TRAIL BLAZERS FROM
 FAIRBANKS HERE ON
 WAY TO BIG OUTSIDE

When the aurora is getting in its hardest licks, at about 2 o'clock to. morrow morning, Karstens auto will leave town for Chitina, carrying away from here men who have the price to live anywhere, and who are ready to spend it to get there-Jimmy Hamil, U. G. Wherry, Luther Hess and Harry St. George. They are all old trail blazers, and nobody need have any sympathy for them over their long, cold ride tomorrow morn, for they have had lots just like it, or worse.
 Which reminds us that it was nine years ago yesterday that Jimmy Hamil and his party of five old-timers here made little history on our Richard son highway by riding all the way from Fairbanks to Valdez on horse back The trail was not as good as it is now, and their feat was supposed then to be almost impossible, Fair banks believing that they would never get through. They had good saddle horses, plenty to drink and smoke, and they really had a most enjoyable trip, but it was a surprise to Our Town that they could make it. Now Jim is going over that same trail. by auto-next spring he will return by airplane.
 Such is life in the Far North-you never can tell.-Fairbanks News Miner.

England Harbors Ex-Queens.

~ .
England will soon be the land of FIVE
queens, potential and powerful group
either in politics or poker. The figure
resembles misdeal, but it is ex-
planned by the fact that England has
a queen and queen mother, while
there are in England the one-time
queens of two other countries. They
are soon to be joined by another, En-
press Marie of Russia. She and the
two other foreign ladies are deep In
unhappiness - three of the saddest
queens, as an observer has remarked,
in modern history. The two whom
Empress Marie will join are Empress
Eugene and the queen mother of Por-
tugal.
These three women plainly tell the
story of greatness. One of them was
driven from her throne and her son
was killed fighting for another coun-
try; another was exiled after having
been robbed of her husband and son,
and her other son driven from the
throne; the last was widowed and her
son, her grandson and her grand
daughters brutally murdered.

A Filipino Vassar.

What the occidental ideals of univer-
sal opportunities of education are to
mean to women Of the Orient takes on
large significance with the estab-
lishment in the Philippines of a uni
versity for girls only. This university
is to be part of an educational group
called Centre Escolor de- Senoritas,
where until now the instruction to
girls has been only in the primary.
secondary and intermediate grades.
That this Filipino Vassar will develop
traditions characteristic of girls col
leges in the United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who has observed
how intellectually though shyly, girl
students from the Orient have en-
tered into the undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes at American
colleges.

All That Affected Her.

That the Empress Eugene is not
prone to brood sentimentally over the
past is evidenced by an incident that
occurred some years ago. She visited
Windsor castle, a palace in which in
the golden days of the empire she was
received as an honored guest. Those
who accompanied her on this second
visit lowered near her, fearing that
she would be overcome with the con-
trast between the past and the present,
especially when she viewed the apart
ments fitted up for her use and which
had not been changed. But it was
merely her artistic sense that was Of

HAPPY NATIVES OF sARAvvAK
Under Wise eovernment, People live
Easy Lives in Their GloriousIy
Fertile Country.

The tribe of Kayaf1s, inhabiting the
head waters of the Baram and Rejang
rivers of Sarawak, have lived for I'M
known generations almost isolated in
the interior of the island of Borneo.
There are many reasons for believing
them to be originally of Caucasian
origin. Many OF them have very light
skin, and they probably reached Bor-
neo by way of the Malay peninsula
from lower Burma. Rigid discipline
is characteristic of the domestic me-
mage, resulting in good manners and
recognition of authority.
For a good many years Sarawak
was under the independent govern
ment of white rajah, Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with unusual wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-sighted
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws, so that the island is one of the
best protected parts of the world in
this respect. Birds, beasts and butter
lilies are protected, not more than two
specimens of any one species being
allowed to the collector. In this way
the very beautiful and rare trees and
insects of the country are being main
tanned for the enjoyment of future
generations.
Another wise move Of the rajah
was to continue the native costume
what there is of tin place of intro
ducing the unsuitable. ugly and arti-
fetal modern clothing of Europeans.
This, as Stevenson points out, has
usually exactly the opposite effect
from that intended by well-meaning
missionaries, and the happy natives of
Sarawak are very well off as they are.

Coating Iron With Lead.

Lead as substitute for tin as a
coating for sheet iron, iron wire and
wire gauze was strongly advocated at
the Buffalo meeting of the American
Chemical society by Charles Basker-
vile, who exhibited some specimens
of process worked out by him.
Iron shingles, so treated, have been
exposed to the weather in roof test
for two years and eleven months and
show no signs of rust. They may be
bent without cracking the coating and
exposing the iron. Chicken wire so
treated is quite as good as the galvan-
( lied and cheaper to produce.

DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
In Eighteen Months "Nick Carter
Has Had Sales That Have Been
Record Breaking.

