SUGGEST s1o,000
 ALASKA'S QUOTA
 TO RELIEF FUND
Committees Believes Terri tory Should Care for
 1000 Needy Children.

The control committee of the EG- ropean Relief Council h1s tentatively fixed Alaska's quota to the fund for starving European children at BIO, 900, according to a statement made this morning by Gov. Thomas Riggs, Chairman of the Territorial Com mittee having the matter in charge. that the suggested amount will be raised without serious difficulty
 The control committee in a letter to Gov. Riggs stated, We have not made habit of giving quotas tC any state unless they ask for it., and when we give a quota we give il in number of children to be saved at $10 per child. If you wish to use the quota, the quota for the in sular and foreign possession of the United States is 10000 children, or $i00,000. The proportion of that number from Alaska you will know better than We do; l should judge il would be in the neighborhood of $10,000."
 Gov. Riggs said that the reports received from various district chair men over the Territory, while en- couraging, were not sufficiently def mite to indicate what proportion of the suggested quota had been al ready subscribed.
 To aid the Territorial organization in it's drive, books of Invisible Guests' certificates have been re- ceived from the European Relic! Council These are in $10 units none being sold for less than that amount. A supply of the books has been furnished to each district chair man for distribution to local chair men Each $10 certificate shows that the pnSchases has until the next harvest for his invisible guest, a European child
 Among other plans adopted for aiding the drive is National Motion Picture Day which is set by the Council for January 26 This will be supported by the motion picture in 1 dustry of the nation, and in the States arrangements have been made 1 for speakers to address audiences in all motion picture theatres and col l lections made will be devoted to th2 i benefit of the work of the European 1 Relief Council

 You are going with me to po- lice headquarters.
 Thus wound up long ar gument resulting from a contest of wits and rights between motorman of the B. R. L. and r. railway, traffic policeman and an Indignant automobile driver yesterday afternoon in the down town district.
 The motorist was coming along a crowded thoroughfare and in tending to park his car in con venient space. ovcrran the space and brought his car to stop just a few feet beyond. A street car was following him so closely that he was unable to back far enough to get into the place he desired. Result. One automobile completely blocked the street with street cars, automobiles and curious pedestrians. One traffic cop was attracted by the crowd. Ensuing argument as to whether the automobile would pull ahead and park in the next place few feet ahead, or the street car should be dismantled and removed temporarily so that the automo- bile could park in the original space he desired.
 It took the traffic man just two minutes to straighten out an argument that had lasted over five. Today some one will know more about the courtesy Of the road and incidentally about the traffic code. the police say.
