MALAMUTE EATS AN "ELECTRIC
 LIGHT SYSTEM
Here Is a New One Attri- buted to the Famous Wolf Hound of the
 NOrthIand.

The Empire has heard about mala- mute dogs opening tin cans and eat ing the contents, about them climb ing trees and ladders to get at caches, about them tackling human beings and doing a good many other strange stunts, but the Anchorage Times must be given the credit of telling about malamute trying to eat part of an electric light sys- tenn" The article follows:
 malamute dog attached and car ried off part of a Delco lighting sys- tenn at Seward the other day, ac- cording to Gus Gillis, a well known travelling man from Juneau, who ar rived in Anchorage yesterday
 In Seward, Gillis purchased a dog team intending to make use of it on his trip to Anchorage. While waiting to leave Seward two of his friends Borrowed the team for the purpose of going along the trail to take photographs. They obtained the views, returned to Seward and hitch ed the dogs, in the rear of the Over land Hotel to an auxiliary Delco lighting system. which was covered by small shed.
 The leader of the dog team be- came restless. He noted a number a small batteries connected with the lighting system and proceeded forth with to devour them. Three were partially eaten and about seven de- stroyed when Gillis arrived on the scene. He was just in time to pre- vent the dogs from eating some of the vital parts of the machinery to which they were hitched.
 Then came the angered proprietor of the hotel and demanded $200 for the damage. Gillis paid the money and is now busily hunting for the two friends who borrowed the team
 Fearing the leader had acquired an appetite for Delco batteries Gillis sold the team at Camp S7.

enrolment by nearly 1000 per cent in
a year is the task confronting the
corps.
Daily numbers Of nurses are being
called for TO meet immediate needs
in army hospitals in the United States
and for duty overseas. The pres
ent rate of enrolment does not meet
the demands. Hospitals at National
Guard ana National army camps still

all up to the minimum considered
necessary-65 each.
In order to get the enrollmentS up
to the needed number some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed are be-
Ing waived. According TO estimates Of
the nursing committee of the general
medical board of the council of nation
al defense, there are between 10000
and 10000 registered nurses in the
country and about 100000 other gradu
ate and practical nurses.

cantonment hospitals have been cared

ganized for emergency service in the
