ASKS CHANGE
 PENSION LAW
 FOR PIONEERS

A resolution, calling upon the ter. ritorial legislature to amend the law whereby pioneer in order to re- oeive small pension of SIP a month must turn over his or her estate to the territory, was unanimously passed at a regular meeting of the Ketchikan Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska.
 The igloo feels that this part of the law works an injustice upon the recipients of the allowances, and that the granting of them "in this grudg. ing manner reflects no credit on the great territory of Alaska, and it is an unjust reflection and hardship on deserving citizens"
 Under the terms of the law as now 1n effect, a pioneer who has been a resident of Alaska for ten years or more may get the pension if he is deserving, but he must first put the ownership of such property, whether cabin, land or mining claim, as he may have, in the hands of the ter ritory.
 The resolution in full as passed, is as follows:
 To the Senate and House of Repre-
 sentatives of the Territory os Alas
 ka:
 Your memorialists, Ketchikan Igloo No. 16 Pioneers of Alaska, do most respectfully and earnestly represent:
 1. That Chapter F Session Laws 1919, being an amendmen. to cer- tain sections of Chapter GA, Session Laws 1915, the act providing for al- loWances to certain aged residents of Alaska, provides, among other things, that applicants for such allowances shall agree that all property of which he or she is possessed or seized, shall, after his or her death, vest In and become the property of the ter ritory of Alaska, to the exclusion of all heirs except his or her spouse living in the Territory of Alaska; and also that upon the death of any per son enjoying dle benefits of the pro- visions of this act, his or her estate shall vest in the territory of Alaska, unless such person shall have hus- band or. wife living.
 2. We can conceive of abuse be-

ing made of this law, as there al- ways is of any pension system, and of unworthy and unneedy persons ob- taining such allowances; but it seems to use that the territory should pro- tect itself against such impositions by proper investigation of the respective cases when the applications are made rather than strain the quality of it's assistance to citizens who have be- come dependent through old age and misfortune. This drastic provision could not operate otherwise than to work great injustice and hardship, as 1t does, by creating an incumbrance upon any little property the persons receiving the allowances may have and-thus preventing them from a free use and enjoyment of such property. however unproductive it may be. These small allowances cannot fin any case be more than a help in obtain ing the necessities of life by persons whose earning capacity has gone or become limited, and when sickness or last illness comes the expenses thereof, with this law in effect. must be borne by others.
 II 1t had been the intention of the legislature to advance these allow. ances as loans, and take mortgages on the property of beneficiaries as security, the law should have so stated. Granting the allowances in this grudging manner reflects no credit on the great territory of Alas ka' and 1t is an unjust reflection and hardship on deserving citizens.
 Wherefore, It is Resolved, by Ket- ch1kan 1gloo No. 16, Pioneers of Alas ka, that we hereby respectfully peti- tion the legislature of the territory of Alaska that it at once amend the law by eliminating the evils men. teioned in paragraph one of this me- morial, ard be it
 Further Resolved, that 9 CODY here Of be sent to the Honorable Forest J. Hunt for presentation to the ter ritorial senate, and a copy to the Honorable He%:n1n T. Tripp for pre- Gentation to the territorial house of representatives.

Sitka News

SlTkA, Feb. 1.-"There was a sound of revelry by night" Well, that means Sitka and the occasion was the Russian masked ball series. Clowns and short-skirted bloomer girls predominated the first evening.
 What an extravaganza of music there was the following night when the Sitka firemen's band appeared much incognito. It was a take-off of the original by nine young ladies who sought thus to express the music in their souls. Their costumes were as unique as their music.
 Friday night brought out a multi tude of maskers. There were all sorts and conditions of humanity in the throng of revelers. Old William Penn stepped out of the past to lend his Quaker dignity to the occasion, a dainty popcorn girl sold her wares to the crowd; music man with his puppet rolled out tunes from a quaint ly constructed music box; the hobo lent his free and easy humor; the league of nations was there clad in crazy patchwork; the two.faced won- der took in the sights from a double point of vantage; a lovelorn youth showed the sights of the city to his maidens.
 Sitka natives have made up fund of $500 which goes toward the gen eraf fund raised by the natives of Alaska to send Louise F. Paul of Wrangell to Washington, D. C., as their representative.
 The Friendly Society of Sitka met with Mrs. Duckering at the Mission on Friday afternoon.
 Mrs. E. M. Polly and son, Clayton, arrived on the Estebeth to make their home here.
 The school closed early one day last week to give the children an op. portunity to skate. It was the second brief interval of skating we have had this winter which speaks we'll for the climate here.

Hanlon WallOps Sox Off Doughboy
 In Florence Bout

F. at Florence Friday night. came bacK 10 town Saturday morning with colors fly ing Eddie stopped the ex-soldier in the third round. The former doughboy was not completely out, but the referee stopped the fight to save him from fur ther punishment.
 Eddie says the telegraph offices up that way closed about the time that Bat tlng Bob's right eye did, and for ttis reason he had to bring the story of his victory back to Birmingham by special messenger.
 Hanlon has been asked to take part in an all-star boxing card in Atlanta March %. but is still debating as to whether he should accept or not. They want him to meet Jack Denham To do this he will have to give away about 20 pounds in weight. and Eddie doesn't ex- actly relish the idea of going in facing this handicap, as Denham is a tough bird for even men of his weight It is understood that the Birmingham Athletic club is planning to stage a bout between Dummy Harrington and Eddie at the B. A. c. on the night of March %.

