Dangers at Home.
Manchester Guardian )
Of late.

National Safety Congress has been this week meeting in London. It is hard to imagine such a meeting taking place in any other age No doubt bodies with a similar name have met before, not ably during the French Revolution. But if they made life moderately safe for some of their mem bers they were apt to make it highly unsafe for quite number of other people. The world, indeed. has been too full till very recently of greater pers plague, famine, and the sword-for to con- Sider too narrowly the smaller ills It is hard to picture the Elizabethans gathering gravely to dis cuss taking the perous edge off furniture. They might not have thought it worth while. Yet if it IS now thought possible in our still not completely foolproof world to start organizing security it is perhaps not a bad thing to start furniture. National safety begins in the home it should do What else does the word mean if not safety? But apparently, so Miss Margaret Bondfeld showed, our homes are more dangerous than roads. And this ignores Mark Twain's calculation that bed is the most dangerous place of all. Injuries in the home last year accounted for 5000 deaths. More than four hundred women alone were killed by falling downstairs. So the swift menace of the highway is rivaled by stairs, ill-contrived furniture, and buckets left in dark corners Plainly some of all this can and should, be remeded No doubt we cannot. yet dispense with buckets. No doubt, also people will always exist who must leave them for others GOT even themseves) to fall over. Nevertheless there is question that many of our homes are not well planned furniture and tools so convenient or so safe as they might be. In spite of all that has been done, the ideal home--at a price most of affords still to seek. May we hope that with the growing num- Der of women architects shall see nearer ap- proach towards it?

BUREAUS AND THE REMEDY.

There is a tendency among Alaskans to concen- trate too much opposition bureaus and not enough to the support Of complete Territorial and local self f-government As long the powers of government remain in the National Government That must be so for Congress cannot function Territorial Legislature and County Commissioners without the assistance of bureaus Even Terri torial government with Legislature to the entire Territory must be aided by agents that are far removed from the people. In order to get real self-government there must be sort of County or District governments. The municipal governments help the situation some, but there are many things that are of local concern where it is essential to exercise local control beyond municipal limits.
 AS a whole the bureaus that are operating in Alaska doing the best they do under the laws and distant executives that control them Time has proved that Alaska troubles have not been due to the personnel of the public service. The diff culties lie deeper It all depends upon who makes the laws and controls the natural resources The important thing is who has the last word. There a time when some people thought our troubles would be over if a few of the ministerial officials made elective by Alaskans That was tried but it has not reached the source of the trouble The elective officials cannot cover the details of government throughout Territory of nearly 100000 square miles and provide self-gov- ernment to the people. That cannot be done with out local organizations The remedy for Alaska is full Territorial government. Otherwise we shall have bureaus or other nonresident agencies from Washington Juneau, some other place.

CHAPTER 36.
 BLACKMAIL?

Because he's the Old Man!" Georgie's laugh was curt, as her voice. "fIe never actually accused me of selling those figures to the Gortenx crowd, so he feels he needn't apologize. But he wants me to know I'm vindicated, all the same"
 T do not like him so much" said Jenny softly. "Is he very i'll? After I left he was going to see some doctors"
 He's been i'll for years, off and on, but that won't stop him living forever if he wants to, the old beast!" Georgie's manner was ab- strated Look here, kiddie, I'm going to send you home in a taxi. You're not fit to go on foot. And when I get in-I don't expect to be late-Ill come to see If you're all right. . It'll be like old times just you and me"
 NO" said Jenny unexpectedly Tt won't be like old times. Don't let's pretend it will. I went to Mrs. Bigger's on my way to Ro- chester Gate and Eddie has gone 7
 Where to?"
 She thinks to the airfield, but she's not sure. He left word that he would write. To me. I'll go now, Georgie dear I hope you'll enjoy your chop"

