It would make a good story in the
sweltering east and possibly tend to
alleviate the intense situation where
even the breath of the tale would
have a cooling effect and it may
sound strange and fictitious to the
newcomer but the following story is
truth and not fiction coming from the
reliable source of Chief Warded and
substantiated by the victim of frozen
feet who was brought into Anchorage
Sunday morning. According to his
own story Henry Jacobson, a strong,
■husky longshoreman in the prime of
life, was en route from Seward to
Anchorage over the trail, coming to
this city to seek employment with the
Commission.
He made the trip as far as Glacier
creek without mishap, but found the
Glacier creek ford impassable on ac
count of the high water and he at
tempted to go around the head of the
creek, which finds its source in the
mountain of ice in that vicinity. As
he was wearing leather boots, with
out corks, the going was too slippery
he foolishly removed his boots and
made the circuit in this manner nad
as a result froze both feet, the left
one quite severely.
He was fortunate in finding some
old gunny sack and with this for cov
ering made the distance of 40 miles
to Tom Bush’s road house at Mile 18,
being forced to crawl the last few
miles, taking him over two hours to
make the last mile.
Mr. Bush telephoned in to Chief
Warded, who sent Nagle, the transfer
man after Jacobson, returning Sun
day. Jacobson was taken to the fed
eral jail where he is being treated by
Dr. Kyvig, who says the injuries are
very painful but not necessarily fatal
and that Jacobson would be out and
around in a week or ten days.

Women’s Clubs Have
Supplanted Social
Caste In This Country
By R«v. Dr. PERCY STICKNEY
GRANT, Church of the As.
ceniion, New York
O-----_<,
IN' face of your great organization,
General Federation of Women’s
Clubs, I see no place left in
American life for the society leader
or the woman of only social influ
ence. YOUB LEADERSHIP IS
OF THE RRAIN AND THE
HEART UNITED FOR HUMANE
AND PATRIOTIC PURPOSES.
The woman’s club is the instru
ment and symbol of woman’s new
place. The club is the co-operation
school of social .service in which all
topics that seem to women to per
i tain to the welfare of the state are
taught and discussed.
In her new place woman has two
things io do. She must face the
problems of home cleaning and of
bouse enlargement.
PREVENTABLE DISEASE, WAR,
A HIGH DEATH RATE — ALL
THESE ARE YOUR ENEMIES.
CLEAN UP NOT ONLY THE DE
FECTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE HU
MAN MATERIAL, BUT DEFECTIVE
AND DESTRUCTIVE IDEAS.