5. M. A. Expected to Haue Winning Ball
 Team This Season

I Greensboro March 2.-(Special) J. l About 90 baseball candidates can be seen daily out on the diamond tossing the old Dill around and from present indica- tions the chances are very bright for q winning nine this spring.
 Practically all of last years team are back in the fold two infielders and a pitcher being the missing members.
 The catching staff will be we'll taken care of by "Rowdy'' Crew, who so ably l filled that position last year. It is use less to relate anything about ''Rowdy. a. nearly everybody this side of the Mason and Dixon line knows him. He led the team in hitting last year, and if he keeps up his present gait hen surely give somebody a hot race for the honors again. Lawson and Turner will do the relief catching
 The pitching staff is well fortified with Ace" Stevens and Dent of last years team. Some pitching find may be de- veloped among the new material Brown and Tanner may be used in the box if needed
 Speaking of nfelds S. M A. has what looks to be one of the fastest and bes. infields seen in this section of the uni, verse in many a moon.
 Shores will probably land the first base assignment, as he fields right along with the rest of the initial sackers and comes through with timely hit every now and then, Joe Bush, a new man, has practi- cally cinched the Keystone sack TAis lad is little weak with the willow, but surely makes up for it in fielding
 Jesse James Lackey. the diminutiye football quarter, will be seen carrying his manly form about the shortfield This youngster covers lot of ground and has whip that spells finis to would-be base runners.
 Violet Eddie Lewis will hold down the' hot corner this year, and he is hard to beat. He fields in excellent style and packs mean wallop when he ambles 70 the bat. Eddie was with S. M A. last year. and should make this team good man with last years experience behind him.. Dolittle and Lavender stand out above the rest of the youngsters who are trying for infield berths.
 THE OUTfIELD
 The outfield is supplied with plenty of fly-chasing ability. but is a bit weak with the stick, Tanner, Dent and Green Of last years team are the most promis- iEg outflelders on the squad, and at present 1t looks as though they will win the regular berths. Rat Brown. Miller, o. Compton and Burney Henderson are also showing q bit of promise in the outer gardens.
 Ace" Stevens, the twirling phenom of last year. will more than likely be sta- tioned in the gardens when he is not doing mound duty, as he easily has more class to him than any other outfielder on the squad. His batting will neces- sitate his being used in practically every game
 Every one around Greensboro is very optimistic about the baseball outlook, IS they know the material is here, and they know Coach Gillian will put out wbo- ming team. as he has done heretofore IF the other branches of sport. The l team is going to be a fast timely hit ting bunch and will bear watching.
 Games are being arranged with How ard. Marion. Mississippi A. & NJ, Missis- sippi college. Millsaps. Clarke college and University of Alabama

Rountree has been rebuilding his Essex 1t is the present plan or staging a spring auto race meet for the benefit of the Elks if this can De arranged with State Fair officials, ac- cording to Breitenstein.
 Ralph Hankenson, one of the pest known racing promoters of this sec tion. has been in Kansas City the past week. The latter town was formerly Hankenson's headquarters. but he has decided that Birmingham is the best point for him to use as headquarters. He is expected to return here this week, when plans will be completed for the big spring meet.
 BELGIAN DRIVER HERE
 Ernie tosnaugh, Belgian driver, al rived in Birmingham the latter Dart or the week. He drove the Hudson No. II in 1920 and before that was mem Der of the Peugeot team. Fosnaugh announced that he was figuring on car rying out a different mount this year, and was dickering for the purchase of very fast race car. FoSnaugh is one or the dare devils of the amusement world and last year he piloted one of the planes in which Ethel Dare changed in mdair. She was the only woman ever to effect the change fro'a one plane to another in midair. The Belgian race driver was in the Bel gian army for four years of contln- uous war service.
 SEARLES EXPECTED SOON
 Breitenstein stated Saturday that Clio Searles is at his home at Lorlmer, la, but that he is expecting to come to Birmingham in a week or so to put his racing car in shape for the dirt track meets of the summer.
 This is the first time that race driv- CTS have ever wintered in Birmingham, and there are hundreds of citizens who did not know they were spending the rest period here. However, it has not been a rest period for Stone and Rob- inson. They have been busy at the Premo plant most every day.
 In connection with the race meets that Breitenstien has booked for the southwest and northwest the coming fair season, he stated that John Hall, the Birmingham boy who changed from a racing auto to an airplane, while Ruth Law was here a month ago. would probably go with the race driv- CTS as an aviation attraction when they start making the fairs.

IS SUNBEAM DEALER

 Resta cast his fortune with the Eng fish Sunbeam team in 1912. In 1914 his car was the. first Sunbeam to fin ish at the Amiens gran. priX, trailing three German Mercedes and Goux Peu- geot over the tape.
 Resta came to Indianapolis with a Sunbeam in 1919 sbut after giving the car a thorough tryout over the Indian apolis track decided that it could not be gotten in shape for the gruelling test and shipped the job back to Eng land before race time. He is one of the most capable driver that ever en- tered racing competition in America. In his campaigns he was always the bait for racing teams of two or three cars who hoped to eliminate the Ital- ian and win, hands down. But as q lone wolf he was successful and his thrilling performances brought him into the lmelight.
 Resta will be in fast company In tn } Indianapolis race, and it will be inter- esting to see if he has lost any of his cunning and daring that made him tso successful In his, former racing ! lcampaigns. t&
