ITBLOMST IN SEWARD

The Times disikes to believe it, but it must be true, because it was printed in the Seward Gateway Never theless it goes against the grain to acknowledge that vessel anchored in the beautiful harbor of the ResmTec- .ion bay city could be blown out by the terrific gales which rage constantly in that section
 The only reason The Times hestates to believe the story is that all shipping men no wwel that there is very little and very poor anchorage in the Seward har- bor they know also that the wind from the hills whistles constantly through he city, the only variation being that
 sometimes blows harder than others and for these req sons the careful mariner who contempates having his vessel lie in the Seward harbor usually gets line ashore in order to withstand the perpetual gale.
 The story was printed in The Times not to knock Seward but merely the way of information in order to uard any other careless shippers who might in the future contemplate call at the windy port-AnchOrage Times.

Van Cortland
The prince who holds your hand IN
firm. competent grasp, who keeps you from
falling in treacherous crack, who laughs
with YOU in sheer eXuberance Of youth and
sunshine-who is one with you in the com
munion of sweet fresh air and motion
such a prince our canny little Cinderella
knows. is ten times more fun than any to
be found in tinsel and gold bathrooms. So
she stands on her rights. jingling her great
skates.
Il know I'm not very pretty-now, she
says. MY eyes are little bit dull from
so much stenography, and my cheeks never
look very pink in this subway light, but
see my skating boots! When | put them
on. it's like magic. Ny face gets as pink;
and | laugh as if I'd never heard Of a
typewriter. Of course, the skates are
pretty big. but if you're a real prince
you'll be glad of that. 1t isn't the size of

in them, that really counts"

Cinderellas on Skates

Magic slippers may be distinguished not
only by exquisite smallness and perfect
shape, but, as in the case Of our own Gin
derellas Of the skating rink, by really
ludicrous size and ungainly form. We
know they must be Cinderellas because
only the consciousness of noble birth and
romantical possibilities could enable girl
TO carry such bulky footwear in the full
view of the world. Frankly and un-
ashamed, she goes TO meet her prince, not
in closed carriage Of gold, but in the sub
way with her steel slippers on her arm.
Time was when Cinderellas felt com
PEELED 10 live up 10 the letter Of the ro-
nance. Feet to be loved by a prince must
be tiny, they thought, and so they pinched
and squeezed their poor prince-getters into
impossible and cruel pumps, until they had
killed all their dancing power forever.
To-day our Cinderellas are wiser. With
royal Indifference TO tradition, they carry
their capable skies and sevens for all 10
see. Wiser, too, in their demands upon
romance, they would not trade the thrill
Of the glttering ice for any hot whrl Of
bathrooms. II is what every modern Gin
derela knows, that you can dance with
prince for dozen nights, and IL will not

The Nation Modified

At a recent meeting of the Civic Fedora
ton Mr.. Coffin gave an account OF the
progress made by the Committee of Indus
trial Mobilization, which shows that the
American people are getting from the war
a wholly new idea of what it means TO DE
a nation If five years ago any one CON
nected with the government at Washing
ton had stood up in a meeting of manu-
facturers and labor men and suggested
that 10000 companies send to the national
authorities reports of their equipment for
making products needed in time of war,
and that the government be given the night
to commander whole industries and set
them to work for the nation, there would
have been storm of opposition and gen.
eral outcry Of Socialism.
Yet we are told that all this has been
authorized and that it is only the begin
ming. Out of hundreds of larger automo-
bile manufacturing concerns, provision Is
made 20 that less than score would De
making cars the day following declara-
ton Of war. Arrangements, it is said, Will
soon be perfected so that in the event OF
serious crisis the entire industrial life OF
the nation would be Immediately trans
formed into cooperative public service.
Government orders and government IN
spection are to be the rule in times OF
peace in order to secure efficiency In the
day of need.
These and other plans of the National
Council Of Defence will mean probably the
greatest change that has ever occurred IN
our history as nation. The war has
brought about at a single stroke develop
nrent of national consciousness the world
over which years of agitation for govern
mental control could not have achieved
Modern warfare. on pain Of national ex-
tinction, demands that the whole nation,
both men and resources, be modified. Such
mobilization means more than the tradi-
tional methods of preparedness and mill
tary training. 1t necessitates degree OF
coordination, of planning ahead. of gov
ornamental control and specialization such
as democratic societies have never known
before.
The great task before our country is to
socialize our resources without sinking
down into Prussian paternalism; to or
ganize industry without handing over to
the state the independence of mind, IN
dividual initiative, personal freedom and
moral responsibility of men. Specialization
of the means of defence and survival is a
great forward step in progress. although
specialization of the inner life of people
would be recession toward tyranny.

