 In the series of articles entitled "The Glory of the States" running in popular magazine. emphasis i. put upon the natural resources that would support life if "a wall was built around the state" shutting off all outside supplies.
 
 How long could We live in flask, without suffering serious discomfort if the shipment of food supplies iron the States was entirely discontinued
 The question was asked of an m. telhgent native woman in Juneau an, she lifted her eyebrows in amused sur prise. My people lived here for gen erations before the food of the white man came from the outside was the prompt reply, But how? Ot comso we know there was an abundance oi berries, of game and fish, but wha, else did they eat?"
 Whereupon the dark-Skinned house wife, a graduate of Carlisle, proceed ed to unfold the possibilities of sus- taining life in Alaska without "c from "the States" There are, Il seems, certain roots that furnish a. the elements found in the common vegetables. The root bulb ot a cer- tgin variety of fern is comparable to the sweet potato; wild celery is abund- ant-produced by certain other species of fern and properly blanchcd with wood ashes. Wild rice may be gath cred in Southeast Alaska. Pounded into flour it furnishes the necessary bread or cake. Of greens there IS almost infinite variety, besides the time-honored dandelion chief among them, in Southwest Alaska the tender tops of the fireweed. Of wild onions there is an abundance, and, lacking salt, they furnish flavor and savOr to the delectable "muligan.'
 The list of meats, rapidly enumer- ated, seemed to leave nothing to be desired. Our fish products are unsur- passed. Delicious clans lie in wait for us in almost every sandy beach. Berries provide jelly, jam and mar malade.
 But what about butter and eggs?

Gordon Repudiates
 Volunteer Defenders

Spencer R. Gordon, the retiring superintendent of the board of chari- ties, gave his volunteer supporters a rude shock this morning, by giving out statement to the effect that he resents ''the ranting criticism and unjust publicity which my resignation has engendered."
 Charges by prominent Bridgeport persons which have been given pub licity, that Gordon was a competent superintendent who failed to "stand in with political leaders" were repu- diated by the latter today He states in his literary effort to the public that condemnation of the commis- sioners and department by his SUD- porters, "smacks of a distorted view point almost too 1oathsome to men tion."
 Just what he means by the latter comment, which has puzzled his SUD- portegs, he refused to state today and he said he did not care to qualify the statement. Gordon intends to tell all' at a meeting of the board Thurs day, he states in his public letter and hopes the "patience'' of the commis- sioners twill await that hour.''
 Allegations that the emergency hos pital was unclean has reused the ire of attaches of the institution and phy- sicians todAy denied these reports. The cleaning of the hospital comes under the supervision of Miss Rather in Hehir, the nurse at the hospital and in justice to her the physicians stated her orders were always carried out.

Stranded on Pan After He Had to Abandon Boat,
 He Is Nearly Frozen.

BROOKLAWN CLUB
 OFFICIALS HAND IN RESERVATIONS
Rumors of Disaffection Rife, But Press of Business Is
 Given As Reason

Wholesale resignatiOns from the of try club have been sent in and are likely to be accepted. Among the off, f1cers who will sever their active con- nection with management of the club, already made known in advance of the meeting, are Waldo c. Bryant, president; Jonathan Godfrey vice president; Charles A. Baldwin, secre- tary, Frank T. Staples, treasurer and Samuel M. Hawley, chairman of the house committee.
 Though discussion of affairs at the handsome country club is rife among the members, varying in intensity of degree from. charges that "cliques" rule to more unkind assertions that atemSts were made by some of the members to force sale of the clubs lands to members at prices inconsist- ent with prevailing realty values, the reasons ascribed by the individual members are substantially as followss:
 Jonathan Godfrey because of the recent death of Mrs. Godfrey desires most urgently to be relieved to the work that requires his constant and active attendance at the club.
 Waldo c. Bryant, having served his term as president does not seek re- election.
 Charles A. Baldwin and Samuel Hawley were 10th to serve during the last year and made it plain at the in- ception of their office that when their terms had expired they would under no circumstances accept the duties again.
 The nominating committee has not as yet offered a slate for consideration of the members, pending further con- ferences among their members. It is currently reported that Elmer H. Ha- vens, who as a member of tho house | committee has constantly devoted himself to the building of the new clubhouse and promoting novel enter tainments to improve the life, is be. l ing strongly advocated for the presi- dency.
 The clubs finances undoubtedly are 1 in, fiourishing condition with greatly 1 increased land values, handsome
 clubhouse as an asset and waiting | list for membership, but there un- 1 questionably is a strong division o1 l opinion over the election of new off, l cers with the prospect that there will be more than one ticket in the field when election time comes.

FAST
 AS PROSPECT OF
 SERVICE GROWS

Enlisting for the Connecticut Naval volunteers is going on apace, accord Ing to Lieut.. Albert J. Merritt in com mand of the ordinance department oi the state. The possibility of active service has attracted many in Brldge- port and also in other cities.
 While the enlisted men are not burdened with other than the regu- lar drills, the officers throughout the state are extremely active, the radio stations being in continual communi' cation with each other. All during the night the instruments ct the To- cal armory were missing their mess ages back and forth to Norwalk, Stamford, New Haven and Hartford and this morning officers had sheaves of telegrams for their considera- tion.
 In the aeroplane section now being assembled by order of the navy de- partment, it was announced today that eight men and one officer are pre- pared to stand the necessary exam nation and will be held in readi- ness to depart to Pensacola, Fla,
