A Statesman's Remedy

Congress is not entirely destitute of men of good Judgment and sense although to the casual observer it would appear though statesmen in their anxiety to relieve the burdens of the consumer were running round and round in circles without making any genuine progress in solving serious homie problems
 The reason, of course for this undignified aspect the legislative body of the nation is that the toriey seekers always take advantage of crisis force themselves the public gaze, while the men of real worth do entertain the delusion that ready made is always available for every maady that affcts the body polite.
 One might well despair of two recent incidents reflected the views of majority fthe members of either house We the rider the posoffce appropriation bil the purpose which is to add the burdens magazine publishers already carry ing by reason the increased paper and mate rias and to increase the postage; the scheme of Representative Emerson of Ohio for abol- ishing the niquitous middeman by increasing the parcel post weight limit decreasing postage on foodstuffs.
 It is likely that congress. a whole, has any desire to make reading expensive for families living great cities who have been in the habit of subscribing for one more magazines, any than there is any likelihood that congress whole has any faith in the theory that the parcel post be used for clubbing down the cost of living
 Experiments made fairly broad scale have demonstrated that the parcel post be of any real service to the producer and consumer until the Postoffice Department has worked out some scheme for expediting deliveries Increasing the weight limit under present conditions, would simply add to the congestion of the mails and make the transportation of perishable products of failure than present.

 In the last few years electricity has been greatly cheapened by invention indeed, the Popular Science Monthly that it is the cheapest heating light ing and cooking means offered, and that the cost of installation is the chief expense.

POCKET THE SUGAR" FAD
 IN LONDON
Diners-O Out Take Extra Sweet Stuff Against Day When There
 May be None

LONDON, Aug. 10, (By MaiD.- Diners-out in London are regularly engaged just now in practice which is known as "pocketing the sugar. The idea is to lay up a supply of sweetening for day when it may be harder to obtain or, on the part of non-sugar- eating individuals, for their friends who like more than they are allowed. The custom is practised all over the city and in all classes of places where tea and food are served.
 German submarines lately seem to have been especially active against ships that happened to be carrying sugar, with the result that, while there is enough to go around, the sup plies for the distant future are none too large. Tea and coffee are served with just the allowed weight of sugar, usually set alongside the cups in sep arte containers and usually consist ing of halves or thirds of Jumps. It is these pieces of Jumps that most often are seen disappearing into the gold, silver and leather handbags of

 Sugar served for berries or other food is hard to pocket. Nearly al ways it is of the crude variety and very sticky; but collectors of sugar even carry off this kind with them having a convenient envelope or lit tie cloth bag ready for it.
 Lump sugar is much more popular, however, and in the mesh bags of women in London's streets and ho- tels the white cubes, or pieces of them, can be seen mingling with keys, treas ury notes, odd change, powder puffs and other things.
 A new arrival in London who does not take sugar in his or her tea is sure quickly to be asked to "save up for some friend with so-called sweet tooth.

TRAINS RUN TO
 POTTER CREEK

Beginning last week regular service between Anchorage and Potter was instituted and trains running Tues day, Thursday and Saturday morn ings, will run to the present end of steel at the north end of Turnagair Arm. The first train into Potter was run last Saturday.
 In a few days, however, rail work will be pushed beyond Potter for about four miles.
 Virtually all rock work and grad ing for that distance have been com pleted and little delay is expected in placing the rail.
 On the branch line, steel has been laid to Chickaloon river, one and one half miles from the proposed terminus at Chickaloon. The remaining dis tance will not be tracked until the water in the river subsidies sufficient ly to allow the completion of the bridge.
 At present the river is swift and as the need fer train service into Chick aloon at once is not imperative, the bridge forces have bep ordered to wait for more favorable working con ditions.
 On the main line the rail is being laid west from Houston and as the bridges are fairly well along, progress is expected to be rapid. The grade toward Talkeetna is well advanced and officials in charge of the track work have hopes of reaching Talkeet- ma before winter. Present plans in- dicate an effort will be made to con meet the steel to that point this fall.
