ENGLISH GIRLS ARE SMOKERS
Ono Ilapper Consumes $50 Cigarets
Each Neck

The habit of cigaret smoking among
women and girls is growing at an
alarming rate. Before the outbreak
of war these women who found con-
ISOLATION in the weed smoked in sem
sible moderation, usually smoking
from fifteen to twenty cigarets
week But not so now for the smok-
ing craze has made such a heauway
that there are thousands of women
at the present time who think nothing
of smokingg 100 to $50 cigarets a
week.
Three years ago woman suffering
from n smokers heart" was an IT.,
omaly Today it is quite a common
complaint, and recently well known
doctor estimated that nearly 10 pee
cent of his women patients We're sui
fering from Illness brought on by eX-
cessive smoking. Some women are
never happy unless they are coulllns
My Lady Nicotine" They are pre-
pared to take all risks in order to sat-
isfy their craving.
An acquaintance of thhe writer's, a
young girl of II, boasts that she can
get thru" n box of fifty cigarets
day. When asked by the writer how
she possibly manages to consume tnis
enormous amount ana keep Her nedltIi
she replied: II cannot set to sleep
without smoking nine or ten c'gar-
cts. and il is simply ripping to wake
up early, light a cigaret and read
In bed until breakfast
Tobacconists state that there are
hundreds like this young 'flapper.
And these girls are to be regarded as
mothers of the future. Never was
there such a time when babies were
of such vital importance rs today
yet, at this critical period. when we
need strong, healthy children to fill
the ranks, depleted by those who nave
gone before" there are likely TO
come into the world race of weak
lings who have paid the price of their
mothers devotion to tobacco.
1t is the duty Of every British girl
who has her countrys interest at heart
to realize that excessive smoking
might easily imperil the empire, and
those who find 'the dainty cigaret
soothing to their nerves should smoke
In moderation. An occasional cigar
ct is all right, but $50 week Is
bound to be harmful.

The Study OF God.

Religion has two principal tnemies.
Fanaticism and lnfidelity. or that
which is called atheism. The first re-
auires to be combated by reason and
morality. the other by natural philoso-
ply.
The existence of God is the first
dogma of the heophllanthropists.
Tho universe is the Bible of Il true
heophilanthropist. 1t is there that
he reads of God. 1t is there that the
proofs OF his existence are to DO
sought and TO be found
Contemplating the universe, the
system of creation, in this point OF
light, we shall discover that all that
which is called natural philosophy Is
properly divine study.-Thomas
Paine.

EREIGHTER WHO FROzE FEET
is OUT ON CRCTCHES
Arthur Mauzey Discharged from Cor
dova Hospital, on Road to
Recovery

Arthur Nancy, the freighter, who
froze his feet quite badly while
freghting on the trail the latter part
of March, arrived in town Wednes-
day on the Alaska and is rapidly re-
covering from the ill effects of his
unfortunate accident. Mr.. Nancy,
who was a driver for the Mier's
freighting outfit, had the misfortune
to get into an overflow on a lake on
March %, and his feet were frozen
into veritable chunks of ice before
he could reach assistance. While his
feet were saved they were so badly
frozen that for a time is was consid-
cred doubtful if they could be saved.
Mr.. Mauzey is compelled to get about
on crutches yet, but it will be only a
short time until his recovery is COM

BRITISH MAY HELP MAN
SHIPS SEIZED BY AMERICA

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Is
Many of the German vessels seized
in American ports at the beginning of
the war may b manned by British
mrchant marine officers if enough
American officers cannot be found for
them. The shipping board recon-
mendd to President Wilson today an
extension of the Panama Canal proc
lamation of 1914, which would per-
nit this.
The government expects to have
great difficulty in finding both officers
and men for the great fiet of vessels
the shipping board is preparing to
build. Congress will be asked soon to
empower the president to suspend
CERTAIN provisions of the navigation
laws to permit an interchange of
American and Canadian shipping in
the Great Lakes to allow British YES
sells to ply between American ports
and Porto Rico.
A shortage of coastwise shipping
on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf
coasts, it is believed, may be met un-
der the law creating the shipping
board to operate in any coastwise
trade any vessel it may charter. For
eign vessels, therefore, may be char
tered and operated by the board for
coast ships. At present they are bar
red from engaging in coastwise trade.

