The eastern parks present a jharp contrast to the parks of the West. In the West the mountains are bald and bold, the outlines severe se-vere and rugged. In the eastern parks the mountains are older, worn down by eons of erosive forces, with contours smoother and gentler, although by no means lacking lack-ing in crags and cliffs. In the West the giant peaks pierce ueiB" where trees no longer grow, while in the East the lush forests sweep "over the highest summits. In the West one may find icy glaciers and snowflelds in July, or at lower altitudes alti-tudes brave shimmering deserts under un-der canopies of azure sky, but the East will be carpeted in green while overhead there will be lazy, cumulus clouds. GREAT SMOKY Mountains park, a part of the ancient Appalachian range, straddles the North Carolina-Tennessee border, and is the highest mountain mass east of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Within the park boundaries are 16 more peaks more than 6,000 feet high. About half the park, or approximately approxi-mately 200,000 acres, is in its original origi-nal forested condition, containing the most extensive stand of virgin red sDruce and hardwoods in the entire country. From this lush Tege- tation, which extends from tne vai-levs vai-levs to the tops of the lofty peaks, there rises a tenuous mist, a deep blue haze, from which the moun tains eet their name.

To make this area accessible to visitors, a high-Way high-Way has been built along the crest of the mountains for the . entire length of the park. This highway is known as Skyline drive and from it one may obtain breath-taking views of the fertile farmlands of Shenandoah Shenan-doah valley and the Appalachian ranges to the west and of rolling foothills and the Piedmont plateau to the east The two parks have much In common. com-mon. In the spring and early summer sum-mer there is a succession of beautl-ful beautl-ful flowering plants and shrubs, such as dogwood, flame azalea, mountain laurel and rhododendron. In the fall the foliage is splashed with brilliant colors. There is good Indian Lookout Rebuilt as Monument FORT SILL, OKLA. Intended as another monument to the Old West a blockhouse used during the last century as a warning station at Fort SilL which survived the Indian wars but was damaged by an artillery artil-lery shell in the last war, is being rebuilt With its commanding view for 60 miles across the plains of south-"western south-"western Oklahoma, the blockhouse was used to alert Fort Sill to ma s 4" me manic gorge Known as however, it may be a revela- trout fishing in both parks and many miles of foot trails to attract those who like to hike.

The islands are densely wooded and contain many rare va rieties of plants and ferns. To reach the park one takes a boat from Houghton, Mich., a journey of sev eral hours across Lake Superior, or from Grand Marais, Minn. .

When it leaped into view, Atkins' mate broke away and put as much distance as the boat allowed be tween himself and the fish. But Atkins took a two-by-four, slugged the monster over the head and hauled him aboard. The mate came back and they stood there in horror, examining the capture.

Back in Brooklyn, he tied the fish to the front fender of his automobile and went from fish market to fish market trying to find out what it was he had caught. No one knew. An ichthyologist at the American Museum of Natural History finally identified it. The marine nightmare, he said, was Known as tne "angler nsh," or the "gooseflsh," or the "fishing frog," although its official name is "lophius piscatorius.'

Phenolhiazine-Salt Mixture for Sheep Reduction cf Worms And Heavier Lambs Tests have been carried on for four successive seasons at the Texas Tex-as substation, Sonora, to determine whether continued licking of pheno-thlazine-salt mixtures is toxic to sheep, and also whether this practice prac-tice will control infestations of stomach stom-ach and other roundworms of sheep (without drenching animals individually). individ-ually). The pheno-salt mixture was kept before sheep on pasture all the time. There were no harmful results; in fact the lamb crops were 3 per cent heavier than during three previous seasons when salt alone was kept in the troughs. Use of the phenothiazine-salt mix ture also resulted in reduction and checking of worms. The sheep were heavily infested at the beginning in ewes, 1,180 worm eggs per gram of feces; in lambs, 1,700 eggs, per 71 A i L This sturdy baby Southdown will gain by being fed phenothiazine-salt. phenothiazine-salt. gram.
