TBUMCES 60R6E0US IN COLOR Great Depth of Snow Last Winter Be. r$ I laved Responsible for Unusual* Brilliance of Natural Phenomena-- Deer Often Seen. Yellowstone National Park, Wya-- Interesting changes have developed this year In the natural wonders of fellowstore National park. Led by Old Faithful geyser, which has shortened the Intervals of his performance by almost a quarter of an hoar, and is now playing every 04 minutes, the geysers and hot springs are on their best behavior, promising a season of unsurpassed beauty, as If mindful that the number of visitors la expected to exceed 100,000 for the first time In the history of the park. Unusual depth of snow during the wlntei, followed by a rainy spring, la believed to be responsible for the bril'iance of the natural phenomena. Abundant moisture has been stored in the underground passages feeding the geysers and springs to enable them to excel their previous exhibitions. The Grand has become the park's most powerful geyser. It is playing once or twice each day, and for ten to thirty minutes affords a magnificent spectacle of a fountain of steaming watpr 200 feet In height, which is succeeded by five to twelve distinct eruptions. Giant and Giantess have been giving great exhibitions. Constant has discontinued operations, its activity apparently transferred to the Whirligig, directly across the foot-path. | 1 Terraces Gorgeous in Color, f Mud Boiler ha# changed Its tactics *' and Is discharging water that Is almost clear. Scores Of small geysers are constantly in action and of course Old Faithful, which attains a height of 125 to 170 feet, Is observed hourly by persons from all parts of the world, as In previous years. ' jAt Mammoth Hot Springs, the headquarters of the park administration, the terraces are a marvel of gorgeous coloring, where the hot water ripples Over the unique formations. With the single exception of Minerva Terrace, which is less splendid than In past years, all of the terraces are performing with great volume. Cleopatra apparently 1R trying to make up for Minerva's deficiency by starting a new channel where the coloring changes dally. Jupiter, for many years the finest of all the terraces, has lost Its leadership, being surpassed by the prosaically named Pulpit Terrace, which Is sending more water than ever < from its sapphire pool over a series of beautifully curved basins, fretted and colored like some old Gothic carving, until more than 200 feet below a conduit Is reached, which takes the warm waters from all the springs i blto the open-air bathing pool. | Deer Appear Occasionally, i Hymen Terrace Is attracting great attention because of the abundance and exquisite shape of the algae, or Microscopic plants, which give the terraces their color. Nowhere else In the park are to be found such graceful formations, floating in the water like ostrich plumes of delicate green. Angel Terrace has developed a rich • pink coloring, much like a birthday cake, a resemblance enhanced by the trees, which the growing terrace I reached oat and killed, and which BOW stick out through the crvst Uke white candles. Occasionally a deer <!&n be seen and photographed, nibbling the salty encrustations from the trees. Orange Spring Terrace, which has grown to a great mound 15 feet high, has a tiny assistant, an "off-spring," to quote the pun of a ylsitor, which bubble merrily et the original level of the parent spring, affording a comprehensive view of how the terraces have been built.

GIRLS PUT. ,TO TEST Juvenile Laboratory Latest Court Innovation in Denver. Deeialons Based on Manner in Whloh Juveniles Pass Mental and Physical Tests. Denver, Colo.--A juvenile laboratory Is a new addition to the machinery of the courts of Denver, through which wayward boys and girls pass before Judge Ben R. Llndsey. Upon the manner In which the boy or girl passes the mental and physical tests depends the ultimate disposal of his or her case. Judge Llndsey asserts that a wayward girl has three ages. He explains it in this manner: A girl may be thirteen years old, have the physical development of a girl of eighteen and the mental development of a child of ten years. The Judge says that whenever a girl appears in his court, the first procedure Is to obtain her three ages, through methods developed by medical men and psychologists. He declared he Intends to make the juvenile laboratory available to th« mothers of Denver so they can obtain the three ages of their children and use this Information In providing against indiscretion and possible criminality; An appropriation has been granted for the conduct of the proposed laboratory and the judge Is seeking to obtain the services of expert psychologists to take charge of the work. The Judge describes In this fashion how the department already has aided one mother: MA mother came to me the other day and complained that she had ft daughter of nineteen who gave her no trouble and a daughter of fifteen who desired social privileges that no mother could give a girl of her age. I told her that her fifteen-year-old dayghter was nineteen biologically and had all the Impulses and emotions of the ol(ler girl without any of the good judgment that comes with later years. "The younger girt Is the one who, obeying mature Impulses without mature judgment, gets Into trouble on automobile parties and at dances. "We have been accustomed to classifying girls as good and bad. Sometimes the difference is merely that one who came Into mature life when she was possessed of good judgment Is the good girl and the other who came Into mature physical development when she was young and foolish is the bad glrL" . ^ ,r j Refugees Fleeing From Londonderry Ferry service on the Foyi« at Culljnore Point, five miles from Londonderry, where cuaaecUoa with the Midland Mdlway v*as awaited by hundreds of refugees leaving the Londonderry civil war area.

