GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF' ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE SALVATION ARMY. So long as the Salvation Army Is in the field| the public may feel certain that there is an unceas-) ing fight for hungry and shelterless bodies \\'ilhl human souls in them, as well as for souls in hungry| bodies that have no abiding places. This uniformed army of salvation—seeking first of all to keep sou]s; and bodies together for unnumbered Lhousands} throughout the world—must somehow, somewhere find food and shelter and clothing which are its/ munitions of war upon want and distress which it is by day and night waging on behalf of those who are “down.” A writer in the New York Times, on “Neighborli- ness,” recently said: Many cannot wait until political parties work out their elaborate systems, or until experts in sociology analyze their statistical data upon which they will base a plan which may or may not help us in the next period of depression, because the situation facing us then will probably be entirely different. The need for help exists today. There is many a man who has reached extremity, after having exhausted every pos- sible resource that he can think of. He can be given a fresh start only as some personal friend or good neighbor comes to his rescue, proving that “a brother is born for ad- versity.” It is in times like those described that the Salvation Army'’s great worth stands out. Truly its men and women workers are as brothers and sisters “porn in adversity.” Its uses become sweet in their ministries. In the truest sense, they are Good Samaritans. They do not pass by on the other side | of the street when there is some one who needs| a helping hand within sight or sound. Those who best informed of their service are first to attest to its effectiveness and impartiality. This week, the local station of the Salvation Army puts before the people of this city its modest request for funds to carry on for another year. The‘ funds derived from last year's drive are about ex- hausted and more will have to be forthcoming if it is to be continued. It is asking for $1,000, a pittance when one gonsiders the scope and quality of the work it has done during the past 12 months. Staff Commander Acton, Capt. Lesher and their co- workers ought to have no difficulty in reaching the desired goal despite the fact that many other causes have to be taken care of by local people this year. The Army's work is done every day in the year without let-up. It is too valuable to be permitted to slacken and cease through insufficient financial support. MANY STATES REVIVE ART OF MAKING SOAP. Last year witnessed a noticeable revival of soap making on farms, reports the Extension Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Farm housewives in some sections of the country have made a little soap now and then as a matter of economy, but this old household art had, until recently, almost disappeared in many sections. A report to the department from South Dakota shows what can be saved by making soap at home. In 1932 farm families in 27 counties in that State reported making soap under the guidance of exten- sion agents. Valuing laundry soap at 6 cents a pound, the soap made in these counties last year was worth more than $2,500. In Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and other States home demonstration agents have encouraged soap making on the farms as one of the ways to avoid cash outlay and make use of a farm waste. County home demonstration agents can usually supply instructions for making soap at home. ECONOMY IN EDUCATION. Isolated voices have cried out for years in the wild- erness against the costly expansion of the school system, including tax-supported colleges and uni- versities. But these voices were ignored in boom times; even after, when the pinch of economic necessity began to make itself felt, they were fre- quently unheeded because they were the voices of laymen unfamiliar with the difficult, specialized and esoteric art of teaching and school administration. At last these laymen have experts on their side. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, in its twenty-seventh annual report, ad- vocated economic retrenchment by the nation’s schools of higher education. The Foundation is properly interested in seeing this retrenchment made in a manner that will cause a minimum of “human hardships” among the personnel of the schools. industry—reform, retrenchment and the return to a simpler and more sincere conception of the tax- supported education the State should offer.” The manner in which this can be accomplished is set forth concisely in the following sentence by Dr. Henry 8. Pritchett, President Emeritus of the Foundation: “The courses in study should be fewer and simpler and should look to the training of the habits of the mind rather than the furnishing of information.” That sentence embodies the entire aim of edu- cation, an aim and ideal from which our colleges and universities have wandered far at ‘little profit and with much expense. In his valedictory speech at New York last month, President Hoover said we were in the pres- ence of an “incipient” economic war. There is at least nothing incipient about the war into which President Roosevelt -stepped from -the inaugural parade. In order to be a financial big shot, one only has to be able to borrow, or loan as the case may be, million of dollars on little o¥ no. security, if the testimony brought out by the Senate Banking Committee can be believed. ‘While that rustling sound to be heard every- where these days is Spring’s first sign, it isn’t caused by stirring of nature’s children beneath the soil. It's the turning of the leaves of seed catalogs by the hopeful home gardener. Postponed Subjugation. