MOTHER AND SON

The one thing which a mother fails to take note of in her son is growth. That is, inc is always her little boy. She is as anX- ious about him when he is eighteen or twenty as she was when he was six or seven. She does not seem to realize that he is ca pablo of taking care of himself; that he knows great deal about the world; that ac has grown since the carly days when he was helpless in her arms.
 If Inc does not come to his meals on time and few boys do if they can find some hing else to employ their attention mother worries lest something has befallen him. She wonders why he does not think of mcaltimc-as if any boy ever thought of anything but his own pleasure, and if he can have more pleasure with a gang of boys than going home to dinner, he isn't going to think of dinner. So mother wor- rics about the boy long after she ought to cease worrying. But it is mother-natme,
 and all the scrmonizing in the world will mot change mothcr-nature.
 It isn't the same with the daughter. Mother takes more note of her growth. She understands girls better, of course, having been girl herself She can anticipate what daughter will do for she knows what she would do under the circumstances. She feels that daughter can take care of her self, because she knows she took care of herself when daughters age. But the boy he is an enigma to mother past all under standing, a thing to cause work and worry and mcasncss. Father Bmows-a d smiles. He knows the boy is coming through all right a little scared, or little mmred, perhaps, but coming through just the same. And fathers tranquility when Iomny's absence is worrying mother, adds fuel to ahamc that is already burning too brightly for the comfort of the household. Exchange.

PRECEPT AND PRACTICE

The Review received this week by the same mail a request, and am order for the insertion of advertising. The request came from the United States Government and carries mo compensation. The order came from am advertising agency and will be paid for at regular advertising rates The Gov cumcut communication was printed on a high grade linen bond paper that costs in the market today about 35 cents per pound, with great big formidable appearing off cial envelope to match. The order from the advertising agency was printed on news paper that costs 6 cents per pound, and was enclosed in a small manila envelope, The request from Uncle Sam will be chcerfully complied with. because the Review desires to do it's full duty, and more if possible, in this period of national stress. The order for advertising will be filled, possibly with more intensified joy, because it will help pay the taxes the government is planning Co impose upon all newspapers Ncvcrthe- less. we cannot help wondering why the government which is laying so much stress upon the necessity of economy in all walks of life should employ 35 cent paper to per form a six cent mission. We love our Uncle Sam with a love that passes expression, .but our affection would not be diminished a spccl if he would put some of his own prcccpts into practice. By so doing he might occasionally bc able to pay the coun- fry newspapers for some portion of the endless columns of space which he asks and usually receives without mTmur or pro tcst-Toppcuish (Wash.) Review.

There was some mfavomblc comment heard last Saturday morning concerning the action of the city council at a special meeting held the previous night in sane tiouiug thc transfer of the lease held by the Island Ferry Company from the city to the Juneau Ferry 6 Navigation Com pauv and in renewing the mcNpircd lease without the matter being even discussed by the people who laborcd for years to bring about the installation of the Island Ferry Company. While it is not at all probable that anything different could have been done had the object of the meeting been made public and freely discussed all matters of as much public concern as that of ferry service between the Island and mainland should be carefully consider ed rather than rushed through at star cham bcr sessions, especially when regular meeting of thc council is but three days off However. all who are couvcrsaut with the ferry situation from a business standpoint must admit that the present service as given by the consolidated companies iS as much as the patronage warrants and prob ably more.

 He further says: "We look for our bus mess in Russia to increase 1000 per cent. The same is true in China.'

CAPTURING A
 SUBMARINE
Traps Set Underseas for Enemy Yes sells Are Certain Destruction
 to Victims

A submarine net is made of wire rope about us thick as a lead pencil, and Che mcshes are of great size
 about ten or fifteen feet square. The net has floats on top that keep bob- bng up and down like the float on nshlnc, and on tho bottom are weights that keep the whole thing in a perpendicular position.
 The submarine cannot submergc Co very great depths on account of the pressure, 200 feet being about the limiting depth. It sails nno- gently along, therefore. until it pushes its nose into these meshes. The net now trails along on both sides Of the submarine, its progress revealing the fact that something below is supplying the motive power.
 Perhaps the net suddenly stops That means that the hidden sub marine has stopped, its nayigators having made the horrible discovery that they are trapped, or perhaps the net has become twisted in the propeller Under these conditions the wise submarine rises Co the sur face. It surronders, becomes the property Of the enemy, and its crew are made prisoners.
 IT it docs not take such action one of two things will happen The enemy will wait upon the surface until the submersiblo comes up, or if it starts moving Che enemy will follow until the inevitable uprising. But perhaps the surface commander gets impatient. In such eases he can let a bomb down into the water which will explode when it touches the roof of the submarine or course tho submerged submarine knows that this bomb Is likely Co drop at any minute. Tho psychol- ogy Of such a situation tends to persuade tho imprisoned crew to

ALGERIA a Now France,

After vast expenditure in lives and
treasure, France is beginning to reap
it's reward from the conquest Of Al.
geria. A hundred years ago the north
ern African country was the abode Of
barbarism. and piracy was the principal
occupation OF its people. The United
States was the first nation to revolt
against the payment Of tribute to the
dey of Algiers for protection" to COM
merce, and after a brief but thrilling
conflict the buccaneer chieftain was
brought to his knees.
In 1927 the French took up the white
mans burden in Algiers and after a
struggle of thirty years subdued the
country. Under the monarchy and the
second empire the government Of AL
geria was based solely on force. but the
republic won the allegiance Of the
Algerians by withdrawing the military
government from all the settled por-
tons of the country. which have since
been treated very much as If they were
part of France, each department send
