Office On Plans For Fourth.
Drive.

:. WASHINGTON, D. c., May 8
Although employees of the treasury
department are still hard at work
winding up the details of the Third
Liberty Loan, other clerks in the
same department have been set to
work on the Fourth Loan, which
will be launched during the fall.
The publicity bureau of the depart
ment has issued call to artists and
designers asking them to submit de-
signs by the first of June.
This action is taken. early because
of the time required to get the
literature and advertising posters
ready for distribution.

WOMEN AS BANKERS

Even before the war began to
take men away, the great banking
institutions of the country had be-
gun to realize the peculiar fitness
of women for a business requiring
so much accuracy and fidelity as do
banks. A recent canvas of the banks
doing the business of New York city
by a committee of women indicates
that the opportunity for women will
be steadily larger.
'In the National City Bank" says
the report, 1925 women are already
employed; in the Guaranty Trust
company, 200; the Chase National
Bank, Sc; Farmers Trust company,
100; National Park Bank, Is; Equit-
able Trust company, 100; Corn Ex-
change Bank, 70 in one department;
Brown Brothers, 60.
"The percentage of women to men
employed runs as high as one to
three or four. In only two of the
banks visited were the Investigators
told that women would not be en-
ployed under any circumstances"

EIGHTEEN MONTHS
FOR VIM. H. SMITH
Judge Bunnell Pronounces Sentence
And Fixes Bonds At Four
Thousand.

Telegraphic advices received from
Fairbanks this afternoon state that
Vim. H. Smith, recently found guilty
on the charge of embezzlement, has
been sentenced to term of eighteen
months, by Judge Bunnell. The at
torneys for Smith asked the court
to fix bail at four thousand dollars
and the request was granted. Smith
will endeavor to raise this amount
to secure his release pending the
hearing of his case on appeal.
Lingren, the Vault creek miner,
who was convicted on an embezzle-
ment charge, was given three years
at McNeils Island.

LADIES WORKING
FOR YARN FUNDS
Ten Red Cross Workers Canvassing
Town For Guesses On Nearby
Breakup.

The ladies of the Red Cross, who
are canvassing the town with ice
pool lists, for the benefit of the
yarn fund, report that much interest
is being taken by the public and
that many half dollars have been
paid into the pool, which is to be
divided equally between the winner
and the Red Cross yarn fund.
Ten of the ladies are circulating
the lists, which are to be closed at
midnight tonight. They are Misses
McRae, Betty Foster, Thora Slip
perm, Queenie Russell, Mesdames
Bowen, Baatz, Schaeffer, Lawrence,
Cooney and Hamburger. Any of
these ladies will be pleased to enter
the guesses Of those who desire to
help. the yarn fund .-*:

WATER IN RIVER
SHOWS SIGNS OF
COMING BREAKUP
Water Is Rising At Rate of Half
An Inch An Hour In Front
of Nenana.

The Tanana river is rising at the
rate of half an inch an hour, at
which rate, it is estimated by river
men, a movement of the ice may
be expected any time after Satur-
day noon. Jack Bellerby, who has
charge of the unloading of Ameri-
can Yukon transportation boats at
Nenana and who is watching the
river closely, says that the ice can
not possibly move until there is an
other foot of water in the river,
and there are those who believe that
more of a rise than that will be
necessary to clear the river in front
of town.
Reports received from Fairbanks
state that the water in Cinema slough
is now rising at the rate of an inch
an hour, and they are looking for
the breakup there as early as to-
morrow, although, of course, there
are many in the upper town who
are confident that there will be no
ice movement for several days,
Many of those whoh ave taken
chances in the Red Cross ice pool,
the lists for which are now being
circulated in Nenana, have picked
Monday as the day on which the ice
will move, the 18th appearing to be
popular date among the guessers.
The pool will close at midnight to-
night, and indications are that a
very substantial sum will be realized
for the yarn fund. Half of the
guess money goes to the winner of
the pool and the balance will be
used by the ladies for the purchase
of yarn.

BROWNE DELAYS
TRIP TO NENANA
AWAITING BOAT
Division Engineer Advised By the
Doctors to Await Opening of
Navigation

Division Engineer F. B. Browne,
who reached Fairbanks from the
coast several days ago and who was
scheduled to make the trip over
land to Nenana with Roy Lund
changed his plans at the last
moment and will remain at the
upper town until the opening of
navigation. He is reported to have
contracted a severe cold, on the way
in and was advised by Fairbanks
doctors not to risk further exposure
on the trail.
Lund made the trip over the Gold
stream trail, arriving here yester-
day afternoon with Acting Engineer
R. B. Ward.
The trail is reported to be in
very bad condition, long stretches
being covered by water. Travel is
almost impossible, except for out
fits travelling light.
Lund is not certain whether or
not he will attempt the return trip,
but may decide to start for the
upper town tonight.

