WOMEN MUST
FORGE AHEAD
Mrs. Waller Glib Believes Fu-
ture Demands More
of Them

Brooklyn, n. Y, July 1S.-Mrs.
Walter Glib, chairman of Kings County
Committee of the National League for
Wonnan's Service, who has built up one
of the best branch organizations in any
part of the country, recently issued the
following statement on the public work
women can do in the future:
AT this period all the world is ask
ing: What is woman to do now? How
is she successfully to carry on her own
development, as well as that of others,
in peace time as she learned to do in
war time? 1t would seem that the Ma
tional League for Woman's Service
must hold at least one key to the situ-
alton.
MANY ask whether the organizat ton
as a whole; or the units individually,
will soon disperse. The very name
spells continuity, for surely women's
work will never end. War made it's
making them in many ways, and will
continue to do so for many months to
come; but the demands of peace will
not be less. but greater and more far
reaching than those of a war era, for
now the world. in it's period of read
justment, needs women. They fill dis
tinctive places, with their newly-en-
HANGED efficiency and their touch of
feminine kindness and sympathy which
they bring to their work."

ENGLAND FACES
COAL SHORTAGE
Output Is More Than 10000
600 Tons Less Than in
1918

London, July Is. - A shortage of
more than s70.oO0,oO0 tons of coal, as
compared with the 1913 output. is
faced by Great Britain in the COM
ing year. according to Sir Auckland
Geddes. president of the Board Of
Trade. He announced in the House
of Commons, that for the twelve
months from July 26 next. when the
miners seven-hour day comes into
effect, the production of British coal
is estimated at between 214,000,000
and 217,00o,000 tons. In 1913 the out
put was 2s7..000.000 tons.
Those newspapers which champion
ed the miners in their successful fight
for a shorter working day refuse to
concede the claim made by pessimis-
tic, prophets that reduction in hours
means corresponding reduction in
output, but there is general agree
ment that war strain and industrial
unrest have caused decline for the
moment in production per man, and
a serious view is taken of the situa-
ton.
Even If the amount of coal kept for
home consumption is held down to
the amount used last year on a strict
rationing basis. 196,0o0,00o tons, the
export surplus available will amount
to about 20,000.000 tons.
This, 1t is said, will have highly
serious results, for not, only must
England's continental allies go with
out the coal for which they are al
most entirely dependent on Great
Britain. but this country itself will
be tremendously handicapped by the
fact that it no longer will be able
to rely upon. coal as a substitute in
foreign trade for currency. Eng
land. according to analysis of the
situation, will now have to pay for
her imports in other goods or in
money.
The increase in the price of coal
for domestic consumption is variously
estimated at from $1.0S ton by Sir
Auckland Geddes to about SO by the
manager of Welsh iron and coal
company. This is expected to in
crease prices in practically all

BOY SCOUTS AND
THEIR GOOD TIME
Tell of Enjoyable Day at
Picnic Bowman and Com
pany at Good Hope

Once upon a time there was a
Bowman and Company. In that
same town were some Boy Scouts
who were invited to attend pic
mic held by the Bowman store at
Good Hope Mills. The Boy Scouts
arrived just in time to see the last
truck leave without them, but a
kind gentleman named Mr.. Fry
kindly consented to take them to
the scene in his "fiivver." The
Scouts who agreed to go were Web
ster, German, Alexander, Mag
lauchlin, r. Keller, Krause and two
others who were too shy to give
their names. Scout Executive Vlr-
gin accompanied them. This is how
the story of that picnic would read
if it were a fairy tale, but 1t is a
perfectly true one.
1 After arriving at Good Hope
Mills they gave demonstration on
first aid, the compass, signalling,
etc. The Scout salute was given
and Scout laws and oath repeated.
And then it rained. The people
who were on the picnic grounds
crowded into the covered bridge and
mill and had a merry time while
lunch was served. 1t was a fine
lunch indeed. The sun then came
out brightly and races were held
in the afternoon.
There was also swimming, dancing,
and many other kinds of good sport.
AS the swimming races were about
to take place old Jupiter Pluvius
decided it was time to begin action
again and he did so Immediately.
But the damp weather didn't spoil
our good time and we thank the
Bowman store most heartily for the
good fun we had that day. Thus
report the ones who were there.

