aLASkA'A fIKSr LADY LAWYER
 IS MISS SCOTT

Miss Selma N. Scott. Chief Deputy Clerk of the District Court Of the Third Division. with headquarters at Valdez. has been admitted to prac- tice in the courts of Alaska by Judge E. E. Ritchie. after she had passed a most favorable examination be- fore committee of the Bar Associa- ton. composed of A. J. Dimond. J. H. Murray and H. V. Ray.
 Miss Scott is the first member of the gentle sex in this division to be- come full-fledged lawyer and so far as We know is entitled to tha. distinction throughout Alaska. She is bright, versatile and capable young lady who will undoubtedly make her mark as a desciple Of Blackstone. She has been resi- dent of the Territory for some time and acceptably filled the position of stenographer in the office of the United States Attorney at Nome from 1910 to 1912. where she be- gan the study of law. Three years later she entered the office of At torney L. V. Ray, at Seward. where she continued her studies during 19l5-16 and IT. Later Miss Scott spent a year in Chile. as stenogra- pher for the Kennecott Copper Cor poration and last summer she and her mother made trip to Europe, returning in the fall to accept her present position with the district court and devoting her spare time to perfecting herself for the examina- ton which she recently passed Cordova Times.

CABARET AT EAGLE HAIA4
 ON NEW YEARS EVE

The New Years Eve Cabaret to be given by the Eagle Hall Commission will be very elaborate affair, il was decided at a meeting held Fri day. that no effort will be spared to make this event greater success than any in the past years, and to be given on self-susta ming basis--in other words, no profit is expected just to make the event pay for itself.
 The general admission will be 50 cents only, and everything sold dur ing the evening will be at prices as near as practicable. as they would be any where else.
 A small charge of 25 cents will be charged for table reservations, but all table decorations to be furnished by the patrons.
 Reservations can be made at Lo- mems Drug Store.
 The entertainment will consist of the usual New Years Eve festivities confetti, Serpentlne. DaiioOns, ana noise making appliances will be available. Entertainment numbers will be rendered at intervals between dances. and at midnight general frolic and good time will be had in closing out the old year and usher ing in the new.
 The Cabaret features will be in charge of experienced caterers, and the finest table luxuries will be pre-. pared and served, together with ali the liquid refreshments available.
 The best of music will be en- gagged.

COULD SOMEONE TEIIL ME THE
 CORRECT TIME?

Left home this morning-clock registered 9:45; walked down Front street; stopped at the Fire House. Clock in there registered 9:43. Came out of there and walked into Cheap Johns store and asked friend Weis- berg the time. He looked at his bis cult and remarked it was just $40. After chatting with Mitch for a few minutes. walked down to MIlo's.. looking through the front window clock in there proclaimed the time to be 10:45. Started down tba street again determined to find &,wo | clocks with the same time. Had | only taken few steps when Coun-. cilman Bud Lehmanm spoke to me, and said: What time you got. Bud?" We'll, after fishing around in numerous pockets of his sclothes Bud hauled out a turnip which reg istered 7:30. By this time I was be-, shining to think the last one took was tainted. when along came Jim> my Keenan.
 Hello. Jimmy" I cried. Have |, you got the right time?" Sure have" said Jimmy, and with delft movement he brushed back his coat sleeve and exposed a l handsome wrist watch It's just nine thirty eight" said Jimmy.
 ! "Zat right time?" I asked. l "Betcha life" replied Jimmy. Thanks"
 Walked on down to Lomen's Drug Store and encountered Doc. coming out of the front door in a hurry.
 Say. Doc" yelled. as he brush ed past me.
 ! See you in minute" said Doc. "1'm iate--had Il date for 10: 15 and here it is nearly 1O:30 already" l Beat it for the office then-looked at the clock on the wall-that faith ful piece of machinery insisted it was l 3 o'clock They will not continue 1 to operate unless someone winds them occasionally At this junctura the Boss walked into the office and walled at him. What time is it?'
 Fumbling in his pocket he re- marked. Left muh watch in muh , other olothes.''
 l Now the afterclap of all this fool ishness is that Nome has a clock for
 which good American dollars was paid. and it stands in position where everyone on Front Street can see it, and it seems that with very | little trouble this timepiece. which i is located in front of the Segerstrom
 & Hagen Jewerery Store, could be kept set to Standard time and every one would have near the same time
 in Nome. The way it is. if a fellow
 is invited out he may get there oe- fore the hostess has the pot on, or ! he may get there just in time to turn ! out the lights for the head of the, house when that individual is retir- l ing for the night. Never can tell strange things happen when clocks l do not keep the same time.

