The Wrangell sentinel., 1922-05-11

Miss Catherine Matheson scored the greatest number of points in the literary part of the Meet for the Wrangeil school, 5. Miss Matheson was an easy winner. Oliver Johnson had the largest number of ribbons for track events of the Wrangell en- trants, four, one first (relay), two seconds, (220 yard dash and F mile rum and one third GOO yard dash.) John Coulter and Edward Loftus were easy winners in the high jump and pole vault respect lively.
 Livingstone Desmond was injured on the head and had his clothing torn in a collision with an automobile while riding bicycle on the Thane road last Sunday few hours before leaving Juneau. He was taken to St. Ann's where Dr. Devighne gave him medical attention, and was able to leave on the Alameda as planned. Local and visiting school officials and teachers were entertained at dinner Thursday evening in the Do- mestic Science room of the Juneau school. About 35 were present. The color scheme throughout was yellow and delicious meal was serv- ed bby school girls under teh direc- tion of the Domestic Science teacher Miss Eloise Jackson. The P. T. A. reception to visitors and local people, at which fine program was given, followed later in the evening, and all who wished were given an opportunity to inspect some fine ex- hibits in the school room.
 A great deal of kindly courtesy was shown the Wrangell vlsitors by Juneau people. Individually and in groups, they were entertained de- lightfully by former Wrangell people and other friends and the week was a very full one.
 
 Telephoning was the favorite i'm door sport of the Wrangell pupils in Juneau for several days after their arrival in the Capital City. Dis- tance mattered not nor the conven-
  more fun to call up the fellow in the adjoining room over the phone than than to see him personally. The clerk who made the connection down stairs was a model of good nature.

HEAT AND COLD CONTROL.

a successful means of protecting
fruit trees against extreme cold and
heat has been arrived at after ex-
tenSive eXpcrmitS with iron, ac-
cording to announcement made by
w. NJ. HOitZma, of California, land
Scape gardner. Merely to hang q
piece of the mineral in tree is suf
ficent to minimize the icy breath of
Jack Frost or the Shivcling beams of
Old Sol. The iron hanging in the
tree abSorbS the cold or heat and
stores it within itself, which the tree
and foliage would otherwise have
to do. Heitzman stated he tried
this system last year on trees and
it met with absolute success, and
also claims that by his method the
effect Of a freezing temperature
could be made that of tcmpcra
turc approximately 40 degrees warm
er. The principle of this scheme
could be applied TO flower bcdsby
placing of iron filings among the
flowers.

SEEING IHR0UGH.

No bad system can survive the
process known as "secing through
it." TO do this to it is like putting
hole through it. Honest, under
standing eyes bore through a wrong
system like hot irons, honeycomb-
ing it with weakening tunnels. To
"sec through" aything is to let light
and lightning into it; the action of
insight is inevitably destructive of
evil systems. What hidden and
mysterious force may. be connected
with the process of seeing through
a thing We do not know, but it is
beyond question that penetration by
tine understanding mind that sounds
the doom of all dishonest or dis
trcss causing systems. People want
to fight against them, make speeches
against them, vote against them. but
the most destructive work that can
be wrought upon evil systems is lust
to see through" them, understand

BECKLEY-H ROAD.

The West Virginia State Road
Commission in decision announc-
ed last week will route the State
highway from Bccklcy to Hinton
over the originally planned road be
tween the two cities. That is the
road selected by the commission
will go from Bccklcy to McCormickS
store thence over White Oak noun
tain and on to Hinton instead Of
through Shady Spring to Jumping
Branch and on to Hinton. The de
cision to put the road over White
Oak mountain and straight into
Hinton will meet the approval of
the great majority of the people of
Richmond district. who otherwise
would have had little benefit from
the road. 1t will provide a better
outlet for them and will also give
more mileage to Raleigh county.
Then it is shorter By three miles.
These were the arguments which
led many of Raleigh county people
to support it rather than the longer
route, although that was claimed to
be over better grade.

WEEKS FOR LARGER ARMY.

The unShakcn opinion Of Secre
tary Weeks and his military advisers
that the nations military policy
cannot be adequately sustained with
Il regular army of less than $4,000
officers and l50,0UO men was again
laid before President Harding BY
the War Secretary who was accom-
panied on his visit to the White
House by General Pcrshin9.

ing for total appropriations Of 1929
2S1.3SO as compared with current
appropriations of S34U,SSl.l22. The
army budget however. still must be
approved by the director of the
budget. The war secretary made it
plain that he had not changed his
belief that the present army of 12,-
900 officers and 125,000 men could
not fulfill all Of the missions pre-
scribed by the national defense act.
The new estimates do not provide
for an increase in the regular force
above these figures, but Mr.. Weeks
has officially expressed the Judge
ment of the War Department that
only the most urgent reasons for
national economy would warrant
continuing the army at that reduced
