LOTTERY TICKETS NENANA |CE POOL
 CHECKED NENANA
MAY 18TH, 1:13 p. M. IS COVERED BY 148 CHANGES, SAYS RE-
 PORT

The tedious task of checking the 37,211 tickets entered this year in the Nenana ice pool sweepstakes has been completed by the Nenana con- mittee reports the News Miner A complete list has been made giving names of purchasers Of tickets and the time of guesses. A copy of the list is open for inspection at the Horseshoe Cigar store. Writing to Harry Phillips from Nenana, Alfred Ghezzi, chairman of the committee said the checking was "the biggest little job I've tackled for a long time"
 study of the list shows that in- terest in the lottery has extended to every town in Alaska. Ketchikan and Juneau. as well as points farth- CT north. are weu represented.
 Seventv-two tickets were rejected because they had no names; 36 did not have "a. m" or "p. m." marked; g tickets were rejected because the month was left out. Four persons forgot to mark the hour and six left the date out.
 Eighteen were dated too early, be- fore the lottery closed on April 16 Thirty-nine tickets were improperly marked and one was illegible Two persons guessed the ice would go out on April 31. One ticket was a total blank. A refund will be made in those cases where the signature is on the card The money which can not be returned will be left in the pool.
 The most optimistic gambler be- lieved the ice would go out on March 30 and the most pessimistic chose May 26 The majority of tickets are between May and May IA The 18th was a favorite day and is fairly Dlastered with chances. Thir- teen was a favorite number through out. May 13, 1:13 p. m. is covered by 148 chances If the ice goes out then each of the 14S persons would get $251.42 if no deduction were made from the gross amount of the lottery. May 13 at 3:13 D. m. is covered by 9S chances

A FEW weeks ago newspapers

A FEW weeks ago newspapers
"A carried an account of a rebel
lion among the girls in the senior
class at a certain school against
what was called ''the honor sys-
tenn" in their college.
Investigation showed the facts
in the case to be these: All senior
girls constitute what Is known as
the Student Council, which makes
them a sort of committee of mont
tors to watch over the lower
classes. Seniors are allowed Ger.
tain privileges-they may have
dates" any evening during the
week; they may ride in automo.
biles with young men and they
may do certain other pleasant
things which any young lady is
allowed to do when living at home.
Seniors may have these privileges
but the other girls may not. In
return for these privileges the
seniors must promise to report
any infractions Of the rules on the
part of other girls.
One of the seniors-and then
seven others-declared that they
were not willing to spy on their
classmates. Then the school au.
thority said the eight seniors must
therefore take the rank Of juniors
and forego all senior privileges.
The eight girls said, "All right.
We will take our demotion; but
we won't report on other girls"
In answer to that procedure,
The Washington times., 1927-06-06
When the ':H0nOrSystem is Failure

arose in their strength and said,
I'VE will not report on fellow
students and we will not sign a
pledge to that effect" And there
the case rests-with the school
authorities telling the students
that they will either sign that
pledge or take the conse-
quences''-the consequences being
dismissal for refusal to comply
with the honor system"
Now just what sort of prying,
spying, pussy-footing sneaks are
these school authorities trying to
make of our boys and girls? Lots
of things have been said about
the younger generation, but no.
body has ever accused them of
being that sort Of cheap sport.
Why In the name of sense
should boys and girls be required
to spy on their fellow students
and to report misdemeanors? If
the men and women in charge
of the students can't enforce
their rules why should they dele
gate the task to the boys and
girls7 That is no way to incul-
cate honor and truth In the
minds OF youth.
Honor systems indeed!
Imagine generous, outstanding
American youths running to their
teachers, tattling about their
class mates! II college life ne
cessitates that kind Of method,
then 1t Is time to get a different
system of education.

ICE CREAM for sick youngsters

DIR. Samuel Adams Cohen, promi.
nent children's specialist of Bos-
ton and New York. Because ice
cream is concentrated and easily
digested." says DR.. Cohen. 1T
serves admirably as a beneficial
food for sick children. Particu-
lar mention should be made of
the popular use of lee cream in
tonsilities or in acute inflamma-
ton of the throat.
The cooling, smooth ice cream
slips right down the throat with
a minimum Of effort. After the
removal of tonsils ice cream is
the one food which is generally
prescribed" DIR. Cohen praises
ice cream further as an excellent
food to be given during such
childish but painful diseases as
whooring cough and measles.
DR.. Cohen's prestige as lecturer
at the Forsythe infirmary in
Boston on nutrition and child
welfare and also as pediatrician

children's food Of real informative
