffs carved and sculp-
tured.
The main amphitheater, three
miles long and about two miles
wide, is crammed with fantastic fg-
ures and kaleidoscope color. Trails
lead to such places as Sunrise
Point, Fairy Castle, Queens Garden,
Peek-a-boo Canyon, and Silent City.
AGAIN IN SHARP contrast, Zion
canyon is like a vast cathedral. The
dome of heaven seems to rest on
its sheer stone walls. Considered by
many people the most satisfying OF
all national parks, Zion, by the
splendor Of its scene, invariably
commands silence from all who en-
ter. Approaching by Mount Car
mel highway, the first view is from
the wall of the canyon through win
dows in the highway tunnel. From
the south the visitor enters along
the course of Virgin river passing
between the huge rock masses called
the East and the West Temples.
Once inside these gates, the
traveller stands in a level valley
enclosed by almost perpendicu-
lar walls which rise more than
half a mile above him. Side
canyons cut these walls into tre-
mendOus blocks, which rise
from a blood red base, changing
to reddish brown and, two thirds
up, to cleaning white, tinted
with buffs, grays and reds.
AS the visitor proceeds along this
monumental valley he passes the
