STRAWBERRIES ARE
 LARGE AS HENS EGGS

"Tell the world that Alaska is far from being a land of snow and ice, as some folks believe was the message accompanying four quarts of luscious Alaska strawberries sent to Seattle from Haines by B. A. Bar nett, agent of the Alaska Steamship Company at that port. The berries were in the nature of a present to Joseph C. Harris, assistant superin- tendent of the Alaska Steamship Company, and were brought to &c., attle by Capt. John Livingstone, mas ter of the steamship Jefferson, which arrived yesterday from the North. MT Barnett sent several boxes of his larger strawberries to President Harding. with the request that they be served at breakfast aboard the naval transport Henderson. Some of the Alaska strawberries presented to the President were as large as hens eggs" Captain Livingstone de- clared.- Seattle Times.)

 "I cannot say that it has. I do not share the views of those who would deprive the people of good beer. I am against the saloon. I am glad that 1t is gone. It never will be restored. but l would be glad to see the enactment of a law that would permit the manufacture and sale of beer.
 "I haven't given the subject deep thought, but l should think it might be feasible. under proper supervis- ion, to manufacture beer and sell it to householders. I think the present law has worked very imperfeetly and in many ways We are worse off than we were before"

 HELENE CHADWICK IS STAR AT PALACE

] Helene Chadwick, beautiful screen actress, got soaked to the skin at the Goldwyn Studios one day, while making scenes for "The Sin Flood,' her latest photoplay. While there were plenty of dry clothes about. nobody offered comfort or assistance. She was left to stand dripping rivu- lets, until the sun dried her.
 That's not as hard-hearted as it seems, even though it is the actual truth. In this startling Goldwyn picture, now the attraction at the Palace. Miss Chadwick plays a part wherein she is rained on. soaked through and through, and then shut up in a water tight room for three days. She has no change of cloth ing, so of course her clothes dry on her, and, says she, We might have faxed 1t, except that the suit wear Is soft silk. and if it actually dried on me 1t would shrink to the lines of my figure. If we dried it on the line. it wouldn't. So I had to play clothes line, because realism is the thing in pictures now

 "I doubt whether any other Presi- dent in histody was quite so attuned to mankind as he. His love of the people was strikingly manifest. The children of Alaska appealed to him strongly.

Because of the smallness of our communities his visit partook an intimate touch that would have been impossible in the crowded world This was the charm ing phase of 1t to him, and Alas kan's may well, in this sad hour, find comfort in the knowledge that no untoward episode or incident marred his journey anywhere.

FRANK CRANE LECTURES
ON WORLDS DELUSIONS

Four decisions are retarding the
progress of the world today. accord
ing to DR.. Frank Crane, who spoke
in the Metropolitan NJ. E. Church
last night.
These delusions," DIR. Crane said,
'are that virtue or goodness is dis
agreeable. that work is an afflic-
ton, that force is effective and that
happiness is obtainable."
Goodness" the speaker continued,
sis positive quantity measurable
in serviceable work done. Achieve
ment and not money is the real
stimulus of activity. Truth. not
force. is the conquering factor in
mans work" The summation of
happiness, he concluded, is a human
fraction, and in this fraction the
numerator. which is service, is to be
most considered DR.. Charles
Mitchell, pastor of the church, con-
cluded the service with benediction.

CLERKS
PLAN FOR PAY
BOOST
Experienced Men Will Ask That
Their Positions Be Made
Permanent.

The secretaries and clerks OF
Capitol Hill have banded together
to boost their salaries.
Disavowing any connection with
the Federation of Federal En-
ployes, or with organized labor,
they have formed an organization
of their own to press the claims of
Redistribution among the House
and Senate employees.
Want Jobs Made Secure.
"Permanency of tenure" is one
of the slogans of the organization.
Many of the more important COM
mittees of the House and Senate al
ready are on this basis. Such men
as Kennedy Rea. clerk of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee, hold
their positions regardless of shifts
of administration.
A horizontal increase in the pay
envelope also is to be asked of Sem
ator Warren, Congressman Madden
and the other powers of the House
and Senate Appropriations Commit
tees. The top salary, the clerks
hope, will be fixed at $500 a
year, instead of at $4,000. as mt
present. The salaries of assistant
clerks and secretaries, which vary
largely according to committees.
are to be stabilized, 1t Is expected,
on generally higher level than
those which prevail at present,
The members of the new or
ganization for the most part are
recruited from the older group of
secretaries at the Capitol, who have
served under numerous Senators
and Congressman. There is dis
position now among the legislators
to recognize the claims of these
men. some of whom have had
legislative experience of more thun.
twenty years standing.
