 MEDAL FOR BRAVERY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. S.-On the left breast of Austin Denham's Amer ican sailor uniform, which he wore 50 years ago, hangs a bronze naval Congressional Medal of Honor. On the back of the medal is this in- scription:
 For extraordinary heroism, to AUSTIN DEkHAM, Seaman, U. 8. 8. Kansas, Near Greytown, Nicaragua,
 April 12, 1872. Reticent and blushing like a lad, Denham, who has white hair and is seventy-three years old, told with re- luctance of his heroic act, which won him the coveted medal.
 With a group of surveyors aboard, the S. s. Kansas was anchored three miles off Greytown, Nicaragua, prior to the surveyors leaving the ship to chart some dangerous shoals. Hearing a hustle on deck, Denham and he bushes at this part of his story-was a prisoner in the brig for having refused to be drilled un- mercifully by the captain. Boat Overturns A whaleboat had been launched, with seventeen men in it. A mile and a half from the Kansas the white ocean foam was highest and the going" rough. Denham heard his "brig mate" shout: The boats turned over!' Denham's guard left his post, and Denham followed close on his heels.
 A rescue cutter from the Kan sas rushed to their aid, but over turned when it reached the helpless men.
 The skipper called for volunteers to fill second rescue boat Den ham offered his services, but was ordered back to the brig. Soon a wall was heard on deck-the second cutter had met the same fate as the first two.
 A "brig guard" stuck his head in the doorway and told him the cap tain said he would accept Denham's services. Captain CapituIates

Development of Alaskn Is
 Urged by GOUernOr Bone

s.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. g. - Capital and home-centralized government are the prime requisition for develop ment of Alaska, Governor Scott Bone declared today in his annual report The Government should either spend millions in paternalistic spirit or admit private capital upon terms con ducive to investment, he said, and the preliminary of this eventuation must be a simplified and centralized sys- tenn of administration brought closer to Alaska.
 Mot until mining is inaugurated on large and generous scale and indus tries started and permitted to thrive" " he added, twill homesteads find oc- cupants and markets and population multiply and opportunities offer in all directions.
 with medium of the helpfulness given to the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba these past twenty years, Alaska would today be a proud and populated and powerful factor in the national equation"
 Instead, he said, 1t is sparsely in- habited, scenically beautiful, unknown territory, struggling against hard adds due to misleading picturization as a cold, snow-covered, glacier-crowned land.
 Opening ways to the immense in. land wealth of the Territory is. the first step in program of progress which has been started by the Alaska railroad, a line that already has proved it's success and worth. However, the Governor said, water transportation should not be ignored and especially on the Yukon River. The Governor rec commended Government-owned or subsidized line to care for that dis trict
 A summing up of progress made during the year is heartening and bright with promise, the report de- clared. Exports and imports in grow ing volume emphasize expanding in' dustry and returning prosperity. Gus toms figures for the year should show a commercial improvement of at least fifty ner cent
 Alaska is destined to supply in large measure the pulp and print paper needs of America, the report stated, but adverse condition and difficulties of capitalization have delayed the con summation of such projects.
 vesting of complete authority over the fisheries of the Territory in the commerce department was recom' mended.
 Capital should be drawn to Alaska to develop mineral resources, the re- port added, declaring there still was plenty of gold there. It was said also that prospective oil development ana greater coal development promise great returns in the future.

