The BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD BOY scoUr NOTES.


In the March issue Of the Boys Lif,
magazine there is very interesting arti
ele on the subject of the heart which
everybody should read. For those who
have not the opportunity of reading the
article in full, we quote as follows:
The heart responds to the same inn
pulses other muscles respond to. It may
tire quickly, or it may have great endur-
ance, according to the way you train it,
Just like other muscles
SIN mile run you begin to feel short
of breath after the first eighth or so ; you
can I get quite enough air to satisfy your
oxygen hunger. But you keep running
for you know You will get second wind
pretty soon. After you get it You can
keep on for one or more miles without
any trouble at all. That is, if you have
a good heart You can.
Second wind represents the most Vi
tally important function of an athletes
heart, the ability to apply reserve force
in an unusual effort, or, in other words,
the efficiency of the heart. It means that
the muscle has been trained" by regu-
lar and persistent effort until it is capable
of meeting not only everyday needs, but
also the great demands of emergency"
uG punt " DG uulGQ III TIC dbONC
quotation is that the heart is like any
other muscle and will respond to train
ing. Systematic outdoor exercise, walk
ing, rowing, swimming, various setting
mp exercises, all these have a beneficial
effect on the heart, in that they supply
the reserve force needed. They strengthen
the heart to point beyond what is needed
for everyday life and so when the emer-
gency arises this surplus force becomes
second wind.
Now just as this training creates a re-
serve force for the heart so does the knowl
edge required in the various branches of
create a reserve force in the
wind. The scout, or any other person,
who carefully studies the articles now aP- |
pesring in this paper on the subject of
irst aid is slowing upa reserve of knowl- |
sdge that will, in the event of an emer-
yency, enable him to do something an
other cannot co, namely, to aid the in
iured, or possibly even to save life. This
IS one example of the Second wind" of
scout training. The following articles
are especially prepared for this purpose.
they are worth learning. Study them.

SOMEBODY BlUNDERED.

Representative Dan Driscoll. who returned few days ago from the Outside, where he has been visiting for some time, declared after his minerals at the Exposition could not be located by him, and that the other exhibits of the Territory were unattractively arranged and were not where they would draw attention
 This is much the same report concerning the Alaska exhibit that has been brought here by several others who have visited the big ex- position. It proves that the people of Alaska have been "stung' by somebody, but the blame seems not tc have been fixed
 If the Territorial exhibit of min erals was in such an obscure place that even sourdough could not find it when he set out to look for it, certainly the general public would have hard time finding it.
 It will probably be a long time before there will be another oppor- tunity to advertise Alaska's resources in as good way as that offered by the Panama-Pacififc Exposition. a show that has cost a total Of $50,O00,O00. It is useless to say that a better place could be found for the exhibit, for it was placed there partially at the expense of the Unit ed States government, and certainly an appeal made to the proper au- thorities would have brought results.
 Governor Strong had it within his power to have brought official in fluence to bear upon the Exposition management to enforce the selec- tion of a good place for our exhibit, if he had been informed and had taken the matter up officially with Washington. Back of Alaska there should have been more federal pow CT than back of any of the states which were favored with the best advantages of the big show.
 It is too late now, perhaps, to correct the wrong that has been done this state by blundering men who had charge of the exhibit. but it would be matter of much sat isfaction to the people here to know loss to the Territory in the matter of advertising

his section leads as follows.

this section reads as follows:
 Provided, that the United States marshal of said district may, under such regulations as the attorney general may prescribe. employ or cause to be employed upon public works any or all persons sentenced to Imprisonment in the jails or the penitentiary within said district"
 It is quite evident that the law was passed at time when this was known as the district of Alas ka, before it was made Territory. and thus it does not speak of more than one marshal or more than one judicial division.
 But be that as it may, the fact remains that the United States mar shal has it within his power to work prisoners on the roads of the Fourth division. provided the consent of the attorney general of the United States can be obtained.
 Now that the legislature has ap- pointed road supervisors in the var ious divisions, it seems that the working of prisoners can be accom- plished quite easily by the co-opera tive efforts of these road supervis ors and the respective marshals.
 Good roads are one of the most necessary functions needed in the development of the Territory. and the benefit falls alike on all the people here. All that is needed now Is the initiative action of the com- mercial organization and public of ficers of the Territory to bring about the working of the prisoners here

GOOD PROGRAM PLANNED FOR
 JULY FOURTH
CELEBRATION EXPECTED TO BE BEST IN SEVERAL
 YEARS.

Committees appointed to work out the various features of the Fourth of July celebration are getting their work we'll under way and it seems that the affair will be one of the best that has been held in this city in many years.
 At meeting of the executive committee of the Fairbanks Con- mercial club, held Friday afternoon. the contract for erecting the grand stand on Front street was let to A. R. Shippee for $110. The huskster privilege was let to the Imperial Cigar store. the bidder, for $25
 The baseball team and band from Ft. Gibbon will be here without fail it is asserted, and it is expected that the soldiers will take part in many of the athletic events which will be feature of the celebration.
 On Saturday the Harmonic society will give it's annual dance, which it is expected will be unusually good. It will include refreshments.
 Harry Badger, chairman of the committee on sports. has announced the following partial list adopted by the committee:

