In his apartments that morning in con-
ference with some OF his clients, and

into an adjoining room, where he
slept. and cid not more than reach the
bed when he fell over unconscious,
dying in few minutes. The verdict
OF the jury was that he came to his
death from an attack OF heart disease.
In respect to Bowlers memory
Tonopah has put on mourning and
everybody has been saddened by his
death. The whole camp. whether they
agreed with him or not, respected
Patsy Bowler. and esteemed his rug

ARE PATRIOTIC
BY Pae. and lnrI News Service.


NEW YORK, April 18.-That news.
paper writer's urge others to prepare
to defend their country, but are willing
to fight only with their typewriters
themselves, is a slur which has receiy-
ed knockout blow in New York City.
Work on newspaper Is such an un.
certain thing as to time and place that
many newspaper men cannot Join the
National Guard or go to a summer
training camp.
Two young newspaper men early
this winter decided there was a way
out OF this condition. They borrowed
National Guard armory for one night
week and persuaded two enthusiasts
tic army officers to give up their spare
time to this cause.
The result was the Officers Train
Ing Corps for Newspaper Men. AL
though both founders of the corps held
subordinate positions newspaper men,
OF all grades, including several re-
nowned city and managing editors, en-
listed enthusiastically.
The corps now numbers 279 men.
The morning newspaper men, who
work nights, drill days, and vice versa.
The corporals and sergeants are
newspaper men who have had Nation
al Guard experience or are "Plattsbu
| veterans" The men buy their own
uniforms and pay fifty cents a month
for general expenses.
They drill hard for couple of
hours each time they meet, then go
through calistenics and finally listen
to lecture by some army officer. In
addition bunch of home work is Civ
en- out which means q diligent study of
MOSS Manual (the Army Bible"),
and a refurnishing of half-forgotten
college and high school mathematics.
Although there is no compulsion, at
tendance records are high. The corps,
which has General Leonard Woods ap.
proval, Is securely established.

Sore arms. shoulders and legs, are the order of the day among the mem- bers of the Juneau baseball squad since they started 'actiye practice. Several of the boys have not been on the ball field for several years and they are having some trouble In getting back into shape How ever, they are gradually coming around and another practice will be held tomorrow. The entire squad is expected to be out. On Sunday, if the weather is good, the boys will all be out in the afternoon and as many others who care to practice or play a little ball are invited to join. If enough ball players show up, sides will be chosen and practice game will be played Fry will pitch for the Yanigans, and this will give the regulars good batting practice. With some other man pitching for the regulars, the chances are that the regular fielders will get plenty of fielding practice, which they need and an interesting contest will re- suit.
