Stealing their cattle from the public
common through which Washington
Boulevard was afterward surveyed.
Fort Shelby, which then conferred
Eb0ut the present site of the post

 AN ALASKAN. Ordinance No. 35, Section 4, as amended by Ordinance No. "A, fully covers this point as follows:
 "The qualifications of voter for mayor, councilmen, city clerk and city treasurer shall be as follows: He or she shall be a citizen of the United States, twenty-one years of age or over who has resided continuously one year next preceding the election in the Territory of Alaska, and six months next preceding the election within the limits of the Town of Cor dova."

ANOTHER MOVE TO CUT DOWN
 CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Another attempt to cut the unwieldy size of the Lower House of Congress is before the national lawmakers.
 Representative John Clarke, New York Republican, believes that the 435 members in the House should be re- duced to approximately onerhalf of that number, and iii bill he has now before the House he would have the reappointment effective after March 3 next, when the fourteenth census will have been taken.
 But, with the cut in membership, Representative Clarke would give those remaining a boost in salary con- tingent however, on frequent re- sponses to roll calls. Any member or delegate who neglects to "sign up" would be penalized $100 for each days absence, except that presentation of a sworn affidavit from a physician that he or member of his immediate family was ill, would void the pen alty.
 The Clarke bill fixes the compensa- tion of the Speaker of the House at $15,000, a raise of $2,500 over present salary schedules. Under it's terms members and delegates would re- ceive $12,000 a year compared with the $7,500 now received by them
 URGES ACTION BY STATES
 The measure would call on the gov ernors, secretaries of state and at tOrney-generals of the various states to reapportion Congressional districts.
 In the rather remote event that Congress approves the Clarke legsla- tion states hereafter would have the following representation in the House
 New York, 22; Pennsylvania, 19; Illinois, 14; Ohio, 12; Texas, 10; Massachusetts and Michigan, 8; Mis- sOuri and California, 2; Georgia, In- diana New Jersey, 6; Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin, , Arkansas, Oklahoma, 4 Connecticut Kansas.

Carolina and West Virginia, 3; Colorado, Florida, Nebraska and Washington, 2; Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Da- kota, Oregon, Rhode Island, s. Da- each.
 Numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure a reapportionment of the House have been made in the past.

Thor Washer.

Without doubt the most important
thing to consider when buying an
electric washer is, HOW does it wash,
What, in other words, is the washing
principle? How can you be sure it
is the best? Forty years of careful
experimenting and costly investiga-
ton has failed to produce a quicker,
more efficient or more economical
washing method than that used by
the THOR-25-the reversing cylinder
principle. All the other desirable fea-
lures of Thor washers, such as cor
rect mechanical construction, size,
appearance, ease of operation and ev-
erything else are subordinate to this
first advantage. Make sure at the
start that the machine you choose en-
plovs this method for it is the prin-
ciple used by all public laundries the
world everywhere speed and thor
oughness are of first Importance. The
reversing cylinder also is used by all
"dry cleaners" for washing the most
delicate fabrics-most of which are
too fine to put in water. Yet-who
ever heard of clothes being damaged
by the dry cleaning method? Wood
en- bars inside the cylinder lift the
clothes through the hot suds and then
drop them back of their own weight
with considerable force-but, at the
same time lifting the next batch and
dropping it. over and over again, as
long as the cylinder revolves and re-
verses. All this time the hot suds
is pouring in and over the clothes
impelled by the steady force of the
motor. Perhaps now you can see
why the Thor-25 washes clothes
clean.

A simple but frequently forgotten

SECURE MOST SPEED
OUT OF AUTOMOBILE
Motor Pulls Best When Throttle
Is Partly Open.
Adjustment Depends on Carburetor
and Particular Make Of Car-Per-
feet Mixture viii Always
Make Strongest Explosion,

The purpose Of q throttle in an au-
tomObile is to control the speed and
power output of the motor. Under
usual conditions the wider the throttle
is opened the greater the speed of the
car and the more horse power the en-
CINE will develop. In theory this should
always be so, but in practice it Is not,
writes G. w. IversOn in the Orange
Judd Farmer. Every experienced
driver knows that under certain con-
ditions the greatest speed and the
most power is not developed when the
throttle Is fully opened but when it is
only partially opened.
In slow heavy pull up a Hill or in
the mud the motor will pull better and
hang on longer If tie throttle Is partly
closed. The same thing is true in
speeding. Just how much to open the
throttle under these conditions de-
ponds upon the adjustment of the car
buretor and the make of the car. U.s.
ually it Is about half the maximum
opening. The driver should expert
ment with his own car and find out
which opening Will be the best for his
own particular car.
The reason for this Is that carburet-
ors are not perfect. If properly ad-
justed for one speed, they will not be
right for another speed. Unless the
motor gets a perfect mixture 1t will
not get the strongest explosion. A
given volume Of air will absorb only a
certain amount Of gasoline vapor. A
mixture containing less vapor than
this will have excess which does not
burn during the explosion. If it has
excess vapor some of the vapor does
not burn. In either case the explo-
sion is weaker than 1t should be.
Keeping the throttle only partly open
tends to correct some Of the faults of
the carburetor and gives more per
feet mixture Try it the next time you
climb long lil on high.
