 The Senate Committee Appropriations does well in insisting increasing the House allowance of only $2,000000 for continuing the construction Of the Alaskan railway to $2o0Q 000 even in these hard times It is development that will more than itself, and since the Government is fnancinG it anyhow il should be pushed speedily. The com mittee also approprates $1G0000 to combat the in fuenza epidemic, and S25,0o0 for development ot the herring fisheries These three items signfi- in that they pick out the chief pressing neces transportation, better public aid in sanitation and social welfare, and announcement of the fish cries. Given transportation, the mining and allied industries can more than take care of themselves
 Alaska has been somewhat neglected of late, in eVtably during the war, when other matters were more urgent, but tEe present Congress is in position to resume the interrupted improvements. Now however, the prime need of this vast Territory (ove 590000 square mes) is transportation; railroads to supplement it's magnificent river routes, to open uI not only it's gold fields, but it's copper coal and other mineral wealth, the total Of which is enormous, be yond computation. Even under the vagueness gen eral knowledge there is need to argue about Al askan mineral riches
 Less known the average citizen but possibly of even greater importance, is the food supply that may be drawn from Alaska, especially from the fish cries. few years ago the Alaskan shipments of salmon and other fish amounted to over 30 per cent of total fisheries today they doubtless more and they can be almost unimitedy increased Nor is Mir Stefanssons advice to of the Arctic coun- tries to raise meat supply at all fantastic. Very
 little intelligent encouragement has been given to producing enterprises. More should be done, in all possible lines.

In olden days men expected a Moral when you told a story. But nowadays they expect an Immoral when you tell a story.
 When you make a mistake you realize that anyone is liable to make a mistake. But when your wife makes a mistake you realize that there is absolutely no excuse for it.
 Judging from the waists they are wearing, some girls imagine that you can't see through mosquito netting unless you punch holes in it.
 A grass widow can act so innocent that she will want to take chape- rome along when she starts on her honeymoon with her fourth husband
 A few weeks absence will make 8 husband homesick. And fcw days It home will make him sick of home
 You may imagine that your wife isn't jealous of you But just pour some perfume on your coat before you start home, and see what hap. rens when you get home.
 If your wife came home to you at 3 am, with the same excuse you bring home to her at am, you would want q divorce. And yet you get mad because she won't accept your excuse.
