Miss Mabel Ehrhart of 1921 Allison

authority on the typewriter, but she
surely can do some guessing even
where typewriters are concerned.
For instance. despite the fact that
she says she does not know anything
about typewriting, she won new
machine by guessing that a type
writer had 1858 inspections before
being given to the public. The ac-
tual number is 1885, the company
states.

AUXILIARY IS SEEKING DATA
Questionnaires Are Sent Out to As l ceAain Constructive Work of Past Year.

l In order to determine the needs for development of the organization, offl- cials of the American Le zion Auxiliary have sent out questionnaires to various departments of the organization. These particularly affect the program of the women's standby organization with re- gard to the assistance to be rendered the veterans association.
 Mrs. Jennie Stewart, of Bartlesyille, Okla, vice president for the southern district was the first to send out this auestionnaire, though the course will immediately be followed by others in charge of the work in respective dis tricts.
 By this survey, Mrs. Stewart hopes to determine what constructive work is outstanding in each department dur ing the past year. Information as to methods of accomplishment of this work is also sought. According to earlier reports, specific problems have a. n in each department and informa- ton on these is sought from the states so that assistance may be afforded by national headquarters. Further data on influences working against the or ganization, process and promotion of membership campaigns. and other points are requested in the question naire submitted.

Seattle Fur
 Exchange to
 Lend Its Aid
Claims That Fairness to Alaska and Seattle Demands That the Eouke
 Contract Be Abrogated

The Seattle Fur Exchange is I is prepared to take an active part in the proposed senatorial inyestiga~ tion or the government seal skin con tract with the Fouke Fur Company
 )f St. Louis, Mo.
 The contention of the Seattle Fur Exchange is that fairness to
 Seattle and Alaska alike demands that this contract be abrogated. and the furs in salted form be sold in Seattle. the nearest port of entry, and claim that this method of hand l ling would have netted the govern ment s412.1S4 50 on the 1921 shipments, whereas the net revenue amounted to but s67,716. GO.
 The Seattle Fur Exchange is an organization of 52 of Seattle's load ing business men which had it's in. option in the idea that Seattle was the logical center for the develop ment of a market for Alaska and Pacific Nortnwest raw furs. and that such a market would stimulate and aid in the development of the 'ur business of this section The organization has gone on rerord re l 2eatedly as favoring a movement allowing Alaska to participate in 8 greater degree in the proceeds from 1 the sale of fur seal skins.
 Mir. Joseph F Agnew, treasurer and general manager of the Ex- ehange pointed out the far. that the sale of the scal skins in Seattle would bring hnyers from all over the
 world to this market thereby bena-
 fitting Alaska shippers by assuring a brisk market, quick sales and top prices.
 In 1923 the government profit on the seal skins from Pribilof Islands amounted to S1.79 per skin, while the result of the sale of 23,555 skins in 1922 was net loss to the government of s1S1 % after the St. 1 Louis concern had been paid s15. 4 1 1 per skin for commission and dyeing. A great deal of interest on the part of the general public is mani l tested in the proposed inquiry as showed by numerous letters re- ceived by various members of Con gress, and all signs point to an in- vestigation which will not be smoth- cred in committee.-Alaska Weekly.

LABOR AND LEGION ALLIED
Engineers Decries Efforts of PropaGandists.

Declaring that no two American than the American Legion and organ ized labor Frank Wenig, q prominent member of the Brotherhood of LoconO- tive Engineers in Iowa, and senior vice commander of the Legion in that state, decried efforts of pr0pasundists to di- vert the purposes of the two organized forces.
 Vice Commander Wenig's statement was made during the course of joint meeting of members of the State Fed 'eration of Labor and of the Legion in Ottumwa, Ia.
 The speaker denounced the efforts of icertain interests to lead labor unions into the belief that the Legion men were willing and would serve as strike breakers. He cited recent incidents in Denver, Colo., where, in face Of threatening strike of street railway employees, announcement was made that tie members of the Legion would man the cars in event of a Walkout This, the Legion men held as false propaganda, emanating from capital ists who seek to foreStall any alliance between labor and the Legion.
 On many questions. declared WeniS. are the two organizations allied. He referred to the prohibition of child labor, concerning which both the American Federation of Labor and the American Legion announced similar programs by action of national con- ventions He cited the policies of the two bodies as allied on the immigra- tion question, which lie said was a more serious threat against the na- tional entity than any other, labor see ing in continued entrance of aliens a possible system of wage slavery, and the Legion anticipating q high per cent of people who were willing to live in the nation, but not to fight for ii. Tn endorsement of the adjusted com. pensation bill by the American Fedora tion of Labor, Wenig declared, clearly showed the sentiments of labor in that direction, while the 26,0oO mil lionaires made during the war were the chief opponents of the bill,' he said

Plea for Patriotism.

A plea for active cooperation be- tween the American Legion posts of the nations and the schools to keep alive patriotism has been made by Superintendent James J. Reynolds of the Flatbush L. I.) schools. In mak- ing this plea, the educator requested that the veterans organization pursue a certain course in order to encourage patriotic observance. One of these suggestions was that Legion speaker be present at every school on pa triotic occasions, and that each new school be presented with flag from the Legion posts because the men of that body represent a highly patriotic portion of the population. Superin' tendent Reynolds further suggested that the history of each Legion post particularly in regard to the deeds ot It's members in service, be presented to the schools in order that such rec ords may be retained for patriotic study in years to come.
