COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAW LOST IN THE SENATE BY
 ONE VOTE

JUNEAU, April g, Special to The Gateway-After the House voted 8-7 to indefinitely postpone the Johnson-Nerland placer min ing industry 8-hour law, the mo- tion thus failing by one vote margin, it was promptly laid on the table. The same measure was again laid on the table in the af- ternoon by an identical vote and it is not expected that it will be moved during the present session.
 Allyn of Nome led the fight on the measure declaring the same sort of legislation was opposed by workingmen of Nome two years ago and read telegram which he had just received opposing the measure. The telegram was sign ed by 60 laborers
 He declared that the average worker in the Nome dredge indus try earned an approximate $500 per season and passage of this measure would mean cut to $500. He asserted Fairbanks work CTS probably would be similarly affected since no company could stand the 20 per cent wage un- der existing conditions.
 Every seat in the gallery was empty except for legislators, leg islative attaches and the press representative, when the widely discussed community property bill, a moot measure since 1929, was led to it's slaughter late in the afternoon. The Senate voted 4-3 on the final passage thus lack ing one vote of the constitutional majority
 This action came with surpris- ing audiences as but a few min utes before a vote was taken in which the Senate neticulously amended it, correcting phraseolo- gy, punctuation and striking out the provision which the House had inserted, to make it elective.
 Senator Dimond analysed the measure and showed that 15 out of g sections comprising the bill, were already in effect in the Ter ritory as individual sections of the Compiled Laws, leaving 15 new sections. On the final vote Benjamin, Dimond, Sunquist and Shatuck for ia and Sen. Lomen, Bragaw and Hess voting against

 Senator Borah is of the opinion that the Federal government and states have left the consumer out ot consideration in their plans for pro rata program. Any plan which deals with the interests of the producers alone will find it hard to obtain public or congressional approval, he said.

Editor, Journal of the American
Medical Association. and Of

Meuicdl ASSOCIATION, and OF
Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Everyone knows that some varieties
OF mushrooms are poisonous, but few
people realize that many other plants
are dangerous to eat or dangerous to
contact.
According to DR.. E. Q. Jordan, there
are several thousand poisonous plants
in the world and one authority in
Michigan lists 156 poisonous plants
growing in that state. Poison ivy is
much more dangerous to some people
than to others, because there is ap-
parently a special sensitivity to it.
Domestic animals eat poison ivy ap-
parently without harm.
A representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture
listed 80 important poisonous plants
growing in the United States. He
mentions the leaves of the false hele-
bore, from which a drug is made.
The fruit pulp of the Kentucky coffee
tree has been mistaken for that of the
honey locust. Daffodil bulbs taken as
a food are poisonous. The monks
hood root has been taken by mistake
for .h0rseradiSh. From the monks
hood root is made one of the most
powerful drugs and poisons known.
Children have been reported as
eating the shoots of mountain laurel,
it for wintergreen. Black
henbane seeds or the berries of the
deadly nightshade are also sources of
serious poisons.
The castor oil bean contains ricin,
one of the most powerful poisons
known, and the eating of these beans

Churches in China
(St. Paul DiSpatch)


Action OF the American Congregational Mission in
withdrawing from Fukien Province, China, is coincident
with pleas OF friends Of the Nationalist government that
all the churches suspend their mission activities in the
interior.
There have been, in the past few months, expressions
IN Chinese journals urging the various mission societies
IN the interior to suspend, at least temporarily, their
efforts at conversion. Native critics have charged that
the variety Of doctrine and the contradictions of teach
tngs have reduced benefits to the minimum while what
results have been obtained have come only through q loss
OF lie which the government has been unable to pre-
vent. These depredations the Chinese realize have been
the source OF recurring embarrassment for the govern
ment In its relations with other nations.
Whatever the viewpoint Of the Chinese, there Is Of
course the crusading, mission spirit Of the Christian
churches to be considered The courage and bravery
with which mission workers have carried the gospel to
places Of danger Is q tribute to their religious energy
and zeal. Perhaps, however, the withdrawal urged by
the Chinese and effected BY the Congregational Mission,
might be for the time being the discretion that IS the
better part OF valor. There are other fields more hospi-
table and just as needy. Dead soldiers fight no battles
and dead missionaries make no converts. and in the
present state Of dtsorders In many parts Of China, death
for missionaries + an eventuality the probability Of
which Is not lightly to be dismissed.

Put the Ria IN; put Rushe In

"Too bad. Rushe isn't In sucl
good form, either. What the 30.
and-so is the matter with yos
boys? Did you all 60 on . boozs
party last night?"
Buckbee was sore and worried.
"Try and stop the runs; never

