frre public addresses in
days gave President Hoover oppor-
tunity to say a lot of things our
problems, our institutions our
prospects. His ulterances on each oc-
casion were dignified and well consid-
ered; they were praised by his admir-
ers and fellow Republicans, and belit-
tied by some Democrats and others who
do not agree with his national po

ATER in the day the President ap-
peared before the American Federa-
tion of Labor convention and gave the
workers of the nation a message of
hope and encouragement. He said that
co-operation resulting from confer-
ences which he initiated has materi-
ally minimized the adverse effects of
the business depression, that wage
levels have been generally maintained,
that industrial strife has been reduced
to a minimum and that some of the
slack in employment has been taken
up by the speeding up of public works
construction. He called for nation-wide
teamwork to pull the country out of
the slump and set it once more on the
high road to prosperity.
Referring to the displacement of as
many as 2000000 workers by labor
saving devices and a breakdown of
wages on account of destructive com-
petition, Mr. Hoover said that one key
"to a solution of the problem lies in

Record of Federal Geographic Board
Will Satisfy Curiosity
of Tourists.
Washington,—~Thousands of Yellow
stone park tourists who have wondered
vhence and by what authority
came such names as “Old Faithful”
geyser and “Broken Egg” spring will
find their curiosity gratified by ex-
planations accompanying recent de-
cisions of the United States geographic
board,

ologically from the earliest French
trappers to the latest dude tourists,
the board's collected decizions tell a
strange story of explorers’ adventures
and tourists’ Imagination,
The park iisc!? derives its name
from the Yellowstone river, known to
the Minnetaree Indians as “Mi tsl a
da zi” meaning “rock yellow river”
and adopted by early French explorers
as “Roche Jaune™ or “Yellow Rock.”
“Old Falthful™ was applied to the
most reliable geyser of the upper basin
by the Washburn party in 1870, and
was the first geyser in the park to
receive a name,
The Washburn party also named
the “Beehive,” because of the sym
metry of its cone, the “Castle,” be
cause its cone resembled a partially
ruined old feudal castle, and the
“Grand.”
The Gardiner river, from whence
the official northern entrance to the
park takes its name, was “probably
named for a trapper.”
Tourists’ whimsicality is shown In
the naming of “Factory hill,” 89.500
feet, supposed to resemble on a frosty
morning a factory In an active factory
town: and “chocolate pots,” thermal
sorings having small cones coated with
algae and iron, sald to look like choeo-
late.
