dred words My highest speed and
money record were made between 2
o'clock a Saturday afternoon and the
following Monday morning when I
turned out 10 pages for $240. 1t was
literally blood money, for when the job
was finished the tips of my fingers were
split open and my machine was
sprinkled with blood. Eighteen hours
a day has always been my working
record in Alaska. But that's all past
now"
What are womans bread earning
opportunities in Alaska today?" was
asked.
THAT question was put to me-" said
Miss Fitz, the first time 1 came out
by two young women who came up to
me on the dock at Seattle City, and
my reply then holds good now.
" What can you do?' I asked them.
Can you go into a mining camp and
cook for a dozen or more miners, do a
family washing, rub and wiring out the
heavy fannels, stockings leggings and

to light housekeeping in a studio. Both

and I am an insurance agent" said the
prettiest woman of the bunch.

either of you,' L repeated. "A typewrit-

sage TO and from Alaska, but nothing
more. AS for insurance. no one in those
parts has money to tie up in that way.
'They didn't believe me. Hadn't I
made a success? In vain l tried to
make them understand that conditions
had changed and that the opportunities
that came to me are reserved for one in
ten thousand and in all probabilit
will never be repeated.

 In referring to the recent action Of Congress providing for the return of the flags now in the war offices at Washington to the Confederate soldiers, General Lee said;
 T am glad the wound has healed so that these flags can be returned before those who loved them and bled for them, are all under the sod"
