IN DEMID NOW
AT COOK INEEI
According to advices received in
Xenana on the last mail from An
chorage, the Government town at
the coast end of the railroad is
experiencing a shortage of young
men, with the result that the few
who are there are very much in de
mand by the Anchorage young la
dies, of whom there are an abund
ance. “The town looks worse than
Nenana did,” writes one young lady,
“after the boys had answered the
call to the colors.”
The situation, as viewed by An
chorage girls, is a serious one, and
several of the young ladies are seri
ously considering migration to the
States, where the odds are not quite
so great. A long winter in Alaska
without escorts does not look good
to them.
The arrival recently at Anchorage
of a former well-known resident
of Nenana, of good appearance and
not too many years, is reported to
have created a big stir in the coast
town, and the indications were that
his time would be very much occu
pied.
SHORTAGE OF PRINTERS
EXISTS IN THE STATES
NEW YORK. — Information that
there is a shortage of men in the
printing and publishing industries
and that there are exceptionally
good opportunities for the employ
ment of discharged soldiers and sail-;
ors in that field has been received
at the office here of Colonel Arthur
Woods, assistant secretary of war.
The announcement adds that there
is room in the printing industry not
only for apprentices, but for men of
past experience and considerable ed
ucation.
Denver and other places in Col
orado are said to be short of print
ers, and, according to the announce
ment, similar reports have been re
ceived from Iowa and from other
states all over the country.
ENGLAND MAY RETURN
TO WHEELED THEATERS
LONDON.—A scheme is on foot
here to build theaters on motor lor
ries for the purpose of touring
country districts. It would be a
return to the methods of the drama's
infancy in England. The old mys
tery plays of the sixteenth century
were performed on platforms on
wheels, and the theater was wheeled
from point to point.

HIGH PRICE OF
STRAWBERRIES ISf
DUE TO DRY LAW
| PHILADELPHIA.—Prohibition in
i directly produced an extraordinary
condition in the strawberry market
this year.
j Prices went higher than ever be
jfore because a Chicago packing
house opened what was said to be
the largest fruit preserving plant
in the world in the heart of the
strawberry district of Delaware and
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and
bought the product of great berry
[producing fields virtually without re
[gard to cost to meet the tremendous
demand for ice cream and soft
1 drinks produced by the “dry” peri
od.
Strawberries that normally sold
for from 5 to 10 cents a quart were
snapped up at from 30 to 37 cents.
The price to the consumer never
i
went below.- 30 cents this season.
Strawberry syrup for flavoring soda
water, formerly sold at 65 cents a
gallon, is now quoted at S3.50 a
gallon.
Farmers are elated. Many' of
them made an average of $1,000 an
acre on their strawberry crop, and
they are looking forward to big
profits next year.
The packers, when the strawberry
season was over, sent their employ-es
to other work and closed the fac
tory.

PROFESSOR CAUTIONS
PUBLIC AGAINST KICK IN
HOME-MADE ROOT BEER
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Root beer
made at home may not always be
as innocent as its name. Professor
Charles H. LaWail, dean of the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy,
cautions the public to look out for
the kick. The home brew, he finds,
has an alcoholic content of 1.77
per cent.
“It will take gallons to produce
the familiar dizziness,” he said, "but
it may provide some exhilaration."
“I was surprised recently,” de
clared Professor LaWail, “to notice
a friend coughing a little after
drinking several glasses of home
made root beer. I became inter
ested and began an analysis of some
of the beverage. The result was
surprising. I found that the alco
holic content was much greater than
I had supposed.
“I discovered that after standing
five days the beverage contained
.53 per cent of alcohol; after ten
days the percentage jumped to 1.36,
and a day or so later had jumped to
1.77. The alcohol comes from a
natural fermentation.”
SIR ERIC DRUMMOND.
LONDON’.—Sir Erie Drummond,
the first secretary-general of the
League of Nations, is a man in the
early forties, of about middle
height, with alert, rather humorous
eyes and fine features. He is ex
ceedingly witty, a most excellent
companion, and can sparkle at a
dinner party as effectively as he can
draft a clause of a treaty.
Sir Eric is said to possess an
astonishingly complete knowledge of
the United States, and for some
years was a recognized authority in
the foreign office to be consulted on
American' affairs. He is said to
have a gift for international politics
that has served his country well in
several crises.
