HERE'S CERTAINLY CASE
 FOR CARNEGIE FUND

DEFIANCE, Ohio, April 29-The solons of Brunersburg, village of two dozen houses, mile from here, which was razed by the 1920 cyclone and which since provided two kid mapping sensations and an auto-bus wreck, are debating whether to award Clarence Hanna the brass medal for bravery, as originally planned, or to present him the new pair of pants he requested.
 Hanna was in the midst of the annual rat-and- mice hunt when Ora Greggs kitten was observed on one of the crossarms of a thirty-six-foot telegraph pole.
 After several of the village aero bats had made futile efforts to climb a greased pole, Hanna dropped his rat-hunting implements and soon was at the top of the pole, where he re- ceived the cheers of the populace.
 But coming down he caught his trousers on nail. He swung fran tically, while women spectators looked the other way. It is reported that Hanna appropriated a nearby barrel in order to reach home.

MOSCOW, April 29.-A huge quan- tity of Russian furs, stored in a ware hous near the Kremlin, as part of the Soviet government national loot, will be placed on the market early next fall.
 The immense stock consists largely of astrachan, sable and ermine. It is the largest single supply of furs in Russia, and will be held in reserve until Lenin has re-established Russia's world trade sufficiently to obtain a good market.
 While this supply is not for sale at present, the national treasury con. tinues to operate retail department where mink, fox and other of the cheaper skins are sold The public has unshaken confidence in this branch of the government, for it has found the furs to be in good condition well tanned and reasonable in price A monkey skin large enough for a mans overcoat could be had last win. ter for about $20, and other furs were in proportion. A few hundred miles from Moscow, however, the prices are 50 per cent lower as money is scarcer.
 Many of the skins selling at high prices in Central Europe or the United States have no special value in Rus sia One of these is sable marten. A fair grade of this fur may be had for $2 and an entire coat, consisting of 60 to 70 skins, will sell for $40 to $50 Silver fox may be had for ap- proximately the same price as sable, which sells for about $7.
 All these skins bring five times as much as soon as they cross the front fer.

RUSSIAN THIEVES AND ENGLISH FUR BUYERS GETTING READY TO
 SPOIL FUR INDUSTRY OF WORLD
Nows the Time for Alaska Chambers of Com-
 merce to Ask Aid of Secretary Hoover.

Russia is getting ready to flood the world with furs. Huge stores of them, which have been piIine up in isolated places ever since the wars began, are going to be avail able, because the thieving Bolshe- wiki long ago discovered that furs were just acceptable as loot to the Red devils at Petrograd and Moscow as were rubIes and dia- monds and gold.
 Such traitors as Bill Haywood and Emma Goldman undoubtedly have been advising Lenn and Trotsky to accumulate the furs, because the Americans are "crazy for them,' and we may expect great quantities of them to be thrown upon the American mar ket-from the Allied nations, principally England-just as soon as they get through at Genoa.
 How does this affect Alaska, and particularly Cordova?
 Very seriously, indeed, for this is the chief center of the Ameri- can fur market. Our trappers even now are holding many furs, waiting for favorable market. Our fox farmers, the same. And we are appealing to the govern ment to allow the Territory to have at least the "core of the apple" in the form of about two million dollars annually from the sale of the pelts of seals and foxes.
 If America allows it, the Eng fish and Russian dealers will spoil the fur market in America for the next ten years. One good way to safeguard the industry is for the Chambers of Commerce in Alaska to ask Secretary Herbert Hoover to make proper arrangements with the British government, if possible, to prevent the ruination of the fur market by the coming "fIood" from Russia; and if the English government is indifferent, perhaps our Congress may be per- suaded to insert little clause in the pending permanent tariff measure that would afford the ne- cessary protection.
 In Cordova a few days ago two worthy trappers brought a pile of furs to town and readily sold them for several thousand dol Iars-the result of six months work. Six months from now, if the Russian supply is unrestricted, that same pile of furs perhaps might bring one-third or one-half as much, possibly less. The Eng fish fur buyers at London and Russian Reds are in cahoots now and will be for some time to come. 1t behooves the AIaskans to act in this matter without delay.

