TAMES PRISONERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct.24.-
The finding Of passage In the Bible
recently lead Frank T.. Harris of
Denver, Colo, and Jesse F.. Blake of
Pike Springs, Ark, to abandon a
prison strike" at the United States
Disciplinary Barracks on Alcatraz
Island, San Francisco bay, the Fed
eral prison officials said.
The two men, said to have been
leaders among a group of "conscien-
tious objectors" confined on the is
land who had refused to work. said
they dropped their trouble making
tactics when they noted this passage
in Romans XIII, verses and2:
Let every soul be subject unto
the higher powers. For there is
no power but OF God: the powers
that be are ordained Of God.
'Whosoever therefore resisteth
the power, resisteth the ordinance
OF God; and they that resis. shall
receive to themselves damuat;on."

HUSKIES
HIT BY II. c. L.

NENANA, Alaska, Sept 20. (By
Mali) Alaska winter trail dogs,
who are summer boarders" at dog
farms along the Yukon river and
its tributaries, suffered the general
fate of boarders this year by having
their board raised on account of the
scarcity of fish, their main food.
The usual rate of $4.00 per month
was raised to $500 and $500 by
some farms"
! Operations of commercial fish
cannery near the mouth of the Yukon
it is generally believed, has reduced
the number of fish that reach the
upper waters of the system. Before
the cannery was started no fish
shortage was reported.
Nels Stol, Nenana ''sourdough"
who conducts dog farm near here
said he was not able to catch enough
fish this summer to feed his seventy
"boarders." AS result he had to
buy other food which has raised in
price. Even at $500 a month, he
estimated he was barely breaking
even.

Prof. Mcdowell Addresses p.


gathered in the Assembly room of
the High School last Friday evening
to hear the message which Prof. +.
M. Mcdowell of Lamont had for the
! Parent-Teacher's. Association OF
Leon. The fact that more were not
present was attributed to the ex-
tremely cold weather and the social
ceding nights.
An excellent musical program
was rendered in the early part of
the evening, and after it's conclusion,
Prof. Mcdowell spoke on Modern
Problems of Education" In the be-
ginning, he expressed the thought
it requires change of the human
heart of the masses, which can only
be brought about through education.
! Education is national problem and
must be met by national control.
Prof. Mcdowell brought out some
startling facts concerning school at
tendance and illiteracy in the Unit
ed States. The great war has awak-
which heretofore we had blindly be-
lieved to be all right. Seventy per
cent of our citizens reach the sixth
grade, and only two per cent "rad-
uate from high school. About one
in every twenty persons over ten
years Of age in the United States
are 3O,OOO,OOO nersons in the Unit
ed States who are, to greater or
less degree, physically inefficient.
Four millions of children are taught
today by teachers who have had lit
tie or no high school training and
no professional preparation. Besides
the fact that teachers are unquali-
fled. there is a great shortage of
them and thew or nnnr1v mold
that the. best ones are being driven
out of the profession.
All these and many other points
equally as startling were brought
out in a convincing manner. In
closing he summed up the
for American citizenship as follows:
l. Every child has a right to be
a. Present conditions do not
b. There should be prevention
2. Every child has a right to be
prOperly educated.
This requires that he must have
the proper knowledge, skills and at
titudes necessary for Health, Voca-
ton, Leisure, Civic Life, and Moral
Life.
After Mr.. Mcdowell concluded his
speech. the business of the meeting
was disposed of. A report was
heard on the action taken on the
plans for Community House.
Further plans for the entertainment
to be put on by the Association in
January were discussed and the
program for the January meeting
was announced. Miss Dansdill from
Des Moines will be the chief speaker
on that occasion, and Il is hoped

WOMEN'S TENNIS FAST
ADVANCING IN AMERICA

The advance of women's tennis in
America was strikingly ILLUSTRATED =
the high quality of play in the recent
national tournament in Philadelphia.
but the most significant strides were
revealed in the mixed
doubles event. 1t has long been
claimed that Americans cannot play
good mixed doubles, one reason given
being that the girls are not able to
stand the pace OF the American volley-
ing game. In England a far higher
standard has prevailed in mixed COM
petition for some years.
There are two kinds of mixed dou-
bIes. the informal. Weekend house
rarty type. and the stern. honest-to-
goodness tournament play In the
former the men either hit consistently
al one another. or pat easy ones to
TIE girls, who shrek ecstatically
whenever they make what is consid-
cred a good return. The latter how
ever. is relentless and purely business
like. Since IL is one OF the cardinal
rules Of doubles TO play so far as pos
sihie at the weaker member OF the
opposing team. 1t is only natural that
the girl should bear the brunt Of the
defensive work in any high-clas
mixed match. And since no chain is
stranger than its weakest link, the
power or a team usually depends upon
the ability OF its feminine member
