GREATEST OF OUTDOOR SPORTS

Now that May is well in hand, towns and communities turnout Alaska are turning their thoughts to things of spring. Seward, favored with an unusual early season, has been busy with gardens, these weeks past, but now the great sport of the year is be- coming general. All over Seward gardens and yards are being turned over for practi- cal and beautifying purposes The home IS agloW with seductive seed envelopes Orange and scarlet and green and blue they gleam upon the living root amble like unto all the jewels of Aladdin.
 Cabbages of a size to make Roman holi- day bedeck the pages. Asparagus with stalks which might lead to the lair of Jack the Giant Killer. Tomatoes fit to feed a kingdom of Gargantua.
 The evening stiffness is broken by the angry strike of pick and hoe upon it and rocky soil.
 The evening meal resounds with the heat ed debate of whether those plain but good wenches of the garden kingdom, radishes, beets, peas and cabbage, shall give way to such bedizined beauties as Brussels sprouts, chard and romaine
 What if the yield from a sowing of blis- tered hands and breaking backs be but a handful of speckled tomatoes and wither- ed radish? Without their family gardens the nations perish. Cincinnatus was called from his blow and oxen team to lead the army against the Sabines. Victorious. the Mussolini of his day, was offered rich re- wards. He only asked to return to his farm and his fields.
 "In the happy simplicity of the Homeric ages' the great heroes sought rest and peace in their garden plots or over mess of pulse or herbage
 Legend tells us of the cooking skill of such heroes as the mighty Ulysses, who kindled the fire and laid the cloth, Achilles turning the spit, Patroclus drawing thei wine
 But ancient poetry and essay are one con- tinuous chronicle of the hero, the gardener Cicero waxed eulogistic, even in the midst of his caustic lambasts, upon the succulent beet green and tender lettuce grown in his garden plot.
 The Egyptians raised altars to cabbages, adoring the huge obese heads as so many gods. And the Egyptian bowed lowest to l the cabbage titled in his own soil.
 The mighty Alexander found the onion in Egypt and sped the war so that he could getI home to grow tender onions and consume them each morning with honey dripping from the comb.
 The pages of Ovid, Livy and Horace tell again and again of the delights of garden ing, and what profit it man if he rule the whole world or write mighty saga and connot hoe his own?

DRY UNIT
CHANGE IS URGED
Andrews Fav0rS Cramton Bill
for Creation of indie
pendent Bureau.

The report on the Champion bill to
separate the work of the prohibition
unit from the internal revenue and
place it under the Secretary of the
Treasury as an independent unit was
received today by Chairman Graham
Of the House judiciary committee from
Assistant Secretary l.. G. Andrews of
the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Andrews pointed out that the
Champion bill was introduced at the
request Of the department and that
the department faVors its enactment
into law. He said it Is considered
quite essential to efficiency that the
work of the prohibition unit be sep
arated from the Bureau of Internal
Revenue and placed under the Secre-
tary in an independent bureau organ
lied under a. commissioner of prohi-
bition very much as IL the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue under its commits
sioner. This facilitates the present
Treasury Department organization,
by which the activities of the prohi-
bition unit. customs and the Coast
Guard are placed under the super
vision of one assistant secretary, who
may thus coordinate their work go
far as It concerns enforcement of the
prohibition law.
In the meantime the Treasury De.
partment, wishing to organize a sep
arate bureau for customs as well as a
separate bureau for prohibition, has
had prepared a bill for this purpose
which will be sent to Congress as a
department measure and which, II en-
acted into law, will serve the same
purpose for prohibition, but will at the
same time have accomplished a much
desired reorganization Of customs as
well, Assistant Secretary Andrews ad-
yises the judiciary committee.

Mr. Tilson in his statement in ex-
pla nation of the attitude Of the House
during the anthracite suspension. said:
II am glad, OF course. that the coal
strike has been settled. Some criticism
has been directed against the House
OF Representatives, and especially
against the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, for not having
attempted to take action OF some kind
to bring about an earlier settlement.
AT the opening of this session Of
Congress the President, In his annual
message, recommended certain legis-
lation which would have the effect Of
extending the present powers of the
executive branch of the Government
with reference to mediation in future
labor disputes in the coal mining in
dustry. Since that time the House has
been busy on the revenue bill and the
important appropriation bills. and the
interstate and foreign commerce com
mittee has been particularly busy with
numerous legislative proposals of
great importance.
THE chairman Of the Interstate and
foreign commerce committee and the
leadership of the House were and are
| OF the opinion that no good purpose
would be served by attempting to
formulate permanent legislation OF
! this character at a time when the ex
listing circumstances might arouse
false hopes in the minds of the war
ring factions and might bias the judg-
| ment of the Congress.
| Il believe that in delaying action on
| the Presidents recommendation for
permanent legislation on this subject
| the chairman of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce and
| the leadership Of this House acted
! wisely, and that the recent settlement
| was expedited by reason of the re.
| fuSal of the Congress of the United
| States to attempt interference or to
influence the Chief Executive to that
| end.
Now that the strike Is settled the
Congress may proceed to consideration
Of the Presidents proposal for extend
ing the Executives powers to meet a
| further emergency in the calm and
| dispassionate frame of mind which
| will be conducive to sound legislative
| action"
