Compromise On
Damage Action

Bryan Knight yesterday afternoon
filed in the county clerks office n
petition to compromise the claim OF
Weldon Knight. his son and a min
or, against Joseph E. Slovak for S65.
and the petition was granted by
Judge A. c. Finney.
Although it is questionable as to
whether there is any legal respon-
sibility on the part of Slovak for
an accident in which the boy was
injured, the petition said, Slovak is
willing to compromise the claim by
paying SOS.
Weldon Knight was injured when
riding with Slovak November %, 80
miles west of El Centro. The boy,
in trying to raise a window in Slo-
vaks car, opened tine door by mis-
take and fell out, breaking a bone
in his left foot and suffering cuts
and bruises.

fine INCREASE
IN SHIPMENTS
BY FRICIDAIRE

DAYTON, o.. Dec. l. (SpeciaD-
Preparing for an increased public
demand for electric refrigeratcrS
this Christmas, F'rigidaire Corpor-
alton during the first part of Nov
ember increased shipments mater
ially above those for the like period
of last year. it was announced by
f. G. Biechler. president and gen.
eral manager.
1T is evident" he said, that
this Christmas will be marked, even
more SO than the last one, by the
giving of practical gifts. We found
that electric refrigerators were
popular Christmas gifts last year
because they combine utility with
sentiment. This year we have ey-
cry reason to believe Santa will
bring more of these household serv
ants to American homes than he
did in 1890
The heavy shipments of early
November it was pointed out, will
make it possible for Frigidaire rep

to show a full line of these house.
hold electric refrigerators at their
showroom Christmas exhibits, now
being opened for the public.
There are many reasons" Biech-
Ter continued, for the increasing
popularity of electric refrigerators
as Christmas gifts. They are gifts
which will be remembered every
day Of the year. They make the
lot of the homemaker easier by
eliminating much work, ending re-
frigeration worries and reducing
the number of trips to food stores.
In addition, they save money by
reducing food spoilage losses, by
making it possible for the house
wife to take advantage of quantity
food prices and Saturday bargains,
and by the low operating cost.
Besides guarding the health ana
the pocketbook of the family, the
modern electric refrigerator opens
to the homemaker a new world in
food preparation. This is known as
cold cookery, and includes chilled
and frozen desserts and salads,
and many other things"

 Gives His Team Vic- tory on Elks' Alleys

The Bluebirds won two out of three from the Crows last evening on the Elks' alleys and the second and third games of the match fur nished some of the greatest thrills eyer seen on the local alleys.
 The Bluebirds won the first game easily and it looked as though they would win the second also, when Selby came to bat in the tenth ,frame. He was the last man to bowl for the Crows and they needed 29 pins to win. He slipped in three pretty strike balls and the game was on ice by a margin of two pins.
 Revenge Is Sweet
 Sweet revenge came to the Blue birds in the third game and this time it was Kaufman, the Blue bird anchor-man who played the role of hero. When the tenth frame he had 40 in the eighth frame, a strike in the ninth and in order for the Bluebirds to win

JUSTICE BETTER LIFT bANDACE
 FROM HER EYES
If Judge Harding Doesn t, Chief Cetchell Will
 Beat Him Bowling

Is justice blind? She is always with her eyes band aged Maybe she lifts the fold occasionally to peep beneath it. She better permit Justin w. Hard ing, judge of the United States dis trict court here to shift the band age to the top of his head this evening. In bowling game on the Elks Alleys he will captain 6 team against an aggregation skip pered by George Getchell, chief of police. The chief not only never shades his eyes but he constantly tries to keep them looking from all around his head.
 Neither the judge nor the chief qualities as an expert bowler, but both have had some practice and neither will be outplayed by any of their team mates. One of the of the match is that the four other members of each team must never have rolled ball down an alley toward a set of pins.
 But if the judge and chief have n't much experience they are not all lacking in confidence. Each is certain of winning. They have agreed that the loser must buy feed for the lodge There are PTS members of the lodge residing in Juneau. All but few, bedridden by serious illness, will be there.

