At Last a Life
Saving Discovery

ARREST every automobile driver who
exceeds a speed of 20 miles an hour" is
the word that has gone forth from the
police commissioners Office to the force,
backed by the declaration that it goes.
Thistle simplest preventive of street
slsughter--has been the longest coming.
But at that the edict lets the drivers
strain the law to the extent Of FIVE miles
"a 15-nile limit having been fixed by or
dinance in the interest of the continuing
life Of pedestrians and sane drivers.
The malady that prevails among De-
troit motorists is virulent speed obses-
sion.
The rate at which they go is more i'm
portant than destination or what they
do when they get there; or the fate OF
the unfortunates who chance to cross
their path.
Hence the mounting death rate-sacri-
fees upon the altar of Anticipated We
locity.
1t having been proven that these
paranoiacs will not go slow for life and
limbs sake, for humanity's sake. or-we
say it reverently-for Gods sake. they
should be thrown into prison.

Why Germany Clings
To Alsace-LOrraine

The average person when he reads Ger
many pronunciamentoes that they will
war on forever rather than consider Civ
ing up AlsaceLorraine, taken from the
French after the war of 1870, thinks it is
due to a natural reluctance to give up
something taken by conquest. But there
is more than a sentimental reason ami
mating France with keen desire to re-
gain her lost provinces.
The chances are Germany would not
have made war, and would not have been
in the position to make war, if it had not
been for robbing France Of Alsace-Lor-
raine.
BY taking these provinces Germany
took over the Sarre basin with its great
coal fields. II is true Germany already
had considerable portion OF the coal
fields OF Europe, but the advantage of
the Sarre deposits is their location, The
big thing the Prussians gained was the
Briey and Longwy iron deposit How inn
portant these fields are 10 Germany is in.
Dictated by the fact that in 1913 of 2s,.
100000 tons of iron ore extracted in the
German empire. 2i.0OO.00O were from

safer alone on a skiff than on the
barge when the tugmen released that
fiend of a Trask. He had planned to
kill her before she tied him up. He
would certainly do no less now that he
had escaped. Jed had evidently picked
himself up from the rocking-chair trap,

not very accurate and the river nearly

began to ply the oars with great eager

A New Orleans cotton broker EN-
ployed a young woman stenographer
who was ar acutely incorrect speller.
She was so competent in every other
way, he bought her a dictionary and
advised her to use 1t regularly.
The next morning. when he came
down to his Office he noticed that to
protect the new book from the con-
slant wear she vas expected to give Il
she had covered the backs with cloth.

and was Sc glad to have her safely
there again that it was several minutes
before he began to scold her.
She asked him to hush, please, as
she had no time to waste and she
wanted to borrow his yacht and its
entire crew for q while. Pierpont re-
fused the loan with all the severity of
a bank president, but Gloria calmly
sent for the sailing master and in the
presence of her father gave him orders
to be ready as 500 as she had her
long-delayed dinner.
Doctor Royce and Judge Freeman
were at the house. They sat with
Gloria while she told them of her adj
ventures as she ate a hastily reas-
sembled dinner. She said to Doctor
Royce: Il am surprised, Stephen, at
your leaving me alone by myself to
solve my new problems. OF course,
you didn't know where l was going,
but you usually manage to arrive in
the knick of time. You ought to have
been there"
II wish I had been there" Royce re-
piled. His heart acfed at the sight of
her beauty and al the adventurous
spirit which sent her tender body into
so much danger with so few resources.
II won't let you quit my sight again,
Gloria" he said and stared with such
idolatry that she felt afraid that he
was loving her too well.
"Then you will come along and help
ME to capture the man VINO killed my
beloved Dick?"
"All right, captain" said Royce with
q plucky smile, though her allusion to
Freneau cut him TO the quick.
Judge Freeman seemed to be ag1-
tated by the plan Gloria outlined for
the pursuit and capture of Trask.
You must not permit this, Pierpont,"
he protested, ~anxiously. your daugh-
ter has no legal right to arrest the man
Trask. II she should capture him she
would have to turn him over to the
authorities and she would have to face
q public explanation"
Gloria retorted with vigor: "You had
him, judge, and you said that he
slipped out of your fingers. Now you
advise me not to go after him again.
You let him escape once and want me
to let him escape a second time. Why,
l do not know. Why don't you tell me
why?"
Judge Freeman looked away guiltily.

answer was to him and not to Gloria.
you must realize, Pierpont, that
such a cruise is no place for a girl Of
Gloria's position and breeding"
That's true" said Pierpont. "It's
all off, Gloria"
"No, it isn'tI" Gloria cried. IF you
don't help me to catch that fiend I'll
get the police after him."
"What policeT" Pierpout laughed.
"The local chief? He couldn't capture
q snail"
"The man Is out of his Jurisdiction,
anyway" said the Judge. 1T would be
quite a complicated process getting the
fellow arrested and he would probably
be hard to find"
my way is a very simple way" said
Gloria. "Instead of sending, go !!
That's a good motto. But the judge
will neither send nor go, and once
more / want TO ask him why?"
The judge was not used to being
c~ross-examined and he bore 1t lily. He
faltered:
"Soma DIV you'1 know and vou'JI
realize that l acted for your peace Of
mind"
MY piece of mind depends on cap
turing that man" Gloria answered

Royce saluted and waited for orders.

Gloria's little white finger pointing at
him, hearing her cry out again:
"You killed him l saw you!"
The daybreak found HIM stretched
out at the stern of the canal boat, looks
ing south for some possible avenger.
He saw the yacht swooping up the
stream long before Gloria made hinss

canny speed of the boat meant busE

Social Chat

Misses Emily and Hazel Borgen, daughters of Mir. and Mrs. G. w. Bor- gen, arrived on the Mariposa this morning from Tacoma where they have been attending school.
 The dance given Saturday night by the Arctic Brotherhood was attended by a good sized crowd. Just as it was breaking up the Farragut whistled in and most of the dancers upon hearing the Italian band, which was on board en route to Anchorage, went down and gaily fox tro,'ed and coor-sluifled OCT the dock With a small amount of persuasion by the right parties the members of the band consented to play for them and the crowd went back and enjoyed the rare treat until 2;SO o'clock.