SIGNIFICANCE OF ACTION

1t is significant that former Dele
gate Wickersham based his argument
against the confirmation and the re-
appointmnt Of Judge Jennings on the
latter's decision in the Delegateship
contest in which Judge Jennings held
that Delegate Sulzer was entitled to
a certificate of election. The judiciary
committee of the Senate is made up
wholly of lawyers, Democrats and
Republicans, and they were selected
for position on that committee on ac-
count of the circumstance that they
were good lawyers. Many of them
were Judges before they were Sen
ators, and among them are many of
the strongest and oldest in years of
service among the Senators. Notwith-
standing the protest and argument
presented by Judge Wickersham, this
committee of lawyers reported una
nimously in favor of the confirma-
ton of the Judge protested against
The record was completed yesterday

long, senseless article advises the
American people what to eat. II the
gentleman really desires to earn his
salary he will tell the people how"
to eat and leave the choice Of CONTEST
ibes to their discrimination. 1t gives
a person a wobbycobble to see man
telling housewives who have grown
old cooking meals and trying to make
both ends meat" how to cook eco
nomically. The man who has raised a
large family on $50 per day in the
States is much more able to talk on
saving than a man who draws a
big salary from the government. The
question before the people today is
not what to eat but how to eat.

BETHLEHEM EARNINGS SOAR

The Guaranty Trust Company yes
terday issued statement to holders
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation's
per cent secured notes, which said
that the corporations net earnings
in the quarter ending March 81 we're
equal to more than $26 a share of
common stock
I'm other words" said the state
ment, 1.-The corporation in the first
quarter earned more than two and
a half times the regular annual stock
dividend of 10 per cent. While the
increase in capacity of shipbuilding
yards throughout the country within
the last two or three months makes
it impossible to ascertain the pres
ent capacity, we understand that the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation has un-
til recently controlled about 40 per
cent of the shipbuilding industry of
the country. We are advised that the
corporation now has about 1876 ves-
sells under construction or contracted
for which have not yet been deliver
ed.
I'm view of rmarkable earnings
in prospect, one clause of the trust
any cash dividends in excess of 10
to noteholders. This provides that if
agreement is of special significance
per centare paid on the common stock
an equal amount shall be turned over
to the Trustee to be used for buying
outstanding notes or for redeeming
them at price not exceeding 101
and accrued interest.

PINCHOT AGAIN NAILED

Once again Clifford Pinchot has had
some of his pct theories punctured.
In the vicinity of Cordova, Alaska.
included in the Chugach forest re-
serve, which is equal in area to the
state of Kentucky, and which, ac-
cording to Clifford Pinchot, contains
$4,000. 900 feet of marketable
timber which must be conserved for
our children's grandchildren, the Uni
ted States is establishing an import
ant radio station. For distance of
some ten miles between two stations
of the wireless system, telegraph
line had to be built, and recently the
u. S. transport Saturn was tied at the
Cordova dock unloading some 500,-
900 feet of telegraph poles for use
on the Chugach forest reserve.
Strangest feature Of all, these poles
came from San Francisco, but de-
ponent sayeth not as to where they
were cut. They we're small poles and
axemen could have certainly cut
them from the reserve nearby in a
short time. Plain, unfinished, rough
hewn telegraph poles shipped by the
u. S. government to a U. S forest re-
serve, is certainly a remarkable IL
lustration. Something is radically
wrong with either the administration
of the forest service in Alaska or the
propaganda of Clifford Pinchot.-Ex.

LOUIE'S CAFE SOON
READY FOR BUSINESS
One of tl.s Most Cp-to-date Restau-
rants and Bakeries in the
North

Andy Marovich announced today
that his new cafe and bakery in the
building formerly occupied by the
Valdez Drug Store would be complet-
ed within a short time and that it
would be opened for business as soon
as possible. The new bake oven was
fired up this week and works to per-
lection. When the new quarters are
finished Mr.. Marovich will undoubt-
eddy have one of the finest eating
houses in the North. The equipment
is all new and up to date, and is the
finest that could be procured any
where. Nine tables and lunch count
er will occupy the front room, with
ample shelf room and lockers for
bread and pastry. A large ice box
has been constructed, and lavatory
and comfort station provided. The
walls have been newly papered and
the floor covered with linoleum. The
kitchen is large and spacious, and is
finished with beaver board turnout.
In the rear is the large bake oven,
nine by seven feet inside, which will
bake bread and pastry enough for
a city three times the size of Valdez.
1t has a capacity of about 5000
loaves per day. Everything is new
and of the finest materials possible.
Gus Gustafson constructed the bake
oven and Robert Weber and George
Kirk manufactured the shelving and
counters. Nearly every article in the
building was bought at home. the
cabinet work being equal to that Of
any factory outside, and the bake ov-
en- being built by Valdezan.

OUAKERS TO BAR SIlACkERS

So great was the rush of conscript-
able youths to the tenets OF the
Quker faith, whose members are ex-
empted from CONSUMPTION by virtue
of their religious opposition to war,
that the Society of Friends planned
to bar all converts of military age
