By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN.
OTOKING on the Hoof (if the YVorlil
that is what the visitors to the
Kocky Mountain National park are
iloinj,' tills summer. Tor the famous
1'all Itiver rond over the Continental
I'lvhle Is open at last. This wonder
roaii cllnilis up ll,7l7 feet into the
turquoise blue of the Colorado sky'
und for several miles runs hljjh above
tlintierllne and sometimes tar above
the clouds.
The completion of this automobile
li.imn.. iliiough Uoky Mountain Is of national
Interest and Importance. Since the most popular
of all the national parks (l'JUO attendance: 240,
IKjO visitors; D0.5U2 private automobiles) was es
tablished hi 1015 It has been visited by 761,141
people and 145,842 private automobiles from every
nook and cranny of the United States. Hitherto
.only the able-bodied have been privileged to cross
through the park on foot or horseback. Now
anyone who can stand the altitude can make the
trip by car in comfort.
The opening of this road has therefore been
awaited with Impatience by the army of national
park tourists (1,058,455 in 1D20).
The Fall River road is three roads in one: It
establishes connection between Esteg park and
Grand lake, the east and west entrances to Rocky
Mountain. It completes a scenic, automobile bigh-
fcet; Kstes purk. 7.500; Roof of the World, 11,
71i7; Milncr pass, 10,700; Grand river, 9,040; Grand
lake, S..T75; Granby, 013; Berthoud pass, 11,330.
Thus the motorist circles from the Irrigated plains
through the foothills to the wilderness cloud
lands where grow the Alpine flowers beside the
everlasting snow and Imck to the plains, crossing
the Continental Divide twice and enjoying the
peaks, lakes, streams and forests of both slopes.
i!!,,t,(i-rrntfer iIwIhiv Mint this Denver circle
route Is a world-heater. Some day Mount Evans
(1I.2G0), with Its magnificent scenic environment,
will be added to the Rocky Mountain National
park and an automobile road built to Its summit.
The Fall River road is the crowning touch of
this scenic circle. Its route Is shown In white
across the black of Rocky Mountain. The num
erals mark: 1, Roof of the World; 2, Mllner l'asg;
3, Grand river; 4, Longs peak (14,255). The
photographs reproduced give hints of the scenic
glories.
No. 2 shows cars skirting Sheep lake In Horse
shoe park, about seven miles from Estes park
and near the beginning of the climb up Fall River
canyon, the lowest notch in the skyline.
No. 3 is taken from one of the six or more hair
pin turns that enable cars to climb up Fall River
canyon to the Roof of the World on a reasonable
grade. The view Is back (south) toward Estes
park, from an elevation of 0,500 feet
No. 1 Is the Rui.f of the World, about IS miles
from Kstes park. Here for nearly three miles the
road ruiw u!ui.it l..-vi-l i ,u, t.l,.tti;i, ,f wore
than two miles over a carpet of Alpine (lowers.
Here Is a panoramic view of a hundred miles.
No. 4 shows a visitor looking down Into the
"crater" of Specimen mountain (12,4X2). The Kail
River road, visible in the background, now drops
past the l'oudre lakes and through Mllner pass
(the Continental Divide) to Grand river, Ave
miles away and 28 miles from Estes park. Here
the road turns abruptly to the south and runs
for 12 miles along the Grand river to Grand lake.
No. 0 shows a glimpse of Grand lake, big and
blue and deep, surrounded by mountains, with its
hotels and summer homes and its yacht club, 40
miles by the Fall River road from Estes park.
No. 6 means trout In Fall river, In Grand river,
In Grand lake and nearly everywhere along the
road.
As the visitor speeds along he makes his own
motion-pictures ever-changing combinations of
scenic beauty.
