SHORTEST ROUTE TO JAPAN
II Is Along tho Aleutian Islands,
Which Stretch Out From Alaska
Toward Asiatic Continent.

Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan Is by way Of Alaska. Nearly q
thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the Orient by coasting
along the Aleutian Islands, rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian Islands, which extend
in a chain east and west for more
than thousand miles, are inhabited
by the remnant of the Aleuts. Their
war Of the revolution closed just as
the American Revolutionary war be-
gan. So patriotic were the Aleuts. SO
brave in their struggle for indepen-
dence, that they succumbed to the
Russians only after a conflict of near
ly fifty years., and then simply be-
cause the race was almost extermin-
ated in the struggle. While the Aleu-
tan Islands must eventually form an
important link in the commerce be-
tween the United States and the
Orient, other islands link our country
with the vast empire to the north. In
the narrow Behring Straits lie two lit
tie islands, one occupied by Russia,
the other by the United States, SO
that citizens of the two great nations
live on respective islands within q
few miles Of each other.

Results for Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Sufferers

1t you are run down, do not fail to

stand no trifiing, because there is no dis
ease SO deceptive, and nothing more
fatal.
Look backward and recall to memory
the many sufferers, and others who have

FRIENDS PLENTY In YOUTH
But Love and Trust, Often Betrayed,
Are Not So Easy for Ono Who
Has Reached Manhood.

In youth our friends are many. Each
child, thank God. Is born into the
world with one friend ready made,
complete and perfect; his own moth
'er. For the mother there may be re-
grets and tnsights, doubts and hesi-
tations, but at any rate there Ia never
a lack Of understanding, for she, Of
all, knows the very stuff of which we
are made-our strength and our weak
ness, our endurance and our failures.
This, at least, Is one of the heartenlng
facts Of life-that the child need never
forego some friendships 1t makes
slight claims. It asks only some one
to share its activities and it's inter-
ests; Its love of sliding and of skat-
Ing, hay-raking and padding. Provid-
ed another revel In the same things as
we do, behold Here for childhood is
friend ready made! And for a mo-
ment the solitude of the pilgrims soul
upon its long way is disguised.
Youth, too, forms ties lightly from
out the very exuberance of It's liv-
Ing. 1t loves as readily as it breathes:
1t fdealizes and finds it difficult to
recognize any bleak fact in human ma
ture. If the friends seem for the mo-
ment to fail, youth has an unexhaust-
ed fund of hope that remembers this
one as the only failure, or remembers
that back of the failure lies all the
material of future success
But manhood is more difficult. Love
and trust, often betrayed, are not easy
for one full grown and far along the
path of life. That friendship is best
which Is old and which, like wine, has
stood the test of time. Friendships
born In obscurity and misfortune are
harder and more lasting than those
born In ease. Like human characters
they grow strong on the very OBJ
stacies that test them; they are Arm
er, more strongly welded, as they over.

Numbering For Power
When King Ahaziah was slain by
Jehu, his mother, the Queen Dowager,
realized instantly that this meant her
loss of.srank and power--the power
and honor and riches which her selfish,
proud heart so loved. She realized
that the moment her grandson ascend
ed the throne she must vacate her
position In favor OF her daughter-in-
law. Her selfish, proud heart resolved
that lon no account should this be.
Rather, she would be a murderess.
Forthwith she caused her grandchil-
dren to be slain, except one, an infant,
who was hidden by his aunt In room
used for the storage Of sleeping mats,
and. In our lesson, styled bed-cham-
Der. subsequently, he was nursed un-
til his seventh year. in one Of the
rooms connected with the old temple,
which was In disuse during Queen
Athaliah's reign, as she favored and
upheld the worship of Baal.
One lesson for us here is the power
OF pride. We may well hope that
many could not be influenced to be-
come. murderers, even with such in
dncemknts. But not many OF us will
ever have such a temptation either to
grasp a throne or to retain hold OF one
already possessed.
Since we are not kings and queens
and have not their temptations, let us
note that the same principle Of hard
heartedness operates In the business
world, in the social world and in the
crates to the destruction OF a rival
concern. In the social world, 1t cuts
rivals. prompts to misrepresentation

The correction for all this Is love OF
righteousness which will lead each to
love and to obey the Golden Rule and,
- nearly as possible, to comply with
the Divine will. Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart and
al thy-mind and all thy being and all
thy strength, and thy neighbor as thy

~EzEBEL'S daughter, Athaliah,
on the death Of her husband,
became Queen Dowager of the
- Kingdom of judah, her son Aha
ziah becoEtEs King. In Oriental lands
the Kings mother is still the highest
authority In the Kingdom, as, for in
stance, In China. This was the custom
with the Jews. As Queen Dowager,
Athaliah had exercised a powerful and
baneful influence against the true God
and His worship and in favor of Baal
worship. Hers Is not the only instance
in which the intermarriage of the
kings Of Israel with the daughters of
foreign kingdoms brought great injury.
Her mother Jezebel was another nota-

that it was Solomon's foreign wives

COMMISSIONERS WORKING
TOSECURE ASPHALT PLANT
In View of Opposition House District Committee Will

A lengthy conference was held at the
Capitol between District Commissioner
Judson and Representative johnson,
chairman OF the District Committee of
the House. on the subject Of erecting
municipal asphalt plant in the District

should be an early hearing on the bill for
that purpose. which was introduced a
month ago by Chairman johnson at the
request Of the Commissioners. The Com
missionsrs are hopeful that this bill may
become one Of the achievements Of the
extra session, and to that end they are
making every effort to remove obstacles
from its path.
II was developed during yesterdays In
terview between Commissioner Judson
and Chairman johnson that the path of
the asphalt plant bill is not to be strewn
with roses. The measure Is to be op-
posed. and strenuously SO. by certain in
dividuals whom Chairman Johnson de-
clined yesterday to name. but who have
sent word to the District Committee that
they desire to be heard as soon as the
measure comes up for attention. In def
erence to these requests and the wishes
Of the District Commissioners. both the
proponents and opponents Of the measure
will come before the committee on day
to be named soon. according to the as
surances Of Chairman johnson. and be
given q full hearing.
