FATHER KAsaEvARoFF oivEs INTERESTING TALK
 ON NORTHERN INDIANS

DOUGLAS. May 17.-Members of tho Douglas leland Womens club and the public were given most Inter esting and instructive talk by Father Kashoyaroff on the subject: North ern Alaska Indians" in tho Lyric theatre. yesterday afternoon.
 Father Kashevaroir has spent the greater part of his life in Alaska and is perhaps better acquainted with the natives about whom he lectured than any other man in the north. The speaker confined his talk mainly to the Indians of the Aleutian Isl- ands. giving their customs. supersti- tions. charactistics and general man ners of life.
 Father Kasheyaron added greatly to the interest of his talk by dis playing relics. trinkots and articles used to adorn the Indians to whom they formerly belonged.
 The reverend gentleman Is most ardent champion of the cause of the red man and believes firmly in the work which Is being carried on by the government in their behalf throughout the Territory.
 The lecture was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by all who were 80 fortunate as to hear 1t. A Hungari- an rhapsody. played in duet by Mrs Linscott and John Hopper, concluded the program for the afternoon.

JUNEAU WILL OBSERVE MEMORIAL
 DAY THlS YEAR

Memorial Day will be observed In Juneau this year with appropriate services. A movement with that end in view was started yesterday, and the plans. including program, the place of observance, decorations, etc. will be arranged later. Volunteer workers, to make decorations and render other aid toward making the celebration Q success, have been re- quested and those willing to serve are urged to report their willingness to do something to Mrs. F. H. Kaser or Mrs. Josephine c. Valentine.
 Special significance attaches to Decoration Day this year on ac- count of the circumstance that Am erican soldiers are now engaged' in war. and fresh graves have beeen made for those who have died in their country's service this year. With these events taking place in Mexico, the question of preparedness for defense of the country occupying among the first places of problems of public interest and practically all Of Europe at war makes Decora- ton Day more important this year than 1t has been in recent times, and it is felt that Juneau should give expression to her interest in the oc- casion.
 During the last few years the ob- servance of Decoration Day in Ju- neau has been confined to the gradu- ally trimming veterans of the Grand Army that fought and won the Civil War This year citizens who have not borne arms for their country are requested to cooperate with them in showing respect for those who have risked life. and frequently gave 1t, for the sake of their country

DoINGs IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD

With the advent of efficient start
ing devices and such comforts as con-
Vertible bottles. tonneaa hes t.rs. etc,
the all year round use of the high
grade motor car has become an almost
universal practice. At this season a
few suggestions may be in order as to
the easiest and best methods Of assur-
ing the most pleasant and effective
winter operation, says II. w. Drew.
AS the quality of the gasoline sup
plied on the open market is continu-
ally decreasing. it is becoming more
and more important to obtain the de-
sired warm weather operating condi-
lions in the motor at all times. The
automobile motor, equally d ssensi-
tive to the cold as the human organ
ism, should have extra covering in cold
weather. An ideal warm weather OPP
Grafton can be secured by having the
power plant and the surrounding air
under the hood kept warm, as in sum-
mer. Fortunately, this is compare
lively easy to accomplish, since the
motor is itself constantly generating
heat. 1t is well to use a radiator
cover with an adjustable opening so
as 10 prevent excess cooling in ex-
IRENE weather. 1t is also well to see
that the carburetor has a hot air con-
nection to the intake manifold so that
the cold air is preheated when going
into the carburetor. The newer cars
are also provided with an cir choking
device which gives an over-rich car
buretor mixture to aid in starting and
rap ly warming uD the motor.
With regard to the quality OF gaso-
line: In some localities the gasoline
commonly offered for distribution is
of poorer quality than in Others but
it is now almost always possible to
obtein a higher test gasoline, which,
generally speaking, will prove more
efficient in cold weather than a low
test
In this connection bear in mind, how
ever. that high test gasoline does not
necessarily mean better gasoline. In
some cases a very light grade of fluid
known as casing head gasoline" is
used, which has such low boiling
point that il cannot be. handled in an
ordinary carburetor, and it should be
avoided.
The bad effects produced on motors
in cold weather on account of low test
gasoline are difficult starting, missing
fire inefficient running for some time
after the engine is started fouling of
spark plugs and sometimes the pres
ence of gasoline mixed with the oil in
the base on account of condensation
in the cylinders. On this account ex-
ira care should be taken to see that
refi,led with fresh oil. In very cold
weather this should be done at least
every 1000 miles. Tire grade of oil to
use IN cold weather is a medium heavy
grade.
To prevent freezing the water cir
lGting. system we recommend simply
the addition of either denatured or
wood alcoho! to the water. In order to
make a solution which viii not freeze