So I was elected for two more In
ningS.
That would make five, and here.
tofore four had been my limit In
one game.
Here's where we murder 'em," J
heard one Of the Browns say as ]
was starting for the box.
I suppose he had every right ia
say it, for I sure had been far from
hot when I tossed for the first three
innings. But it made me sore.
On my way to the box I signaled
Noyes, and he was ready. The UNI
pire tossed me a brand new ball. I
suppose the batter expected me to
fool around with it, toss it in the
DIRT and take some of the luster
from it. But I didn't do anything
Of the sort. The moment the ball
came to my hands I let it drive.
1t wa too sudden a throw ana
went wild.
The batsman, to my surprise,
reached for it. It was away out OF
the way and he missed it, but his
mighty swing couldn't be pulled in
time and a boot of derisiOn went
up from the fans because he had
swung at it at all.
That gave me plenty of courage
and l drilled the next M down
with the knuckles. It wavered Graz
lily, as those balls almost always do.
The lad at the platter evidently
believed it would be another wide
ball and he didn't intend to be fooled,
so he didn't swing at all and the
pill Wavered and turned in sWeetly,
across a corner Of the plate.
Strike tuh!" the umpire informed
"Wha-at?" howled the batsman.
Then he grinned and tapped the
plate with the bat.
Il wound up slowly and took all
the time I dared.
When 1t went down it was travel
Ing with my best speed, and, while
I was no Walter johnson, it had
plenty OF stuff on it and came along
like a shot.
The man at the plate grinned as he
made a beautiful straight swat at
IL. ne expected to smack it for fair.
Perhaps it didn't occur to him
that after those frs: two freak balls
l would do anything else except
send 2 straight hot one. But nv
deep dipper drop tagged on the dill
and 1t ducked beautifully.
The man had been neatly famed.
and nc was the lad who had said,
when he saw that 1 was to be nut in
the box, Heres where we murder
'em."
The second man reached out and

single, but the third man IN went
down at once, and the second man
hadn't moved far from the first

POISON FROM PLANTS
Expert Names 30 Particularly Dangerous Kinds Growing
in U. S. But Fatalities Are Few

has caused the death of children A
single castor bean has caused dam
gerous symptoms within five minutes
In an adult; three beans have caused
serious illness, and a case is on record
In which five beans when eaten
caused death. The dangerous poison
OF the castor oil bean, which is ricin,
is not, OF course, the same as the pur-
gative substance present in castor oil.
A case is cited in which 80 boys
from a Brooklyn orphan asylum ate
bark stripped from black locust posts
that were being used in putting up a
fence. All of the boys vomited, had
high fever and dilated pupils, but for
tunately none of them died. The
hemlock is known as a poison since
the time when the famous philoso-
pher drank of it and since the time
when the Greeks used it to put GRIM
mails to death.
SOur-grass is rich in oxalic acid,
and the substance appears also in
coca powder, pepper, spinach and
rhubarb. There are cases in which
the eating of rhubarb has caused
oxalic-acid poisoning. It results par
ticularly when the rhubarb leaves
happen to be used as greens. Several
deaths are reported from this cause.
There r also cases of serious illness
from eating the leaf stalks.
Potatoes prematurely harvested,
soft potatoes or those that turn green
on exposure to light contain a toxic
substance which is also present in the
deadly nightshade and which can
produce serious illness as well as
death. Fortunately the number OF
deaths from all of these causes is

and an unusual problem to our educators and states.
men.
We are not, however, without a remaining frontier, but
1t Is not Of the physical kind and must be sought in the
mental and spiritual realm. So we were told by Dean
w. F. Russell Of Columbia university in a speech de-
lvered a few days ago before the American Association
OF Adult Education. He believes the unemployment
brought about by the changing conditions of the new
machine age can be remedied in a large measure by
training men and women for new jobs and a new start
in life.
There Is a frontier without and a frontier within"
says the Columbia dean. Nov that the external from
tier Is closed and its good lands occupied, we can turn
to the frontier within, which never can be closed. In
occupying this new frontier, We should be mindful of the
allures OF the old west: the different job and the new
start, the obstacles to be overcome, the equality of OPP
portunity. and the reopened door of hope for fame and
fortune. These should be the standards of adult edu-
cation"
Coincident with the delivery of Dean Russells ad-
dress, a book dealing with the problems of unemploy-
ment was issued in which the authors, Paul H. Douglas
and Aaron Director, have proved quite conclusively
through historical research that the displacement Of
workers by machinery will not continue as a permanent
problem. The ~hardships brought about by technical
progress are Of course very real, but are sure to be rem
edied by the adjustments which will follow.
The present situation in America is not unlike the in
ouStrlaI revolution In England q century or more ago,
when the introduction of machinery brought on a era OF
widespread idleness and distress. Englands predicament
at that time was largely due to the fact that it had no
frontiers close at hand to absorb the army of unem-
ployed.
A question will of course be raised as to the reality OF
the frontiers suggested by Professor Russell, but one
thing remains certain: Nothing has ever stood in the
way OF the idealisn,, inventiveness and daring which are
fundamental traits Of American character: and in view
Of the many monumental difficulties that our people have
overcome in the past. the present one presents no in
,uperable difficulties.

GERMAN AIR RAID

On June S, 1917, the third Of a Sc
ries of air raids took place when 16
German airplanes came over the
North Sea and dropped many bombs
on the small towns and villages in
Essex and Kent.
Only II of the raiders returned to
their home base, for two were brought
down by British guns. The British
casualties ere low, Only two being
killed and 20 injured.
The raiders next met with q lively
reception, extra precautions having
been taken by British authorities
after the previous raid. The Ger
mans were attacked by British avi-
ators before they had an opportunity
to carry out their raiding intentions
to any great extent, and the British
anti-aircraft guns were very effective.
The official statement said that the
raiders also attacked the naval estab-
lishments in the Midway. A consid-
cradle number of bombs were dropped
and a certain amount Of damage was
done to house property, but the dam
age done to naval and military estab-
lishments was practically negligible.