Nick Carter has come into his own
again. The king of the "paperbacks"
has made record breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply Of Nick Carter
books was exhausted, says the Sun.
His return to fame was unexpected.
1t was not the result of an advertis-
ing campaign, for the publishers of
tise. They depend instead for the
sale of their books on the lists printed
liz the back pages of each volume.
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the 'paperback'' tribe to
return. All the old favorites -Laura
Jean Libbey, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. 3.
d. 3. N. Southworth and Augusta j.
Evans-have "come back" surpris-
ingly.
Five years ago everyone was will
ing to predict that the movies had
killed the production of cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
ly from the screen than from the print
ed age-and the price was the same.
Publishers of the paper books are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired of the motion picture
or whether new class of readers has
arisen. OF one thing they are certain,
though, the demand for the 10 and 10
cent book has increased fourfold. If
it were not for the increased cost of
production these publishers would be
reaping the harvest of their lives.
Stories of American life-as seen by
Bertha M. Clay and other writer's of
her class and detective stories are
most in demand. Fortune telling
books and letter writer's also have a
large steady sale. Dream books
We're never so popular as they are to-
day, their publishers say.

II think there are no women in this
country capable of passing the air

however, she will be permitted to fly

she will be allowed to take a friend

CAUSED A CHANGE IN MIND
Circumstance That Made Mill Owner
Somewhat Relax His Ideas About
Strict Discipline.

81 personally began with the idea
that people might be hired and good
work gained from them," Julian s..
Carr, Jr., in System, writes. Mr.. Carr,
who is president of the Durham Hos
fery mills, goessoil: 81 thought in my
youth that rules made order and that
certain military discipline was es-
sential; that it was foolish to humor
people and all that, nor was going
to recognize certain local traditions
about days on which no work should
be done For instance, made up my
mind that quitting work to go to the
circus was not in accord with the best
industrial practices.
'sThe first circus came to town about
three months after we took charge Of
the mill, and was keen for the test.
We posted positive orders that the reg
ular hours of work were to be observ-
ed on that day. and that any person
who went off to the circus would be
discharged. The full force reported
as usual on the morning of circus day,
and went home to dinner confident
that at last we had brought order.
Tt gave me bit of pang, for I
should have liked to go myself!
"But duty is stern master, and
rejecting on that fact 1 hurried back
to the mill. Noticing crowd in a
side street, stopped to look. 1t was
our whole mill force vending its mer-
~ wpv fO tho magic tonf went
along myself, and resolved that, al
though abstract rules were well
enough, bit Of common sense and
knowledge of human nature might
profitably be blended with them. How
much Of our labor trouble generally is
due to enforcing countless rules with
military exactness?"

Curious Clubs.

The recent announcement that an
English "Bald-Headed Mems club" had
just met-the first time since 1916,
owing to the war-serves to recall one
or two odd clubs.
"The Fat Mans club" for instance,
was known to exist in Paris in 1897.
Its heaviest member turned the scale
at 1876 pounds and the chief qualifica-
ton for membership was to weigh at
least 900 pounds.
About this time there also met in
New York the Society of the Pointed
Beards'-a most exclusive club. No
one was eligible unless he had care
fully cultivated beard of natural
growth and terminating in one sym
metrical point half an inch from the
apex of the chin.
At two club dinners in 1898 even the
celery was served with its leaves

IS LARGEST OF INDUSTRIES
statIsticians Figure in Billions When
They Make Computations Of
Nv Live Stock Business.

The live stock industry is the larg-
est and, in more than one sense,
the most important industry in the
United States. Its extent, measured
by the value of live animals, amounts
to more than $S,OOO,OOOOOO Its inn
portance rests in the necessity for
live stock to consume the products of
farms and ranges, 80 per cent of which,
according to census reports. is fed to
live stock in the maintenance of soil
fertility, which cannot be kept up con-
tinuously and economically without a

occupies In the American diet, of
which it makes up 38 per cent based

has upon the social and economic well

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
American Genius Quickly Produced
Precision Blocks Accurate to
MilIionth Part of Inch.


One of Americas little-known war
fomances is revealed by John Fl. Van
Deventer in his story of precision
gauges, which appears in Everybody's.
Virtually all of our munitions had to
be made to limit gauges which had to
be corrected by means of precision
blocks to within a few millionths of
an inch. Twenty years ago." writes
Mr.. Van Deventer, "a Swedish tool
maker named Johansson made up his
mind that the millionth of an inch was
the coming thing-hunted during nine
years for a practical way to get it
and got it. How? Nobody knows ex-
cept Johansson, and he won't tell.
For over nine years he kept everybody
guessing. Our best shops imported
his blocks and used them for check
ing the gauges.
Then came the war, with its won
derful stimulation of American ge-
MUS. With it came also the need of
being independent of the old world
IN, the matter of gauges.
THE war took e. c. Peck away
from his job of running a great fac
tory in Cleveland and brought him
to Washington to take charge Of the
gauging of ordnance products. 1t
brought William 3. Hoke of st. Louis
to the bureau of standards, with an
idea Of how to produce precision
blocks. Colonel Peck and Major Hoke
got together, and in six months were
turning out precision blocks accurate
to the millionth part of an inch"
