THEY GO-THEY COME
(DaWSOn NeWS)

Sourdoughs by the hundreds have scattered out from Dawson over the world the last month The fall erodus is on. They go to playgrounds far beyond the horizon and to old homes. But they will return.
 The North grips one in bonds that cannot be severed. The germ, once in the blood cannot be eliminated Even those who go and "get" down on their luck so hard they cannot negotiate a ticket to re turn for some time eventually get back. If they are not in this part of the North, they are in some other part. The North is broad.
 Dawson is the daddy of Northern camps, and tens of thousands who first landed here are in Alaskan camps. Their names are legion and their works are wonders, and yet Yukon retains an army of her own, and next spring will see a fress influx.
 Those who sail south now will have the fever for Yukon in their veins even now. The period of incubation is scarcely more than six months. Then 1t breaks out in virulent form The only cure is to return. They go today-they return tomorrow.

BLUE TICKET THEM

Ketchikan, as we'll as other cities, have
 what is termed undesirable citizens" Is 1t not time that the authorities wake up and investigate the character of every in dividual who is looked upon as a menace to the community? We Americans are a happy-go-lucky lot and are thinking of making money more than we do of the vel fare of the coming generation. There are a few individuals in this city that are con tinually harping upon the man or the com pany that is doing it's best for the commun- ity at large and invariably 1t is the man that only works enough to keep his carcass from falling over the precipice. The radical man is the one to whom we refer. He is a thorn among the unions and is prominent in starting trouble among the ranks of organized labor These characters in every city have made their boasts of what they will do to get even with some individual
 Not all of them make good their boast, but some do; and if we look back upon the early life of some of the characters of

 AND MANY PRISONERS; KOL- CHAK HAS CLOSE CALL

LONDON, Nov 19.-(P) Wireless despatches from the soviet news bu- reau at Moscow say that the bol- sheviH forces operating against the army of General Yudenitch have cap tured a total of seven towns and 2&,OOO prisoners with a considerable supply of war material. The soyiets claim that Yudenitch is practically surrounded and must eventually sur render, Reports from Helsingfors say that the Yudenitch soldiers are rapidly losing heart. More than 2O,- 900 are said to have deserted to the bolsheyik lines.
 The bolsheviki official reports say that Admiral Kolchak narrowly es- capped assassination at the hands O. his own soldiers, following the evacu- atjou of Omsk. Several hand gren- ades were thrown at the commander of the all-Russian forces. Six sol diers were killed and 12 wounded near the admiral who was uninjured.

IN WILSON'S HANDS

When the senate adjourned sine die Wednesday evening without taking any action relative to ratification of the peace treaty it thus put the treaty back into the hands of President Wilson. What he will do with it is a matter which will undoubt- edly cause some speculation and possibly figure in the calculations of the politicians in their activities during the two weeks recess which the congress is taking before the opening of the next regular session.
 It is generally believed that the Presi- dent will retain possession of the treaty until congress reconvenes and resubmit 1t in it's original form to the senate for recon sideration. It is possible that he might, in the meantime, to find out how the asso- ciated powers look upon the reservations proposed by Senator Lodges committee, or just what changes in the document would be agreeable to the other signatOry powers, and in resubmitting 1t to the senate transmit such information to 1t as basis for affecting a compromise between the two clements
  lack of definite action by the senate con stitutes a rejection of the whole treaty. On three votes resolutions for ratification failed to pass by big majorities. Only the resolution for ratification boiled a ma jority vote, and this lacked the tWO-thirds vote required. That one was declared by President Wilson to mean 'nulliticatiOn of the treaty.' It is thus clear that as far as the action of the senate means anything, 1t means rejection of the treaty aItho it does so by indirection rather than openly and in such a manner as would make it's meaning and intent plain to the whole country. As far as results are concerned, it could not more effectively have rejected the treaty if it had passed a resolution re .jecting it.
 There are few persons who will at tempt to say that the people of the United States as a whole desired such rejection. While there are but few who do not realize that there are defects in the treaty, most Americans are convinced that 1t is the best arrangement possible under existing con ditiOns and can be depended on to resent the senate's indirect rejection when they realize that it is such.

