PAGE DOCTOR CHASE

Civilization has done much for Alaska in the score and half years of its exist ence as known territory. But 1t has also robbed us of much. It has given us the com forts, some conveniences and pleasures of modern life. But in so doing, 1t has taken away from us those picturesque eras Of the settlers sweeping to our shores to conquer the wilderness, the glamor of frontier days, the rich experiences of Alaska in the mak- ing Today we are just handcuffed coun- try, rapidly becoming bored to death with our sophisticated solons in the States. For excitement we'll have to fly to the North Pole or climb Marathon mountain and tell the world about it.
 But behold! What's this yarn about Doc Chase we had in last nights issue, running in this column. Doc, who travels out into the wilderness of Kodiak Island, and, may be, as reports would indicate, with nothing more than rifle in his hand, fighting the Brown Bair," and once in while bringing in trophy. To tell the story completely, we are sizing up Doc Chase's trips into the wilderness, he being still all together and be- ing able to have his picture syndicated thru out the United States with his latest catch in the Bruin line.
 Not long ago an Associated Press dis patch was received by The Gateway relat- ing the pathetic tale of Big Jim" McCann, of Boise Idaho. Big Jim" having encoun- tered big bruin, so the message read, had his arm torn nearly off and great gashes had been laid open on his head. And then this melodrama about Jim, which could easily be 'graped" to the tales of the Cordova doc tor, believing himself to be dying, scrib- bling on a piece of paper:
 Bill, the bear about killed me, but by God I killed him first"
 Now such wild yarn may go all right in the "movies es'-but no, it wouldn't; it's so un- real to life. We must have something more subtle-Doc Chase has the idea! Big Jim" they say now, is going to get well. But as for those "bare" stories, we will wait for arl- other syndicated by Doc Chase-notes writ ten in blood like the Idaho one seem un- reaL-and besides, we are too civilized up in Alaska for that.

thinking of things of this kind. You tsee, without any warning he came to a place which was really town. He didn't know it. All he saw al
 first was great number of holes
 in the mud of the bank and back
 from the bank a little way. O1
 course, he noticed those holes right away.
 T wonder who made them and if anybody lives in them" said Danny
 to himself.
 As if in answer, out of one of l those holes popped q little crab, but
 the funniest crab Danny had yet seen. It had only one big pinching claw and that was carried up and in front of it in the funniest way. The other pinching claw was small. This crab did not see Danny when he first came out of his hole. Almost at once another one appeared from another hole. This one did not have the big pinching claw, but the two pinching claws were small. In 6, minute crabs were popping out of ] the holes all around Danny. Some i had the single big claw and some did not; and now they did scuttle about! Every once in a while there would be a fight. Something un- seen by Danny frightened them, and ths way they all scuttled for their holes was a sight to see Each one scuttled for the nearest hole, wheth- CT it belonged to him or not. The result was that when the owner of the hole arrived and found some body else i. there he tried to pull the latter out. Like ali the rest of the crabs Danny had seen, these ran sidewise. As soon as all was quiet out they all came once more.
 Their eyes were on little stalks and those stalks were movable. They seemed to be very suspicious and they were forever moving their eyes about. It was funny enough.
 There was no one there to tell Danny what kind of crabs these were. They were Fiddler Crabs. A Fiddler Crab with. the big claw is sfiis r lIhifl. ] llC OIlt NlLIl Iltt lNb pinching claws small is Mrs. Fiddler. Danny was in the middle of a Fid- dler Crab town. Such a sight as il was when all the crabs were out! And if was an even greater sight when he appeared in their midst and suddenly sent them scuttllng 10 their holes Danny was too much taken with watching the crabs to notice their holes. Had he noticed them, he would have discovered that many of them were arched over. The arches were built of mud by the crabs.
 Well" said Danny on his way home. "I don't believe Ill ever see as funny crabs as those fellows with the single big claw" But in this Danny was mistaken.

 No, indeed" I defended myself hotly. but surely there's no need of going to the other extreme and bringing up a street hoodlum."

 Katherine shot a quick. startled glance at her, but Lillian gave her no chance to reply.
 "Oh, yes. I'm managing this sketch" she said lightly, but l knew that her keen eyes were taking in every light and shadow of kath- erine's expressive face. T bribed and banished the yonngster so that we could talk freely. Madge has some sort of inhibition or complex, or other variety of anointed idiocy, that prevents her firm asking you outright a question that must be answered fight away. And I'll throw in the information that upon your answer depends Madge's whole fu- ture. She has the chance with this work of Philip Veritzen's to become a real person of the professional world instead of remaining 8 domes- tic nonenity as far as masculine com- parisons go. Forgive me, Madge, for my brutality, but it's no time to mince words, and you know what l mean"
 The throbbing veins in my temples told me only too we'll what she meant. Dickys manner had pointed her comment upon more than one occasion. In comparison to Edith Fairfax, his office associate and his partner, I was indeed domestic nonenity in his eyes.