to tell old Matching that you mar ried Townsend? That's not very intelligent of you. You evidently have courage, but not intelligence. !"
 Georgie waved away the waiter. When he was once more out of hearing, she said:
 T can't give anything but mon- ey."
 Cant you?"
 Georgie pulse began to race. She waited.
 Money isn't of so much use in the end, Mrs. Townsend-I beg your pardon-Miss F0evell. Money is only an end in itself. I'll nev- CT ask for money fl I could have information"
 Information"
 "1'd refuse five thousand if thought could find out what the estimate was that old Matching sent by air Townsend took the document, you'll remember. And you'll remember, too, what the fi- gures were. Well?"
 "Well?" repeated Tallas after q long, strange silence. What were those figures that Townsend took?"
 Georgie stared down into her bag. She had left it open-not because she had any hope that the man would accept her money after all. Just because it so happened that, as she sat, she started down on her weekly check and her wedding ring; and it seemed so significant that just at this moment they should be together in the little leather compartment. The ring, certainly, was inside the lining

Relief Work, Not Charity, for Cordova.
(Cordova Times.)

The work of aiding those in need of relief in ing the past year by the various civic and fraternal organizations through the directing head of the Gen. tral Relief Committee, and this committee will continue it's work for the present and future.
 That those who find it necessary to call upon this committee may do with full understanding of the work being done, however, and that the world at large may know that Cordovans seek no charity and accept no charity, it is well at this time to restate the precepts on which this work has been instituted and is being conducted
 Cordova offers dole for the idle no gifts for the able no help to those who can and will not help themselves.
 For those to whom the world has been most harsh, who in the infirmity of age or the blight Iof illness can longer bear the yoke of labor the heart of Cordova will provide succor-but this is the creed of humanity, not the dry crusts of charity
 But for those who are sound of body and for the moment victims of conditions which they can- not control, whose strong and idle hands are Iyearning for the good feel of honest toi whose beings cringe humiliated at having to ask for help work will be given-work of kind enough for Isustenance, enough to keep the proud spirit un- broken and the flesh unwanting.
 And this carries with it stigma no taint and no disgrace. It serves to establish confidence of man in himself; it carries him until he is able to better himself This is the work that the Coroova Central Relief Committee has been doing in the past and will continue to do in the future

Georgie bit her lip as the slen- der figure vanished. She tele- phoned for a taxi for Mrs. Town send" and then, as an afterthought, for another for herself The chop was to be eaten at seven in a se- cluded city grillroom, and she wanted to be early. Her host was Dr. Leslie Tallas.
 AS she made ready to leave the building she thought of the way his voice had come over the phone You'll come, won't you? really think you must come. By the way, how is your cousins husband. Townsend? By an odd chance I came across a chap who's clerk at the City Hall, where they were married. Talkative sort of chap.
 -. Shall we say seven? Some where quiet? I'm a talkative sort of a chap, too, you see, and I've got one or two things to say"
 Georgie frowned. Fear and hat red were in her heart. Squaring people like Gill and Mrs. Bigger was one thing = that significant voice out of the air was quite another. Blackmail, no less. And, with those narrowest eyes and thin mouth. Tallas would set a heavy price.
 Absorbed in her thoughts, she went down to the taxi and was driven downtown. The grillroom was certainly secluded It held no one she knew She thought she would choose a table not too much in corner-and then she found that, early as she was, Tallas was earlier. He was standing

THE ROOSEVELT MEDAL.