RIVER IS RISING;
HIGHEST Of YEAR

Rains throughout the valley and
warm weather in the glacial noun
tain regions to the south, where
the Tanana river heads, have com
bined TO boost the water level in
front of Nenana to the highest
point reached this season, the gauge
at the A-Y. n dock registering 3.47
this morning, a rise of five inches
since yesterday. The water is fully
"a foot higher than it was a year
ago at this time. Glacial silt, for
which the Tanana is famed, has be-
gun to make its appearance in guam
tity, and the surface of the river
has been we'll covered with foam
throughout the day, indicating a
steady rise.
| The only inconvenience resulting
from the high water is that expert
enced by owners of cellars, who
have been compelled to remove
stocks from deep easements. The
water in the Easements keeps ac-
curate tab on the river level, ris-
ling and falling with the stream.
Once thawed, the loose gravel un-
derlying the town permits of the
free movement of the water from
the river.
/ The present water level, although
higher than usual, does not threaten
the inundation of any portion Of
the town, and it is expected that
there will be drop within the next
day or two. The river must rise
six feet or more before the street
level is reached, which would be a
most unusual stage Of water at this
time of the year.

OWNERS Of KID
READY TO RACE
FOR BIG PURSE

AS result Of the showing made
by Fred Douse's launch Victory in
the Fourth Of July handicap race.
there is considerable talk of a spe-
cial race between that boat and the
Anderson boat, Fairbanks Kid, and
hackers of the two boats are now
trying to bring the owners together
with the object of arranging a
match.
Herman and Louis Anderson, own
ers of the Kid, have announced
their willingness to enter the boat
in such a race. In fact, they have
requested The News to say for them
that they are ready to race the
Douse boat for any size side bet, at
any time within the next few
weeks, from Nenana to Fairbanks
or an equal distance over the course
in front of Nenana. The offer is
in reality a challenge.
Whether or not Mr.. Douse will
consider the Anderson proposition
will not be known definitely until
the arrival of the Victory from the
upper town this afternoon, but il
is hoped that some kind of a match
can be arranged, for it is regarded
as certain that such race would
stimulate interest greatly in events
Of that character and encourage
other owners of motorboats to get
into the racing game, with the pos
sibility of a big regatta on Labor
day.
The broad expanse of water front
ing Nenana, with an unobstructed
!iew of the river for more than
mile up and down stream, gives

of Nenana's leading hotels - the

abundance of hot water for baths
and for all other purposes. The
capacity of the boilers is practically
unlimited, they are economical in
the consumption of fuel, and they
require very little space.
The boiler at the Southern is
burning coal from the Lynn mine,
and both boiler and fuel are prov
ing highly satisfactory.
The heaters were shipped into the
country and installed by w. H.

SOLDIER BOYS EXPECT
TO GET RELIEF SOON

A number of Uncle Sans SOL
diers who are doing special guard
duty in Nenana have reason TO be-
lieve that they will be relieved a.
an early date and given their dis
charge from the army, which is
very much desired by them, as they
enlisted for the duration of the war
only. They entered the service in
the States in the fall of 1917 and
were assigned to duty at Fort Glib
bon, from which place they were
later transferred to Nenana.
Their reason for believing that
they are soon to be released is the
fact that they have been listed as
casuals, indicated on checks recent
~ received by them. This casual
list includes Claude Bruder, Flurey
L. Morris, R. Russell, John NJ. Nc
Intosh, and Roby C. Osborne. The
other members of the guard, Ser
geant Dayton, Corporal Dooley)
Calvin, Frank Lopsides, and Dewey

SOURDOUGH HORSE
GETS RACE MONEY

According to arrivals from the
Tolovana district, the town OF
Brooks was the scene of an unusu-
ally lively Fourth of July celebra-
ton, with very substantial prizes
and a lot of money circulating in
the form of wagers on the various
events.
The big event of the celebration
was a horse race, with the two
sourdough horses, Montana and To.
klat, and two new horses entered,
with considerable money bet on the
outcome. The race was won by
Montana, owned by George Wheel
er, the Tolovana mining man.
A new horse, said to have been
brought up from Ruby for kill
ing, was heavily backed by his
owners and others familiar with the
circumstances, but there was no
lack of money to back the buck
skin. In fact, one man came for
ward with $500 just as the race
was started, eager to bet on Mon
tana, but the hackers of the "dark''
horse refused to cover it. Several
thousand dollars changed hands on
the race.
Both Montana and Toklat have
been running in Fourth of July
races in Interior Alaska for many
years, and have won considerable
money for their various owners
