U. 5. Troops In Action World War Shown In
 Pictures Last Night

Flashes of Action" shown last night at Odd Fellows hall, at the joint meeting of the Legion and Auxiliary, was very instructive and entertaining. The picture carries one through the experiences of the American forces from the time they departed from New York for France and return.
 The pictures were taken by the Sig nal Corps of the U. S. Army and in many scenes the operator was in the thickest of the fight with shell burst ing before the camera and our own men falling as they went lover the top." For those who did not see action the picture was a revelation, and to those who did, it brought back the gruesome memories of the great ex- perience."
 Over fifty members of the Legion and Auxiliary were present together with the members of the Spanish-Am- erican War veterans, who were invited guests.
 Following the exhibition of the pie ture very delightful lunch was serv- ed by the ladies of the Auxiliary.

 ALASKAN EXPERIENCES
 A Southerner's First Christmas
 By THOS. PHILIP GRAHAM
 Born and reared in the far South, the writer first knew Christmas as It was observed there. He has seen and enjoyed the season a few times in Oregon, and in Washington, and as many more in the state of Idaho. Twenty-one in all. Now he has just seen his first Christmas in Alaska just little less than 1000 miles near CT the North Pole than where he saw his first Christmas away down in Georgia; and five hours vest of there. It is in the town of Seward.
 Ten days or more before Christmas the town began to take the seasons appearance, especially in the business section, as evidenced by goods on dis play in the stores, and beautifully dec orated windows. But Christmas be- gan in earnest Christmas eve with big Community tree in one of the towns large halls. This occasion was sponsored by the local organization of the Pioneers of Alaska, and was presided over by the Honorable Mayor of the town. Every child in the com munity was remembered; and they were happy. Everyone seemed to have caught the Christmas spirit, and wished happiness to all.
 Christmas day was quiet, more so than any we recall. Business houses, except restaurants and pool halls, were closed, and the town was really quieter than is Sunday usually. In al most every home was a tree, with nu- merous "remembrances'' whether there were little ones in the home or not. And it was a day of much so- cial pleasure at least, for many of our people either entertained friends at Christmas dinner, or themselevs were dinner guests in other homes.
 Saturday afternoon there was a Christmas tree at the church for the Sunday School children. The special observance of the season closed with the services at the church Sunday morning, with the entire service of such character as to bring anew to us all the story of the first Christmas and it's meaning to ourselves, and to all mankind.
 Thus ended our first Christmas in Alaska: and in this "far-away-north" the Christ seemed just little nearer, and His love for the children of men just little more wonderful than ever before.
Seward daily gateway., 1926-03-10

Der attended a meeting in San Fran cisco, where plans were agreed upon that Alaska be mentioned in the ad- vertising campaign of the principal cities of the Pacific Coast.
 For instance, Los Angeles and San Francisco are conducting campaigns which approximate an expense of S400, ,000~~a year each. Portland, the Puget Saunders and Seattle, are also conducting similar campaigns at con- siderable expense. In all of these Alaska will be mentioned as above stated without cost to the Territory or it's commercial organizations. Un- occasionally this will stimulate the growing interest that the people of our country have in Alaska.
 In calling your attention to this matter it is with the thought that the Commercial organizations of the territory should so lay their plans as to realize the best possible results To- cally from this publicity. Never be- fore has there been such an interest turnout the country in Alaska. More inquiries are reaching this desk by way of correspondence and person. al application for general and specific knowledge than ever before. The tide of Alaska travel for 1926 is al- ready at a hih stae. There is no sign of slump such as occurred last spring. It looks now as if the de- mand for passage will be greater than the capacity.

Material Needed to

The familiar expression "a
square meal" may be adapted to

all the material that the body
needs. say Il. ii. A. Plimmer of the

Plimmer in uygeia Magazine. The

The fat. carbohydrate, mineral salts
and water: the corners are filled re-
spectiVely with yitamines \, b and
& and protein +.
The corner A represents both the
fat soluble Nitamines A and -,
which are found in the same foods.
Foods from the same corner may
be used alternatively, but a food
from one corner is not q substitute
for one from another corner. A
square meal consists of food from
all four corners in suitable proper"
tons.
Some Of the foods in the \ cor

egg yolk and liver; in the c cor

Odd Pillar Formation
-. the Work of Nature

Columns Of pillars Of various
mineral matters, sometimes OF great
size, have been found by geolo-
giEts. They are said to have been
formed by unequal weathering.
Similar Ice pillars are sometimes
seen on the surface Of Il glacier, due
TO- the protection OF the ice from
melting under the heat Of the sun
~ the shadow cast by the rock
mass.
There are rain made columns con-
tAtning many large stones near An.
telope park in a small tributary Of
the Rio Grande. The stones protect
the portion beneath them from the
rain. When the waters descended,
tile walls being made first, they
formed the columns shown. Some
Of the columns are 60 or 80 feet
high, and some 400 feet high.
In certain districts sandstones
have been split and left in frag-
ments, resembling huge single
stones that SO closely cover the sur
face that In many places one can
leap from stone to stone without
descending to the ground. These
stones are frequently OF consider
able size. many Of them being from
20 to 20 feet across and IL feet In
thickness.
Stones OF this character have
been employee for the formation OF
the sO-called Druidical circles, and
are therefore called the Druid
stones. Sometimes stones Of this
character, from their resemblance
at distance to q flock OF sheep.
are called gray wethers.

Irish Surna777es Rank
With Worlds Oldest

1t win be news to many people
that Irish surnames are the Oldest
in Europe except the Venetian, anu
moreover not Il single one of the
great Irish family names is taken
from any trade or occupation
every one is derived from some
noted ancestor. usually prince or
military commander. Things are
far different in England. Thus
Howard, the family name of the
dukes of Norfolk, is derived from
Hog-ward, or guardian of pigs,
English surnames, moreover, are
extremely recent. There is. for ex-
ample, not Il single English sur
name that goes back beyond the
Eleventh century, and the Oldest
surnameS are not English but Nor
man-French On the other hand. in
Ireland there is not single sur
name in Ia or @ which does not
go back to the Eleventh century
or beyond it. Surnames in Mac
are more recent. Q or Ia means
grandson; Nj means grand
daughter; Mac means "Son."
| believe there is not single
Irish name that has not been
changed in its translation from
Gaelic into Engllsh-the English
form usually represents the pro-
nunciation of the historic Irish
form. In Leinster, however, where
the English first established foot
ing, the assumption of English In
place of Irish names was compelled
by law, translation being the proc
ess usually adopted.-From a Let

Music Charms Horses

Horses are particularly sensitive
to music, especially martial airs. In
1892 a certain British regiment was
making military test marc,l.
When the music started a young
horse, ridden by captain, has
tened forward and placed itself, in
spite OF Its rider. behind the last
rank OF the musicians. Then it fol
lowed peacefully, giving obvious
signs of pleasure When the music
ceased the captain was able to re-
sumo his place at the head of his
company. But when the band struck
mp again the horse galloped ahead,
aud once more placed itself behind
the musicians.
