In MJIS, Champlain explored the upper reunies of this majestic stream and discovered these islands. The origin of the name is evident to the beholder. Below Lake Ontario for a dlifanue of some forty miles thfi river broadens to a width ranging from four to seven miles. Here begins this world-famous archipelago. These islands—sometimes In a string like links in a chain —again lu just pell-, mell confusion, appear to block the channel. Apparently there are a thousand, of them. Some authorities assert there are as many as 1,700. Composed mainly of rock or granite, their surfaces are not high. Some are no larger than to provide a foundation for a house —the largest contains about 10,000 acres. Many are privately owned and here man and Ills money have created castles which look as wondrous as fairy tales sound'. The Thousand Islands were the scene of some hot conflicts between nations—lndian wars (when this region was known as Manatoana—■Garden of the Great Spirit), contests between the French and the English and battles of Revolutionary fame. To this generation, however, they are more prominently known for their sfngularly-plcturesque beauty and uilI questioned charm.

VALLEY FORGE IN THE picturesque valley of the Schuylkill river, twenty miles northwest of Philadelphia, there Is a sacred spot at which every American should give himself the privilege of worshiping sometime during bls or her lifetime. It Is the then unattractive site* lined with barren, frozen billsides, where General George Washington and his little army of about 10,000 half-starved, poorly-clad patriots blvouaced, suffering unthinkable hardship, from December, 1777, to June, 1778, following the tragic battle of the Brandywine and e the occupancy of Philadelphia by the British, This circumstance of history bequeathed to this hallowed pl»ce a glory and a fame which will attach to it throughout the ages to come as will the more recent struggle to the region of the Argonne in France. A tract of about 500 acres has been purchased by the state of Pennsylvania and, the government, with patient determination and admirable completeness, is restoring ancient hindmurks and transforming this historic camp-site of the Continental army into an everlasting National Shrine. The Daughters of the American Revolution have erected a noble shaft to the unknown who sleep here und the Valley Forge Museum of American History contains many relics of the day. One fills with emotion as he enters the little cottage where General Washington had his simple headquarters and feels the odor of sanctity as he steps into the Washington Memorial Chapel, sometimes called “The V. .Stminster of America.”

THE DEVIL’S TOWER THIS peculiar freak of nature which has become one of Uncle Sam’s National Monuments, is located neur Sundance in northeastern Wyoming. It is' a gigantic rock, 600 feet high, probably 60 feet In diameter at the top and a mile around at the base. Rising sheer from the level plain, it is visible in some directions for almost a hundred miles. Undoubtedly this tower was useful to primitive races as well as to early i pioneers ns a landmark. 'Tis thought that during the subsequent Indian wars members of the Sioux and Crowtribes directed their marches by the aid of fires and other signals Hashed from this ever-visible tower. As one approaches this monstrous rock, his amazement nnd awe increases, because It seems Incredible that any force of Nature could have carved this solitary monument. To climb to Hie top would seem an impossibility, yet it is said that a number of years ago a man and a woman accomplished this feat successfully. Now that the war is behind us nnd Uncle Sam has more time to devote to home matters. It seems not unlikely i that he may-deem it advisable to send an expedition to the top of his new. possession and causey a series of stairways to be constructed for the accommodation and convenience: of venturesome tourists bent on getting acquainted with their own country.
