At present "they are pretty much neglected, both by the federal government and by the people. There are 30 or more In charge of th^ Interior department and congress gives the national park 4 service but $12,500 to care for all of them. Visitors to the 18 where records were kept numbered but 212,826 last season. But that Is because the people know almost nothing about the national monuments. Some day these national monuments will be made easily accessible and fixed op; then the people will flock to them. For all of them are well worth seeing and many of them an among the wonders of the world. With national parks and national forests and national monuments, etc^ etc., the public Is naturally mixed up on what's what. Here's the right of that: There are 19 national parks, each established by a separate act of congress and all In charge of the national park service of the Interior department Primarily they contain scenic features of national Importance, though two--Hot Springs In Arkansas and Platt In Oklahoma--are medicinal. They are kept as far as possible in their original wild state and are wild life sanctuaries. They are protected against commercialism. Familiar names In the national park system are Yellowstone, Yosemite, Rocky Mountain and Grand Canyon. Lafayette, on the coast of Maine, is the only scenic national park east of the Mississippi. Congress will not purchase land for national park purposes and the only public lands are in the West. Lafayette was presented to the nation by public-spirited citizens. There are six national military parks--Gettysburg and Vlcksburg are familiar examples--under control of the War department. There are approximately 158 national forests, under control of the forest service of the Department of Agriculture. They were established for scientific lumbering and for grazing and were originally purely commercial propositions. The Agricultural department, however, in Its persistent efforts to get control of the national parks, has set np recreational features In many national forests In competition with the national parks. Now we come to the national monuments. "National Landmarks" would be a more fitting designation. Previous to 1000 the United-States had no provision for the establishment of national monuments. Public Insistence became so great for the protection of natural wonders from vandal- Ism that In 1906 the "Act for the Preservation of American Antiquities" was passed by congress. This act "provides for the punishment of vandal- Ism and for permits to excavate and collect Section 2 of the act reads : That the President of the United Stats* la hereby authorised, la his discretion, to declare by publte proclamation historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the government of the United States to be national monuments, and may reserve as a part thereof parcels of land, the limits of which In all casea shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper car* and maaagement of the objects to be protected. Under this act about 50 national monuments are now established. About 80 are In charge of the national park service and about 15 under control of the forest service. The War department controls three. Exact Qgnres cannot be given as changes are constantly occurring. Of those controlled by the forest service the largest is Mount Olympus In Washington, which Is a region of mountains, forests and glaciers and the home of the Olympic elk. Bandeller in New Mexico contains vast numbers of prehistoric cliffdweller ruins and is presumably slated for national park honors. Bryce Canyon in Utah--of which more later--Is an eroded canyoa of 7.440 acres. The 1923 report of Director Stephen T. Mather of the national park service to the secretary of the Interior gives In addition to Devil's Tower, El Morro, and Petrified Forest--of which more later-- the following as the list of the national monuments under his charge. Tbey have been grouped by this writer. The list: ^ * . ' _ j ' the site of nearly 100 community dwellings. In Its original condition -the Aztec Ruin Itself was a stalely sandstone structure. 889 by 280 feet, three stories high und built around a rectangular court The 70,000 specimens already recovered constitute probably the most complete collection representative • of a prehistoric North American culture. ^ Mount Katmai, a big Alaskan volcano, blew off its head in 1912, covered a vast penlnsala with slag and darkened the skies all over the world with dust The explosion also created the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes," one of the wonders of the worlds It is live volcanic ground, cracked by fissures and pitted by millions of fumaroles of every hue which bubble and belch and a0od ur steam and smoke. And so It goes. Each na 11 o n a 1 monument has its own story. And new national monuments are being created! One of the newest Is Carlsbad Cave in New Mexico. It has been «nly partly explored but is stnted by experts far to surpass Mammoth Cave Id size and in magnificence and variety of decoration. The latest addition to the list of monuments Is the Craters of the Moon, in Idaho, where 40 square miles have been set aside by President Coolidge. It is a lava wonderland, with cones, tunnels, caves and all sorts of twisted and contorted forms of hardened volcanic flow. Of the national monuments chosen for Illustration Bryce Canyon has Just been given national park honors. A bill for Its creation as the Utah National park was passed In the closing hours of the last session of congress. Its feature Is a box canyon three miles long and two miles wide, cut 1,000 feet Into the .Paunsaugunt plateau of southeastern Utah. There is a wonderful variety of erosional form, which are painted In every color, shade and tint of the spectrum--reds, pinks, creams, tans, lavenders, purples, .„ blues, greens, chocolates and whites.

