TO THE VOTERS
It is time for the people of this Division to realize
that there always comes a time for a change, in every
thing, and in this particular instance there is going to be
a change in the Delegate to Washington—Thomas A.
Marquam will be elected at the polls November 2. That’s
a flat statement!
There is considerable talk from Sutherland’s sup
porters but THE TIME FOR A CHANGE HAS COME!
The people of this Division want to see their districts
forge ahead, not held back by petty larceny, personal
grievances, muck raking and continual turmoil from
within.
What particular instance can citizens of this district
point to and say Sutherland did that? Not a one! Let
the mud slinging continued if it will but clear, sober men
talities will arrive at the conclusion stated above, a new
delegate will go to Washington this year. BETTER
GET IN LINE!
TEACHING NAVAL SCIENCE
One of the chief difficulties faced by the country dur
ing the war was the scarcity of suitable officer material
for the army and navy. Over night, almost, the navy’s
need for officers rose from 4,500 to 40,000. A recent an
nouncement from Yale university shows that a lesson has
been learned, however, and that steps have been taken to
prevent a similar shortage.
For the first time in its history, Yale is offering a
course in naval science in order to “satisfy the ever-grow
ing need of knowledge in maritime affairs and to provide
a means of efficient expansion of our naval forces in time
of national emergency.” The classes will be conducted by
officers of the navy, graduates of the Naval Academy,
and the course will lead not only to a college degree but
to a commission in the United States naval reserves as
well. Sixty freshmen already have indicated their inten
tion to pursue the six-year course, five years of which will
be devoted to basic work and the last year to advanced
training.
Navy cutters are provided by the government so that
the students may gain proficiency in handling small boats
under oars and sails. Motorboats will become the lab
oratories iii which the care and use of gas engines will be
studied. Along with other equipment provided by the
Navy department is a set of models of old-time sailing
ships, civil war vessels, cruisers and modem battleships.
Since this work is to be given without sacrificing any of
the regular academic courses, it should prove of excep
tional value. Provision of officer material, while vitally
important, will not be the only accomplishment, for these
groups of young men going out from year to year into
the country, thoroughly schooled in knowledge of the
navy, the sea, ships and the problems which their efficient
operation .entail, will be peculiarly well equipped to take
their places in international, commercial and political
life.
QUAINT AMERICAN CUSTOMS
Last Wednesday was Egg day at Petaluma. A group
of egg-eating champions contested for honors, and many
other amusing and lively chicken events, including a
chicken-chasing battle, the dance of the golden eggs, in
which a group of pretty Petaluma poultry girls took part,
and an egg battle took place with great success.
If you don’t vote you have no right to kick. Remem
ber that November 2.
If a man fails, that’s hard luck; if he succeeds, that’s
foresight and native ability.
$50,000 is to be spent in gas research. When they get
thru in the Senate they might investigate Alaska before
November 2..
DON'T OVERLOOK
READING THIS ONE
The following is clipped from the
last issue of Capper’s Weekly and ex
plains itself:
Americans in Alaska live in a high
ly electrified atmosphere during the
winter which has strange effect on
their daily lives. There is so much
static in the air, writes Mary Lee Da
vis, in Scribner, that one cannot walk
across a room and touch another body
without generating a long, snappy
electric spark. The Davis airedale
soon learned this and when he crosses
the rug of the living room, he always
turns his head aside and down as he
snuggles to be petted, knowing that
otherwise his black wet nose will re
ceive a bee-like sting. In winter no
one dares to clean a garment in gaso
line. Two women of Mrs. Davis’ ac
quaintance were burned to death in
so doing. Just the friction of lifting
the material from the gasoline, pro
duces sparks in the electrified air,
and an explosion. By February the
more nervously organized persons suf
fer from this surcharge of electricity
in the atmosphere and become irrit
able. By the end of March they are
avoiding or hating one another. But
when spring comes the grouch passes
quickly and neighbors who have not
spoken for weeks greet one another
on the street . . . Perhaps some
of our moods might be accounted for
in some such way.

COMEDY ACTION ROMANCE THRILLS
It presents a nice balancing of human interest, romance and
thrills with pathos and comedy. In many scenes the pathos and
comedy are closely intermingled with a smile for every tear.
