cookery and home economics than
many Of her circumspect elders,
leading educators declare.
IL is the belief of Mrs. Dougan
that "this business Of being q wom-
an should in truth be treated as a
business. Ii is Mrs. Dougan's mis-
sion in life to teach women the fun
damentals Of homemaking and point
out to them the new and more scien-
tific ways of preparing foods into
tempting dishes.
"The biggest single factor in
health and happiness is food" says
Mrs. Dougan. beginning in the
seventh grade and continuing
through high school and college,
girls are taught the scientific plan
hing of meals, perfectly balanced and
attractive to the eye. This is done
with the thought that such training
is essential to those girls who ex-
pect to make a success Of their home
management"
The five-day school OF cookery
will give 10 the women Of Browns
Vile and the Valley an opportunity
Of receiving first hand information
from a recognized expert along these
lines. Economy will be stressed in
these lectures by Mrs. Doucan. for
she feels that the woman who can ex
eel in the art Of cookery and at the
same time save something from the
family budget is, after all, the true
artist.
The lectures will be free and all
women are invited to hear this series
Of Illuminating talks. The hours
will be $3.50 to 4:30 y. m.

THE BROWN BEAR AND HIS
 INTERVENTION.

Five hundred people out in the Westward country have signed a petition asking that the restrictions against killing brown bears be re- moved and it is said that 1000 more will sign up An Associated Press story from Seward says the brown bears raising havoc with livestock, having already killed 500 sheep and 100 head of cattle.
 The petitioners might have added that there is scarcely year when more persons are not killed by brown bear-or horribly mutilated by them-some place in Alaska. Right here at Juneau Prohibition enforcement agent was re gently chewed up by bear while he was in the woods hunting for still. Within the last few days a brought a brown bear skin into Goldstein's Emporium and related that he had had some very seary experiences with them and only recently had to spend night in tree because of them. These are just small ohenses compared with the great number bears have killed in one part or another of Alaska.
 It is true that the brown bear is very attractive big game to hunt But the price being paid for that sort of sport is too high. The brown bear really ought to be exterminated in the interest of safety and in the interest of Territorial development.

The RaskOb Resignation.
(Boston News Bureau. )

The common sense as we'll as the propretes of the situation dictated the resignation of Mir Raskob General Motors committee chairman His selection campaign manager was an ad- mrabe stroke of mastery politics. But the single and simple fact that it was matter of "politcs'-in however high sense of that over abused noun-made the divorce of roles nevit- able. They could net properly remain dual
 It may be matter for passing regret that the severance not simultaneous with the political appointment, although the interval brief enough But it has been just long enough to crystalline and make clear the fundamcnta distinction. Chairman Raskob could not remain Chairman Raskob when those two titles not at all synonyms and threatened confusion of identity and performance. An old truth gets now personal expression-and prominent one.
 That truth is the necessary cleavage between politics and business. They indeed oil and water, and will not fuse. It is true that many questions now perplexing governments are basically economic; but their best solution re- mains in keeping partisan politics out of them. The need is still for more business in govern ment and less government in business which includes also the need for confning government to it's proper sphere. The other way lies so- ciaism.
 It would be humanly natural enough for any General Motors proprietors to feel resenful at the thought that somehow their property interests or prestige might be exploited, however distant any real such danger But stewards of bus- ness must emulate Caesars wife in avoidance of suspicion.
 There is also the very practical angle that it would be unfair to Chairman Raskob of the one role to burden him with duties of Chairman Raskob in the other role that would hamper his deficiency overburden him personally in either capacity. His own analytical, organizing mind could not escape that appraisal.
 Hence the all-round wisdom of keeping the corporation, in Pres. Soan's phrase and ac- eording to MT. Raskobs own expressed ideal quite clear of politics" MT. Raskob may ele- yate politics to new plane-a very mertorious achievement. Having finished that task he may well return later to his first chosen field But the twain do not and cannot overlap. The
 truth persists that there is no true serving of two masters.

Come On, Philadelphia!
(New York World. )


 One month ago the Tanks led the American League with percentage of 765, while the Ath- letics were second with percentage of .565. Yesterday the Tanks still led, but with per centage of only .693, and the Athletics were still in second place, but with a percentage of $40 In other words, this has become a real race, with that Philadelphia team gradually forg- ing to the front And hope when October rolls around that the Tanks have finally been licked and that the Athletics win the pennant. We have nothing against the Tanks, you under stand We admire them hugely and have pub lished lengthy dissertations to prove that they are the greatest team in the history of baseball But we are tired of seeing them win. We want somebody else to have chance.
 Furthermore, have suspicion that the Athletics may pull this thing off Would an all-
 seeing, all-comprehending Providence allow Ty Cobb to hang up his bat beside Gene Tunneys glove without allowing him to take part in one more Worlds Series? It would not. Such a thing would be unthinkabe. Wherefore we sol emnly go on record with the prediction that the Athletics win Of course, may be wrong
 and you may have the supreme satisfaction of calling that to our attention later. But on the other hand we may be right, and may have the supreme satisfaction of saying We told you so."

CROOKS ARE NOT NAMED FOR
 PRESIDENCY.

History makes it plain that neither of the great American political parties nomnates crooks for the Presidency And history shows that no great American State elects crook for Governor and keeps him in office term after term growing more and more popular all the time.
 The fact is that Gov. Smith and Mir. Hoover were nominated because each of them commanded the support of the rank and file of his party, and they commanded that support because each was recognized the greatest outstanding public man in his party Mir Hoover and Gov. Smith were not nominated at Kansas City and Houston. They nominated in the State conventions and primaries that selected delegates to the National conventions

 All husbands want to be babied and most all wives consider babying a husband the silliest way to waste time.
 A married mans idea of the end of a perfect day is the one that ends without him being any deeper in debt.
 Some brides are patient and some start the training even be- fore the honeymoon is over.
 The way people spend it you wouldn't think they did not want any money around.
 There is a heap of difference between what a girl today does and what her grandmother consid- cred clothes-and there is as much difference between what a modern wife considers meal and what her mother did.
 Some people are like hot mince pie-you could love them if they didn't always disagree with you.
 A woman shows lot of faith in her husband when she puts him so far away from her when there is company for dinner she can't kick him in the shins.
 Next to learning to keep warm in them in winter, the hardest job these modern styles brought to a lot of girls was learning how to feel modest while knowing they looked anything but.
 One of the strangest mysteries of the day is that no one has put a little painters torch on the market that girls can keep on their dressing tables and use in place of wash cloths.

 That is the generally accepted standard of the ethics of profane Big Business' But some of the churches, whose kingdom is supposed not to be of the world. have apparently much different standard for the institutions that were founded to preach the doctrines and live the examples of the Christ. Bishop Cannon, for ex- ample, has been made chairman of political committee that has assumed the task of carrying Southern States against Gov. Smith. Bishop Cannon has not resigned his position in the church. There is no sign that he intends to do so. Instead. he is endeavorng to drag his church into politics with him.

Since July 1927, 7S counties have joined the roll of those that are enjoying ade- quate public health protection through the labors of over 300 ful-time health workers.
