WOMEN WORKING
IN MESS HOUSE
AT COAST TOWN

ANCHORAGE-For the first time
since the beginning of the construc-
ton of the government railroad,
women are employed now to wait on
table in the mess hall of the Alas
kan Engineering commission and the
lunch room of the Railroad Young
Mems Christian Association in An
chorage.
The military CONSUMPTION law and
the demand for laborers at wages
considerably higher than can be paid
for waiting on table gradually made
impossible the obtaining of expe-
rienced men walters in the mess
hall and lunch room. and, after
fruitless efforts to maintain the ser
vice with elderly men and boys,
recourse finally was had to the en-
ployment of women
When difficulty first was encount-
cred in getting experienced men
walters, the experiment was tried of
employing elderly men and breaking
them into the work. These, how
ever, on account of the scarcity of
labor in other lines, soon took ad-
vantage of the opportunities to earn
higher wages at other work. Then
an effort was made to supply the
need with boys, but the result prov
ed that any boy strong enough to
wait on table was quickly attracted
from the job by mans pay at some
other position, The experiment with
boys was short lived.
The employment of women seems
to be a permanent solution of the
problem.

PATRIOTIC WOMEN OF AMERICA

Saving food is military measure,
and there is not one really patriotic
citizen who would not be glad to
serve her country by observing the
requests of the Food Administration,
even in the form of a command, as
a soldier obeys.
Save the wheat, is the most i'm
portant command which the Govern
ment has issued. And unless the
soldiers of the Food Administration
carry out that command they are
going to weaken the American Of
fensive. They will fall down on
their part of the program, and de-
lay the glorious day of victory.
No one would deliberately do this,
but there are thousands of women
and men as well who are doing it
thoughtlessly. There comes a time
ever so often when the woman weak
ems in her program of two wheatless
days and wheatless meal every day.
1t is for one reason or another diff
cult for her to have a wheatless
breakfast; it means she must get out
of bed a half hour earlier; she has
neglected to order other flour the
day before, or any one of hundred
small reasons of a similar nature.
If we grant that saving food is a.
measure we should con-
slider ourselves under military orders,
and there should be no half way
means,

RAILROAD LANDS
FIRST CARGO OF
. GOLD AT COAST
First Treasure Shipment Reaches
Anchorage From Cache Creek
District.

Ten thousand dollars in virgin
gold was brought in lately from
Montana creek station to Anchor
age, says the Anchorae Times of
recent date. This treasure shipment
is the first ever made over the Gov
eminent railroad. The gold is the
product of the Cache Creek Dredg-
ing company, and probably repre-
sents the first cleanup, about June
18th.
Formerly gold from the Cache
Creek Dredging company had to be
dispatched by one of the employees
on a trip representing nine miles
by wagon road down Cache creek TO
its mouth on the Kahlitna, twenty
miles down the Kahlitna by boat
to camp two and was carried the
remaining thirty miles to McDougal,
from whence. it was brought by
launch to Anchorage.
The Government railroad on June
10, began the operation of weekly
train service between Anchorage
and Montana creek.

RANKS FILLED

The dental requirements of an
army of more than 100000 men
can now be met by the present force
of the Dental Corps of the American
army, according to statement re-
Gently issued by Surgeon General
Gorgas. Examinations for dental
officers have been closed and no
further additions will be made to
the corps for at least six months.
At the time the United States de-
clared a state of war to exist be-
tween this country and Germany, the
total number of dental officers was
So. The present force numbers
$50. A record was made in the
building up of this force. Com
missions were offered to 5,467 dent
lists in all parts of the country and
all but 271 were accepted, a per-
centage of 95.1.
In the rapid development of the
Dental Service all credit must be
given the patriotism of the members
of the dental profession, the various
preliminary dental examining boards,
dental faculties, dental manufac-
turers, and officers and members of
the Preparedness League of Ameri-
can Dentists, an organization which
a year ago had membership of
5000, but today has about $1,000
members, who have paid the mem
bership fee and declared their will
ingnescs to render gratuitous service
at least an hour a day when called
upon to assist in making dentally
fit the selected man after he has
been certified to by his local board
and previous to his induction into
military service.
The official record shows that
336,931 gratuitous dental operations
have been performed by members of
this organization. This organiza-
ton has been largely responsible for
the three dental ambulances that
have been presented to the surgeon
general of the army.
The same thorough care that is
given to the men in this country is
also given to the men in France
With each base, general, or evacua-
ton hospital there is attached
specialist in plastic surgery to cor
rect deformities to. face and jaws.
Dental surgeons who have been spe-
cially trained in this class of work
are also assigned to such hospitals.

BASEBALL GAME
IS WON BY THE
BENEDICT TEAM
Picked Teams Indulge in Exciting
Battle and the Benedicts Take
Home the Bacon.

To the accompaniment of dyed
in the wool roofing by the largest
crowd of the season last evening,
the Fairbanks ball team, or that
part of it listed in the ranks of the
benedicts, romped home on the long
end of a ten to two score. The
game, which finishes the Fairbanks
series here, spilled excitement all
the way through and represented the
pick of the married men of the
combined Fairbanks and Nenana
teams, battling against the unfor-
tunate bachelors of the same aggre-
cations. Unfortunate is right, for
the benedicts had it all over the
lowly leftovers from start to finish
On orders straight from home,
the future grand-daddies stepped
straight out in the first inning and
garnered the two runs that started
them off right After that they were
never headed. They picked up three
more in the second and a pair in
the third to put the game on ice
The best the single men could do up
to the sixth was to reach third,
but in that inning they sqeezed out
a lone tally that saved them from
a coat of whitewash.
Ike Taylor was on the mound for
the married men and pitched gilt
edged ball, with Myers receiving.
Hansen and Anderson worked for
the bachelors. Also there were sew
eral ladies in the stand working for
them throughout the game, but to
no avail. Altogether they scored
only two runs.
The fast field allowed good ball
to be played. Several times batters
were robbed of corking hits by one
handed stabs and running catches,
all of which helped to give the fans
a run for their money. Fowler
speared high liner with one hand
off Doner's bat that was headed
for the outfield when there were
three men on base. The bachelors
again hit into hard luck when Buck
ley, in center field, went away back
for a long one when a hit would
nave meant at least two runs. Blakey
for the married men, played a good
game at third, his whip working in
fine order for the long throw.
This game completes the Fair
banks series here, the men having left
for the upper town during the night.
Their visit has been an enjoyable
one to all lovers of the diamond
game in Nenana. The teams lined
up as follows: ....
SINGLE MEN-Anderson, c; Han
