NENANA TO NOME WINTER RACE
 PUT TO POETRY
FAMOUS SERUM RACE TO NOME. FEATURING kASSON AND
 BALTIC, IN POEM.

Entitled, "The Lay Relay" the fol. lowing poem of the Nenana-N Nome dlpthheria antitoxin, dog race of last winter, appears in the late number of the Short Story Magazine. The poem was written by Henry Her. bert Knibbs, prominent writer. The editor of the magazine has the fol- lowing to say regarding the poem:
 Just as a personal matter, an honest glorying in miracle of cour- age, many reader will cut out the two pages of Knibbs' splendid poem in this issue, and preserve them among what records he keeps to as- sure himself and others that the world is good; that life is we'll worth the living and the striving. What ever the outcome of our reader edi- torial discussion may be-whether spiritual, moral, or bluff bulldog cour- age is deemed the greater-the dog Balto and his master Kasson will stand together on their pinnacle. For in them, in dog and man, was fusing of physical and moral cour- age unsurpassed"

} of discrediting prohibition" /"


 pose of discrediting prohibition"
 On the question of public senti ment, the report declared there could be little doubt as to the mood of the country when prohibition was adopted, but that since that time var ous elements had somewhat com plicated the situation. On the sub ject however,-the saloon-the evi dence appealed more decisive. Il was said that there seems to be not the least doubt that the country has accepted with satisfaction the passing of the saloon"
 Most of the data compiled in the investigation was reserved for future disclosure, but the section of the re. port made public tonight contained two sets of figures.
 One summarized the responses to a questionaire sent out to members of the National Conference of Social Work, a majority of whom reported that conditions in the homes of the poor had improved in various ways under prohibition, that children's de- linquency was decreasing, and that liquor was less accessible than for merly to minors, but that drinking among young people had increased as compared to re-prohibition times and general respect for law had de creased
 The other tabulation related to in temperance as af actor in depen- dency, and was summarized in the report as showing that altho there was sharp drop in such cases about 1920, there has been "very decided and fairly consistent increas- es since that date" although there is an encouraging number of cities that report decreases in 1924"
 The report, other sections of which are to be made public daily over the coming week, was prepared under the direction of the Rev. F. Ernest Johnson, head of the Federal Councils Research and Education Department. In foreward, he de- clared the study had been undertaken in order to give a "fair appraisal" unbiased by personal opinion, and uninfluenced by the great mass of current literature which had eman- ated from biased sources.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 21. (F) "A belief that prohibition in the United States is facing a supreme test, with the final outcome in doubt was expressed tonight in a report compiled after months of investi- gation by the Research and Educa ton Department of the Federal Council of Churches.
 No one can say with positiveness what the ultimate outcome ot this test will be-" said the repor, No cocksure optimism is warranted, nor is pessimism of 'defeatism justified by the facts. Much seems to depend upon the development of public opin- ion in the near future"
 An "unfavorable and disquieting" trend since 1920 in the social conse- Quences of prohibition was seen by the investigators in statistics gather ed from many sources, but the re- port declared no available statistical data could be accepted as conclusive and pointed out that the wholesome effects of prohibition are registered in inconspicuous ways which cannot be reduced to statistical tabulation.
 Many of the claims made by those on both sides of the controversy were discarded as virtually worthless. Pub Iicity material circulated with view to influencing public opinion was declared to have been based largely on questionable data.
 Prohibition publicity has suffered much" said the report, from care less and unwarranted differences. Much of the publicity given out by the Prohibition Unit in the Treasury Department has been of this unfor- tunate kind. On the other hand, much unjust and misleading propa- ganda has been put out for the pur-

THE LAST RELAY

Help, or we perish." The cry wen forth, From the heart of Nome in the si lent North,
 As black scourge smOte the land Terror shadowed each stricken home And hope grew wan in the streets O
 Nome,
 Till the long relay was planned. Relief! From a snow-girt city, far, | Where shone the light of the Mercy Star,
 And the brave were quick to heed The cry of their kindred, leagues
 away. As the taut wire told of the first re
 lay,
 To answer a peoples need. Then, boring down through the bitter
 day, Sped the straining team of the next
 relay,
 And the cry, "Mush on. Mush on.' Again was the priceless freight trans
 ferred, To him who waited sign, word, And the next relay was gone. And so the burden to Kasson came, And little he dreamed of praise or
 fame,
 Yet we'll, too we'll he knew, That of no avail was the task begun, If he faltered once on the final run, And three-scOre miles to do.
  His work And again, "Mush on!
 Mush on!" Till he gained the station of Solo Wait there!" came the terse de-
 cree; Storm-and forty degrees below, Landmarks lost in the drift of snow Did Kasson wait? Not he! Ever his desperate course he held, While the rage of the blizzard beat
 and swelled, Till lost in the wild snow-foam, The huskies turned in their tracks
 and stood, Storm-whipped, shorn of their hardi-
 hood,
 On the last relay to Nome. Lost, Yet one of that splendid team, Balto, the block dog, eyes agleam, Answered his masters call, Sprang to the lead and the trail was
 found, And Safety won, on the storm-swept
 Sound:
 Balto, that saved them all! Gunnar Kasson has little to say, Only, My Balto found the way, His feet they go pretty sore!" Yet Balto's name is in many lands, And fashioned in rugged bronze, he
 stands,
 A hero, forever more.

He looked upward slowly, gave her

Her heart knocked with a guilty
rush. as though she stood before him

the high purity she imagined his.
She could have taken the pin then
and flung it from the window.
At noon she was rushing down

had a scourging of out

She rallied valiantly: But it
takes all the beauty out of love,
Janina, if you make it so common.
1t isn't any longer a great. sweep

Janina shrugged. You're a little

Jake's worrying you, is he?"
"He isn't anything Of the kind.

Janina. It's true, though"
You mean to tell me you've been

"Oh. I'm not trying to tell you

Janina stared at her. Chickie met
it coolly. Then Janina said with
her lips white: 1T would be like

When Chickie reached home she

The stones were beautiful-they
brought out gently lights in. her
eyes, they cleaned with chaste pas
sion against the white Of her waist.
She needed a pin like that-she
wanted it. Her imagination took
possession of it.
Later If she discovered Jake

expected it to make any difference
between them, why. she could re-
