WASHINGTON. Feb lS.-The house uf representatives today resumed the detailed consideration of the Alaska rPilroad bill The debate on the meas ore has now been closed and there will he no more time taken up ny speeches made mainly for the benefit oI the congressional record.
 The administration leaders are con iiG ent that a final vote on the bill in the house is near.
 After the house acts on the bill there will be very little. if any delay, as the house committee made but one change il the document as it came from the $, nate. This was in regard to the rr' vision for operating the road. The h, use has so amended the senate bil! as to give the president power to either lease the railroads after they are built tn private corporations or tO have them operated hy the govern lliN'llt dS Il'' uf'tilS utSt IIlS IJI'lN lSI''l was put in the bill at the suggestion of the administration in order to give the president free hand in deciding tho best means of operating the roads without the necessity of farther leg islation on the matter
 The president and the democratic leaders realize that now is the time to get the railroad laws arranged in such way that it will not be nece3- sary to again appeal to congress and to again go through the harrassing delays of fighting private interests for the control of the roads. By putting the entire question of leasing in the hands of the president any question of political influence is reduced to 4 minimum and proper management of the road is practically guaranteed.
 There being now no question as ,Q the passage of the bill in the immc- diate future plans will be rapidly push

Dear Miss Fairfax;
I am young girl and am very dark,

that I'm afraid 10 go out. / have been

also very often mistaken for JeWesses,
but they do not seem TO care ] wish
I was like them, then 1 would feel ike

Do YOU know that when you are taken
for a Jewess YOU are being paid a com
pIiment. for in the high class Jews, the
oriental type Of beauty comes TO its
greatest loveliness- For both the irish
and the Jews 7 have the greatest re
snect Both nations represent much OF
the best and finest in human nature.
The next time you are taken Tor

I am not a Jewess. but II i were
