DELEGATE OPPOSES NEW
 LITERACY TEST MEASURE

Delegate Sutherland, apeaI
 ing recently before the House Territories committee, placed
 himself, on record as opposed
 to, the White bill, providing for literacy qualifications by Alaska voters, according to Washington press dispatches.
 The hearing on the bill also disclosed that, although in- troduced by Representative White of Maine, the measure actually had its source in Alas ka, the author being Senator Anthony J. Diamond, membe, of the Alaska senate and well known Alaska attorney. Rep resentative White told the committee that he had intro duced the measure at the re- quest of Mr. Diamond and was not personally interested in it. passage. Save for a few changes, the bill is practically the same as the measure intro duced by Senator Diamond during the last session of the Territorial legislature and adopted by that body aftel the insertion of amendments providing that the literacy test provisions. should not apply to illiterates who had voted 2 previous elections.
 The reports cay Delegate Sutherland opposed the bill OF the ground that the latter en actment was on the statute books, and that the White bill would disfranchise between 100 and 200 Indians and similar number of whites. He also pointed out that the White bill leaves election judges to conduct and require 8 literacy test and claimed that in most cases the pack ing interests employed these judges. In substantiation of the latter charge, Mr. Sutherland is said to have read testimony alleging that Alaska is practic- ally "a government by and fol the packers"

Letters mailed in the Hyder postoffice destined for points in the United States should not bear Canadian postage stamps, but should carry American stamps. According to Post master Oren F. Hill, there are some local people who are evidently not aware of this rule and are given to mailing letters bearing Canadian post age stamps.
 MT. Hill states that letters bearing Canadian stamps and mailed without a return ad- dress on the envelope will be sent to the dead letter office, which will return them to the seniel. As this will entail long delay in delivery, care should be taken that letters bear the proper stamps. In no case should Canadian stamps be at- tached to letters sent to the States through the local post office.

BIG MISSOURI
 OUTLOOK GOOD

That the results of the win ters' development work on the Big Missouri are sufficiently encouraging to warrant the view that the property will develop into a mine, is the out standing feature of statement to the Herald, by Capt. Duncan MacVichie, veteran mining man and prominent figure in the Big Missouri Mining Company, following a visit of nearly a week on that noted property. Capt. MacVichie in timated, however, that all though results have been en- couraging considerable addit- ional work must be done be- fore the extent of mineralizat- ion can be established suffici- ently to enable the Company to determine it's future course.
 Capt. MacVichie said his vis- it to the Big Missouri was made in behalf of the com hence he did not feel at liberty to discuss developments, in de- tail until after he had report ed.
 However, you may say" he said, that the development work done so far has been sat isfactory and the outlook is favorable that the property will develop into a mine. But, ' he added much depends on the results of development work that will be done during the next few months"
 During the course of the inter- view Capt. MacVichie referr- ed to the Premier, which he visited during his stay, and paid high tribute to General Mananger Dale L. Pitt and his assistants for the splendid system displayed in it's devel- opment and operation; declar- ing it to be one of the most eff ficiently managed and operat- ed mines he has seen in his forty years of mining expert ence.

The purpose behind all entertain
ment to me is that of enjoyment and
the finding of new beauty. The
radio helps me to obtain both and
at the same time to heighten my ap-
probation of both the stage and the
concert stage.
For example last Saturday night,
I tuned in on the opera recital and
talk Of Walter Damrosch. Mrs.
Talbot last season brought Damrosch
and his orchestra to this city.
My experience at the Murat last
season actually increased my ap-
preciation, mental, of his concert as
well as to stimulate my interest and
increase my appreciation Of Wag-
ner's ".Rheingol1," which is the first
division of the music drama, Der
Ring des Nibelungen."

on a Times radio program to ex-
plain an orchestral concert which
she was to present under her di-

same thing. When "The Song Of
the Flame" was in Cincinnati sew
eral weeks ago, one of the leading
women sang over the radio. Many
indianapolis people told me that they
heard her and wanted to see "Song

Jew, and Patrick Murphy, one of the
Catholic faith. Both have their
prejudices and are intent on having
their only child marry one of their

Rosemary Murphy and Abraham

all the plans Of the parents. Rose
mary is the only child whose mother
passed on when Rosie was of a very
tender age. And Able, too, is an
only child who was deprived of a
mothers care at an early age. These
two youngsters meet on the field of
battle during the World War; Rosie
as a nurse and Able a buck pri-
vate. On their return to this coun-
try they see much of each other and
the strong friendship cemented "over
there" ripens into love. Knowing
that marriage would not be looked
upon with favor by their respective
parents, they decide to marry first
and try placating afterwards.
So, they journey to Jersey City
and are made one by a Methodist
minister. They call upon Abie's IA

This deception is intended to be

matter OF theory and conjecture.
Perhaps one Of the most probable
hypotheses is that which sup
poses them to have been shot out
of the sun. Just now the sun is
in very excited condition, as in
dicated by the huge whirling
spots to be seen upon Its sur
face, sometimes conspicuous to the
naked eye.
In the neighborhood Of these
spots the spectroscope often
shows glowing gaseous masses
that shoot up from the sun with
tremendous speed. Some obser-
vations have indicated that the
speed in ''eruptiye prominences"
may occasionally be sufficient to
overcome the immediate control
OF the sun, so that the elected
masses rush away across the or
bits OF the planets, or fall into
orbits Of their own. henceforth

around the sun.
Amidst the cold of space they
quickly part with their heat,

masses. The course of such a

encounter with the earth, and as
it plunged into the atmosphere
and was again raised to high
temperature by the friction, the
spectacle viewed from the earth's
surface, would be that OF a flying
and bursting fireball.
But, there are other facts about
the composition and physical
state of meteorites which seem
rather to favor another theory Of
their origin; that, namely, which
assumes that they are fragments
of an exploded planet, which have
been wandering for ages in the
solar system. and a few OF which
every year come within the gravi.
rational control of the earth, and
thus are brought down.
Anyhow, 1t is certain that the
earth Is a target for celestial
missiles. whatever their origin,
and anybody who has the luck to
see a big one will not forget it
during the rest OF his life. AS
Mr.. Adams found, 1t is an awe
inspiring sight.
