WORLD PROGRESS IN 1925.

From the standpoint of humanity in general, 1925 perhaps witnessed great CT progress than has ever been known before within single year.
 Overshadowing all other events of course, was the epochal peace pact of Locarno, with it's several separate treaties, all proposed and ratified within the space of few weeks. Bri- tain, France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Belgium and Czecho-Slovakia, each agreed to respect the territorial rights of the others and submit all differ ences to arbitration. One year ago such an accomplishment in so short period would have been considered an impossibility
 While the ultimate effects of the Locarno pact can not be foretold, it is evident that Europe has made tre- mendous stride toward mutual under standing and peace among the leading powers.
 Continued progress by individual nations has been general, although economic conditions are yet difficult. The security pact will enable the na- tions concerned to devote more atten- tion to internal airs, since danger of international complications are largely removed.
 Even in those parts of the world where armed conflict still exists to a greater or less extent such as China, Syria and Morocco, prospects for peace have materially frightened dur ing the past month. While much suf.

5a s U - t j s4 ingly interminable telephone conver- sations without realizing how long they talked, and so on.
 This apparent lack of regard for time by the fair sex has been the source of endless comment often profane. But now it has all been ex- plained, thanks to psychology.
 Exhaustive tests conducted at the Johns Hopkins University show that women just naturally can't help it. They do not realize the meaning of "tempus fugit."
 These tests developed the fact that women on an average estimate the time it takes them to perform a given task at about one-half the time re- quired. Dr. Isobel Steward, who con ducted the tests, which were made with 1,084 students, both men and women, said:
 Men estimate more accurately The inaccuracies of women imply that time really seems shorter to women than to men,"
 Which recalls the joke that many husbands have sprung on friend wife :: Married men do not live longer: it just seems longer"

MAKING THE TRIP BY A STOVE

For the next few months the trip to be made from Nenana to Point Bar roow by the snow tractors will be dis cussed pro and con by old sour doughs snugly ensconsed behind the poolroom stove. Of course, most of the old timers will claim that the only way the trip could be made at this season of the year would be by dog team and they express doubts as to the ability of the canine to make the southern shores of the Arctic.
 Without entering into the merits of the case if the trip is successfully negotiated by the sturdy little ma chimes it will mark triumps for the inventor, and be the cause of the sale of hundreds of the contrivances, which have the running gears of a Fordson with rolling barrel screw on each side
 The average Alaskan looks forward to the day when he can sit snugly in
 
 the cab of a motor driven vehicle and glide smoothly over the snow, pulling ms food and supplies behind him over hill and dale. It would save a lot of hard camps and also put the fish wheels on the Yukon out of business furnishing dog feed.
 Whatever the outcome of the ven ture, it is financed by man with an lnexhaustible poke, and commanded by men who have had great experi- ence ln negotiating the snowy wastes or the Arctic. The trip really should De more of a pleasure jaunt than a hardship, with the conveniences SUD- piled.

SUCCESS.

It has been said that nothing sue. ceeds like success, which may be true in a way, but if man is failure, has he also not succeeded in being what he is? Success, these times, is attrib uted to the worldly goods accumulat ed by man or a corporation, mostly with ruthless disregard of the rights of others. The man who leads long and happy life, carefree and unbur dened by too much wealth, is not con. sidered a success, but he is really more of a success than the man who accumulates money for the love of pill ing it up, or for the feeling of power it gives one.
 Unless a halt is made in the mad scramble it will be impossible within another quarter of century for the average man to earn enough to keeI him from want. The advance of civ ilization has made living costs mount skyward and prices on every commod ity have gone Up. Ten years ago a pair of stockings could be bought fol twelve and half cents Today every shop girl wears two and three dollar hose, and will continue to wear them so long as limbs are shown promiscu ously.
 Unless revolution overthrows the present day civilization our childrei's children are in for tough time. They will have several thousand more laws to pay heed to, and will have scores of psychologists, experts and faddists attempting to regulate their lives. Ii they can live on the restrictions i'm posed other restrictions will follow Money will decrease in value and living go up accordingly. Therefore how can they succeed in business harassed and taxed to the last frac tion of cent.
 The nation will either turn commu nistic with combination of big in terests or the success of the present era will never be duplicated.

Ites before pulling on the gloves.
The champion opened up his box
ing against Big Bill Tate, hammering
away at the body, mostly with left
hooks. Tate, towering a b We the
champion, had no trouble in mailing
him with rights to the head. Once
he measured him with hard straight

blinking, came tearing in, working
his left to the body like pistons.
Dempsey continued his body punches
against Charley Anderson, another
negro heavyweight forcing him to re-
treat and hang on. Dempsey STEPPED
