LET'S PUT DUR STAKE
 ON THE YOUNGSTERS

(An editorial in Golfers, The Ma tional Weekly, for April 14, 1923)
 By action of its leaders the Nation al Education Association has for the fifth time endorsed the Towner-Ster- ling Bill for Federal aid and guidance in the schools. Despite the efforts of Wilmington and his successors, our national government has never done anything like it's fair share of the Americas work of educatios. So long as we spend three-quarters or more of every tax dollar on war, past, present. or to come, just so long we shall be unable to do as we wish by our schools. For three hundred years statecraft has robbed the future for the sake of present armament. The one big job for our nations leaders today is to take the money out of war and put it into the schools Quit betting on gunpowder and bet on the kids. That is plain and simple program, and it can be carried out. It will do more than we can dream to establish better and happier human life here in our country.
 The citizen whom this educational statesmanship must enlist on it's side is everybody old enough to know what the teachers are trying to do. Government aid and leadership do not mean more government schools, but better local schools. The real idea of model public instruction and a Federal Department of Education at Washington, D. C., is merely to inn prove what's being done in the grades at Rumpus Ridge, Arkansas, and Rough Gap, Montana. The states and, even more. the districts them selves must shoulder the work for better schooling. They will not de- serve or get the right results until they do. The immense field to be titled cannot be covered from Wash ington, but Washington can and should take the lead. The Towner- Sterling Bill ought to be urged per sistently on the next Congress. begin- ming now. so as to keep the school is- sue to the front in our battle. for a better civilization.

DRAMATIC RIDE PAST
 DAWSON IN GREAT JAM
Three Little Caribou Pass City In
 Midst Of Great Ice Run

A dramatic spectacle was presented shortly before noon on May 10, when three little caribou went riding past Dawson on cake of ice in the midst of the mighty crash of the frozen ele- ment.
 The river was bankful of swirling, grinding ice floes, all moving at a rapid pace downstream. Here and there amid the tumbling mass was a piece. of ice that rode on serenely, scarcely changing or disturbed for the time by the mass about it. On one of such pieces were the three caribou, beautiful little fellows, ap- parently mere calves.
 They doubtless were crossing the Yukon river on the ice some miles above town when the great breakup ceme, and, being unable to make shore, took refuge on the one big piece on which they were seen as they swept on past Dawson-on more like ly to their doom. It seemed impossi- ble that in the midst of so much ice, some pieces weighing tons, and far out in the river, practically in the middle, that they ever could. escape alive. AS rule, the ice keeps on moving until it wears itself out Sometimes it jams before a large piece will be smashed. It is not like ly that the piece on which the little caribou were riding found safe lodgment, for the river ran heavy with ice'past Dawson for hours after ward. Should the ice jam with the one particular piece bearing the carl bou, they might find footing on which to make shore, but more than likely in the jam pieces of ice would turn over and the fellows be lost in the mericiless crash.
 If three little caribou were caught crossing above Dawson, it is likely many more caribou were in the vicin- ity at the time, and possibly whole herd was on the ice and that others went down and were lost and the three that passed here were survivors of tragedy that overlook large band of the beautiful animals.
 Many people were along the water front and witnessed the passing of the caribou on the ice, and some few obtained photographs. It was a beautiful, clear, sunny day. The last seen of the caribou they still were standing calmly on the ice cake as it swept around the bend and past Moosehide and on toward Boring Sea, with old Death as pilot, and the sun smiling his gentlest on the silent vic tims of impending tragedy. - Dawson News

Marked Increase Shown
In Worlds Tonnage
By Late Register.
By r. NJ. SARL.

LONDON, Aug. ia marked IN
crease in the worlds total tonnage
since June, 1914. Is revealed by the
latest edition of "Lloyd's Register"
which shows how the world has made
up for h ravages of war.
The total tonnage of sea-going iron
and steel steamers and motor vessels
owned by the principal maritime coun-
tries OF tina world in June. 1923. was
1895, 900 tons compared with "a, 6o4,-
900 tons in June. 1914.
The largest contributor to this In
crease is the United States. with TO-
$4,000 tons; while Japan t.7eo. 900;
Italy 1880. 900: are next IN order.
Great Britain's share of the increase
is almost negligible for a country with
such a s~hipbuilding record, amounting
TO but 200 900 gross.
England Failing Of.
The percentage of world shipping
owned by Great Britain has fallen
from AN per cent in 1914 to So per

war days. almost a negligible factor.
has Jumped into second place. with

12.41s.ooo tons)
Despite prevailing economic condi-
lions in Germany, that country has
made remarkable strides since 1920.
Germany's pre@war maritime fleet had
n tonnage of 5.45s. 2ss tons, but this
has fallen to 672. ST. tons in 1920. To
day. however. the figure is given as
2.bso,o73 tons, indicative of the ire
mendous effort put forth by Germany
to regain lost maritime prestige.
Among the interesting mass of In.
formation listed by Lloyd's the grad
ual suppression of coal by oil fuel is
indicated. In 1914 1884 per cent of
h worlds shipping relied exclusively
on coal. but in 1923 the figures Ind
dropped to 6s.s7 Der cent. Oil fuel for
boilers in the same period rose from
2.65 to 24.23 per cent. while oil, etc.
for internal combustion engines rose
from 0.45 to 2.56 per cent Ships re-
lying on sail power only now muster

Great Britain still occupies pride of
place for ship-construction. more than
half the tonnage now building in the

ally have tho most new tonnage, the
