ICELAND: LACKS ICE AND
RAILROADS
Carrying Ice to lcelunil will appear
to most pontons nlout us reasonable
ns currying wheat to the DnkottiB, cot
ton to Texas or beans to Uoston. Hut
according to press dispatches tho Ice
landers inndo an uppiml during tho
pust winter to Norway, the noaroMt
ISuroponli country, to ship them Ice In
order that they might save tlielr her
ring harvest from being spoiled by tho
pitld wvuthcr.
The land which has come down In
history as Jccland might with more
accuracy have been given n diametri
cally opposite title, and called "The
of Fire." The surface of no
Other country, perhaps, Is fio deeply
murked by the withering blasts that
well up from time to time; und In no
country of equal area arc' to bo found
so many volcanic peaks and vents.
Nearly fi.OOO square miles of the -lO.-000
of the country's area are covered
by lava Hows.
Iceland Is .approximately tho slzo of
Ohio and about 8,000 square miles
larger than Ireland. It Is only a short
distance off tho Europe.wurd coast of
Greenland, and Its northernmost enpe
Just touches the Arctic circle. From
there the midnight sun can bo seen.
In spite of Its position so near tho
North pole, Iceland, thanks to tho
Gulf stream, has n relatively mild win
ter climate. Itoykjavlk, the capital,
Is In the jsumo latitude ns Nome, Alas
ku, but )ms n Junuary tempcruturo
milder than that of Munich, Uermuny,
or Mlln'n, Ital-y.
Icelandic summers, however, nro
cool, duo to tho largo fields of ico
that float down from tho North, Gruln
cannot be grown satisfactorily, and nil
breadstuffs must be Imported.
Though Icelanders, faced by lmplac
nblu natural forces and conditions,
have been unnble to nchlovo any great
degree of physlcul development on
tlielr luvn-covercd, short-summered Is
land, they lmvo made notnblo advances
In less material Holds. A truly re
markable literary development sprang
up In this far northern Island In tho
twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a
full hundred years before the Ilenats
sapco began to mako Itself felt in
Bunuy , Italy.
In more recent times the Icelanders
have shown themselves to bo In ad
vance of many parts of tho world In
their soclnl and political Ideas. Worn
brr had full political privileges In Ice
land earlier probably than In any oth
er civilized country. At tho present
time part of tho Althing, the Icelandic
parliament, Is elected by proportional
representation. Votes for women Is
not tho only mark which feminism
has placed on tho life of Iceland. The
custom of women retaining their own
names when they marry Is moro gen
oral In Iceland, perhaps, thnn In any
other modern country.
Tho political status of Iceland Is In
Bomo ways peculiar. In offect It might
bo said to ho an autonomous stnto In
partnership with Denmark. It has no
army or navy and Is under no obli
gation to contribute either men or
money to tho Danish military forces.
Denmark recognizes tho country's per
manent neutrality. Furthermore, tho
present arrangement Is only tompor
nry, and after Decombor 81, 1010,
either of tho associated countries may
demand a revision of tho "Act of
Union" which now unites them.
ONLY UNITED STATES HAS
AL FRESCO INAUG
URATION If President Hurdlng hod been In
ducted Into tho chief ollleo In some
other republics on March 4, tho cere
monies would have varied from n slnv
pllclty oven greater than that ho In
suited upon, to an Investiture of nl
most regal splendor.
If he had followed tho customs long
observed hi France the ceremony
would have taken place In tho White
House. Instead of taking a formal
oath lie would have uttered a pledge
to consecrato himself to tho service
of tho .republic and he would have
ended by kissing tho retiring President
on both cheeks.
If he had been inndo President ac
cording to tho pructlco of tho Mexi
cans, he would have taken the oath
In tho hall of the house of represen
tatlves at midnight. After tho ndniln
Istrntton of tho oath ho would have
received tho embrace of bis predeecs
sor.
In Iirnzll after being sworn In, ho
would have bung ncross bis chest a
broad band of tho colors of tho conn
try, supporting a modnl tho inslgnln
of the presidency.
In Chile, following tho inking of tho
oath before u joint session of con
grens, ho would lmvo gone throng!
ptreets lined with soldiers at "present
arms." to n special To Deum service
in tho principal church of tho city
Immediately afterward ho would have
hold a reception, and would then have
paid a visit to the or-presldont.
If he had been Inducted Into tho
piecldencv of the war-torn and war-
tlitofltf nl'd republic of Poland, bo
would have gone to a "White House"
nt whoso doors wore stationed cav
alrymen with drawn sabers. When bo
went abroad he would bo preceded,
not by a trim policeman or an Argus
eyed secret service man, but by n her
ald who would demnnd that the popu
lace "uncover bofore the most noblo
President."
And If Mr. Harding, Instead of be
ing lnstullcd as chief executive of the
world's blgges,t republic, had been
seated as one of the heads of the
smallest republic, San Marino, ho
would have experienced tho most
elaborate procedure of all. Ho would
lmvo donned quaint medieval state
garments; would have marched
through the streets of the capital .pre-
coded by heralds and escorted by gorgeously-uniformed
soldiers ; would
have attended a preliminary church
service during which his predecessor
would sit on a canopied throne soon
to bo occupied by him) and finally,
would have had placed on his head a
headdress Indicative of his otllce.
In addition to differences In the ofll-
clol ceremonies by which the presi
dents of the world uro Inductod Into
ofllce, there are many variations In
the festivities and celebrations that
accompany these events. In some
cases tho accompanying observances
have become practically a part of tho
olllclal procedure. The newly Installed
French president nlmost Invurlubly
drives to tho Hotel do Vllle, the Paris
city hall, after taking ofllce, to attend
n luncheon and reception ns the. guest
of 'the president and members of the
municipal council. In Mexico, during
the evening preceding tho midnight in
duction into ofllce, the president-elect
usunlly attends ajmnquet given In bin
honor by the mayor of the City of
Mexico. There Is a public reception
at the presidential pataco the morning
after the Inauguration.
In Chile the Inauguration day Is
often closed by n special concert nt
tho municipal theator, and on tho fol