Appendicular Conservation

There is a legislator in South Dakota
who is old-fashioned enough to be at
tached to his vermiform appendix, and in
the interest of all who are still embar-
raised in the same way he has undertaken
to draw up a bill for the conservation Of
that troublesome and commonly despised
incumbrance.
His project is simplicity itself. He in
vites the Legislature to place every human
appendix in South Dakota under state con-
troll. 1t is objected that if this were done
it would entail grave injury to the sur
geons Of the state. His reply Is that the
surgeon is still at perfect liberty to pur-
sue his trade subject only to reasonable
restrictions in the matter Of diagnosis.
What he proposes is simply this, that after
removal every appendix be sent to the
state laboratory for examination by state
Psychologists. If they decide that it ought
TO have been removed, well and good; if
not, the surgeon must go without his fee.
The measure is well enough conceived
as check upon the zeal of the ready OPP
orator and leaves patients at great liberty
to indulge in the forgotten luxury of a
transient tummyache or to die decently Of
perityphlitis, as their forefathers were ac-
customed to do. But why should the fu-
tile and impertinent appendix be singled
out for such extraordinary protection
while the rest of South Dakota's insides
are left at the mercy of the ruthless dag
nostician?
We have not yet heard Of any act to
protect the population against the habit
lual enucleator Of tonsis, or even against
the militant dentist, with his appalling and
er-growing list of disasters attributable
to potentially costly disorders of the gums
and other regions properly under his CON
troll. But, stranger still, the vast posi-
bilities of the abdominal cavity are left
entirely &t the mercy of the surgeon, who
| is apparently free TO tinker to his hearts
content with the peoples interiors, provided
only that he withhold his knife from the
superfuous appendix. How backward South
Dakota must be! What a glorious field
for some popularizer Of comparatively mod
ern diversions, such as short-circuting

The Mississippi Comes Back

iron, The memphis Commercial AppodH
The word comes down from the steel and
mining centres along the Ohio River that a
great revival in river transportation is to
be seen on the Mississippi River during the
present year. For one thing, great increase
in coal towing to the southern territory is
TO be opened up, and for this purpose alone
many steel barges are now under construc-
tion at Ambrdge, Penn, where the American
Bridge Company plant is located.
Congestion Of rail facilities, the surprising
cheapness OF water transportation and the
nearing Of the time for the expiration Of
long-term rail contracts are said TO be the
reasons for the reported reawaEening Of river
transportation. One industrial concern at
Pittsburgh, which moved coal by its own feet,
did IL at one-eghth the rail cost.

marine policy is going to bring Great
Britain to her knees, she also certainly
thinks that she can afford to take a chance
On driving all neutral maritime powers
into the Entente Alliance. They cannot
harm her much on land; and her states
men have now been fully inoculated with
the madness that if German victory is 10 be
achieved at all it is to be achieved at sea.
We look, therefore, for German overt
acts which will precipitate a declaration
of war by the United States. Making war
will be an awkward undertaking for us.
Our people have fallen deep into the rut
Of pacifstic relaxation. We have refused
to learn how to defend our rights. Per
haps certain portion of our population
will be somewhat lukewarm about defend
ing them.
But however poor and awkward figure
we may make as nation which has lived
for a generation in FOOLS paradise and
awakes to find its folly nightmare to it
however sincerely most of us may deplore
the necessity of going to warts being
forced on US will prove in the end ma
tional benefit. We have never been in the
true sense a nation. We are not now a
nation in spirit or in organization, We
are Unfortunately hyphenated, and split,
besides, into sectional groups.
A war, whatever its cost, would help to
.nationalize us. 1t would drive at last
into our consciousness the thought Of a
nationality worth fighting for. 1t would
bring us to a realization that nation
cannot live by words alone-that there
must be force behind these words which
gives them vitality and significance. A war
with Germany now would end forever the
menace Of war with japan. For the
menace of trouble with Japan has been
kept alive for years only because of our
foolish antipathy to military preparedness
If war must come--not by our act but
by Germany's-we should welcome it. We
have a righteous cause--a cause for
which we fought a century ago, and
lagainst much greater odds. It's righteous

Just now of being exalted and unified
than is the United States.
