Deanie went out and did some vigor- ous bicycle riding to get ready for the race, and then came back and said that she actually had stomach ache.
 That stopped alter l got all of the half cheWed food dig ested, but that didn't seem to teach her a lesson. Her father gave her a dollar and foolishly she spent it for ice cream and candy. Then she went out and ran race, which she didn't win on account of a stomach ache We'll, that didn't bother her a bit, so she went into restaur ant and had a piece of mince pie and a cup of cocoa. After the hot cocoa she went outside and got some ice water. 1t took me very long time and much of my energy to heat that up to 9o'.

SCHOOL NOTES Why Southeastern Alaska Should Become a State
 Fred Seltenreich

Fred Seltenreich
 Southeastern Alaska should become a state because it pays almost all of the taxes, and the rest of Alaska gets the benifit of 1t. When the rest of the div lslOnS Want to build something like the college they let them have $l63,O0O, but when South, eastern Alaska wanted some money to maintain a fish hatch. cry they could hardly get the money for it. That is why | think that Southeastern Alaska should become a state.
 Southeastern Alaska Should
 Not Become a State
 Theodore Seltenreich
 l believe Southeastern Alas ka should not become a state because 1t would shut off the rest of the divisions in Alaska. There wouldn't be any taxes for the rest of Alaska. There would be no inhabitants in the other three divisions, because all the best cities are in South eastern Alaska.
 IT Alaska became a state it could never have enough money to pay it's debts. It costs $7,OOO, O)O a yea 10 support the Gov ernmenV of Alaska.

The news reached town Monday
afternoon of a fire at the Chas. S.

about ten miles southwest of town.
The fire originated in the upper
room near the roof. Just how it
started is not known, as no one
was there when the fire broke out.
George Thayer, who was living in
the house at the time, was not at
home, but arrived about the time
the flames had enveloped the build

wearing apparel and a lamp, but
could save nothing else. The build

about ten thousand dollars in con-
struction. We are not informed as

SLIM CHANCE is SEEN
FOR D. C. LEGISLATION
President Informed of Important
Measures Likely to Fail
at Present Session.

Hopes of passing the more impor-
tant legislation affecting the District
Of Columbia now pending in the House
were by no means frightened as the
result of legislative conference held
at the White House today.
The President summoned Speaker
Gillett, House Leader Longworth and
Representative Smell, chairman of the
rules committee, to the White House to
inform him as to the true situation of
the legislative program al this time in
that body During the review furnished
the President by these leaders it was
represented that they did not feel in
c!ined to put the civil service retire
ment bill upon the list of those bills to
receive preference, or right of way,
during the remainder of the session.
These leaders intimated after see
ing the President that there are other
matters of far more general impor-
tance which should be brought to the
attention of Congress and that they
saw no reason why this retirement
legislation should not be left to stand
on it's own merits and take its
chances of getting through the elev-
enth- hour jam. They see no reason
why they should provide a special
rule for this measure.
1t was stated by the leaders that
the proposed rent control bill and the
reclassification bill were not even
mentioned during this conference.
The intimation was given, however.
that the retirement bill probably will
have good chance to pass the House
if it meets with success in the Senate.

COMMITTEE GIVES
OIL TO TWO JUDGES
Mcmahon and Miss Sellers
Names to Be Reported
FavorabIy to Senate.

The nomination of Judge John T.
Mcmahon to succeed himself as Judge
of the Police Court of the District of
Columbia was ordered favorably re-
ported to the Senate today by the
Senate judiciary committee.
The judiciary committee also or
dered favorable report on the nomi-
nation of Judge Kathryn Sellers, to
succeed herself as judge of the Dis
trict Juvenile Court.
The nominations now go to the ex-
ecutive calendar of the Senate, and 1t
is expected they Will be confirmed.
Both of these nominations were at
tackled at hearings before Subcom-
mittee of the judiciary committee,
headed by Senator Means of Colorado.
But the subcommittee reported them
favorably to the full committee.
The nomination of Judge Mcmahon
was criticized by representatives of
several reform organizations, who in
sisted that Judge McMahon's attitude
on the bench did not make for eff
cient enforcement of the prohibition
act Officers of the vice squad of the
metropolitan police also appeared be-
force the committee and testified that
he did not cooperate with the po-
lice. Supporters of Judge Mcmahon
vigorously denied these charges, and
declared that he made a fair and
courageous judge.
The criticism of Judge Sellers was
to the effect that she was arbitrary
and listened only to social workers.
These charges were denied by many
witnesses who appeared for Judge
Sellers and by Judge Sellers herself

four LOCAL BILLS
PASS COMMITTEE
House Body Reports Favor
ably on PoIiceWomen'S
Measure.