lowing evening the now president gives
a stuto banquet for diplomatic repre
sentatives, special envoys ntid high
olllclals of tho republic uud the prov
inces. The United States, although its cap
ital is in a moro rigorous cllmato than
those of many republics, Is alone In
having an "al fresco" inauguration.
THE WINNING OF THE CA
NADIAN WEST
Discovery of oil In northwest Can
ada towurd tho Arctic circle has In
creased the importance of tho western
Canadian provinces near the United
States border, which will bo tho door
way for tho new oil treasury.
Tho prairie provinces of Canada
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
wore not without their bids to famo
before this discovery. For exnmplo :
Hie last of tho wild buffalo herds
of America, survivors of tho millions
of animals which roamed tho plains
and woodlands' of tho continent, now
ranges through northwestern Alberta.
This province alone is estimated to
contain 15 per cent of the world's
known coal supply.
Tho myriad of wild ducks, geese,
and othor migratory fowl that fly
northward each spring are for tho
most part bound for tho northern
parts of the three pralrlo , provinces,
vhere thoy build their nests and rear
tholr young.
Tho thrno provinces nro naturally
considered at once, for among them
thoy cover all of Cnnudn which Is In
profess of being settled, wost of tho
older Great Lakes province of On
tario nud eust of tho Uocky moun
tains. This Is Cannda's "Wost," where
restless pioneer spirits from all lands
are carving out an empire as kindred
spirits a gencrntlon or so ago wrought
tho wilderness of tho Missouri valley
and the "great American desert" into
the rich states of today.
Tho Canadian pioneers hnvo advan
tages over thoso who won tho Amer
ican WMtt In that they havo bettor
railroad methods and equipment, tele
phones and wireless. But they havo
a relentless now enemy In tho bitter
cold of tho northorn regions of the
provinces. For though tho southern
portions are separated from tho Uulted
States by only an Inmglnary lino, nud
are similar to tho northern reaches of
Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon
tana, of which thoy are geographically
a part, to the north tho three provinces
swoop to within 500 miles of tho Arctic
circle.
Tho predominant part of tho popu
latloil nud development of the three
provinces Is in tholr southern halves.
In thin region Winnipeg, capital of
Manitoba, with Its population close to
1200,000, Is Cnhnda's Chicago of n gen
oration or so ngo; while Edmonton,
capital of Alberta, is tho St. Paul of
a slmllnr period. Tho northern por
Hon of tho provinces is n region
crossed by many rivers and dotted
with numhCrlusH hikes, a region dlvld
ed between woodlands and "muskegs,1
or swampy flats. There tho trappor
still reigns supreme and llfo Is prim
Itlvo.
WHEN DINOSAURS GAM
DOLED IN AMERICA
Spring In America, which Is herald
ed in this ago by the coming of tho
birds, the stirring of small animals
and the emergence from hibernation
und water lethargy of tho few largo
anlmnls tlmt civilization has left us,
was u vnstly different matter a few-
eons ago when America produced an
lmtils lurger than any now living hero.
An Idea of what thoso creatures Were
llko Is given hi the following comma
nlcatlon to the Nutlonul Geographic
society from narnum Drown:
"That, was so long ugo thnt nothing
remains of these creatures except
their bones, and they uro turned to
stone. Hidden nwuy under strata of
earth, tholr spoor has long since grown
cold.
"Tho animals are dinosaurs; for the
moment wo will call them lizards
not tho creeping, crawling kind, but
hugo reptiles that stalked upright
through the Jungles, rivaling in size
tho olephnnt, the hlppopotumus and
tho rhinoceros.
"In the marshes of prehistoric times
dwelt a host of reptiles, some large,
somo small, and of vnrlous forms,
flesh eaters and herb eaters, but nil
shuring certain characters In common
and known as dinosaurs. Not any
were closely related to any living rep
tile, yet thoy had somo characters
common to tho lizards, crocodiles und
birds.
"Of the kinds characteristic of tho
period ono species, an herb cater
named Trnchodon, was more than 30
feet long and about 15 feet high when
standing erect. Its head, with broadly-expanded
mouth, resembles thnt of
a duck, but buck of the beak there
are more thnn two thousand sninll
teeth, disposed In many vertical rows,
each containing several Individual
teeth, the now ones coming up from
oeiow as the old ones wore out.
'The long hind feet terminated in
three large-hoofed toes, and tho short
er, slender front feet were partly
webbed. A long, thin, slender tall act
ed as n powerful swimming organ, und
tho body was covered with rough tu-
berculate skin. Having no means of
defense, it lived chiefly In tho water,
where It was free from nttneks of the
flesh eaters.
"Strangest of nil was tho herbivor
ous Ankylosnurus a stocky, short
legged, blg-bodled creature, completely
encased In armor. DermnI plait's cov
ered tho skull, followed by rings of
plntes over the neck and rows of flat
plntes over the bnck and hips. Its
tall terminated In a huge club, and
tho belly was covered by a pllnblo
mosaic of small, close-set plates. It
was further protected by a mqvnblo
plate that could be dropped down like
n shutter over each eye, thus complet
ing Its protection from Insects and for
midable foes."
WHERE SOME OF OUR IM
PORTS COME FROM
PERFUMES
Milady America nuid $4,072,541. dur
ing the last year for nerfumes. cos
metics nnd toilet preparations, a fact
which has led to confused specula
tion by mere man as to what sho did
with them.
Tho real romance and adventure In
tho stutemcnt lies not so much In tho
uses to which these Imports were put
ns where they cube from. The sunny
isles and lands ulong tho Mediterrane
an probably grow some of the flowers,
others perhaps were plucked by dark
Moorish Hands in Algeria, and mayhap
an animal In tho brooding hills of
western China gave its life to furnish
ono constituent of the perfume.
Tho vcgetablo kingdom is necessarily
tho most fertile source of perfumes.
From its flowers such as tho rose and
Jessamine, and from its seeds, woods
und barks, such ns the spices and san
dalwood, even the most fastidious
counolssour would be nblo to select
either somo slmplo odor or a complex
bouquet. Nor art' they for nerfumes
alone, but for scenting soaps, creams,
pomades, and In making flavorings
and extracts.
Rosemary,' thyme, sweet basil, and