Robert A. Millikan will receive the Roosevelt Medal this year for distinguished service in the field of science, according to announcement made recently by James R. Garfield, President of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. It has been the custom of the Association hitherto to award three medals annually. Only award, however, has been made this year.
 The medal will be bestowed by the President of the Association at a banquet at Roosevelt House, the Roosevelt birthplace at 2S East 2Oth Street New York on October 27 the seventy fourth niversary of President Roosevelt's birth
 The Roosevelt Medal, which is three inches in diameter and of solid gold shows one side a head of Theodore Roosevelt and on the other a flaming sword with the motto If I must choose between righteousness and peace choose righteous ness" It designed by James Earle Fraser
 The committee whose recommendations the Trustees of the Association made the award consists of the following: Mrs Grant La Farge Chairman; Dr Alexander Lambert Guy Murchie, Albert Shaw, E. A. Van valkenburg William Allen White Owen Mister.
 Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan is recognized by authoritative minds in this country and abroad as of Americas most distinguished scientists. His researches in the field of electricity have been epoch making He was the first to isolate the ultimate electrical unit the electron and measure its charge establishing of the basic facts of nature, a quantity second only to the velocity of light fundamental constant and essential in calcula- tions of content and space in the infinitesimal world of the moecule and the atom For this work Dr. Millikan received the Nobel prize for physics in 1923 His measurement of the speed of electrons in photo-eectric cells acknowledged gratefully" by Dr. Albert Ensten for the conclusive proof which it offered that the emission of elec- irons from solid bodies under the influence of light is associated with definite period of vibra- tion of the light itself" The discovery of the "cosmic rays and the presentation of evidence that these rays come from outside the earth has been an achievement equally brilliant
 Dr. Millkan born in Illinois in 1868. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1891 received the degree of PhD. from Columbia in 1895 and for twenty-five years taught at the University of Chi cago. Since 1921 he has been the head of the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena
 Dr. Mikan combines in a striking degree the qualities of a scientist, administrator teacher philosopher and a public servant, high-spirited disinterested and eloquent. He has taken leading part in the activities of American scientific organi- ations and in the affairs of his own community and has stimulated international cooperation on scientific problems.

smiling, by a table in the most secluded corner of all.
 She studied him as they sat down and discussed their dinner. He had the small eyes and the mean mouth of her recollection, and he looked worn and shabby as well.
 Do you want to see me on a matter of business??" she demand ed as soon as the waiter had left them.
 You can call it business His hands worked nervously.
 Then you'll please let me pay my own bill" announced Georgie, calmly. Its a rule I made years ago, and pretty well, the cT..y one I've kept"
 "Oh, but, really"
 Before we've got to our coffee may not want to be under an obligation to you
 Perhaps not" smiled Tallas. He paused, then added. But long before the coffee you'll find you can't afford to quarrel with me"
 The waiter came back, and they began to eat Georgie found that she was hungry, opposition always stimulated her and this seedy creature was, it seemed, not an enemy to be afraid of. He would demand more than she gave Gill, but not more than she could af- ford. But she must be bold and firm.
 She finished her chop and mo- ticed that he had hardly touched his. Opening her bag, she asked, without any preliminary:
 Well, let's get on with it! How much?"
 He gulped, gasped and took some minutes to recover. Then, to her renewed dismay, he smiled again and shook his head.

hidden there after the ceremony, but the outline of it was clearly visible. And the check was out side the lining, very crisp and clear.
 "WellP" snapped Tallas. He sounded extremely nervous, but she knew that he would not yield an inch of his advantage. T may say that I don't intend to wait about while you make up your mind. l mean, I'm not going to give you three days or three weeks, or even three hours. I want that lnfor- nation here and now or we'll go straight. away to Matching and tell. him all about last Saturday. No good saying that if I do that, I'm killing the goose that lays the gold en eggs-T'll kill it, all right, and you and that little baggage of a cousin of youls can learn to be more civil in your manner to mere strangers.
 And no good saying that Match ing probably knows, already, be- cause I'll give the news to the press and he'll have to take mo- tice of it, then. And"

 Chairman OConnor of the Shipping Board says to the Merchant Marine Committee of Congress-
 People have told that they would
 rather travel on foreign lines where they
 did not feel they breaking the law
 when they bought and drank liquor.
 OConnor- -me-ad, they were only kidding VOL The people who travel on foreign lines in order to drink make bones whatever about drinking in their home towns Breaking the Prohibition law is all applesauce to them.
 The Prohibition law has fallen into such wide spread contempt and is violated so universally and so naturally and so matter of -factly that anyone who wanted glass of beer and got it and then worried about having broken the law belongs in a museum.
 Those people travel on foreign lines because they get bigger and finer assortment of drinks and they don't have to keep the bottle under the table
