Of twenty trolley men, at the very
corner where had occurred his disas-
trous encounter with Glory. Half an
hour before West side car had been
held up, stoned and the motorman and
conductor taken off and beaten. Now
every passing trolley was target for
verbal abuse for passengers and crew
alike. Several of Kolb's best adher-
ents were in the crowd of riff-raff that
fringed the group of strikers. One Of
these. a red-faced rough. suddenly
called out:
sect onto what's on the tail end Of
this cara skirt Whatcha know
about that! Hey, you people. you got
ia stop that when it's startin' or
they'll have 'em In all your jobs Come
on an get her" The red-faced man
started toward the car as it stopped
for the crossing. Three or four gang
ster type youths yelled, get the
skirt" As with one impulse, half a
hundred men and boys surged about
the platform. The red-faced man,
leaping up the steps, seized the small
figure of the conductor and dragged 1t
to the street. Some one struck at the
strike-breaker over the red-faced
mans shoulder-and then Ford Bur
goyne came smashing and boring into
the crowd with all the grim relentless
ness Of those football days before
the gas had got to him.
You dirty yellow dOgs!" he painted,
ripping the collar clear off one gang
ster's coat as he hauled him out of his
path and landing a rangy right under
the red-faced mans ear at the same
instant. Turn around here and fight
a man-you woman beaters!" and an
rloter went down for the count.
The little conductor, freed from her
assailant's grip, was Keeling, her
hands to her head. when Ford seized
her arms, lifted her to the platform
and. kicking a last ambitious rough of
the step, rang the starting bell. AS
the car pulled away from the corner
and out of the incipient mob, he
looked down at the little conductor
"Good Godl Glory Blair" he
breathed.
"You see, Ford" said Glory, as they
sat on the tiny side porch Of Glory's
little home, IF 1t had been just fol

Spiders Hard to Tame.

A spider Is one of the hardest crea-
lures in the world to tame. according
to scientists who have made the at
tempt. They say the insect hasn't any
idea of time. and. to seek its confidence
one must have unlimited patience.
One scientist, after gaining the conf
dence of spider by feeding 1t flies,
sought to test its senses by foOling 1t
with a piece of meat, the size Of fly,
rugged up with a fy's head and wings.
The spider stopped in its web, about
an inch from the camoufage, and later
couldn't be gotten from its nest to
even look at the thing. Other spiders
evinced the same wariness, although
it is not known whether 1t was their
sense of sight or smell that was keen
est. One scientist destroyed spiders
web and stayed up all night to watch
it make another. believing it worked
at night. At 6 a. m. it ran out Of q
window without attempting to work
before his gaze.

The Whole Secret Of
Simply Matter Of the Makers Policies

This you will realize-once you
try a Brunswick-that super-tire
is possible only when the name
certi6es that the maker 10 follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for ~ years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are a
matter Of expense. And these vari-
atoms affect endurance. 1t rests
with the maker how far he wishes
10 go-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
ents to hold one back.

 In many instances business'men and others have received communi- cations which demand an immediate snswer, and in as much as ships re- main in this port only a very brief perio6 at this season of the year, it often happens that the outgoing mail Is closed by the time the incoming mail Is distributed, or shortly there- after.

ALAsKA'S RECORD

There would appear to be a di-
 rect relation between patriotism and
 the spirit of the American pioneer. This is called to mind by the re-
 cord of Alaska in the war, as set
 for'h in the report of the Secretary
 Of the Interior. To appreciate this
 fully, one must understand the ad-
 verse conditions of transportation, msu and telegraph service, climate, and the immense distances in that frontier. Many. registrants were at work 500 and 100 miles from the neares: local Board and voluntarily trHTeled these distances for the pur- poses of examination and induction into service.
 Yet the cost Of the first regis tratiOn Of 1l,O71 individuals was s8S0, or 3.2 cents per reglstrant. This Is most impressiev when com pared with the national average of 5+ cents in 1917. There was an un usually large proportion Of regis tr"n4s giving their permanent ad- dresses in other states, to which they were transferred. Net regis tratiOn was 6575, of whom the nun Der finally placed in class l was Siss, or 53.2 per cent. On October l 1918. 22OO registrants had been fadpeted, and in addition many hundreds, inpatient for action, had enlisted in the British Or Canadian forces. The territory thus is shown to have furnished approximately 12 per cent Of it's total white popula- tion to the cOlors. The total cost of inductiOn was $5.45 Der man in duCted, by comparison with $4.93. tho NatiSNaI average, which is an amazing showing when physical diff are considered.
 It $ also seen that there has been a rather definite previous pro- cess aE selection in determining tho kind of men who voluntarily seek life ilf the new places. Only 10 per, cent of the registrants examin- cd were rejected by local boards. Tn, National average for 1917 was 2S per cent. Of those accepted by local boards, only 2.6 per cent sre rejected at mobilization camps. Tn. National average here was 5.S Der cent. From this it would seem that the territory is well supplied with conscientious physicians who know their business.
 Alaska has reason for pride in Its record. A less striking achieve mept would have been excused read fly enough. But to the men who ar pushing the frontier back obstacles were made only to be triumphed oYer.-Portland Oregonian.
