Washington Could Run.

GAS to running," said Parson Weems in his book sn George Wash ington, 'the swift footed Achilles could scarcely have matched his speed. @Egad, hs ran wonderfully" said my amiable' andi aged friend John Fitzhugh, Esq., who knew him well. @We had nobody heneabouts who. could come near him. There was young Langhorn Dade' of Vest moreland, clean made, tight young fellow and a mighty swift runner, too; but, then, he was no match for George. Langy, indeed, did not like to- give up and would brag than sometimes he had brought George to tie. But I believe he was mis- taken, for I have seen them run to- gether many time, and George al- ways beat him easy enough"

MONUMENT TO WOMAN PIONEER
''Develbpmentl Development!

'Develbpmentl Development! D,v lopment!'.' That has been the uodern cry of Interior Alaska for ea inE that the beginnangs ot her rxlstence' have been almost com. pletely overlooked.
 For instance, who. ever stops nowadays to think of the first trail Blazers, ot this country, those who aame here long before the thirst for gold brought in fortune, hunters? Whoever, in these more recent lays of invasion by white women, sver stops to think of the time when there was 'nt orEe' white women in she mterior2'
 How many of us are'famhiau with The story of Mrs.. John Bean, Aner- can bDrnt the first white woman to penetrate interior Alaska, the first white. woman to beaS a thorough bred white child in interior Alas ka, and the tlrst white woman buried there?
 She and her hus bandI John Bean, came to. St. Michael in 1875. and went to Nulato, where Bean traded ibr the A C. ,Co. Her son was aorn in 1875. In 1878 the family, disregarding. advice given by the whites and aatives, settled 30 miles up the Tanana river, where lived Indians of bad repute.. Here it was that Mrs. Bean was killed while seated at her breakfast table. Her nemains, were buried. at Nulato.
 A monument fitting in character over the grave of this pioneer wo- man was recently erected by Ruby Igloo Mo- 5, Pioneers of Alaska GordcVa Times.

Rust. e Protection.

Many eff the wooden piles in use in Amsterdam as supports for piers, etc., are three to four hundred years old. That part which is not in the ground i'm salt water is often bored by al pile worm near the surface, but is preserved by driving in nails with very large. heads, SO as to give the pile an iron coating. This coat ing is then transformed by the wa ter into layen of rust, which pro- tects the wood from the pile worm- This process must be repeated every fifteen years.

CAMERA MEN IN WAR.

 Exposed and Perilous.

 Exposed and Perileus.
 The, camera has become an es- sential part of war equipment, and in the hands of daring and skilful camera men is not the least dan gerous weapon that modern armies use against one another. The un- prejudicea eye of the camera now preserves on every battlefield rec ord, impossible in the past, of the suffering and misery of warfare. This, let us hope, will help the world to realize the horrors and wicked ness of war.
 Throughout the armies and na- vies of Europe the camera men have been carefully organized The pho- tographer is usually 8 commission ed officer and becomes q recognized part of the great military erganiza- tions. These camera men travel with cavalry, artillery and infantry. They serve with the engineering corps, in the hospItalb, with the aeronauticaI divisions and at sea and are witnesses of every phase of the army's activities.
 When a camera man IS enlisted Re is assigned to one of the com manders, and while serving is re- sponsible to him. The photographer makes his permanent residence at the front at the headquarters of the detachment to which he is assign ed. He is always at the disposal of the field commander at any hour of the day or night and takes orders fuom no one else.
 The life of the camera man at the front is a very hard one. He may be held for days awaiting or ders in the field, perhaps under the most uncomfortable conditions, ready at any moment to start on dangerous detail. At daylight some morning; he is probably di- recbed to- mke' moving pictuucs of a, certain position on the BaMtle- f,eldy a captured trench OF a desert ed village, where the doctors are still working among the dead and wounded. He. may travel by special automobile or with an advanced guard og make, his way on foot alone. The pictures may De- taken from the tottering walls. of a build ing on from the trenches them selves.
 Many films: have been exposed with tfie' bullets literally flying about the camera mans head. It has been common experience for the camera to De shot away or smashed by the impact of an ex- pIoding sheM, Several operators have fallen beside their instru- ments, and a number have. been decorated for conspicuous bravery Danger and exposure are al6 in the days work.

dinals the Cub team pulls out for
Pittsburgh to open their first road
game. Then they tackle Cincinnati
and finally st. Louis. Thirteen road
games will be played, after which the
Cubs return home for six contests
and then depart for a long eastern
jaunt.
When the South Side fans get their
first peek at the fast-traveling White
SOx tomorrow afternoon they will
glimpse practically all the old faces,
but they will be looking at the most
rejuvenated team in major circles.
The present series against the De-
troit Tigers, the old SOx jinx, has
clearly shown the difference between
the Sox of 1917 and the old hair
Drained, weak baserunning team of
last year.
Working against a handicap of one
run and the mastery pitching of
Howard Ehmke, the SOx never lost
their spirit yesterday. They kept on
hammering away at young Ehmke
until the break came in the 8th in
ming and they cinched the game. Be
fore that only one regular wallop had
been made off the Tiger pitcher. That
was a homer by Joe Jackson.
Time and again the Tigers threat
ened Dave Danforth and the SOx
proved they did not need alright
pitching to win ball games. When
ever Dave got into a hole he was
dragged out by some brilliant work
in the field behind him.
An example of team work was CIV
en- in the ninth when Sam Crawford,
batting for Ehmke, doubled. The SOX
were only two runs ahead and only
one Tiger was down. The Sox figured
Crawford would try for the plate on
any kind of a hit by Bush. Bush came
through with clean single to right.
