the excessive drinking of alcoholic stimulants, was not a habit, but a disease. On that hypothesis he began studying an drug users committed to Blackwelrs Island for cure, and made individual records of each case.
 "The human system generates a certain amount of toxic poison to off, set the drugs which are taken by the users, but as no two human systems are alike Dr. Bishop found that in dividual diagnosis of each case was necessary before he could prescribe an eficacious treatment. No two per sons are treated alike. Of course, rest. exercise and medicines of one kind and another are part of the treatment. No particular kind of a drug is used, l am sure, to offset the craving for cocaine or morphine, or whatever the patient was in the habit of using. Numerous persons have tempted Dr. Bishop to say he had a formal treatment for all cases, but l know that Is not so. One of the first things he does. however, is to cleanse the system of as much poisonous drug as possible"
 Almost every day one or more come here" said Mir. Lewis. There was a man in here this morning who said he wanted to rid himself of the drug habit. advised him to go be- fore Chief Magistrate McAdoo, plead guilty to using drugs and be commit ted Co blacNWcu lSlanu. lie lOSL no time in doing so." Mir. Lewis said the cases admitted to the Blackwell's Isl- and Hospital revealed that the amount of drugs obtainable from il- legitimate sources was small.
 "There has not been a case of ser- ous collapse from sudden cessation of drugs admitted to the island in three months now," he said. 'In the hos pital today are seven women and six men. A year and a half ago the ward, which has a capacity of forty, was always filled, and We had a list of prisoners awaiting treatment.

NEWS NOTES

The manner in which mistakes are made in newspapers was illustrated today in the case of the man who was injured while working on the dock. When a reporter asked one of the bosses for particulars he was told that a chain broke and hit the man in the face. From another source it was learned that the mans last name was Geach. The facts as stated by the foreman is that the man was injured by a broken "dog" and that his name is Hugo Fels. This is one of the ex- amples which ought to have educa- tional elements for those who are so quick to find fault.
 Arthur Meloche and Al Wolfe reached Bird creek last night and ex- pect easy travelling the rest of the way. They have five of the dogs that Joe Martindale brought here.
 J. F. Lavarne, a builder and con- tractor of Spokane, is in the city but will go out for while soon. He says that while in the east recently almost everyone he met expressed the inten- tion of coming to Alaska at the open ing of the season.

War taxes have been high, but profits have been so much higher that the taxes have hardly been felt, The Norwegians count on being the worlds second maritime power when the war ends. Only England, they believe, will lead them. Neither do they believe their boom will burst with the struggles end.
 Shipbuilding, with the exception of warships, has been practically at a standstill since fighting began, they point out. This means, they say, that the supply of vessels has not been kept up in proportion to the worlds increasing demand. More than this, emphasis is laid on the fact that there has been, first and last, a heavy de- struction of ocean-gOing craft by mines and submarines, adding great ly to the shortage the world already feels and will feel still more keenly with the Post-bellum revival of inter national trade.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Their supply of cocaine, morphine and other kinds of dope greatly curtailed by the fed eral anti-dOpe legislation, hundreds of dopers, men and women from all walks of life, are docking to this city and begging or confessing their way into Blackwelrs Island peuitentiary
 where Prison Physician Dr. Ernest F.
 Bishop is having remarkable success in absolutely curing the victims of habit forming drugs. Two Broadway theatrical stars, one a man and one a woman, recently went before a magistrate and confessed, under as- sumed names, that they were drug users, just so they would be sent to the island. Both have just emerged from the voluntary prison term, cur ed. It is 8 common happening m magistrates courts here nov for dopers to walk in, ask to be arrested and confess so they will be sent to the prison. However there is no drug "curo" at Blackwell's. Commis- s.ouer of Correction Burdette G.. Lewis says the same cure should be effected by any intelligent and ordin- arily competent physician who will quit looking upon doPers as the victims of a habit and diagnose each individual ease from the standpoint of a peculiarly individual disease

SCANDINAVIA
 MAKES FORTUNE
EVEN CLERKS BECOME MIL LIONAIRES BY THE
 WAR BOOM.