Disabled Ex-service Men Placed In Agricultural Training In Various Institutions. 1,500 READY FOB COURSE Many of the Men Are Illiterate and Must Be Given a Course In Elementary Work to Fit Them for the Farm Course. Washington.--More than 4*000 disabled ex-service men have been directly placed in agricultural training and In addition there are probably 500 engaged In -prevocatlonal work preparatory to a course in agricultural training. Perhaps 1,500 more have been approved for the course. Special placement has been suggested and Is being sought for tuberculous men In hospitals and sanatoria. The men approved for agricultural training may be classed into three general groups: (a) Men who went into the war from college or high school, and, returning, have entered the agricultural colleges. (bj Men with an eighth grade preparation who are admitted Into subcollege two-year courses, Smith- Hughes or other schools of agriculture. (c) Men of elementary grade, ranging from llUterate to the seventh or eighth grade, who of necessity must have prevpcatlonal instruction in order that they may receive scientific training intelligently and benefit to the greatest degree. The first and second groups have given the federal board and the Institutions to which they have been recommended very little trouble, as they enter the classes if sent to the institution at the beginning of the school year or a term, and If not they frequently can be brought up to class work by coaching. Third Class Troublesome. The third group has given the federal farm board and all the Institutions givat trouble. Insurmountable difficulties seem to have arisen. In varying numbers they form the problem at every state agricultural college and school, and they constitute from 25 to as high as 50 per cent of the men approved for agricultural training. This large percentage Is due to the fact that these men for the most part are from Isolated country districts where the opportunities have not been so great for early education. Fanner parents have been unwilling to aUcw the boys more than a very ordinary education, for fear of losing them from the farm. Many have had no opportunity. Such are usually older men, 15 or 20 years past eountry school age. Many of the men are therefore practically Illiterate, and to this number must be added the foreign Illiterates; that Is, for* eigners who are illiterate from the English standpoint. These difficulties constitute a real problem to the federal board and the institutions to which these men are sent State Institutions ere not always prepared to do the elementary work necessary to advance the men to a knowledge of English and mathematics where they can receive and be benefited by the agricultural graining. However, without exception, tne state Institutions are convinced it it' their patriotic duty to assist the federal board In making preparation to extend the necessary prevocatlonal training, and have changed wondeiv fully In favor of training disabled men In spite of their educational handicaps. Forme a "Guidance School." Dr. Walter J. Quick, training officer, worked out an elementary school, which he termed a "guidance .school," where such men were collected and Instructed In the elementary common branches and In elementary agriculture. Hie school has been made prerequisite to certain courses that Dr. Quick has designed as agricultural unit courses. They are divided Into units of one month each, cover one year continuously from month to month and may be entered any month. A man may take one or several unit courses, one as a major and others as minors related to the major, while at the same time he continues In the common branches of the guidance school. Nearly all the state institutions will allow the men credits for the work done In the unit agricultural courses, which now Include a two-year course, as well as the one-year. These plans of the guidance school and agricultural unit courses were reduced to definite form and mimeographed for the benefit of all institutions offering agricultural training to the disabled class. ' IHMBUMS lllfVinM|| TmAfeaad Hewr Snspect It Applicants for IIISUTMKB Otas Would Restore Mexican Mints Nogales, Aria.--The chamber of commerce has joined with Charles Butters, mining expert of New York and San Francisco, to promote the formation in Mexico of an association of silver producers to rebuild the abandoned mints throughout the nation and thus bring about once more the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Mr. Butters states that if the old-time minting plan Is re-established It will mean that Mexico will coin 500,000,000 ounces of silver.

He says the greatest need of Mexico today la small change and "hard money." Too Much Paper Money. The revolutions and the world war, says Mr, Butters, have stripped Mexico bare of silver coins. In Its place, he says, is a vast quantity ot paper money Issued by the varying governments as fiat money. He blames the great flood of paper money in Mexico for most of the suffering in that na? tlon In connection with the various revolutions. His plan, backed ^by the Nogales chamber of commece, Is to have the old mints rebuilt and placed in operation by the association of silver mine Interests at the cost of the association. Then the cost of the renewed mints would be recovered by the association from the mint profits over the course of years. Upon the paying out of the capital charge In restoring the mints they are to be returned to the Mexican federal government as its property, to be thereafter operated under supervision of the federal government Benefits Are Threefold, This system, according to the sliver mine expert has threefold benefits: First, it will at once restore to Mexico the "hard money" and small change needed by merchants, banks and business men and now lacking; second, it will provide a permanent primary market at home for large amounts of silver production; third, it will stabilise the silver market because the Mexican home requirements will take up a great quantity of silver now exported and sold on a speculation market through San Francisco for the Orient Also this will serve to stimulate silver production because of the better market conditions and thus raise the primary market price for the semiprecious metal. President Bracey Curtis of the chamber of commerce has named a committee of prominent men to take up the mint proposal with Gen. Alvaro Obregon on his impending visit to his h«me in Nogales, Sonora. this month. Flyer With Summons Overhauls Fast Train fittbver, Colo.--Harry G.

Impossibility of Getting Necessary Purifying Chemicals Alarms Federal Health Officer*. Washington, D. C.--The water supply of more than 80,000,000 city residents is in Imminent danger of becoming disease Infected, because of the impossibility of obtaining the necessary purifying chemicals, the public health service announced. Emergency appeals have been received by the service from ten state and numerous city boards of health, it was said, for railroad priority on the movement of alum and chlorine, the chemicals largely used in ridding water ot dangerous disease germs. Due to the congested traffic situation, the announcement said, an acute shortage of these chemicals has existed for several months, and at one of the largest chemical plants only eight cars ot raw material for the manufacture of alum are being received a month, although 120 cars monthly are required. "Officers of the United States public health service view the situation with alarm, as do health officers throughout the country," said Surgeon General Cummlng.
