That the congested conditions of the city schools demand new building in school district number and that it is De1ng seriously considered is evident from the announcement made by John D. Loper, city superintendent of school. that he would be glad to receive any offer for property located north of Roosevelt street and west of Central avenue.
 The school officials will consider sites at meeting called for Tuesday and in the meantime it is expected that many offers will be submitted to Superintendent Loper who will lay the various propositions before the board at the meeting.
 MT. Loper stated yesterday that the purchase of property did not necessar- | fly mean that new school would be erected at once, although there is a | recognized need for more buildings.

The Transfer of the Buck

General Crozier, chief of ordnance not long ago provoked criticism by careless reply to an inquiry why troops not being more quickly supplied with guns, especially machine guns In ef- feet, General Crozier said there was plenty of time Even aymen knew better than that. They knew there not plenty time for anything connection with preparation. So much time had been wasted before the begun that there could not be plenty left.
 This easy attitude of General Crozier probably did to suspicion of our lack of energetic war preparation than any other incident The general finding that he had stirred hornets nest began to indulge in the now fashionable pastme of passing the buck" He thereupon slipped it to congress which not being in session. could not immediately help itself But congress has frequently been role of the goat that it and sore.

CASE
 |S HEARD HERE

The question of whether divorced man can be made to support his chil- dren who has been given into the cus- tody of their mother, when the de- cree made no such provision is the matter to be determined by Justice Frank De Souza.
 Yesterday John Corder was given his preliminary examination on the charge of failure to provide for his minor children. Corder and his wife were di- vorced in Graham county three months ago. At that time no provision was made for the support of the young sters and Mrs Corder it is claimed, asked for none. Later she demanded that Corder pay for the common neces- saries of life and had him brought back from Stafford on criminal com- plaint. Justice De Souza, who has the case under advisement, will announce his decision at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon.

PRICES
 OVER THE BAR
 ARE ADVANCED
Everything Goes on Two Bit Limit With Beer
 and U. s. Whistles the Exception

Last night, as predicted in the dealers of Juneau it was decided to raise the price of drinks over the bar to 25 cents straight, with the exception of beer and straight Amer ican whiskeys. Both the latter drinks remain at the old price of 121a cents per drink or in some establishments 10 cents for beer
 All Scotch whiskeys, imported li- quors, imported brandies, and all mixed drinks of any kind will be raised The price of bottled goods, by the quart and case was also de finitely agreed upon, although the raise in this class of goods has been in effect for number of weeks.
 It was freely predicted this morn ing that within sixty days there would not be a drink of Scotch whiskey in Juneau, and it was also stated that many of the saloons might be closed by that time, on account of disposal of their stock
 None of the saloon men are plac- ing orders for more stock and as soon as that on hand is disposed of they will close. It was also stated that by the first of the year there will not be a first-class saloon oper- ating in Juneau.
 The saloon men are making active preparations to close out their stocks as rapidly as possible and all of them will endeavor to dispose of their bottled fancy stock to their regular customers and people who are well known to them and who desire it for private use.

Marguerite Clark Goes Contrary to
 The Old Adage

appearing exclusively in Paramount Pictures, subscribes to the fact that screen stars health is her greatest as- set. It is only by keeping in the pink of condition that she can stand the terrific strain of working day after day in the Famous Players studio.
 Marguerite Clark plays child parts upon the screen that present her at the age of twelve, and she carries them off as convincingly as if she were not a day older than the character which she is portraying. How does she do it? By keeping herself in such perfect physical condition that she has all the freshness and spontaneity of the child of that age.
 So continuously does Miss Clark work that it requires two directors to keep pace with her in the big studio. While one director is preparing script for her she is acting the stellar role in another production. As she takes the last scenes in her picture the director fin charge takes it to the labo- ratOry and begins cutting and assem- bling the production, while Miss Clark starts work under the second director. How does she stand this continuous strain?
 There is only one answer: By so reg ulating her day that she gets a cer- tain amount of exercise and a given number of hours of sleep every twenty four hours. Miss Clark has always been a very abstemious eater, her dai- ly consumption of food being less than half that of the average person. She seldom eats meat and will frequently make a meal of salad and toast.
 Miss Clark takes at least eight hours sleep every night and never fails to in- dulge in sorie form of exercise before

Is More Concerned Over Her Health
 Than Her Face

There is nothing which Miss Clark enjoys more thoroughly than a few rounds with the gloves-heavily pad ded, of course. She frequently invites one of her friends into the gymnasium, where they put on the gloves and go at each other as though they were mor- tai enemies. Miss Clark is particular ly enthusiastic over her impromptu sparring matches because she believes more completely than any other form of exercise. In 'The AmazOns" she displays many of her inimitable ath- letic qualifications.
 The first thing that Miss Clark does upon waking in the morning is to go to her window and take ten long breaths of fresh air, no matter how low the temperature may be: then a cup of coffee and a little toast before Miss Clark goes into her gymnasium for her half hour of brisk exercise. Nearly every morning this period fin the gym nasium is followed by hard gallop in Central park or over the country roads bordering Long Island sound, &C., cording to whether Miss Clark is in her home in New York city or in her country place in New Rochelle.
 No wonder, then, that the diminutive Miss Clark requires the services of two directors to keep pace with her activi- ties before the camera and that she can play such youthful characters as Snow White, Molly Makebelieye and tie Valentine Girl. the other leading roles in the productions in which she 'harn,iBg and convincing despite the :sct iEGt they are ten and twelve years t@ Ese respectively.
