FATIGUE VACCINE
That Tired Feeling May Be Cured by
Revitalizing the Blood
LONDON, Jan. 28—Search for a
vaccine to kill fatigue is the latest,
task of British scientists^ i
Dr. G. H. Miles, secretary of the
National Institute of Industrial Psy
chology is one of the chief inquirers.
By means of a solution which is
j neither a stimulant nor a drug, ’ says
j Dr. Miles, “we are seeking to rep:ace
! certain blood con.-.tituents which be
I come deficient when heavy physical
j work is undertaken.
“We are trying to find out first to
: w hat extent the blood constituents
have b en reduced and to supply them
! in some harmless form which will re
store normal conditions and allow
the workers to proceed without feel
ing the results of depreciated blood
constituents.
“We have proved that suitable con
stituents taken with drinking water
reduce very considerably the onset oi
| cramps.
“Results of experiments are full of
| promise. We have to go carefully,
however, to insure that no immediate
| harmful effects arise.
“In an age of motor transport more
research is needed on the subject of
i fatigue as work is becoming more
j strenuous from a mental viewpoint.
! The country would be saved millions
■ of pounds in accident insurance if re
1 liable means were found to indicate
fatigue. No sinifole reliable test has
■ as yet been found.
“Some drivers are emotionally un
stable. Sooner or later they get turn
ed off the road.”
FIRE REVEALS MURDER
SIGNS FLAT DISTRICT
According to unofficial advices re
ceived by the Anchorage Alaskan, the
cabin fire at Flat, in the Iditarod dis
trict, and the death of James Powell
of that region, were not the result
of accident. An investigation conduct
ed after the cabin had been reduced
to ashes revealed unmistakable evi
dence of foul play, and Charles Ber
geran is now under arrest at Flat
bound over to the grand jury on a
charge of murder.
The report received by the Alaskar
states that persons passing the Powr
ell cabin at an early hour plainly
heard the voices of Powell and Ber
geran, but the nature of the conversa
tion, whether heated or not was not
noticed. Two hours later the Powell
cabin was discovered in flames. .A
1 search of the ruins disclosed the pres
: ence of only a portion of Powell’s bo
dy, the head, one arm and the lower
: portion of the body being missing.
A trail of blood led the investigators
| to the Bergeran cabin and the owner
w?as found in his bunk apparently in
I toxicated. When aroused sufficiently
i to carry on conversation, Bergeran e?
plained that he had gone to the Powe'
cabin to get some tools which Powel
had borowed. In an argument whict
had followed his arrival there, hf
said, Powell struck him with a stick
of wood and a fight followed in whicf
he had received a cut on the arm ir
endeavoring to defend himself.
Bergeran’s face was cut and bruiser
and there was a large cut in one arm
which the doctor declared had beer
inflicted by a knife. Beneath thf
bunk in which Bergeran had been lo
cated, there was a .iug of hootch.
A coroner’s jury which was summor
ed to investigate the case directed
j that Bergeran be bound over to th<
: grand jury and this action was taker
by the commissioner later, following i
further investigation of the case.
* Both Powell and Bergeran are wel
known to many residents of Anchor
age and Fairbanks districts in the
early days, before going to the Idit
arod camp, and both were regarded
as good workers in their lines. Pow
ell was a railroad carpenter foreman
before coming to Interior Alaska and
was considered rather industrious by
'Ms Idifarod acquaintances. Bergeran
worked for a layman on Pave Strand
bere’s grou id on Flat at one time.
It is understood that both men had
' en drinking heavily of late, which
’ay have accounted for their trou
ble.
GAME CLUB RrEOLUT!ONS

Several prominent residents of Se
ward have entered protests against
the sesohitfop.s recently passed bv the |
'*"• 1 game club, believing that its,
members are misinformed as to con
demns existing in the district about
the city.
John Gilpatrick, a former guide,
prospector and big game hunter be
lieves that the season should be made
earlier instead of later, claiming that
moose are at their best in early Aug
ust and before the rutting season.
“Everyone knows that moose are un
fit to eat during the rutting season,”
declared Mr. Gilpatrick. “Their necks
are full of pus and their liver is like
a spone. The meat is too strong for
human consumption, and is useless
except for dog feed. In August the
meat is good, but after the rutting
season the animals are poor and they
ai e still strong up to the time the
law goes out. The man who wants
the season extended so he can go af
ter the animals in the deep snows,
is not a true sportsman, as they are
easily killed at that time, and can
even be caught wi*h dogs. I am in fa
vor of the limit to one moose, and the
railway reservation strip, but I believe
the season should last, two months,
through August and September only.”
Mr. Nels Hagen, of Mile 7, deplores
the wording of the resolution asking
for a reservation one mile each side
of the Alaska railway, to “prevent
section hands from killing game out
of season.” Mr. Hagan states that
the officials of the railway have very
stringent rules in regard to killing
game out of season and along the
right-of-way, and that this rule is gen
| erallv obeyed by section hands and
employes. Why pick on the section
hands,” asks Mr. Hagan, “he is as
honest in keeping the game laws as
autoists and others.”
Several critics of the resolutions
passed, believe that a law should be
passed preventing aliens from owning
or carrying firearms in the Territory.
A large number of aliens.—men who
neither speak nor write English, car
ry arms and kill game out of season
before they are citizens, it is alleg
ed, and this should be stopped. Mr.
E. E. Chamberlin will be asked to
present a bill before the territorial
legislature prohibiting aliens and non
residents from owning or carrying
guns unless they take out a license
therefor 1 This will also prevent can
nery crews from killing game out of
season.
