TITLE TO TIDE LANDS
VESTED WITH j. S.

Until Congress grants some supe-
ricr title than now possessed by them
the right Of Indians in Alaska vested
in lands, either tideland or upland,
is merely that of occupancy, accord
ing to an opinion by John H. Edwards
solicitor for the interior department,
copies of which have been received
by Gov Scott @. Bone. Such right
cannot be disposed Of under exist
ing law.
The question as to title of lands
occupied by Alaskan Indians was
raised BY W. L. Paul, in connection
with certain tidelands near Ketchi-
kan. In giving his decision Edwards
declared that the Indians Of Alaska
are in the same category as other
Indians of the United States.

VOICE OF MARS CALLING
TO EARTH MAY HAVE
KILLED FLOCK BIRDS

NEW YORK, April 18-Science adj
mitted itself baffled today when con-
ronted with tne story of the death OF
four acres of blackbirds which while
flying over the apple orchard of the
farm of J. l.. Lippincott, in Burling-
ton County, N j., turned up their
toes and with one faint squak of sur
prise, fell to the ground.
wOne explanation for this unpre-
cedented phenomenon" said Profess
sor John Harold Morecraft, Of electri-
cal engineering in the Columbia Uni
versity, "would be that it was another
effort Of Mars to communicate with US.
Just think of what Mars must have
been trying to say.
GAS for the idea that radio waves
might have knocked down the flock
does not seem probable. If bird were
to come very close, say within 100 feet
of big radio antenna, it might get
a shock, but there seems to have been
no antenna in the vicinity Of Lippin-
colts farm.
Il am not positive, however, that
radio is not to blame. Strange and I'M
usual things are going to come Of ra-
dio-more strange and more unusual
even than the stories that have come
from fishing and golf"
Meanwhile the agents Of DR.. ]. B
Litman, Director Of the New Jersey
State Experiment Station at New
Brunswick, are investigating.
"If these four acres of blackbirds
had just happened to eat four acres
of poisonous bugs at the very same
time, they would quite possibly die al
at the same time" said DR.. Litman
Cor they might have eaten beetles that
had been sprayed with poison wher
farmers were spraying their fruit
trees, as they do every year. Beginning
about in February this is the custom
Anyway, it's unnatural"
Meanwhile further verification Of
the story was obtained from Mrs. M
Kembie, housekeeper at the Lippincot1
farm. Just before the birds fell, she
explained, those in the center were
seen to flutter downward, as if propel
led by gust of hot air from above
Then the whole flock dropped, scatter
ing over four acres of orchard, anC
many bushels OF the birds were
carried off.
None Of the birds can be found now

 Miss Young will be a bridesmaid at the Clason-Abbott wedding and the in- vitation list to this party was confined to the members of the wedding party and one or two most intimate friends.
 A color note of green and white was carried out in the details, such as the refreshments, score cards, etc, and quantities of garden flowers added to fthe attractiveness of the tea room.
 Miss. Mildred Crane won the top score prize, pair of silk hose, and the honoree' was presented with slave bracelet.
 At the conclusion of the game, an elegant repast was served.
 Those present were: Miss Dorothy Clason, Mrs. George Kyle, Mrs. Thom- as Clason, Mrs. Lewis McDuffie, Misses Mildred and Margaret Crane, Miss Mary Gnosspelius, Miss Augusta Turner, Miss Mary Patterson, Miss Leah Williams, Miss Elizabeth Banks, Miss Margaret Garrard, Katherine Hutchins, Miss Louise Johnson, Miss Frances Young, Miss Louie Young.

