(P) "A prison sentence for former members of Congress engaging in lobbying within two years from the date of their retirement from the senate or house, is asked in a bill drafted for introduction by Representative Howard. democrat of Nebraska.

SUTHERLAND AND CURRY
 IN HEATED DEBATE

Washington, D. C., March 6, (F) After a lengthy debate during which Delegate Dan Sutherland from Alaska and Chairman Curry of the Territories Committee, had a heated verbal exchange. the House defeated the Curry Bill au- thorizing additional payments to Territorial officers which had all ready been appropriated by the Alaska Legislature. The vote was one hundred and thirty to twelve. The measure would virtually mean a repeat of the Territories organic act, Sutherland said. and would mean the entrance of Bureaucracy into Alaska" Sutherland added "I do not see why the Delegate has to compromise with every measure dealing with his territory, that is unfair and unjust. The above statement brought Curry to his feet with jump and said to Sutherland, you have always got fair treatment

HERE IS A GOOD ONE

The publisher of the Nugget re- ceived the following clipping in q letter from the Associated Press once in New York. The scene is laid on a street car and is very interesting because of the fact that the joke is on somebody else be- sides the newspaper subscriber. Of course it is joke and it not only happens in big cities but small towns az well. If you cannot take a joke, do not attempt to read 1t!
 Here it is: New Workers may be Ion the fence" in respect to some things, but they are staunch supporters of the newspapers they read.
 A passenger on a Manhattan surface car learned this when he glanced at the newspaper a neigh boring passenger was reading and unburdened himself of an uncom- plimentary remark about the sheet" It was met with a heat ed rejoinder that for time ap- peared to threaten battle of more than words. Finally the reader called the critics attention to the fac: that "it is my paper" and the tense moment passed.

Fun of Bear Hunting

A bulletin of the American Game
association contains the following
Bears are now priced as game in
Maine as highly as deer and moose.
The bear is equipped with wonderful
ly keen scent, and can detect hunter
for at least half a mile when wind
conditions are right. His hearing is
equally good, and it tests the skill of
the best hunters to approach him
within shooting distance. Its eye
sight is not keen.
'The Maine commissioner of game
advises hunters to use a heavy rifle
in bear hunting, nothing less than the
5000. The % caliber fails to deliver
a blow with enough shock to put a
bear down for keeps. He says that
only an average of one out of four
bear hit by Maine hunters is secured,
and many of the wounded animals un-
doubtedly die later and are wasted.
1t Is generally waste of ammuni-
ton to hit a bear anywhere except
through the shoulder or head. A body
shot will not stop them"

When Standard Oil
Was in Its Infancy

John d. Rockefeller, when he was
expanding Standard Oil into the great
est business phenomenon of its era,
often gained control of rival COM
panies by bluffing with blank check
because Standard Oil didn't have
the purchase money. That is the story
told me by the oil king himself, writes
B. C. Forbes in McClure's.
When l asked him where he got all
the capital to expand Standard Oil, the
veteran oil magnate's eyes twinkled.
'That sometimes had its funny
SIDE" was Rockefeller's reply. 1T
seems amusing now, looking back, al
though it was a matter of grave con-
Germ then.
"After we had arranged to purchase
a property / would meet the owner
and with lordly air would whip out
our checkbook and remark, as II it
were a matter of entire indifference
to me: Shall I write a check or would
you prefer payment in Standard Oil
shares?"
Mr.. Rockefeller added that there
were occasions when If the reply had
been Gall cash." he would have had to
scurry to raise the necessary money.
However, his unconcerned attitude in

"Knickers" Traced to
Drawings of Iruing

The word knickerbockers has been
traced to the Dutch in the Seventeenth
century, but the first record of it's use
in English, relating to the loose-ftting
knee-breeches, dates from 1859. The
name is said to have been given to
them on account of their likeness to
the knee-breeches designed by George
Cruickshank to illustrate Washington
Irving's History of New York" This
is not, however, to suggest that as gar
ments, knee-breeches were not worn
until so late period, for the breeches
worn toward the end of the reign of
Charles III gradually got tighter, until
William III introduced plain tight
knee-breeches that are still worn i'm
England as part of the court dress
The breeches of the reign of Charles !
were loose to the knee, where they
ended in a fiounce or bow of ribbon,
and they continued 50 during the Com
mOnwealth, but these were called knee
breeches and not knickerbockers.-
