 The newly organized Alaska-Juneau Fire Department has challenged the Treadwell Fire Department to a game of base ball to be played on the even ing of June 18th. The only rules to govern the game are that none of the players on either side are players from the regular teams and that the chiefs from both departments play. The Doug las Fire Department has one of the fastest ball teams in the country and contemplate issuing a challenge to the Treadwell team.
 An innovation has been started at Treadwell that promises to do much good and consists of a bulletin board at the Club under the control of the Safety committee. On the bulletin board from time to time are posted the details of accidents that happen about the works that are due 10 the careless ness of the men, so that other men may avoid them.

The City and the Child.

New York city-the length and breadth of Manhattan-and Boston, from the Fcnway in three directions to the water front, are as unfit for child to grow up in as the basement of a china store for calf. There might be hay enough on such floor for a calf, as there is doubtless air enough on New York city street for child. It is not the lack of things-not even air-in city that renders life next to impossible there. It is rather the mul- titude of things. City life is three ringed circus, with continuous per formance and interminable sideshows and peanuts and pink lemonade. It is jared and jostled and trampled and crowded and hurried, and it is over- stimulated, spindling and premature.- Suburban Life.

Hence they will not permit, if they can prevent it, anything that will de- lay the starving-out process.
 Indignation will doubtless be ex- pressed in some quarters at the at titude of the Allies toward Germany. However, it is quite certain that the attitude of Germany would be the same if Germany commanded the sea. Both sides feel that their backs are against the wall
 From this review of the facts it is self-evident that if President Wilson gets his ship bill and buys the Ger man ships what will be their first cargo-with what cargo they will be loaded to the guards before pound of freight is put on board.
 That cargo is trouble.
 After all, there is no point of na- tional honor in asserting right to buy some secondhand ships. Neither prudent man nor a prudent gov ernment goes out looking for trouble.

NEW METHOD ADOPTED.

Instead of having Constitutional Convention, Rhode Island, like North Carolina, appointed a commission to look into the matter and report sug gestions. In North Carolina, series of well-considered amendments was the result. The Rhode Island com mission has submitted revised Con- stitution. One of the changes made serves as a reminder that the small est state in the Union has the dis tinction also ol retaining a property qualification for voters. This qualifi- cation the commission would abolish It would further bring the state in to line with most of her sisters by substituting biennial for annual ses- sions of the legislature. The revision reflects the feeling that our law-mak- ing bodies are not so businesslike as they might be by pair of novel pro- visions. One is that no bill intro duced after the fiftieth day of the
 inn shall be considered except by two-thirds vote of all the members of the house in which it is introduced unless it is introduced at the written request of the governor The other provision is that no bill passed on the day of adjournment shall become a law. These provisions are obviously designed to discourage loafing during the early days of the session and un- due haste at the end Another limita- tion upon the legislature is that ap- propriations can be made only by tho vote of two-thirds of the members elected to eacn house. This provision illustrates the difficulty of weakening a legislators power without simultan- eously weakening party responsibil- ity.-Ex.

Made Famous by Napoleon, the Island

 When the great Frercb emperor died in exile in 1921 there was probably a wish buried deep in his Corsican heart that the island which had been the scene of his humiliation might be wiped from the face of the seas.
 Whether or no such curse was ever cast upon the island. it IS certain that St. Helena is doomed If not to extinc- tion at least to become an uninhabit able rock With the advent of steam navigation the island ceased to be a regular port of call, so that its always scanty exports dwindled almost to the vanishing point; plaques or insects de stroyed it's. vegetation; rats, brought thither by foreign vessels. multiplied and overran its soil until the govern ment was compelled to offer bounty of q penny for every rodent captured Then the English garrison, which had been practically the sole source of in- come to the inhabitants, was with. drawn, and the needs of the natives became desperate.

 Most peosple seem to think that there are countless and vast fortunes In chancery waiting to be bestowed upon their proper owners. This. as matter of fact. is purely myth. and how 1t arose 1t is impossible to say.

 In all there are 3,S3S estates in chan cery, but the value of the largest is not more than f7.0OO. And, so far from many millions, the paymaster of the supreme court of judicature has only f1.25O.OOO in his hands awaiting claimants, large proportion of this money, moreover, has been lying un. claimed since the early part of the eighteenth century.
