SATISFIED WITH THE TEST
After Somewhat Beiated Proof of the
Purity Of the Liquor, Brothers
Slept in Peace.

Testing" corn liquor is one of the
most frequent preliminaries to con-
VITALITY these days, it is rumored, al
legged Indicated and otherwise noised
abroad. Lightnin' that burns with Il
white flame is supposed to be danger
otherwise be undesirable; shine that
burns blue is supposed to be the hon
est effort of a master-maker Of spirits.
Sometimes, however. zeal for drink
overcomeS caution, even of this I'M
certain sort, with the result that the
following occurred few nights ago.
Two young brothers in mild iniquity
secured themselves a pint. They, be-
ing fairly Iaw-abiding in other re-
spects, went to their room to drink it.
They drank it, at least, most of it,
and became somewhat affected by its
presence with them. They undressed,
turned out the light and retired. After
about 20 minutes, one aroused himself
and called TO the other.
Say, wake up, we didn't test that
liquorw
well must do it." was the drowsy
reply, won't do drink it 'thout testin'
it,"
They arose, turned on the light,
found the drop or two Of liquor left
in the flask, poured it on a hand-mir-
ror, touchedS match 70 j with due,
solemnity and care saw the blue flame
and returned to their beds absolutely

THE SKY PILOT"

Ralph Connor's famous book,
! THE Sky Pilot" the perturbation of
which was performed by the Cath
rine Curtis Productions, is even
! moro delightful in its screen version
than in novel form. Directed by King
! Vidor, and including such fayorites
as David Butler,s Colleen Moore,
John Bowers, Harry Todd and Kath-
leen Iirkham, in its cast, the en-
, thusiastiC reports from Eastern
critics have created for 2 days, be-
ginning Wednesday 18th.
THE Sky Pilot tells the story of
I q young minister called by his faith,
but not by his ultimate congrega-
ton, into the wilds of Canada to
spread the Gospel Hard and dis
couraging is the task ahead of the
Pilot. For church, he is forced to
convert the saloon into a gathering
place. His pulpit is a whiskey bar
rel and his flock the skeptical and
hard-boiled ranchmen of the dis
trict
Is A cowboys idea of sky pilot" is
far from flattering. Early in the
pilots career his sermon on the
Loaves and Fishes is brougt to
ldlHeI lupFOupIu enQ Wnen one OF
the cowboys is unable to refrain his
open disgust at what he terms the
''impossibility of the yarn" This
particular cowboy is surprised to
learn that the "Sky Pilot" packs as
much kick in his right arm as he
does in his Gospel
Incidents of absorbing human in
ferest are artisticalIy welded with
big dramatic moments that picture
the fury of cattle stampede, with
hundreds Of animals dashing madly
towards the camera, while John
Bowers, as the Sky Pilot, prompted
by something higher than what the
cowboys call nerve" stands in the
track of the approaching steers and
risks his life to save that of the little
ranch girl who has fallen from her
horse.
Nor is the wholesome humor of
the plainsmen forgotten in this pro-
duction. All in all, its a picture of
drama, comedy and thrills that real
ly seems 'made-to-order for the pat
rons of this theatre.-At the Emma.

Dress snd Insurance Rates.

Swiss women who wear short skirts
and iow-necked gowns will have to pay
higher rates of life insurance than
those who do not. The Swiss insurance
companies have announced that in fix
ing the premiums on policies of WON
ems lives they will take into considera-
ton the women's wearing apparel. The
shorter the skirt or lower the decol-
lete, the higher the insurance rate will
be.
The Swiss companies justify this &C.
ton on the ground of great increase
of Illness and disease among their
women clients which they claim Is duo
to the wearing Of short skirts and low
necked dresses.

TO WHAT AVAIL?

To what little purpose is waged the war upon fish traps i'll Alaska is demonstrated ny the fact that the war is Lhe one thing, above al; others tha. has prevented Congress from giving the people of Alaska control over their fisheries. Con gress will not legislate the fish traps out of existence and has re- fused to give the territory control over the fisheries industry for fear that the people of Alaska would legislate them out if they had the power. It would seem that common sense would dictate that the futile contest be postponed, at least, un- til the people could get the power to permit the matter to be settled as the majority of the people Of Alaska would desire. Is Alaska for ever to be sort of colossal Pick wick clug?