GATEWAY AGREES WITH WILBUR

For years Aaskans have been bowling to the heav- ems above for more population. Secretary Wilbur de- cides to take hand and issued announcement advs ing unemployed in the states to go West and North
 But the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and the do- cile Anchorage Times don't want that; they want a bunch of suckers to to Alaska with welned pock cts. There are too many unemployed and "broke" men ill the Territory they excaim. A soon in South eastern Alaska also takes Wilbur to task for his utter ance.
 Two months ago The Gateway led in advocating that unemployment in the States to Alaska said 1t would be easier to stae up here than out there That 50000 came to Alaska tomorrow in year the Terri tory would swallow them up they would be just hap py and contented the average Alaskan today; that they would be doing the identical things are doing and undoubtedly would lease of life for Alaska The Juneau chamber and the Times would turn starving folk away from their door If they pay their way come in!
 To cut long story short, how many Alaskan cit- here today came Alaska with the filthy coin of the realm in pocket? D-few brother, D. few! We all came North to seek fortunes; got by and still getting by we'll the average and fail to see what right by what reasoning the Juneau civic body andand what Editor C. J. Lincke terms the "Hinook err of Anchorage (whatever that means) arrive at the decision only people with money come to Alaska.
 The Gateway agrees with Secretary Wilbur 100 per cent that young in the States should turn their faces toward Alaska We could wish nothing better than the arrival of 50,000 to a million immediately.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM

There has been an Indian problem in the United States since it's earliest settlement but that prob lem is being solved by the gradual absorption of the Red Man into general population according to Sec retary Wilbur of the Department of the Interior.
 We have about 350000 persons of Indian blood in the entire country of whom about one-thrd in Ok lahoma The rest widely scattered among 26 states and Alaska but the reservation Indians are inter- marrying with the white population and rapidly as- sumng the white mans of living. A notable cepton to this general trend is among the Maya jos of Arizona, who have reservation large the state of New Jersey and still hold aoof from the pale face.
 It is the policy of the government to encourage the remaining Indians to obtain education and training with view to their giving up reservation life and talk ing their places among the independent citizenship of the country.
 There maintained 203 day and boarding schools for Indian pupils where instruction, food lodging and clothing are furnished free by Uncle Sam. These are privileges granted to other element of population
 Secretary Wilbur declares that it has become ob- vious that the Red Man eventually must lose his iden hty and become as the rest of us and adds: "From sentimental standpoint there is much to regret in this fact but it is none the less inevitable"

DIR. Ennion williams of the State Board
of Health and with DR.. Grant, in
charge of medical supervision of the
various health units on the continue
ton next year of the full time health
unit. The State officials strongly urged
the retention of the unit by the county
and pledged an increased appropriation
fro n the State. Under the arrangement
which has been In effect during the past
year the State has paid $500, the
county $500 and the Fairfav County
Red Cross 81 900 and Representative

Red Cross and State authorities, the
requirements for Red Cross nurses and
for State public health nurses differ
ing materially, particularly as regards
welfare work.
The proposed budget as published by
the supervisors includes an appropria-
ton of $500 for public health work,
This increase in 81 900 was made neces-
sary by the withdrawal of Mr.. Moore's
$1,000. The Red Cross chapter has
pledged its 81 900 again if<the money
is needed to insure the continuation of
the unit. If the board accepts Col.
Keeley's offer, an increase over last
years expenditure of only $3.50 will be
necessary This is a decrease Of $3.50
over the amount already tentatively al
lowed.
Cut Would Be Mistake.
Col Kelley stated that while he felt
that the county would be making seri-
Gus mistake in giving up the full time
health unit. the State would agree to
give 81 $50 if the unit is cut to a health
nurse and sanitation expert as has been
urged by some members of the board.
DR.. Grant will cone to Fairfax
County in the next few weeks and will
make a thorough study of the health
situation in Fairfax County His report
will be submitted to the supervisors for
their information prior to their budget
meeting.
