He told Of how he was once

In India. His life was saved by
the natives. Another time he was
waylaid by Persian bandits and
robbed. Again he escaped from a
colony OF fugitive lepers in the
mountains Of Persia. Still another
time he and a companion were
lost In the desert, but were spared
when discovered by the Foreign
Legion troops.
Tulsa's proudest achievement is

 places of Gus Borgen and R. J. Mo Kama, resigned.
 On motion of H. s. Balderston, seconded by J. L. Reed, the posi- tion of temporary secretary, filled 1 by E. P. HarWood, was made per manent.
 On motion of Cal M. Brosius, sec onded by L. V. Ray, all offices of the club now occupied, were made permanent.
 Secretary Harwood reported that, pursuant to instructions, he had addressed communications to other portions of the Third Division re- questing that delegates be named for the forthcoming convention, and that he had addressed a letter to President Hoover conveying the confidence of the club in his ad- miniStration.
 Contagious Vigor
 The membership committee re- ported that there were several filled lists, which were turned oyer to the secretary, but that individ- ual canvassing was not sufficient to accomplish what was desired. Youthful vigor and contagious enthusiasm was injected in the re- marks of Harold Sogn, a member of the committee, who said:
 Tt Is my impression that we will secure more members by advertis- ing our aims in the newspaper. Here we may keep the principles of the party before the people so that they will have an opportunity to make a choice. It would do more than anything else to gain membership and assist the party" He believed that the coming cam paign was going to be hard and spirited one, and nothing should be overlooked to make success possible.
 Need for Discretion During the meeting, Cal Brosius, member of the last Territorial House, took occasion to sound a warning for vigor and discretion in selecting candidates. He char acterized the Anchorage members, both of the House and Senate, as subservient to direction by others. Mr. Brosius summed up his anal ysis by the following observation: A Rotten Session The last session was the rotten est ever held. But maybe some thing was started that may work out satisfactorily if strong men are sent to Juneau. AS for myself, I am not candidate for reelection, as I have my business to attend to. trust MT. Erskine may be avail able for the Senate, for he Is successful business man and should be able to give good service for the section he represents" Stresses Fairness

 That no time should be lost m selecting candidates was pointed out by MT. Ray, who said that names must be presented by April to get onto the primary ballot.
 Just before the close of the meet ing President Urbach took occasion to express the appreciation of the club for the presence of Mrs. Harold Sogn as representative of the fair sex.
 Delegates Named
 Treasurer H. s. Balderston was named to act as a means and ways committee in rounding up contr1- buttons to the clubs treasury.
 The following list of delegates to the forthcoming convention was submitted by the committee on delegates, and, as there were no other nominations offered, was ac- cepted:
 Elwyn Swetmann, Cole McDou- gall, H. s. Balderston. R. D. Sul- livan, c. E. Orlander, L. A. Peel, Leon Urbach and Harold Sogn. The meeting was adjourned Sub- ject to the call of the president.

WAGE CUT STORY
DENIED BY BARN ES
Statement Says Desire Is to Keep
Greater Number Employed by
staggered" Hours.

Denying recently published news
story that he had advocated wage re-
auctions, julius H. Barnes, chairman
of the board of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, issued state
ment today asserting he was opposed to
any wage cuts, but favored, in times OF
depression, the keeping of the greatest
number Of persons employed by stag
gered" hours.
Concerning the latter procedure, Mr.
Barnes said:
To my mind it is better to have the
fullest number of persons employed, If
necessary at shorter hours, than To
have the fewer number living under
the fear Of possible unemployment held
before their eyes by those out of work
That does not mean a cutting of wage
scales or rates. 1t does mean mora
general spreading temporarily OF total
earnings.
wouldn't any man rather work tenn
porarily on shorter hours than TO take
a cut in his wage scale, if on the re-
turn of full-time employment his wages
automatically are restored to thei1
former basis?"

Jones' maternity and infancy bill to

M. Wells of Minneapolis, vice president,
said:
1T is evident that the National
League of Women Voters is undaunted
by the failure TO secure maternity and
infancy legislation in the last session
of the Congress and is determined to
make vocal in the next session the
need for this type of legislation, so OBJ
vious under present conditions, when
there is great need among children.

provide for them"
Invitations for the 1882 biennial con-