Bob O Links "Eveless Eden" a Big Hit

HIGHLAND PARK, ILL.-Ameri- AA cas- first "Eveless Eden" for golfers has proved an unqualified sue cess. That Is the verdict of the mem- bers of the Bob O Link Country club at Highland Park, which on November II last year voted to exclude women members from the course and even from the clubhouse except on special occasions. And they have reelected c. E. Karlstrom president and have voted to continue the present policy.
 There is no question that the plan has been a success from the standpoint of the 'golfing' golf player, as dis tinguished from the social golf player" declared President Karlstrom. with women barred 1t means time saved because it reduces the number of play CTS, and time means much to the play CT who can get out only two or three times a week and especially to those men who cannot get out until late in the afternoon. Absence of women, too, makes possible the dispensing with some of the conventionalities in the matter of dress during the hottest weather.

q avs of God in Commercial Relations

KANSAS CITY, MO.-A movement AA for the federation of Christian business mems clubs throughout the United States has been inaugurated here at a conference of business men from more than fifteen of the larger cities of the country.
 "The conference was called for the purpose of establishing closer rela- tionships among the thirty clubs now formed, and of inspiring and assisting the formation of other clubs" said Francis J. Gable, editor of the Chris tan Business Man and leader in the movement. The program calls for the organization of approximately one hundred clubs within year. The De troit Christian Business Mems club has extended an invitation to hold the proposed convention in Detroit early in 1923.
 The conference here was opened with an address of welcome by Robert L. Cross, president of the Business Mems Christian unity of Kansas City, and response was made by Albert Wood. president of the Mems Unity club of Detroit. Other speakers on the

 It was to protect the islands as a refuge for the gulls, in fact, that led MT. Hatch to turn them over to the Geological society. For more than thirty years he has maintained them as such, and many and wOndrous are the narratives he can tell concerning the gulls and their social and ecO- homie life, gained by him through per sonal observation. "They are the most intelligent birds in the world" he said.
 One of the first steps the society probably will take in its studies, 1t was disclosed, will be an attempt to capture the serpent of Lake Cham plain." Stories concerning this am phibian reptile have been current about Lake Champlain for nearly POO years.
 According to these narratives, the "serpent" is at least fifty feet long. has an armor covering of thick scales and sharp horns, and is topped with a head about the size and shape of a barrel. It Is supposed to make Its home in a submerged cavern near Thompson's Point, coming up for air two or three times a year and giving the summer resorters thrill.

Mother Tracks Down Her Kidnapped Baby

Mrs. Travis, after searching for weeks, found where the Penson woman had last lived. Finally she was re- warded. The janitor received a mes sage from the Penson woman asking that her mail be forwarded to a place in Florida. Mrs. Travis caught the next train. She found her husband had tired of the Penson woman and fled, leaving the child with her. The Penson woman and baby also had dis appeared.
 From place to place Mrs. Travis tracked the pair. Finally she learned the Penson woman was travelling alone. Back Mrs. Travis went over the old route and finally learned the child had been carried into the Everglades. Thither she followed.
 She travelled alone through reptile infested swamps, slept in deserted cabins, and walked miles over jungle paths through which not even a fiivver could thread its way. Five days later she found the girl in a remote shack living with an old Negro couple, whom the Penson woman had given A dollar or two for the girls care.

The power of mind over matter has been discussed since mankind found it. self.
 Epictetus, the Roman slave, knew much about it; so did Marcus Aure- Illus; Bishop Berkeley of England had his theory; in our day and country it has been made much of by many per sons. The latest advocate is Emile Cone, the French exponent of auto suggestion.

"When we voted to make the club real golf club, instead of partly a golf club and partly social club. there was no real club spirit. And there was a lot of dissatisfaction. Social activities were vielng with golf. The vote to make 1t exclusively golf club was almost unanimous. It created great excitement and there was some adverse comment from women.
 But the membership has increased to its limit of 255 and there is an im- posing waiting list. At the same time expenses have been reduced, because it was the social feature which kept expenses up."

When I was boy was very fond of succotash, and down in New Eng. land years ago we were told that it was made as the Indians made it, just pole beans and corn boiled together, and maybe it wasn't good!
 In travelling around the country at various hotels I often ask for succo- tash especially at this season of the year when the beans and corn arc just right, but what offerings arc placed before me under the name of succotash!
 In many parts of the country lima beans are used in making succ0tash, but I don't think the Indians tneW anything about lima beans.