ANCIENT CITY IS CHAN-CHAN, PERU
.Today Nothing but a Mass of Ruins,
' but Was Flourishing Befors PI
zarro Ravished Peru.(
Chan-Chan la not, as tha name
would Indicate, a place In China. It
is one of the oldest cities In Pent, or
In the world. Ihe Chtmus, who built
Chan-Chan, are supposed to have been
an elderly race when the Iiicai wer
: r-.,, ' - V ,
yet barbarians. After a time the In
cas became civilized and powerful and
captured Chan-Chan. Then Plzarro
came to plunder and wreck the city
and massacre the inhabitants. So
much of the Chlmus' history Is de
ducted from the remains of Chan-Chan
and old Spanish narratives.
The people who Inhabited the old
metropolis were moon worshipers.
The moon, they said, was the most
worthy deity of nature, for it shone
not only at night but also In the day,
whereas the sun could shine In the
day only. The sea was supposed to
be under the special protection of the
moon, because the latter controlled
the tides. Images of fish and other
sea creatures and temples to both
moon and sea were therefore built by
the Chlmus and many have been un
covered In the ruins of their city.
Chan-Chan has since the time of Pi-
tarro been a heap of wreckage. There
are palaces, workshops, factories and
great battered pyramids built up in
terraces and surmounted by buildings.
These are the mounds In which the
Chtmu dead once lay. Like the Egyp
tians, these people buried Vith their
dead many articles of their personal
property. From one of these mounds
a Spanish adventurer obtained $3,
000,000 worth of gold and silver. For
many years Chan-Chan yielded to the
Spanish conquerors fabulous sums of
told.
1.. Saul' Tra.nira as a
(Acts 22:3,4: 2U :4.o).
1. Taught to love ills own nation. "1
uiu a Jew." The I'liansees were
the nationalists of their day. Tloe ,
who are Intelligently lojul to their owu
nation can more ctYectixeb IVIp others.
2. Taught to love (ioii's law. "Taught
according to the perfect maimer of the
law of the fathers." l.ove for the
Holy Scriptures is a aluable nsct
In life. One may misinterpret it and
dangerously misapply it ; but if he
has love in his heart for it there is
hope of getting him to come into right
relationship to It.
3. Was "zealous toward God." The
root of the word "zealous" signifies
"to boil." It means a passion for God
and His work. It was zeal for God
that made Saul think of and plan
for his work. This zeal for God ex
pressed Itself in persecution of the
Christians whom he regarded as do
ing that which was contrary to God's
law and purpose. He spared neither
age nor sex, even to imprisonment and
death (Acts 22:4).
II. Saul Thoroughly Conscientious
(20 :i), 10). ;
In bis conscientiousness he opposed
Jtuus, for he regarded Him as an
Impostor. Saul is to be commended
in that he responded to his conscience,
but lie Is to be condemned for his
attitude toward Jesus; for there was
overwhelming evidence that Jesus was
God's Sou and came iu fultilliiieut ot
the Scriptures. The resurrection of
Christ was such an outstanding mira
cle a proof of the Deity of Christ, ,
that there was no room left for doubt.
Saul was to be blamed for ids ig
norance. Conscience is the law of
lite for every man, but It should be
regulated by the Word of God.
III. Stephen's Martyrdom (Acts 7:
54; 8:3).
In order to understand the signifi
cance of ids martyrdom we must ob
tain a synthetic view of his life.
1. Who Stephen was (0:1-7). He
was one of the seven who were up
pointed to look after the temporull- ,
ties of the church. A division of the i
tiewdy formed church was averted by j
the appointment of properly qualitied
men to look after the distribution of
the benevolence.
2. Why Stephen was opposed (0:8
15). lu his work he testitied of Christ
und by the Holy Spirit wrought mira
cles. These mighty works aroused
the people. The following features
characterized him: (1) Wisdom,
which means common sense; (2) !
grace, which means beauty of charac- i
ter; (3) power. He had the ability
to do wonders and great signs and
speak the truth effectively, The men
of the opposing synagogues were not i
ul)le to "withstand t lie wisdom and :
the Spirit by which he spake." They j
arrested and brought him before the :
great council. Even here they could
not silence him hy argument, so tliey j
decided to do It by violence. When '
the heurts of wicked men are set
against the truths the testimony of !