 MARIAN'S words were simple N enough, but she was startled
 at the effect they produced upon her companion.
 The look of cunning that came to Lois face was convincing proof that she was not in complete ignorance of what had occurred this evening.
 Lois r' Marian exclaimed, Hook at me! What do you know of what took place tonight at DeLisle's" Lois glanced up, but only for an instant. Her eyes were hard. What are you talking about?" she asked, as if playing for time. Your behavior is certainly strange, Miriam. I ask an innocent question, and you get excited about it. Something must have oc- cured to upset you"
 You know that something occurred to upset me" Marian accused. You know-or suspect-that DeLisle's was raided tonight-that two deacons and Mir. Sumner were among the raiders 1 just to find. out how bad a place it was, I suppose. How do you know :; all this?'
 Shd was leaning over her sister, grasping her shoulders and almost shak- ing her.
 Tell mel" she insisted. Did one of those men-either old Banscombe or Holmes-send you any word of this? But, no-they could hardly have had time, yet-and they would not dare. And I know Mir. Sumner well enough to swear that he would trust nobody with the facts"
 Lois wrenched herself free from her sisters grip and struggled to her feet.
 "Let me alone! she commanded an- grily. "I have not had any word from anyone since Mrs. Fisher went out of the house. You can believe that or not, as you please. You are so sure of what MT. Sumner would do-you know him so well, You say-that per haps you would best telephone him and ask him if he has been guilty of the indiscretion of daring to tell me any thing about you, if you do not believe my assertion that I have not seen him 1 in the last twenty-four hours. You say he would trust nobody with the | facts. It is evident that you fancy you have made suyh a conquest of him that you and your affairs would be sacred to him." q Marian dropped back in her chair. The awful truth was dawning upon her. | Lois had not lied when she said she had heard from nobody tonight. But Hast night she and Harold Sumner had had a long talk. She had just spo- ken of his not having been here for twenty-four hours. That remark re- minded Marian that the minister had called last evening. Could he have in- timated to the girl that move was on foot to investigate the fancied evils practiced at DeLisle's? $ (To Be Continued) Y

They include Count Mordac and her manager, Maurice Brunei. Also Ahmed, Arab prince, and DonGtelli, who because of her fought a duel of dice and poison. Ahmed lost. Kendrick found Elise at the duelling ground whither she had gone in vain effort to stop the strange contest. Elise tells Brunei she must rest and break her contract with him. She goes south.

Answer:
 If you are not engaged to the lady I do not see what possible right you have to dictate to her about her conduct or say with whom she shall go and with whom she shall not go. Very few wives are weak enough in these days to let even their husbands tell them just where they get off and on, and certainly no woman of spirit would stand being bossed by a man who has no authority over her., If you, wish to pre-empt. the lady's society for your exclusive usage and benefit you will have to marry her. A wedding ring is the price of that sort of monopoly.

 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: I am a divorced man of thirty, and am in love with a young widow. We go together contin- ually, but we are not engaged, and she thinks that there is nothing wrong in her going out once in a while with someone else.
 I show her every kind of entertain ment and am jealous of her receiving any attention from any other man, but she thinks I take the wrong attitude in this matter. Possibly it is because she doesn't like me to tell her that she cannot do certain things. If I said that she might do them, she might not care for them. What do you think?

Dear Dorothy Dix: She is twenty five, I am twenty-eight, but there are certain marked differences in tempera- ment, so we quarrel. At first little quarrels, then big ones. I gave her every chance to quit me, but she didn't. Finally, we broke off the engagement by mutual consent. This was about a month ago. Since then I have done nothing toward a reconciliation. She, however, has made certain subtle ad- vances toward it. I love her dearly and would give my right hand to have things on the old footing, but I am troubled with the thought that she is just leading me on so that she may crush me to gratify her vanity. I don't know what to do. c. A. l..

 things on the old footing, but I am troubled with the thought that she is just leading me on so that she may crush me to gratify her vanity. don't know what to do. c. A. l.. Answer: It seems to me, c. A. L., that you love yourself a great deal better than you do the girl or else you would not be willing to risk losing her in order to avoid hurting your self-esteem. Evi- dently the girl is very fond of you. So fond of you that she held on even when you let her see that you wanted to break the engagement So fond of you that she has extended the olive branch that you are afraid to take. No self-respecting girl could do more. Now the situation is up to you.
 A man who is really in love with a girl doesn't stand on his dignity. He isn't afraid of her getting the best of the situation or of being put in an embarrassing position. He doesn't expect her to meet him half way. He is willing to go all the way to get her if he wants her.
 But if there is fundamental differ ence in temperament between you two, and you are always quarreling, why not let matters stand as they are and each of you seek mate who will be more congenial? There is small pros- pect of happiness in a marriage in which husband and wife look at every thing from different standpoint and where they have different tastes. diff ferent opinions, enjoy different things and really have no meeting except the purely physical attraction that draws them together for a brief hour.
 The happy home is not a battle ground, with a man and woman fighting over every inch of it. It is a place of peace and rest, with a husband and wife contentedly ''yes-yessing" each other and amb- ling along on the same hobby horses.
 Don't delude yourself with the thought that people of different ntemperaments can eyer,adapt them selves to each other. They can no i, more do it than blue-eyed blonde can develop into a brunette because her husband is dark, or a tall man can become short because he is
