ONCE-OVERS
Winter Exercise

In summer you may be
active in an athletic way be-
cause you enjoy some certain
line Of sport but in winter you
give up physical exercise out Of
doors.
You gain in weight and be-
come less energetic in the cold
weather.
Before the winter is half
over you don't feel right. your
digestion is poor, you have
headaches and frequent colds.
In fact you catch cold easily
and are i'll a long time with it.
You seek to avoid every
thing that requires physical
effort and want to hibernate
and yet you can't seem to con.
centrate your mind to the point
of bensficial study.
Lazy and out of sorts, you
avoid the crisp cold air all you
can.
How can you be so short
sighted?
Force yourself to walk in
the open air more than in past
winters.
Leave the car at home Ind
walk to work.
If you must ride to your job
get out and walk after dinner
at night.
Do some exercises before
breakfast before an open win
dow.

Workers Ideas

Why so insistent that your
way is the only way of doing
business?
Are you employing men to do
only your way, or are you
trying to improve constantly
on your own way and make a
better, bigger business?
If your way is out OF the
general run of those who are
engaged successfully in the
same business, it is hardly prob
able that it is so superior.
If your methods were SO
vastly better than other meth
ods they would be more gen.
orally adopted by other firms.
But you expect your men 10
work in the groove you lay
down.
You don't care for the in
ventor-you think him a
dreamer,
However, those who have
built up the biggest establish
ments are the ones who regu-
larly employ some one to think
UP improvements with economy.
Often such a man more than
pays for his own salary.
If he furnishes ideas they
must be tried out and proven
practical.
And there should be no law
against any other worker think
ing out ideas and being able
to present them to the firm for
approval.

different. It also a1lbied your
cowardice and cusSednesS. And,
so, you encouraged that feeling
in yourself.
And the more you encouraged
it, the more different you felt,
and the more shut out from
the rest of the world.
And the more shut-out you
grew, the lonelier you became
And now you're so lonely that
you often wish you were dead.
Well, you might as we'll be
for all the good you are to
yourself or anyone else. And
the saddest part is that you
are wishing it all on yourself.
There's a perfectly easy way
to get into other peoples lives
=. to share their joys and sor-
rows, their hopes and dreams.
And that is-LET THEM INTO
YOUR OWN.
But in order to do that you
must first break down this
wall you have built about your.
self. YOU MUST STOP
THINKING THAT YOU'RE
DIFFERENT. You aren't diff
ferent. Those emotions you
feel-your fear and anger and
confusion-exeryone else feels
that way, too. And the things
that have happened to YOU
the snubs, the shocks, the cruel
neglects and misunderstanding,
the humiliating blunders-they
have happened to other people,
too.
Those people you're envying
those popular, happy. successful
people-their lives haven't been
much different than yours.
They've simply taken life differ.
emily. They've realized that life
was all of a piece-and they've
taken and shared it just as it
came. They've taken, they've
given "pot luck"
An Old Saying
Remember that old express
sion? Your mother used it when
she asked some passing stranger
to stay for supper.
There isn't much" she'd
smile. "Just pot luck but
you're welcome"
And never a one refused that
welcome. Sometimes the pot
held mighty simple fare. Just
a boiling of beans or an old
fashioned vegetable soup. Some
times, on holidays, there were
grand leftovers from the turkey
dinner. But whatever there
was warmed the spirit as well
as the flesh, for her friendh'
ness went with it.
Life's "pot luck" too, my
dear. The same old pot for all
of us with the same old
making in it. Take it and
share it.
Don't huddle off in a corner
with your bowl of bitter brew.
Don't wait until some one
spreads a particular feast and
invites you to dine. Come out
of your loneliness and into the
friendly cheer. Throw your life
into that common pot-All Of
your life-don't hold back a
scrap of this or a shred of that
=. And then take out, as others
take-pot luck.
SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH
THE REST OF THE WORLD
AND THE WORLD WILL
SHARE ITS WITH YOU.