l looked up and saw my face in the mirror opposite and shuddered at the awfulness of her story. I real ized that, except ''by the grace of God" it might have been me. l saw Martha Cleaver as she was 1 fifteen years before. starting out just as l was today; young, ambitious, wanting to move the world in her own way, blessed with faith in her self.
 saw John Robi son fifteen years younger than lie was today, and knew that at that time he could easily have been the ideal of any girl
 He was, of course, very hand some-and perhaps he was in love with her. at least he thought he was, and she was in love with him.
 Naturally. he advanced her in the. store, or rather he gave her q chance for which she was made to yap with her soul And having brains as well S beauty she worked late to make good-not for the money in it, but to make the man understand that she was worthy. She did make good, but she incurred the jealousy of other women who with only one-tenth of her talents thought they could do her work bet ter than she herself was doing 1t.
 Each year the work became hard CT and harder as more responsibili- ty was put upon her. More and more she had to devote time to her business. less and less she saw Of the man she loved.

 Scarlet fever is essentially dis
 ease of childhood though it is not confined to this age. It. is most prevalent in temperate climates but may Occur, though with much less frequency, in the tropics. In gen.
 eral, the death rates from scarlet fever are higher in the northern states than in those of, the south.
 Scarlet fever is usually contracted by direct personal contact with per tsons suffering from the disease. ilf- directly by contact with articles 1 freshly soiled by secretions (dis- charges) from the nSse and throat ! of infected persons. or through milk which has been contaminated 1 through milking, or the handling of milk by persons who, while not dis ahled, are suffering from the dis ease, or are sufficiently recovered 1 from an attack to be at work, but who are still capable of conveying 1 the infection.
 Some cases of scarlet fever are so mild as to Ego unrecognized, and these missed" cases help. to spread l the disease.
 Most cases and deaths from scar let fever occur in children under school age, though the disease is un- common in infants before the sev- onth month. When scarlet fever does occur in infants it is usually quite severe, and the younger the child the more dangerous the disease, as rule.
 Two Very important complications that are apt to occur in scarlet fever are middle ear disease, which may result in deafness, and acute inflammation of the kidneys, which may develop even in mild case and after the patient is apparently well.
 Quite recently new discoveries have been made in the study of scarlet fever. which promise to lead to improved methods in diagnosis, in treatment, and in the prevention of this deases. The accompanying chart shows the trend of scarlet fever in the original registration area of the United States during recent years.

Lillians Move to Make Katherin,
 Housckeeper for Madge.

IluianS : h0Ne 10 hdke Katherine
 Housekeeper for Madge.
 Characteristically Lillian wasted no time in the "thrashing out" of the thing which had been troubling me, that Of again preaching to kath- crime my desire that she should take over the care of Junior for the year of historical research which l had promised Philip Veritzen l would un- dertake for him. She waited only for Junior to finish his ecstatic hug ging of me, and then she spoke briskly:
 T brought a surprise with me to- day for a certain boy who has had a nap whole hour 1 wish I could find him."
 It is an old game which Lillian has invented for Junior, The sur prise" is a caricature of himself in some ridiculous attitude with an accompanying nonsensical jingle. Junior prizes them above all other possible toys, and have carefully filed all of them, as a valuable memento of this gifted and generous friend, to whom each of these ef- forts means the same thing that really lavish gift of money would man to other people, Junior scrambled down from my lap and dashed over to her.
 Am I the certain boy Aunt Lillian?" he asked earnestly. 'Oh. please say am!"
 She looked down at him with a simulated sternness which he under stands and enjoys hugely,
 T don't know" she said. Have you had nap of whole hour?"
 No, but I'm going to have one, right this minute" he cried. "Then when I wake up. may have the rurprise?"
 You certainly may" she prom ised, and Junior started for the rear room on the run.
 Nobody need come with me-" he threw over his shoulder. I'll take of my things and put on my bath robe, and cover up all my own self, you bet your boots. Then it will be an hour from this minute"
 Heroically we waited to laugh un- til the door had closed behind him.
 "He didn't want any of that hour

you ask me, everything is queer around here"
 It was with a little sigh of thank fulness that he finally curled up in his own snug bed to sleep. Then he dreamed of crabs. He dreamed of crabs with great big pinching claw S, and they were always reaching for him. He still couldn't get over the Idea that they were spiders wearing shells, great big armored spiders. II didn't seem 10 him that he ever would get used 10 them.
 The next morning Danny once more went exploring out on the salt marsh. He couldn't help but feel more comfortable over there in the grass. even though if were not the kind of grass he was used to. By and by he came to the bank Of a creek, which you know is a stream of wal CT. Ii was salt water creek. Dan ny didn't know it. but if was reaqly a branch of the mouth of the Rig River. which came down from the Gwrn Meadows where he had lived all his life. But Danny wasn't
