LAST OF SOLDIER DEAD TO
RETURN

The last large shipment of remains
Of soldier dead, returned for burial un-
der the stars and stripes, will be COM
pleted when the army transport, Cam
brai reaches New York about March
80, with 1924 flag draped Baskets.
With the arrival of the Cambria the
reverent task of the quartermaster
corps of the army of bringing home
the bodies of those who fen in France,
viii be practically finished. Plans are
already under way for appropriate SER
vices and ceremonies at the dock. to
pay final tribute to those who made
the supreme sacrifice.
After the Cambria lands her prec-
ious freight, approximately only S25
bodies Will remain abroad to be
brought to the United States for bur
ial. Up to March l the graves regis
tration service of the quarterma ster
corps had returned to this country
cans who died on foreign soil. SO
perfect have been all arrangements
incident TO the last Journey chat many
commendatory letters from relatives
and friends OF those returned for bur
ial, have been received by the quarter
master generals office. Every effort
has been made TO accord the soldier
dead the most reverent care, from the
time of disbursement TO the time the
casket reaches its final resting place.
Recently Major General III. l.. Rogers,
quartermaster general, made a special
trip to France to inspect the activi
ties OF the American graves registra-
ton service, and on his return ex-
pressed himself as fully satisfied with
every detail Of the work.
Concentration OF bodies in American
cemeteries will be continued, as about
$4,000 of those who died overseas are
not to be returned for burial here, ac-
cordipg to the desire OF their next of
kin. The policy of the government is
to remove the soldier dead from bat
tlefield burial grounds, and to renter
them in permanent cemeteries which
win be cared for by the United States,
as are national cemeteries in this
country.

ALASKA INVESTIGATION BY DE.
PARTMENT OF COMMERCE

II IS the intention Of the department
OF commerce 20 send a party, headed
by Assistant Secretary c. H Huston,
TO Alaska this summer for the pur-
pose of making a general investiga-
ton of the conditions in which that
department IS particularly interested.
The bureau OF fisheries. the coast and
geodetic survey, the lighthouse service
and the steam -boat inspection service
are the bureaus OF the department OF
commerce which are closely identified
with the affairs of the territory. It
is the purpose to determine in What
ways these bureaus can be made OF
greater benefit in developing Alaska
Particular attention will be devoted
TO the salmon fisheries OF the terri
tory, which yield products OF an aver
age annual value OF about s4o,o0o.ooo
and in normal seasons give employ
ment TO upwards of 10000 persons and
represent an investment Of about sTG,-
ooo, 900.
1t will be the purpose also to OBJ
serye conditions in respect 10 the fur
seal industry at the PTfbilof Islands,
which work IS administered by the de-
partment Of commerce through the
bureau OF fisheries. The American
fur-seal herd resorts to the Pribilof
Islands for breeding purposes, and
each year some OF the surplus male
seals are killed there and the pelts
subsequently disposed OF for the &C
count OF the government. In the sea-
son OF 1921 there were taken 2S.s71
sealskins from the herd which num-
bered 5s1. 45S animals The annual
censuses of the herd show a satisfac-
tory growth each year, the net in
crease being about five per cent after
6educting those killed.
Tho skins are dressed. dyed and
machined. and sold at public auction
thru the Departments selling agents
at st, Louis. and the proceeds are
covered into the treasury OF the United
states. on the average, the sealskins
yield the government from ;l.000. 600

THE GREATEST LIGHT

The most powerful hight man has
ever been able to make has just been
set up on the Atlantic coast OF the
United States. It Is q giant search-
light which shines with light of geo
million candle-power.
No other searchlight has been made
with SO large O lens, which Is sixty
inches across. The United States
Government is planning to make others
like 1t to be placed along the coast
and used for coast defense.
Before this new light was built, the
brilliant light of the Heligoland light
house. in the North Sea, was looked
upon IS a wonder OF the world. It's
light could be seen by ships IS miles
away. It consisted OF three electric
searchlights, and the expense OF keep
ing ii up was enormous. The Heligo-
land light is now quite Gin the shade"
however, for the new light Ia thirty
times as powerful.
Perhaps you did not know that one
can6le-rcwer, which is the standard
for testing brilliance of light, is the
light of q sperm-cil candle seven

THIS Fits MOST OF US

Henry Ward Beecher, so the story
goes, was once asked by a young
preacher how he could make his con-
gregation keep wide awake and atten-
tive during his sermons. Beecher re-
piled that he always had a man watch
for sleepers, with Instructions. as soon
as he saw any one start nodding or
doing, to hasten TO the pulpit and
wake up the preacher. Aren't you and
I usually less sensible. Would we not
be inclined TO have the watcher wake
up, not ourselves, but the fellows
caught sleeping? In other words,
aren't we disposed always TO blame
others? When things go wrong in an
organization, the president usually
feels il is necessary for him to shake
up his associates His associates, in
turn, usually start kicking up ructions
with those under them. And workers,
when they are dissatisfied, usually lay
the blame. not at their own door, but
at the door of the foreman or the de-
partment head or the big boss-some-
body, anybody. except themselves.
How about adding this Beecher
squib to what we always carry around
with us in our mind ?-Forbes Maga-
zine IN. W.

ONE REEL YARNS

poured across her bed with a warmth

Mary Ellen worked sufkify. She
wanted to be outside. The morning was

Where is there rope can have?'
There isn't any," said her mother.
You'll have to remind father TO bring

Mary Ellen routed. She went out in
front OF the house. The boy next door
was playing marbles. She must skip
the rope. Back to the basement she
went, 10 the hook where her mother
hung tho clothesline. Surely her moth
er wouldn't miss a piece long enough
TO make skipping rope.
n lew minutes later MaTy ElSn was
skipping down the street.

Mary Ellen hung her head ana start

as she had thought. The wind was
getting colder. She worked as fast as

PHILIPPINES ARE SOLVENT

1.-THE Philippines are solvent and
will remain solvent unless there
should come time when the expenses
of the island are greater than the
total income of the people, which is
virtually an impossibility.'
This is the announcement OF Jno.
+. Forbes, of the firm of Haskins g.
Sells, public accountants, who accom-
panied the Wood-Forbes mission to
the Philippines to investigate condi-
tons there. at the request Of the pres
ident. Mr. Forbes has been examiDg
the affairs Of the country with the
Shanghai experts of his firm. Upon
completing his work and returning to
San Francisco, he gave out his opin-
ion:
THE Filipinos entered upon a
scheme OF putting the government in
to business. They sunk money in a
national bank and put enormous sums
into a government railroad and coal
mines. They put large sums into the
hemp market and into the manufac-
ture OF cement.
THE result was that the finances
of the country were in such shape that
no one knew where the country stood
financially.
Having all its resources tied up
in these non-liquid enterprises, the
Filipino government was without
funds and asked the United States
government to increase its borrowing
capacity. The country Is solvent and
probably never will be insolvent, be-
cause it can always increase taxation,
and the islands have virtually a mo-
nopoly on hemp and certain kinds OF
tobacco, with a tremendous output of
sugar and cocoanut products, including
copra and cocoanut oils"
