QUEENS VISIT
 STARTS ROW
American Woven in England Re- sent Arbitrary Closing of
 Their Clubrooms

London.-Queen Mary threatens to become bone of contention in the American Women's Club.
 The members of the club. who have recently moved into a new home. received cards a short time ago announcing that on a certain date the clubhouse would be closed for several hours. No explanation was given. It developed later that the clubhouse had been closed in order that Queen Mary might visit and inspect it. Then the storm broke.
 One version was that the Queen had expressed desire to see the clubhouse and had given orders that the club must be cleared of all it's members when she came. Another version was that the officials of the club had made the Queens visit the occasion for select little gather ing. Some of the democratic mem bers are protesting against being deprived of their club rights for the sake of royalty. others are storm ing against the officials. The con troversy promises to become quite interesting and may lead to de- bate on the degree of democracy which Americans should adopt when in England. Some maintain that the closing of the club was most un- democratic.
 The Evening" Standard com ments There is something of an amused stir among club-women con- oerning this event. for at this sup posed stronghold or republicanism the visit caused more anxiety and more regulations than it would have done in an Englishwomen's club"

FUR REGULATIONS FOR THyRpr DISTRICT OF ALASKA FOR
 1B23.1024.

Marten. Land Otter, Mink, and w asel, Nov. 18th to March 31st.
 Muskrat, May 1st to June 10th.
 Lynx, Fox, Dec. 1st to March 31st
 Beaver, Sea Otter, Closed Season Bear (black, glacier. cinnamon) wolf, wolverine. squirrel. marmot, twhistler) Snowshoe and Arctic Hare. are unprotected.
 Three changes are noteworthy ia the above:
 FIRST-The fox season has been advanced to December 1st and e1- tended to March 31st. This is to prevent the great influx of unprime skins into the hands of the traders during the early days of the open season. We estimate that the mon ey value of the fox catch can be increased more than 10eo by giv- ing the animals 15 days more to mature before trapping.
 The advisability of prescribing different open seasons for white fox and red fox was discussed, but the habits and ranges of the two species are too closely associated to allow of this.
 SECOND-The change in the muskrat season is radical and, we believe. eficacious.
 The long midwinter season is not wanted either by trappers or trad CTS. It leads to a destruction of houses and runaways that would certainly exterminate the rat If long continued. The forty days open season at the breakup gives the hunter chance to select and shoot the finest rats at a time when their pelage has reached it's highest point of excellence.
 THIRD-The season Is closed on Beaver. The trapper forced this issue upon himself by a wholesale destruction of beaver houses during the two years open season granted

What would you
do in his place?
The steeplejack lights his
pipe and goes on
painting

Imagine, if you can, steeplejack
487 feet above the street level. Hang
ing on by his teeth he is applying
more or less rough-and-ready coat Of
paint to a f1agpole.
1t may seem foolish that a flagpole
487 feet in the air should need a coat
of paint; but anyway, that's the case.
Right in the midst of busy morn
ing's painting an adventurous bee
buzzes into the picture. In fact, there
are two bees, both buzzing viciously.
What should the steeplejack do?
There being in the profession no
local rules for buzzing bees, your
average steepleiack probably would
get the all-clear signal from below and.
slide promptly down to safety.
But not Our Hero.
He takes out his pipe, lights it, and
goes on painting.
'It soothes the nerves." he says
frankly about pipe smoking.
And, by the way, although there
are only twenty-five genuine, no.
scafold steeplejacks in the country,
Our Hero is one of them.
We have no way of knowing what
kind of tobacco the steeplejack pours
into his pipe on these bee-buzzing oc-
casions, but we have feeling that it
is Edgeworth.
For Edgeworth does much to give
the smoker a sense of calm and
peaceful security.
