London Clubwomen
 Are Smoking Cigars

LONDON, March 22 Women s clubs in London arc up against cigar smoking. Cigarettes were assumed to be the limit of wo- mans smoking when several clubs established a rule that their draw ing rooms might be used as smok- ing rooms. But many women are now smoking cigars, and cigarette smokers seem to have as much prejudice against cigars in the mouths of members of their own sex as many Victorian ladies have against cigarettes.

ent requirements. passed by a two-thirGs vote of the members, should remain unchanged. There had been considerable agitation over the subject as some Alas kans think a 20-year residence in the north should entitle them to become members.
 The Grand Igloo also restatad it's traditional position relative to citizens born in Alaska and their eligibility for membership in the organization. It has always held that such persons are not eligible but that they should become mem- bers of the Native Sons and Daughters of Alaska.
 Normal Training
 Plans to include normal course for teachers of secondary schools in the Alaska college Were recently made public by President Bunnell. After some discussion it was resolved to rec ommend that young men and wo- men ill the territory who are plan ming to fit themselves for the pro- fession of teaching should take the course offered them so that pupils in the schools of Alaska should have the advantage of in- struetors trained in the territory.
 Increased Pensions
 At the last convention of the Grand lgloo held in Juneau, a resolution was adopted favoring an increase in the pension of aged citizens of Alaska. As no action has yet been taken to se- cure the proper legislation. a seri- ous hardship has been worked on many of the old pioneers.
 A resolution. was passed to bring this measure before the territorial legislature when it con venes in March, 1929, and make every effort to get it passed.

PIONEERS PASS RESOLUTIONS AT ICLOO SESSION
Improvement of Livin g Conditions for Insane
 Again Taken Up

Sixteen resolutions, most oi which dealt with purely organiza tion matters, were passed by the Grand Igloo of the Pioneers oi Alaska which met in ketehika1i last week in it's sixteenth annual session. Five of them concerned matters of general public interest
 Beginning Friday morning, when the sessions were formally open ed by Grand President H. R. Shep ard, the Grand Igloo organized foi business, cleared away prelimi nary matters and began it's dis cussions of the subjects covered later in resolutions.
 Discuss Morningside
 Ways and means for improving the living conditions of Alaska < insane now being cared for al Morningaide sanitarium again were taken under consideration and resulted in some constructive sugges ions.
 Thi sanitarium is now conduct ed by the corporation on com mercial basis and strictly foI profit, it is alleged by members oi the order who have investigated the matter. As the fiye-year con tract contains no clause compel ling the officers of the institution fo conc,,Jt with ,,bx,c;o;o,,. ,,tl,., than those employed by them selves in regard to the mental condition of the patients. they may keei them confined there in definitely should they so desire, il was pointed out.
 It was decided to bring the mat ter to the attention of the secre tary of the interior and the secre tary of the treasury through the governor of Alaska and urge the appointment of a member of the U. S.. health service of Portland Oregon. as .discharging officer for the Morningside sanitarium un til the present contract expires It is hoped that better means of caring for the insane of the terri tory will then be found.
 The resolutions also urge that this discharging officer be given authority to discharge Alaskan patients from the institution when he considers them cured and that no patient be discharged without his consent.
 The plan for such an officer wal suggested by Grand vice-Presi dent Thomas Gaffney, of Nome Tn recognition of this fact the Grand Igloo passed a resolution crediting him with the plan and commenting it as the most prom ising yet proposed for remedying some conditions said to exist al the institution.
 Historical Records
 Another matter of interest con sidered was the collection and preservation of valuable historical data of the territory. As the Arc. tic Brotherhood has disbanded steps are to be taken to secure if possible. the records collected by them and have them preserved in the museum of the Alaska Col lege.
 To this end it was resolved te secure the names of the last grand officers of the Arctic Brotherhood and enlist their interest and as sistance in preserving them for posterity. The matter is also tc be brought to the attention of the president of the college.
 Membership Ruling
 Letters were read from pioneers protesting against any alteration in the qualifications for member ship in the order of the Pioneers Of Alaska, which now requires g man to have been a resident ol the territory since 1905. A reso lutIon was passed that the pres