THE Seabury report is
= nothing bu$ a rehash,
with nothing new, of all the
newspapers have been pub
fishing during the investiga-
tion Of New York city. Lit
orally pages are devoted to
retelling in the papers what
the papers have told under
flaming headlines before.
This has been, to some of US,
the most curious feature Of
the whole proceedings.
Six or seven years ago it
was found, or charged, that
among the many Tammany
clubs there was professional
gambling in three or four.
At that time, six or seven
years ago, the police stopped
1.-THE police under the
Walker administration. And
six or seven vars ago the
newspapers published the
whole story wit flaming
headlines.
The present Investigation,
we'll financed by the tax
payers, brought this old
story of years ago into the
headlines again as something
new; and now Judge Sea-
bury tells the tale again.
The purpose of the Repub-
lican investigators was to
show that Mayor Walker
interfered with the suppress
sion of this gambling; but
when such men as McLaugh-
lin, former commissioner of
police, gave the lie to the
insinuation, we had sup
posed that was over. But
it takes a lot Of printers
ink to divert attention from
the effects of 1ooverism in
national administration; and
there isn't enough printer
ink.

The Judgeship
Deals

~SW41
Some evils and irregulari-
ties have been disclosed by
the investigation, but we
tremble to think what a SINH
lar investigation, with peeks
into the bank accounts, Of
the Government in Washing
ton would disclose. The
purely partisan character of
the proceedings in New
York; its inspiration in the
conferences between the Re
publican State chairman and
Mr.. Hoover; and the all too
evident animus Of Judge Sea-
bury against the Democratic
organization, which wins
Democratic victories, has not
been lost on the average man.
The discussion Of the
"judgeship deals" in the re-
port would be more impress
sive but for the evident de-
termination to protect the
Republicans, and particu-
larly Mr., Macy, the State
chairman. The report might
well have said that addi-
tional judges were needed in
Brooklyn; that the bar con-
ceded it; that the community
being Democratic, the new
judgeships would have gone
to Democrats, naturally; that
the legislature, being Repub-
lican, refused to give the
community what it's interest
required unless the Demo-
Gratis would bargain with
them for a division; and
that the bargain was the re-
suit of a kind of blackmail
by the Republican leaders Of
the legislature.
It might also have char
acterized quite frankly the
testimony under oath of Mr..
Macy, who "knew nothing
about it"
The investigation from the
beginning has been what it
was intended to be-a search
for an tissue" against the
Democrats, paid for by the
taxpayers of a State that
cannot afford to appropriate
sufficiently to prevent the
suffering and starvation of
children.

Wagner introduced his Fed

sound in economies and

for advance planning for
needed public improvements
to the end that when prl-
vate industry Jagged and
breadwinners were thrown
upon the streets public work
could be launched at once.
Year after year the Ad-
ministration opposed this
measure, but when as many
as 100000 men were on

