AMERICAN IS BEST BRAND
 OF "SM0KES''
Another Soldier Tells of Receiving a Package from the "Our Boys in France" Fund.
 Erancp June ' 1918
France, June 2, 1918.

"Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund,
 New York City, N. Y.
 Gentlemen:
 Several days ago l was the re cipient of package of smokes which had been sent over here by the fund gotten up by you. I acknowledged receipt of the package to the donor and just want to say thank you" for the part you played in forward ing 1t. Smoking material is very scarce here and when we are unable to get U. s. brands, we have to fall back on the French tobacco, and as you no doubt know, that is mighty poor smoking. The Red Cross has been making distributions of tobacco sent over and it is an interesting sight to see the boys when it is an nounced You would think that some one had willed them fortune. The intrinsic value of these packages is small, but when fellow cannot get anything to smoke, one of these little striped boxes looks as big as the Flatiron building. It also re minds us that the folks home are thinking of Us and helping to make the hardships a little easier.
 "The Red Cross is certainly doing wonderful work for the boys and are seeing that we keep warm and have a place to loaf and lots to pa, pers and magazines to read. The American ladies in charge deserve a great deal of credit for their Toy. atty and it is to be hoped that they will be given the proper amount of encouragement to enable them to continue the good work. My time being limited will have to quit. want to thank you again and hope that your fund will be the means of making lots of boys in France hap. py.

instructor had shouted to him above the roaring of the engine, Shall we loop" and they did. But hither- to, of course, the instructor has been the real pilot, explaining maneuvers, encouraging the young man to se- cure an accurate touch, and to be- come, as he must if he is to be successful, so perfect a master of the machine that he can make it fly of itself
 The fact that it is his first flight is known at the aerodome and many eyes are watching to see him take off"
 With a tremendous sputtering the engine starts. The instructor, stand. ing on the step of the fuselage, holds to his cap against the hurri- cane raised by the propellors, and shouts his final directions. He points to the instruments, shows what the engine revolutions should be, feels the controls, and hides the new "soloist" good cheer,
 What the fledgling flyers feelings are only those who have flown alone know. He Is dropping the pilot and embarking on a great adventure.
 On first flight alone the pupils performance is carefully watched for any faults. Usually he is given a definite piece of maneuvering to carry out. A pupil is never sent into the air merely to fly about for fixed time.
 Afterwards he will have more "dual" with his instructor and much of the old teachings will be repeat ed and emphasized. At this point perhaps the real understanding be. tween instructor and pupil becomes manifest Understanding and sym. pathy are important factors in aer. ial instruction.

George has rip-roaring play in which the action centers around a troup of revolutionists to which George becomes attached under the impression that it is in South Amer. ica to make motion pictures. George takes an active part in the revolu- tion still believing motion picture is being made. He wakes up in jail with the sentence "to be shot at daybreak," hanging over his head.
 He escapes. And then he goes to the rescue of the young lady who he thought was the star of the show but who is the daughter of an American consul in South America After George rescues her she likes him and--well they live happily ever after.

Coliseum ln Good Ptdy.
 "The Market of Vain Desire, which will be shown at the Coli scum tonight is the story of young minister, called to great metropoli- tan church from little country par sonage, who is struck by the artific ialties of life in a great city. He is persuaded that all is hypocrisy save one girl in the congregation, the rich and beautiful Helen Badg- ley; and secretly loves her. There fore it comes as a shock when her parents approach him one day to have him announce Helen's engage ment to the Count d'Graffe. Sure that she is not what he had hoped, he breaches a sermon the Sunday of the announcement in which he draws a parallel between the case of the girl who sells herself for gain and the girl who disposes of her beauty in the market of vain desire. The scandal that follows breaks up the match between Helen and the Count; and also drives the young minister from his pulpit. He takes up the study of medicine. while Hell en goes into settlement work. And working together down in the slums, they come to their great understand ing.

AN AMERICAN .AEiDDOME IN ENGLAND, July 23IhisAsis one of the numerous aviation camps in Eng land where Americans are receiving their finishings touches as flyers. When they leave here for the battle front in France, they know all that can be taught about flying. Only the school of experience can supply the postgraduate course that makes Guynemers and Lufburys.
 The aerodome is set in one Of those beautiful spots that one calls to mind from classic pictures of English landscapes. It is early in June and the great level field that stretches away in front of the han gars is like a rich green carpet. Be- yond there is woodland, and in the distance is a range of low hills whose smooth contour recalls to Western Americans the foothills of California.
 It is a peaceful place and very quiet except for the droning of air planes. At least dozen are Tn the air and others are preparing for flight. Into one of these a young Kentuckian has just climbed. For the first time he is going up alone.
 For weeks the British instructor has been with him constantly and he has passed successfully the ma. jor tests. He can fly straight, the instructor sitting beside him has controls without fear or nerves" He knows how to stall. glide and climb, and he has learned a good deal too about the important art of landing.

Salvage of waste material, now advocated in the United States, has proved successful in England Con- sul Augustus F.. Ingram reports:
 "The National Salvage Council is now urging all local authorities to recover for utilization waste and dormant materials hitherto regard ed as refuse A definite national use has been found for many oi these articles and by well organized collections and proper treatment not only have national resources been conserved but reduction has been affected in the tonnage required for the importation of new raw mate. rial
 "In certain salvage operations such as detinning old cans. large authorities could put down a plant that neighboring small townshipf could, utilize. The advice given al the beginning of the war to burn all refuse is now obsolete. For in stance, waste paper, if properly utilized. saves a great deal of ship ping At present only one-third of the paper used is returned for trade use. although 365 trades are absolutely dependent on paper Some authorities are paying a bon us to their employees for bringing in waste paper from the refuse. In Shipley 80 tons of waste paper were collected during 1917. and that. in cluding rags. realized f641 )$3.- 119).

Wickite Defeated for Re- publican Senatorial Nom-
 inati0n in 4th Division
 by Judge Pratt.
SAFE FOR DEMOCRATS
Without a Contest in Dem- ocratic Primaries, Sul- ger Gets More Votes
 All Combined.

The official count of the April primary election was not completed In the Fourth Division until June 22, and it disclosed that Louis K. Pratt, the Fairbanks lawyer who was a pioneer resident of Skagway, won the hottest contest in the pri-' maries there, defeating Senator O.. P. Gaustad, who was candidate. for the Republican nomination by a vote of 233 to 176. } Senator Gaustad was one of the, leaders of the Wickershamites ins the last Territorial Senate. There was no contest for . Dem. ocratic nomination in the Fourth l Division, as William Maloney's can- didacy was not, take at all seriously. He received only 65 votes in the entire Fourth Division. On thsT other hand there was . very warm fight in the Republican primary be- tween Judge l.. K. Pratt and Sena :. tor o. P. Gaustad for the Senatorial nomination. Both Judge Pratt and Senator Gaustad are we'll knowns and both have many friends, ail of which would have a tendency to take people into the Republican prt- mary and not the Democratic. However. out of a total of l.l0s votes cast there was about 100 Sul- ger majority over the combined Re- publican, Socialist and Maloney vote.
 Delegate Charles, A. Sulzer receiv- ed 27 votes in the Republican pri- mary and two in the Socialist for the nomination for Delegate to Con- gress.
 The Fairbanks News-Miner com- menting upon the results says they show that "the Fourth Division is safe for the Democrats. Quite a scattering vote was given Democratic candidates by those vot: ing at the Republican primary. There
 was enough to nominate A. ]. Nor dale and George w. Pennington, two of the Democratic nominees for tho
