process of being organized. says the Juneau Dispatch.
 The Republicans claim Alaska is logically Republican under normal conditions, whilst the Democrats make the same claim in their behalf. The one apparent fact which stands out is that party lines have thus far cut little figure in Alaska. What the future may hold in store is of course matter of opinion and purely in the realms of speculation. It will De the fault, however, of neither the Democrats nor the Republicans if party lines are not drawn strictly at the next territorial election. | Tn the Third district Committee man White has been active ill organ izing Republican clubs. Not loIs ago club was organized ill Nome ! for the Republicans. In the Fourth division. Thomas Lloyd, Republican committeeman for that division, and Mayor Carter of Fairbanks, are talk ling of organizing clubs throughout the district.
 So far as known the holdover Republicans have been pretty well weeded out of federal positions in Alaska, and replaced by those of the Democratic faith. In the few in stances where they remain, the local Democratic clubs are keeping the fires going under them in the hopes of "smoking them out" Some of the holdovers. however, seem to be fire and smoke proof.
 Those Republicans having friends in office claim that under the Repub- l llican administration in Alaska nearly as many Democrats held office as Re- publicans and their feeling are hurt over what they term the "Unseem!y haste of the Democrats to taste of flee. ."-Fairbanks News-Miner.

Temperature of the Earth.

1t has been generally believed that the temperature increased at almost q constant rate from the earth's surface toward it's center. but this suppoSition appears to be incorrect in the light of recent experiments. In one mine the average rate of increase in tempera ture carried down to SWO feet. was one degree for each 25O feet of de scent. Various results have been ob. tained from measurements in other places. No temperature variations were shown between depths of l.+Uo feet and 1900 feet in the Kalgoorlie mines in Australia These and other observations are considered as indi eating that the increase of tempera lures with depth in the earth is not governed by any general law.

The Battle of ChaIons.

There have been so many bloody battles it is perhaps impossible to say with absolute certainty which of them all was the bloodiest. but the balance of the evidence seems to be in favor of the battle of Chalons. France fought A. D. All between the Huns under Attila. and the Romans. Goths and Franks. under the command of Aetius. the most renowned captain oi his day. At the head of his 3OO.W savages .Attila was having everything his own way. and it looked as il Aryan civilization was destined to fall before the Tartar despotism. when suddenly. like q bolt out of the blue Aetius fell upon the barlaric horde> and Europe was saved.

IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS.
The System Devised by BertiIlon and
 the Way 1t Is Worked.

The System Devised by BertilIon and
 the Way 1t Is Worked.
 Any malefactor who gets into the clutches of the law nowadays Is marked man for life If he runs up against the Bertillon system, which is n scientific method devised by Nj. Al phonse Bertillon for the Identification of criminals. Bertillon was born in Paris in 1853. Certain measurements are taken from every convicted per son. aud these physical records of pris. oners are kept on cards. any one Of which can readily be found by an elab- crate system of classification.
 The measurements are taken on the left side of the subject. as they are less liable to alterations than are those on the right side. The determination of the convict's height Is taken always at the same hours. because the stature may be as much as half an inch great CT after nights sleep than il is in the evening. The color of the iris of the eye and the characteristic lines made by the print of the finger are also re corded.
 The following measurements are made: The length and width of head; the length of the left foot and of the middle and little fingers of the left hand: the stature of the whole body. as well as the length of its upper and lower portions: the span of the out. stretched arms; the length and breadth of the left ear and the length of the left arm.
 The system has been used in Paris since 1880 and is now employed by all important police departments in this country.-Exchange.

 A friend once asked an aged man what caused him to complain so often at eventide of pain and weariness. Alas" replied he, 'l have every day 30 much to do have two falcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away. two hawks to manage. ser pent to confine. a lion to chain and a sick man to tend and wait upon" Well. we'll" commented his friend. you are busy indeed! But l didn't know that you had anything to do with a menagerie. How. then. do you make that out?'
 Why" continued the old man. 'lis- ten. Two falcons are my eyes. which must guard diligently; the two hares are my feet, which must keep from walking in the ways of sin; the two hawks are my hands. which l must train to work that I may provide for myself and those dependent on me as we'll as for a needy friend occasionally; the serpent is my tongue. which must keep ever bridled lest it speak un seemly: the lion is my heart. with which I have continual fight les, evil things come out of it. and the sick man Is my whole body, which Is al waysf needing my watchfulness and care.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

 to the Community.

to the Community.
 Imprisonment for debt was abolished by congress in the United States in 1883. though this measure was not fully enforced until 1S39
 In nearly every country until com paatively recent times debtors have been subject to imprisonment. After the panic of 1925 1O1 .O0O writs for debt were issued in England. In 1880 1000 persons were seat to London prisons for debt. and on Jan. l. 1a1O. l.70O per sons were held for debt in England and Wales, 1000 in Ireland and less than 100 in Scotland. From time to time notifications in the laws governing the imprisonment of debtors have been made. so that fewer debtors are i'm prisoned for this crime each year.
 In 1929 there were 5000 debtors in prison in Massachusetts. 10000 in New York. 1000 in Pennsylvania. 5000 ill Maryland and a like proportion in oth CT states Many of these persons were jailed for debts of $1A
 The law providing for the imprison ment of men who could not pay theiI debts was shown to be impracticabit by statistics taken from Philadelphia. where in 1928 there were 1.0S5 debtors imprisoned for debts amounting to $25. GOO. The expenses of keeping these persons In confinement was $36o.OO0 which was paid by the city. and the amount recovered hy this method was S295. Philadelphia Press.

