M'BRIDE URGES ALASKA BOARD
 TO CURE ILLS

If Harding and Coolidge are victori- ous in the November elections, restor- ing the Republican party to power, of ficial Washington will be asked by J. c. Mcbride, national committeeman for Alaska, to authorize the appoint ment of a governing board of five Alaskans, with full power to act on Alaskan matters.
 This was made known in an inter- view recently given by MT. Mcbride.
 The board would consist of one member from each of the four judicial divisions of the territory, to be ap- pointed by the president, with the gov ernor serving as chairman. Each member would be a bona fide resident of his division, under MT. McBride's plan. Sittings of the board would be arranged in the various cities of the territory.
 While he declared that he had not drawn up any detailed plan, MT. Nc Bride said that he would favor a sal ary of $10,0O0 annually, with expenses, for each member. Congress would also be asked to raise the salary of the governor from $7,500 year to an amount corresponding with the pay other board members would receive.
 A bill has been introduced in con- gress providing a similar board, ard it's duplicate has been filed in the sen ate. Under the provisions of this bill three members would constitute the boards personnel This number is in- sufficient, Mr. Mcbride said.
 The board would be given wide power to deal with existing problems in the north, under MT. McBride's plan. Where much red tape is now encoun- tered in doing business with the gov ernment, because of interlOcking bu- reaus, short cuts to the situation could be made by the board, MT. Mcbride declared.
 Mr. Mcbride said that as far as he was concerned, the manner of naming | the commissioners could be decided by the people of Alaska, if presidential appointment of the members was not desired by the people.
 So far no one has asked for "a job, MT. Mcbride said, adding that no no tice would be taken of applications by job hunters until after the result ot the November election is known.

WAYWARDNESS BEING HANDLED
 IN NEW MANNER

DENVER, Colo, July 16 (by Asso- ciated Press).-A juvenile laboratory is new addition to the machinery of the courts of Denver through which Wayward boys and girls pass before Judge Ben B. Lindsey. Upon the man. ner in which the boy or girl passes the mental and physical tests depends the ultimate disposal of his or her case.
 Judge Lindsey asserts that a way ward girl has three ages. He explains 1t in this manner: A girl may be 13 years old, have the physical develop ment of a girl of IS and the mental development of child of 10 years.
 'All this, I have found, has a great deal to do with the way of handling cases of delinquent girls" the judge declared. For example, take the case of 16-year-old girl who has run away and married a mature man. What to do with her depends largely on her three ages. Chronologically the girl may not be old enough to get married, but she has been married and the question to be determined is whether it is best to send her to reformatory merely because she eloped, or permit her to remain with her husband.
 If she is biologically three or four years older than 16 Chat is possesses the physical development of a young woman of 19) and if her mental de- velopment is that of a normal girl of 16 or older and if she loves the man she married, why it seems that for her sake she should not be punished for marrying"
 The judge says that whenever girl comes before his court, the first pro- cedure is to obtain her three ages, through methods developed by medical men and psychologists. He declared he intends to make the juvenile labora tory available to the mothers of Den yer so they can obtain the three ages of their children and use this informa toin in providing against indiscretions and possible criminality.
 An appropriation has been granted for the carrying out of the proposed laboratory and the judge is seeking tt obtain the services of an expert psy chologist to take charge of the work
 The judge describes in this fashion 1 how the department already has aided one mother:
 "A mother comes to me the other 1 day and complained that she had daughter of 19 who gave her no trou ble and a daughter of 15 who desired social privileges that no mother could give a girl of her age. told her that | the 15-year-old daughter was 19 blolog ically and had all the impulses and emotions of the older girl without any |
 of the good judgment that comes with later years.
 "The younger girl is the one who obeying nature impulses without ma ture judgment, gets into trouble on automobile parties and at dances.
 We have been used to classifying girls as good and bad. Sometimes the difference is merely that one who came into mature life when she was possessed of good judgment is the good girl and the other came into mature development when she is young and foolish is the bad girl

Plane Lands on Street.

