JENNINGS BLOCKS EFFORTS
 TO TEST JONES MARINE ACT

KETCHIKAN, June 16-District Judge Jennings rendered decision this week denying the petition of the Territory of Alaska and the Juneau Hardware Company for restraining order enjoining Collect or of Customs Troy from taking steps to forfeit merchandise shipped from Canada admittedly in violation of the Jones marine act.
 The plaintiffs contend that section 27 of the act is unconstitutional be. cause it discriminates against the territory of Alaska.
 The action to test the validity of the act was authorized by the late legislature.

BENSON SAYS AMERNANS
 ARE ON THE SEA TO STAY

LONDON, June 16-Admiral Ben son, retiring chairman of the United States Shipping Board, writing on the future of the American mer- chant marine, in the publication Fairplay, says: America is upon the sea to stay. Who can doubt that she will, after witnessing the won- derful-almost undreamed of-ac- complishments during the late war:
 America has expended four bil- lion dollars to make place for herself upon the seas, and has made that place, and will undertake earn estly to maintain it. There is sufti- cient commerce for all the nations to thrive upon. ...
 Ut should not be forgotten that the ruthless enemy practically wiped out good part of the most efficient type of our overseas shipping. If America had not by it's shipbuilding made up for this lack in world ship ping, ocean rates would be soaring today.
 'I, for one, am optimistic as to the future of the American merchant marine. The shipping of the entire world is now in a period of depres- sion, but I believe that within q short time we shall see a turn for the better; in fact, even now there are indications of a revival.
 "We are now ship independent, and we must and will strive to maintain that independence.

YANKEE TOURISTS ABROAD
 ARE FILLING THE HOTELS

ROME, June 1-"Tenting on the old camp ground" willsbe the lot of Americans rushing into Rome. Rome is full, full for months, so the hotel men say. American tourists have captured and occupy it so that others of their countrymen wishing to get in must be spoken for in advance or must pave a golden road for themselves in gratuities to hotel porters and clerks in order to get a place where to lay their heads.
 "Sorry, but we are full. Did you write us? Did you telegraph" is the constant cry of the functionaries at the hotels. If one cannot answer in the affirmative, sorry indeed is their lot for weary pilgrimages from one hotel to another is the only all formative.
 A chance might bring a room 'scalper" to ones assistance. This consists in offering a room in a private house for which the daily stipulation is enormous. There was one example where an American paid s10 night for his room in a private family. The room was only scantily furnished and not at all modern in its appointments. i Aside from the scarcity of lodg- ings, Rome seems to have taken on its pre-war tourist attitude. The same vendors of cameos present themselves to the American on his appearance in Rome. The same old faces are seen in the antique shops and the art show-rooms. The same beggars occupy their accustomed places, while the same old "blind band" with it's full-sighted "drum mer" of tourist shekels grinds out its unintelligible violin squeaks and clarionet groans. Cab drivers rule the highways, except for new auto bus line which has superseded the old horse line on the Corso Umberto.
 l Prices have mounted ten to 20 times what they were in the old days and all the souvenirs are thousand per cent higher. The art works and antiques have taken similar leap Itching palms" greet the Yankee tourist at every turn. Hotel prices even when transferred into Amerr- can money, are two or three times their former level. A room and meals on the American plan cost at least S5 person, where it used to cost $2. -.-....

FORMER RUSSIAN NOTABLEs
 GLAD TO DO MENIAL LABOR

RIGA. Latvia, May 10--lt is not unusual in Riga to have a Russian princess as your stenogrspher. At least, business man can acquire the service of a countess in that capacity. Almost every diplomatic or consular mission in Riga has at least one princess or countess as a typist.
 If the supply of princesses and countesses fail, there remains large number Of other we'll edu- cated people, most of them unaccus- tened to work, but now anxious to do anything to save them from starvation.
 Men who have been general man- agers of big Russian factories are now glad to take any kind of decent honorable employment to earn their living here.
 The condition of these Russian refugees who have found shelter in the infant Baltic states shows how complete has been the financial downfall of the Russian nobility.
 In Riga, Reval and other Baltic towns, princes, barons and counts and their families, accustomed for decades in Russia to lives of luxury are living a hand-to-mouth exist ence. The possessions which they once had and that escaped confisca- tion by the Bolshevikii, clutter up the shelves of second hand dealers in these cities. Diamonds, other jewels, fine tapestries and the count less costly knick knacks of a lux urious civilization have been sold by these refugees to get bread The correspondent was present a few weeks ago at an entertainment for the benefit of some of these refugees-all members of the old Russian and Baltic nobility. Some of the more fortunate had saved their evening clothes. They were in sharp contrast to those who had not. Here and there were men in coats of one color, trousers of another and tan shoes or high boots. They danced with women as variously clad-some chic, in latest modes, some in >shirtwaists and skirts; still others in frocks so obviously home made or remote that the poorest shop girl in New York would sniff at them.
 The casual stranger dropping into Riga or Reval for a day or two would never find this poverty. h. stead, he would find cafes, open all night, where foreigners, lucky be- cause of the low rates of exchange, and local profteers, tossed fat bank rolls of almost worthless rubles or marks to walters who count only in hundreds of thousands.
 An American correspondent who advertised in Riga newspaper for a translator able to read, write and speak fluently English, Russian and German, and with some knowledge of Lettish, received 51 replies by mail. The corridor before his room in the hotel was filled with men and women seeking to apply personally for the position. Most of them were so we'll educated that they could quayify not only in the four lan- guages mentioned, but in others as we'll. They were either out of work or receiving such small pay that they were anxious to change.
 Among the applicants was a form CT colonel in one of the most aris- tocratic Petrograd guard regiments, and a dozen other former officers.

