GREAT JUNEAU CITIZEN IS DEAD.

One of the leading factors in the life of Juneau and Alaska passed away when former Mayor Emery Valentine died early Wednesday morning For forty four years he a prominent citizen of this com munity and often the leader in municipal admin istration and civic matters He was true pioneer in experience and spirit. good business man and trader with accurate judgment as to values he ac- cumulated a fortune. He money-maker and money spender He gave liberaly to churches and charities and for public improvements and in the interest of the general welfare His private gifts to those in distress would into large figures. No one in need was ever turned down by him. Hun dreds of oldtmers, living and dead, were aided by him. He for years always ready to grubstake prospector to advance money to individuals and families in order to give them a start in life or help them to regain their feet after stumbling.
 Emery Valentine would fight for his convictions to the last and fight bitterly if he thought 1t neces- sary but he rarely cherished anmosities of any sort Many of those with whom he battled politically and in a business way were afterward befriended by him. For years he made strong friends and bitter enemies but in the end he would forgive his enemies and be forgiven by them. So uniformly was this the case that for the last several years when health weakening his magnificent physique, he had not an enemy in the whole town. Among those who frequently visited him at his place of business and with whom he held intimate and friendly relations had formerly been political antagonists
 Emery Valentine a very remarkable man His was strong and vrile character. He was patriotic to the core always loyal to his country and home town. He never failed in citizenship or the of humanity in a crisis He would work with political or personal enemies readily with associates. friends if the general welfare or the cause of his country indicated that it was neces- sary.
 The editor of The Empire can speak advsedly of Juneau's dead citizen. For years they were in opposing political camps. They fought hard and each victories and each suffered defeats Yet, through all the battles they were close personal friends. For the last haf-dozen years The Empire had no stancher champion than Emery Valentine
 Juneaus grief for the departed is genuine. This City and it's people have lost a wonderful citizen and frend-one whose like they will probably never have again. There is none to take his place.

WOMEN EARN FIRST PLACES WITH
 THE YACHTS.

After winning high honors in aviation and the rifle championship of England women were con- spcuously among the victors at Englands most fa- nous yaching regatta at Cowes. They won two firsts and one second in hoty contested races de- feating in all three instances some of the best yachtsmen of Great Britain. This has instigated an agitation in favor of raising the ban on women in the Royal Yacht Squadron the most exclusive organization it is said of any kind in the British Isles.
 Commenting on the situation, the Manchester Guardian champion of liberalism, says:
 It seems rather absurd, in view of the fact that women competitors did well Cowes, that they should still be de- barred from membership of the Royal Yacht Squadron, though it is reported that they are now allowed to the lawn of that ex- elusive club Women will eventually be ad- mitted to everything. That is obvious. The pity is to admit them reluctantly, for by so doing whet their appetite and help to keep alive the unpleasant thing called Fem insm. It is always important to know when to give way and how to give way graciously For unless you give way at the right time and in the correct manner you create some thing worse than the old prohbition-a raw aggressiveness. So that such strongholds of male eXclusveness as Cambridge University and the House of Lords and the Royal Yacht Squadron neither charmingly old-fash- toned nor amusingly prejudiced. They merely prevent society from taking for granted something that should have been taken for granted long ago. They keep alive an old attitude of mind which only be harm ful in the modern world The equality of the sexes is now an established fact. Women do things now that formerly only men did, and do them well. There is nothing particularly astonishing in this, certainly nothing alarm ing in it. It represents simply an inevitable change from one form of society to another. And since in any change it is always as well to get over the transition period as quickly as possible because of it's awkwardness, those die-hards who seek to prolong the transi- ton period are public nuisance. The mem bership of the Royal Yacht Squadron is an utterly unimportant matter except in so lar bv it's excluding women. lot of rusty armour

From the standpoint Of safety,
brakes are really the most important
part of an automobile. Few indeed
are the garages or service stations
properly equipped to care for the
braking systems of modern cars.
Machinery and modern methods have
taken the guess-work out of brake
service and placed it on a scientific
basis. It requires thousands of dol
lars in test equipment alone, not to
mention special tools and money
spent to acquire manufacturers data

testing is inferior, more expensive,
and now almost obsolete. You owe
it to yourself and the members OF

them tested regularly on a reliable
machine. Aside from the standpoint
of safety, it saves you money on
