SAYSRATES MUST

Freight rates to Alaska are disgrace at the present time and something must be done to secure reductions" said MauTice D.

Tt Is not only the rates but the prac- tiee being pursued by the companies that demand Investigation and reme- dg.

There is nu question in my mind that the bill passed by the legislature, author izinx the entrance of the Territory into the shipping business will result in much better conditions"

MONEY VALUE IF REMkINING.|N .
 SCHOOL

Washington.-Th value or staying ct school is stated in dol lars and cents in figures compiled by the bureau of education and now being distributed to boys and garIs throughout the country by the child ren's bureau.
 From a study of a large number of actual tests it has been found that at 25 years of age the boy who remained in school until he was IS had received $2OO0 more salary than the boy who left school at IA and that the better educated youth was then receiving more than $500 q year more in pay.
 This is equivalent to an invest meut of $1S,OOO, at 5 percent the statement said. Can boy in- crease his capital as fast in any other way?
 From this time on, the salary of the better educated boy will rise still more rapidly, while the earn ings Of the boy who left school al II will increase but little"
 While wages have increased with the war, the proportions shown i'll a table of weekly earnings still hold true, the statement said. The boy who left school at 14 at the time the investigation was made received an average of $4 a week, his wages increasing each year 10 $7 a week at IS. The boy who re mained in school until he was Is began work at $lO Q week. At 20 the salaries were $9,50 8 week for the boy who left school early and $l5 for his better trained competi- tor. At 25 they were earning $12.75 and $31 respectively, and total wages up to that time had been $5,112.5O and $7337.60, so that the boy who remained in school had earned nearly 50 per cent more In eight years than the other lad ill 12 years.
 Children should stay in school as long as possible because educa- tion means better jobs," the chil- dren's bureau urges. Boys and girls who go to work at the end Of grammar school rarely get good jobs. The work they find to do is usually unskilled; it offers little training or chance for advancement When older they find that they are untrained for the skilled work that offers a future, Education mems higher wages.
 Many boys and girls when they leave school find work that offers a high wage for beginners. But these wages seldom grow because the work requires no training.
 "A position with a future and steadily increasing Wages reQulrts school training.
 Does it pay to continue your studies? Education means a sue cessful and useful life; it pays the individual. Education means eff cient workers; it pays the nation Show this to your parents and ask them what they think about it, Stay in school"

Nix Mate

Nix Mate is a large, gravelly shoal,
situated in the lower harbor, partly
bare at low tide and crowned by a
beacon 40 feet square and IL feet
high, upon whose top stands a black
wooden pyramid 20 feet high. AS
early as 1886, when it was granted to
John Gallop. this locality, then a
good-sized island used for pasturing
sheep, was known as Nix Mate, and
at later date divided with Bird
Island the dishonor Of being the place
of execution for pirates. The popular
form Of the legend is that Captain
Nix was killed at sea and that his
mate was charged with the crime.
he was executed on the Island, pro-
testing his innocence and prophesy-
ing that the place of his execution
would be washed away by the sea.
This Is not historical. for the present
name was applied to the isiaro years
before there were any executions for
murder or piracy in Massachusetts,.
Another form Of the legend was that
NIX was freebooter, who sailed into
Boston Harbor in 1880. his ship was
laden with treasure taken from nm
armed vessels. Anchoring down the
harbor. he and his mate went ashore
on the island on a dark night and
buried several bags Of coin. Deter
mined to keep the secret as close an
possible. Nix murdered the mate ana
buried him on the island. As all these
stories connected with the shoal are
mere legends it is impossible to tell
where the name originated.-Bosto

Frozen Lake In Africa

A lake that is always frozen, and
that in torrid Africa, is thus de-
scribed in Popular Science:
1T is a wonderful lake far off in
the heart Of Africa. where the sun
blazes sublimely and causes the wa
ter to evaporate SO quickly that an
outlet is considered by nature to be
a superfiuity--a lake like our Great
Salt lake, where the infiowing waters
have unloaded common salt for so
long a period that the saturation
point has been passed.
But there is a difference in the
material deposited. The soil through
which the African streams flow is
different from ours, and hence, in
stead Of finding common salt or So
dunn chloride in the Magadi lake, a
chemical test shows US the presence
of sodium carbonate (kitchen soda)
Moreover, this sodium carbonate is
crystallized into a solid mass-or, in
other words. is frozen.
Different substances solidify or
freeze at different temperatures.
Think Of lake 16 miles long and 4
miles wide frozen under the torrid
glare of the African sun. Wonder
full. isn't it?-and yet absolutely true.
1T is wild, uncivilized country in
which this lake is located. Here and
there may be seen the three toed foot
prints Of a stray rhinoceros that has
labored through the alkaline soil. The
country is being improved, however.
The lake is in British East Africa,
252 miles west Of Mombasa."