the same stand that the British-Amer- jeans took in the wars between the colonies and England. and it seems that there has never been time that the adopted sons and daughters of the United States have not stood by this country in preference to any other.
 The Staats-Zeitung a German news paper published in New York which has been taking the part of the leu tons in the controversy over in Flu rope, published an editorial endors- ing the stand taken by President Wilson in his note to Germany. This editorial in part was as follows: Nor is this the time to burden millions of American residents with unjust and unnecessary anguish of mind The German-Americansm must suffer in any conflict between the United States and Germany pains of which their fellow citizens can never know anything. It is rather time for showing them the great est degree of consideration. They have fought to uphold their flag in the past and they will do it again, against any enemy whatsoever They deserve the fruits of past loy atty. until they have forfeited the right to claim them. There has never been but one flag under which the GermanAmerican has fought. There can never be but one flag under which he will ever fight: and the flag is the Stars and Stripes"
 A few days after the note was sent to Germany by President Will son, the New York World sent the following inquiry to presidents of various German rifle clubs and other organizations in the United States;
 What would your organization do if America and Germany be- came involved in war?'
 In every case, it is asserted. the reply was that the German-Ameri- cans would be loyal to the United States, their adopted country. Among the messages received by the World was one from Rudolph Beerend, president of the American branch of the Sons of German Veterans. an organization with membership of 5000. He said:
 We will stand by the President to the last ditch, although it should necessitate our taking up arms against our beloved Fatherland. All of our members able to bear arms will enlist under the banner of our adopted country in case war is de- clared.'
 If there is anything that shows the loyalty of all the people of the United States to the country to which they owe allegiance. it IS this tendency on the part of it's for eign-born citizens to sacrifice even their lives in it's service. The Ger mans are probably no better in this regard than other naturalized Amer

LOYALTY TO AMERICA.

There has been much talk and criticism concerning the "hyphen' ated Americans" who have talked too much since the war started, but just now there is reason to compli- ment many of them. for they are proving that though they be loyal to a certain extent to their mother countries, they are still more loyal to the United States.
 As soon as trouble between the United States and Germany was threatened, following the sinking of the Lusitania, the German societies of the United States, through their leaders. declared that they would stand by this country if war was started with Germany. They took

MAY WORK PRISONERS.

For some time The Citizen has been advocating the working of pris- oners on the public roads of Alas ka, but it was not until Delegate Wickersham was asked about the possibility of law authorizing pris- oners to perform such work, that it was made known that law of that nature was already in the Alas ka code.
 MT Wickersham explained that it is not necessary to ask for the pas sage of such a law, as it is already provided in Section 2O82. of the Compiled Laws of Alaska. provided the attorney general of the United States authorizes 1t. In this regard

AN APOLOGY.

E. B. Collins, Alaska's embryo ed in the Fairbanks Times on Sat urday morning, says that The Citi- zen committed an error by comment ing upon the fact that the Alaska legislature had revoked the law re- quiring itinerant merchants to pay an annual license fee of $2OO, and he declared that before newspa- per published such statement it should seek the men who are in position to tell what the legislature had done.
 Mir. Collins, however failed to deny that the law mentioned had been revoked, though he cited a new law that had been passed by the legislature permitting the coun- cils of Alaska towns to pass laws requiring itinerant merchants to pay such fees as may be desired
 Of course this law is better than no law and it may be found that it is legal but the attention of The Citizen has been called to the fact that the enabling act does not give the legislature the right to author iZe town councils to pass laws of that nature, and there seems to be a question in regard to the validity of the law mentioned by Mir Col lins.
 The Citizen is glad to learn of the existence of the law mentioned by Mir. Collins. but it understands neither his grounds for criticism of this paper, nor his haste to rush into print in another newspaper with it. As matter of fact, the federal authorities in Fairbanks were inter- viewed by The Citizen before this paper made any comment on the matter, and there seemed to be no knowledge on their part of the law of which Mir Collins speaks. The action of the city council in appoint ing committee to work for the passage of a law of the nature of the one quoted by Mir. Collins, proves the Fairbanks city council knew nothing of its existence.
 Furthermore, when Representative Dan Driscoll the author of the bill alluded to by MT. Collins, arrived in town early last week, he said he was not sure that the measure had been adopted Thus the only source of authority The Citizen has over looked was MT. Collins, who makes his home at Fox and is not easily reached. Of course, the fact that he was speaker of the house of representatives, was recently made lawyer, and has announced his in- tention of being governor of Alaska as soon as a Republican President is elected, has placed MT. Collins in class by himself, and for this req son, perhaps, he has reason to feel hurt at this newspaper for hay ing overlooked him as an authority on Alaska laws
The Alaska citizen., 1915-06-28

FROM present indications, the Fourth of July celebration in Fair banks this year will be one of the best in the history of the city.
 SEATTLE is sending man to Alaska to tell the people here about the big fair that city is planning to hold in 1917. Perhaps the real req son he is coming here is to offer some excuse for the way that city Fairbanks had planned.
 MANY freighters are complaining because the Road commission has selected the Olnes route. But Col. Richardson and MT. Zug have prom ised that unless satisfactory changes can be made in the route, it will be abandoned, 50 why worry until we are really hurt?
 WELL, it is all settled now be- yond any further argument that President Wilson is to be reelected next year, for Marshal Erwin says so, and he knows The fear that MT. Erwin would find it advisable to remove Mir. Wilson and put Republican in his place is thus dis pelled.
 INDIANS who have been catching foxes out of season have been forced to give them up. And why should they not? The Indians already have numerous legal privileges not en- joyed by white men, and 1t is about time that they were made to realize that the law is to be respected by them also.
