of the sum of S. 900 for the institution
of a scholarship in Arabic, one of the
conditions being that it should not be
open to Jews. Upon the recommen-
dalton of the Council the Senate de-
clined the bequest. The Jewish
Chronicle has now been able, through
a private collection, to recoup the uni
versity for the loss resulting from
their refusal of the bequest In trans
hitting the $1,000 collected, the edi-

ton regarding Jews was not. he is
given to understand, by reason of any
prejudice against that people, but be-
cause the testatrix was under the i'm
preston that their presumed know
ledge of Hebrew might give to Jews
an undue advantage in studying Ara
bic. None the less, the action of the
university was deeply appreciated by
the Jewish community. The scholar
ship will be associated with the name
of Professor William Wright.

GOVERNMENT ADOPTS IN
VENTION.
Blood Counting Chamber, Invented
by Max Levy to be Used in
France.

Philadelphia, Pam improved
blood-counting chamber, invented
by Mr.. Max Levy of Germantown,
will be passed upon by the Frank
lin Institute committee next fall.
The implement, biologists and la
boratory experts say, is the best
that has ever been devised and rep
resents permanent step in the di-
rection of making America the
future producer of the higher types
of surgical and laboratory ware.
The United States army medical
authorities have adopted the new
blood counter for use in the great
army to be raised for warfare in
France, and the Bureau of Stan
dards in Washington has accepted
it as the norm of measurement to
which any future counters must
conform in order to receive bureau
certificates. Technically, the device
is known as haemacytometer, and
it is used for making blood tests
by counting the red and white cor
pusc1es in tiny volumes of blood.
Before the war virtually all the
counters came from Germany, and
Of late months there has, of course,
been an absolute lack of imports.
The Philadelphia haemacytometer,
in the standard style, can be de-
scribed as a small piece of glass
which has two small squares ruled
with a multitude of fine lines at
right angles. The idea in having
the two squares, instead of one, is
50 that tests of red and white cor
puscles can be made Simultaneous
ly by one operator on one instru-
ment

WOMEN WORKING ON FARMS
Scarcity Of Laborers Brings Serious
Problem to South Jersey

MULLICA HILL, N. j.. April 2.--women
are helping South Jersey farmers grapple
with the labor problem. A serious shortage
of farmhands is reported and farmers have
been obliged in many cases to pay double
and triple the wages which formerly pre-
vailed.
The farmers wives and daughters have
rallied to their assistance. and scores Of
women are helping plant the crops. Many
taken from school to assist. In Cumberland
County, where there are many large onion
farms, some of the small rural schools were
almost completely depleted of pupils last
week. School officials in several of the
country districts are arranging to hold half
day sessions, so as TO permit the children
to continue their courses and also give
part OF their time at helping with the farm
work.

WATCHMAN IS ABOARD WRECK
 OF THE AL-KI

The report which reached town on Saturday that no watchman was aboard the wreck of the Al-Ki and the fears for the safety of Watch man R. E. Thompson, which were entertained, have proven groundless. It has been ascertained that the watchman is aboard the wreck and is safe.
 On Saturday a wire was received from Deputy Marshal H. F. Morton, from Hoonah, stating that the watch man was not on the wreck and had not been for three days, but that man sent out by Stephen Kane, of that place had been standing by
 Agent A. A. Humfrey, of the Seat tie Steamship Company at once sent Earl Hunter in the Querida to the icene to ascertain what had hap pened to the watchman as it was known that he was perfectly trust worthy and fears for his safety were entertained. MT. Hunter returned his morning and reported that Mr Thompson was on the job and safe, although he was camped about a nile from the wreck in sheltered )ight, but in full sight of the wreck.

Another reason why parties lose power in this country is becouse some of their henchmen acquire $100000.000 worth of bigheadosity when they are appointed to a $1,O00 political office
 The fact of the matter is that most wel-to-do men are that way because they were hard to do.

The statement in the War Department that the department does not expect to the troops go winter quarters and looks for active fighting through the winter applies, may guess mainly the bat tie front in France, and particularly in Flanders
 It is not likely that there will be much fighting in the Alps when winter has fully set while the bitter cold and long nights of Northern Russia will check activity there On that front winter will be friend of Germany and the thing may prove to be true-but in different way-on the front in Flanders.

 Prediction that the day of the cheap newspaper both in price and quality has passed and the public must pay more for it's medium, made in Salt Lake City the other day at the quarterly meeting of advisory board of the Associated Press People in Seward have idea how the cost of producing paper has advanced within the past year Paper is fifty per cent higher, ink has also doubled in price and many colors cannot be purchased at any price; metal has taken jumps by leaps and bounds and the war tax has added it's advance in the cost of production. For instance, there is five-cent tax on every message that the Gateway receives This is only five cents but it means added expense Of about $27 month Then again the postage has gone up and few people realize the constant changes that add here and there until newspaper publisher has his worries increasing daily because he must get out an entirely new issue every day.

ALASKA SCHOOLMA'AMS
(ValdeZ PrOSpectOr)

(Valdez PrOspector)
 Why does a schoomaam who possesses bright smile and winning personality become more precious than pearls, she becomes resident of Alaska? While accurate figures be obtained upon the subject it is estimated that the chances of attrac tive schoomaam marrying attractive Alaskan, Is about 100 per cent, once she lands in this marl- monal bureau In majority of cases it takes urgent pressure by the school board to induce the la dies and to postpone their connubia bliss until the end of the school in order that Minerva will not be sighted The schoolma'am (God bless em) have furnished good wives for thousands of Alaska's bravest and brawniest men, and the Alas kan supply is apparently inexhaustble The States turn the teachers and Alaska turns out the hus bands. And this mixture and brains and brawn re- dounds to the future of the Territory. All women are beautiful, but statistics show that out of 6791 teachers who have come to Alaska for the purpose of teaching the young idea to shoot, 6791 have soon become attached to some genus homo of the vintage of 98. Dressmakers in job lots do well in Alaska, and clerks and stenographers quoted at par but good-lookng schoomaam stampede that lays the Klondike rush far in the shade.
