The Dizzy Dean of the gridirons, if our scouts report the situation accurately seems to have bcooed Up at Fordham in the peppery person of Freddie Harlow, scpho- more quarterback and loud one. He's from New England obtain ing his prep football training at Hebron Academy He's full of chatter whether there are newspa- permen around the Fordham prem li9es or not. As Harry Nash of the New York Evening Post related one typical incident, Harlow inquired whether the iron major, Frank Cavenaugh, had any objections to catching punts enchanted and then expounded:
 Well, you see, Babe Ruth is about through and New York must have hero. And that hero is go- ing to be Freddie Harlow the old Hebron academy kid himself Imag- inc me out there is a Fordllam N. Y. U game with 75000 specta- tors yelling. A punt comes down my alley and everybody in the stands starts to yellow, 'Attaboy, Freddie"
 Now, the worst thing a fellow can do is high-hat his public. They'll be up there waving at me. So I'll have to coach the punt with my left hand and wave back at them with my right. You don't think that will make the coach sore, do you?"

DIXIE STARING R0D;SYSTEM OF
 HONOR IS USED
Some States Have Whip ping Post to Curb
 Unruly Prisoners

I ATLANTA, Ga Oct. 25.-Dixie is sparing the lash and substituting the honor system to prevent spoil ing it's convicts.
 Prison commissions over all the South say whipping the unruly is being abandoned, either as a result of legislation or voluntary action on the part of officials, because re- ward of good behavior has been found a better means of keeping order.
 In extreme cases half a dozen States still thrash prisoners for misconduct, but the whippings are few. Moth Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida have abolished the law by statute.
 Sweatbox
 Florida uses the sweatbox, tiny cell of solitary confinement in which the prison is unable to lie down, to punish it's unruly but this may be discarded following the re- cent expose. Georgia uses stocks, while the Carolinas use solitary confinement with a bread and water diet.
 Tennessee permits ten licks with strap or short periods of solitary confinement for aggravated offens- es. Alabama prisoners may be strapped and Louisiana uses the lash. Mississippi likewise provides for whipping her convicts for in- fractions.
 Thrashings Kept Down
 But State prison officials say honor systems are keeping thrash ings at minimum.
 In Virginia, application must be made to the Penitentiary Superin- tendent before a prisoner can be whipped and he must be examined both before and after punishment by a physician.
 Withdrawal of privileges and de motion from honor classes with loss of time for good behavior are most frequently used to punish prisoners.

TRAILS AND ROADS

For a long time past there has been desire upon the part of Alaskans that provision be made for the construction of trails as we'll as roads in the National Forests of the Territory. Hereto fore the annual average appro- priation for forest roads has been about half a million doi- lars, altho this sum has been re- duced in the budget for next year to $350,000. In many in- stances the construction o f trails is necessary before the building of roads, as trails are the first line of travel. In order that the bureau may expend such sums as may seem advis- able for trails Delegate Wicker
 sham has introduced H. R. 9069
 9 bill to allow the appropriation to be expended for either trails CT roads. Secretary of Agricul- t,lre Hyde has been consulted about this measure and he re- commends it in the folloWing expression: Such change would be in the interest of both efficiency and economy. It would result in furnishing low-cost transportation to pioneer re- gions where the uncertainty ol future needs do not seem as yet to justify a road. Frequently a trail in Alaska will be all that ;s ever needed. In such cases the saving between trail costs and

This was done and the amended bill, H. R. 8765 was approved by the Committee on Labor Feb. 5, and favorably recommended for passage. It is now on the House calendar and an effort is making by interest cd organizations throughout the United States-a nd Alaska should take similar action-to impress Congress with the ne cessity for this relief measure If it passes the Government would provide to the States or Territories one-third of the sum paid to residents siXty-five years old or over when the payment is not in excess of $1 per day.

NATIONAL PARK EXTENSION

Delegate Wickersham's bill to extend the boundaries of the Mount Mckinley National Park has been approved by the Sec retary of the Interior. The Dele gate added an amendment to protect locations already made within the added area and after a few corrections in description, the bill was approved by the Committee on Public Lands. Under the bill the east side ex- tension from Windy Creek north brings the park boundary to the right-of- Away of the Alaska Rail- road and takes in few isolated tracts lying east of the railroad and the west bank of the Mama la river, the latter being a na- tUral boundary line for the park The Park Service already main tains roads and trails within this area and a new hotel will later be erected near the rail- road. The proposed extension to the northwest will bring Wonder Lake into the Park, and thus accord another hotel-lodge de- velopment and a finer view of Mount Mckinley than any now had in the park. With the open ing of this region it would be a comparatively simple matter for the Territory to connect up with the Kantishna district, making that region accessible.
