 AUTOISTS ON HIGHWAY

The .autoists of Seward are deeply indebted to Mayor s. M. Graf to a considerable degree for his foresight edness in providing danger signals O the Kenai Highway. Safety First" is Mayor Graffs motto and he has well cxemplified the meaning by having placed a number of semaphores at the curves and railroad crossings on the highway where the least atom of dan ger may exist. Mounted on white posts and facing the auto driver in either di- rection, are reflectors of about six in
 hes in diameter In daylight the whit posts and silvered reflectors immedi- ately attract attention, warning the autoist of his proximity to 9 curve or crossing; at night the rays from the auto headlights cause the semaphores to throw red ray, and it is blind or reckless driver who will ignore the signals thrown for his benefit.

The karelian revolt began late
in October but the Russian So
viets did not begin active opera
tions against the Karelians until
the latter part Of December.
The territory aceeally occupied
by the insurgents consists only of
about 10000 square miles Of sparse
ly settled forest wilderness, with q
total population only of about 40
900 persons. Raiding bands. how
ever, have dashed on Snowshoes
hundreds Of miles from the occu-

railway. which runs from Muir

blown up several bridges, thus pre-

among the more ignorant Of the
Mohammcdans who believed that
woman had neither brains nor
