her propaganda to grown men and
women. She wrote to the late Presi-
dent Warren G. Harding that he was
setting a bad example by his smoking
Of cigarets and requesting that he
stop. She received a letter in reply
commending her zeal, but evading the
pledge to quit.
It was mainly through her efforts
that a law was passed in Illinois pro-
hibiting minors from smoking. She
set out to enforce this law and was
deputized BY Chief Of Police Nc
Weeney, whereupon she arrested sew

sending 81 cigarets to the soldiers be-
came the thing TO do, Miss CASTOR
was almost alone in her opposition,
but she nevertheless remained in OPP
position. Then, in recent years. when
i became not only permissible. but
really proper for women to smoke
cigarets in public, she receded not a
bit from her position, but only re-
doubled her protests.

FIND so WHITES SEMI-SLAVES
OF NEGRO cHIEFTAIN

London.-A group Of white settlers
isolated for nearly fifty years from
other white persons, is living in a state
of servitude under the protection OF
a Negro King in the Hinterland of the
Great Kalahari desert in Africa, ac-
cording to dispatch from Cape Town
to the Daily Express.
The whites were discovered by a
South African government expedition.
About 100 miles in the interior of the
desert at Molopole the government
expedition was met BY natives and
taken before Sebele, the principal chief
of the district. He spoke English
fiuently, was well educated and wore
European clothes, as did his wife.
Near Sebele's krall officials Of the
expedition discovered about fifty white
men and women whose relation to the
native villagers was something similar
to slavery, although there was no in
dication that the whites were i'll
treated.
Sebele explained that these persons
were servants who performed mental
tasks for the Negroes and titled land
belonging to their masters. They are
paid with small measures Of grain.
As an inferior helpless group the
whites are not permitted to own land
and are denied all privileges of native
citizenship.

What Labor Has Learned
Labor has found from painful ex-
perience that it cannot force a man,
BY law, or any other means, to open
his place of business and maintain a
pay roll" he said. "The employer
can be scared out Of business and he
can be taxed out Of existence BY the
legislation which La Toilette proposes
in his political platform. Labor must
always do its own thinking, and when
you chose your leaders you gave them
great powers, but did not give them
the right to deliver your vote"

BEAR CREEK SHOPS BURN;
 BIG LOSS TO YUKON CAMP

A disastrous fire recently wreck ed the machine shops of Burrall and Baird, Ltd., located at Bear Creek in the Dawson district, says the Daw- son News. Fire started by creosote in the smokestack, and was discover ed by George Brown, night watchman and Arthur Hand, master mechanic. They immediately gave the alarm and the Bear Creek fire fighting apparat- us soon was on the scene, manned by every man in the camp.
 The flames spread rapidly from the boiler room, through the mammoth structure ,and destroyed all that DOT tion of the building containing the machine and forging shops The rear portion of the building containing the acetyline and electric welding plants, and the gas house, were saved, as was the bunk house adjoining the shops.
 The only articles saved from hte machine shop were lathe and a shaping machine and the loose tools. The heavy lathe and shaping mach inc were dragged to a place of safety by horses before the flames had con- sumed that portion of the building in which they were housed. The huge lifting crane may not be damaged be- yond repair.
