LUCY LOWELL
ON FAMILY
REUNIONS
<kDEAR MISS LOWELL:
viii you please write

VIII you please WriLS
something in your column
against the craze for anniversaries.
II think the silly way that people
rush to celebrate the anniversary
of almost everything from birth
days to New York Is sentimental.
Now that everything else is be-
ing modernized, why can't we bring
this custom up to date by drop
ping it. we young people have
our friends. We have plenty OF
good times without being. dragged
to q lot of old fogy family gather
ings every few weeks.
LAURA M. p"
NV Dear Laura: What an odd
viewpoint! Your letterNseems to
say to me that your friends, per-
sons you have known but few
years at best, are of more conse-
quence in your life and your at
lection than those who are your
own-bound by ties Of blood and
traditionI
Is it possible that you truly. in
your heart grow tired OF seeing
their faces-father's, mothers,
grandparents across the holiday
table2 / think you must be very,
very young II your answer is Eyes"
and that tho years will tinge
your memory with sadness.
We Americans are losing our
homes too rapidly as it Is. Big
brother has his interests and flies
to them the moment the evening
meal Is over. Little brother has
his own friends and is on his way
at the first possible instant.
know few sisters who go out to-
gether.
The Christmas and New Year
and even birthday festivals are not
what they were back in the days
when the evening fireside existed,
I know woman who sends her
mother a gift every birthday, but
the two have not met for five
yearsl
Still, they do draw families to-
gether-these celebrations. And
anything which does the least to-
ward keeping alive the feeling OF
family will hslp toward re-estao-
fishing the home and doing away
with the impersonal, almost criti-
cal, relationship that threatens our
future as nation.

TINY CHAPEL-BOAT SAVES
FRENCH SAILORS

! Inside, theA chapel is somber and
dark with green plants for the
background Of the little altar with
a tabernacle Of finely carved wood.
Nearby is a little votive offering
in the shape Of a boat constructed
by a friendly sailor. The bell in
the campanile is thought to possess
historical interest for on 1t one
reads, .Hildebrand, smelter of the
Emperor, 1866" and above this In
scription are the arms Of Napoleon
III. Discovered in an. attic at
Armentieres in 1912, the bell was
confided to a proprietor of Dinant
where it was conserved in q cellar
during the war and later hidden in
the gardens Of q convent during
the occupation OF the Germans.
Now it calls the sailors to mass
in the chapel OF the Seine at sum
rise or shutdown.

- ARIS,-eThe Star Of the
Morning is the little chapel
boat which lies in the Seine
river just over the parapet Of St.
Michel, not many yards away from
Notre Dame.
It is a long imposing looking
black barge with only a little cam
panile surmounted by q golden
cross to suggest what it really is.
Passerg-by lean over the pictur-
esque bridge and wonder what Is
tI1is queer little boat The cross is
varv small. Many are the Parisians
who have never heard of Mon
seigneur PLATEAU who, during ten
wears has been working for all
who wander up and down the
river in boats of every kind. as
well as the children of the sailors.
Here he holds mass for them and
gives valuable advice and lessons
to all who desire them.

REBUKE WOOD IN STATEMENT
 ON ASSIGNING
Filipino Cabinet Members Present Season for Resign
 ing in Plain Words.

MANILA, July 1S.-In resigning yesterday, the members of the Cao- inet made a formal public statement to Governor General Leonard Wood, as follows:
 "We have observed for some time that it is your policy and desire as Governor General to intervene and control even to small details of our government, both insular and local, in utter disregard to author ity and responsibility of the Depart ment heads and other officials con- --cerned."
 The resignation of the members of the Cabinet was handed in to the Governor General yesterday and ac- cepted. The resignations came as the result of the long political strife. Ray Conley, reinstated Secret Serv- ice agent, also resigned yesterday. He has also been a storm center be- tween the Filipino government and Wood.

FIRST DIVISION HEADS BLUEFO
 FARM INDUSTRY
Biological Survey Issues List of Island Ranches Now
 Tn Operation.