! Special to Gateway by United Press)
 COPENHAGEN, Feb. 2.-Scandin- avia is enjoying a tremendous war boom. It is more or less common to Sweden, Denmark and Norway, but so far as appearances go, it is most pronounced in Norway. Sweden has sold to the belligerents, especially to Germany, immense amounts of raw and finished products, including war munitions, though these latter sales were not countenanced by the Swedish government. Denmark, being separ- ated from Germany only by an im- aginary line instead of a stretch of mined and dangerous water, has done still better. The lions share of the war business, however, has gone to Norway.
 The Norwegians have prOfted, to some extent, like Sweden and Den mark, by sales of their own goods to the belligerent nations, especially to Germany, but it has been as middle men that the bulk of their business has been done. Norway was the worlds third maritime nation when the war broke out England ranked first, Germany second. England still ranks first but even the British mer- cantile marine has suffered heavily from the destruction incidental to war Germany's merchant shipping has been out of commission altOgeth- CT since the early days of hOstilities, This was Norway's chance.
 Compared with Norway, Americas s war boom has been a small affair. This is speaking relatively, of course. In actual dollars and cents the European struggle unquestionably has brought more money to the United States than to any other country. Comparatively Norway has ben the big gainer. That is, the Nor wegians are richer by the struggle to the extent of about $2OO,OOO,OOO in actual cash thus far To properties they already owned there has been added a value of approximately as much more. This is on a basis of a population of 2,5OO,OOO.
 An addition to $SO per capita to NOrways wealth in a year and half has been felt emphatically. It has meant a boom such as the old world has not seen hitherto in historic times. MilHonaires have been created wholesale. Many of them are mil lionaires only in kroner-a brona be- ing in the neighbOrhood of 27 cents | but a jump from nothing, in IS months, to a fortune of S25O,OOO to 1 S27O,OOO, which has happended in hundreds of cases, is not so bad. The big old shipping firms have profted in actual millions of dollars. The newly made millionaires in NOrweg- ian money are mainly mere clerks in shipping houses, or working officers of ocean going craft who were able to command a little credit and branch ed out in business for themselves.
 Numbers of the newly-made mag mates have never owned a ship. They have bought vessels in course of con struction or invested merely in char ters and have been able to transfer either their unfinished craft or their charters, so rapid was the increase in the demand for hottoms at huge ad-

-
The undersigned were appointed BY
the National Democratic Committee
as Auxiliary Finance Committee, fol-

ceived an urgent request that We call
upon all Democrats to help the cause
Alexandria Democrats have thus
far done nothing. III ~.
We, therefore, call upon every
democrat in Alexandria and sur
rounding country to send US such
contribution as he or she can, wheth-
er large or small.
Send something, if only few
cents, and show your interest. We
will thankfully receive any aid
whether $500 or 10 cents.
Remember that this is big coun-
try and that there are many close
and doubtful states; and the Nation
al Committee must have large means
to carry on successful fight.
The Republicans have large inter
ests that contribute to their over
flowing treasury.
The Democrats must depend upon
voluntary offerings, and mainly upon
a great number of small ones, to
make up their necessitous treasury.
Send your contribution to any mem
Der of the Committee, and, whether
it be large or small ,please send at
once.
1t is greatly needed.

sizes and shapes are cut by mmpte
fingers and then go to the other : side
! Of the room to be sewn together and
gotten ready for the soling and heel
ing operations on the floor below.
IN the cutting room there is what IS
an innovation in shoe factories and
that is that among the cutters are
two young women who seem to be as
much "on the job" as are the men
cutters. Until short time ago Wo-
men cutters were unknown.
On the floor below the shoes are
turned. There are various Kinds OF.
distinctive makes of shoes just as
there are grades. One Of the best
known Of these is The Mckay, but
The Paff shoe is what is known as
turned" shoe. This name comes
from the fact that great part OF
the work of the shoe is done to 1t
while it is inside out. 1t is only when
it nears completion that it is turn
ed right side out. This system has
been productive of some of the really
wonderful machinery the factory
holds. On this floor also the heels
and soles and certain finishing touch
IS arc added.
A shoe COOS through great many;
hands before it reaches the packing
room on the main floor. Probably a
score of persons have added their
mite of labor to it as it passed along
from bench to bench and hand to
hand on it's way to its destination.
Many Styles of Footwear
In the old days there were very
scw styles of shoes. Today there are
thousands of varieties of style and
shape. The men who regulate these
have to be far-sceing and possess
'arge experience. And even the bah
les and older children who wear the
paf' shoes have their likes and dlsllk-
IS and whims. Tt would be fatal to
make too large consignment OF any
one particular style. The men VINO
lave charge of the direction of this
,art of the work in the Paff company
Ire: w. Fraser Baldwin, general
manager; A. G. Poss, superintend-
ent; H. B. German, system supcrin-
