more. he writes good tunes. He has

TALK sTIRs D!ScoRD

Every thoughtful person must be impressed time and again withs the pernicious effects of loose talking and writing. Perhaps half of the enmities and antagonisms which be- set the world might be traced di- rectly to irresponsible and vicious talk.
 Not only does it affect individuals, making enemies of people who ought to be friends, but it is productive of discord and even war among na- tions.
 In the present unsettled and deli cate state of world affairs a great injury to the interests of peace is being done by incorporate utter ances of psudo-statesmen, who reck- lessly disregard the views and sen abilities of other nations in order to impress home people with an eX. aggerated idea of their own patriot. ism. The United States has its full share of these jingoes, who would imperil our international relations for the sake of popular applause and votes.
 Too many of our newspapers il lustrate the same tendency, through irritating editorial expressions which cause unfavorable reactions when reprinted in foreign countries and make the task of our diplomats in creasingly difficult
 1t goes without saying that we should always be found ready and willing to take a firm stand wher ever onr real interests are at stake but this may be done in a sane and dignified manner without resortine to unnecessarily offensive tactics.
 Statesmen and nationals of all countries might contribute measur ably to n. caus. of paace by re training from violent and ill-con sidered outbursts that tend to az gravate an already difficult problem

IOTA CHANGED CREED

Sometimes the expression mot one iota of difference" Is heard, meaning that the difference between the things mentioned is negligible or of no i'm portance. Few probably know, how ever that the difference of "one iota" changed the entire significance of the Christian religion.
 The word ''iota" is the name of the Greek letter corresponding to the Eng fish i.' In formulating a Christian creed, differences arose as to whether the Greek word "homoiousion" or "ho- moosiou" should be used in describ- ing the relationship of Christ to the Father, the former indicating that Christ was of like" substance, while the latter denoted lone" substance with the Father.
 This difference of only one letter caused a serious division in the early church, which led to decision of the first ecumenical council at Nicea, in 325, adopting the version "one sub- stance with the Father" as part of the Nicene Creed. Thus the drop ping of one letter 1900 years ago changed one of the important dogmas of the Christian faith.
 Since that time numerous changes ill the creed have been made by gen. eral councils of the Catholic Church. The original Nicene Creed adopted in 325 is translated into English as fol- lows:
 We believe in oneeGod, the Father Almighty, Maker of all things, visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father, His only begotten, that is, of the substance of the Father; God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God; Begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made, both the Earth; Who for the sake of us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven and was incarnate, and was made man; Who suffered, and rose again the third day. and ascend ed into the heavens, and is to come again to judge the quick and the dead And in the Holy Ghost"
 The so-called Apostles Creed in it's present form appears to have been unknown until TOO or 800 years af- ter Christ.

GREAT SUSPENSE IN
 NEW MYSTERY DRAMA

To those who like mystery ill their dramatic entertainment, a treat is promised tonight when "The Girl on the Stairs," the latest Elmer Harris Production in which Patsy Ruth Mill Ter is starred, is given it's first show ing at the Liberty theatre.
 Briefly the story centers around a sleep walking girl. One night, during one of her somnambulistic strolls, a murder is committed in the house which adjoins her home. Just before the discovery of the body of the mur- dered man she is seen descending the stairs from his bed chamber. AS a motive for the killing, a packet of love letters written by the girl dur ing her school days is found in the mans room. Added to all this evi- dence, her footprint is discovered on the knife with which the murder was committed. Her guilt seems certain and it is not until the last reel that the mystery is unravelled.
 Harris has surrounded Miss Miller with an imposing array of talent in cluded in which are Niles Welch, Ar line Pretty, Shannon Day, Michae Dark and several others.

SAVE OUR TREES

Forest fires which disastrously de. plete our growing stock of building material, and this applies to Alaska as we'll as the rest of the United States, by millions of dollars each year are largely due to the careless ness of campers, tourists, vacation ists and homesteaders as we'll as log. gers and railroads. A match or cig- arctic but dropped in dry leaves or mould or a camp fire left burning may be famed by the wind and be- come a devastating conflagration. It takes over fifty years to grow some kinds of trees, others two hundred years, yet a vast forest can be des- troyed by fire in few hours.
 Therefore, constant application of carefulness while in timber-land is a paramount duty of every citizen.
