JACKSON HOLE iq FAST
BECOMING CIVIC CENTER
DENVER: Isolated Jackson Hole
In Western Wyoming, famous as one
of the iast Western rejreats and hav
ens of refuge for train robbers, cattle
thieves and other outlaws embraces
now a snowbound chapter of the Red
Cross that is considered by Red Cross
mountain division headquarters the
most unique in the country.
The membership of the chapter is
4 55 persons, scattered over a wide ex
panse of territory. The only outlet to
Jackson Hole for eight months of the
year is a single wagon road over Tet
on Pass. Through the winter months
the members are much more accus
tomed to seeing herds of from 1,000
to 2,000 elk than they are a single
human besides members of their own
households. Today with the exception
of newspapers and telephone “The
Hole" is like the rest of the West was
fifty years ago.
but it is not only for the soldiers
that the Red Cross chapter has been
a benefit. Until it was organized, Lee
Cooper, its secretary, says that mo
tion pictures, lectures, Y. M. C. A. or
Red Cross organizations never had
penetrated the valley. Most houses are
built of logs and snow makes travel
difficult in winter, but the chapter has
a record with the division headquar
ters for knitting and giving other sup
plies for the troops.

this time gradually augments In inten

suddenly becomes very profound,
reaching its maximum intensity at
about 11:30 o'clock. Within five or six
minutes from this time it has been
found that the sleep begins to be less