His lips are now so strong and ,hard that he can crack nuts with them and can do nearly everything that the ordinary person can do with his teeth. He has been examined by many medical men, who attribute his wonderful power to hypertrophy of the muscles of the/ lips, which have Increased enormously in thickness and firmness. This man has been an inveterate pipe smoker ail his life, and much of the power of his lips Is attributed to holding a heavy pipe between them.

Take, for example, those of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Tbey Illustrate the history of the American Southwest from the prehistoric times of the cliff dwellers down through the many years of frantic searching for gold by the Spanish soldiers lind the colonizing and proselyting by the Spanish priests. Cortez conquered Mexico for Spain In 1619-21. It was soon looted. The Spaniard then turned his search for gold toward Peru--which Is another story--and toward the unexplored wilder* ness to the North. The air was full of northern treasure myths--EH Dorado, the gilded man. and a whole people clothed In gold; the Seven Cities of Cibola, with their golden domes; Quivlra, the city of gold. Side by side soldier and priest Invaded the desert. Each despised the other; each used the other. Coronado's expedition from Mexico la 1540 that penetrated as far as Kansas is one of thfe most romantic In all history. Gran Qulvira was once the flourishing paeblo city of Tablra, believed to be Quivlra by the Spaniards. It was discovered In 1581 by Francisco Banchez de Chamuscado. Francisco de Acedevo founded the mission in 1628. The Apaches wiped It out about 1670. The ancient pueblo held about 1,600. The great stone church was built In 1644. Both still stand In this ghost city of the long ago. Montezuma Castle is one of the relics of the. ful collection of petrified trees In the world. s^trees lie In three groups, which really are not forests at all. for most of the trunks were washed to their present positions on an eroded plain by r prehistoric floods from forests far atfay. Many of the trunks exceed 100 feet in length. One log, 111 feet long, bridges a canyon 45 feet wide. The state of mineralization of the wood almost places it among the precious stones. Not only,are chalcedony, opals and agates on view but even Jasper and onyx. The Devil's Tower Is an extraordinary mass of : .igneous rock and is one of the most conspicuous featuies of the Black Hills region of Wyoming. It has been a landmark from prehistoric thncs. First there Is the tevel plain, then a rounded wooded hill 000 feet high and on top of that the tower, 600 ^ feet high and a mile In circumference. Its sides t-nre fluted by great columns which stand peri>endlcular, except where they flare out at the base and in at the top. These columns, about 6 feet In diameter, are mostly pentagonal, but some are i four-sided and some six-sided. El Morro National monument is s landmark to thrill a good American. Two enormous connected rocks of varl-colored eroded sandstone rise abruptly from the arid plain. One suggests a castle and Is called El Morro. The other Is called Inscription Rock because It bears priceless historical records. For nearly four centuries ago these walls echoed the clank of the steel harness of Conquistadores and the prayers of Franciscan Martyrs, There was a spring there and a shallow cave arid soldier and priest turned aside to them from the old Zunl trail. And there they cut their names and the why and wherefore of their comings and goings. An Inscription perhaps as Important as sny Is this, cut by Don Juan de Onate 14 years before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Itock: Paso por aqul de adelantado don juan de onate del descubrlmlento de la mar, del sur a 18 el April del 4 606: Pafcsed by here the provincial chief Don Juan de , Onate from the discovery of the South Sea on the 16th of April 1606. This approximately fixes the date of the founding of Santa Fe, as It is known Onate fixed his capital there upon his return from the Gulf of California. Scarcely less Interesting Is the Inscription, herewith reproduced, by Don Diego de Vargas Zapata Lujan Ponce de Leon: Aqul estaha el Oenl Dn Do de Vargas qulen conqulsto a nestra santa fe y la real corona tod© el nueva Mexico a su costa ano de 1692.

Casa Grande (Great House) Is s prehistoric off ffery. It was already a ruin when Fray Marcos discovered it In 1539. It is a large building of a natural concrete called culeche, smoothly plastered within. It stands In a large compound of outlylag buildings enclosed In a rectangular wall. Aztec Ruin was presented to the nation hy Archer M. Huntington of the American Museum of Natural History. It is being extensively excavated and restored. Centuries before Columbus one of the richest centers of prehistoric civilization was the valley of the Amlmas river In northwestern New Mexico. There, within the radius of a single 'mile vast mounds of earth and fallen stone mark out, and destroyed as far as possible all traces of civilization and Christianity. For twelve years they enjoyed their ancient Independence. It was Diego de Vargas who reconquered the region in 1693. There are more than 50 of these Inscriptions. They contain names great in those times--Nleto, who escorted the first missionaries to Zuni in 1G29; Lujan, who avenped the murder of Fray Francisco Letrado in 1C32; Archuletn.
