the building of their homes. It was a scheme apparently akin to that of the genius who evolved perpetual motion method of raising cats for their fur. His plan was to get to- gether bunch of desirable cats, turn them loose on the available rats, keeping the surplus of rats alive on the .oryasses If tEe tats-the source of his stock in trade, which was val uable fur. Somehow this ideal cir cle failed to work-as is the annoy ing habit of schemes of the kind. The Los Angeles investors failed to real- ize on their hopes of building their own homes from a comparatively small initial investment. They have discovered that the best way to build a home is to work hard, conserve their resources, and pay for their homes in real coin of the realm.

PETERBOROUGH SCHEME
 FAILS AGAIN

A group of Los Angeles get-rich- quick artists started $1,000,000 home building corporation with a high-sounding title. One asset to the promotion schemes of the com pany, it appears, was an individual who posed as an erstwhile operatic impressario and close associate of European royalty. Obviously, he added ''tone" to the concern. Now eight of the promoters are facing charges of embezzlement in connec- tion with the alleged swindling of hundreds of would-be home owners, who were persuaded that by invest ing their savings in the corporation they eventually would receive aid in

Recent dispatches from the press carry an article pertaining to the floating cafe" off Fire island on the Atlantic coast. The truth is that it is a myth as later accounts revealed that reporter on a New York daily displayed the floating cafe," beyond the 15-mile limit as place where wild orgies are. held. He received his time the day following the appear ance of the story in the paper.-Re- porters will make mistakes but why did he choose the 15-mile limit-too conspicuous, we'd say.

IS IT "BUNk?"

Hon. John Ruut3ard, in a speech at Anchorage characterized the men ace of the Indian vote now hanging over the Territory as "bunk." Not withstanding that some 700 votes were cast in the First division, two thirds of whom were those of Hitter ate voters, MT. Rustgard character izes as "bunk" the protest of citi- zens of the Territory against such practices being indulged in. The h. dians of the Territory outnumber the white by large majority. In case they were organized as sklfuiiy as were the Indian voters of the First division, what chance would white candidate have to get office. Even the office of the attorney general might be filled by an Indian, which, while it would not prostitute the of- flee to any great extent, would be distasteful to the average elector.
 Unless the great mass of intelli- gent voters of the Territory throw the safeguards of education around the voting booths, there is always danger to the minority. Danger that their rights will be infringed by ig- norant lawmakers; danger that laws that will not stand the test of the courts will be passed, and danger that the white homeowner will be crowded to the wall.
 Thanks to the Women's clubs of Alaska and tn, members of the Ar7- erican Legion, who are backing the fgth for a literacy bill, the clamor for such legislation is becoming too

GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL

Another day at the most will see the American round the world flyers again on American soil. Despite the dangerous adventure no serious accl- dent has as yet befallen the daring aviators, although at times Death has reached out it's grisly hands. The accident to Major Martins plane, while vet over Alaskan terraine was deplorable ,as it was hoped that the flight through the northern empire would be devoid of accidents. Des- bite the sudden ending of the flight leaders tour, he earned creltable glory in carrying on despite motor troubles and heavy gales.
 Lieut.. Wade also was put out of the flight by an accident not of his own volition, as his plane was irrep- arably damaged while being lifted from the water by British cruiser, standing by at the time he was fore ed to descend. However, the air de- partment has offered to furnish him another plane and allow him to con- tinue his interrupted flight.
 The successful conclusion of the round the world flight adds prestige to American laurels. With two out of four planes finishing the long trip it is forceful demonstration of the resourcefulness of American mach ines and mechanics.
 Each aviator should share in the reward, as there is glory enough or all.

anyhow-for why?
When Mother Nature held that con-
vention of birds on the first day that
everything was born, didn't she espe-
cially commission the wren always
to live near the dwellings OF men,
so that her tiny helplessness might
teach them mercy for the weak? You
know she did.
Well, then. how do you suppose
wren could follow out an order like
that unless she was given a memory
to go by?
TO be entirely just, there is also
a Mr. Wren, but he isn't in this story,
because, as the owner OF the pretty
home explains:
Like all American husbands. Mr..
Wren is forced to be self-effacing.
A man parked his car and with his

mail carrier is a fine and friendly
human, who can attend to his own
business without interfering with
hers.
The instant she sees him coming
she flies to a certain limb of a cer-
tain tree and watches him slip in the
letters carefully and then go away.
Then she hops back and twftters with
cheerful excitement, knowing that
when the owner of the box comes for

CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT
WINS IN CONGRESS

The House adopted the child labor
amendment to the federal constitution
on Saturday, April 26. The vote was
297 to SO, or So more than the neces-
sary two-thirds vote
The amendment is as follows:
Section 1. The congress shall
have power to limit, regulate and pro-
hibit the labor of persons under 18
years of age.
Section 2. The power of the sew
eral states is unimpaired by this arti-
Gle except that the operation of state
laws shall be suspended to the extent
necessary to give effect to legislation
enacted by the congress-"
The Senate committee has favorably
reported the identical language in the
House resolution When approved by
the Senate the resolution will be re-
ferred to the states, three-fourths of
these legislatures being necessary for
adoption.
While this action by congress may
be considered as a submission to the
states for referendum, the proposal
was opposed in the house by States
Fighters and those who profess alarm
that the children will be prohibited
from doing any work on the farm.
These congressman make no distinc-
tion between this helpfulness and ex-

CAN THROW EN- OUT,
SAYS COURT

Charleston, w. Va.-The state su-
preme court has ruled that worker
living in company house has none
of the rights assured tenants and ne
and his family can be elected when
he quits the company's employment.
This strikebreaking decision was
made in the case of Watt Angel, who
was elected from house owned by
the Black Band Consolidated Coal
Company when he ceased working for
that concern because of unjust condi-
tions. Angel and his family were
thrown on the highway during the
winter months.
Attorneys for the corporation are
iubilant over the decision. They say
this "simplifies" injunction proceed
ings against striking miners, as these
workers insist on their rights as ten
ants and refuse to have their families
sleep on the roadside.
Corporations may now make occu-
pancy Of their company houses con-
dition of employment and when a
worker quits, his family can be thrown
ON the street. The decision strips the
miner and other workers of every or
dinary right, and if allowed to stand
will prove an invaluable strikebreak-
ing device for corporations of the

TO MOTHER

Mother memories are with us all in
unfading luster. We bow in reverence
before the infinite love and sacrifice
which have glorified the function of
motherhood through all the centuries.
To those of normal nature mother
stands dearest among the sacred rela-
tionships and experiences of this life.
1t is she who puts courage and hon.
or and virtue and faith into our hearts.
No matter how long we may live, no
matter how we may have honored or
debased our lives, we shall remain
true to one ideal-the ideal of mother.
No man who lives true to his men,
cries and ideals of sheltered and moth
cred youth ever goes far wrong in
this life.
To honor and reverence mother is
to experience a glimps of that heaven
may be like; for such honor and rever-
ence bring to us a wealth of love such
as may not be equaled save in that
bourne whence no traveller e'er re-
turns.
And so we remember them. especial
ly so at this time with Mothers Day
near, the mothers living and the moth
ers dead and every memory that stirs
our hearts is one that holds the holy
essence of sincerest prayer.
