The Department of Markets has
been a perpetual storm centre since
the beginning Of the Hylan adminis-
tration.
For it's first Commissioner the Mayor
selected the Rev. Jonathan c. Day,

was removed summarily in December,
1919, at the climax of an unsavory
scandal involving charges and counter
charges OF profiteering in the handling
Of food products. In the course OF that
controversy accusations had been ma e
against one another by Day and his

The Alaska government railroad hauled 13,000 revenue passengers dur ing the past six months a distance of 767 ,000 passenger miles and 91S,- 900 deadhead passenger miles for strictly railroad business and ap- proximately ton of freight for each paid passenger carried or more than 13,000 tons. The road is now operat- ing 466 miles of track, of which eigh- ty-six miles is on the northern oper- ating division and narrow gauge, with but seventy-two miles of track to be laid before steel joins. Steel is now to Hurrican gulch and 90 per cent of the material for constructing the big steel structure is now on the ground ready for the engineers. This epitomized a very healthy state of affairs as existing on the road, and according to schedule the public will be riding through from Seward to Fairbanks by the end of the present year. When asked by the Anchorage Times for a statement as to condi- tions on the road and summary of traffic. Colonel Mears said:
 In response to your request for a statement of the work on the Alas ka railroad at the present time, I take pleasure in giving you the following information on the subject
 There is a great deal more traffic over the Alaska railroad at the pres- ent time than ever before in the history of the project, and the rail- raid is filling a useful purpose, serv- ing the transportation needs of this part of the territory to a larger ex- tent than is generally realized. There are now 466 miles of railroad under operation, S6 miles of which-north of the Panama river-is narrow gauge.
 I say that the railroad is serving the public because during the past six months we have carried nearly 13000 revenue passengers 767,000 passenger miles, to say nothing of the 91S,000 deadhead passenger miles for strictly railroad business. We have also carried over 13,000 tons of commercial revenue freight a total distance of nearly million ton miles in the same period of time. We have just recently moved large shipment of commercial freight for

 have been told that Secretary Fall our new secretary of the interior, already knows good deal about Alaska, which was one of the mat ters coming to his attention while in the senate, and in which he has taken particular interest. While of course his first concern is to complete the railroad to the interior, believe he is already considering some means to develop the adjacent country from broader standpoint.

LOUIS BENNISON IN
 FAST WESTERN DRAMA
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Remember "The Misfit Earl?" Here comes the same smiling Louis Ben nison, in his latest and fastest west ern drama, "The Road Called Straight" Ormi Hawley is his lead ing lady, heading a competent cast, and the action of the play, starting on western ranch, jumps swiftly to an eastern metropolis, and ends, after a spectacular race on skis and ice boat, in grand, smashing fight at a Green mountain hunting lodge. There are no pauses for reverie during the action either, for it's fast, furious and thrilling.
 AS an added attraction tonight, the Empress is showing another of those 60-mile-a-minute laugh get ters, for which Mack Sennett, the comedy king is responsible Back to the Kitchen" is regular Sennett masterpiece. Nuff said. The trou- bles the hired girl (played by Louise Fazenda) does have. to be sure, with her three sweethearts, the ice man, the gas inspector and the po- liceman. Then there's Billy Arm strong, master of the house. wildly jealous of his pretty wife, Myrtle Lind Has he reason? You'd think so if you saw the wicked burglar hiding in wifies bedroom
 It's a riot of fun, and the whole program, drama and comedy is be- ing shown tonight only.

FORGED LABOR FOR BULGARIA

4 Bulgarian law provides that young people of both sexes must submit to a period of compulsory labor that is fixed at one year in the case of young men and six months in the case of young women. The scheme is quite similar to compulsory military serv- ice On joining the colors," so to speak, each recruit receives course of instruction in some trade, after which he or she is employed for the remainder of the period either on public works or in industry or agriculture. The law also provides for sort of general mo- bilization of labor in case of public calamity, great disasters creating ur- ahnt need" etc, and liability to re- spond to such mobilization covers all Bulgarians between the ages of 20 and 50.
 While the young men are gathered into barracks during their period ot active service" the young women con- tinue to live at home, going each day to workshop designated.
 The objects of the law, as set forth in a recent address by the Bulgarian premier, NJ. StambolislSy, are:
 To hasten the economic reconstruc- ton of the country by speeding up production through compulsory labor
 To give the Bulgarian youth mod ern physical and mental education. To cultivate a loving interest in the common good of the country. and to develop in the Bulgarian people spirit of cooperation and mutual help. To create new sources of state in- 1 icome.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MUSIC usHERs IN CHRISTMAS

Christmas used to be celebrated in Rome by the arrival of Calabrian min strels with their pipes ten days before Christmas. In every street of the his toric city they would play their wild, plaintive music before the shrines ot the Madonna. These minstrels or "pif- ferari," as they were called, became rare after the latter part of the nine teenth century. In Sicily men came down from the mountains nine days before Christmas to sing a 'novenna" to S plaintive melody accompanied by violin and cello.
 The music of chiming bells features Christmas the world over. Tn the Phil ippines the dawn of Christmas is ush- cred in by ringing of bells of scores of church towers. calling the people to service. In the dark they flock to the churches to the familiar notes of the "Adeste Fideles."
 The music-lOving world agrees with the stranger in Brasebridge hall 'I do not know a grander effect of music on the moral feelings than to hear the full choir and the pealing organ perOfrming Christmas anthe min a cathedral and filling every part of the vast pile with triumphant harmony. ny."-Detroit News.

WILSON
By Edmuna Vance Cooke

9y EoWun9 vance NooRe First of the men of state, Wrestler with furious fate, Heir to our love and hate, What need to call him great? What need to gid his name? What need to cry acclaim? Long praise and shorter blams Leave to his future fame. Not now may any man Measure his sweep and span. We are too close to scan All of the patterned plan. But when the war-curse came, His words of living flame Gave to our country's claim Its meaning and it's name. All through the noisome night. All through the shrieking fright, He kept mans spirit white; He held aloft The Light. And when the world was peaced, Shall we not say, at least, He was the votive priest Whose face held toward the East And when Times tale is spun; WheI. the long ages run
 With wars forever done, Few names shall be, or none More glorious in the sun,

BELL FAMILY WILL ENTER SECOND WEEK
 AT RAMONA THEATER

The Bell Family today enters the second week of it's engagement at the Ramona, offering perhaps a. stronger bin than the initial presentation, which was voted one of the best vaudeville entertainments this city has yet known
 The first act on the program to start today Is a Roman ring act in which three of the Bell brothers appear 10 excellent advantage. oscar Bell who carries the comedy in this act, has been credited with being the most fin ished imitator of Charlie Chaplin in vaudeville. and 1t is in this role that he will appear.
 The xylaphone speciality will give way to the third act, which will fea- ture the ballet royale. the entire com pany appearing ensemble In a big pam tomime dancing number.
 Then there will be offered the re- nowned Broken Mirror" sketch. It is a distinct novelty in vaudeville en- tertainment. offering a side splitting farce concoction and at the same time presenting a most difficult offering.
 The international Dancers" will come in for attention. and again the audience will be given a rare treat in interpretative dancing. Beauty and grace vie with instruction and i'm portance while this speciality is being rendered.
 For the feature position, the Bell family will present Fifteen Minutes in Hawaii As Alex Pantages re- marked when he witnessed this act This is not an act--it's production Steel guitars, ukeleles, Hawaiian hula hula and other native dances, native
 Hawaiian songs, constituting, and in fact every element of life in the south sea isles is introduced in this clever presentation.
