WILD VISITOR
 HAS GOOD TIME

From all reports the lynx which invaded the precincts of Fairbanks the other night is having a good time, and seems to enjoy the game of hide and seek it is playing with the residents. Shortly after being chased by Fred Douse he again ap- peared. on the upper end of Eighth avenue, and put in some time there leading the residents in a cross country chase through gardens and vacant lots.
 The exercise evidently made him hungry, for after prowling around the neighborhood for a time he en. tered the yard of Bud Courtemanche and. after sizing up Buds flock of chickens, deliberately chose the larg. est one and made of with it. Bud joined the Home Guard patrol last night and stayed up waiting for the nocturnal visitor to repeat, the re. suits of which are not known so far

BERGER DRAWS
 WEAR AND $500

In the commissioners court room yesterday afternoon Dan Berger ap- peared to plead to the charge of theft and the illegal possession of liquor. To both charges he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to serve one year in the federal jail for the theft and to pay fine of $500 for the possession of the liquor.
 In default of payment of the fine he will serve it out at the rate of s2 per day. At the conclusion of this sentence he will commence to serve the year imposed for theft The accused seemed much confused when making his statements rela- tive to the charges, and felt the theft charge very keenly. being al- most in tears when attempting to explain how and why he became pos sessed of the yarn. The liquor he claims to have purchased before the enactment of the dry law.

ACE MUST HAVE
 PERFECT VISION

LONDON, April 15 (by maiD.- Perfect vision is the first essential of the perfect airman," says Comman- der Graeme Anderson, chief surgeon of the naval medical examining board for airplane pilots.
 Although only men who are al. most perfect from the physical point of view should fly" he adds. Even those thus accepted must be graded medically for flying at different heights and for different duties.
 Thus men who suffer from chil. plains should be passed only for low flying, because chilblains are an un- failing indication that they are not medically fitted to rise to great alti. tudes.
 All airmen should be total ab. stainers. The action of very little alcohol in the system is intensified greatly by flying, and while I have known some amazing air perform. ances done under its influence, 1t al ways beats them in the end"
 Dr. Anderson declares that the perfect age for flying man is 24.

ITS EASY-TRY
 FOR YOURSELF

LONDON, April Is (by mai).- Looping the loop is quite easy" ex plained an officer in the Royal Fly ing Corps in lecture here recently "In fact you can't help doing it cor rectly."
 The audience looked rather dubi ous. but the officer went on to ex plain:
 You simply press a lever which tits the planes to their fullest ex tent, and the machine climbs at its steepest angle. At such an angle however. the force of gravity is toe great for the strength of the engine and the machine slides tail first to ward the ground. In a few seconds it is vertical, and then it immediate ly falls over on its back, from which position it quickly rights itself"

IS ASTONISHED
 AT AMERICANS

LONDON, April Is (by maiD.- First Lieutenant Gilbert Elemental, son of the French minister of com. merce and transportation, who has been attached to a division of the American army now in the trenches, paid a tribute of admiration to the American troops in letter written to Paul D. Cravath of New York, and recently received here. Writing of the conduct of American troops in action he declared:
 "As nearby spectator I can say that am absolutely astonished These Americans are wonderful sol. diers, with their determination, their dash. and their vigor, it will not take long for them to become a most ac complished army. Truly these ale brave men. At one moment in the action I wanted to embrace them so great was my admiration"

HAS SOFT SPOT
 FOR AMERICANS

TORONTO, Ontario, April IS (by maiD.-"I cannot begin to tell you how great is the sense of comrade- ship toward America" writes the Rev. John MacNeill of this city, from the headquarters of the Cana dian Young Mems Christian Associa- tion in France. Only those who are out here can begin to measure the tremendous uplifting of heart that their coming has brought. President Wilson has stepped into the fore front and. if he holds his course un- doubtedly will stand beside Lincoln and Washington in his country's af- lection. No one has stated our cause in more lucid terms. There is some thing awe inspiring to me in the spec tacle of that great people. so adverse to war by instinct and tradition, stripping themselves for this conflict with such complete conservation and courage"

WAS VERYD DEAF
 UNTIL BEAUTY
 ACCOSTED HIM

DETROIT, Mich, April 20 (by maiD.-Although a majority of slack CTS in Michigan have sought to evade military service by submitting sad stories of physical ailments or help less dependents, more than few classical excuses have been heard by local boards and medical examiners
 "I have pricked good many hot air balloons since the draft law be came effective" said one investiga tor, "and I expect to puncture a good many more. Usually the draft evader who thinks he is clever is pitiably clumsy and often falls into the most simple sort of a trap" The following little system caught more than one would-be evader:
 A youth alleging defective hearing was taken into an examining room.
 My hearing is pretty bad" he told the medical officer.
 That so? let's see," said the doc. tor as he stepped close to the young man.
 Put your hand over your right ear." said the doctor. loudly.
 The youth did so.
 Can you hear this?" asked the physician, in low tone.
 No response.
 Gan you hear me now?" This was spoken in an ordinary voice.
 No response.
 Now put your hand over youl left ear." said the doctor in a very faint voice.
 The order was promptly obeyed the candidate saw the light" and meekly submitted to the rest of the examination.
 A sweet young woman employed in one of the Detroit draft board offices, caught several slackers who were clever enough to foil the medical ex. aminers. One instance, which was reported by a member of the local board, concerned a young man who insisted he was deaf and who evaded the tests and tricks of the examiners. AS he left the medical room the smile which the demure miss flashed at him caused him to forget war and home and country.
 Were you accepted?' the young woman asked in very low tone.
 Nav. they turned me down and gee, wanted to-"
 Don't worry, my friend, we made a little mistake and you're accepted said a drawling voice bshind the stacker.
 The youth whirled and faced the medical officer. He blushed and stam mered but finally began to grin.
 That's number six for me-" said the girl in the case.

