Rules for Jay Walkers

The Boston Street Commission is
apparently beaten in the matter of
controlling those persons who nave
come to be known as LAY walkers. s.
They have decided that no fixed rules
can be laid down for pedestrians and
that Jay walking" cannot be pen

PRESIDENT MAY
 CRUISE NORTH
 NEAR FUTURE;

President Wilson may be the first chief executive of the nation to visit Alaska. Rumor has reached Seattle that President Wilson intends to take the Mayflower via the Panama canal, Pacific coast ports and on cruise in Alaska inside waters. It is said President Wilson wants to see sev- eral important coast terminals in Alaska as we'll as seek some place where he can be assured of complete rest as we'll as be in American terr- itory.
 Alaska has never been visited by president of the United States. Should the tip prove correct and the presi- dents yacht cruise Alaska waters, it would prove great treat for the resi- dents of the North, who would flock to the different ports for a first hand view of the chief executive. In par ticular would the Alaska natives stand up and take notice. It is doubtful if single native could be prevailed upon to work on his job if the pres ident was within hundred miles. They would man their boats and go to see the president The Mayflower could make the cruise from the Cali fornia coast to Alaska and return in about two weeks Weather condi- tions are now ideal and with the powerful wireless equipment the pres ident could be in constant communica- tion with affairs of state.
