Shot Through The
Chest

Last Sunday evening, in a vacant
cabin between Kake and the ca
merry on the village driveway, Harry
bean aceidently shot himself with
a Remington $500 rife. 1t ap-
pears that shell became foul in
the magazine so that it would
neither enter the rife barrel, nor
fall into the magazine of gun. Bean
worked with firearm slide for some
time, but the shell refused to pro-
perly place itself. Bean than walk
ed of the beach to the cabin and
tried again to clear the arm. Fin

to him with butt resting ON the
ground and tried again to work the
slide. Giving it an extra hard push
this mechanism worked, the shell
entered the barrel and discharged
as 1t entered the chamber. The
.mugzle Of the rife was against his
chest: the bullet entered about an
inch below the left nipple, ranged
straight through and lodged just
below the left shoulder blade. 1t
missed the heart but plowed thru
the lower portion on the left lung.
There was considerable inside hem
orrhage and some by nose and
mouth. The wound-where bullet
entered-bled only slightly. He
was found shortly after the &C
cident and was rushed to Peters
burg on the Eunice by John Bean,
his brother. Here, In town, he was
first visited by DR.. Jones, and >this
doctor advised immediate removal
to the Wrangell hospital as his place
was crowded. DR.. Standard was
then called and he went with the
wounded man to Wrangell. Some
six hours later the bullet was re-
moved and Or. Standard returned
home on the Yukon Tuesday fore
noon. He left the patient with his
chances at $3.50 one way or the
other. The removed bullet, one OF
the soft nosed variety, was az fat
as IL hammered on an anvil al
though IL hadn't touched bone in
Ito travel. John Bean, returning
some II hours after DR.. Standard
was advised at the Wrangell hospita
that there was an improvement il

Douglas, Alaska.
Dear Mr.. Eddy:
l have yours of resent date, Jan
20 relative to the "perking OF
politics" in your locality.
In Ketchikan the United Sons of
Alaska ia the strongest factor pol
itically. They are now nearly 1000
strong and easily controlled the last
City election. They will probably
put Up City ticket at the coming
election. Your position relative to
Mr.. Will Paul IL not logical, for you
suggest Mr.. Benjamin Of Ketchikan
as a logical candidate for Senator.
notwithstanding the fact that he
and Mr.. Paul are close political
friends. To vote for Paul and not
vote for Benjamin, or to vote for
Benjamin and not for Paul would be
quite foolish. I wish to assure you
that I have no combination with
Mr.. Paul. However, cannot well
understand how you can oppose Mr.
Paul as he is q BOSOM friend of
Mr.. White, your superior officer.
lam awfully glad to know where
you stand as to Mr.. Paul's can
didacy.
OF course you understand that
Paul has strong opposition In his
own party in Ketchikan and this
city polls nearly X the vote Of the
Division. He will not run as we'll
this year as he has In the past for
the same reasons that you state he
will be "shelved" up there, and
stronger effort than ever before will
be made by those who heretofore
have opposed him. Mr.. Paul Is op-
posing Senator Hunt who has many
old time friends here and this op-
position to Senator Hunt will
estrange Pauls friends among the
Pioneers. He is also opposing me
In every way, and is naming, or at
tempting to name, the primary
nominees on the Republican ticket
without any consultation whatever
with the National Rep. Committee
man, elected by the people Of Alas
Ia. He assumes to be Legislator,
Chief of the Indian voters, dictator
of the pale-faces, Nat. Committee
man, advisor of Senator Hunt and
generalissimo for Dan Sutherland,
and fear he has over-burdened
himself In other words he as
sumes to be the Mussolina of the
Republican party in this Division.
/ feel that Senator Hunt Is much
stronger here than Mr.. Paul. There
are scores of Republicans here who
will support Senator Hunt who will
not support Representative Paul, for
the reason that the Representation
supports Benjamin against Hunt
Senator Hunt has just finished
his term as governor Of the Local