Cincinnati, o., Dec. S.-Fines by the
wholesale were inflicted by the Ma
tional Baseball Commission here today
on major league ball players who have
taken in various exhibition games fol-
lowing the close OF. the season of 1915.
Fifty-one players from thirteen OF
the sixteen ma5or league teams were
fined amounts ranging from $20 to
800. However. the commission sus-
pended the fines on thirty eight play
ers, allowing only thirteen fines to
stand. The men who must pay are
Players Henriksen. Janvrin, Shorten,
Hoblitzell, Lewis. Mentally, Scott,
Cady, Ruth and Barry of the world 8
champion Boston American league
team, Players Cobb and Young of the
Detroit Americans and Player Davis
of the Philadelphia Americans. All OF
these We're fined 500 except Cobb, who
must pay $50.
Fined for Post season Games.
The fines on the Boston Americans
came as the result Of game played
at New Haven, Conn, in violation OF
the rule against members Of the
worlds champions playing in games
after the close of the season. Barry
did not play but managed the team
that did play.
Davis was fined as the manager of
team which played In various east
ern cities. but the fines Of the remain
der Of the team were suspended be-
cause 1t was brought out in the tes-
timony that Davis had assured his
teammates that he had the word OF

objection to the team playing. The

FULTZ CLAIMS RUPERT
FAIR WITH PLAYERS.
Fraternity Fighting for Abolition OF
Disability Clause.

New York, Dec SIN answer 20 the
statement issued Wednesday by Jacob
Rupert, owner of the New York
American league baseball club. David
Fuuz, president of the Players Fra
ternity, in a statement tonight said
the fraternity did not charge the New
York club with being unfair to its
players, especially in the case of
PLAYER Ray Heating.
F'ultz declared that the fraternity
charged that several clubs had players
sign contracts containing a disa ability
clause. and in support of the charges
forwarded contracts of Player John
Henry of Washington and Heating to
the nationa, baseball commission. The
fraternity, Fultz said. made no charge
that the players had been misused
Fuitz admitted Rupert has been fair
to his players, but commended that the
disa bility clause was contained in
Keating's contract. The fraternity, he
asserted, is fighting solely for the
elimination of the disa bility clause.
Concerning the case of Player Vance
sent to the Columbus American asso-
citation team for the New Yorl. Ameri-
cans Fultz said the fraternity gave nc
publicity to the case and that when il
took the case before the national COM
mission 1t was not in possession of all
the facts in the matter.

rial that had made good in fast COM
pany. Last season McGraw had no
scout. 1t is said Kinsella will be back
with the Giants in 1917 and that Nc
Graw may provide him with one or
more assistants.
There was, too, another angle in Ma
tionaI League affairs that helped to put
scouting in a class of extravaganza.
The twenty-one player roster limit
adopted as means of economy in the
days of the Federal League war great
ly reduced the field of action. Further
more, the parent major league appear
ed the more timorous of the outcome Of
battle and sewed up a far greater per-
centage of its talen to term, ironclad
contracts.
These are just now beginning to ex-
pire. Consequently. for the last year
or two veterans in the decline of their
athletic life had to be retained to the
disadvantage of younger blood. The
low roster limit and the term contract
kept a lot of old fossils in and a lot of
young blood out of Educational League
of ate.
A. L. Never Handicapped.
The American League has always
been the stronger in scouting system
It has never been handicapped by a
roster limit, for it never seriously re-
garded it's rule of twenty-five players.
For more than ten years now the

but to look to the Ty Cobbs, the Wal
ter Johnsons, the Frank Bakers, the
Iris Speakers the Joe Woodses, the

the answer.
In the American League they stand
out in great numbers to the few Grover
