Impoverished Korean Peers
Employed As Cart Pullers
SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 30 (/P)—The
Korean nobility, with the exception
of a few propertied peers, is report
ed to be suffering from extreme pov
erty. Several of the nobles, who
were once wealthy, are now working
as i trf pullers and peitVining other
menial tasks as the on<y means of
Cofar-ng starvation.
A.: the time of the annexation <f
Korea by Japan, about 60 of the lend
aig Koreai s were create i p-.ors and
given property by the Japanese gov
.mme-iit. Most of them ran il*.u
this property rapidly. Recently 30
of the impoverished Korean nobles
sent a petition to the Japanese gov
ernment asking for financial assist
ance.
Lawyers Would like
Official Part In the
Election of Judges
SEATTLE, Sept. 30. (^—Contend
ing that the average layman does
not know the qualifications of judi
cial candidates, the Washington Siafe
liar association is r * Jivs* .y amend
ments to state election laws where
by members of the legal profession
could indicate their preferences in
candidates for the bench.
The proposal, which originated at
a rec*;« state convji.* a won J net
i.'itei' :re with the present method of
voting, members if tin* association
explain. After filings for judge ships
have been made, the lawyers would
take a vote on the candidates and
make an endorsement. This recom
mendation would be printed on the
official ballots under the name of
the approved candidate.
The association believes thousands
of voters would be guided by the
endorsements.
A counter suggestion, proposed by
a local newspaper in a humorous
vein, would exclude lawyers rom
voting for judges on the ground of
prejudice.
Much Driving Hurts Eyes
After a long drive always wash
your eyes with simple camphor, witch
hazel, hydrastis, etc., as mixed in
Lavbptik eye wash. This removes
dust and germs and counteracts ef
fects of wind and sun. Stops dryness
and burning.—Seward Drug Company.

German University Shatters
Age-Old Education Tradition
PEIPSIC, Sept. 30. (JP)—'The first
German professorship for calisthen
ics has been conferred by the Leip
sic University on Dr. Hermann Al
trock who has been an instructor
of gymnastics at the Berlin Stadium.
His appointment virtually revolu
tionizes the time-honored tradition of
a thousand years, that universities
were solely intended for mental edu
cation. For the new professor of
calisthenics is not a mere appendix
but a fully accredited member of the
faculty.

ployed at P. C. McMullen’s grocery

WAR ON RODENTS
TO BE STARTED
SEWARD FRIDAY
MISS A. M. WRIGHT ARRIVES IN
SEWARD FROM ANCHORAGE;
STARTS WORK IN THE A. M.
The territorial crusade against rats,
which was started in Southeastern
Alaska several weeks ago and extend
ed to interior Alaska, will be inaug
urated in Seward tomorrow, under
the direction of Miss Anna May
Wright, of Portsmouth, Va., who is
working in connection with the de
partment of agriculture and the Unit
ed States health service. Miss Wright
arrived from Anchorage last night
and will call on the merchants of
the city tomorrow morning for the
purpose of securing their coopera
tion.
Miss Wright came to Alaska with
a chum, Helen A. Caldwell, of Hunt
ington, W. Va., but she left her in
Southeastern Alaska to complete the
work there.
The rate extermination plan of the
young ladies not only rids a commu
nity of rodents but keei>3 them out
permanently and is simple in appli
cation.
Following is the open formula
which can be purchased at any drug
store. and which is recommended by
the United States government for
the killing of rats and mice:
“To one teaspoonful of barium car
bonate, mix three or four teaspoon
fuls of any food a rat will eat, such
as meat, cheese, cereals, fruits or
vegetables. For best results, use
three kinds of bait mixed separate
ly and continue with the one rats
like best. •
“Where fowls or other animals
are apt to bet the bait, place it
under a weighted box with holes in
rhesides just large enough for the
passage of the rat. Place the bait
in their runways at night and remove
during theday.”
OCTOBER, WILL FIND
MAN YSTARS IN NEW
. HEAVENLY POSITIONS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. (#>)—Just
as with a lot of folks, October is
moving time with the stars. Above
the eastern horizon soon will appear
the brilliant stars of early winter.
The fall trek is in order.
On October 7, Jupiter will be in
quadrature with the sun, that is, 90
degrees east of the sun and on the
meridian due south at sunset. Mars
has left the evening sky and is on
the far side of its orbit from the
earth, 250,000,000 miles away. The
big dipper will be far over the north
west.
The milky way may be traced on
clear, dark evenings in October diag
onally across the heavens from the
northeast to the western horizon.
Far over in the southeast will ap
pear the brilliant Foralhaut in the
constellation Piscis Australis, the
Southern Fish, whic^ is visible in
American latitudesonly for a brief
period in the fall, and early -winter.
Fomalhaut is one of the 20 bright
est stars in the heavens.
October star gazers, says a bulle
tin of the American Nature Asso
ciation, will find that the constella
tion of Capricornus,v the sea goat,
and Aquarius, the water bearer, two
constellations of the zodiac that con
tain no stars brighter than the tnird
magnitude, have taken the places of
the brilliant zodiacal groups of Scor
pio and Sagittarius that were con
spicuous in the southern sky during
the summer. Venus, which has
been visible in the western sky af
ter sunset since late in June, will
be seen as the evening star in the
southwest for about two hours after
sunset.
Saturn will be seen for ashort
time after sunset a little to the
northwest of Venus, but before Oc
tober has passed it will be too close
to the sun to be seen in the twi
light. Jupiter still is directly north
of the little inverted milk dipper,^
and it will be next to Venus the
most fculliant obpect in view in the
southwestern heavens 'n tho early
evening.
