CIVIC ASSETS
Tourists and visitors to Seward this sum
mer will no doubt gaze upon the ewe and
lambs frollicking about on the green
sward of Arcade park and then wonder if
this really is Alaska. They then can take a
walk down to the railway depot and look
over a couple of live reindeer.
Can any other town in Alaska boast of
civic assets such as these three, the Arcade
park, gamboling sheep and timid reindeer?
We think not
Because she chopped her husband’s body
in 215 separate and distinct pieces, a news
paper declares Alexia Prokohefi, aged 27,
“the worst wife in Russia/' The dispatch
fails to state who counted the pieces.
ROOSEVELT ON FORESTS
“And now, first and foremost, you can af
ford to forget for one moment what is the
object of our forest policy. That object is
not to preserve the forests because they are
beautiful, though that is good in itself, nor
because they are refuges for the wild crea
tures of the wilderness, though that, too. is
good in itself, but the primary object of our
forest policy, as of the land policy of the
United States, is the making of prosperous
homes. It is part of the traditional policy
of home making of our country. Every
other consideration comes as secondary.
The whole effort of the government in deal
ing with forests must be directed to this
end, keeping in view the fact that it is not
only necessary to start the homes as pros
perous, but to keep them so. That is why
the forests have to be kept You can start
a prosperous home by destroying the for
ests, but you cannot keep it prosperous that
way. Forestry is the preservation of for
ests by wise uses.”
Psychologist says a man should never
argue with his wife. But what is the poor
critter going to do? He’s gotta go home
once in a while.
PRINCELY GIFT PLANNED
Poor children of Westchester county,
New York, will one day have a magnificent
school and training institution through the
munificent gift promised by John E. An
drus in an announcement made recently on
his 85th birthday.
Mr. Andrus is head of a great chemical
company at Yonkers and is estimated to be
worth about $100,000,000, of which he pro
poses to give 45 per cent for the endowment
of the institution, to be established after his
death.
For many years Mr. Andrus has been the
donor of large gifts for worthy purposes.
He started in life poor and relates that he
made his first dollar selling fish to Horace
Greeley, 75 years ago. Now that he is near
ing the end of his career his thoughts have
turned to those who may find it difficult
to get a start without a helping hand.
The institution which his millions are to
establish will be a splendid mounment to
his useful life and his thoughtfulness for
thousands of children yet unknown.
LADY GOVERNOR TALKS
Governor Nelhe Taylor Ross of Wyo
ming has displayed a lot of good sour*d
sense since she has occupied the position of
chief executive of her state, and has not
evinced a disposition to unduly seek the
limelight.
Therefore, her views on problems of the
day, particularly those concerning women,
are worthy of consideration. In a recent
address to an organization of Girl Scouts,
of which she is an honorary member, she
said:
| *'I am old-fashi oner, enough to believe
that no career for women is as glorious or
satisfying as that which wifehood and
motherhood offers, and it is there she fid
fills her highest destiny.''*
But Mrs. Ross also defended the modem
girl and declared that modem dress is not
only more sensible, but promotes health
and grace. She said that the girl of today
is fortunate in living in an age when prac
tically every restraint is removed that
could repress a girls happy spirit or han
dicap her progress and sue should use her
liberty as a means of development into the
finest type of womanhood.
It appears that Governor Ross has sane
ly sensed the situation et^he modem girl
and that her conclusions and advice are
eminently sound.
Before being awarded diplomas in the
home economics course a: the Michigan
State college a: East Lansing, the co-eds
must eat an appreciable quantity of the
I food they prepare, as a pan of thedr nnal
examination. Truly an exacting test.
Lev. Ira Landrith. national secretary of *
Christian Endeavor societies.. advocates
the installation of ‘'courting booths” in al i
: churches. He wisely observes that *y&saici
' people must get together in some way, and’
if the church does not supply the means'
they will find less desirable surroundings
for their love-making."
BLOOD TEST FOR CANCER
Last week it was announced by do less jqi*
authority than Dr. H. M. Mitchell. senior;
surgeon of the Liverpool Cancer hospital
that a method of detecting cancer by blood
tests had been discovered.
The new method is the result of research
es by a German scientist, whose name has
not yet been made public according to Dr,
Mitchell, who seems confident, however,
that the discoverer marks a very important j
advance in medical science.
He predicts that it wffi enable doctors to'
detect cancerous conditions before the ma
lignant growths ha~e actual;;- if.*: -pet
thus making preventive treatment possible
; through means already being employed
with considerable success.
While many reported discoveries in the
past have only served to raise false hopes in
the minds of sufferers and their families,
it seems that sooner or later an effective
method of controlling this most dreaded
malady must be found.
It is at least encouraging to know that
many of the ablest investigators in the
world are devoting their best though and
labors to the baffling problem.

Inmates of jails in the City of Mexico are

the custom in the United States, the sob

Adherents of a queer sect in the moun
tains of New Mexico torture themselves by
walking over cactus and share stones dur
ing the Easter season, as a religious duty.
Still some supposedly civilized people among
us seem to believe that the Almighty is
pleased to see us make ourselves miserable
all the time.
