While The Empire has never been able to see any chance for gain in the proposed Wilkins ex- ploration of the so-called “blind spot" in the Arc- tic, beyond the added information, of doubtful value, that would follow, it, with all others, regrets the failure of the expedition which been abandoned. It is all the more regretable on account of the failure of the Wilkins North Pole expedition last year. Capt. Wilkins has proved that the failure of his 8raph exploration venture is not due to lack of nerve or staying qualities. He made a brave effort to accom- plish what he set out to do, and was forced down on the Arctic ice and compelled to walk for days to get aid. That was no small hardship. But not-' withstanding that he started out again, this time to' fly to Greenland. He forced back : of the fog, and then decided to return and abandon the undertaking was on account to Fairbanks AN EFFECTIVE TEMI;ERAN(‘E SPEECH.

A boy's a trip to Washington, D. C., and Paris. The new emblem consists of a blue field with eight gold stars. The color of the field is indicative of the azure sky and the eight stars represent the seven forming the Big Dipper and the North Star, to which the familiar constellation points, The design is appropriate—more appropriate than the emblems selected for most of the States. Like nearly all other meritorious conceptions, the young Alaskan’s idea seems simple, and is, now that it has been given expression. Besides being a lasting tribute to the Seward boy, the flag proves he has both imagination and the ability to think-—gifts of rare value. Many Going to Alaska.

More or Less True No husband and wife can always agree, but there is no danger if every quarrel, like an actress, has ils make-up. The greatest need of the time is a kind of stocking that can make fat legs look thinner, and skinny ones fatter—and some of ‘em just invisible. A husband now has company—for these days teeth and ‘tonsils are blamed for almost as many things as he is. The reason there used to be fewer divorces was because the mother who had to nurse four or five children didn't have time to nurse every silly grievance. The sad part of it is that a lot of/ this petting and kissing will be fol- lowed by nagging and cussing. No mother ever hated her kid's pup as much as a husband does the pitiful excuse for a dog his wife lugs faround in her arms. There would be fewer divorces— and marriages—if two people could learn to know each other as well before marriage as they do after. Sonie girls look so sweet after they are fixed up you have an overwhelm- ing desire to kiss 'em, and some look so dern idiotic you have an over whelming desire to spank 'em. The fat envy the slender, and the skinny envy the plump, but we never heard of the rich envying the poor. Another husband who is as popular as bad news is the one who tells his wife the naked truth when she's got her appetite all get for a lot of applesauce. 0ld papers toe suiv at The Empire § OUR BEST OVR WORK 1§ OUR CAPITOL DYE WORKS C.
