DONT'S FOR THE GIRLS.

Don't put every cent you earn on your back.
 Don't wear inappropriate clothes.
 Don't imagine every man who is pleasant to you is in love with you.
 Don't think that your employer is paying you for the pleasure of look ing at you.
 Don't think that advancement in life comes without honest effort.
 Don't wear your sweet manners for outsiders.
 Don't marry the first fellow that asks you. He may not know his own mind any more than you do.
 Don't take life too seriously; but take it seriously enough to be true and honest both to yourself and to others.-Exchange.

TALK OF SAVING DAYLIGHT.

Considerable discussion is being forward of the hands of the clock in order to save an hour of daylight. Of course, as everyone knows, it would not actually save an hour of daylight. That would be impossible. So far as the records show there has been only one man in the history ct he world who has saved daylight aAd t!iat N; Joshua, who commanded the sun to stand still until he could whip the armies of the enemies of ihe Lord.
 It is more amusing than otherwise, therefore. to hear people discuss this question. There is no reason why the hands of the clock should be set for ward in the first place. If d than wants to begin his days work an hour earlier all he has to do is to be- gin it. If large Industrial plant wants to begin work at 5 o'clock in tEe morning instead of 6 all it has to do is to begin at the earlier hour.
 There is no class of workers who value daylight more than the tiiler of the soil. In fact he can not do farm work except during the daylight hours.
 But the farmer has never had to set his clock ahead an hour in order to deceive himself into going to work. On the farm the time for rising is about o'clock and in very few in- stances are farmers found ai'ed after that hour in the morning.
 The farmer has never so much as given the matter of moving up the hands of his clock thought, In oth- CT words the farmer does not let his clock govern his movements. He works by the sun. When daylight comes he is ready to begin his days outies and when it begins to get dark he takes out" for the day.-Colum- bus, (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun.

THE AUSTRIAN MEMORANDUM.

Austrias memorandum in reply to the request of this country for defi- milton of the dual mOnarchy's attitude on the German policy of unrestricted warfare, leads one to conclude that that country is torn by conflicting desire 10 maintain peaceful relations with the United States and to play the sincere role of an ally to the Gen. tral powers.
 The far-fetched line of reasoning seized upon by the Austrian govern ment in defense of unrestricted sub marine warfare has found no echo at Washington, because the memOran- cum is at variance with the Presiden- tial interpretation of international law. The Austrian diplomats devoted about 5000 words to the task of de- inning their position. but in essence.
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-03-23

the whole reply was a defense of the plan to blockade England and denial of the principles for which this gov ernment has been contending; viz, the unrestricted right to deliver mu- nitions and supplies to British ports
 without having our vessels sunk by submarines.
 Austria argues that freedom of the seas is guaranteed to neutral vessels only so lcng as they do not carry con-
 traband and that the safety of neu- trals on belligerent vessels is not and has at no time been guaranteed, and that it is against the principles of modern warfare to expect a belliger- ent to allow an enemy shop to sail unmolested into an enemyk. port be- cause it is carrying neutrals as pro tection of contraband. This is what raised the point of debate in congress and resulted in the memorable filibus ter over the right to arm intuition carrying vessels.
 The memorandum almost strained the doctrine of consistency in defin- ing it's attitude toward the principle of international law that all ships, whether neutral or belligerent. must be warned by a man-of-war before they may be lawfully destroyed. Aus tria-Hungary leaffirmed that princi- ple and said that no merchantmen would be sunk without warning, but advanced the ingenious argument that it is not necessary for belligerent power to warn each merchant ship in but that, on the contrary, a general warning that ships would be sunk if entering certain zones was because it served to give all neutrals an opportunity to avoid the danger zone.
 The acceptance of such submis- sion would mean, in effect, that no neutral might enter a restricted zone such as that proclaimed by the Gen. tral empires and consequently for the United States to accept it would be to abandon the principles the defense of which has led to the breaking off of with Germany.
 The dual monarchy also states that all vessels armed for offense or de- fense under international law may be declared pirates and destroyed ther crews hung. This again runs counter to the position of this coun- try, the President declaring that he lad the right to establish new rules to meet new conditions-whichi is again what has caused the hitch between this country and Germany.
 However, the Austrian note is con in tone and it IS believed that Vienna desires no break with this country. The outcome of the exchanges probably will be that we will break nff diplomatic relations with Austria and send her ambassa- Tor 10 join on Bcrnstorff.

FORTY TONS OF
 HERRING DUMPED
Cold Storage Plant at Prince Rupert Refuses to Handle From Inde.
 pendent Fishermen.

Last night (March 10) outside of Prince Rupert harbor scow load of herring, perfectly good and fresh, were dumped back again into their natural element. Looks very queer doesn't it. Last week not a single herring was to be got and now they are being thrcwn away in forty-ton lots.
 Comment on this action overheard on the waterfront last night was very much more forcible than polite.
