sked by of all of the commercial bodies OF the
Pacific Coast of whom have any direct pecunay inter
ests in Alaska That proposed legislation has the cordial IN
orsement of President Taft who has given time and study
needs of Aaska it has the approval OF Secretary
Fisher who studied Aaskas condition and Alaskas needs
On the grounds heartily supported by the members of Con-
cress who have frst-hand information about Alaska.
Now remains to be whether Congress will take any
action upon these recommendations The responsibility rests
with Congress to give Alaska square dea to give that sui

Speculation in Wall street is about as poor a gamble as man can undertake. The percentage against the small opera tor Is vastly greater than 1t is against the player at fano bank and Is just about double what It is in the rouiette For example: 1T you buy 100 shares of stock and sell out at d l point rise you. make s100 less s35 commissions, less s2 stamp tax, or s73 net. If the price declines 1 per cent and you sell out. you lose slOO plus s25 commission. plus s2 stamp tax, or s127 gross.

Ing the Arthurian period, tennis, or as
1t was called "tenez," is mentioned in
the Arthurian legends, written in
1900, and the Knights of the Round Ia
BILE were pictured as engaged in the
sport when the weather was too hot
for Journeys or jousts. From a very
simple beginning, and through many
centuries, the intricacy of the games
rules have been developed. It's pres
ent name seems to be a corruption Of
the term "tenez," which the server
used in the same way "ready" is
called out now. In the beginning the
name was "jeu de paume," taken from
the fact that the ball was struck with
the hands instead of with a racket.
Later the hand was encased in a glove
and still later the glove was covered
with strings, running criss-cross, from
which condition there was but short
step to the short-handled racket. In
feudal times the courts were merely
open grass plots oftentimes the lawn
of castle, and not till late in the sew
enteenth century was the court in