Four bills were reported favora bly,
oy the House District committe at
short session today They were: To
established woman's bureau in the
Iollce Department. to give the Juve-
nile Court jurisdiction over non-sup-
port cases, to acquire certain lands
south of the Avenue for the beautifi-
cation of the National Capital and to
revise the act relating to the appoint
ment of the recorder of deeds.
The committee also decided to
change the order of bills to be taken
up for passage at the last District
day in the House. The fve-year
building program bill. which passed
the Senate in five minutes recently,
was placed ahead of the traffic bill.
which is expected to evoke consider
able discussion. Members of the COM
mittee anticipate no controversy
over the school building measure and
believe that it will facilitate matters
to place it first.
Rules Committee Called.
Representative Hammer made
strong effort TO assure consideration
of the rent bill before the House ad-
Journs, and urged that Chairman
Reed approach leaders of the House
to give II special consideration.
He was told by Representative
Reed that A meeting of the rules
committee had been called for tomor-
row and the question of what time
II any could be allotted to the measure
would he decided.
As matters stand now the school
building measure is first on the list
10 be taken up today, the ira ffio bill
second, and the rent bill third, but
members of the committee are said to
believe that there is little or no
chance of the rent bill being reached,
Although Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle,
head of the Womans Bureau, and
others were present to testify before
the committee on the need for the bill
establishing the bureau by law, only
a few perfunctory questions were
asked and quick action was taken.
Representative Underhill of Massa-
chusetts. chairman of the subcommit-
tee which had been considering the
measure, asked Mrs. Van Wrinkle sew
eral questions to clarity certain pro-
visions, but no further amendments
were made.

Peanuts Form Big Industry.

Little peanuts are the basis of a
big industry in Petersburg. Va,
where there are several great fac
tories exclusively devoted to making
peanut butter, oil. and other products
from the tiny ground-nuts which are
too small and imperfect to find a
market in the usual nut vending
channels. The factories were started
some years ago when an enterprising z
business man discovered that the
residents of the peanut-growing sec
tions would eat only the smaller ker-
nels. Today, however, the smaller
nuts, because of their flavor, demand
the higher prices.

KING WILL LEAVE
LONDON FOR REST
To Pass Remainder of Winter
in France to Recover
Health.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LONDON, February 23.-Although
1t is known through the medical bull
letins issued from buckingham Pal
ace that King Georges condition is
not serious as a result of his attack
of bronchitis, the fact that his ply
sicians have ordered him to the
Mediterranean for the remainder of
the Winter has caused quite a stir,
of which the newspapers take full
advantage for front page displays.
His majesty's health is ordinarily
so good and his foreign visits so in
frequent that his going abroad is
treated as an important event.
Unlike his father, King Edward VII,
who in the later years of his life
usually spent part of the Winter in
Southern Europe. and his grand
mother, Queen Victoria, who also
often went there, King George has
not been south, with the exception of
his brief formal trip to Italy In 1923,
since his accession to the throne in
1910, his only other foreign visits
having been to France during the
war. when he so often joined the
British army there.
10 MAKE Trip on Yacht.
Ii is understood he will make the
trip south aboard the royal steam
yacht Victoria and Albert, ship of
about 400 tons. which, like the
American presidential yacht May
flower, is maintained by government
appropriation for the use of the head
of the state. The yacht is already
being placed in readiness at Ports

which is yet to be decided, but which
1t expected to be very soon
Queen Mary probably will not ac-
company the King on the yacht, as
she is bad sailor and dislil1es being
at sea. except in fine weather 1t is
expected she will cross the channel
to Calais and journey southwark by
train to join her husband The King g
uncle, the Duke of Connaught, who
always spends the Winter on the Ri
viera. Is staying at his villa near
Beaulieu. 1t is probable the Queen
will make her home there while the
King is recuperating
VIII Have Real Holiday.
1t is expected the King will be kept
as free as possible from affairs of
state while on his voyage. and in
this respect II will be his first real
as during his annual visits to Cowes
for the yachting and to Scotland and
Sandringham for the shooting he is
always in close touch with his min
listers and spends good part of each
day in transacting business.
The present position is that the
Prince of wales will carry out his
tour OF South Africa and South Amer
lea, as scheduled. but it is already
being remarked that il is quite un-
usual for the King and the heir to the
throne both to be absent from the
kingdom at the same time. There
seems to be. however. no constitu
| tional reason against such an ar
rangement.
In this case 1t is presumable that
the royal duties will devolve upon
| the Kings third son. Prince Eenrv
as the Duke of York is hunting in At
! RIGA.
The Kings physicians remained
