MISS WY0MINC' IS
 NO LONGER MISS

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 20. - The Vests trademark is stolen, and all the West can do is laugh 1t off and offer congratulations. No one has purloined the Rockies or Great Salt Lake, or the Yellowstone, but the lit tie god of romance has made off with the spurred, booted, leather-skirted and sombreroed human trademark of the range country. Miss Wyoming" is bride.
 Introduced to- the country at first as the beautiful cowgirl of the State Of Wyoming's widely published off cial poster announcing the silver an. niversary of it's famous frontier days rodeo three years ago, Miss, Wyom- ing" became 8 national celebrity a year later, when, as her States off. cial courier she went East bearing | It's invitation to the President, Gov ernors of many states and mayors of numerous great cities. She was re- ceived at the White House, enter tained as one of them by the coun. try's notables and feted by the na- tion's wealthiest. Through it all she remained the unspoiled Western maid.
 It was in New York, at the height of her fame, that she declared she liked Eastern men, but that when she chose a husband, it would be a son of the great West. Because" said she, when Western man tells YOU something he has his brand on it and means what he says"
 When handsome young Joseph Kremke, prominent railroad official, of Laramie, Wyoming, told her some thing, she proved that not only the men but the women of the West as well, mean what they say" She believed him, and she's Mrs. Kremke now and radiantly happy over it.

landS Reports have reached Washington indicating that unless Congress soon adopts remedial legislation, as the Alas kans consider it, they will proceed to es- tablish commonwealth with the same sort of relation to the American Republic that the Irish Free State has to the United Kingdom. The new political entity would ruthlessly take possession of all the pub- lie resources of the Territory and would assume entire control of local government, but would be willing to recognize itself as a part of the American group in the in- ternstional system and refrain from es- tablishina diplomatic relations with other nations, leaving all it's foreign affairs to Washington. -. R.. .s&
 It was about year ago that the first talk of a modified form of secession of Alaska was heard-but little attention was paid to it. Now the secession talk pre- ceeds from more responsible quarters. Disappointed that the development of Alaska has proceeded so slowly and that hope has been so long deferred of re- beating the spectacular growth of other sections of the United States, the Alaskan settlers are represented as being convinced that they must make coup of some sen sational nature that will result in home rule Alaska can not follow the example of Texas and revolt against foreign government to get into the United States, so 1t talks of revolting against the Gov ernment at Washington in the hope of in- iectng itself into the United States. The Fascist have captured Italy on a bluff, and the Alaskans may get Alaska by talking of starting secession. At least that is what those who are desrous of throw ing Alaska wide open would have us be lievc is about to happen.

SOME MORE NONSENSE

Back in Washington, D. C.. there is an indi- vidual named Theodore M. Knappen. He IS listed as the staff correspondent of the Sun set Magazine And in the January issue he has an item inquiring ''Will Alaska Secede?'' Probably intended seriously, the article be- comes |; regular comic supplement for Alas kans who feel sorry for man who is capable of writing sufficiently well to secure space in a national periodical and who nevertheless will allow any one to fill him up with such truck.
 The question of MT. Knappen and his ar tico arc so ridiculous that they do not need denial. The article will just go with those other hundreds of thousands of folios of mis- information that have been written on Alaska by mer who know nothing about it.
 Knappen's article is given iii full, and is as follows:

COLLEGES AND PATRIOTISM

Recent conventions of college secret SO cietics in Washington and the tone of many of the addresses made by some of the repre- sentativcs indicates the need of more Ameri- canism in our colleges and universities. Most of the propaganda in favor of free trade and the cancellation of the debts owing us. from Europe as we'll as an entrance of the United States into League of Nations, albeit through tEe back door, comes from our colleges and Universities.
 What is the reason for this? Are the pro fessors and instructors in the institutions of learning less patriotic than the citizens elscwhereo Have the professors and nstruc tors different view and understanding of the institutions and the mission of America, from what the average citizen entertains? Do they possess superior knowledge?
 The true explanation lies in the.fact that most professors and instructors teach theo- retica'y and from a cosmic point of view. They make themselves believe that they are looking after the welfare of the United States bv teaching the doctrine that the whole world is a unit, and that the United States should act universally, not nationally This is the thci1y Of science and physics.
 Nearly every instructor in political econ orlv in tho colleges and universities teaches from the text books of pronounced intorna- tona!sts.
 Nor is it difficult to teach un-Amcrican doctrines and traditions, when many of our modern text books and histories are re- written with all historic heroes and heroic Ievellts either emasculated or omitted alto oether Foreign lecturers arc getting into our colleges and universities, telling the stu dents how far behind America is, and how mistaken al tlhe writers of American history have been throughout these many years.
 Not few of the products of these theoreti- cal teachers and instructors are established in the Government Departments, promoting their m- m-American ideas and principles Thus the deeds of the college and university instruc- tors live on after them, to plague the country. It is immaterial what college and unlver- sitv instructors or professors think about these matters; but it is very material what they teach the young men and women. It IS a great pity, if not a peril, that so many young men and women in our educational in stitutons are being bereft of their real Amcrl- canis,n bv the un-American ideas taught thCm by certain instructors tinctured with foreign notions and perhaps influenced by insidlouS Ipropaganda distributed for purpose. Why not establish a chair of American patriotism in every college and university in the land?

