ing group Of boys and girls
Lucy's mother pianed a number on
the back Of each child and then sh"
gave slips Of paper with LIST D.. ulA-

children were then told 20 --ess t-=
ambition Of their friends and 70 write
the occupation selected in the s.ar=

The parade disbanded at George
Washington Square, where there was
plenty of room for everybody, and at
the ice cream cone wagon Martha
treated herself and her friends. Jack
kept away from her and at the supper
table afterwards he hadn't much to
say to her. He wouldn't even ask her
to pass the butter but asked his Moth

Five dollars" said Jack.
Hhats this?" inquired their
father.
Just a game" replied Jack, giving
MS younger sister stern look.
Martha said nothing because there
was plenty of time to coax Jack before
the picnic. But that night just as she
was about to slip into bed she heard
peal of thunder. A storm! Dad
and Mother had gone to the movies
and there. was nobody home except
herself and Jack who was downstairs
reading.
III be all right If the window IS
closed" thought Martha, who wasn't
exactly afraid OF storms.
She tried to close her window b,,,
couldn't bulge it. Flash, went the
lightning and bang! went tile thunder.
Martha ran to the head of the stairs
and o,lled down to her brother; "Oh
JACK, please come quick and shut my
window for me. It's stuck"
Five dollars" called Jack. "1t's

Poor Martha went back to her room

THOUSANDS
 STARVING
People Dying Off by Thousands from StaryatiOn-Trees are Stripped Ot Bark-Dogs and Men fight over the Bodies of the Fallen.

NEW YORK, March 1S-A graphic description of the famine scenes in China, an explanation of their cause and an outline of the method of relief was given by Charles Davis Jones a civil engineer in China for the past twenty-five years, in his speech here today.
 "A silent panic spreads rapidly over the famine-stricken area when the people realize their danger of starvation, All the people are wander ing not to>any definite point, but to any place which changes the scene of their misery. It is as if great fear were over the whole country and the people were holding their breath and listening and waiting for horror. None but the starving or sick are seen in the streets at such a time Famine fever and typhus soon break out in every town and city.
 "Outside the walls of these towns and on the highways are emaciated, half-demented men, women and child ren going anywhere. Nearly every tree s stripped of its bark ad dying.
 "Not a day goes by but one passes bodies in the highways of at the road sides and fields-men, women children and babies. Over the fields and along the roads prowl starving dogs that once more are fierce wolves, gaunt hungry, savage, devouring what lies n their way. In some instances men ad women, isane, fight with the dogs fo rfood. Ad once one of these dogs is killed he is at once eaten by man or dog.

 Many Friends
MANY YEARS IN NORTHLAND
Taken Part in Many Stampedes and Appointed Clerk in 1913-Was . Thirty Second Degree Mason-Well Thougrt of by Alaskans.

Former Clerk of Court Arthur Lang passed away Thursday morning at 8 o'clock at his home on Sherman Street in this city, after an illness of sev- eral months duration,says the Valdez Miner. Funeral services will be held in Eagle Hall of that city.
 Arthur Lang was born in Ontario, Canada, September "A, 1859. He came to the United States in 1887, joining the throng of virile young men who came west to cast their fortunes with others on the Pacific slope. He resid- ed in Seattle for 6 number of years where he held several official posi- tions, joining the stampede to tho Golden North in 1898. He first resided in Juneau, where he was connected with several business institutions, lat
 CT going to Nome in the early days of the stampede, finally settling down in Valdez, where he has held many
 positions of trust. He has served on the city council, and later served as cashier in the Valdez Bank & Mercan- tile Company.
 In 1908 MT. Lang was united in mar riage to Miss Pauline de Kaxlowsd, of this city, who survives him. He al- so leaves sister, Mrs. 7. A. Hemple of Seattle, Wash, and a brother Wm. Lang of Vancouver, B. c.
 MT. Lang was appointed Clerk of the District Court in 1913 serving in that capacity until about a month ago when he resigned on account of illness MT. Lang was a Thirty-second de- gree Mason, a Mystic Shriner of Nile Temple, Seattle; a Royal Arcanum, l W. o. w., Pioneer and a Moose. He was instrumental in starting Valdez Lodge No. 168, F. & A. M. in 1908. The death of Mir. Lang has cast a pail of gloom over the community as he was one of the most progressive of our citizens; broad minded, toler-
 ant and affable. He ws very fond of children and never tired of them. 4 man of splendid physique and with 1t tractive personality, he made friends with all he met who will cinceeely mourn his demise.
