Mary and Noel Lead Rescue Party
to Save Prince Georges, but Dis

Reach the Scene
Mary had not seen either Noel
or me as she dashed into the res
taurant, by the bay. crying wildly
for someone to come quickly. That
she was frantic with fright was pat
ent. and her own appearance was
a terrifying thing. Her dress was
torn. her shoes and stockings COW
cred with dust. and with wisp OF
a handkerchief she was dabbltng
futilely at blood which ran down
into her eyes from cut on her
head.
Noel sprang from his chair the
instant she appeared in the door,
way, and raced toward her. ] was
but a few steps behind him as he
caught her swaying figure and
steadied her.
Mary! Mary" His voice was an
anguished cry. What is it,"
She was so obsessed with what
ever fear was upon her that she
evinced no surprise at seeing him or
me.
"Oh, Noel! Auntie Madge!" she
exclaimed as if her cry had sum-
moncd us. Hurry! Hurry! I'm
afraid they've killed him"
She turned toward the door, but
Noel's grasp of her arm frightened.
You are hurt! You must be taxi

I'm not hurt at ALL" she said
furiously. This is only a scratch
that l could stop if had decent
handkerchief. Thank you" as one
of the walters who had rushed to-
ward US proffered her a serviette
which he had dipped in cold water.
This is all I need. But come!
Everybody"
To the Rescue!
With 1.-THE agility she wriggled
out OF Noel's grasp and made for
the door. But he was at her side
the next instant, keeping pace with
her.
IAN right, l won't hinder you"

me help you. You cannot risk fall
ing again. This way. My car is
over here"
He took her arm. supporting her
as she ran. With a squirt of speed,

ran to Noel's parked car.

called to a couple Of walters who
had followed us out. You may be

is the new "mastic" colored kid

beige shade that is equally good
with tans, browns and greys.
Mules can be as exquisitely in

and statesmen.
The chief physical defect which
may incapacitate a motor driver Is
that having to do with the eyes.
although there are other physical
infirmities which may cause seri-
Gus trouble.
In a survey Of the subject, Dr..
". H. Crisp points out that 1t would
seem advisable to require that no
person subject to epileptic attacks
should be allowed to drive an auto.

appreciably less safe a. drivers than
those who hear we'll.
A nervous. jumpy. easily frighten-
ed driver Is often to blame for motor
accidents, yet no one knows any
means by which nervous. jumpy.
easily excited people can be kept
from driving motor cars.
Limited Vision
Anything which interferes with
good vision is likely to be a serious
handicap. People who have only
one eye or who can see with only
one eye are commonly regarded as
unsafe, for the simple reason that
their fields Of vision are limited and
they are not able to see objects ap-
preaching except from one side.
Some people who can see we'll by
day suffer from night blindness.
People who suffer constantly with
eyestrain have occasional blind
spells when they are momentarils
unable to see anything.

If the same amount of re- search and earnest effort to pn- derstand, were devoted to a study of the North American Indian as has been lavished on unearthlng the secrets of the pyramids or Egypt, it would bring to light a yeritable treasure house of inter esting and extremely valuable in formation in a practically un- explored field of ethnology. It would doubtless disclose many hitherto unsuspected facts that would constitute an invaluable aid in determining the origin of the various peoples inhabiting th g western hemisphere prior. to it's occupation by the Caucasian race. It might even furnish the connec- ting link showing the long sus- pected, but never quite established relationship of the Aztecs and Tol- tees of Mexico and central Amerl- ca to the ancient Egyptians.
 At least this is the firm con- viction of Raymond L. Ready, mem Der of the Haida tribe of Indians in Southeastern Alaska, who is an earnest and well-informed stu dent of the history, traditions, legends and religious beliefs of his people. Tn addition to this he has made an intensive study of totemism. "The totem poles of the Alaskan Indians" Mir. Ready said, "are not merely fanciful carved ornamentations, as is gen. erally and erroneously supposed, but are actually religious and his torical documents Their analogy, in some instances, to events chron- icled in our own Bible, is so strik-

