NEWS NOTES OF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST

SEATTLE-Government officials
are conducting a rigid investigation
into the charges which have been
made that there are hundreds OF
young men in Seattle and King Coun
ty, between the ages of 81 and 81
who failed to register in accordance
with the draft law. 1t is quite a
we'll known fact that the officials
are being aided in this Investigation
by large number of patriotic in
dividuals, whose sons have answer
ed the call of the Government.
These citizens while perfectly will
ing that their sons should serve the
Government are of the opinion tina;
the slackers should be rounded up
and compelled to join the army. Ma
ny cases of fraud in connection with
the draft law are coming to light.
Mothers have sworn that their sons
were not of eligible age while a
search of the records show that the
reverse is true. 1t is expected that
within short time wholesale ar
rests will be made in this connect
ton and it is promised by Govern
ment officials that the facts in their
possession will create senation,
particularly in view of the facts that
sons of some of the best known fam
lilies of the city are among the slack
erS.

There is hardly a county in the
state which does not contain citizens
who are mourning as a personal
loss the death of Superior Judge r..
B. Albertson, who passed away in
this city during the past week of
cancer. Judge Albertson has figured
prominently in the politics of the
state for many years. He was a
member of the state legislature, was
speaker of the House one session
and as superior court judge has
occupied the bench in most of the
counties of the state. 1t is not eX-
aggeration to say that he was one
of the most learned jurists of the
country, and ever since he ascend
ed the King County bench was cred
tied by lawyers as being the ablest
judge that ever sat on the King Coun
ty bench. While Judge Albertson
had number of very warm person
al friends of years standing among
members of the King County Bar
these friends never expectd and GER
tainly never received anything more
than an even break when they tried
cases before him. In fact Judge AL
bertson was always inclined to lean
little towards the other lawyer.
Col. C. C. Dalton, lawyer and pol
itician, of Seattle, was probably
Judge Aibertson's closest friend.
Col. Dalton tells of a man who came
to him one day and wanted to retain
him as his lawyer to try case pend
ing before Judge Albertson. "You
and Albertson are good friends"
said the man land decision in my
favor means big fee for YOU"
"My FRIEND" said Col. Dalton, "if
you want to win that case hire an
other lawyer. have had five cases

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No foolishness! Lift your corns

It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns OF
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri.
tate the surrounding skin while ap.
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest,"
many Of our readers. IF your druggis,
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv. *

more fitting for the nations birthday?
We should be a nation of athletes !;
there is no day better than July for
arOusing the latent strength of man
hood or exhibiting what is already de-
veloped. Surely the parks should ring
with the best music our bands can
produce. Men gifted with power to
sway the multitudes should this day
tell what the nation stands for and
pay tribute to those who are
Slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle and merciful and just!
Who, in the fear of God, do bear
The sword of power, a nations trust.
Today we are in need of a patri-
Otism as great as that Of '76. The Oc-
casion is different and the problem re
quires greater wisdom in it's solution.
1t is a satisfaction to remember that
the national sword has never been
lifted in conquest. The glory of the
starry flag is that she is an emblem Of
freedom of conscience, religion and
civil liberty. Except in the cause of
humanity she has never been in battle.
Not all that has been done under her
is worthy of praise, but it is safe to
say that few nations have a more I'm,
selfish record.

TO Keep Phone Cord Straight.

A new conrtivance described in
Scientific American promises to keep
the kinks out of flexible telephone
cords. The device consists of ''two
small composition parts turning on
central spindle, all inclosed in two
brass shells or covers. Between the
two rotating parts are two ball races
that serve both as fractional bearings
and as conducting means. The cord
terminals are easily connected to the
binding screws on each part, and there
is ample room for a strain knot within
each shell. The freedom of the swivel
ing Of the two halves eliminates the
snarling of the cord.'
