PTARMIGAN so NUMEROUS
 BREAK TELEGRAPH LINES

Superintendent Henry Weir of the Fairbanks Telephone Company says that for the past two months his line man has been engaged practically con- tinuously in keeping the long distance line in condition. Along Cleary sum- init poles have often blown down and wires crossed. Strangely many of the breaks were not due to wind but to ptarmigan, which have been so plenti- full as to be a nuisance The birds fly into the wires striking with such force they are put out of commission Wads of feathers are a common sight among the iron wires and birds are often picked up from the ground
 The ptarmigan during certain condi- tions of the weather are restless and are much on the wing flying back and forth on the summits in large flocks It is said when a flock strikes the tele- phone lines those hitting 1t are often killed, while the birds striking the wire midway between the poles are usually dazed, probably dropping to the ground where they soon recover except for the plumage left on mid air.
 In case 1t is broken wing or tail feathers lost the ptarmigan is in sorry plight and is doomed to snowshoe it for the remainder of the winter- Fairbanks News-Miner.

JAZZ MUSIC HAS
 HAS BAD EFFECT { YOUNG PERSONS
ILLINOIS VIGILANCE ASSOCiA- TON SAYS NERVE IRRITAT- ...-
 ING AND SEx-ExcITING

CHICAGO, Jan. 27,-Moral disaster is coming to thousands of young girls in America through the pathological, nerve-irritating, sex-exciting music of jazz orchestras, according to the mem bers of the Illinois Vigilance Commit tee which has instituted crusade to arouse parents, churches and schools to te danger to young womanhood
 In Chicago alone the associations representatives have traced the fall of one thousand girls in the last two years to jazz music.
 Girls in small towns, as we'll as in | the big cities in poor homes and in rich homes are victims of the weird, insidious, neurotic music that accom- panies modern dancing.
 "The degrading music is common not only in disorderly places, but often to high school affairs, to expensive ho- tels and society circles" declares the | IlCF Hl1Ilp dlloW, Ol the association, who has prepared a preliminary report dealing with the problem.
 The report says that the society has no desire to abolish dancing, but seek to awaken the public conscience to the present danger and future conse- quences of jazz music. Referring to the investigations of the socity Rev. Yarrow says:
 "The demoralizing part played by jazz music and dancing in the expert ence of these girls was repeatedly DOT trayed in their pitiful stories. To ob- serve the final fruits of the jazz music route one must visit a big dance floor in Chicago's Second Ward. Here in vestigators for the association found the ligocal continuation of so-called modern dances.
 Mid the distracting notes of the saxaphone and the weird beat of the | tom tom was witnessed conduct not hitherto seen outside the old red light | district In full view of the audience which included many boys and girls apparently in their teens the couples on the floor gave way to almost ev- cry form of indecency.
 Dancers violently threw their arms around each other, frequently assum- ing immoral pastures. Lights were lowered and the strains of syncopated music actions that are indescribale took place. This is the full Towering the fruition of the modern erotic music which has so crazed and befud- dled the moral makeup of young peo ple"
 | The Rev. Yarrow says 1t is the duty of parents, churches, and schools to know the manner in which the young people are dancing and having learned this they should enlist in a movement for wholesome, normal music and clean dancing"

THE OLD
SWIMMING HOLE

The time will come when we
shall regard a swimming pool as
necessary an adjunct to a COM
munity as we now regard bank
or a library. As an institutions
for rounding out the physical
health Of the young and for the
conservation Of juvenile morals
it possesses very large possibili-
ties.
The outdoor swimming pool is
the best, that which approx
mates natures arrangements
rather than the refined indoor
affair." Swimming at its best
! IS a plunge into child life and
if surrounded by natural seen
cry it is far more likely to satisfy
the demands Of the juvenile na-
ture.
In general there are three ideas
to consider in the management
of the swimming place, whether
it be @Sout along the creek" or
in modern gymnasium. These
are safeguarding against infec~
ton and i'll health, and the safe
| guarding Of the morals.
AS 9 matter Of fact, there is lit.
tie danger Of infection from the
water Of the outdoor pool, which
is part Of the time in the sun
light. The swimmers constantly
stir and aerate the water. A
chemical test Of a big stagnant
pool where 200 had been SWIM
ming daily for a month showed
no bad effects
Even a muddy pool IN the
creek is better than none. Chill
dren will enjoy even this and
may derive much good from lis
use. The idea Of "dog days.
in August being bad time to 90
in swimming has very little fact
to support it, if other things are
well managed. Not merely
swimming and wading, but stay
ing in the water too long is the
couse Of detriment to the health
Of children.
Hot weather diet and i'll treat
ment thin the blood and lower
the power of resistance Of the
child. He is now more easily
chilled and may come out Of the
water without having the proper
skin reactions. Brief, vigorous
swimming and wading and
quick scrubbing down will pre-
vent much Of the possible i'll eff,
fects Of swimming in Ndog
days."
In time the swimming pool will
come under the management Of
the school authorities where it
belongs and will be maintained
through public funds. Many
communities are slowly going
over to this system.
But while We are waiting fo~
the public to act, voluntary COM
mlttees might go on with this
valuable course of training

Low Down on LayL
Laundry Is That
He Ran a Still

HOBOKEN, N. J.. Dec. 15.-
Lay Low. slant-eyed son Of the
laundry industry, failed to live
up to his name, especially when
folks presumably failed to keep
clean enough to suit him.
Business was SO bad that Lay
probably figured that one could
never have q life Of ease, filled
with many pots Of tea, pipes, and
rice, by pushing a flatiron. Then
Lay. according to the police, con-
yerted an idle washtub into a
still.
Queues of folks suddenly began
to visit Lays place with bundles
that might have contained
clothes, and detectives figured
the low-down on Lay Lows bust
ness was not all laundry.
Lay was arrested, and is being
held for trial, while Sing Lee
and Muk Jux were seized as ma
terial witnesses.

