 IN INTEREST 0F R. R.

Accompanied by Mrs. Smith and B. H. Barndollar, chief accountant, of The Alaska Railroad, General Mana ger Noel w. Smith sailed for Wash ington aboard the S. S. Alaska Satur- day night, where he is iourneying to submit his annual report of operations of the railroad, and present his re- quests for appropriations for the fiscal year 1926-27. MT. Smiths complete financial report was published in Fri days Gateway.
 Encouragement of industries, such as mining, agriculture and woodwork ing, epotomizes MT. Smiths announc- ed plans for next and future years. This work will be furthered by the agency of a commercial representa- tive armed with data calculated to i'm press the investor abroad with oppor- tunities in this portion of Alaska. In furtherance of encouraging woodwork ing manufacturing MT. Smith stated that he had given demonstrations in The Alaska Railroad shops which show that salmon cases may be manu- factured economically in Alaska along with the production of other lumber such as birch and cottonwood. With respect to agriculture, small canning plant was introduced by the railroad to prove that Alaskan vegetables could be thus conserved at a profit and thus keep large sums of money at home.
 No change in policy from that of pairing down operating expenses was announced, but it is understood that the railroad management is preparing to enlarge the activities of the indus trial department as indicated to the fullest extent permissible under funds for that purpose.
 Accompanying MT. Smith aboard his private car from Anchorage were Mrs. H. E. Brown, wife of the Anchorage dispatcher; Mrs Lack, mother of Nor man Lack, General Agent Tod Cun- ningham and First Assistant to Mir. Smith, H. Horn, who will be in charge of the railroad during MT.

BY FAY KING

Will women who have gone into
the business world apply the prac
teal, sound, rational knowledge OF
business that she. acquires to her
personal life and thereby make a
safer marriage?
Why not?
In business life one learns how
safe" and attractive insecure bust
ness methods can be made to appear.
She learns how much better it is to
make sound, safe investment that
brings sure and safe returns than to
risk all in a gamble that is apt to
end in nothing but losS
In earning and saving and invest
ing her money, she becomes acquaint;
ed with business methods that can
apply to marriage For instance, she
knows in business that:
RISK means a chance Of loss!
SPECULATION means hazard
Gus business transaction Tor the
chance of unusually large profits.
INVESTMENT means 10 lay out
money in a safe way with view Vi
steady income
How sordid to apply business
methods to love and marriage, you
say! But it is being done every
day and it would be better if young
women took as much time and
thought in investing their hearts as
they do their money.
OF course in marriage the princi
pal is not money but happiness.
The girl who marries a man who
has been divorced several times mus
consider him a risk! The chances
are that she will lose.
IL he could not make other wives
happy, she can hardly hope he Will
make her happy. But if she prefer
to take the risk and the loss-that's
her busincss-or | should say mar
riaGe!
The girl who thinks it wise to
marry some rich old fellow for whom
she cannot possibly feel a romantic
attachment must look upon him as n
speculation! 1t is quite natural she
figures a few years Of married Ire
humoring him will bring her all his
wealth when he dics-"an unusually
large profit" But, as in all specu.
lation, sometimes the deal is not turn
ed as soon as the speculator plans.
l have known apparently good
matrimonial speculations" to lingcr
on for a great many profitlcss years
The safest investment for a girl
is clean-living, ambitious youns
man near her own age, with good
steady prospects! She will find tina:
profit Of happiness-which is TO
ma rriHSs what a profit Of money is
to usAess-will be hers! 1t will
increase rs the years roll by, and
added to the first principal Of their
happiness-thc compound interest NJ
content and understanding, will be
the trust fund of their declining
years.

MEDITATIONS OF A WIFE
How to Make a Garden Grow.
By HELEN ROWLAND

A garden is like a man. Self-de-
termination is its motto!
Never let a garden know that you
want it TO grow, or that it matters
in the least to you whether it blooms
or not. Utter indifference, and non
chalancc are the only things which
will inspire a garden to take the least
interest in life.
1t never docs to let a garden sus-
pect that you take it seriously. A gar
den doesn't like TO feel that it is be-
ing bullied or coerced into doing any
thing against its will. 1t has true
masculine pride-and Obstinacy
If garden felt that you were deli.
berateIy PLANTING a seed in its
mind. it would harden itself immc-
diately. Drop in the seeds just like
hints, as carelcssly as though you
we're playing solitaire. and your
thoughts were miles away. Act per
fectly casual. -
When a garden relents and begins
TO show little sprouts of green, pre-
tend not to notice them. 1t hates to
think that you have observed its soft
heartedness. and to be called good
garden" takes away all its self-re-
spect.

Law in its intimate significance. by
exactly the same method they tackled
the idea of the League of Nations
and the Monroe Doctrine. They lid
not need TO leave the problems Of their
own town to do so. All the nations
were represented in that town-and
all the national angles.
That's the way we teach Civics TO
children under the High School age.
Why could We not teach marriage,
as a domestic extension of that Same
civics course?
On what is marriage based? On
laws, contracts, covenants, theories.
traditions? Noon human love and
human weakness, human strength and
human cussedness.
Children cannot understand corr.
munity property rulings, nor extradi-
ton proceedings for DESERVING hus.
bands nor the divers marital laws Of
our various states. But they CAN
understand cross mamas and papas-
happy or unhappy homes. They CAN
understand nagging and peevishness
spying and scolding - loyalty and
cheating.
And it is just as possible to build
up an ethical attitude toward the mar
riage obligation as. toward the citi'
zenship obligation. 1t is just as pos
sible to teach children to think ra'
tionalIy and fairly about marriage, as
about history or math or geography
And it should be done.
AS for the. physical side of mar
rage, our need. of adequate instruc-
tions along that line and our neglect
TO supply that need is so obvious that
it shrieks. The day a child begins
to ask where do babies come FROM
he is old enough to begin to Learn
the truth. And the home or the school
which doesn't. supply the truth is a
disgrace to civilization.
