for Nevada, particularly Hawthorne,
where an underground air base is to
be constructed, the labor being supplied principally by miners.

“TRAILER VAGABOND”

Capulin Mountain National
Monument, N. M.
This tremendous heap of cinders
was blown out of the earth 2000
years ago.
A mile in diameter at its base, it
towers 8,368 ‘feet above sea-level
and is topped b a yawning crater
1,450 feet wide.
From the crater rim, a_ broad
sweep of northeastern New Mexico
is visible—to the west the bulking,
snow capped Saingire -de-Christos
mountain range-—to the south and
'.@ast great plains that resounded to
° the tramp of buffalo herds in the
«days of the fierce Comanche and Ki«wa Indians,Capulin Mountain stands ina
small, 680 acre tract set aside as a
National Monument in 1916. A barren pile of black cinders when it
was young, it has acquired a coat
of pines and shrubs, the latter mak.
ing fairly good eating from the way a
few deer we happened upon were
chewing them. Many varieties of wild
cherries which gave the mountains
their Spanish name.
Right now the mountain is ablaze
with a new, spring crop of wild
flowers, beautifying what must have
been at onetime an ominous and terrifying sight.
Three miles out of the town of
Capulin we reached the Monument’s
entrance All along the two mile road
that encircles the mountain and ends
in a broad parking area on its top,
we observed layers of fine volcanic
ash and layers of lava pebbles where
the road and the elements have cut
through the mountains sruface. Occasional ‘‘bobs’’, large . bubbles of

lava hhrled from the volcano long
ago, dotted the route. They were
similar to those I saw around the
still active Mauna Loa volcano in
Hawaii a few years ago.
As we began to climb, we passed
a small cave that. has given up many
specimens of prehistoric Indian
handiwork. Rounding the slope, another extinct volcan burst into view
—the 11,000 foot Sierra’ Grande, 15
miles away. Older than Capulin, it is
one of the largest mountains in America isolated from a mountain range,
Next we sighted a broad, 3 mile
flow of lava once a molten stream
on the mountain side, now frozen into a rippling black band.
Further on we paused to look out
over the area made world famous to
archeologists only 15 years ago, Prehistoric Indian ‘writings —strange,
undecihperable arrow signs — were
found on the rocks. Nearby are picture writings that we later examined
close at hand, Nothing is known of
their meaning but figures of animals
and men stood out clearly, possbily
a story told by some ancient mountain dweller.
Reaching the summit, we hiked
around .the cup-shaped crater, 700
feet deep and cluttered with cinders
and ash. Dead now and quiet, it was
a rumbling inferno when our calendar was born. The view, in all directions from this rim was magnificent.
At dusk the mountain began to
merge with the purpling. sky above
—a sky that glowed an angry red
2,000 years ago. Capulin may not be
as spectacular now as it was then,
re its quiet beauty is well worth a
visit. .

U.S. BULLETIN
TELLS WHERE BED
SHEETS WEAR OUT
By LEONE BAXTER
Maybe it isn’t polite, but we have
to chuckle at some of the brochures,
rnamphlets, leaflets and magazines
that the various federal agencies are
moved to prepare by the milions for
the enlightenment of the country at
large.
“How to treat a black eye,’’ observes Walter Fink, the Shasta
Conty newspaerman, “‘is an interesting subject for a government bulletin. More useful for most of us
would be another on how to avoid
getting one.”’
Whether there is such a bulletin
or whether Mr. Fink was just making a suggestion, we don’t know.
But we do know there’s quite a
lengthy government treatise just off
the press on “How to lift heavy
weights.”” We tremble to ‘think of
how many people it took to amass
all the pertinent facts and figures
in thatlengthy illustrated’ report;
how much it cost the government
printing office to produce and the
. post office department to distribute;
and finally, how many people in the
48 states have received the portentous information on weight-lifting
who never propose to lift anything
heavier than a relief or pension
check,
Under the title, ‘Oh,
Hills, What Big Boundaries You
Have!’’ the West wood Hills NewsPress recently reviewed a WPA
compiled volume called “Guide for
Los .Angeles and Environs.’’ Pointing out a few gems of misinformation concerning the terrain encompassed by Beverly Hills, and the enrollment at UCLA and USC, the
News-Press concludes with the terse
comment: ‘‘Based on the accuracy of
portions of the volume, it is not difficult to see why the. writers are on
the public rolls instead of working.
With the cost of government
srgirting ahead like a rookie answering mess growing heavier by the
minute as defense needs mount, the
average man wonders when some of
the costly frills are going to be dispensed with.
“Yet,”’ comments ithe Oakland
Tribune, ‘‘we continue to receive
government prepared bulletins on
“Where Bed Sheets Wear Out!”
The tremendous government output of largely irrelevent and often
unfactual printed material is not,
perhaps quite such an amusing little foible as we were once prone to
consider it. It’s costly. And we’re
the people who pay for it.
LAND OF LIBERTY
TO OPEN WEDNES.
IN NEV. THEATRE
“Land of Liberty,’’ which opens at
the Nevada Theatre on Wednesday
epitomizes more than a century and
a half of American history in a feature motion picture that runs less
than an hour and a half on _ the
screen.
By selecting sequences from 112
different features, shorts and newsreels, Cecil B. DeMille has brought
to the screen in vivd flashes the story
of millions of men and women who
struggled to attain and defend American liberties. More than 139 film
stars appear as historical characters
in the well-knit narrative.
The picture, reledsed by MetroGoldwyn-Mayer with proceeds going
to war emergency welfare work,
opens in Colonial times. Venturesome settlers in America, seeking
second chance, build
and organize local governFounding fathers of the republic are brought living to the
screen. Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander
Hamilton and James Madison are
portrayed as personalities in action.
By the magic of motion pictures
historical events are revealed. Spectators sit with the men who drafted
the Constitution and the Bill -of
Right. They toil westward with restless pioneers, fight under Lincoln’s
leadership to preserve the Union,
and work with the men who built
the first transcontinental railroad
across a reunited country. —

AUSTRALIA HAS
GREAT SHEEP
RANCH FRONTIER
DAVIS, May 17—Australia’s bush
country, the world’s greatest sheep
producing area, is still.in many respects a primitive desert frontier,
according to Professor J. F. Wilson
‘of the University of California College of Agriculture,
Professor Wilson, wool specialist
on the Davis campus, recently returned from a six months’ sabbatical
leave much of which was spent visiting sheep stations in the Australian
bush, a flat desert area in the interior of the continent where temperatures rise to 125 degrees in the shade
and the average rainfall is only six
inches per year. :
Ranches in the bush are few and
far between, says Professor Wison,
and many towns are dreary, dusty
little hamlets, Most buildings have
corrugated iron roofs. Many children on the isolated ranches receive
their schooling by correspondence.
Black aborigines still live along the
fringes of the sheep country, hunting, the kangaroos and ostriches in
which the bush abounds, and following much the same tribal form of
life they pursued when white men
first arrived in Australia.
Out of this flat desert waste, however, the Australians have built the
greatest sheep growing industry in
the world. The salt bush provides
feed for flocks of: from 20,000 to
250,000'sheep. Fenced pastures may
contain 60,000 acres. Professor Wil~
son visited one sheep station that
eovered 961 square miles divided into
pastures of 20 square miles each, and
carrying 30,000 sheep. There he saw
fifteen Merino rams that produced
fleeces--weighing an —average—of— 30
pounds.
