SOHlc Oue LO take the 1UlCIdClVo. Here is an opportunity for real service We take pride in being an American city. AS such we must have base ball team, and we can afford to properly equip the boys who have al- with the necessary outfit, the results would be assured. All it needs is and enthusiasm, and have afforded so much real pleasure to the pub lie in the pears gone by. Let's all get together on behalf of the team and start something to get them what they need.
 "Now is the time, the walrus said,
 to think of many things,
 Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax, of cabbages, and kings"
 Cordovans are not entirely inter- ested in the physical side of life. The other part of man is not being neglected Witness the organization last week by group of Our Folks who have passed the basketball age but have reached the time of life when the intellectual pleasures have the greatest appeal of Literary Club There promises to be as much interest and enthusiasm shown by these older folk in their literary ramblings, as their younger brothers take in shooting basket from a difficult angle. The program as so far outlined promises that there will be no dull moments during the club meetings. The first book to be di- gested, and the club will read only such books as deserve to be chewed and digested, is the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Then comes Notlav's "The Rise of the Dutch Republic" and later "The diary of Samuel Pepys." There will be some excursions into "Plato and Plutarch's Lives" A short portion of every ss- sion will be devoted to poetry and here the members are to be free to ramble where theid individual tenden- cies will take them The gentle iourneyings of the club members throuph the rich valleys and on the splendid mountain tops of literature promise some hours of rare enjoy ment
 Among the projected organizations which are being considered, one which the town really needs is a Ski Club. We have in Cordova some splendid devotees of this sport, men who learned the game in Norway and Switzerland, and love it for it's own sake. The rise of this sport in pub lie esteem during the last few years has been enormous. It's popularity has grown by leaps and bounds, and deservedly so. In Alaska, with it's long winters, and especially in the coastal area, which experiences no untoward rigors of weather, the con- ditions are good for the enjoyment of skiing. It is like golf, suitable for any age, for one can make it as strenuous as one pleases. It has however many advantages over golf, both from the standpoint of pleasure and of exercise. It is believed that properly organized Ski Club would give great impetus to the interest in the sport. Such a club could fea- ture properly conducted tours un- der the leadership of men skilled in mountaineering and snow conditions. The club would also be a great factor in assisting the beginners by furnish ing the benefit of expert advice and experience.

Unable to Agree

Los Angeles. Mar. 19-The jury in
the case of Mrs. Madalynne Oben-
chain. charged with the murder of
j. Bolton Kennedy, reported to
Judge Sidney n. Reeve. at 7.49 to-
night that it was unable to reach an
agreement, and was discharged.
The jurors were hopelessly divid-
ed according to their reports to
Judge Reeve.
Each was asked separately wheth-
err there was any chance of agree
ment. Each replied that there was
none"
The foreman to the judge the di-
vision was nine to three, but, under
the law. did not say whether the ma
jority favored conviction or acquittal.
Most of the jurors after they were
discharged We're reluctant to talk
with newspaper men. One threw a
reporter out of the way when he
sought information as to whether the
majority favored acquittal or convic-
ton. Il guess I've got some rights
as a citizen" the juror shouted.
Another juror said the nine fav-
ored conviction and that the division
had been on that basis from the first
| ballot.
| Judge Reeve reset the case for
next Tuesday, March 81, when he
said he would set the day for the
new trial.
| Mrs. Obenchain was in court when

and worried.

Too Many Drugs BUDAPEST

The Director of the Budapest mu-
| nIcipal hospitals has issued to the
! medical stiff of all the Budapest
municipal hospitals a curious circu-
lar. in which he complains of extrav-
agance in the treatment of patients
especially as regards certain drugs
| which he would have suppressed, or
at least prescribed sparingly or re-
placed by cheaper articles, writes
| the Budapest correspondent of the
/ journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. He calls particular attcn-
ton to morphine 10000 crowns per
: kllogram), osmic acid (25.Cue
! crowns) and pilocarpn (35, 600
,, crowns). AS regards this latter, he
suggests that it could be conveniently
replaced by tincture of jaborandl.
+, For codein, which in the last six
years passed from to 40 ky. a year
and its price from 400 to 10000
crowns per kilogram. he considered
that opium 100000 crowns) could
DC substituted. He called particular
| attention to the high price of digital-
IN. hyoscyamin, hydrastinin, ply
sostlgmin, atropin, apomorphn,
acohltin, cocain and quinn. and
asked that the greatest economy
should be observed in prescribing
them He thought that consider
able economy could be made in alCo-
none preparations. The annual cx-
pense for spirits of camphor was
$4,000 crowns; that of pure alcohol
used in the nron,r,t;on of ,iro,ur,c
iiniments, etc, was 100000 Crowns;
the quantity of ether consumed year
~ amounted to 100000 crowns.

model was divorced in September
last from Lieut.. Commander VIM. D.
Thomas, U. S. n. Acquaintance said
she had many admirers and was in
the habit ofentertaining lavishly.
A few days before her death she
showed to a young woman friend a

when she was through with life"
Wharton said she had shown him
two bottles. one containing perfume.

one of suicide. began an investiga-

| the certificates are to bear. namely
October /, 1922. With large force
of clerks and the best expert as
sistancCs possible, comparatively few
certificates could be issued by that

parent"
I'm estimating the political effect
of the support of this BILL" the re-
port continued, "it would seem that
| a rank injustice is being done the
intelligence and patriotism of the en-
service men. 1t seems to be as
sumcd that because each individual
veteran is to receive a slight pecun-
larry reward, therefor, he and his
friends will in turn reward those W o
vote it and punish those who do
not, regardless of what the effect OF
the legislation upon the country as a
whole may be. We believe this is
unjust and untrue"

Beautiful scenes are common in the
motion-picture studios. and many
mechanical effects are produced
which fairly dazzle the eye of the
onlooker. AS a climax to an I'M
usually gorgeous set" director
recently called for a dance in the
midst of soap bubbles. Accordingly.
since a space 90 by 40 fl. had been
designated to be filled with the
frothy substance, a metal sieve of
this size was fitted in the floor \
soap solution, made with 200 Dbl. of
the product and mixed in the same
manner as plasterers prepare lime,
was piped to the porous floor, and
steam forced through it. The i'm

gan. and these soon rose to huge
scintillatin6 mass, in which the
dancers performed, the whole pre-
senting. according to illustration and
description in the March Popular

when she was driven to choose between
Larsen and love and rich friends and

getting high, no matter how cold
it is, and when went to the chicken