United States Helps Plan Farm
houses

1t does not cost any more to build a
house which will be pretty and con-
venient than it does to erect a home
1y and inconvenient dwelling, the
home-demonstrating agents of the
South are telling the people in their
territories. The State agricultural
colleges and the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture are backing
up this home beautiful" movement.
In some states the work is yet in the
lecture stage and in others demon
stration homes are being erected
which are to serve as good examples
of architecture in that community.
Such home was built last summer
In Talladega County, Ala. Not only
its plans. but its decoration and land
scape setting as we'll. have been made
according to the designs of the Gov
eminent experts. It is up-to -date in
every detail, but strict economy has
been used in the plans. Beauty Of
line and material are to be found in
this farm dwelling. So much care
has been put on the floor plans and
so many labor-saving devices have
been built in that housekeeping in It
will be easy. The house is built Of
lumber cut on the. farm and 1t is To-
Gated on a main thoroughfare, where
a comfortable. well-planned, and
pretty farm home can be q source Of
inspiration.

Painless Surgery
Without AnestheticS

A method of performing operations
painlessly is so simple, as explained
by DR.. A. l.. Soresi of New York, in
the Journal OF the American Medical
Association, as to provoke wonder
that it has not come into common
use.
Neither chloroform, ether or any OF
the common kinds of anesthctics is
employed, yet the patient, Iul!% con-
scious, is afflicted by no pain, says
Soresi, who served in Italy's princi-
pal military hospital in Milan.
In more than 5000 operations per-
formed under the painless method,
hundreds of which led to explora-
lions and missions of the lungs, no
untoward after effects resulted.
The following description was
given:
"a dry, sterile scalpel IS dipped in
pure phenol (carbolic acid.) The
point of the back Of the scalpel is
passed over the intended line Of in
cision, so as to mark it with the
phenol. A few seconds later the
scalpel is dipped again in tho phenol
and the tissues are incise,: very
slowly and gently, the scaipel being
moved up and down as in cutting
with saw. When blood appears a
sponge is used or blunt retractors
are applied If necessary. the scalpel
being dipped in pure phenol as often
as required.
by this method film Of rhenol is
depoSited on the blade This film
comes in contact with the tissues as
they are cut, thus anesthettzirg them.
This film is rubbed off by the tissues
or washed off by the blood through
which the blade passes, and therefore
has to be renewed by dipping the
scalpel in the acid as often as neces-
sary, according to the depth of the
tissues to be incised."
The method described is expected
to prove of great value whore the
use Of local or general anes,hetics
is for many reasons inadvisaLle or
impossible,
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1919-10-11

During the recent severe forest fires
in certain sections Of the West, car
rier pigeons were successfully en-
ployed to convey messages from fire
fighters "at the front" to head
quarters. The test Of the birds for
this use was on q limited scale but
has encouraged the Forest Service
officials to believe that they can be
employed prof1tably on larger scale.
The experiment lends special inter-
est to a plan which Is being consid-
cred for cooperation between the De-
partment Of Agriculture and the
Navy Department, under which car
rier pigeons ana equipment Of the
latter department may become avail.
able. To establish a SUCCESSFUL car
rier pigeon system it will be neces-
sary to lay plans during the coming
winter, to have the posts properly
located. ana get the birds acclimated
and begin their training. Flights Of
600 miles in q single day have been
made, while a distance Of 40 to 200
miles means a two or three hour
flight for the average bird. Since
the distances which would be covered
in Forest Service work are consid-
erably less than this there appears
to be no difficulty in this regard. In
most instances the flights from fire
lighting areas to headquarters would
be considerably less than so miles.
The value Of the birds would be par
ticularly great in mountainous
regions where travel is difficult.