SPIEL RIVER PULP MILL
 IS FORGED TO SUSPEND

Claiming that the tow price of pulp, $35.00 a ton, coupled with freight charges that total S12.4O on every dry ton landed in Seattle, makes it impossible to operate at a profit, the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company has decided to close tenn porarily it's Speel river plant, ac- cording to statement appearing in recent issue of the Alaska Daily Empire. Officials of the company say they are willing to mark time for a while or until conditions adjust themselves so that operations will again be pos sible. They declare that many pulp mills of Norway and the eastern part of the United States are also closed.
 Starting actual operations a few months ago, the company now has about 300 tons of pulp on hand and has made one shipment of 100 tons to the South.
 The majority of the men employ ed at the plant have been laid off and only a sufficient number re- tained to look after the property until such time as conditions will warrant assumptions of opera tions.
 This mill is Alaska's first and only pulp mill and the experiment in pulp making was looked upon with great interest by all Alaskans. Recent reductions in the price of the product have brought it down to an abnormally low figure. The company was recently granted a freight rate of $5 a ton on their product to Seattle, but as it is a wet pulp containing more than 50 per cent moisture, the rate as com puted would mean a cost of $12.4O a dry ton landed at Seattle, which the management claims the product cannot stand.

BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS HAS VAST
PROGRAM

BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS HAS VAST
PROGRAM
Ringling Bros. land -.Banum and
Bailey To Present Scores of Entirely
New Features.
The announcement that the far
famed Ringing Brothers and Barnum
and Bailey Combined Shows are to
exhibit at Madison Tuesday August
Is has aroused no end of interest. 1t
would seem as though practically all
the youngsters and grown-ups in this
section were planning to attend.
Twice each day for almost two
months New York's great Madison
Square Garden was packed with those
who thronged to see this biggest pro-
gram IN circus history. They saw
scores of the jungle's most ferocious
beasts. subjugated to such degree,
that these bea ltiful animals leaped
f. on rode on the back, Of elephants
and horses, jumped through hoops of
fire, opened their mouths that their
men and women trainers might lay
their heads and hands inside them,
or leaped from pedestal to pedestal
like trained dogs. And these marve-
lOus dumb actors are all on our tour
with the great double cross circus.
The fOur iTonoenco ctaoI arenas in
which they perform are set up in the
mammoth main tent. There is no adj
ditional charge everything is on the
one program. And by Everything"
is meant not only the wild animal
displays, but the entire circus. More
than 600 men and women, embracing
the worlds foremost arenic stars,
take part. There are almost 100
clowns. Aside from the ferocious
beasts, the program includes thirty
trained elephants. Troupes of camels
perform in the rings. There are five
companies of trained seals, many
dogs, bears monkeys, pigs and pig
ons. Fully seventy trained horses
and Shetlands are presented. 1t is
the biggest circus program the world
has ever seen, given under the larg-
est tent and, in connection, is the
famous combined Ringing Brothers
and Barnum and Bailey menagerie.

DOES JAZZ PUT THE SIN IN
SYNCOPATION?
A Problem for American Pare

A Problem for American Parents
Dancing to Mozart minuets, Strauss
waltzes and Sousa two-steps would
never lead to the corset-check room
which now holds sway in hotels, clubs
and dance halls nor would a girl who
wore corsets in those days have been
dubbed "Old Ironsides" and left dis
consulate wall-flower in a corner of
the ball room, "says Mrs. Marx E.
Oberndorfer, National Music Chair
man of the General Federation of
Music Clubs.
The quotation above appears in an
article entitled "Does Jazz Put the
Sin in Syncopation ?" written by Mrs.
.Oberndorfer in the interest of better
music. This article which appears in
the August number of The Ladies
Home Journal, points out how music
may become an influence for evil 1t
directs particular criticism to jazz.
Offering proof that jazz produces
a definite demoralizing effect on the
human brain, Mrs. Oberndorfer con-
tinues:"Jazz originally was the ac-
compartment Of the Voodoo dancer,
stimulating the half-crazed barba-
rian to the vilest deeds"
After pointing out the evils Great
ed by Jazz, Mrs. Oberndorfer conclud
es with a plea for good music because
of the halp and inspiration it can and
will give She says: "The Music De-
partment of the General Federation
of Music Clubs has taken for it's
motto: ITO make good Music Popular
and Popular Music Good!" The ar
ticle shows how the women of Amer
lea can help the club women carry
out this motto in every home firmly,
steadfastly, determinedly, until all
the music in our land becomes an in
fluence for good.
