Chicago.-Ghicago society women today defed the health department and local courts to prevent them from teaching methods of birth con- trol to women of the poor districts.
 Two clinics were in full operation in the Loop district i'll defiance of two refusals of the health department to grant them licenses, supported by a courts refusal to issue q writ of man. damus.
 The clinics are s.-ealled medical centers," but, according to Mrs. Ben jamin. Carpenter, in charge, they teach nothing but birth control. i Women patients are asked to pay nominal fees for advice given them by physicians, but Mrs. Carpenter said no one is turned away untutored be- cause she can not afford the fee.
 The health department refused per mits on the ground that "a life pre- vented is a life destroyed.

GOVT. BIOLOGISTS FIND REM
 NANTS OF ARCTIC VILLAGES

Seattle.-rraces of forgotten h. dian villages supposedly abandoned after influenzt epidemics of fifty or one hundred years ago, were seen by Gerald Fitz Gerald and the members of his geological survey party during the summer, along the Colville river, in the northern part of Alaska. These discoveries were disclosed by Fitz Gerald shortly before leaving Seattle for Washington to prepare his official report in connection with the investi- gation of the naval oil reserves in the Arctic region.
 The party found valley known among the Indians as the "Valley of Winds" but of such evil repute that none of the Indians would accompany the party to the spot. The geologists invaded the region alone, ana were rewarded by finding deserted will lage; consisting of one hut, some wooden utensils, pottery, bones and the fragments of old sleds, but there were no living Indians within many miles of the spot. Indians living in the country surrounding the "valley" told the geologists they could not re- members when the village had been occupied last.

USE OF TWO-DOLLAR BILLS
 MEANS X BIG SAVING.


 Washington.-A saving of $1,000,- 900 year to the government could be brought about if people would use g bills more extensively, the United States bureau of efficiency said today in continuing it's campaign against the excessive use of $1 bills.
 ''The $1 bill has it's proper place in the currency scheme, but as a result of mere habit it has come to be used out of that place. said the bureau. "The public is using $1 bills where it should use twos, five and tens. This Is causing the bulk of paper money in banks and business establishments to become too large.
 "A further act of unwisdom on the part of the public is the avoidance of the $2 bill based on a mere supersti- tion coming down from old gambling days that it is uniucky. This foolish superstition should be brushed aside in the interest of money efficiency, and the S2 bill should be given it's proper place in the currency" r

EASTERN EDITOR COMMENTS
 ON REPRESENTATIVE FREE
Steward Gateway.i

JohE M. Geissner editor of the Washington Daily News, published at Washington, D. C., one of the fore most newspapermen of the United States, makes the following comment in a recent issue of his paper regard ing Dan Sutherland, Alaska Delegate to Congress:
 "AIaska will send Dan Sutherland pack to Washington to be represent ative neXt.-y in spite of recent at sacks by Representative Free, of Cal ifornia,. if editopia comments in the Territory's publications, are any index of public feeling.
 Free. who is d. member of the House committee on fisheries, toured Alaska. last summer. on vessel of oner of the large packing canneries, and gave. out numerous interviews. He advocated taking the vote from the ,illiterate natives, selling the gov ernment railway, opening the forests to the paper mills, opening. mines to the big operators, and giving the bu- reaq of fisheries complete control of Alaska packers
 And in regard to Sutherland he is quoted as; saying: As it is now, the intelligent people have no voice in Washington. Only the natives have d voice speaking for them. Cheap In dian lawyers are expressing the will of Alaska today, and the very intelli- gent and delightful people are having no voice so far as the policies of Alaska are concerned.'
 What about political ethics?'' says one editoria. comment. C We don't welcome. your mRddiing in local Alas kan politics. True, we are not 'intelli- gent and we cannot appreciate your slurs, insults and truths against Dan Sutherland and those of us who were ignerant1enough> to elect him last Mo- yember by g majority of almost two votes to@one.
 "In our ignorant, illiterate way we understand that Delegate Sutherland put that provision in the White law which says that no exclusive right of fishery shall be granted therein,
The Kusko times., 1925-12-12

nor shall any citizen of the United States be deprived the right to take, cure or preserve fish, etc.
 'NThat provision means that any of us can fish with the best of you 'in- telligent and delightful people. We Alaskans who are not intelIigenzia like that provision.
 ''We like Sutherland's voice, and while 1t may not be the voice of Ja- cob, neither is the hand the voice of Esau."

infany--they have degenerated into
a sort of sanctuary in which the prac-
tice of coddIing and pampering the
lawbreaEer and the pervert has been
reduced to q science or fine art. A
sentence to one Of the penal institu-
tions of the state is now looked upon
by the lawbreaker with something app
preaching tolerance--a little annoy
ing, perhaps, as interfering with Gus
tomary routine, but on the whole as a
species Of compulsory vacation during
which he can recuperate.
And then Mr.. Childs adds the words
of a prisoner:
"Oh, we'll, III get mine--two or
three years Good behavior, women
on the parole board; say, altogether
IA months Not so bad in the peni-
tertiary at that"
Conditions in different states are
not the same, all penitantiaries are
not alike; but there must be some ex-
cuse for the amount of crime that is
sweeuing this country. If prisoners
look upon the penitentiary as a sum
mer sporting club, there is little in
centive to keep them on the outside
of the walls. Every prisoner can tell
hard luck story that will bring tears
to the eyes of the soft-hearted, but it
does not correct the crime for which
he is sentenced. The crime can never
be corrected, but the prisoner may be