CLAM DIGGER IS
 SKILLED ARTISAN

Digging clans is appraised by a Cordova gent engaged in that gainful art as skilled labor employed in a necessary industrial enterprise" This is the gents second season at that difficult profession and his reason stated in writing for claiming defer red classification in the military con scripton that "clam diggers are scarce"
 The Cordova board in their ignor- ance refused to recognize the clam diggers industrial value to the mili- tary establishment and placed him in the first class of prospective trench diggers. The district board on ap- peal upheld the local board. AS the cannery interested has only 80 clam miners it may soon have to scuttle along with only 79. [
 Several shipbuilding artisans as serted their weighty value to the ship ping industry but as the regulations require that their demand for defer red classification be accompanied by request from the shipping board and as none of them had 1t they were all turned down. Answering the rigid cross-examination contained in the questionnaire one of them stated that he was a laborer. that he did not know the name of the plant he was working in, that he had been there three weeks, and had never worked in shipbuilding plant before. There was a blacksmith's helper with brief service; another claimed to be skill ed artisan because he could wheel a barrow over a 12'inch plank.
 Several homesteaders in the Mat anuska valley asked to be classed as engaged in important agricultural work. and several small ranchers elsewhere with a COW or two asked deferred classification because of their great value in agricultural and food production.
 Various claimants appeared in the record who have dependents" not living with them to whom they send small sums. One party was passed by a local board. because he sent $9 a month last year to small daugh- ter in Sweden. The district board promoted him to Class "A" because they instantly remembered that if he goes to war he will have to allot SIS a month of his pay to the kid and the government will give her ' 35 more.

SEA CULLS AID
 ALLIES SEARCH OUT SUBMARINES

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.--In rt- gard to the many reports from abroad concerning the part the common, or dinary sea gull is represented as talk ing in the capture of the U.boats, fol lowing the underwater craft in quest of food and pointing thein out" to our destroyers, listen to this yarn"
 Says Frank II. Stewart, president of the Ocean City, N. J., Fishing club, one of the largest on the Atlantic coast:
 Every gull on our coast is an avi- ator in our defense, and worth al most as much as soldier or sailor for our protection. You see, the gulls live chiefly on the fragments of fish left by the hungry tigers of the sea feeding on schooled fishes.
 Every boy on the sea shore knows that a diving, screeching flock of gulls indicates school of fish.
 Like an aviator. they can see be- low the surface, but they cannot req son that all things under the surface are not fish. They expect something to appear on the surface of the water following commotion underneath. That something is food.
 When gulls detect submarine they follow it like school of fish, and if this nation ever is attacked by the U.boats we shall be sorry that we haven't ten gulls for every onc we have now"

Timely Hints for the Housewife

There is no more wholesome fruit than the luscious dried prunes which are always in market. It Is an advantage to buy the large sized prunes, as the smaller ones have as large pits with less meat.
 PRUNE CAKE
 Take a half cupful of shortening. add one cupful of molasses, cup tul of sour milk. one egg and cup. full of brown sugar. Mix teaspoon full of soda in the sour milk, add a little salt and spices to taste. with four cupfuls of flour and three and half cupfuls of chopped prunes. Bake in slow oven.
 Stewed prunes. pitted and cut fine, filled into a baked shell and covered with sweetened whipped cream. make a most delicious dessert.
 STUFFED PRUNEs
 Select large, perfect prunes. Steam them until tender but not too soft Remove the pits carefully and stuff the prunes with finely chopped hick. ory nuts and raisins well mixed. Other filings may be used. but this seems to be especially good. Roll in granulated sugar just before sending to the table.
 Prune juice is especially good for small children, alternating it with orange juice. These juices supply the needed mineral ingredients neces- sary to the blood.
 PRUNE BROWN BREAD
 Take a cupful of corn meal. two cupfuls of graham flour. one-half cup molasses. one cup sour milk. one teaspoon soda. one teaspoon salt ond one cupful of finely chopped pitted prune3 which have not been stewed >Scald the corn meal and add the other ingredients. Put into greased tins and steam three hours. SIMPLE PRUNE WHIP
 Press a cupful of we'll cooked prunes through colander, add one half cupful of sugar and the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Mix lightly and heap in sherbet cups. This is especially good for children or invalids. and also makes fine cake filling.

CRAEHL FERRY
 IN OPERATION

Owing to the going out of the bridge over the slough on the road leading to Fox and other creek towns, those who have occasion to make trips between the creek points and Fairbanks were for a short time greatly inconvenienced and had to undergo many difficulties in nego tiating a passage over the slough in order to make the trip.
 This has been overcome to a great extent by the putting in commission of the Graehl ferry, which operates at the upper end of Wendell avenue By means of the ferry the travel be- tween here and the creeks will be resumed until such time as the railroad is again in commission.
