a story of the COW punchin', gun playin'
West. 1t is, but not in the way you'd
think. There is gun play when Pierre
Lands loses his head, but that's all.
Joan Carver lived with her father IN a
shack on Lone River. She had never seen
a man except her father. Her mother had
died tragically when Joan was child.
Her father had often told her that 'there
amt a-goin' to be no man in yer life,
Joan Carver" but youth was stronger
than the fathers half-crazed will, and
when she was seventeen Joan ran away.
Pierre Lands marries her and takes her
to his place in the mountains. Her father
shows up at Pierre's placeland tells Pierre
that Joan is the daughter Of worthless
woman. "If you see her eyes lookin' and
lookin' at another man, you kin know
what's to come"
Frank Holliwell, "sin-buster," tries to
teach Joan things from books. Jealousy
Pierre, in a passion, marks "his woman"
with the two bars with which he brands
his cattle. As the iron burns the flesh of
her shoulder Joan screams and Prosper
Gael arrives
Now consider, if you please, in Book
Two, one Jane West, leopardess and a
hater, cook at the Lazy-Y, whose beauty
draws the eye of Jasper Morena, play
producer, and his wife. They see in Jane
West just the woman to act part in a
play they have in hand. The cook refuses,
but afterward changes her mind for a
cogent reason, and, going East, makes a
name for herself and fortune for Moreno
and the dramatist.
This is a first novel, we are told. 1t is
highly interesting and of considerable
promise. Mrs. Burt gets the readers SYM
pathy for Joan. There is no doubt of the
photoplay possibilities. We suppose Mr..
Beach has secured them; but Nazimova is
the actress for the part of Joan. If not
her, be very careful to whom you en-
trust it.

RESOLUTION
INTRODUCED

Representative James Began,
youngest member Of the Alaska ter
ritorial legislature, and the only mem
Der who was drafted for war service.
introduced in the house resolution
demanding that the government take
steps to deport those undesirable Irs1
paper citizens, WHO surrendered their
papers rather than share war burden
of their adopted country.
The resolution reads as follows:
I'VE. your memorialists, the lesis-
la;ure of the Territory of Alaska, d.
most respectfully and earnestly
represent that:
Whereas, the exemption of aliens,
both declarnts and non-declarants,
during the late war was one of, the
most trying experiences Of the draft
boards throughout the territory; and
Whereas, Alaska having a large
population of foreign born residents
engaged in the fishing and mining
industry, enjoying equal privileges
with the citizens thereof, it is de-
plorable fact that when the draft was
called into effect these foreigners
Immediately claimed exemption, and
many refused to stand by the country
which offers them more advantages
than their mother country.
"Now, Therefore, be Is resolved, that
the action of such aliens was
cowardly, disgraceful and unpatriotic
and every such person whether he be
alien or citizen who refused to
respond to his country's call branded
himself as a dangerous and undesir
able resident.
Therefore, we, your memorial1sts
pray that congress pass bill deport
ing all aliens who have surrendered
their first papers, and making it i'm
possible for non-declarant aliens tt
become citizens.
"And your memoralists will evel
pray"

FLOATING Mine
STILL MENACES
MERCHANTMEN

CONSTANTINOPLE, March (cor-
respondence of the Associated Press).
Floating mines in the Dardanelles
and Sea of Marmora still constitute
great danger to navigation. Several
ships have been lost since the armis-
tice through mine explosions. The
armistice required Turkey to indicate
all mines, but it has not been possible
in all cases to. give their exact
position. Minesweepers have been at
work for some time, but naval
authorities say it will be many
months before vessels can proceed
through the straits with safety. No
navigation is permitted at night. On
passenger vessels lifeboat drills are
held regularly, just as in days when
submarines menaced the seas.
Even in the broad stretches of the
Aegean sea the greatest precautions
are taken against floating mines. In
certain areas passengers are required
to wear life preservers, and narrow
lanes of travel have been marked out
for pilots to follow.
But it is in the Black sea that the
greatest danger exists. Not only are
there numerous floating mir es there,
but extensive unmarked mine fields
laid Unfortunately by the Germans,
Russians and Bolsheviki. They are a
constant menace to shipping. The
steamer bearing the American Rcd
Cross mission to Rumania narrowly
missed a floating mine while proceed
ing to Constana. Often these mines
are carried down by the swift current
in the Bosporous straits to the sea
of Marmora, where they are an ever
present danger to the hundreds OF
naval and merchant vessels.
Naval authorities say it will be
several years before the waters OF
Europe are entirely free of floating
mines. Many of the German mines
destroyed by allied trawlers were
found to have been moored by rope
When the rope rotted the mines broke
from their anchorage and drifted IN
many cases to the main line OF
steamer travel.

LOUVRE GEM COLLECTION
