c!a.S WORK WONDER.
They Are Giving the Huts in
France the Touch of Home
Being There Means Much.

1t was in q hut AT one Of the train
Ing schools in France. He was non.
commissioned officer. He had been in
France for eight months. and now was
back from the front as an instructor.
He hadn't seen girl OF his own kind.
= girl like his sisters. for weeks,
And there she stood behind the can
teen counter In this big. roomy, com.
Portable hut.
He bought bar OF chocolate. Then
he drifted over to the group around
the cisno. Presently he went back To
the canteen for a package of cigarets,
He strolled to the reading table and
leafed over magazine. Again he re-.
turned~-this time for q cake of soap
and some tooth paste.
For moment the rush at the can.
teen was over. He loitered at the
counter and looked at the girl She
smiled So did he. Then he blurted
out what he had been trying to say. for
20 minutes:
Gee. But It's nice to see q girl
like you!"
There arc girls like that all over
France--in camps. In towns In the
big cities-even at the front itself.
They are serving the canteens, run.
ming restaurants, handing out hot choc-
olate or coffee. pies and doughnuts.
They are giving the huts look Of
home--putting bright curtains at the
windows. posters on the walls, making
fiower.gardens at the doors. They are
mending for the soldiers.
But. most Of all. they are just being
there! They talk about the things
that sound like home. Perhaps they
know the very towns and streets and
girls that these boys know. They bind
together home and France! They are
the girls beside the men behind the
guns.
Without the organisations whose
uniforms they wear, these girls could
accomplish nothing However eager to
help. they could not even travel a.
individuals.
But with the backing Of these eatab.
lished. recognised and regulated bod.
les, they can work wonders.
When you think of war - brutal.

hood working with the soldiers In this
war---then give to support the organ

NATIVE WIDOWS NOT PROTECTED AT PRESENT TIME The Only Way in Which They Can Get Rights
 Is to Be Legally Married. SOME INSIDE FACTS Father Kashevaroff When Asked Gives Some
 Interesting Details
 of Customs.
SOME INSIDE FACT

The memorial passed by the Alas ka Native Brotherhood on Nov 21, 1 1917 and their resolution for the ! Federal laws, passed Dec. 27, 1917, printed in the Alaska Daily Empire February 9, 1918, has had a very beneficial effect on the Natives liv- ing at Juneau.
 The local ministers, working for the uplift of the Native people, made it their point to endorse the resolution of the A. N. B., using it in their sermons at church ser vices and prayer meetings, urging the Natives to comply with the laws. During the week there were seven weddings solemnized in the Russian church and three in the Native Pres byteran church. And there are more to come in the near future.
 The wrongful distribution of prop erty belonging to the deceased In dians, mentioned in the resolution, needs some explanation for the bene- fit of those who are not acquainted with Indian tribal customs and who do not realize the extent of the harm done by such practice.
 Father A. P Kashevaroff, who is an authority on Native customs in the North, when seen today and asked for additional details, said:
 Tn the marital life of the Indian, the wife has the custody of all moneys earned by the husband or herself She is also the sole GUS todan of their joint property. Yet, when the husband dies, she has no vonce in the distribution of the es- tate as she is not the heir to the property. The husbands tribal rela- | tives are the sole heirs. They divide the property among themselves, of ten leaving the widow in absolute want and penury. AS the widow is not a legal wife, according to the l laws of the country, she has no re dress, or perhaps she thinks she has no legal right to her share, and hence, she is left destitute. In the former days this custom did not bring so much harm, for tribal GUS 1 tom made it imperative on the part of the husbands tribe to supply her with protector, who was the nephew of the deceased, but at pres ent, the young people refuse to be tied to their old aunts. and if pres sure is brought upon them, they ap ply to the Courts for protection.
 "The Native Brotherhood of Alas ka wishing to legalize the marriages for the protection of the widows and children are appealing to the gov ernment to enforce the law so thai their mothers and sisters can live in peace
 "The churches and the Bureau oi Education are heartily in accord with this movement on the part ol the better class of Natives and vii render them all the support neces sary, also they will call the atten tion of the Federal government tc most fragrant cases in this vicinity and at other places"

PLEASING PROGRAM
 ISa RENDERED AT
 PRESBYTERIANC CHURCH

A very successful entertainment was held at the Presbyterian church last evening in honor of the boys of the Bible School. It was a father son affair whereby each one of the men present invited his own son as his companion or boy friend to sit with him at the delightful Hoov. erized dinner given in the basement of the church, under the auspices of the Adult Bible class of the school. The room was attractively decorated with flags and bunting, while the ta- bles showed signs that St. Valentine s Day was not forgotten. After the dinner was served the guests lis tended to the program of toasts pre- pared which too was to keep the boys in mind. The pastor, Rev. Geo
 G. Bruce, acted as toastmaster M
 c. Whittier responded to the toast ::
 "The Boy and His Home," Prof
 l.. D. Henderson to "The Boy and His School" and Rev. Dr. James H
 Condit to The Boy and His Church Over sixtey people voted the evening a happy idea and signal success
