preparing himself now, will be the
one who will be able to take advan-
tage and climb when openings come
his way. A person must be like q
wedge, insert himself in the smallest
opening and make place for him
self. If one is prepared and ready
to convert himself into wedge, if
necessary, and has driving ability,
he will leave his mark.
Everyone should study; prepare
himself for the future careers, and
grasp the opportunity when it comes
your way. If you are not ready for
your chance when it comes, and it is
likely to come any time, some one
else will be ready and you will regret
your folly the rest of your life.-R.

of telling voters why they should
send him to Congress.
II am practical farmer" he said,
boastfully, at one meeting. "I can
plow, reap, milk cows, shoe a horse
in fact, l should like you to tell
me one thing about the farm I can
not do"
Then, in the impressive silence,
voice asked from the back of the
hall:

was stipulated that the railroad or ganization would exercise jurisdic- ton over the town for a period of five years, meeting the cost of fire protection, sanitation and general maintenance by means of assess ments levied against real property sold to individuals. The five year period ended on August 31 and the town, in consequence, is without a manager, having the status mere ly of an unincorporated community
 Even the council, elected under the provisions of a special dispensation, granted by the territorial legislature has ceased to exist through expira- tion of the terms of the members and failure to elect Q new council. Such a council, in any case, would not meet the present requirements, for the reason that it has not the authority to legislate to meet con- ditions as the now exist.

DECIDE ON PLANS
 FOR CONTINUING SERVICE

ganization until such time as the town can incorporate, was discussed at length and disposed of in a very satisfactory manner at the public meeting held at Union hall last night. The funds necessary to cover the cost of maintaining the depart ment will be raised by popular sub scription, more that half of the amount needed having been pledged at the meeting.
 i The object of the meeting was ex- plained by Mayor Joe O'Connor. who presided as chairman, with R. c. Southworth acting as secretary. The mayor called attention to the fact that the Alaskan Engineering Com mission had ceased to function as the towns guardian on September and that, in consequence, there remained no town organization, no fire chief and no one to exercise authority over municipal affairs It was also pointed out that the situa- ton demanded immediate action for the reason that insurance policies very likely would be cancelled in case of failure on the part of the town to continue to provide ade- quate protection. It was estimated that at least S25O monthly would be required to keep the department on an efficient basis pending the disposal of the incorporation ques- ton, which will come up for hear ing before Judge Bunnen, in Fair banks on September 12, at which time il will be determined whether or or not the question will be left to the people to finally decide at public election.
 Mayor O'Connor and NJ, J. Cooney volunteered to solicit sub scriptions within the territory cov- cred by A street, after which the list will be takne in hand by J.H. Scott, with view to covering the residential district thoroughly for. as MT. Scott pointed out, it is the duty of everyone to contribute something toward the maintenance of the fire department,
 Mir. Scott announced during the meeting, on behalf of the school board, that no taxes would be levied this year for school purposes, and he advanced that as an argument why property owners should contribute liberally to the fire department fund.
 MT. Scott also announced that, in a conversation with C. s. Crider, travelling auditor of the American Express Company, he had been in- formed by that official that the ex- press company is preparing to inter est tourists in Interior Alaska. the plan being to bring the sight-seers in by way of the Government rail- road and take them back to the coast by way of the Richardson highway. MT. Scott called attention to this plan merely to emphasize the importance of keeping the town in good order.
 Mir. Donaldson, manager of the Healy River Coal Corporation, an- nounced that the handling of the Commission power and telephone
 
 plants by his organization, under the terms of the contract entered into with the Commission at the beginning of the month of August, had worked out very satisfactorily, and he expressed the belief that the present month would result in even a better showing The increase in the charge for electric current, on pr with the Fairbanks rate, had left the company with only a small deficit which, it is believed, will be taken care of easily by increased by7SippSS 5uriDy &ba TraSop+ rn0r+b