CANNOT BE TAKEN ALIVE
Gorlllas VIII Fight to the Death, and
Are to Be Feared, Even When
Mortally Wounded.

The most perilous job that any one
can undertake in the jungle is the cap
ture Of full-grown gorilla. 1t is said
that no gorilla has ever been captured
alive after he was full grown. He
would be bold man who would at
tempt such feat. Gorillas fear moth
Ing. Even when MORALLY wounded
they show ar. agility, strength and fe-
rocity which Is astonishing. A famous
traveller once stated that it would take
100 men to hold down gorilla with
any degree of safety.
On the other hand, all other apes
are said to be pathetically easy to cap
ture. The usual method Is for trap
per to seat himself where he is certain
to be observed by these creatures and
pretend to drink from bottle of
crude spirits. When he is sure that
he has been observed, he leaves the
bottle and goes away.
The moment his back is turned the
monkeys rush to appease their curios-
lty concerning the contents of the bot
tie. They like the taste of the spirits,
and quarrel among themselves for 1t
till the bottle has been emptied. They
are soon overcome by the intoxicant,
and the trapper returns and gathers
them in.

ENAMELING TO PREVENT RUST
Ordinary Material Which Dries Quick.
ly Is of Little Use, as 1t Chips
of Rapidly.

In order to do away with rusting of
parts beneath the hood black enamel
ing may be resorted to with good eff
feet. 1t is possible to get black enamel
today which when properly applied
looks little inferior to the baked-on
variety. Ordinary enamels which dry
quickly are Of little use, as they chip
and flake Off quickly. Parts to be
enameled should, If possible, be taken
off and cleaned with stir wire brush.
The enamel should be applied with
stiff varnish brush. The enamel may
take as long as week to dry and
care must be used to have an atmos-
phere free from excessive dust; that
means not to dry 1t in the upper story
Of hay barn. Parts that may be
enameled to advantage include steel
fan blades, pulley arms, brackets and
elbows, nuts that are not often dis
turbed, exposed pieces of shafting.
pinion-wheel centers, operating rods,
collars, etc. Even cylinder casting
may be so treated, as good enamel
win stand heat without blistering.

Length Of Arms and Lens

According to many measurements
made at the Anthropological labora-
tory In London, the right arm in
human beings is in a majority of cases
longer than the left arm, while, ON
the contrary, the left leg is longer than
the right leg.
sometimes, however, the relative
proportions are exactly reversed but
seldom does perfect equality exist be
tween the two sides. The tendency
OF me right arm to exceed the left arm
IN strength is sometimes greater in
men than In women, while equality of
strength In the two arms occurs almost
twice as frequently with women az
with men.

Captain Charles J. Glidden, of the

ties, now stationed in the administra-
tive department Of the United States
Flying School, Southerfield, Georgia,
saws:
"The Pan American Aeronautics
convention and exhibition to be held
at Atlantic City during the month of
May will bring to the attention of the
American people the wonderful pro-
gress of aviation. The work of air.
craft during the war establishes its
practleability for commercial uses and
insures the creation in this country of
a complete aerial service, connecting
tatlon of persons, mail and merchan-
disc.
Before the close of 1920 l conf
IDENTIFY predict this service will be in
full operation, with extensions to all
countries on this hemisphere. In the
United States trunk lines will be estab-
lished across the country which will
place every city and town within six
hours from some twenty-four distrib-
uting points. Once created and in OPP
GRAFTON our extensive coast line could
be put under complete protection from
any possible invasion. Thousands of
college trained aviators in and oct of
the service are now waiting to join in
the operation of an aerial service.
"The government calls for fifteen
thousand men to enlist in air service
for one or three years time This is
bound to receive a quick response, as
here is an opportunity for men to be
Immediately assigned to duty in the

ing, quarters and rations, extra paw
begins with instructions to operate
the aircraft. As the number of men
wanted is limited to fifteen thousand
for the entire country, quick aDplica-
ton to the nearest recruiting officer
will be necessary before the privilege
is withdrawn.
