PRIEST AYERS IRISH WORKING
 AT WRONG END

DUNDALK, Ireland, Oct. IS (by Associated Press. )-Father Nicholas Lawless, noted Louth priest, told the promoters of a meeting recently held in Dundalk in aid of expelled Belfast workers that they were "be- ginning at the wrong end"
 "The way to save our people in the north is to end at once the crimes that are disgracing Catholic Ireland both north and south," he adds
 Ut is those crimes that enraged and no wonder-the workers of Belfast who have said they will let Catholic workers return to work when the shooting of men of the royal Irish constabulary and others stops It is all very well to de- nounce 'reprisals.' but who will say that reprisals are as wicked as the crimes that provoke them?
 "Instead of boycotting Belfast. let us all join in boycOtting murderers and burnings. There is no other way to cure the ills of the north and south"

 FOR PHONE OPERATORS

HONOLULU, Oct.

 The list of tongues representing the cosmopolitan conversations of this island includes eleven separate national languages, 49 Japanese dia- lects, seven Chinese dialects-and English
 Evidence of a Babel of tongues in Honolulu was forthcoming as an excuse on the part of the telephone officials for their inability to check the number of business calls separ- ate from social calls in the county.
 No decision has been rendered yet on the company's application to raise it's rates.

 R. c. Wood, no matter what posi- tion he has held in the life of this camp and it's busines saffairs, has never been able to be considered here otherwise than "Dick" Wood, and in the North they don't call a man by his first name or nickname unless they like him. He is a part it's active and material development and after putting around in Gods Country" for months and having a good general idea of places and peo- pie and things he says that there is no spot on earth which appeals so strongly to him as an abiding place as does Fairbanks.

LIVELY PARCELS POST
 PACKAGE FOR FAIRBANKS

There's no need to bother about Son Guis, son of Charley Guis, for he will get by.
 He was back in Rochester, N Y.. and a long way from Daddy, so they put a tag on him and a parcels post brand and started him for Fair banks. says the News-Miner. Being the swell kid he is. he attracted at tention all along the way, and when Mrs. Moseley saw him in Seattle she just took charge of him, as she was coming to Fairbanks. And they all arrived here, happy and contented
 For several days the crowd and their boat was stuck on a bar near Tolovana. which didn't make any hit with the boy. He was on his way and wanted to get somewhere. and the inactivity palled upon him. One morning he came on deck and took look around. It was showing, and gloomy, and they were still in the same place they had been sticking for several days. So he went up to Claude Kelly and said:
 Gee. MT Kelly--when are we GOING somewhere?'
 As he was simply voicing the sen timent of all the grownups on the boat, his question made hit.

DEPUTY |. 5, MARSHAL
 BUYS OWN BEAR SKIN
 STOLEN IN FRAME-U UP

While the court party was resting along the Yukon, which was most of the time they were away, ac- cordng to the News-Miner, they had nothing else to do but "job" some body, and one night they picked on Joe Miller, chiei deputy United States marshal, who wouldn's job any ybody.
 Joe had taken occasion of the trip to pick up collection of bear skins, ivory and such stuff which is hard to get here and outside. He had his stateroom filled with fine cub bear skins and the whole front of the barge ahead covered with green bearskins nailed there to dry. One night the pilot of the boat and the courters started out to job Joe, and they did it.
 While Claude Kelly kept Joe talk slipped into JOe's stateroom and stole valuable bear skin. Then he framed" and rehearSed an Indian deckhand to sell the skin to Joe and came up to Joe told him that there was an Indian on the boat who Ahad a bearskin for sale. Joe went below where the Indian was and was overjoyed to find a skin that was a perfect match for the one he had" in his stateroom, so he bought it and took it up to the stateroom to cache it with the others. Arriving there he looked for the skin that the one he had just bought would } match, of course it wasn't there.
 Then came out of that stateroom one mad United States marshal. He dived for that Indian who had stol- en the bearskin, and then sold it back to the owner, and it took the whole working force of the boat to explain that it was Q joke and save the Indians life.

KENTUCKY MAKES
PROGRESS IN CON.
troll Of RED PLAGUE
Ratings Of Kentucky Towns In Efforts
To Control Venereal Disease
Are Announced BY the
Government.

Louisville with q score of 4S7 leads
the towns In the state in the number
and efficiency Of the measures taken
to control venereal diseases. Lexing-
ton with a score Of 377 is second
while Newport 1873, Ashland III, Pa
ducah 11S, Owensboro ia and Coving-
ton 81. are next in order. Charleston
made 551 points, Wheeling S4S, Rich
mond $40, Baltimore Ala, Chattanooga
5S7, Memphis SIS and Oklahoma City
706.
These ratings are disclosed in re-
cent survey made by the U. S. Public
Health Service of the 444 largest cit
les of the country. The scores are
based upon possible 1000 points. The
data obtained we're in answer to ap-
proximately 300 questions regarding,
medical, legal, educational and gen.
eral cooperative measures in force in
these communities on February /,
1920.
Authorities issuing the report call
attention to the fact that the grades by
no means indicate the amount of
venereal disease existing in these va
rious cities. Some cities may be grad
ed high because they have had so
much venereal disease and prostitu-
ton that 1t has been necessary to in
augurate vigorous measure for COM
batting them, while some small cities
may be graded low because 1t has
seemed unnecessary to them to estab-
lish clinics and adopt the other meas
ures for which high grades are award
ed.
Portland, Oregon, with grade of
795 made the best showing. Six other
cities grading over 700 are Salt Lake
City, Grand Rapids, Des Moines, Ia
coma, San Francisco and Spokane. OF
the ten cities classed as having 500, 900
or more inhabitants, Detrot leads
with score OF 694; Los Angeles is
second with $40 and New York third