CAPTURING A GIRAFFE.
The Animal ls Too Fragile to Snare In
 Traps or Pitfalls.


 Traps or Pitfalls.
 Perhaps you have often wondered about the scarcity of 1.raffes in pub lie ZOOS. The reason that only a very few menageries can boast of this ex- hibit is on account of the difficulty in capturing and transporting them.
 The long legged and long necked anil nal. keen of eye and nose and ear. can see. smell and hear hunter miles away. Hunters cannot employ traps and pitfalls against him His fragile legs would be crushed in a trap. and both his legs and neck would be bro ken in pitfall.
 There is only one way to capture giraffe alive. He must be surrounded and chased until from sheer weariness be staggers helpless into bamboo in closure.
 Peril lies in shipping the giraffe for his voyage on the sea. The giratfe's legs break very easily. If he slips the fragile underpinnings double under him and snap. In transferring the ami i,al from shore to ship his long. help less neck may become tangled in the tackle or strike q spar. mast or shroud. in which event it's all over with MT Giraffe.-Chicago Herald.

GERMANS HAVE EXPELLED
 BRAND WHITLOCK'S ADVISER

Belgian subject and counselor Qegal adviser), of the American Legation in London, has been virtually expeli- cd from Belgium by the German mil itary government aud has gone to Havre, where the Belgian government ia temporarily establish. In admit ting today that M. Deleval had de- parted from Belgium because he was persona non grata to the German military authorities, the State De- partment declined to give details of the incident, but 1t is understood the acute cause of M. Delevals practical dismissal from his country was his activity in behalf of Miss Edith Ca yell.
 Before the case of Miss Cavell was brought to the attention of Min ister Whitlock, M. Delaval had in cured the displeasure of the Ger man Military Government at Brus- sels, mainly, it Is understood. be- cause he was Belgian with special privileges due to the fact that he was under the protection of the Uni ted States Government as one of the attaches of its diplomatic establish ment in the Belgian capital. There had been complaint against him and the feeling aroused among the Ger man authorities came to a head im- mediately after the publication or the correspondence of the American Legation relating to Miss Cavells execution.
 M. Deleval had been very active in the effort to save the life of Miss Cavell. Minister Whitlock had asked that he be permitted to represent Miss Cavell as legal adviser, but German lawyer had already been az signed to her defense. M. Deleval asked permission to see Miss Cavell but his request was denied. With the Spanish minister and Hugh Gibson, secretary of the American legation, Minister Whitlock being i'll. M. Dele val went to see German officials in Brussels and pleaded with them for clemancy. In his report to MT. Whitlock, detailing the efforts to save Miss Cavell, M. Deleval told of his having heard that Miss Cavell had been condemned and of the de- nial of the German authorities that sentence had been passed. Subse- auently it was shown that M. Deleval had received correct information. In his report he indicated that one of the German officials who had prom ised to advise the legation as to de- velopments in the case had failed to keep his word.
 These statements of M. Deleval in his report, which was furnished to the British Foreign Office and pub lished as a parliamentary paper, are supposed to have angered the Ger man military administration in Bel gium, and Minister Whitlock was in- formed that M. Deleval's presence in that country was no longer desir- able.
 M. Deleval had been employed as legal adviser of the American Lega- tion in Brussels for many years. Ow- ing to the fact that he was not c!ti- zen of the United States, his name is not listed in the official register of the State Department as member of the legation estaffs

SUMMARY LABOR LEGISLATION
 LAST YEAR

NEW YORK, June 24.-To the list of P states in which workmen's com pensatlon laws were already in effect, eight more states and the territory of Alaska have this year been added by the action of their legislatures during sessions which have just come to a close. This growth of the movement toward safeguarding the welfare of the laborer and his dependents is revealed in the summary of this years legis- lative activities, which has been com piled by The Associated Press. The summary also shows progress in the abolishment of child labor and in the direction of limiting the working hours of minors.
 The additional states to adopt workmen's compensation are Wyom- ing, Montana. Oklahoma, Colorado, Maine, Indiana, Vermont and Pennsyl- vania. Favorable action toward the enaction of such a measure was also taken by the legislature of Utah, which created commission to investi- gate the question and report bill for the consideration of the next legis- lature. In one state which considered the matter, New Mexico, a proposed workmen's compensation law passed the house but was defeated in the Senate. In Idaho, the bill was vetoed by the governor Several other states