Thrift Aid to Courage

Thriftlessness often fosters cow

less persons. rarely have much back
bone. They are SO dependent upon
others for assistance that often they
cannot assert themselves to preserve
their self-respect. Their wasteful
habits sap their self-relance, their
: self-assurance. The thrifty individual.
of the other hand, has learned to stand
on his own feet. He has learned how
to take care, of himself, how to man.
age his affairs, how to provide against
emergencies. Therefore, he Is little
inclined to submit to uncalled for in
dignities. Nor is he afraid to take
reasonable risks. His financial back
ing gives him courage. And without
courage few successful careers have
been built up. Thus we arrive at this

In view of the disastrous Mlssis-
sippi floods it is interesting to note
that 2,1OO years ago a Chinese engi-
neer, Li-ping, laid down the correct
engineering principle for controlling
the flood conditions of river How
ing through fat alluvial plain.
The works that he and his sons es-
tablished for controlling the waters
of the Min river in rSzeclfwan prov
ince and distributing them across the
great Chengtu plain are still In per-
feet operation. The Chengtu plain Is
an area 100 miles long and sixty miles
wide. Across this plain the Min river
is distributed in eight main branches,
converging at the lower end OF the
plain to form single river again,
which empties into the Yangtze above
the Gorges.
Throughout the 2,10O years, the en-
cheering principle laid down by LII
ping, without which the whole system
would have destroyed itself centuries
ago, has been followed. Flood condir

PRACTICAL ROMPERS

Should Be Aid and Not Hin.
drance to Self-Dressing.

prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics
The prime requisite of practical
rompers for child of three or over
is that they should be an aid and not
a hindrance to self-dressing. They
should also, of course, be practical
from the standpoint of material, ease
of laundering, cut and fit, and they
should be attractive, so that the child
will enjoy possessing and wearing
them.
A front-opening romper with as few
fastenings as possible is desirable for
either girl or boy. drop seat is
necessary on all rompers after a baby
has been trained in toilet habits. On
the romper Illustrated, which is
good type for little girl, three large
flat buttons are used. These are easy
to find and handle, as they are but

perature that corresponds to rare,
medium, or well-done, whichever you
prefer.
Serve the meat on a hot platter,
surrounded by brown potatoes or by
squares Of Yorkshire pudding. York
shire pudding is the traditional ac-
compartment to roast beef. 1t owes
it's popularity partly to the fact that
it is favored with the drippings from
the meat. 1t used to be customary to
cook the Yorkshire pudding under the
rack on which the meat was roasting,
so that the juices of the roast would
drip on it, but a more easily managed
method is to put it in pan by it,
self, and haste it occasionally with
drippings Yorkshire pudding is made
of the following ingredients:
/ cupful milk eggs
u cupful flour 4 tablespoonful
u teaspoonful of beef drippings

Sift flour and salt, add the milk and
beat until smooth, add the eggs, and
beat with Dover egg beaten for five
minutes. Put the beef drippings into

thick. Bake in hot oven for Is to 20
minutes. Cut ia squares and serve

APRICOT WHIP HELPS

Dried fruits help out the spring
menu. Dried apricots have an espe.
cially good flavor and may be used in
numerous ways, after they have been
soaked overnight and cooked until
soft. For instance, an apricot short
cake is easily made from the cooked
pulp, sponge cake or biscuit, and some
whipped cream. The recipe here Civ
en- for apricot whip will be popular
with the family. 1t originated in the

be strongly made and no longer than

The bureau of home economics of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has been designing a number
of kinds of childrens rompers, suited
to different ages. This romper has
one of the features that Is being es-
pecially communication buttons,
instead of three, on the belt of tile
dro seat. These are placed two at
each side toward the underarms,
where the child herself can reach
them, instead of having to struggle to
reach button in the middle Of her
back.
Other good points about this romper
are the CROTCH. shaped to make it fit
neatly, aid the leg finish, without
either cloth or elastic bands. The
fullness in the legs is slightly gath
cred at the sides into binding to
give bloused effect and. better fit.
