] For the last eight months Alaska has been receiving splendid advertis- ing in Venice and the Santa Monica district, California, through the Ma sonic Review, monthly publication, published in the interest of Freemas- onry. During that period a series of leading articles on the Territory have been appearing in which is described accurately the observations of F. G. Mccoy, who will be recalled by many in Seward as brief visitor last sum- mer. Each stage of his Journey is described minutely. A wealth of in- formation has been presented to the readers of the interesting publication much of which, it is believed, Is not commonly known to residents of Alas ka.

< WINDS 0F CHANCE" 1T LIBERTY, EXCELLENT {

The first showing of the Rex Beach super-feature "Winds of Chance" prov ed it to be as good as it's reputation. Many parts in the play, the oldtimers know to not be true when it comes to being exactly "As She Were" but putting that aside with amusement, and looking at the play as a story, it is realized to be very fine one, beau tifully staged and acted Tn looking for the Dyea and Chilkoot trail scenes it was noted with surprise that the scene of the single line climbing up the snow pass, was taken bodily from the "Cheechakos". D. C. Brownell personally laid this trail out on snow shoes at Mile 50, Bartlet glacier, and was turning a camera on this very scene at the time shown. The trail is not at all like the original Chilcoot, but it was the best that could be done at the time, and the director of the "Winds of Chance" thought it good enough to borrow or buy to use in this play.
 In all probability it was impossible to produce this scene themselves, without travelling a long distance and at a great expense, and so used the "Cheechakos" film for that one short scene. Rex Beaches plays are always worth seeing and this is no exception.

BATTLES

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Two of
the three invading French boxers
stood today as discredited titular
hopes as a result Of last nights
charity show at Ebbets Field.
Francois Charles, European light
heavyweight champion, went down
before a fusillnde of blows from
Paul Berlenbach in slightly more
than one minute of fighting, while
Fred Bretonnel was outpointed by
Johnny Dundee in ten rounds. in
spite of the fact that the latter
was forced to fight the last eight
rounds with one hand.
The third invader. Andre Routis.
French featherweight champion,
partly redeemed the poor showing
of his countrymen by taking a ter.
round decision from Eddie Ander-
son, Wyoming cowboy. Routis
proved himself to be a strong, az
gressive fighter and took the play
away from Anderson by his execu-
ton in close.
1t was believed today that the in
jury would force Dundee to forego
a shot at Tod Morgan's title on
September Z.
The Berlepbach. Charles bout was
a farce, the Frenchman being beaten
into submission in a few punches.

PLANT NOTES.

The rock garden at the Walter Reed
Hospital is an exceptional example Of
this type Of gardening. Many people
are unacquainted with this beautiful
spot, one of the finest in the world. 1t
was created a few years ago under
the sponsorship of Gen. James d.
Glennon, commanding officer of the
post at that time, and shows the ar
tistic skill of master hand, that of
Prof. David Lumsden.
1t is situated in a rocky dell hidden
from view by the bandstand. Skirting
the effective shrubbery planting at
this point, g. short walk takes one
through the formal rose garden and
the perennial flower garden to the mar
row opening of the rock garden.
Rhododendrons are massed on either
side, giving the garden sense of Sc
cluston.
Like all good rock gardens, the
rocks have been set so as to give a
natural appearance. Various types or
soils have been filled in the many
cavities between the exposed rocks
and prepared so as to suit the prefer
ences of the various kinds of plant
growth. The place abounds in rare
plant growth, low alpine sorts,
dwarfed trees of many kinds and
many other groups of plants suited to
such an environment. In the crevices
between the rocks are vines and
ferns, and here and there a clump OF
perennials where the soil is deeper and
richer.
This garden has rare plants which
bloom during the different seasons. 1t
IS now time to expect the beautiful
colorations of the creeping phloxes.
The Weeping Rose cherry soon will

10 classes of flowers, 4 classes of
fruits and classes of vegetables.
The Fall exhibit was equally note
worthy. People in the vicinity DOM

these events this year. The commit'

Of the Takoma Park Horticultural
