There are no ties-no sentiment
between games, as shown by the clash
ing of the cricket and foot ball sea-
sons, and although q ministry of sports
need not have compulsory powers, there
Is need of such a controlling body 10
conflicting views and work for the good
of games at large.
More and more industry and
municipal building are eating into
our sports Enclosures, and even the
big clubs, with their exclusive COM
mitments, do not know whose turn
next 1t will be to be endangered by
this continuous encroachment.
THE ministry of sports II, only a
tribunal, could hold the balance between
our industrial needs and our physical
and sporting needs. Times have changed
since the war, and We do 1t know
what developments will arise. Sport is
our heritage and needs such national
protection as ministry could provide. I"
The necessity for a secretary of
sports In the United States was indi-
Gated some time ago by the New
York State Boxing Commission when
Messrs. Muldoon and Farley declared
that there should be national action
to save the caulihower industry. But
these jealous defenders Of the manly
art OF modified murder saw only the
dangers to which prizeflghting was
exposed because of the mercenary
attitude of promoters and prize
fighters
Their plan indicated a secretary Of
prlzehghting or secretary of cauli-
flowers. But that would be showing
governmental favoritism to only one
branch Of commercialized sport. 1t
would not be fair to have q cabinet
official in charge of only the caulidower
industry when there Is also the ivory
business, or the national pastime of
base ball.
OF course, base ball has what
amounts to secretary Of ivory in
the person of Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, than whom there
Is no one more aSSiduous and COM
petent, but If we are to have a
cabinet officer for any sport we
should have cabinet officer for all
the sports. The cauliflower industry
involves many millions; the ivory
industry involves more millions.
Then there is golf, which involves
more millions than either.
With all this wealth represented, we
simply should have secretary of sports
Also. it would seem that he should be
appointed before the British beat us to
it with a minister of sports.
The Magnates Approve.
THERE are many points in the plea
1 of Mr.. Knowles for a minister Of
sports that would appeal to our pro-
motors of professional sports. It is the
purpose of this campaign Ito secure
the abolition of rates and taxes on all
land kept or preserved mainly or ex-
clusively for the purposes of cricket"
am quite sure that similar
campaign in this country would have
the whole-hearted support of Mr..
Charles A. Stoneham, of the New
York Giants and Col Jacob Rupert
of the New York Yankees. They
would be delighted with the sug-
gestion that the Polo Grounds and
the Yankee Stadium be freed of all
taxes and Government rates of any
sort while they are maintained
wholly or In part for purposes Of
base ball.
At the same time am quite sure,
that Mr.. William F. Carey and the 600

 Tt has already been demonstrat- ed that this is the best muskrat country in the world" he said "The climatic conditions are ideal for producing a supreme fur known as Hudson seal, with a thick hide and a perfect pelage. It is also known as the home of the blue fox and there seems no good reason why mink as well as raccoon and silver fox should not flourish.
 1T have no fault to find with the conditions that Nature has fur niShed, because know from eXper- fence they are right for successful fur ranching, but have got a grievance against the many man. made restrictions imposed by un- wise legislation which are making it almost impossible to induce capi- tol to come into one of the finest fur countries on earth.

tive. It does not destroy as in min ing or timbering, but real capitol hesitates about going into 1t be- cause it can't be made big enough under the restrictive regulations that exist in Alaska thus leaving many islands unproductive and cutting off vast source of revenue to the Territorial government.
 MT. Bennett in discussing the actual conduct of fur ranching operations spoke of a new phase that has recently been much dis cussed among fur farmers regard ing the interchange of male foxes ito keep the blood up. If this is not done, it has been discovered, the breeding ratio falls rapidly and has been the cause of many failures. He believes that the future of the fur rancher in westward Alaska is the most promising of all industries because of the ideal conditions that prevail; because of the constantly decreasing natural supply of wild fur and because of the ever in creasing demand of the ladies of the world for personal adornment. He looks confidently forward to the time when muskrat pelts will be one of the principal exports of All aska.

KODIAK, July 24, Special to the Gateway)- With 1000 pair of muskrat being prepared for ship ment from Montana and Washing ton; a large consignment of mink from Wasilla, Alaska; racoon from Wisconsin and SO additional pair of blue fox from various islands of the westward, the Alaska Fur Cor poration is we'll upon it's way with one of the largest fur farming pro- jects ever attempted in Alaska. The main operations will be carried on at Long Island, 10 miles east of Ko- diak, where a complete plant, in cluding cookery and cold storage, is being installed. Long island was one of the original fox ranches of Alaska, having been stocked by the Semidii Propagating Co.,, 40 years ago, and the new company headed by A. w. Bennett, who is backed by eastern capitol finds many won derful blue fox still flourishing there.
 The island is between two and three miles long by nearly a mile in width; is dotted with beautiful small lakes and furnished with splendid timber and many running streams. Muskrat introduced there in 1925 are thriving under ideal conditions.

Male Critic Severe on
Work of Women Poets

If an effort were made to deter
mine what elements constitute fem
mime poetry, one would name first its
chief characteristic = subjectitity-
When a woman writes poetry her
emotions generally center around her
self and she is only interested In the
world as something that reflects IA
vorably or unfavorably on her own
individuality. 1t is usually favorable
and when unfavorable, wailingly agon-
lied, writes Herbert G. Brunchen, In
the North American Review.
AS an artist 1t is rarely that a wo-
man can translate her emotions OBJ
jectively; in other words to compre-
bend the world and the human beings
that are part of 1t, not as they touch
herself, but as they affect the great
lot of humanity.
Feminine poetry, moreover, when 1t
is cheerful, is generally so in a super
fetal way; 1t Is too often over-refned
through an erroneous and typically
feminine conception of the difference
between refinement and truth. 1t is
embroidery poetry, very apt to be SEN
timental and cloyingly sweet.
And only In rare instances does one
find a poem written by woman where
the unpleasantness and even tragic
truths Of human relationships have
not been carefully censored or CLOSED
over.

Little Child Led Where
Police Feared to Enter

"Teddy" Is dog, police dog. NOT
a dog attached to the police force, but
one of those up-standing-eared fellows
alert from the tips of his paws to the
tip of his husky tail. The police"
refers to his breed and not to his af-
| filations.
Lieut.. Maurice A. Kelliher and
Sergt. Oliver ]. Barron found this out
when they tried to persuade Teddy to
let them enter his home in the absence
Of any members of the family. Teddy
was just plain tough" and the en-
thusiasm with which he indicated
what tie meant to do was very con-
vincing.
Teddy's mistress, Mrs. Marcella Vas
chilla, had been stabbed and taken
away to hospital. 1t was necessary
for the detectives to enter the house,
but Teddy said, mo" That Teddy
would have been target for the Off
GERS bullets or a victim Of gassing'
seemed the only way.
And then a small boy of the neigh
borhood appeared on the scene. with
out hesitation he walked into the
house. Teddy wagged his tail and
said, Hello, old sport" in the best
dog language, submitting in the mean
time to being tied so that he was no
longer menace to officers Of the law.
Thus a little child did lead two

Polish Mourning Traditions

Polish tradition is very strict as re-
CARDS mourning, AT least in the case of
women Mourning is signifed above
all by black hat and veil. In the
hard postwar years poverty compelled
opinion to accept any dark-colored
dress and coat, even at the funeral
itself.
The hat and veil are worn, not only
by women but also by girls Of all ages
from ten upward 1t is quite common
to see schoolgirl running about with
veil trailing behind her such as only
an old-fashioned widow would wear in
western Europe or America.
This custom does not affect working
women, since they rarely wear hats,
but only shawls over their heads.