Thousands of spectators lined the
curbs of business thoroughfare IN
Oakland, Cal, some weeks ago as a
result of the announcement that an
airplane was to land and take Off from
the street. On schedule time the
plane appeared overhead, glided down
between the walls Of the man-made
canyon and touched the pavement.
Skidding here on the slippery asphalt,
the plane grazed lamp-post, swerved
to the curb and damaged its tail skid.
The accident was trivial, but served
as a warning to the authorities, who
promptly forbade the Jtake-off. .--Popu-

INCREASE IN VALUE k.
noa
Of FARM LANDS

When farm pillow lands increase In
value per acre by cne-iifth in one year
and by one-half in four years, some
thing has occurred that may be called
a phenomenon. These increases In
value are indicated by the results of
Investigations by the bureau of crop
estimates. In March. 1916, plow lands
in the United Sktes had the average
value of $3.50; in the same month In
1917 the average was S6217; in 1918
1t was S6S,3S; in 1919, S7431 and nt
the same time of the year in 1920,
S90.01, building values in all years not
being included In the average.
The average value of 1920 Is "a per
cen: above tilat of 1916. 10 per cent
ABOVE 1917, 80 per cent above 1918.
and u per cent above 1919 Hence 1t
appears that by far the greatest rate
OF yearly increase was from 1919 TO
1920. TO the extent that plow-land
values are related to crop prices, this
lag in the advance of land values be-
hind the advance in crop prices Is ac-
cording to rule.
Values approximately doubled In the
South in four years, and that is a part
Of the country where plow lands have
low values. They are overtaking the
higher values of other states. The
least rates of advance In values are
found in the New England and Middle
Atlantic states. In the corn belt.
where values are highest, the upward
movement is strong. i

SENATOR FALLS REPORT.

Senator Fall'S report on MeXi-
90. following what hapnened to
Carranza, is Illuminating. 1t is
directed against the constitution
adopted under Carranza S leader
ship in 1917. The Senator de-
mands that before any govern
ment in Mexico is recognized by
the United States the portions of
Carranza's constitution objected
to by American oil and mineral
corporations shall be revised,
and the revision Incorporated in
a treaty of recognition. Other
wise the United States is to un-
dertake the invasion and polic-
ing of Mexico until order is re-
stored. He would stipulate also
that no matter what restrictions
may be applied to foreigners in
Mexico they shall not be apple
able to Americans, and he espe-
CHILLY desires the elimination of
the power given to the Mexican
government to deport undesir-
able residents.
The Senator has always been
lnslstent on Intervention, and
some such report was expected
when his committee set out to in
vestigate the Mexican problem
while Carranza was vet alive.
CGrranza was q keen disappoint-
ment to manv interests which had
hoped that he would prove tract
able, That experience has pre-
vented any premature endorse
ment of de la Huerta and Obre-
goD, after the initial rejoicing
over the success of their revolt
against Carranza was over. SEN.
ator Falls proposal to tie up the
next Mexican government by
treaty is natural. enough in the
circumstances. OF course the
treaty might be treated by the
new Mexican ruler as mere
scrap of paper, but the Senator
has forestalled that with the pro-
vision that the United States take

THE PRoDlGAL RETURNS.

MILWAUKEE. March 27.-A long lost Buick is at last coming back home after being shunted back and forth between crooks. courts and claimants.
 The Buick branch here reported it's theft in September, 1916. C. H. Luce. of Elyria, O., bought it soon after and it was stolen from him in Cleveland last April. The police found it and arrested Walter O'Rourke, charged with robbing the American Express company Wal ter's brother. Harry, claimed $350 for repairs made on the car, but the express company got the money on counter-claim.
 Then came the Buick people with replevin suit for the car, but Luce also put in claim for it. Finally the car was ordered back to the Mil waukee branch, and Luce found it didn't pay to buy a car from ques- tionable sellers.
Bisbee daily review., 1920-03-28

second Divisions of the American ar my pushed forward. Americans found the Buick in a storage park, shatter- ed and wrecked. They hauled it back, crippled as it was, to a point of safety.
 Before leaving the ambulance for re-capture by the advancing Ameri- cans, the Germans removed the tires and in other ways made the car use- less for service.
 The car shows considerable evi- dence of service under fire, the armor in front of the driving compartment and the body and sides bearing the marks of shrapnel and machine gun bullets.
 The body alone weighed more than the chassis was originally designed to carry. And, yet, 1t had accommoda- tions for 12 "sitting cases" or five "stretcher cases," with room for two or three additional ment on the drivers seat.
 The car has been awarded the Croix d6 Guerre with three stars. Each time the unit to which the car was attached was cited for meritor- ious service a star was added.
 While hte Buick car was operated as much as possible during the day, it was at night it saw it's hardest driving. Without he usual lights to brighten the road ahead, the car sped the wounded to relief and raced back for other men on their way to the clearing stations.
 Shell holes, damaged roads and oth- CT Instructions were encountered. No ear could withstand the terrific strain unless it was fundamentally right nd mechanically sound. There was no time for motor, carburetor or ig-