Tho rose geranium, which has such
an exquisite odor is nlso grown and

however, the perfume of tho rose ger

Over 112,000 acres of land in tho prov

from tho petals of which attar of roses
Is distilled. In the wonderful gardens
at Kuzanllk, Kartovo, Kllsoura and
Stara Zagora, tho best of tho tlowors
are grown.
About four thousand pounds of roses
are produced on an ncro of land, but
It takes about two hundred pounds
of petals to produce an ounce of oil,
for an attar which before the war cost
about $250 a pound.
Hoses are grown In other parts ol

Aroused by charges of tho Ameri

foiled In Its duty toward disabled vet

directors of the International Associa
tion of Itotary (Hubs has ordered a
nation-wide survey of the si I tint Inn
"to prove whether American Legion
reports are bused on hysteria or upon
actual facts."
The Itotary organization has In
dorsed the Legion's consolidation pro
gram for the relief to the disabled
and will support the Legion's efforts
to obtain Its ennctment into law, ac
cording to Chesley H. Perry of Chi
cago, secretnry-genepil of the Kotnry
clubs' organizations.
"The 50.000 Amorlcnn business and
professional men who form the 800
Hotnry clubs of the United States,
have started out to gather the netua!
facts In their respective communities
with regard to the manner In which
the United States government Is
handling the' eases of disabled ex-sol-dlers,"
Mr. Perry stated In a letter to
F. W. Gnlbrulth, .Tr., commander of
the Legion.
"The Itotnrlans hnvo been shocked
by the disclosures made by the Ameri
can Legion regarding the circum
stances surrounding the rehabilitation
of Undo Sam's disabled ex-s'ervlce
men. Each Itotary club Is appointing
a special committee to Investigate
conditions In Its community and re
port to tho club. Every club will then
report to the headquarters ofllce of
Rotary In Chicago. The result will be
that from 800 communities In every
part of the United Stntes will come
evidence of business and professional
men to prove to the American people
whether or not tho American Legion
reports nre based on hysteria or upon
actunl facts so revolting nnd henrt
rendlng ns to cause the whole Ameri
can people to rise In their might and
do Justice to the men who sacrificed
themselves for their country."
The Legion's national commander
asserted that his organization will
welcome the Rotnry Investigation.
"I hope Its findings will be given
the -widest publicity," he snld. "It
will bo found that the Legion has not
overstated the case In any particular."

PUTTING IT UP TO DADDY

The girl temporarily hired to help

at the door when he came home from

"Come right on out to tho table,

After viewing tho bread cut nt a 45-

"Oh, yes," said Clara, then coyly.