continued his opposition and

of hearty approval not easily

The Plans
Are Ready

Now, as the result of the
Wagner measure, the stabili-
zation board has been busy
for six months in making
plans and specifications for
needed Federal construction.
These are ready now. Work
can be commenced without
delay. Congressional author
ization for the projects has
been given.
And the work now waits
on the President, whose duty,
under this law. is to submit
to Congress estimates on the
appropriations required.
This goes to the most
human problem of the hour
the finding of jobs and
bread for millions of men
and women denied the right
to work.
All this work, and vastly
more through the building Of
highways, can be given by
floating a prosperity loan,
such as Mr.. Hearst suggested
and Senator Wagner and
Senator La Toilette.
It would not be a burden
to be met today or tomorrow
for bonds would be bought
eagerly, and every cent
spent would be for improve
ments that increase the
wealth of the nation, and
million and a half of the job
less could be put to work di-
rectly; and in dir ectl ~,
through increased demands
on industries for the material
of the building, would give
employment to another great
army, and the money these
men would get in wages
would be spent with the mer-
chants.
1t is admitted that the rail
roads need help; that indus
tries may need help; that the
banks may need help; and
that the nations interest is
bound up in them all. But
men, women and children,
hungry, inadequately clothed,
evicted and desperate, need
help that they may live-and
it is about time to consider
them.
Private charity has not
furnished a drop in the
bucket of 4ecessity-and
won't. Local governments
have exhausted their re-
sources, and, needing loans,
they get them from the
bankers only on condition
that they discontinue public
improvements that give men
work, and this means too
that most of these local gov
ernments must discontinue
apprOpriating money to
feed the hungry.
If private charity fails,
and it has failed; if local
governments lust stop ap-
propriating money for the
hungry; if the Federal Gov
ernment persists in its de-
termination that not l cent
shall be appropriated to pre-
vent the starvation of the
innocent victims of greedy
and stupid economic policy,
what is to become of these
unfortunates?

Copper "OMest" Metal

"COPPER" Is believed by archeologists to be
the first metal to have been used by man.
The first Of the metal to be used by man IL
supposed to have come from the Island Of
Cyprus, which led to its name. Like gold and
silver, copper is usually found native. Copper,
however, unlike the former two, often comes
in huge blocks, some chunks weighing several
tons having been found. The richest mine in
the world IS the Calumet mine at Calumet,
Mich. In fact the whole Lake Superior area
leads In copper production, although the metal
is also found in Chile Japan, Mexico Austzal-
asia, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Russia and
South Africa. x 't-- 1924
Because Of its great conductivity Of heat and
electricity, being second only to Liver in this
regard, copper has widespread ucc in industry.

The bill in congress introduc- ed by Delegate WickerSham tC stop wanton waste and deStruc- tion of salmon and "other food fish" met with considerable Op position from the Juneau Cham Ter of Commerce. Senator Allen Shattuck, Democrat, the party which in it's platform decries the "Wanton waste and deStruc- tion of food fish" in Alaska, took initiative in wiring in protest of the Juneau Chamber.
 Petersburg, Wrangell and Ket- chikan Chambers of Commerce took the matter up both in re- gular session and in eXecutiv 2 session and all wired in their support of the measure to Dele gate Wickersham. All the out standing fishing towns and vil- lages also support the measure as against the opposition of Commissioner Henry O'Malley and the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.

 Vessel Regulation

Representative LaGuardia of New York, recently introduced ip Congress a bill to control and regulate all vessels of above 15 tons by subjecting them to the U. s. Steamboat laws. This would place. all such vessels under laws of inspection and op- eration, requiring duly licensed officers to be in charge. The ob- jection is made that this will entail hardship on fishing yes sels and private yachts which are becoming a large part of the transient population in Alaska.

Seattle Man
 Opposes WeICh Bill

A bill to require annual can rery location reports was op- posed before the House Mer- chant Marine Committee by A. Il Bradford of Seattle. The measure, by Representative Welch, Republican, California, would provide no Alaska car- nery could operate unless it had filed with the secretary of com merce not later than December 1 of the preceding year a state ment of the proposed location of operations. No cannery would be allowed to operate in more than enc location in any calendar years.
 MT. Bradford interpreted the till as a move in favor of shore companies to put floating can nerieS out of business. He sad the fishermen of his company, exclusively Alaskan residents, had been discriminated against by shore companies who import cd union fishermen from San Francisco.
 He read letters from Alaska fishermen, pleading with him 10 continue his cannery as the only enc that had given them chance to earn a decent ivcil- hood.
 Representative Free, Repub- lican, California, defended the shore canneries as having boen fair to native fishermen. He said he based his assertion on a two month personal Investigation of the situation.
 MT. Bradford also complained only big companies canning red salmon would know their plans far enough in advance to report December l.
