Memorial to Mrs. Wilson
Country Life Committee of
National Civic Federation
Plans 100000 Fund.

In a training school for rural
nurses, endowed TO the amount OF
100000, a new memorial is to be
established to Mrs. Woodrow Viii
son.
The work of perpetuating the
memory of the Presidents wife in
this manner has been undertaken
BY the Country Life Committee. of
the Womdn's Department of the
National Cipic Federation.
Mrs. Thomas M. Owen, of Mont
gomery, Ala, daughter of Senator
Bankhedd; Miss Maude Wetmore,
daughter of the late Senator Wet
more, and Miss Anne Morgan,
daughter of the late J. p. Morgan,
are heading the movement.
By KENDRIcK scoFIELD.
From the rural districts of the South
there has come a call for trained
nurses-women of broad vision, who
understand and can minister to the
needs of jewellers in small communities
who are. without knowing quite how to
proceed, endeavoring to regulate their
civic lives and rear their children un-
der the best conditions.
And the rural nurse who would go
into the smaller communities of the
Southern States. to take UP a labor
closely parallel to the varied work Of
the visiting nurse" of the city. must
be specifically trained. She must be
able to enter the most humble homes
and make suggestions as to the better
ment of domestic conditions. She must
be able to visit the little country school
houses and spread the doctrine OF hy-
giene and sanitation there She must
be able to undertake the work OF stamp
ing out tuberculosis. and be equally
equipped to deal with the broader prob
lens of general public health.
Must Be Southern Woman.
Also, in the South, she must be
Southern woman before she can reach
the greatest sphere of her usefulness.
And yet. until now, the nursing or
ganizations Of the country. almost all
of whom recognize the Importance OF
rural nursing work, while feeling the
demand for their services have been
unable to supply workers for the field.
Chief among the difficulties encoun-
tered in establishing rural nursing upon
a permanent and useful basis, especially
in the South. has been the lack of a
proper training school. 10 give the
trained nurses the especial prepara-
ton they require before they can I'M
dertake the duties OF the rural field.
And that is why the country life COM
mittee OF the woman's department of

chosen this field In which to erect a
memorial to Mrs. Ellen Arson Wilson,
wife of the President.

 inlet Port.

Judge F. M. Brown today appoint ed Royden D. Chase, chief clerk of the railroad engineering commission as U. s. commissioner at Ship Creek The appointment was made at the request of President Edes, of the com mission, who was anxious that an officer with the powers of police magistrate be named for the new city that will spring up at Ship Creek this summer.

S. marshal for the same locatioR but as the commissioner has authority to name a special deputy when needed and as Deputy Harry Brown is stationed at Knik, 13 miles away, the appointment was not made. New marshals are ap- pointed only upon authority from the attorney general.

BASE BALL FANS
 ENJOY A GAME
McCiare Pitches for Valdez and Puts 1t All Over korth's Team
 Men Need Practice.

The baseball fans had the pleasure yesterday of watching a game be- tween two Valdez teams at the ball park. McClaire. the crack pitcher, twirled the sphere for Valdez and Daykin caught him. The natural result was to be eXpected--Peter North and his cable office gang were whipped from the start. Peter did the catching for the operators and while he did some occasional good throw ing to bases. taken all in all his work behind the slab was punk.
 Several new players appeared and 1t is expected that good team will be secured to represent Valdez at the games to be played this summer.
 Considering that yesterdays game was the first of the season the work done by all the players was fairly good.

 More than 30.000 men are on strike here and the police are unable to control the mobs, which have already done much damage. The strikers say they will extend the strike to every city in Italy and that the army will join them rather than fight the la borers.

NO MORE RIDES 0N SIDEWALKS
Police Committee of Council Issues Orders to Chief of PoIiee-After
 Motorcycle Drivers.

| The members of the Police com
 mittee of the city council have issued orders to Chief of Police Scott tc
 arrest the first person riding a bicycle on the sidewalks in the city and tc stop the drivers of motorcycles and l automobiles from exceeding the speed
 limit within the city limits. All racing is also prohibited, as it Is feared that someone will be hurt be- cause of the fast driving.
 Some protest has been made to the l councilmen because of the order re- garding the use of the sidewalks by
 bicyclists, many of whom live in the l outlying sections of town and have purchased wheels so that they may get to the business section more readily and because many of the children have wheels and no harm can come of the use of the sidewalks above Hobart street.
 It is expected that the order will be amended to allow of the use of sidewalks above Hobart street, with the understanding that when several people are walking the rider is to dismount
 The order regarding the motorcy- cles came as result of the fast rid ing on the wharf just after dinner last night, when the wharf was crowded with men, women and chil- dren and had dog run in front of the fast going machine not only the driver but several pedestrians might have been injured. An accident is all so liable to happen at any time to the machine. causing the driver to lose control and the regulation made by the street committee has met with the approval of the public.

