 We, the white race, claim predOm- finance in our ability for profound learning and reasoning, which is no doubt true, therefore we challenge all other races to attain the same goal and make good our challenge by giving them the opportunity.
 We think it has never yet been proved that the quality of a man is determined by the color of his skin.
 Alaska Natives have a very keen instinct, in many cases quick witted and ready to repartee. A certain tall, lean-loOking man in the Alaska Ma tive school service, who had a sharp appetite and usually something to satisfy it, once sharply reprimanded a chimpanzee-faced, hunch-backed Copper River Indian for not feeding his lank, lean looking dogs, whose ribs stood out in rows along their sides like so many wooden hoops on a barrel. The black eyes flashed over q five-inch smile as he retorted You hiyu eat an you halo fat" The reasoning seemed sound to the lanky pale faced instructor and the subject ~ASs dropped.

An automatic clock-work torpedo for chasing and destroying U-boats has been invented by Rev. Thomas J. GIynn of Beaver Falls, Pa. The flying fish torpedo will loop the. loop and dip the dip under sea. The WInos and fins are used as diving rudders and are controlled by clock work. The side wings or rudders give buoyaney and support to the torpedo. These rise and flap like the wings of a bird or the flying fish, and make the torpedo rise or dive by a transom lever working automatically within the torpedo. The torpedo Is propelled by gasoline mo- tor and will run for hours.

Men, Women and Children
Join in Demonstrations
Throughout Country
Many Shops Closed
Thousands Besiege London
Butcher Shops, but Many
Leave Empty Handed

LONDON. Jan. Recommendations
to demand better distribution Of food
were held at Brighton, at Firth, in
Kent, and at other places in England
to-day, while men, women and children
stood in lines, in many cases in vain,
for a Sunday roast, margarine, butter
or tea.
At Firth 5000 workers from one OF
the big war factories formed process
sion and marched to the local food
committees Offices to protest against
their wives and children having to
wait long hours outside the shops Of
grocers and butchers and then go away
empty handed. The men say that
owing to the scarcity of food they are
unable to work. and the percentage OF
illness has been high.
Meanwhile the butchers shops were
closed and the grocery stores were
virtually sold out this morning, and
men were waiting in the streets for
the food committee to take some
action.
Food demonstrations in London and
in many other parts of the country
were bigger and more numerous than
ever to-day. Everywhere in London
crowds gathered at the butcher shops
at an early hour, there being at least
a thousand persons at o'clock wait
ing to be served in the retail section
of the Smithtield Market Most of
these got limited portions and were
luckier than persons in the suburbs,
manv of whom were unable to get any
meat, the retailers having received
only fraction of their supply. This
was due not so much to the shortage
of cattle and sheep as to the weather.
which made it impossible in many dis
tricts to bring livestock to the mar
ket, and to the faulty distribution Of
the meat available.
The supplies of margarine arc in
creasing, but here again distribution
is complained of, some sections being

measured at calmer moment in the
West Thrtieth Street police station
and found to be eight inches long.
Neither kron nor Bustwick had a yard
stick handy at the time and the esti-
mates they formed were erroneous.
You better put that up" advised
Bustwick.
Toomey obeyed and picked up a
chair. with which he pursued Bustwick,
succeeding at last in striking him a
gancing blow on the head. Kron was
occupied at the time at window.
whence he blew repeated blasts on a
police whistle.
Just as Bustwick staggered back

tective John Goudart, who had seen the
coat and hat hanging from the cleo
trolicr in the hall and had deduced that
office. He Joined Kron at the window,

hip pocket and was advancing upon the
two whstling private detectives Nc
earthly foored him with his fist. A
charge of felonious assault was lodged
against him at the West Thirtieth
