Traders Warned

A combination of circumstances
served to force stocks into the market.
There was first the cumulative effect
of all the warnings that have been sent
out by Stock Exchange houses during
the last fortnight, pointing out the
dangers inherent in the market in its
present stage. On Friday last the ma
jority of firms emphasized the fact that
with tight money a fixture and stocks
up thirty-tive points from the low OF
the year, it was time to trim sails and
prepare for the squall. These warn
ings undoubtedly had good deal to 40
with pcrsuadiSg many outsiders to sell
their stocks, and the failure Of the mar
l;et to rally in the afternoon probably
caused other holders to let go. On top
OF it all the big professional operators
took a position on the short side early
in the day, and their offerings added to
the pressure. 1t has been long time
since Wall Street was as blue as it was
yesterday.

HIGH AUTHORITY TO DISCUSS THE
 PEACE PROBLEMS
Frederic R. Coudert, To Speak Here, is World Famous International
 Lawyer

Perhaps no man in the country Is more familiar with the peace treaty and the league of Nations and theil effects than Frederic R Coudert Who will speak on those subjects at the Juneau Public School auditorium next Thursday evening Mr. Coudert is one of our leading international lawyers, as was his father before him. He is director of the French alliance in the United States and has represented the French and British governments as well as our own ln many international matters. It was but natural, therefore, that he should devote d great deal of his time tc war matters, taking very lively in terest in it long before Americas en trance in it. He has maintained law offices in Paris for many years, and since the beginning of the war he has spent more than the usual per centage of his time there. Of course MT Coudert has given very careful consideration to all questions grow ing out of the war.
 It was inevitable that Mir. Couderf should become an international law yer and student of international mat. ters. His father, also, Frederic k Coudert. was among the foremost in ternational lawyers of the world. Fol decades he ranked among the three or four most famous members of the American bar, and was second tC none. He was chief counsel for tho United States in the Boring Sea ar bitration cases, member of the com mission appointed by Presiden' Grover Cleveland for Venezu ella in the arbitration resulting from the British-Venezuela boundarj dispute which came near plungine 1.-the United States and Great Britalr into war, and was connected witt many other very important interna tional cases.
 Juneau is particularly fortunate ir having the opportunity to hear one of MT. Couderts learning and talent who has made a particular study oi the questions, discuss the peace treaty and the League of Natons-ques tions which involve more that vii count for the veal or woe of human ity than anything that have risen ir this generation.
 Mir. Coudert will be guest of the Alaska Bar Association at a dinner before the meeting at the schoo building auditorium. The dinner will begin at 6:15 pm, at the Gastineau Hotel
 A musical program is being ar ranged by Willis E NCwcll to bf given in connection with MT. Cou dert's address. Miss klondy Nelson talented violinist, will play violin solo and Eldon Day will sing

time has not intervened to deter mine many questions which may be learned beyond the shadow of req sonable doubt when they are com pleted. When they are completed whatever the time may be, it will be established, with reasonable degree of certainty, whether salmon do or do not return to the parent streams, and if so, when. The age will also be known.
 Some of the lakes and streams in which eggs have been planted may not be suitable for determining the above questions, since salmon do now ascend part way; but there are other bodies of water, free of fish life which may be used if sufficient funds are made available
 It will be necessary, and plans have been perfected, to build lad dcrs around the barriers so that the adults may return should they be in clined to do so.

Owing to the heavy increase recent

consequences which may follow the
use of wood alcohol. denatured al

Occasional cases of this nature have
been occurring from time to time for
many years but since prohibition
went into effect, there has been an
alarming increase In all sections of
the country due to the preparations
OF drinks in which wood alcohol has
been used or In some cases where 1t
has been taken straight.
The harmful action of this poison
comes not only from taking II inter-
naiiy. but may likewise be induced
by breathing its fumes. and by absorp-
tion through the mucous membranes
of the body. Its effect Is usual no.
t'ceable very shortly after exposure.
Within n few hours after drinking.

complained by a violent attack of
vomiting. body pains. extending over
the region OF the kidneys. and excess

as an ingredient in medical and phar- |

HAD ITS ORIGIN IN PERSIA
Term Employed In the Ancient
Game Of Chess.

The historical adventures Of the
word "check" give an interesting ex-
ample of how common term has
gained its present meaning.
1t comes originally from Persia, and
is associated with the game of chess.
A shah is Persian king, and centu-
ries ago the word shah, or something
like 1t, was used to designate an at
tack upon the king in chess. Under
the influence Of the medieval Latinist
the word underwent curious change
to "scaccus" and later passed into old
French as 'eschec" or "eschac." From
the French 1t was but step through
the Norman tongue into English as
CHECK" or "cheque."
After its form was established the
meaning Of the word began to extend
from formidable move in a game Of
chess to any stoppage or rebuff Of
something In progress, and gradually
1t came to designate anything which
controlled or restrained anything else,
and so came 10 mean a token or ticket.
In the early days of drawn notes." or
drafts, the counterfoil or stub in the
book was called "check." About the
beginning of the nineteenth century
the word became synonymous with
draft, and some forty years ago was
established as the statutory definition
for "a bill Of exchange, drawn on q
banker, payable on demand"

aim OF the War Savings educational
committee, Of which Smaller Mathews
Is the chairman. This new plan was
decided upon at recent meeting of
the committee at the Chicago head
quarters. The object is to get high
school students to prepare for col
lege education through saving and in
vestment in War Savings stamps. To
secure special training in a college,
technical school, normal school, pro-
fessional school or university costs
money, but regular saving by high
school students will open the way for
any boy or girl of determination.
Money can be earned after school, on
Saturdays and during the vacation
periods. Some boys and girls have an
allowance from parents. Frequently
they receive cash gifts. This money
put into Thrift and War Savings
stamps will work for the high school
students while they are getting their
preliminary education.
Mrs. Alfred J. Benson, manager Of
the division Of schools and churches
for Illinois, strongly urged the keeping
Of personal account by children. She
points out that there are three sources
of income for the school child. They
are individual earnings, allowances by
the parents and gifts. Some system of
individual accounts for school chill
dren may be worked out by the COM
mittee later.
The normal schools and teachers
colleges Of the district will receive
the attention of the committee. An ef-
fort will be made to have Thrift
courses put in both these classes of
educational institutions at once.
At the meeting Of the committee
were: Smaller Mathews, chairman !;
Il. u. Graft Of Indianapolis; J. v. Nc
Nally, Detroit; Thomas Boyce, MIL

Red Sails.

Violet seas under deep skies and
dotted on the horizon from Quiberon
to Belle Isle the red sails of the Brit
tany fishing boats. Along this stretch
of the Atlantic coast red sails have
BEEN known immemorially. They ex-
listed In Caesars time. In the Com
mentaries" occurs the remark That the
people of the coast made their sails
of tanned skins sewn together. Either
they had no flax or did not understand
Its use, but the more likely reason In
Caesars opinion was that they knew
no ordinary sail would stand against
the ocean winds, owing to the great
weight Of their boats. In time the
Breton fisherman exchanged his heavy
boat for lighter one and then he
hoisted the canvas sail. Different In
texture to when Caesar conquered
Gaul, the sails of the FInisterre seas
are Of the same tawny hue. The Bre-
ton Is the most conservative being In
the world. The color Of the sails Of
his forefathers must be the color of
his sails, and Of those of his son. On
this point nobody wilr- be found to
disagree with him.