FEW YORK, April IT, R)- The Atlantic coast from Maine to Virginia is strewn with high wreckage piled up under the bat tering northeast storms raging for the past 24 hours.
 Wind and waves sank small craft and demoralized shipping; damaged shore structures along the coast and inflicted loss else where.
 There was a heavy snow storm in western Pennsylvania and in New York harbor tug and two barges sank. Six liners were held in the outside harbor waiting for the weather to moderate before proceeding to their piers.
 The tide rose to within a foot of the top of the Battery wall, close to a record, being four feet above normal.
 At Bell harbor, in the RockaWay district, three-story frome build ing collapsed when the tide brot high waves to hammer against it.
 The wind rose to a velocity of 50 miles an hour along the Maine coast where a five-masted schoon- CT was torn from it's moorings and thrown on the rocks.
 In central Vermont the rain turned into snow and roads in the mountains became blocked.
 At Atlantic City the wind at sained a velocity of 78 miles an hour.

ing as yc constitute in itself a decidedly worthwhile field of study
 "The Indians do not worship these totem poles as gods They are the real histories of the North. Into those poles are carved hun dreds of legends of the Northland. They are a strange combination of mythology, Biblical incidents and history They attempt to preserve their history thru the carving on the poles"
 The totem pole here pictured serves as an illustration. It towers 50 feet on a hilltop at Wrangell, MT. Ready's home town, and chronicles the history and religi- ous traditions of several of the Northern tribes, as follows:
 'The white raven, seen at the top, is a spirit having supreme power. He can make either day or night last a long time. The Indians sought to capture and inn prison the raven, which proved elusive because he had power to change himself into other objects and escape.
 One day with the Indians close on the trail, the Raven changed himself into a pine needle. The wind was blowing, the pine needle was blown into the creek and was swallowed by the beauti- ful raven princess, the next lower figure carved on the pole.
 Tt was necessary for the white raven to be reborn as the raven child. Dawn followed the long Arctic night soon after the raven

JUNEAU, April IT, Special to the GateWay)-The house, yes terday afternoon by a vote of II to 5, passed it's own version ot Steels comptroller bill but in such shape it's own father would fail to recognize it; it ceased to be 'the comptroller bill'' and be- came a measure for creating the office of auditor and the popular election of an auditor and treas urer, leaving executive powers of the Governor untouched.
 Murray, dean of the house, declared it to be a workable meas ure in it's present form and char acterized the bill, as received from the senate and amended by the house, as "A mixture of dish water and dynamite"
 Members voting against the passage of the bill were Fisher, Mccormick, Mccain, Nylen and Vim. Fisher explained later he would not vote for any measure having any connection with the comptroller bill.
 Foster introduced measure levying a five dollar head tax to defray additional costs of old age allowances, for indigentS and children.

( )ining four distinctive and i'm portant clements into a whole, General Manager Otto F. Ohlson of the Alaska Railroad has launch ed upon a plan for attracting and holding settlers on the land in the Railroad Zone which promises to have a far-reaching effect, and is a distinct innovation in this line of empire building.
 The settler will have CD free land, (2) cheap transportation from the States, (3) aid in clear
 g the land, and (N means of
 lancing himself during the pro- cess of conquering the soil.
 Assisting Colonel Ohlson in the colonization plan is M p. Snod- grass, to whom may be accredited suggestion which solves the fourth element. It is a change in the timber laws, or rather an ex- ecutive interpretation, which gives to the settler the timber upon his homestead, to be sold as 1t is cut, and which reserves from pur- chase under the rules governing exporting timber from Alaska, all land suitable for farming.
 The importance of this innova- ton will be shown when it is pointed out that the best farming land in the Railroad Zone contains heavy stands of birch and cotton wood Hence the settler or local homeSteader will have a valuable crop already standing, which may be harvested while he is clearing his land, and the returns from which will go far toward defraying the expense of developing a farm.
 All that is needed to set the ma chinery into motion is a birch cutting Sawmill to purchase the logs and convert them into lum- Der and dimensions.
 The Alaska Railroad has a quan- tity of equipment suitable for pull vided into units, one being en- ing stumps, and this will be di- ployed wherever land clearing is in progress on an extended scale. Here again, the settler is freed of the burden of purchasing ex- Ipensive stump pulling equipment, and instead of waiting a long period -of years before having an appreciable acreage cleared he will be prepared to begin cropping an area sufficient to give him an ap- preciable monetary return at once.
 Thus, instead of a paternalistic program calling for large appro- priations, which would be fought in Washington a self-assisting plan has been created which will apply to resident homesteaders as (Continued on Page FiYe)
