Winging its way over approx
imately 1000 miles in less than
four hours, a message reached
the Office Of former Congress
man William Sulzer in New
York today from Chandalar,
Alaska, 78 miles above the Arc
tic Circle, the most northerly in
habited point in the western
hemisphere.t The message was
transmitted from the Alaskan
settlement over a radio set own
ed BY the signal corps of the
United States Army and oper-
ated by Corporal Evald NJ. Han
son, a member Of that organiza-
1ion. The communication was
sent from Chandalar to Seward,
Alaska, 900 miles, by radio,
thence 1920 miles to Seattle,
Washington, over a submarine
cable Of the signal corps. There
it was transferred to a telegraph
line for its final 5000 mile trip
to New York. The transmission
of this message in less than four
hours has set a new record IN
communications between the
centers Of civilization and the
outlying frontiers, it is believed.
Under the best Of conditions, it
requires two to four months fol

Modern Woman as a
Rebel Against Rules

Ny husband says that no institution
can be successfully run without rules,
and he wishes 1 would be more OBJ
servant Of the golden rule In the
institution we call home.
But really do not care for rules,
and think they must be especially
annoying to the inmates Of prisons.
Just fancy never going to matinee
or recital without an attendant But
my husband says the prisoners do not
care for the same sort of amusements
that / do, and that he, himself, per-
sonally, can imagine no greater pun
fshment for a man than to be obliged
20 attend the average recital.
They have sad rule in our library
which prohibits a barefoot boy from
getting a book, and the boys are so
disappointed and embarrassed.
Just adore barefoot boys, and my
husband says that Whittier did, too.
We once met dear old bishop with
heckles like little ginger snaps who
told us that when he was a kid his
greatest JOY was to feel the warm
mud of spring time oozing up between
his toes. And he said he got his first

Forest Fires

The forest service says that the
amount of damage caused by fire to
forests depends entirely on the type
Of fire. There are three classes Of fire
superficial fire, which burns leaves
of the trees and is not necessarily
dangerous; crown fire, which burns
through the branches and kills them
and is very dangerous and disastrous /;
deep ground fire, which burns off the
roots deep under the trees and de-
stroys the trees and makes very dam
gerous fire. In burning land the fire
consumes all the rotted leaves and
destroys the soil, leaving the mineral
element.

AMERICAN LABOR STRONGLY FAVORS
NON INTERVENTION in AFFAIRS OF
PAN-AMERlCAN LABOR ORGANIZATIONS

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 4-(R9-A firm
declaration in favor of non-intcrven-
ton in the domestic and internal at
fairs of labor organizations affiliat-
cd with the Pan-Amcrican Federation
of Labor. was voiced today by Amer

executive council of the American
Federation of Labor to the forty
sixth annual convention of that or
ganization.
After reporting a gratifying prog
ress in the American labor move
mcnt during the past year, and out
lining several major enterprises for
the year ahead, the executive coun-
ellis report began it's recomm enda-
tions on international relations with
an Outsp0kcn declaration against in
reference sin the, domestic and in
ternal affairs of either Mexico or
other Latin-Amcrican republics
"Qur affiliation with the PAN
American Federation of Labor" the
report says, "has been inspired by
our desire to be helpful to the
J.atin-Amcrican organization in such
efforts as they may put forth to pro-
mote and advance their economic and
industrial welfare -. Our interest
has been concerned purely with the
welfare Of the wage carners of other
countries. We have rcfraincd from
interference in the domestic affairs
and internal affairs of either Mexico
or other Latin American republics.
Principle Of Tolerance
"Thc principle of tolerance is so
firmly embedded in our trade union
practices, that regardless Of creed,
nationality or race, wage carncrs can
unite for the promotion Of mutual
economic interest. But II matters

"Obviously this principle must OBJ

New York, N. Y, Oct. 4-GP)-
Superb pitching prevailed over the
power Of psychology in the second
game in the world series. Urban
Shockcr of the Yankees who, as a
member Of the st. Louis Browns, had
beaten the Cardinals in nine out Of
ten starts in the city series annually
played between the two clubs, was
routed.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, whose
name vies with that Of Walter John
son as one Of the great immortals
of the game, lived up to his reputa-
ton as bascba!l's greatest Onc-gamc
pitcher. In baseball "A great one

courageous march Of the st. Louis
Cardinals to the National league pen
nant, the tough game of any big SER
les was invariably entrusted to Alex
andcr and he seldom failed Manager
Hornsby. With the Yankees out in
front, having captured the first game
Of the series, the second clash was a
most important ono in the affairs Of
the Cardinals. As usual, Hornsby put
it up to Alexander and he came
through in his customary fashion.
Alexander dominated the ball game
from start to finish. In only one in
ming, the third, did the Yankees take
any liberties with his stuff. Even in
that inning, one run would have been
the limit of the New York total had
not the breaks favored the Yanks.
At that it was IL wild toss by Alex
andcr that let Lazzeri score after be-
ing caught in runup. However, had
the play been properly executed, Alex
andcr would have never figured in it.
Cards Faltered Only Once
In that inning only, did the mex
pcricncc of the Cardinals young team
manifest itself. At the time, it seem
ed as if it might be break in the
game that would beat Alexander.
However, the Cardinals had too much
dynamite in their big bats and Alex
anAcr plenty of reserve in his good
right arm. He struck out 10 men and
allowed only four hits.
Aside from the superb pitching of
Alexander and tho fall Of the power