Is Your Hair Long?

The fact that person was wrongly
certified as insane led to discussion
the other day as to whether long
hair was a sign of insanity, London
Answers states.
1t was said that, although this was
no evidence of insanity, it might prob
ably be proof of eccentricity. Many
of our greatest geniuses have pos
sessed remarkable crops Of hair.
1t was once said that the love of
music, or the possession of musical
talents, tended to increase the growth
of hair, and, indeed, when one looks
round there are many instances to
make this seem feasible.
A great man once made statement
to the effect that there was only
thin dividing line between genius and
lunacy. SO if long hair is sign Of
insanity and genius and there is only
thin dividing line between the two,
lit behooves us to be very careful
how we treat long-haired, eccentric
looking individuals, for fear they
prove to be some one too great to
risk offending.

WRITER'S RIGHT TO BORROW
Highest Authority for the Practice in
the Works of the Worlds
Greatest.

One reads for thought and for quo
tation not less; if he find his thought
more finely conceived and aptly ex-
pressed by another, let him quote with
out hesitation or apology. He has the
highest authority for the practice.
How rich Is Plutarch's page, Mons
taigne's, Bacon's! And what they Dor;
row is Of piece with their own text,
giving it added strength and grace. l
know the fashion of our time affects
disdain of borrowing. But who is rich
enough to refuse, or piead honorably
for his exclusiveness? Somehow the
printer happens to forget his quota
ton marks, and the credit of origi-
nality goes to the writer none the less.
The plea is that quoting often i'm
plies sterility and bad taste. Then
Shakespeare and his contemporaries
were wanting in wit AMI fine rhetoric.
Hear how Montaigne justiies his
practice:
'Let nobody insist upOn the matter
write but my method In writing. Let
them observe in what borrow, if /

proper to raise or relieve invention,
which is always my own; for make
others say for me what, either for

We like to cheer them up in the cold
winter time as well as in the beautiful
summer time.
'In the winter time there aren't so
many birds about, and it is nice for
us to do what we can to cheer people
up.
They're very good to us, very good
indeed. So many people give US bread
crumbs in the winter time, when food
is scarce and hard to get.
And so we like to do what we can
for people, to show them we are CRATE
full to Them
eve do, indeed said Mrs. Chick
adee.
ut seems the Phoebe birds have
been telling others that the way to
know them is by listening to them
saying their name over and over
again.
'AThe Bobolinks have said the same.
What about us, Mr.. Chickadee?" Mrs.
Chickadee ended.
"Ah," said Mr.. Chickadee, 1--WE like
to let them know who we are, too.
We are very anxious they should
know US, not only by our looks, but
because we, too, tell them our family
name.
"over and over again we like to
say:
Observation-Disclosures, chick-a-dee-
dee-dee,' so they will know we are Of
+hn ohicLadnn family
''Then when they know who we are,
we like to show them how friendly we
are and how we like to be with them
in all sorts of weather, and in the
winter as well as in the summer.
II think I'd like to sing little song
about it."
DO" said Mrs. Chickadee.
So Mr.. Chickadee sang this song:
When the winter is long,
We're here with our song,
When summer is here,
We want to give cheer.
So all times of the year.
We're hopping about,
Singing that they never need fear,
And never need doubt,
But that we'll be around,
Quite near the ground,
On days of all sorts,
With our chick-a-dee-dee-dee,

Where can happiness always Be
found? In the dictionary.
What is that which is invisible, yet
always in sight? The letter S.
What are we afraid of that cannot
really hurt us? The roar of lion.
Why do authors dislike the letter
S? Because it makes their tales
stale.
When does flivver grow up? When
1t turns into a garage.
What key in music would make
good officer? A sharp major.
What is that which is bought by the
yard and worn by the foot? A car
pet.
What would handkerchief become
If placed in basin of soda and water?
Wet.
why is a spendthrift's purse like a
thundercloud? Because it keeps on
lightning.
What is it that is always on the

ST can't understand, said Mr.. Chick
adee, chow creatures can live to-
gether and quarrel all the time. 1t is
such waste of perfectly good time in
the first place.
SIN the second place it isn't any fun.
Quarreling most assuredly isn't fun"
Now, singing and chirping and worm
hunting and bread-crumb parties are
all lots of fun.
"But quarreling isn't any fun at all.
1t makes creatures unhappy and it
makes them very often quite sad. Even
if they get the best of a quarrel they
don't feel all happy and excited as they
do after a fine party.
Nov, the Sparrows fight all the
time. But no one would ever de-
scribe the Sparrow as a merry, happy
little bird.
"There is the Startling. No one
would describe him as a happy bird.
And the Startling is a fighter, too.

TN the winter time we like to be

We never grumble over the weather.
We can't understand how people can

'To us it is so foolish. The weather
is going to do just what it wants to,
in the first place, and isn't going to
pay attention to anyone, nor is it go
ing to pay any attention to what any
one thinks.
Sensible creatures have discovered
that. And we feel we are sensible.
Besides, it only makes others I'M
happy to hear grumbles about the
