Claims Modern Girls Dizzy
 Trying Keep Up With Folks

CHICAGO, Mar. 14-Girl students at preparatory schools today are far more moral than the students of three years ago, according to delegates at tending the conference here of the National Association of Principals of schools for girls.
 Dean Bernice V. Brown of Radcliff college, declared that she was of the opinion that girls of today are more religious than those of 20 years ago.
 Although church affiliation is not obligatory in college, she pointed out it IS seldom that students do not be- long to some church and attend it with more or less regularity.
 Frank s. McGill of Penn. Hall, de- clared that it was his opinion that the girls of today are as good as those of f ormer generations but that they are "dizzy trying to keep up the pace set by their parents"
 The association endorsed the fight now being made in Oregon against the compulsory education bill and legis- lation committee was appointed to watch for attempts to pass similar laws in other states, which laws, it was claimed, abridge the right of par ents to "educate their children as and where they see fit"

Trying to Stamp Out
 Disease Tn Effort to
 Save Last Aborigines

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Mar 14-A de- termined effort is being made by the authorities to clean up Papette and to stamp out certain diseases which long have been prevalent in Tahiti.
 For many years Papeete, on account of it's insanitary state, has been the breeding ground of maladies which have spread to all the islands of the colony. The death rate both in the town and the outlaying islands from this cause has been very great. This is especially the case among the na- tive population, whose members have little resistance to European or, in fact, any disease.
 It has been predicted by well-in- formed residents that if the old condi- tions were allowed to continue few more years would see the extinction ct the Tahitian race a fate which all ready has overtaken the aboriginal in habitants of the Marquesas archlpel- ago.

HARDING APPROVED SENDING MARINES
 ID TEAPOT DOME

WASHINGTON, Mar. 14.-Reply- ing to a question by Senator Dill, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt admitted that he had asked Harry Sinclair to give his brother, Archie job. He said the magnate gave him a salary of $1O,O00 which was soon increased to $15,O00 a year. Roosevelt further said that President Harding had approved his sending the Marines to Teapot Dome to remove the squatters therefrom after leasing the naval reserve to the Sinclair in terests.
 He reiterated that the former Secre- tary of the Interior believed it better to eject the squatters by military rather than civil force, as he did not wish the legality of the leases aired in court.

Germans Smuggle Food
 Over Border With Skis

PRESLAU, Mar. 14-Almost every body on this side of the frontier this winter is devoted to skiing. Skis never before were in such demand, and the call for them increased as the cost of food in Germany went up.
 Parties of skiiers leave every morn ing for the wild mountain passes lead ing toward Czechoslovakia and come back before night with knapsacks full of sausages and cheese, fresh meats and canned goods.
 Over the hills on the other side, runs the explanation. Things to eat and drink cost less than half what they do in Germany, for in the noun tain passes the snow lies too deep for the Czech customs officials to prevent

W. ]. COPPER|VOLL
 RETURNS FROM
 TRIP n INTERIOR

w. D. Coppernoll, Stewards candi- date for Attorney General, returned on yesterdays freight from trip to Anchorage, Fairbanks and other points in the Interior, having been gone from Seward about a month.
 MT. Coppernoll states that he had most enjoyable trip and was accord ed every courtesy by the splendid peo- pie of that section. Also, on his re- turn he stopped at Curry, Talkeetna, Willow Creek and other stations on the Alaska railroad, where he met with much encouragement, and will leave for Juneau and southeastern Alaska tomorrow in a very optimistic mood.
 While at Fairbanks, MT. Coppernoll enjoyed delightful visit with Presi- dent Bunnell of the Agricultural Col lege and School of Mines, and was as tonished at the progress made in the few short years the college has been in existence. The institution, said MT. Coppernoll, is one which the Ter ritory may well be proud of. Although less than two years in existence 1t has a large student attendance and its future success is assured. Il was amazed and delighted to see the spir- it of unity and cooperation which ex- ists among students and faculty" said MT. Coppernoll. ''The only thing wrong is the lack of needed room to carry on the work of the fac ulty. The present quarters are totally inadequate for present needs. The in stitution is lucky to have a president as efficient and as familiar with the work and the Territory as is President Bunnell."
 Apparently the Interior country is now coming into it's own. New capl- tai is coming into all parts, and much development work upon placer, quartz and coal mines will be done the coming spring. Dredges, mining machinery, and other freight are be- ing constantly moved into the various sections. I feel that from now on, the Fourth Division will be seething with activity. You can say for me-" he concluded, that my heart is with the people of this Division"
 MT. Coppernoll will leave on the Alaska directly for southeastern Alas ka, where he will remain until after the result of the primaries is announc- ed.