was Duke Amelung recorded in Dan

Amala was the earliest feminine
name formed from Anal It was
favorite in Lombardy, but soon pene-
trated Germany, where it found vogue
as Amalie. Meantime, France and
Italy had adopted the Latin Aemilia
and through the similarity in sound,
the two names were thought to be
identical. France compromised the
difference between Aemilia and ANA

which has such vogue there today.
Amelia is the English version. It

WHY q
DO BIRDS SING -

TX7HAT we 'call the song" Of the
~ birdEthe melodious sounds
which it makes With it's throat-is
really the courtship or love making Of
the male bird which seeks IN this man
ner to attract his mate and to make
himself more pleasing in her eyes
This l0ye-making goes on from early
in the spring until after the eggs Of
the mother-bird have been Matched,
but, in the great majority of cases, it
ceases as soon as the young birds have
pecked their way sout of the shell.
In the case OF the nightingMe-re-
nowned as the greatest Of singers
the male charms his mate with the
sound Of his voice all during the
period wfsen he is counting her, during
the time the nest is being built and
even after the eggs have been laid. AS
soon as the little 11ightingales emerge
from their shells, the song of the ia
ther charges to "a hoarse guHtural
croak,v as If he were anxious and
alarmed over the safety of his Off
spring. But-and here Is the proof
Of the fact that the song of the ibird
is synonymous with courtship-if the
nest and the little ,nightingaies de-
stroyed. the father ,once more Gem
mences to sing, as glOriously as he
fore, and continues this until a new
family is born. The process of sing
ing is. of course, the same as with a
human being. The vocal muscles are
expanded and contracted and the
waves of air passing over the deli
cate membranes produce the har-
mony. But unlike human beings, the
great majority of birds do not have to
be taught to sing.

THE BAD START

THE average man Is so constituted
= that certain amount of discour-
agement is necessary to progress.
That is why nobody should worry
about bad start.
Get good one If you can, of
course. 1t will help. But remember
If your start was bad, that so was the
start of almost every other man who
ever attained place Of any impor-
lance in the world.
General Grant got bad start in his
studies at West Point, and did so poor
| ly in the army that he resigned.
At the outbreak of the war between
the states in America, he had settled
down to the business Of running q
yard and tannery in an obscure ILL
neis town.
His biographer says that he was ut
terly discouraged. But he wasn't. He
knew that somewhere in him was q
very great ability. And when he got
into the war. as all young Americans
on both sides did, ambition awoke in
him.
Everybody knows the rest Of the
story.
Lloyd George is one of the few con-
spicuous figures in the world today
who proceeded from success to sue
cess after ne once got his start.
The start itself WAS extremely bad.
1t would have discouraged most men.
However, determination triumphed
over poverty and lack of opportunity.
The world knows the rest Of that
story, too.
It stands to reason that If you never
nave to use your muscles you will al
ways be a weaklicg. And you can
only use your muscles in overcoming
something, whether it is a Job, or your
own natural inertia.
Neither can you develop your men,
tai possibilities without overcoming
obstacles, and to sti,e poor in spirit all
obstacles are discouragements.
Don't feel blue about bad start. It
ought to make you determined to
atone for 1t, and In atoning for 1t you
will gain strength and character.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"SABOTAGE"

THE spread of strikes and the
= resultant efforts Of certain
dissatisfied elements to cripple
industry in every way possible
brought into use the French
word sabotage in such a way
that it may be said to have
been Anglicized, much as
valet "barrage," ballet and
"camouflage" have been AngIi-
cized.
BY Sabotage" as currently
used, is understood the act of
producing poor work or other
damage either to machinery or
to the good will Of some com
mercial organization. The work
man who is deliberately careless
in the manufacture of some ar
ticle, is as guilty of sabotage as
is the workman who wrecks the
machine itself-for both Of them
tend to injure the company for
which they are working, either
in its reputation or in it's opera
ton.
In its original French sense
the word was a harmle. one,
entirely unconnected with crime
of any kind, and meaning the
cutting of shoes or sockets for
rails in railroad ties, "sabot" be-
ing French for wooden shoes"
During the strikes which par
alyZed internal commerce in
France toward the end of the
last century, many of the strik-
ers tore up the railroad tracks
or loOsened the shoe so that the
rails spread. thus giving the
word its new application and
the significance under which 1t
has slipped into the language on
this side of the Atlantic.
