Good Rule Of Safety.

A good rule of safety is to think OF
others as you move about. Persons
who do this will not stop suddenly in
the middle of the sidewalk to pick up
pin or some other trife. The fellow
behind you is likely to walk into you
and both may be injured. They will
not start across a street without look
ing first to see If the way is clear.

GAME SLAUGHTER ENORMOUS, SAYS

 tatemcnt credited to Delegate-elect Dan A. Sutherland by the New York Tribune in it's description of
 beech made by MT. Sutherla at a luncheon given him by game conservation and protective societies New York on January 21, last. Mr. Sutherland urged that scores of additional game wardens be added o the present force to curb law breakers in the Territory.
 The Tribune's account of the luncheon follows:
 The urgent need for increased 'unds with which to enforce the cw if the big game of Alaska is o be saved from extinction was discussed yesterday at a luncheon E the Bankers Club given in honor
 f Daniel A. Sutherland, Delegate 10 Congress from Alaska
 Representatives of several game conservation and protective organi- 'rtions attended the luncheon and pledged themselves to campaign for immediate action by Congress on leg iclation advocated by MT. Suther- land. The Delegate from Alaska spoke of the constant inroads be- ing made on the wild life of his Territory and explained this was ton laws. Rather, he said, it was Cue to a failure to enforce such regulations.
 Only a Few Wardens.
 In all Alaska, it was pointed out by the speaker, there are only about ] dozen game wardens, and it is inn possible for them to patrol such a vast territory with any effect. Game is being slaughtered in great num- bers and offenders have become so confident they will go unpunished that they practice their illegal kill ing openly.
 Mining and canning interests, it was declared, are most fragrant of- lenders. Their employees in some instances number thousands and are fed on slaughtered game. They even have been known. it was said, to carry meat out of the Territory when they leave at the end of their work iIg season.
 Scores of additional game war Gens will be requpired to hold these laWbreakers in check, and Congress will be asked early in it's sesrion to take the necessary steps in that direction. The territory now holds all of the big game to be found in United States territory.
 Support Is Pledged.
 Among those who pledged them selves to support the conservation were:
 William N. Beach and Belmore Browne, Camp Fire Club of Amer ica; Henry E. Armstrong, New York Times; William Edward Coffin, Camp Fire Club; w.

SONG WEEK FOR SCHOOLS TO BE HELD IN ALASKA
Commissioner He derson Urges Observance-"C Com
 munity Sing" Is Suggested.

Suggestions to Superintendents, Principals and Teachers in Alaska schools for observance of National Song Week, February 20-26, have been made by Commissioner of Edu cation l.. D. Henderson in a com munication recently mailed out from the Commissioners office in this city. Mr. Henderson suggests that q community sing" be made a fea ture of the observance.
 The Commissioner stated:
 At least week prior to the re- read an announcement on page so of the February issue of Normal Instructor and Prirary Plans to the effect that the National Week of Song will soon be upon us. Dur ing the past two years, this week has been observed quite generally i'll the schools of Alaska. It is our desire to make it an annual occur renee. The period is easy to re- member in that it always comes dnrinp the week in which Wash ingttn's birthday occurs. If you have not already begun preparations for the observance of this week in YCur school and community, will vOu not do so at once upon receipt of this letter to the end that the week may be real Week of Song in Alaska.
 "The announcement referred to contains a list of suggestive potriotic, college, folk and senti- mental songs suitable for the week as well as a list of hymns and carols. The principal thing is to se- lect songs which are familiar. The "vcragc adult enjoys the old airs, not only because they take him back to childhood but also because they contain real worth. Tho child enjoys them for the reason that they are songs which make an ap- pccl to something which is innate in every individual.
 "The following suggestions re garding the observance of the week raay be helpful.
 q. Secure the cooperation of ministers and arrange for Q special song service at least a half hour in length in connection with the Sun Gqy evening church services on February 20.
 "2. Ask Sunday School Superin tendents to make the morning Sun in NNt iHh more than usual interest Is given to the song service.
 8. Stress daily singing in all grades of the school during theI week and cause the pupils to feel that 22,000,000 other school child ren throughout the length and breadth of the United States are joining with them in this song fest
 A. Secure the cooperation of newspapers. Prepare or cause to be | daily articles setting forth the history of some of our most familiar songs and present the same for publication.
 5. Arrange for community sing to be held on some night dur ing the week. preferably near it's close. A high school glee club orI chorus will be of assist ance to the chorus leader. Variety may be introduced by arranging forl a few special numbers by soloists quartettes, etc. This community sing should be the big event of the week. Organize for it. Get the community behind it.
 6. Secure the active co-opera ton and assistance of all music lovers in the community The func- tion of the school is to provide the opportunity The event is for the school and the whole com