Spirit-tilled men only exasperates them. !
They accused him of blasphemy and
employed false witnesses to prove that
be had made on attack upon the tem
ple. 3. Stephen stoned (7:54-00). Iiefore
the council he made a magnificent de
fense. This lie did by tracing the
hUtory of Israel from the call of Abra
ham to the crucifixion of Christ. His
aim In this review was to show that
God never had been localized and that
the temple was but a small part of
God's plan. In his address be did
nut speuk against the temple, hut
showed that God did not iu the full
est sense dwell in It at any time. He
proved this from Scripture (Isa. til:
1, 2; I Kings 8-27). In his conclu
sion ho declared that the Jews had
always been a stiff-necked people, re
sisting the Holy Spirit, and now their
stubbornness had reached Us culmina
tion In the betrayal, rfteeilon nml
murder of the Son of God. This
charge cut to, the heart. His argu
ments were unanswerable, lielng uu
w illing to answer him and at the same
time to accept the truth presented,
their anger was stirred to Its highest
pitch ; so their only answer was stones.
They gnashed upon him as a mad dog.
In this hour of trial God gave bim a
wouilerful vision. He was permitted
to see into heaven Itself, and there
he got sight of the glorified Son of
Man stuudlng at the right hand of
God.
4. Shephen's burial (3:1-3). His
death Is described as a falling asleep.
This is really all that death is to the
Christian. Devout men burled him,
making great lamentation over hlui.
; "There was quite a lively discussion
at a meeting of the master barbers
yesterday,"
! "What about?"
"The suggestion was made that
; publications exploiting pugilists and
chorus girls should be banished from
all first class tonsorial parlors."
j "Was the motiou carried?"
"No. Some of the master barbers
contended that their clients bad not
been educated up to that point yet,
so the motion was lost."
Good Taste.
Toung Lady "Who's that tall, distinguished-looking
man standing by
the fireplace?"
Dowager "My nephew. Lives in the
country all the year round. Never
comes to London If he can help it."
Toung Lady "Oh, but you must
Introduce me to him. I simply adore
savages." Punch.
GOT HIS ORDERS
"Why has Reggy shaved off hie
mustache?"
"Got a new girl, I balleve, and is
making some alterations to suit her
Ideas."
Out of Date.
"tpeak gently" saya tha proverb old
lla potency has down;
if nowadays your own you'd hold
Employ a megaphone.
Led by Conscience.
"What tlrst led you to go Into poll
tics?" "My conscience," replied Senator
Sorghum. "As a young man I had so
high an opinion of my abilities that I
thought It would be an unpardonable
lack of patriotism If I neglected to
give my country the benefit of my
services."
Cured.
"I'll line you $10 for contempt of
court."
"All right, your honor. I'll pay It,
but it's a lucky thing for me that you
don't know what I'm thinking."
"I'll Just add another $10 for that
remark."
"Your honor, my mind Is aow a per
fect blank."
Sad Disappointment.
"So you consider Jack misleading
and disappointing. Why, dear?"
"Well, he had me on the tenterhooks
last night in expectation that he was
going to nsk me to go to the theater."
"And didn't he?"
"No, he only asked me to marry
blm."
IB
GOOD IDEA
"That old fellow has Just In
stalled a dictaphone In his office."
"Why's that?"
"He says all hit stenographers

BOY"
(Conducted by NaU-ni Council of the Bit
ik'ouu of America.)
SCOUTING AND LOYALTY
A boy U naturally u loval voun
animal. He s;iek to his '.'gang"
through thick and thin, will never "go
back" on a chum, no matter at what
cost to himself, and sc outing, dealing
as usual with fundamental boy In
stincts, makes .use of this natural ten
dency, turns It to constructive ends.
