KANSAS MAY FORBID USE
 OF POWDER AND PERFUMES

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. l0.-A bill has been introduced in the state legislature to make it misdemeanor for women under the age of 45 to paint or powder, wear false hair or earrings or use perfumes. The sponsor for the bill is a man of middle age who IS we'll known With him are said to be sev- eral other members of the legislature who have used him while hiding their own names for the present.
 The introducer of the measure declares that woman who uses paints and powders, perfumes, false hair and earrings IS no better than the savages whom we affect to despire for practices which are altogether similar.
 He further declares that when she uses such "aids to beauty she is no longer her self, but a doll dressed up out of all re- semblance to what she would be without them. He expressed the opinion that when a woman gets husband by recourse to such methods she is obtaining something under false pretenses. It is said that he himself got bitten and had his life emblt- tered from the first morning after marrIag when he saw his wife in her true colors." :"

THE NEED OF ALASKA
 IS MORE POPULATION

SEATTLE, Jan 15.-At meeting of the Pacific Northwest Society of Engineers, J. L. McPherson made an interesting response to the toast, "Alaska's Railways Colonel McPherson is secretary of the Alaska bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, and was also employed last summer by the Alaska en- gineering commission in surveying and locating a railroad route from the Cook inlet country to the Kuskokwlm valley; In his remarks, among other things, Colonel McPherson said:
 "It's population that Alasak needs. And the vast treasure territory must gain free dom from the too cramping influence of the bureaus at Washington, who guide her interest thousands of miles away, and gam the degree of home rule that Secretary Lane so wisely advocates.
 Alaska must have cumulative men to win the treasures of the North, so Jealousiy guarded by nature-men who can bear the sting of the Arctic winter and the long, dreary nights and trails. It needs gov ernment of men conversant with the needs of the territory Now there are eleven diff ferent bureaus in four government depart. ments to superintend the development ot Alaska. This division of responsibility causes delay and exasperating red tape, fickleness in looking to Alaska's needs, and results in partly stopping the phenomenal development that is sure to come with the passage of Lanes program.
 Alaska and the Northwest owe great debt of gratitude to President Wilson and Secretary Lane"

WILSON WOULD LIKE PET NAME

President Wilson, speaking some time ago at the unveling of statue to General Philip Kearney at Arlington national ceme- tery, declared that there IS nothing noble or admirable i'll war itself, but there IS something very noble and admirable occa- sionally in the causes for which war IS undertaken, and there IS something very noble and admirable in some of the char acters which war develops.
 If mans character can go through the fire and come out resplendent," said the President, then you know that 1t IS ot the true quality of the best human stuff"
 Mir Wilson said General kearney typltled the best kind of leader produced by the United States, adding that there has been many another man who stood alongside ot him with the same qualities and the same distinction of service.
 "The government of great people, he said, "can always count upon great servlces; and the beauty of our government, the pride that we all feel in it, IS that It IS government of great people, prodlgal III their gifts of service, always ready to pro vide those things which constitute the stuff of heroism and elevate nation ln the an nals of mankind"
 Speaking of the habit of General Rear news soldiers of affectionately calling hlm Phil" the President said he had always been sorry he did not have front name which admitted of shortening"

NATURAL GAS NEAR CORDOVA

That natural gas exists in close proximity to Cordova possibly in commercial quantl- ties if wells were drilled to tap it, was dem onstrated by some of the skaters on Eyak lake, who, provided with torch set fire to a number of gas bubbles which had col lected under the ice after tapping them. Some of these bubbles were of considerable size, and the blaze rose to height of from two or three to twenty feet in height.
 H. A. Ives, the photographer, who has held the belief for some time that the constant bubbling in some parts of the lake was caused by the escape of natural gas, de- termined to test it, and fired number of the bubbles, proving to his own satisfac- tion and that of others that his surmise was correct.
 The gas bubbles up at 8 number of places in the lake from the North arm clear up to the wharf at Oldtown. The largest escape is near the head of the lake, on a line between North arm and Eyak bridge and about opposite Clear Water arm, where it is so strong that the lake does not freeze for considerable space at this point A similar escape ot gas, which is below high water mark near Flemmlng spit, is also reported from the bay side of the town It is said that the escape at this point is strong enough to burn steadily, Ii lighted when the tide is out, until the re- turning tide puts it out. This would seem to indicate strata of gas-bearlng formation running under the town, and some day may prove valuable asset for the town Cordova Times.

DOES COURAGE EXIST?

The astonishing query as to whether such a thing as courage really exists at all IS raised by Edgar Beecher Bronson in hls new novel, "The Vanguard" which IS nothing else than a series of the most courageous exploits on the part of nervy Westerner Mr Bronson would be said by the world to have proved his own courage about as completely as anyone in the world, by long balloon trips, ranching in the West ln the days when it was necessary to face bad men and bad steers, to ford flooded streams and ride for days almost without water ; by big game hunting in Africa and explor- ing in South America. Yet he declares that even with so cool a man as the hero Ot ''The Vanguard courage is simply mat ter of habit Among the many proofs he likes to deduce is his experience with a Texan whom Mir. Bronson himself once saw kill two men in gun-t gun fight, and who had five notches on his x-shooter But when Mir Bronson took him to the top of New York skyscraper for the view the Texan was so frightened that he got down on his hands and knees, shaking and begged to be taken down, because he was so frightened.
 .'The average woman who drives an auto mobile through the city streets runs bigger risks every day than l did when hunting African big game, yet she thinks nothing of it. Courage is knowledge, experience j;
 iardice, ignorance. Familiarity with any new danger will bring not precisely con tempt of it, but certainly more or less in difference to it," says MT. Bronson.
 Does courage exist? The hero of "The Vanguard" certainly seemed to have no end of it when he faced bad men in the streets of tough Arizona towns But Edgar Beecher Bronson ought to know.-Tacoma I odpar

CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY
 EXPLAINS UTTERANCE

Here is the explanation of Dr. Bethmann- Hollweg, the German imperial chancellor, of his famous remark, "a scrap Of paper, in reference to the Belgian neutrality treaty, forwarded from the general field headquar- ters of the German armies in France under date of February i;
 England drew the sword only because it believed its own interests demanded 1t. Just for Belgian neutrality it would never have entered the war
 That IS what l meant when l told Sir William Goshen in that last interview when we sat down to talk the matter over prl- vately man to man, that among the req sons that had impeled England to go into the war the Belgian neutrality treaty had for her only the value of a scrap of paper"
