PATRIOTIC TALK
GIVEN BY AN ELK
While the Benevolent and Protec
tive Order of Elks has no lodge in
Anchorage tne local members of this ;
fraternal organization follow the na
tional custom of fostering and as
sisting in every patriotic movement.
The program as carried out in An
chorage observing Memorial Day was ;
largely due to the efforts of W. T.
Normilo, president of the local club,
and hi saddress during the exercises
at the bridge was so appropriate
that the Daily Times feels that it is
deserving of a larger audience. He
spoke as follows:
"Separated, tho’ we are, by many
miles of open ocean, from the main
body of our country, we are still
sons and daughters of America.
For America is our love, with Ameri
ca is our faith, to America is our
royalty. We are sharers in her his
tory, we are joint makers of her fu
ture. Here in this far northland,
where the same tasks that our fa
therg go well performed, fall to our
lot, wp feel that we should be united
to the homeland In every exhibi
tion of affection and patriotism.
Wherefore such a day as this cannot
pass by us unnoted and unobserved.
The greater sons and daughters of
America "who have preceded us in
the making of history shoull be
dear especially to us asd their mem
ory should be cherished with especial
tesderness. For this reason, in rec
ogn.tlon and gratitude to ourselves
osnition asd gratitule to our sires
fortheir sacrifices of blood and treas
ure and tears, and the good of all
men. we cast these wreaths of joyful
mourning into the waters of the sea.
be symbolic of that holy union which
receives these tributes at our hands,
be symbolic of that holy usion which
binds us to our native land ”

The War Nurse
- - —
The rack of war Is hers—the untold agony
Of seeing woe her hands cannot relieve.
For her, the strain of watching those
who grieve
For some dear voice to soothe their mis
ery;
Some well loved form to bend in sym
pathy
, Above their beds when death is beck
oning.
Yet, though war’s horrors grip her heart
and cling
! Like very vultures, she must still smile on.
I By her a hundred victories must be won—
I Health, strength restored through her
fidelity—
That these, her patients, may go forth
once more
To brave the fury that the cannons pour.
Should one weak fear against her heart
strings press,
One feeble groan brings self forgetfulness.
—Lurana Sheldon in New York Times.
FRENCH CANAL OPENED
UNDER A MOUNTAIN
Waterway From Marsaiilea to River
Rhone at Last Complete.
The canal under the mountain be
tween Marseilles, France, and the
river Rhone, constituting one of the
most notable engineering achievements
of modern times, was officially opened
the other day In the presence of a dis
tinguished gathering of members of the
j cabinet and other offleia's.
Hitherto Marseilles, although a great
port of entry for the Mediterranean,
has been walled in from central France
by a mountainous ridge that sweeps
around the northern side of the city.
The canal Is chiefly remarkable In that
It pierces this barrier, the waterway
running for five miles In a tunnel un
! der a mountain. It thus has the effect
of linking Marseilles with Inland cities
j such as Lyons, Avignon and Valence
i and putting it in touch with the ex
tensive inland commerce along the
river Rhone. It will also give Mar
seilles a direct water connection with
Havre and the North sea.
The canal and Its tuunel have been
under discussion for nearly a hundred
years, but actual work on them was
not begun until 11XH. The length of
the canal Is sixty miles, and the five
mile section under the mountain is
seventy-five feet wide and seventy feet
high, constituting what is declared to
be the largest tunnel interior in the
world. Barges and vessels up to GOO
tons can navigate the canal, wnich,
like the Kiel canal. It Is believed, will
h8ve strategic value In permitting the
movement of destroyers and small
warcraft between the Mediterranean
and the North sea. The cost of the
work has been about 100,000,000 francs.
TAKES FORTUNE OF $200,000.
Miss Kitching Decides to Accept Un
cle’s "Tainted Money."
Exercising woman's prerogative of
changing her mind. Miss Edith Klteh
ing, who has been living In New York
on $3 a week, has notified the surro
gate's court that she accepts the $200,
000 fortune of her deceased uncle, Fran,
els F. Ripley. On moral grounds she
had previously refused to accept even
the $40,000 he specifically left her.
"I have not studied philosophy for
twenty-five years not to l>e aide to
weigh the right and wrong of my first
impulse," said Miss Kitching. “I have
reasoned It out. When tainted money
Is passed on to another person that per
son can use It In a way to remove the
taint so far as she Is concerned."
The court ignored certain charitable
Intentions of Ripley’s because he had
not taken the required legal steps to
divide his wealth and informed Miss
Kitching she was the sole heir. Miss
Kitching says she will use the money
In doing good. Ripley amassed it prin
cipally through mortgages and other
operations to which Miss Kitching ob
jected.
“KEEP ON KISSING,” HE SAYS.
Doctor Tell* Girl* All Talk About
Germs Is Tommyrot.
"Keep on kissing, girls; don't be
afraid of the germs.”
This Is the advice given by Dr.
Charles E. Page, head of the Boston
Health school, after criticising the re
marks of Dr. C. V. Chapin, the Provi
dence health official, who In his talk
before tbe Harvard Medical school put
the ban on all kissing.
“We're getting germ crazy.” said Dr.
Page. “Now we have put the ‘bug’ into
kissing. Do you suppose all this tom
myrot about kissing will be heeded?
“Why should we frighten courting
couples? I’ve been a physician a num
ber of years, but I’ve spent all my time
lu rebutting testimony from physicians
which Is mere speculation and does
more harm than good, and I can
prove It”
AEROS GET RADIO SIGNALS.
Now Device Enables Aviators to Get
Instructions While In Air.
Gugllelmo Marcoul lias just arrived
In London from Italy with news of lm
portant and farreucbiug wireless de
velopments. He says:
“The new developments make It dlf
flcult for the enemy to intercept or tap
messages. The Improvements also ap
ply to instruments on aeroplanes and
airships.
“Hitherto aeroplanes have been at a
disadvantage, because while able to
transmit messages, they have been un
able to receive, owing to the noise of
the engine drowning out the wireless
signals. Now we are able to strengthen j
the receiving signals sufficiently to en
able messages to be taken.” ,
