PIONEER OF WASHINGTON
WILL WASTE NO TIME
TACOMA. Feb. 13.—A 95-year-old
man has no time to waste, in the opin
ion of Ezra Meeker, trail blazer, who
in the early days crossed the plains
in a covered wagon and recently went
over the same route in an airplane.
Mr. Meeker visited a newspaper of
fice here and inquired for a friend. He
was asked to wait for him half an
hour.
“ Good gracious,” answered Meeker,
“I am 95 years old and I have no half
hours to spare.”
PUBLIC SAFETY COURSE
SAVES CHILDREN’S LIVES
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13—A reduc
tion of 21 per cent in child fatalities
due to motor vehicles has been made
through systematic teaching of safe
ty in the public schools of Los An
geles, it has been revealed in a check
made by the Automobile Club of Sou
thern California. .
The safety curriculum in Los Ange
les public schools was inaugurated
about three years ago thru the cooper
ation of the board of education and
the public safety department of the
automobile club. Children are given
practical instruction and in addition
they compete in designing posters' and
verses for bulletins used in the safe
ty movement. Diplomas are issued
to students completing the course.
Sam Kashenein of Lorein, O., was
sent to jail for 60 days for refusing
to kiss his wife after a quarrel.
Experiments are being made with
a device which discharges tear-gas
from a safe when it is being tampered
with by burglars. The invention may
also be applied to dc^-’s of buildings
not occupied by people at bight.
Participants in a crap game at a
club in Niagara Falls, New York,
were held up and robbed of $77,
000 by two masked men.

French Actor Pleased
With American Patrons
PARIS, Feb. III. Americans are all
heart, Firmln Qemter, great French
actor, director of the Odeon theatre,
told the American Club of Paris in re
lating bin impressions upon Ills return
from the United States. He went over
upon the invitation of the state de
partment as a return for the French
government’s courtesy in asking Jas.
K. Hackett to play in Paris two years
ago. “I want to go back and I will,”
said M. Gender. The American the
atres are well equipped and I can do
there the thinks I dream of.”
The American audience, the speaker
said, is keenly responsive. “Your
countrymen are sensitive, extraordi
narily so, almost as much so as the
French, and their emotion is deeper.”
To illustrate this he told of watching
a Molnar play in New York in which
occurs a highly emotional scene. The
audience, after three minutes of tense
ness, just as the curtain was falling,
began to laugh. M. Gemier, puzzled,
inquired of theatrical men about this
and was told it was because the
American playgoer’s sensitiveness to
emotional appeal was so thorough he
could not long sustain it, and laughed
as a natural reaction. “That is why,”
he explained, “your speakers, discuss
ing the most serious subject, throw in
two or three jokes.”
M. Gemier praised American thea
tres, American simplicity and honesty
of expression, and above all the free
dom from government control of art.

ten and primary supervisor of Los
Angeles city schools and chairman of
the general committee in California
has been appointed to manage the

Smoking a cigar while repairing the
gasoline line of his car caused an ex
plosion and the death of Milo Wil
liams of Portland, Ind.
CUPID HAD HAND IN
STEALING WIDOW’S CORN
BUDAPEST, Feb. 13—One of the
most unusual cases ever heard in
Hungary recently was before the court
jin the little provincial town of Osli,
when eight farmer boys caught in the
act, were charged with walking off
with 20 pounds of corn stolen from a
widow named Voeroes. They not only
pleaded not guilty despite the fact
that they admitted the theft, but pro
duced a sealed document from the
widow in which she declared that “she
and her daughter Sarika counted it
an honor that Franz Kiraly (the ring
leader of the eight) had considered
their house worthy of this distinction.
The judge was nonplussed. “I sup
pose the widow fears your vengeance”
he asked.
“No, your honor,” Franz replied, for
the group. “You see, in our part of
the country there is a custom by
which every year, after the corn has
been harvested, a large pot of corn
meal is placed on the stove in houses
where there are grown-up unmarried
daughters. The lover of the oldest
daughter must steal this corn. To
facilitate this theft the family leaves
the house for half a hour after the
corn meal has been placed on the
stove. The greatest disgrace that can
happen to the family consists in the
corn being left unstolen.”
The judge dismissed the case.
PEKING WELCOMES TROLLEYS
WITH CHEERFUL FESTIVITIES
PEKING, Feb. 13—The street rail
way has become an actuality in Pe
king after overcoming various techni
cal and financial difficulties, and much
opposition on the part of guilds and
chambers of commerce. Notwithstand
ing several postponments during the
past ten months, the enterprise has at
last been launched with appropriate
ceremonies, including the cutting of a
gigantic cake and official trolley par
ties in wonderfully bedecked cars.
Opposition to operation of the cars
has been based ostensibly on the hard
ship they would impose upon ricksha
coolies through loss of fares. The
French promoters, however, appear to
have known how to overcome it, and
among other things have promised to
build a factory wherein a lot of cool
ies can find employment.

SMILE OF FORTUNE DRIVE
BROTHERS INTO HIDING
PLEVEN, Bulgaria, Feb. 13—Two
brothers, plowing a field to plant it
to grapevines, recently turned up
some heavy objects that to their ig
norant eyes seemed like gold. They
were vases and statuettes, 15 in all.
To be on the safe side the two men
gathered up their finds and disappear
ed.
But rumor of the occurrence got
out and the local authorities started
to investigate. They found in the field
the cover of a vase that had been
overlooked. It weighed 90 grams and
an assay proved it to be pure gold.
The French aviator Callizo has
made a new airplane altitude record
of 39,485 feet.
Several converts were recently
baptised in a pool formerly used as
a whiskey distillery vat at Green

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