MARSHAL CAUSES BREAK IN
PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT
mo Job for a Woman" Says
Mrs. Bertha Ward, Handing
Her Star to a Man.

The nations first complete petticoat
city government Is no more, for Mrs.
Bertha Ward, village marshal of Des
Laos, N D., has resigned because the
hob was too tough" as she explained
In submitting her resignation to the
remainder Of the feminine city "moth-
ers." Mrs. Ward has handed over
her polished star to Daniel Olson mus
cular section foreman here, who now
swings the lead-loaded billy and pre-
serves order in the village.
Mrs. Wards reasons for reslgning
were concise and to the point.
No. was that her husband thought
the job was too hazardous for the
consideration and second, the job was
never intended for a woman of small
stature.
Lack of physical prowess went
against me-" declared Mrs. Ward.
Drunken persons and others would
Just laugh at me, and / was almost
helpless to do anything"
Meanwhile CONSERVATION reigns
among the other women officials OF
Des Laos. To the outside world they
are afraid that the resignation looks
like their regime is a failure. They
tried to prevail upon Mrs. Ward to
remain in Office until the next village
election, but she chad had enough"
she told them.
Mrs. Ward did not make any arrests
while she was in office. She tried to
make one, but the man who was act
ing In a disorderly manner jerked
away from her and ran. She tele-
phoned to Deputy Sheriff @. P, Van
denoever at Minot, the county seat,
but when he arrived it was found that
the justice Of the peace did not have
a warrant blank; so the sleepy deputy,
reused In the middle of a nights
slumber, journeyed back to Minot and
the arrest was not effected.
"It's a mans job, without doubt"
declares Mrs Ward. II couldn't be
prevailed upon again to accept such
position"

SIOUX CLIMB ON THE WAGON
indian Temperance Society Formed at
Fort Totten Reservation.

Fort often reservation.
The Volstead urge has hit the Sioux
nation. At least, it has hit the old
braves, who have come to the conclu-
sion something must be done to keep
the younger ones sober.
Therefore, the Sioux Indians sta
toned on the Fort Totten reservation
in North Dakota have organized the
Indian Temperance society, whose
purpose it is to induce the younger
Indians and those older ones who still
think they need fire water to get on
the Volstead wagon
The first act of the temperance So
ciety was to call upon Police Chief
Peter Timboe Of Devils Lake and ask
his cooperation. A number of younger
Sioux braves, when they drive into
Devils Lake, have been in the habit
Of buying lemon and vanilla extract,
and other things containing alcohol.
The Indians requested the police
chief to use his influence to prevent
the various merchants or others In
the city selling extract or canned heat
to the Indians, and they offered to
enlist themselves as special officers
to arrest the young Indians for intoxi-
cation.

HIDE BOOZE IN FURS
Liquor Leaves British Columbia
0stensibIy for Mexico.
6ootleggers Take Advantage Of Excep-
tionalIy Heavy Shipments Of Furs
to Eastern PoInts-Ruse 10
Discovered.

Vietoria.-British Columbia has ex-
perienced bootlegglng in it's original
and best known form and also so-called
bOOtlegging In furs, but now there APP
pears to be a combination of the two,
and officials Of the provincial liquor
board are disturbed by reports intimat-
Ing that bonded liquor, carefully
packed in pelts, Is being shipped to dry
Ontario in the guise Of local fur ship
ments.
Shipment Of furs to eastern points
has been exceptionally heavy lately,
and this fact links up with the thread
of the story unfolded by those who
have been investigating British Col
umbias latest liquor scandal.
The story also fits in with the mys-
terry of the liquor-laden schooners
which leave British Columbia ports for
Mexico and other distant countries and
never seem to find their destination.
Briefly, this is the belief of the in
vestigators
In the first place. it is quite legal
to purchase liquor In British Columbia
as long as the government sells it. It
is also legal to export liquor from
British Columbia, and lately large
quantities have been sent out ostens-
IDLY to Mexico In bond on the under
standing that duty would be paid on
arrival in Mexico. The liquor, how
ever, seldom reaches that destination,
and one good reason is that Mexico
could probably import liquor from 9TH
er countries a good deal cheaper than
she could from British Columbia,
which must import most of its hard
stuff from distant points anyway.
Apparently the liquor ships, after
once getting out to sea, head north
ward again and their cargo eventually
reaches q British Columbia port such
as Prince Rupert. The cargo being
in bond is not disturbed except by the
agents Of the ring" Furs are
wrapped around the liquor, and when
the job is completed the bundles are
such as to pass the eye of the most
jealous railway official as just so much
furs labeled for some eastern city,
usually Toronto.
The ruse was discovered when one
OF the shipments was held up on &C.
count Of overweight and reclassified
when the shipper protested. The liquor
was found hidden in the furs.