THE STATE NOT LIABLE
For Bills Of Coroners in the Souley-
man Murder Case.

The State will not pay the bills OF the
coroners in the Souleyman murder case.
This conclusion is arrived at as the re-
suit of the ruling made by Attorney Cen
eral Wilson in response to request of
State Auditor Callahan. AS a result of
this decision the bills, which amount to
about s140o, incurred by the eoroners' in
quests and the burial of the body, will
be returned to the coroner. who. if he
collects them. will have TO look to the
county or counties which are concerned.
or. if he prefer. may carry it to the
courts for final adjudication.
The attorney general says that the
original statute governing expenses of
coroners' inquests was enacted in 1921
and was substantially an adopting of the
Massachusetts statute relating to such
matters, which was originally enacted in
1896. The provision of this statute which
is known as Section IL, of Chapter 40.
was amended by the enactment of Chap
ter 1S5 of the laws of 1909 The original
statute provided in terms, that when
ever a coroner should certify under oath
that to the best of his knowledge and
belief the dead body which he had been
called up to view was that of "strang-
er. not belonging to the State, the ex-
penses of burial and inquistion should
be paid out of the State treasury; other
wise expense of the inquistion should be
paid by the county and the expense of
burial by the town in which the body
was found, which town might recover
such expenses from the town to which
the deceased belonged.

Book road. He swore out warrant

3 o'clock in the afternoon, however. he
had revived sufficiently to be brought
into court and the arraignment folio Hed

ed not guilty, but Bolduc positively iden-
titled the suit of clothes worn by the
prisoner as the ones which had been
stolen. The court imposed on Jordan a
sentence of go days in jail and he was
committed.

University Club
Opens Thursday.

The University Club of this city, To-
Gated in the house of the late Hon.
James w. Bradbury, corner of Green
and Bradbury streets, was opened
Thursday morning, when the first meal
was served. AS yet the boarders and
dodgers at the house are few. but that
is only natural as the club has been
organized so short a time.
The membership of the club will be
restricted to the young men who have
been enrolled in some college, and the
club life of the members will be mod
elIed TO a large extent on the frater-
nifty life of college men. The table
at the clubhouse is at present being
set for eight and 1t is expected that
within a few days all the places will
be filed.
There are accommodations for eight
young men to room in the house. A
housekeeper and cook reside at the
house, and things are kept in first
class order for the members. The pro-
ject was planned by Sewell Webster,
who is managing the club.

S. c. Webster expects to begin next
week the preliminary work on his ice
field above the Kennebec dam. The
freeze this year is a good one and the
field now contains ten inches of ice
of which about three inches is sap
or snow ice where the field was food
ed after the recent snowfall. Should
mild weather or rain come within a
few days a portion of this sap would
wear away but other wise it will be
planed off. Mr.. Webster will harvest
about 5000 tons in his houses on the
west shore of the river and everything
indicates that the ice will be of the
best quality possible.

DO YOU get all those from one cow"
"Oh, yes, ii I only let her know a lit
tie ahead of time"
This was but one of the many in
stances where Packard brought the
house into an uproar. Next he
sketched what he termed to be
Substantial lady," yes, quite
substantial, about $50 pounds. He pic
tured her sitting in the lap of a poor
man who at least tipped the scales at 225
pounds less. The very intoxication of
happiness, yes, the man was paralyzed
They were sitting on the couch, the
couch broke, and he also depicted the ex-
preston on the face of the poor house
cat as she was caught underneath one
corner of the couch on it's f1oorward
journey.

bearing also in one hand a placard with
the words Votes for Women" was also
shown. AS a contrast to this was pic
tured the girl on the piano stool drum

sitting on the couch with her lover All
would have gone well if little Johnnie

a bountiful supply of pins. The next

on Johnnie's pants.

question as to who was the most beau
tiful ever be settled? Another sketch
showed the wedding trip of the newly
married couple, their trip by rail, the
mean man who lighted the match when
all was dark as night in the car. All
these things were the source of laughter.
Packard closed the evenings entertain
ment by a sketch of a loving old couple
with whom he stopped over night in a
small town when he was out in search
of subjects to be used as cartoons in the
paper for which he was working. He
pictured the housewife on the piazza,
her beloved leaning over the hoe in front
of her. The only unfortunate thing about
this was that some of the sketches of
the couple that Packard had drawn and
| left in his room had been found by the
old lady She showed them to him, and
even though she realized what they were
and acknowledged them to be herself and
the old man, she convinced Packard be-
fore she got through that he looked just
as funny to her and Josiah as he alight-
ed from the train at the depot and came
to the house clad in one of those round
hats such as the city guys wear, stand
up collar, yellow shoes and red necktie.
Everyone who witnessed this enter
tainment has nothing to regret. 1t was
far above the ordinary, and one that will
never be forgotten. And Packard prom
ised to 10 even better next year.