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) Mere man is undoubtedly doomed to inevitable and complete subjugation by womankind. Those who claim ability to peer into the future see man as a shriveled, miserable non-entity of but Iittle corfsequence in the great scheme of things. Prognos- ticating biologists are agreed on that eventuality. But men should take heart. A bright light shines through the murk and gloom of masculine despair. Many of the advertisements intended for women are indicative of the subtle power of propaganda. They are apparently drafted by men and will do much to undermine the inherent aggressiveness of women. The wings of the Amazons are being clipped. Mum is the word! For example, we find a pitiful illustration of a worn and tired woman staring into space in utter hopelessness because she does not own a Hoozit vacuum cleaner and is therefore chained forever, a slave to her housework. We turn a page, and an- other tear-wringing advertisement depicts what, but for her utter discouragement, would be an attractive matron. It seems that she has not discovered Excelso soap chips, to free her from a life of back- breaking drudgery at the washtub. Then there is the agonizing spectacle of her who has washer- woman hands and is unable to appear in public. Another forceful ad warns women of the dire perils of pink toothbrush and B. O. The horror of athlete’s foot are emblazoned in countless magazines. Even if woman does overcome such deficiencies and struggle through soul and body-scarring labors, she may only live to find some very dear friends politely whispering to each other that she has rings in her |bathtub and must therefore shun contact with all respectable society. Then there are those punchy ads that show fair woman in a perpetual quandary as to the particular coloring of fingernails prescribed for various func- tions, and many other equally vital and pressing| issues. Truly, women are seriously bowed down| with the keenest of suffering and unutterable grief. | And because of the load under which they are stag- gering, we men may well breathe a silent prayer of thankfulness that our subjugation probably will| be mercifully delayed—at least until the deadly sex can concentrate their attention upon our complete emasculation, as above referred to with what we trust is pardonable facetiousness. Quand Madelon. (New York Herald Tribune.) Most Americans in the Expeditionary Forces learned enough of the chorus of “La Madelon’ to take their part in a buvette rendering of it, feet and beer bottles accenting the wayward rhythm and making up for the lines that were never learned. Some Norman with a mustache like Vercingetorix, standing on a chair or table, would take care of the words of verse and chorus all right. ‘What he sang was praise of an ivy-covered cabaret named Touroulou down on the edge of the woods, where the girl who serves the drinks is young and charm- ing, light as a butterly, with an eye that sparkles like her wine; they call her “Madelon,” and when she serves us our drinks she doesn't mind a little dalliance; she knows how to lmugh it off, Madelon does. Those who never learned what came after the opening words of the chorus but sang the song mixed with some honest ordinaire thousands of times, who put heart in themselves in bad times with it, will warmly applaud a recent award of the Legion of Honor Cross to M. Camille Robert “Madelon’s” com- poser who had given up song writing as a thankless trade two years before he composed, few will dissent, the ‘most-sung and most-loved of all war songs of the Allied troops in France; a piece quite without martial rhetoric or ardor, that penetrates to nothing and has no sour echoes today, seventeen years after its first popularity. Welcome Positron. (New York World-Telegram.) Add to the growing world language of science the word “positron.” It is the name of the fourth fundamental particle of matter, the positive electron or a sort of disembodied entity of electricity of opposite sort to the negatively charged electron that lies at the basis of the vast new electronics in- dustry that has made radio, talkies and electric (combination of SYNOPSIS: Lieut.

We're going to fight that duel now, and fight it properly, for there is a cartridge in the revol- ver, this time. I give you my word of honor there is. And as the brilliant idea was yours, you shall have the first turn.” And, banking on his luck the good Le Sage would grin and take the revolver, and put it to his thick and pull the trigger.

The Juneau Construction Com- pany had finished plans for the hotel building to be erected by James McCloskey, Jules B. Caro and Charles E. Hooker. P. J. Gemmett has a ten year lease on the building and had decided to The Juneau Commercial Club was host at a smoker in honor of the Alaska Legislators. "Mr. John Hellenthal, the first speaker at the banquet, was followed on the pro- gram by a toast to Jack Dalton, trail blazer, and speeches by Dele- zate Wickersham, Representative Gaffney, Senator Millard, Senator Ray, Col. Charles E. Ingersoll, and songs were sung by Representative Jones and J. Frederick Johnstone. The fact that there was no coal in the city bunkers was causing the city no concern. Two hundred tons were enroute to Juneau on the Santa Ana, and would arrive within a couple of days. Manager John Olds found it necessary to increase the bar ser-) vice in his hotel by inaugurating the eight-hour shift with three sets of attendants. A large crowd assembled in the Lyric Theatre, Douglas, to make arrangements for a good baseball|i team to represent its city during the approaching baseball season. Charles Price was elected perma- nent chairman and Jack Hensen, secretary of the baseball commit- tee formed. Little Eleanor Murphy, was on the sick list.