THE NEW REGULATIONS

The first squeal from fishing interests whose toes have been stepped on by the new Fish cries regulations has been voiced this week in tho protest of certain managers of canner- ies to the Westward, with the cry that the new regulations favor the "big interests. !" The protest was, of course, inevitable. Some one, said the head of the Pioneer Packing Company yesterday, had to be hurt. That the "big interests'' should be blamed for it is characteristic.
 It happens that the case in point presents precisely the situation for which regulations the best of modern equipmonv represents an sociation and the Northwestern Fisheries Com panv have canneres at Karluk River where are imperative The Alaska Packers As investment of more than a million dollars. For many years these two companies were bitter competitors, each striving to outdo the other in size of pack. As result, the Karlulz River, which was one of the finest salmon streams in the world, became aarmingly de- pleted. Faced with the destruction of their source of supply, the two companies at last got together, formed a friendly agreement, limiting their respective packs and instituting other conservation methods which the Govern ment was powerless to impose. The effect has been a large and steady annual increase in the salmon run, and Karluk River today is again the finest salmon stream in Alaska. Last summer, however, certain smaller can nery interests, having cannerles from sixty to eighty miles distant from Karluk, imported crews of purse seiners who invaded the Kar- lux district, taking from it an enormous pack, with the result that for the first time in sev eral years the run in Karluk River short. These are the canners that are protesting t}ie "monopoly'' of the F'big interests"
 The regulation that restricts the operations of canneries to their own respective districts is just and equitable one, Cannery interests representing large Investments and paying taxes accordingly, are entitled to protection for their sources of supply. The invasion of such districts by other companies having no investment there, paying no taxes and subject to no control over their operations, is as fatal to the salmon supply as it is to the established canncrics Such methods arc indiscriminato and piratical, and iustifiable by mo- principle of equity or right.
 The effect of the voluntary restrictions ob- served by the two companies at Karluk is a graphic illustration of what proper re@uja- tion will do for the salmon industry as whole. That the Government has at last power to institute such regulations is the first piece of constructive conservation that has been achieved If, as Mr. HaIfertv says. in justices are done by the new regulations, they should be promptly rectified But there should be no notification of the principle behind those regulations in any readjustment that may be made.

Tests Of AUTO
LIGHTS TELL
Of SAFETY
Bureau of Standards Reports
on Its Series of Experiments.
Lenses Discussed.

In an effort to devise a simple
method of testing automobile head
lights on the road, SO they ensure
good distribution of light, the
Bureau of Standards has been con-
Quoting a series experiments, the
results of which were made public
today.
The statement says that one
method requires nothing more com.
plicated that a screen of canvas, or
other suitable material, on which
three lines are drawn. One line Is
horizontal, and at approximately the
same height as the headlights of the
car; the other two are vertical and
as Ear apart as the headlights.
The car is placed at a distance of
twenty-five feet, with the lights
shining on the screen. The region
below the horizontal line should be
brilliantly illuminated. tho state
ment says. with the illumination ex.
tending only short distance above,
and then fading to an intensity
about that obtained by using dim
mers. Some light. the tests show,
is required in this region, but
should not be bright enough to be
glazing. The bright light should
not rise as high on the sides as 1t
does at the center.
The tests also showed that two
cars using good lenses could safely
pass without using DINNERS. The
lights did not glare in the eyes
Of approaching drivers, yet they
light up the road beyond the other
car with sufficient brilliancy to
permit the driver to see what was
there.
The tests showed that lenses of
the bes: design appear to be made
up of rectangular or triangular
sections and slightly curved on one
surface, the axis of the curve being
vertical. and the top Of the sec
tons thinner than the bottom.
Uniform headlight laws through
out the country were recommended
as result of the tests. Testing
of headlights by garages and by
he police, where violations of the
law are alleged, are also thought
to be advisable by officials of the
bureau.