HOW TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

"They tell me that the prohibitory
law is not enforced" says William Jen-
nings Bryan. my answer is, elect men
who will enforce it! Don't you know
that the first thing that the liquor in
terests do is to name men who will not
enforce the law? The man who accepts
the nomination from the men interest
ed in liquor must take an oath In adj
vance that he will violate the oath that
the Constitution requires him to take.
That Is the condition upon which they
give their support!
but have another answer. IL you
tell me that we will have blind tigers
If we don't have saloons, / answer
that If tiger were after my boy, the
binder the tiger, the safer my boy
would be! If the tiger is blind, my boy
must hunt him up If the tiger can see,
he can hunt my boy up. If we close
the saloons and they still sell liquor,
they do it in the byways and in the al
leys, and those who sell are criminals |;
and those who deal with them do it
with shame upon the face.
IF we close the saloons and then
elect men who will enforce the law we
are not to blame if, in spite of all we
can do there may be some selling with
out license. We are no more respon-
sible after we have done all we can
than we are for the work of burglar
who enters house In spite of the fact
that we have a law against burglary"

HAD ENOUGH OF DAMAGES
Just at That Moment They Were the
Last Thing That Mike Was
Thinking About.

Reference at social session was
made to the subject of damage SUITS
when this anecdote was appropriately
related by Congressman William c..
Houston of Tennessee.
One afternoon Mike was caught in
railway wreck, which, fortunately,
wasn't very serious one, and when
his friends found him he was sitting
beside the track holding his head in
one hand leg in the other, said mem
bers, of course, not being detached.
'How are you feeling, Mixer" asked
one Of the party, STOPPING to help the
bruised man. "Are you badly hurtT'
"That OF am" answered Mike. "Oi

"Never mind, old fellow" sympa-
thetically returned the other. ut ID

HOW THE SALOON PAYS ITS L.
CENSE MONEY.

Some one may claim that the sa-
loon helps to pay his taxes. This is
a great error. Can you squeeze water
out of sponge? If you think you can.
60 down to the drug store and buy
one. I will squeeze 1t. How much
water do l get?
The only way you can get water out
Of a sponge is to bring the water in a
basin, drop In the sponge and let 1t
absorb it. Then you can squeeze some
of the water back.
If you want to get money out Of q
saloon, the only way is to put the
saloon down in the community and for
every $4,000 1t takes from the pock-
cts of the people you can squeeze one
thousand of it back in the form Of city
license. The saloon must pick the
pockets of the poor--to pour thin
golden stream Of revenue.-Exchange.

THE PROHIBITION SITUATION AT
. THE BEGINNING OF 1918.

A survey of the wet and dry situa-
ton throughout the country, taken by
the board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
church, shows that on January there
were 2,374 dry counties and 615 wet
counties. This is a dry gain for the
year 1917 of SS counties.
The year 1917 gave the drys state
wide victory in New Hampshire, Utah
and Indiana by legislative action and
In New Mexico by vote of the people.
Iowa failed by very small majority
to make its prohibition constitutional.
Ohio reduced its wet majority almost
to the vanishing point. New Jersey
elected local option legislature and
Kentucky elected one pledged to sub
mission of state prohibition and ratifi-
cation of the national amendment.
New York added 105 towns to Its dry
list and Illinois closed saloons in the
state capital.
The United States Supreme court
upheld the Webb-Kenyon anti-shipping
law and sustained the rigid Idaho bone
dry law.
Congress voted the District of Col
umbia dry, passed the Reed bone-dry
law, shutting liquors out Of all prohi.
billion states; enacted law prohibit
ing the sending Of advertising of IL
quors through the mails into states
where It is forbidden; enacted prohibi'
ton for Alaska in response to the ac-
ton Of the people at the polls; made
Porto Rico prohibition territory; for
bade the sale of liquor to soldiers and
sailors; prohibited the manufacture
and importation of distilled liquors
during the war; gave the president
power to stop brewing to save grain;
and submitted an amendment to the
Constitution for national prohibition.

Reads Better In Spring Than
In Winter.

When It's nice and cold and snappy ;
when the world Is bright and happy ;
when you're drinking in the ozone
with pair Of grateful lungs; when
the wintry winds go tipping and the
rusted leaves are skipping, could the
simple Joy Of living be the theme Of
sluggard tongues?
Oh! the song that's in the breezes
How it flirts with us and leases How
1t drags us from the workaday to wan
der In the woodl How 1t comes TO us
and breaches, and takes hold Of us
and teaches, just in living, laughing,
loving, to be satisfied and good!
Blow, We tempests from the regions
of the Ice King and his legion Open
up the smothered chambers of the
billiards sluggish hearth Blow new
life into our being, blow new visions
to our seeing, for there's love and life
and laughter when the winds of winter
start Richmond Times-Dispatch.
