OOD FELLOWS
 CARNIVAL |S A
 GREAT SUCCESS

The Odd Fellows Carnival held in Seward was one of the best ever view ed here. The sum of $1 ,O5O was taken in, out of which the cost of the carni- val is to be taken. The carnival con- menced at one o'clock with the crown ing of the Queen, Miss. Marjorie New file.
 When the ceremonies in front Of the Odd Fellows hall had concluded with the crowning of her Majesty, Queen Marjorie, MT. Peter Anderson, on a spirited charger, as Marshal of the Day led the parade, followed by an elaborate and charming float bear ing the queen and her attendants, Miss Ethel Mcintosh and Miss Beat rice Baughman, followed by dozen pretty children as participants. The float of her Majesty was surrounded by her gallant knights, represented their trim uniforms and soldiery,,
 by the boys of the 21st Infantry, who quickly cleared the street of the vast crowd which packed in and around the float, and affected passage through to Adams street. Following behind the children was the town band with Miss Thelma Ellsworth as Drum Major, and also playing the saxaphone; Dr. Beu- lah Wilson and John Noon as Clowns. Following the clown band were the masqueraders representing Gypsies, Fortune Tellers, Hawaiian Dancers, Turkish Ladies and shines" followed by the Boy Scouts and the gaily deco rated Fire Truck with Chief Guest at the wheel. Following this came very elaborately decorated automobiles The line of march was along Adams Street down Third Avenue, over Washington, and up broadway. Cheer after cheer went up from the crowd as queen Marjorie passed in review. Other cheers followed as each succeeding section passed with it's comic or it's bevy of happy children. Once again in the Odd Fellows Hall Queen Mar jorie held public reception to the vari- ous citizens, surrounded by her court.
 After the parade various sports cor sisting of trap shooting, mems and children's foot racing, and many other affairs took place.
 Immediately after the conclusion of the sports a vaudeville and carnival show were held in the hall. All kinds of gambling games were in operation and the merrymakers spent a very noisy and pleasant afternoon "seeing the sights"
 A Grand Ball lasting until late in the evening brought the Fourth to Q close, and ended the best celebration held in Seward. Let us hope the Odd Fellows show the same good spirit next year and give bigger and bet ter carnival than any held in Alaska.
 The Odd Fellows wish to thank all the people of Seward, who so kindly donated their aid and patronized the carnival.

BLIND II YEARS, SEES At 80
Former kentucky Policeman Enjoyed
Ball Games While Sitting
In Darkness.

Maysville, Ky.-WiYiam B. Dawson,
eighty years old. who after eleven
years of blindness has regained his
sight sufficiently to distinguish certain
objects, has gone to Cincinnati, where
he will undergo an operation which, 1t
is promised, will enable him to see
well.
MIR. Dawson retired from the Mays
vile police force when he was stricken
after several years Of service.
During his years Of darkness his
chief diversion was attending base
ball games. Though sitting in utter
darkness, he could tell when batter
hit the ball, In which direction 1t went
and whether it was a safe hit. .
The first Indication that he would
see again came when he learned he
could distinguish light from dark.

windows in his room.

The eggs are laid some distance
from the shore, and as soon as the

was at this age Of the young turtles
that the experiments were conducted.
The scientists had with them sheets Of
colored paper red, yellow and blue.
When a sheet of red or yellow paper
was placed between the baby and his
view of the water he would immedi-
ately turn and go in another direction.
But when the blue sheet was used, no

make for it without hesitation. There

Gets Color From Food.
The tests were made with the At
lantic green turtle. 1t is also believed
that he gets the color for which he Is
named from feeding on the seaweeds,
which are more brilliant in color. Re-
search along similar lines has devel-
oped the theory that the beautiful
scarlet flamingo gets his coloring
from cerions and the brilliantly hued
molluscs which abound along the
coasts of the southern islands and
shoals. It is strongly substantiated
by the fact that the European fla
mingo is almost white and that our
own species fades rapidly when put in
geological collections where he can
no longer get these foods. In the
same process, the wonderfully colored
tropical fish lose their vividness when
placed in captivity.

a. Per Cent Increase in Arrests
at Washington Due to "Non-
Beverages
1907 SENTENCED IN YEAR
Fiavoring Extracts, Tonics, Perfumes,
Medicine Containing Alcohol and
Even Wood Alcohol Used az
Beverage.

Washington.-The use Of hair tonic,
favoring extracts, perfumes, medicines
containing alcohol, and even poisonous
wood alcohol, for beverage purposes,
had good deal to do with the fact
that the number of Jail sentences dealt
out at the nations capital for intoxi-
cation during the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1921, showed an Increase OF
"a per cent over the previous year, &C.
cording to the annual report of w. l..
Peak, superintendent Of the District
Jail, just made public.
Superintendent Peak described the
increase as IAN erratic fluctuation in
the process of extinction" which local
observers declared not such bad way
of putting it, after all. At any rate,
there were 1907 sentenced to Jail for
drinking more than they could handle,
as compared with S41 who didn't get
home safely the year before.
Intoxication Increasing.
From their low point following the
new law the figures are ascending and
int0Xication for the moment Is In
creasing," reads the superintendent
report.
THE beverages are new, and most
of them are legitimate articles of COM
MERGE, but they are being used for pur-
poses never designed by the manufac-
turer. Hair tonic, fiavoring extracts,
perfumes, medicines and the poisonous
wood alcohol are all being consumed
by the old-time victims Of habit
which required an act Of congress to
cure.
1.-The increase is due to the fact that
younger men have been able to evade
the law and have found means of traf.
ticking in saleable limitations Of old
beverages having an alcoholic con
tent nearly double that Of the older
product.
THE enforcement of the law is full

probably only an cratic fluctuation IL