lack of thrift, what are some of the causes? The American temperament, for one thing, begotten of the easy way in which money is made. Our nation is rela- lively young. Any one may make money, thu amount depending upon application and opportunity. Nine people out of ten how ever, work in order to acquire money to spend, for pleasure.
 When look into the situation as it is some startling facts confront us. The sav- inSs banks report approximately 100000 accounts. If there are a million persons possessing two separate deposits, our con ciusiOn is that not more than 10 per cent. e the American people are thoughtful with their money.
 The number of persons in 1918 who filed a tax return of income of S1.OOO over was 4,425,114. The United States Postal Savings System had 5OS,5OS depositors on June 30. 1920. Try we may, however, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that many as 4O0OO,OOO Americans are living from hand to mouth.
 No question of wages is involved, as all know. Indeed when we stop fer q moment and look at the trend of wages the last 200 years, in countries like France, and consider what she has done, it is clear that our sister republic can teach us an impressive lesson in thrift. The pay of laborers in 57CO was 40 cents a day. It rose to 5S cents a day in 1900. In 1850 it was 72 cents, and i1 did not reach $1.60 a day until t914. No matter if they earned little or much, they put away something against the proverbial rainy day. Why wonder, at the close of the Franco Prussian war. that they were able to find a billion dollars. as indemnity extorted from them by the Germans. More French people possess savings and bonds than any other nationality. The practice of thrift is com mon to other nationalities of Europe.
 Granting that the foreign born manage to save money and that neither extravaganza nor the lack of convenient facilities deters them from getting ahead what are some of the reasons why the Americans, as Q rule. are less thrifty? The advantages cf saving are so obvious. Many employers will not

Weight of a Crowd
INTERESTING experiments were

T INTERESTING experfnents were made
 some time ago at Harvard University which seem to demonstrate that engi- neers usually underestimate the maximum loading caused by dense crowds on bridges, floors and platforms. Forty men averaging 163 pounds in weight placed in a box six feet square caused an average pressure Of 1s1 pounds to the square foot on the floor
 An engineer has estimated the weight per square foot Of the densest crowds on the New York elevated railways at only 45 pounds, but since the Harvard experiments the opinion has been expressed that the maximum loading on the elevated cars and platforms may be nearer 1S1 than 45 pounds. This applies to other close packed crowds.

French Offer Lively Comment on Days Topics

bring about reforms, if reforms are needed, as any ordinary mortal who has no scien- tifiC mind to aid him. Dr. Milan, beginning his review of the situation, says:
 Before the beginning of the war, feminine fashion decreed the establishment of a hiatus in the waist of the dress which took the form of an isosceles triangle with the base at the neck. This had base of fifteen centimetres and an altitude Of twenty-five, and thereby exposed to the light of the interested observer 167.50- square centimetres of surface which had hitherto been preserved from any such contingency"
 Because of this "isosceles triangle Dr. Milan reports that French dermatologists were called upon to treat "a Brocq derma- tits, mediothorac in anatonic location. which varied III intensity from faint rose pink to a hue so deep that neither rice pow der nor cosmetics had any remedial effect
 The wars influence on wonan'S dress was twofold, according to Dr. Milan. Those of the fair sex who became nurses abandoned the isosceles triangle, but he thinks this was because of the lynx eyed chief nurses who feared the effect of such exposures not upon the women but upon the war weary poilu. But the doctor pessinistically declares that the bodice of the nurse crept up ito impinge upon the syrnphysis menti,' in the zone of the interior, far from the fight ing front, there was a rapid increase in the length of the legs of the triangle.
 With the increase of the triangle, the question passed from a computation of the square surface and the figures Of half the base by the altitude to one involving the principles of spherical geometry.
 Owing to the increasing -scantiness Of the

simple, universal scheme. available for ali Far from there being great money trust, controlled by supermen; there is not even a coordinated plan. say this with entire respect for certain of our legislators, but tho P logic of the situation admits Of other conclusion. If we do save money nowadays 1t is aon a happy-go-luclzy basis
 This is not to deny, the whole, that a vast volume of wealth is in process of evo- lution in various ways Millions Of homes are being paid for through the agency Uf building and loan associations or direct mortgage loans. Perhaps as many as 40 per cent. of the people are effecting, through life insurance, some provision for their old age or the protection of their families. These and other plans of similar nature are tre- mendously significant, yet they by means take the place of universal thrift and sav- ing.
 If 1t comes as a shock that the savings banks do not, MT. Crowther has pointed out, help any one save, it is of the utmost significance to know that they have awak- ened to the facts. They begin to see their possibilities, and are in the process of so- cialization. Not all of them, to be sure for strangely enough scores of savings bank managers throughout the country are not awake to their opportunities A queer sit uation when bankers need conversion for the intelligent promotion of thrift
 On the 27th and 18th of April represen- tatives of the 619 mutual savings banks in the United States met in a second national conference, in Philadelphia There were inn portant discussions on the routine of sav- ings bank operation, investments and allied topics, but the most striking feature was an exposition held in connection with the conference.
 Representative savings banks, situated in various States, for the first time exhibited the ingenious devices which they are using to facilitate the efficient and safe operation of their respective institutions.
 One of the most vital displays was that of the Savings Banks Association of the State of New York. Under the leadership of Harrison H. Wheaton, the 142 mutual say
