Owing to the mere other &C
Invites of members of the volley

mainder OF the schedule. Many of
the players are on baseball teams
which play twilight games in the
afternoon and early evening, max
ing it impossible for them TO be on

GIRL CLERKS IN BRITAIN
 ARE VERY POORLY PAID

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Girl clerks in American offices who bemoan the sal aries of S15 and s20 week are con- sidered lucky by tlei; poe. DTS. sisters in Eng .anj.
 There are 5000 women clerks in government offices, some of them with eight years experience, who re- ceiye less than $10 a week. They are glad to get this as there are over one million other women ready to step into their jobs Most of these govern ment clerks are in the late twenties, some have passed thirty and a few are widows with children to support.
 The clerks have asked an increase of S2 to $250 a week. Some of the newspapers are supporting their re- quests. The government has not said anything yet, one way or the other. Meanwhile, it is said girls who can't make their salaries support them are making up the difference after hours, sewing, doing laundry work and giv- ino dancino lessons

SOUTHERN R|N1 STAR FIGHTING
 WAY ID GROWN

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Al Pettin- gill, who forsook New Orleans for New York, the big money and a shot at the flyweight title, is the pet pro duct of broken-down, ex-champion, Pete Herman, who once ruled the bantams of the world, but later had the misfortune to go almost totally blind.
 Before Herman lost his sight, how ever, the seized upon Pettingill as a ever, he seized upon Pettingill as a promising youngster and spent hours of his knowledge and experience. The result is that the Southern flyweight stands today as one of the most prominent contenders for Pancho Vil- las title.
 The youngster has slowly been steered toward title bout. He has made good in his preliminary tests and has done it in so convincing a manner that those sapient in ring matters are of the opinion that he is close after the title of Villa and Ge. naro.

AMERICAN BAR SHOULD WATCH
 LEGISLATURES
APPALLING NUMBER OF POOR LAWS PLACED ON STATUTE
 BOOKS OF COUNTRY

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 12.-The Bal Associations of America should give attention to the appalling number ot bills which become laws during legis- lative sessions, the committee on note worthy changes in statute law report ed to the American Bar Association at it's recent session here.
 Many of these acts should never be brought before the legislatures, but should be settled by the adminis- trative departments interested, or submitted to some form of court of claims and finally passed there. The act passed at the last session of Con- gress permitting the adjustment ot certain classes of claims against the United States founded on tort is a step in the direction of reducing the number of private bills introduced in congress.
 An extension of the principle ot home rule would avoid much special and local legislation, but it will have to be accompanied by willingness ot the local authorities to accept respon- sibility. More courage on the part of the legislature in refusing to assume the duty which properly rests on the local authority, and more courage on the part of local authority in taking responsibility for new laws passed would greatly help.

INTERIOR |S AFINE COUNTRY. SAYS
 3. N. BEHRENDS
GREAT POSSIBILITIES OF INTE- RlOR USSED-ALASkA
 NEEDS PEOPLE

JUNEAU-The interior of Alaska will be a wonderful country of pro- duce and plenty in the course of time when an increased population has de veloped it's present resources is the opinion of B. M. Behrends, who with Mrs. Behrends returned to Juneau last night on the Alameda from a trip along the westward coast and in to Fairbanks by way of the Alaska rail- road
 "The future of the interior depends on it's population and that will come only when people are offered possi- bilities in the country and are filled with the desire to explore a new land," said MT. Behrends. But the time will come when the young peo- pie in Alaska of today are grown to men they will see the interior coun- try of teeming industry"
 MT. Behrends believes that the SOohtiy AOC Ouiy Lcto d IuluI ' OI ullu ing but that there is no doubt agri culture will take big part among the industries.
 Fairbanks is the Los Angeles of Alaska MT. Behrends said It is set in a district of sunshine, flowers and waving grains and is spot of beauty
 The Agricultural College and School of Mines is a splendid institution and is run by system of good and sensi- ble economy. Charles E. Bunnell president, is a good executive and the man for the position, MT. Behrends said
 Mining has been retarded in the in. terior and along the coast on account of the dry weather this summer. None of the important properties have been forced to cease operations entirely but number of them have been able to run only in small capacity.
 The salmon season has been com paratively good along the southwest ern coast and the majority of packs have experienced normal packs. The Nellie Juan plant put up pack oi 57,O00 cases this season

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-The last boat of the season to leave Nenana for Holy Cross will sail Wednesday of next week. While it is portable that a number of trips could yet be made, the commission will play safe and lay the boats up in good season, so as to avoid the dangers of being frozen in. Next season will probably see two new and more commodious boats on the run, as business has increased so rapidly since the Alaska railroad took over the transports and placed them on the run from Nenana to Holy Cross that it is recognized something must be done to take care of the trade.