Our child cannot possibly have bowlegs, no more than it can have knock-knees or feet that toe im- moderately out inf it is to be perfect.

 AS for making child sit up before it is ready, talk before it is ready and walk before it is ready II believe in none of these things. A child should be permitted to develop naturally and in it's due time The infant that talks at six months is sure to have lost out somewhere in its physical development.

The chldren's schoolroom and play ground would be great garden filled with grass and flowers and squirrels and birds. Nature moro than anything else arouse the curiosity of the child mind And it is of nature that the child should learn before it becomes involved in readin, 'ritia and 'rithmetic."
 In the world of to-day all are not natural mothers. All may become mothers, but not thereby qualified to raise the children they give to the world. Some women there are who understand instinctively how to handle children. It is these properly trained that should inhabit the botanical kindergartens with the children. In addition to their understanding of children these women should possess infinite gentleness, patience and wisdom. It is to them that the child curious about flower

 Thus far I have attempted to show how to raise the perfect child through childhood. Next to be considered are various problems connected with the growing girl.

specialists. However, l the scientific care of the infant is important not only to pull the child through the dan gerous period of in fancy but also to lay the foundation of its future. I cannot stress too much the necessity for a foundation laid so strongly and so deeply that the child resting upon it can weather all the storms of life.
 The regularity of the infants life makes not only for a pink checked, bright : eyed baby but also for a ire s h = complexioned, bright-eyed young girl. Strict care of the diet is not only a preventa- tive of collie for the in fant but also a dis couragement of any fu- ture ailment of the di- gestive tract. I h e undernourished infant may very likely suffer in later years from anaemia or general de- Utilization. The over nourished child, accus- toned to greater quan- titles of food than it's system requires, may have the habits and physique of the gour- mand later in life.
 It is in the infancy of a child that good habits of health should be formed and bad hab- it's discouraged. The child should not be spoiled by always get ting what it asks for. If what it asks for, however, is perfectly reasonable, there is no purpose in refusing it. Parents are so apt to be entirely indulgent or entirely obdurate. It is a cross between these two that is desirable. A discerning mother knows when to let her child cry and when not to. Tears of frustra- tion and anger can never hurt the baby and will on the con trary develop lusty lungs. Tears caused by pain, discomfort ant means tears to be dried.

or a bird or a round, shiny stone should come to learn of it's treasure, and that great house nature.
 The botanical gar den would eliminate bringing the child up in too close contact with grown-ups, the desirability of which can scarcely be ques- toned. The child raised among grown ups emulates grown-up actions and turns of speech, becomes too early acquainted with the serious aspect of
 
 life, and thereby loses a portion of his child hood. I, for one, be- lieve in a long, care free childhood. Adult life is long and often hard enough without forcing it upon any in- dividual too soon.
 In a botanical kin dergarten, where the curiosity of the child is set in constant motion, and where instructive games are played, the
 
 child will, in the long run, learn far more than if his early edu- cation s formalized into learning to write the letters of the al- phabet and repeating, parrot-like, "one-and- o n e m a k e t W o, two : and two make four" In the form of play the child will learn a great deal- the names and nature of flowers, birds, trees,  animals, stones, sky, sun, snow and rain. And in learning about this world of ours it's little brain will not be taxed at the expense of it's physical growth and development. It will have plenty of fresh air and plenty of sleep.

HEAT BY WIRE

mine barons will be robbed of their
chief excuse-the notorious car
shortage complaint. And neither will
there be coal cars to alleviate it.
In the not distant future coal will
not be shipped in cars that run
on rails and ties, but will be trans
nlitted as electricity to be used as
the consumer wishes, either as light,
old-fashioned stoves or fireplaces, the
latter with all their alleged cheer
fulnes, it will be electrical heaters
and electrical cook stoves, with
which all the purposes of the former
articles will be served, and then sew
eral.
Long, distance wires will carry this
energy across mountains, rivers and
plains. The coal will be treated to
its chemical changes, popularly called
burning, right at the mines, and
there will be no such thing as inter.
ferences from the present obstacles
of rolling stock and locomotives.
The transformation will have
greater results still. 1t will go a long
way to solve the perennial labor
troubles at the coal mines. which
troubles in turn are charged to the
car shortages and are shown i'll the

for the men that are there and idle
ness is killing to them in every way.
1t will provide for a standardization
of the number of men required and
they will work stated hours and six

What is more, the gasoline prob

broken up into its constituents, its
