FEDERAL BOARD ON SHIPPING TO MEET TOMORROW Will Convene a Session at Once in District Court
 Room When Boat
 Arrives. EXPECTED ABOUT NOON Everyone Will Be Given a Chance to Be Heard on Rates and Foreign
 Shipping.
EXPECTED ABOUT NOON

Members of the Federal Shipping Board will convene a session in the District Court tomorrow soon after the Alameda arrives, at which all parties interested in Alaska rates, improvement of service and introduc- tion of foreign bottoms to the Alaska service will be heard.
 Owing to the fact that meetings are to be held in other towns in the Westward, and the members of the Federal Shipping Board will pro ceed on the Alameda, no time is to be lost in getting down to business in Juneau.
 o. B. Kent, Attorney Examiner for the Board, who has charge of the fixing of rates, will preside at the meetings. The Juneau Commercial Association and the Alaska Labor Union each has appointed a commit tee to appear before the Board, and most likely there will be others who will want to be heard.
 Whatever evidence is heard by the Board at the present HleetlnBS Will be final for some time to come, since National affairs of moment in con nection with the war are taking up the full time of the members, and a considerable sacrifice was made to give Alaskans a chance to be heard, in order to arrive at the truth of the many contentious that have been made concerning Alaska steamers and Alaska rates, and therefore it is up to the people to present their evidence, for another opportunity will not be presented at least during the progress of the war.
 There is absolutely nothing of a political nature in these hearings. In fact through them the transportation problems will be removed from poli- tics, from the theatre of street cor ner discussion and political rostrums, because they offer opportunity to bring the shipping questions to a de cision that will be conclusive.

BY MRS, WILSON WOODROW,
The world famous writer on vital subjects.

| have a letter from a m who
writes me that she is the mother Of
several beautiful and healthy little
children. But to her great sorrow the
first one, the loveliest OF all In body,
is mentally deficient. In spite of the
fact that it drew heavily upon a none
too abundant family purse, this mother
has had the little girl examined by a
number of physicians, n they nave
all given the same verdict--that the
child, even If she lives to extreme old
age, will have the undeveloped brain
OF IA child Of 10.
Another letter which reached me IN
the same mail Is from IL young man VINO
is losing his eyesight. He Is In a state
Of mental agony. lie sees every hope
he had Of the future uiasted, and lie
has become an unbearable burden.
A third letter is from IA girl who
stands very much alone IN the world
and who has earned her W living
since childhood. She has been III, II
has had a stroke Of paralysis affecting

mi ies her position a terribly difficult
one, and she, too, Is In despair.
