q. S. TO GIVE UP REINDEER.
Hopes to Dispose of Those Owned
in Alaska to Natives.

The federal government plans to go
out of the raindeer business in Alaska
as fast as it can train Alaskans for in
dividual ownership, the policy being to
encourage independence and initiative
among the native population, according
to a statement today by the bureau of
education. Distribution of reindeer is
in charge of American school teachers,
and it is expected that the government
will dispose of all it's reindeer within
the next four years.
The Alaska reindeer are increasing in
number, despite reports to the contrary.
1t is stated. Latest available figures
show that June 30 last there were
~ ,266 reindeer in the sixty-two Alaskan
herds. a net increase of % per cent
during the fiscal year. OF this num-

WANT TARIFFS SUSPENDED.
Industrial Companies Also Ask for
Rehearing in Railways Case.

Petitions have been filed with the in
terstate commerce commission py
Charles S. Be.sterling. traffic manager
of the Carnegie Steel Company, for That
company, the Universal Portland Cement
Company, the American Steel and Wire
Company, the National Tube Company
and the American Sheet and Tin Plate
Company, requesting the suspension of
freight tariffs filed by practically all
of the principal railroads in classifica-
ton territory canceling the charges
heretofore paid by the trunk lines to
industrial railways for switching and
similar services. The new tariffs were
filed in accordance with the commits
sion's recent decision in the industrial
railways case.
The petitions also asked for a rehear-
ing Of the industrial railways case on
grounds similar to those advanced in
other petitions recently submitted to
the commission.
The commission has not given seri-
Gus consideration yet to the petitions
for rehearing of that case, and may not

Items Provoke Smile.

THE item of S1.50 a month, or a total
of SIS per year. for fruits and luxuries
is reasonable, but it likewise is just
what person elects to make it.
THE last two items in the list. how
ever, do provoke something of smile.
Good amusements unquestionably are
wholesome to almost every one and
altogether to be commended, but for a
person with an income, as stated, of
$1,000 calmly to figure up at a rate.

corporations, notably such as the Penn

employees, even those receiving a wage
as low as $40 to $50 a month. to become
members of their relief fund. etc, and
even at the wage mentioned it is man

upon only in a rough sort of fash

thereof from all sides would not be
amiss, for this pension problem is a
subject of great import, growing even
more so as time goes on

MOVEMENTS Of LAND
ALWAYS TAKING PLACE
This Continent Is Rising in Some
Places and Sinking
in Others.

Most people know in a general way
that large portions Of the United States
have in the past been covered by the
ocean. but it is perhaps not so generally
known that the continent is now rising in
some places and sinking in others. There
is every reason to believe that minor move
ments Of the land are constantly taking
place. Not SO very long ago, in a geo.
logic sense. the Hudson river flowed
through deep canyon or gorge at New
York city. Soundings show that this
gorge extends through the harbor and
far out to sea. 1t is evident that the
land surface has been lowered in this
region, allowing the ocean to creep in on
the land. fill the old river channel, and
in places wholly submerge it.
The submergence of the land was great
err at one time than it is now. In exca-
vations for some of the New York sky
scrapers remains of oysters and other
saltwater animals have been found. As
rule the only available knowledge in
regard to the former submergence of an
area is derived from the marine shells
and other animals found in deposits laid
down by the sea. By the nature of the
fossils biologists are able to tell approx
They have found evidence of a submerg-
ence of much greater magnitude and
much older than that which now floods
the Hudson valley.
Gothamites and others need not, how
ever, feel alarmed at this statement of
the ups and downs of the continent, for
while geologically this submergence is

Free Tuition an Attraction.

Colored girls are to be invited to at

an attraction that is expected to draw
more student servants than the school
will accommodate. When a servant has
completed the course another will take
her place so that hundreds can be in
structed i'll a year.
1t was announced that an effort will be
made to have the College Woman's Club
cooperate with the alliance in the
scheme. 1t is proposed that the club
use the house to be opened by the alli-
ance as a clubhouse, where the members
could secure their meals. Mrs. Lyman
B. Swormstedt. president of the College
Woman's Club. Will present the plan to
that organization. 1t is expected that
the regular course of instruction will
take about three months, while the school
will have capacity for twenty-five
students.

Clothing Reasonably Low.

LAS to clothing ian extra allowance be-
ing made for pressing, etc.) the amount
of S126 for a year is more than many
fairly well dressed men making twice
$1,000 a year spend in that period. If
there is one article that at the present
time be purchased reasonably it is
fair-grade clothing. Usually two suits a
year suffice for the average person to
make himself presentable. Two suits,
say one at $50 and a second at SIS, with
additional for shoes. shirts, underwear,
etc. and an overcoat every other year.
aggregating. say, $40, or a total for wear
ing apparel of $50, makes a difference on
the year of $41. OF course, if q person
wants to dress at the rate of a two
thousand-dollar or a greater salary on
thousand-dollar income that is up to
him. The items as here given are
simply what a person Of ordinary econ
omy and everyday prudence with all
reasonable allowance would be Likely to
spend to present neat appearance.
cigars, tobacco and telephone expendi
lures are just what a person chooses to
make them; s4S on the year would be
considered more than ample by many
fair-nninded people for a. single man Of
average means.
