While airplanes and dogteams are pushing ahead towards the North Pole, the Alaskan road-builder is slowly but surely penetrating the Far North with an automobile high way, according to Frank McCafferty, master mechanic of the Alaska road commission, who came in on the s. $. Alaska from Seattle where he has been inspecting roadbuilding mach inerp. While in Seattle he placed an order for five Ford trucks, three Fordson tractors and three road sters with pickup bodies, for use in the Northern territory this year and which were shipped thru Seward last week.
 What is probably the largest job on the 1926 program, according to McCafferty, is the extension of the highway running north towards Cir cle, out of Fairbanks. This road is now built to Chatanika, some 8 miles northeast of the railroad ter minis.

Cautious or Foolish?

E71HEN Martin Sheets very rich man Of
wv Terre Haute, thought that he was about
to die, he had telephone and electric lights
installed in the vault to which his lifeless clay
would be consigned
Very carefully he designed all the details
by which, if miracle should happen and he
should suddenly awaken from his sleep, he
might summon the outside world to come to his
rescue.
He had lived not only in the fear of being
buried alive, but with the hope that the doc
tors might be wrong He carried with him
continually the desire to live just little
longer.
Not such an unusual desire, that hope Of
longer life; only his method was different
How much longer might he have lived had
he spent the time in which he worried over
being buried alive in trying to devise means
not to de9
How much would you give were you able
to so arrange to come back to this old world
after the minister had pronounced your eulogy
and the4ast rites have been performed by sor-
rowing friends9
No one has yet been able to accomplish
that but every may postpone the hour Of
death by years if they begin in time.
That time is when you are a boy or girl
by building up a strong body through health
full exercise and the avoidance Of dissipation
and bad habits.
You can prolong it even more if in the
mature portion of your life, you follow reg
ular routine of sensible diet, for it is an old
truism that many men dig their graves with
their teeth. Most Of us eat too much and the
wrong kind Of food.
Most of us neglect the strength and life
that comes from fresh air and sunshine and
many more are shortening their lives through
harboring the very fear that this man had,
which is the fear Of death
Had he put his mind upon living instead
of dying the chances are that those electricians
who installed the lights above his casket would
have been doing much more useful work.
More people are really dead while still
walking about the streets than are buried alive
The big fear should be that you die spirit
ually and mentally before your heart ceases to
beat That is tragedy.

six years of serious and uninter-

her teacher in her graduation recital
at the Athenaeum, having the as
sistance of an ensemble of six harps,
all students Of Mrs. Koehne.
Immediately upon this success she
left for New York to continue her
studies, where during the first fort
night of her stay she played for
managers who recognized her ability
and the result was engagements for
church and concert work. Thus she
advanced phenomenally in the mu-
steal world.
After several seasons she went
abroad and was admitted as an adj
vanced pupil OF Mademoiselle Hen
riette Renie, acknowledged as the
greatest harp teacher of today. She
has appeared the last three or four
seasons during the summer in Paris
at the Sale Gaveau. either in her
own concerts or in conjunction with
world famous artists. She is known
also the audiences in England and

Miss billing will be heard in her

can amply afford to pay this added tax or fur
nish a chauffeur for an automobile whether a
school is two blocks or four miles away from
their homes.
It does make real difference to the fam
lily which must count each penny if the father
who tolls and the mother who sacrifices give
their children the advantages of the whole
public school system.
The school board should and must con-
slider these families and these conditions.
The graceful, decent and wise thing for the
school board would be to heed the advice so
generously and emphatically given them by
the citizens directly affected and put that
school where the people wish it built.
Certainly they can not be in doubt as to
the public will There should be no hesitation
in following it.

BY John T. Hawkins

A truly exquisite performance
marked the presentation last night
of clergyman" at the Playhouse of
the Little Theatre Society of Indi-
ana. Every action and word Of the
players was eloquent testimony to
the work and energy that had been
put into the production. 1t was in
fact q fitting tribute to the fine new
home that is now the playhouse OF
this sincere and hard-working local
group.
"Everynan," for those who are
unfamiliar with the play, is a deep
ly religious account of the thing
that must come to everyone, to
"Everyman." 1t deals graphically
with the summons of death. Strength
is laid on the fact that once the
mortal body is quiet everything Is
gone. Strength, worldly goods,
beauty and knowledge are no more
Of use to the man who has heard
the last call Of the Maker. None but
his good deeds may accompany him
into that mystic realm beyond and
s., rye him in the life to come. 1t is
a moral play but is so vital and COM
polling in it's intensity that the fact
that we are being given lesson Is
lost sight of, the lesson so grips us
with it's truth and everlasting pow
er.
1t is apparent that all the mem
bers are proud of their new play
house. and they have a perfect right
to be for it is ideal in construction
and arrangement The seating
capacity is neither too large to lose
the intimate touch that is so much
to be desired nor so small as to be
crowded. There is that quiet dignt-
fled wair of artistry pervading the
whole structure that gives the be-
holder the impression that only the
best things are worthy Of presenta-
ton in this almost perfectly ap-:
pointed Little Theatre Playhouse.
Another angle on the possibilities
of the playhouse is the fact that 1t
is being planned to have here con-
certs and musicales that have for
merly been. held in much inferior
places, as regarding appointments

veloped among some students at
Indiana University. One group
would completely abolish such
training. Another group wants the
military course made optional with
the individual students.
Probably the professional paci-

now flooding the country with
propaganda against military train

warlike, will make much of the In

II they consider the protest as
evidence that students at l. u.

pacifism they are undoubtedly off
on the wrong foot. More likely
the directors have no conscien-
tious scruples against preparation
for war but oppose compulsory
military training because 1t is com
pulsory-just like students oppose
compulsory chapel attendance,
etc.
