SCHOOL
 QUESTION

Peter Sing of Sitka, through his attorney, William L. Paul has ask ed the District Court for an order compelling the Sitka Public School Board to admit to Sings child the lights and privileges enjoyed by other pupils of the school.
 After reading the petition, the Court issued an alternative writ of mandamus giving the Sitka Board until the 9th of January to show cause why it should not be made permanent.
 Last October Sing applied to Mrs. Peterson, member of the Sitka School Board for permission to put his boy in school. She asked him if the boy ''had any Indian blood in him." Upon being informed that he had, she said she would take 1t up with the Board. She later noti- fled Sing that his application had been denied.
 For many years the question of Indian children to attend the pub lie schools has been a political foot ball. Whenever there was any dan ger of it's being settled the matter would be settled out of court and the child admitted. Now the mat ter is up for final answer. May the hest man win.
 Contrary to general belief it is lot the desire of the Indian chill dren or their parents to force their way wholesale into the public schools but they do insist upon the rights of the child when it has been pl epared for the more advanced g aces or wh ere environment has fitted tho child for immediate en- trance to those schools.
 In the case of Sing now before the court, it is we'll to remember that Sing himself saw service dur iLg the late Word War and is cer- teinIy entitled to better considera- tiOn than has been given him.

SANITARY
 SPARK PLUG

From Sweden comes the an nouncment that the burdens of the gas man has been eliminated by the invention of a self-cleansing spark plug, which is claimed to do away with faulty operation caused by soot collection.
 The inventor claims to have pre- vented the collection of soot on the Iletal electrodes of the plug by in troducing into the plug a chamber which is connected with the com hustion chamber of the cylinders through an opening immediately in II ont of the spark gap. When the motor is in operation every cylinder strike sends gas into the chambers which is immediately sucked out again taking with it all soot par tlcles.
 Under many tests, the new "Vik- ingite" spark plug is said to have operated fawlessly and to have kept itself perfectly clean regard less amount of oil used.
 The invention will be exploited by a Hugo Tillquist of Stockholm, who has given over the manufactur- ing rights to A. B. Lidkopings Vik- ingsagar, a subsidiary of the Sand yikens Steel Works. This factory has previously had a large produc- tion of spark plugs, but will drop the manufacture of the old types to produce "Viking-it" plugs.
 A sales organization for the marketing of the new plug is now being formed, it is reported. The price of the article is said to be greater than that of an ordinary plug.

ALASKAN ENl|STS
 N.E. RELIEF
To MY ALASKA NEIGHBoRs:

To MY ALASKA NEIGHBORS: <.
 For many years the words Near East Relief have meant little to me aud probably they have meant no more to you This winter I have learned something of what the words really mean and I want to share my discovery with you.
 More than 100000 orphans sav- eG from starvation and trained for future usefulness-that's part of it. And 42,0OO saved from blind ness-that's some more.
 Nine thousand orphans, rushed out of earthquake wrecked build iEgs by relief workers at the risk of their own lives so that not child's life was lost. Children sleep ing out in a blizzard, yet giving LuSlT Ulduh0IS tO OLu6IS lGSS TUT tuaate-thats still more. Thirty thousand children ask our care only until they are 16 when they go out able to support themselves.
 I've learned all this and more this winter in Seattle from people who have seen it with their own eyes. There's no place in the world where money is needed more and where it goes farther" says Fred Everett, a Seattle business man, just back from the Near East. You can learn more from the enclosed leaflet.
 My wife and I have decided that we must do more than we have for Near East Relief. I believe you will to. I am enclosing a blank check for your generous Christmas gift.

The town of Anchorage has got ten itself a basketball court. Thru the efforts of Oscar Gill, one of the directors of the Fair Assiciation, a regulation basketball court has been laid out. The new court is regulation size and there will be ample room to accommodate a fair size crowd.
 Practically every town in Alaska having an accredited high school DOW has ample gym facilities for the boys of the school. EXCEPT FE1 ERSBURG. Unfortunately lack of place to practice is han dicap that does not bespeak for a winning team.

 We do not believe in the over emphasis of athletics in school life but as it has been demonstrated that athletes in schools average in their studies higher than non- athletes, it would seem that Pe- tersburg is neglecting a phase of schoo life that has it's importance.

FLIRTING WITH "RADICLEs"

Another step has been taken in an attempt of the regular Republi- cans to insure Senate control. Sen- ator Gerald P. Nye, insurgent Re- publican, North Dakota, conferred with President Coolidge recently for fifteen minutes on a patronage dispute.
 The Regulars want to bring insur- gent Republicans and Senator Ship slead, Farmer-Labor, Minnesota, in to the administration fold. The move was threatened with disrup- tion when President Coolidge nom- mated Col. c. r. Mudgett to be U. s. Marshall for North Dakota, on recommendation of Hannah, whom Nye defeated for the office of sen ator.
 It would appear from the above clipping from the Seattle Star that if the Republican ptrty would in- sure control of the Senate they must give ear to insurgent or pro- gressive demand that certain nom nations be not made, in Alaska as we'll as in the Dakotas. Unless ap- puintments of Alaska judiciary are made other than present incum- bents in office we may expect some sessions that will not be conducive to harmony, In fact 1t has been stated that there is even talk of Impeachment proceedings being started. Such being the case we do rot see how Senate leaders can hope fuc united forces.