With total of go island blue fox ranches in Southeastern Alaska at the beginning of the present year, the panhandle of the Territory has more than all of the other sections of Alaska combined, according to a l list of ranches in operation at that time compiled by the Bureau of Blo- logical Survey and issued for dis tribution through E. P. Walker, chief of the Bureau in the Territory. The total number in the Territory on January l, 1923, according to the Bureaus compilation, was 146, Southeastern Alaska having 90, Prince William Sound and the lower Cook Inlet regions 33, Kodiak | Afognak 13, and west of that dis trict 10.
 The compilation shows the names of the operators of the ranches, their post office addresses and the islands on which the operations are in prog ress. It is issued, said MT. Walker for the convenience of persons in- terested in the blue fox ranching industry.
 The Bureau is deeply interested in the whole range of fur farming and it's experts are continually pre- pairing bulletins dealing with prob lens confronting the ranchers and endeavoring to keep pace with the progress made. The latest bulletin, which was issued last month, deals with the silverfox farming branch. It is written by Frank G. Ashbrook, Assistant Biologist of the, Bureau and contains data on the history of fox farming, fos-growing areas, recommendations to beginners, selec- tion of ranch sites, ranch organi- zation including details on pens, dens or kennels, and other equip ment, essentials of breeding, essen tials of feeding, general manage ment, pelting, sanitation, diseases, parasites, preventive measures and treatment of diseases, and records of the industry.
 Both of the publications men, tioned may be obtained from MT. Walker upon application.

STUDY ALASKA,
 AUTHOR URGES

NEW YORK, July 18.-"1Ne pos abilities If the great Territory of Alaska will remain unrealized in spite of President Harding's efforts toward understanding, if the Am erican people do not awaken to their responsibilities and learn something about the problems of this new em- pire of theirs" declares James Oliver Curwood. the author, whose latest novel, The Alaskan" now on the press, deals intimately and frankly with the Alaskan puzzle.
 Alaska is nine times as large as the State Of Washington and twelve times as large as New York State, It's mineral and forest resources are staggering, and it's fish and fur pro- ducts run into the millions an nualiy.
 Yet, big, legitimate capitalists are fighting shy of Alaska. Condi- tiohs are such, thanks to red tape and bad politics, that capital, big and little, looks uninterested. No wonder. There are thirty-e tight Government bureaus in Washington operating on Alaska-5,0 900 miles away Is it a wonder that patience is sick?'

LIST OF WORLD WAR; DEAD IS NOW PLACED
 IN MEMORIAL CENTER

OAKLAND, Calif, July 1S.-The names of S4,324 heroes who died in the World War today repose in vault in the Allied Memorial Gen. ter here. The memorial, majestic monument of steel and stone was erected on the banks of Lake Mer- ritt, in the heart of Oakland, for the purpose of holding the names of every Allied soldier, sailor, or nurse killed in the World War.
 Dr. Leroy F. Herrick of Oakland, who erected and maintoins the me- morial at his own expense, states that in time he hopes to have the names of every participant of the World War in the huge vault of the Allied Memorial Cetner.
 Dr. Herrick stated that the Can adian authorities have promised to have a complete list of the soldier and sailor dead of Canada in ms hands on July 20, and, he says, the names will be deposited soon after with proper patriotic services. This, the memorial founder stated, will be a departure from the usual method of depositing the names.
 q planned and since 1919 have carried out my idea of holding pat riotic services for the depositing of names on each Memorial Day and each Armistice Day." said pr. Her rick. However, I do not want to keep the entire Canadian list out of the vault until next November II, and I am going to break the rule of procedure this once.
 q do not know how long it is going to take me to get the names of the 100000 soldier dead of France The French war authorities have not finished compiling it's list. l expect to have the Australian and New Zealand list in time for next Armistice Day, but I do not know how lonHit will take to get complete lists from England, Belgium, Italy and other Allies.
 "The names in the vault today are all Americans, with the exception Of 143 of BraZil's war dead"
 The monument has the portraits of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Wilson carved on the four sides, anti is topped by an eagle. Dr. Herrick local physician for the last g. years, was born in Wellington, Maine. in 1861.

MARRY YOUNG"
 SAYS BENEDICT

SACRAMENTO, July IS. - The twenty-one years of age" limit for women, advocated in a bill passed by the last California Legislature and vetoed by Governor Friend w. Richardson, would have been disas- trous to many well-ordered matri- monial plans. according to w. L. Morrison of Redlands in a letter to the Governor lauding him on his re- fusal to raise the age of feminine majority from eighteen years.
 MT. Morrison agrees with a state ment made recently by the executive that 'early marriages tend to hap piness and good citizenship" and re- fers to himself as an example. My wife married me before she was sev- enteen years old and she is yet the most wonderful of women. We will celebrate our golden wedding in 1924"

NEW YORK, July 1S.-"The Sov- jet government is second only to that of the United States and Rus sia will soon be making inroads up on the grain markets of America" was the word brought back from Europe by United States Senator Smith w. Brookhart, of Iowa.
 Senator Brookhart declared that an extra session of Congress to consider the agricultural situation is necessary.
 The Iowa Senator said he read President Harding's first three speeches while on his trip and added:
 "I think about three more speech es like these would elect Henry Ford by about 10,000.000 majority, If the President is a candidate"
