Phone Main 0400 THE ONLY COURT THAT GETS ‘SEASICK D° YOU know where the most unique court in the Alaska, and it's known asthe “floating court.” If you'll get out the old school geography and look at the Aleutiay Island group, off the Alaska peninsula, you'll see where the “floating court does tmsiness, The Alaska peninsula and the Aleutian + world is located It's in islands comprise the third judicial division of Alaska, and covers a stretch of territory which, if placed on the map of the United States, would extend cast and west as tar as from San Francisco to Chicago. There are several hundred of these islands almost entirely by Aleuts, who gain their livel hood by fishing, sealing and walrus and sea lion hunting | The problem of administering justice along this stretch if of islands is a difficult one. The department of justice if has solved it this way about July Ist, the secretary of the treasury details a revenue cutter for the use of the department of justice, This year the McCul loch, commanded by Capt. B. L. Reed, has been assigned for the service. The boat proceeds to Valdez, Alaska, on Prince William sound, and takes aboard United States District Judge Frederick M. Brown, Court Marshal F. R Brenneman, the clerk, prosecuting attorney and other court attaches, together with a grand jury Then this “floating court’—the only one of its kind in the world—proceeds west, stopping at the principal places in the islands, down through the group to Unalaska and then up into Bering sea. ‘The trip lasts two months, and the court hears all the cases that have accumulated since the previous summer—for the trip can only be made in summer. Naturally enough, court costs are high. Witnesses have sometimes to make journeys of many hundreds of miles, and witness fees have run up to $1,000 for a single witness at times. They do say, too, that the court gets pretty seasick sometimes, for the currents run strong between the fff] islands and the sea gets angry even in summer * * . A Question of Interest to All Mothers *A RE the richest kiddies the happiest in the land are the happiest babies the richest in the land? inhabited native | Every year various * * « The millionaire mother who raises her little son like @ crown prince and has him guarded as if he were going to some day inherit a throne, thinks her baby the happiest in the land, but other fond mothers think she is mistaken. They believe that only a “poor” baby can be really happy When the “poor” child is a babe in arms the mother hangs over it, puts the tiniest stitches in the precious baby dresses and kisses it at every cry. When it begins to walk and falls over the threshold is it is the mother and not a stern governess, who runs and picks him up This “poor” baby is left to play alone sometimes given a chance to spill a bottle of ink or pour mamma's best.perfume out of the window “to see it wain.” This baby can play in a sand pile on pleasant days and have countless pans and dishes to pass the time away 1 make mud pies and play with rag dolls and have just oodles of fun! As the last hours of the day draw near baby tries to make the best of the time that is left him. The rattles fattle louder than ever, the toy horses rock harder and ‘the small voices get stronger and shriller. Baby doesn’t i need a maid to put him to bed and stay with him because he knows the bogey-man can't get him while mamma is near. Rag dolls, mud pies and is denied the richest babies f That's what makes us think these rich babies the happiest babies. Do you? ‘s _* ee oH ® Lessons of Chicago’s Strike HICAGO’S street car strike, brief as it was, gave two lessons to labor and to citizens generally. It revealed the existence of a co-operative agreement pe tween public service corporations in our great cities | New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other public utilities corporations hastily allied themselves to assist ifthe Chicago traction magnates. Six thousand strike breakers were recruited in 36 hours and were either in Chicago 6r en route when arbitration was agreed and often times even mamma are not Chicago's police estimated that 20 per cent of the strike breakers who reached the city were criminals The lesson to labor is that they must think as far | ahead as do the magnates, who evidently had spent months ‘getting ready for the strike, or to resist the just demands for salary increases. The lesson to Chicago and other cities is that the importation of strike breakers means fan increase in crime and criminals. _s oS q * Water and a Duck’s Back EDITOR THE STAR: | have a duck and when he goes on the lake his feathers never get wet, Chickens’ feathers get wet when water is thrown on m. Tell me about the duck and how he keeps from getting wet. MILORED. If your duck ever gets wet at all he--or she—never ‘gets very wet and that’s because nature has provided ‘all ducks with rain coats—that is, coats of oil. A duck gets his oil supply from an oil gland which you'll find ‘on his back near his tail if he'll let you make an in- tigation. This gland makes a great deal of oil and | when the greasy stuff is smeared over the duck’s feathers it makes them very smooth. As you know, oil and water will not mix, and when water splashes over those oily ‘feathers it splashes right off again, leaving the duck as dry as ever. And that’s why you sometimes hear folks say of some ‘one who is indifferent about certain things—‘it rolls off Tike water from a duck’s back.” a ie ae a ae EVEN OLD SOL smiled sympathy, good cheer, and loyalty when the citizens of Seattle celebrated Wilson | Day. ae Te oe a i TACOMA’S POPULATION is now reported at 103, 000.