In scouting, boy loyalty is both taken
account of and developed. Loyalty to
the patrol, the troop, the scoutmaster,
go over Into loyalty to the community,
to home and church and school, to God
and country as pledged by the scout
oath.
No one who has ever seen a troop
of boy scouts taking the oath of alle
glanit' to the flag, grave, earnest, sin
cere, can doubt that here are Ameri
cans In the making to whom the Stars
and Stripes are not merely a strip of
gay-colored bunting, but stand for
something real and true, something
worth dying for, If need be.
Scouts are being trained In citizen
ship which means not only that they
know the history of this country and
how Its laws are made, but that they
stand ready to serve the nation in
whatever ways a boy may. Co-operating
In a nation-wide Forest Protection
week, as they did in May last, fight
ing forest fires, planting trees, aiding
In city clean-ups and health surveys,
fighting gypsy moths and hagwflttns
nnd fungus blights, sharing In efforts
at wild life conservation, aiding the
police in directing traffic, serving as
fireman's aides, etc., they are prac
ticing citizenship here and now, are
learning It, by living It, day by day.
Everywhere we are seeing today
war's dangerous aftermath of lawless
ress, especially among our youth.
Scouting offers one of the best anti
dotes for this ill, for a wont stands
for law and order. Scouts learn to
obey, not as "blind driven rattle."
but as good citizens who recognize the
necessity and reasonableness of law.
A scout executive In West Virginia re
cently examined the court records of
his town for ten years back and found
that not a single scout or a boy under
scout Influence had ever passed
through the court, and similar records
nre every now and then reported from
various parts of the country. A scout
Is loyal too loyal to be a law breaker.
Ours Is a great country and has
great problems to met. No one ctn
tell what the next few years will hold,
but we can be sure of one thing, that
no nation can be stronger than Its
men, and that every bit of splendid
volunteer leadership In the work of
making men "physically strong, men
tally awake, morally straight," will
count Immeasurably for pod and as
the best sort of patriotic service.
"Save a man. you save one person.
Save a boy, you save a whole multi
plication, table."
HEROIC WORK IN PUEBLO FLOOD
Among the many Instances of heroic
service In rescue work during the
Pueblo fbiod disasters, that of two
hov scouts stands out conspicuously.
On hearing that a man and his young
son were trapped In a burning buliil
Inir surrounded by the ever rising
tides of onrushlng water, they hastily
manned a lifeboat and pulled througn
the dangerous current to the burning
building. The owner of the place ami
his son were rescued with great n-ik,
not nnlv because' of the floods but be
cause the burning building was being
shaken by terrific explosions all tne
time from the lime stored therein.
Having discovered that three em
ployees were also In the burning plant,
the scouts returned a second time,
battling desperately with the waters,
and got the other victims also to
safety. Hardly had they gotten Into
the boat when another more violent
explosion occurred and the building
crumbled and fell Into the water.
i
MOTHER Df.SSRVES GOOD TURN
A Washington, D. C, Scoutmaster
in speaking of the good turn says;
"One fellow more entitled to our good
turn and courteous and loving con
sideration than any other Is MOTHER.
She has done a whole lot for us. On
our account she has given up parties
and pleasures, pretty dresses, warm
costs and new hats. She has sat up
nights to core for us or mend our
clothe. She has worked and prayed
for us. In fact there doesn't seem to
be anything she has not done Tor us
and we 'fin't even half repay her. Any
scout who lets a whole day pass with
out doing something to make mother
glad Is a wont who falls to live up
to the standard of Troop 33,"
DO PRACTICAL MAP WORK.
One of the requirements for a first
class boy scout Is to be able fo read a
map correctly, and draw, from field
notes made on the spot, an Intelligible
rough sketch map, Indicating by their
projier marks Important buildings,
roads, trolley lines, main landmarks,
prtnclpaj elevations, etc. All this In
volves no small amount of practical
skill and field work and In many
places map-work classes are conduct
ed for scouts.
