Just Another Dinner

ME result Of this was the regu-
Il lar combination dinner. No. 3.
with the tongue and spinach. which.
with tips for the waiter and the
girl at the hat-rack ran my bill I'D
to nigh on to So. I doubt that the
government got more than a couple
OF cents, if that, out of my dry
martini. Can this be a plot to sell
tongue and spinach?
i claim that in this case. the
regulations prevented me from put
ting forth my best efforts and the
price and difficulties set me to
wondering whether the repeal had
not been nothing but a scheme of
the prohibitionists to make the
country dry.
L am told that in Chicago they
have high-chair drinking at long
counters which are not called bars
but that if a customer. shall reach
down and straighten out one leg he
is deemed not to be sitting and
therefore to be standing and thus
a disorderly character. This kind
OF tnlng Is going to clutter up the
sport and I wonder whoever asked
Tor such regulations, anyway. I am
certain the drinking citizens did
not and they are the ones who will
be in there taking it for the dear
old treasury.
1t seems that Mr.. Mulrooney. who
is helping to make the rules in New
York, is the one who opposes upright
drinking, although Mr.. Mulroonev
never took drink in his life. Well
his selection is consistent, anyway.
They usually try to get at least one
tailor on a prizefight commission
and ambassadors often are selected
for the fact that they do not know
anything about the countries to
which they are appointed and there
fore are open-minded. But It would
be cheering to the boys and girls
who are going to do the drinking
to be told that the Governor had
appointed to the commission at
least one old soak.

Prisoner
BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK

By HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK
Again am prisoner.
Again I am caught.
Meshed in clinging fabric
Grave Autumn has wrought.
Bound just as securely
As lover to love.
To brown earth beneath me:
To steep sky above.
Chain-bound by a thistle;
Sealed with winds sigh.
You dare not release me.
With beauty I die

So They Say

The ladies may take pleasure in

Change the Rules

T AM inclined to suspect that the
l. football rules committee might
have had hand in the drafting of
some of the rules. particularly the
one which fOrbids the citizen to ab-
Sorb drink while he is in an up
right position. This one reminds
me of the rule which declares the
ball to have been downed if the
carriers knee or elbow touches the
ground A carrier who is a great
natural creeper is thus discrimi-
mated against.
Many a great natural bar drinker
will be relegated to the scrub and
his contribution to the treasury will
be forbidden if he is required to
drink in a sitting position. Per-
mitted to stand up to his drinks
long enough the best of bar drink
erS will come upon a time when he
will find himself horizontal, which
is an attitude that should suit the
most conservative.
My own experience to date has
beeen discOuraging. With half an
hour to idle away visited a hotel
and looked and shifted about for
the location of the drinking depart
ment but presently had TO inquire
OF a bell-boy who pointed to the
grill-room. At the door of the grill
room I checked my hat and coat
and was taken up by a captain of
walters who showed me to a table.
A bus-bOy then appeared and laid
place for me. There were a knife.
fork, two spoons and butter-knife.
a plate, bread plate and butter-dish.
napkin and the customary glass
bullets of salt and pepper and a
glass of water.
The waiter then came over and I
said Bring me a dry martini"
Yes" he said "and then?"

It's the easiest thing in the world
to found some kind Of club or lodge
or movement, but it is practically
impossible to end it. Organizations
may dwindle in membership, decline
in interest or even die slowly of
inertia, but they never disband. So
long as anybody can be found to
serve as president, they go on-ob-
scure. feeble, accomplishing moth
ing, with collections and dues as
their only activity.

Fair
Enough
by wEsTBRoaK PEGLEI

A GREAT many worthy citizens
IA who desire to drink their coun-
~ out of the red are being ham
pered in the performance of this
patriotic service by the official rules
and I have been wondering when
the authorities are going 70 give the
game back to the boys. After all. it
IS the boys and girls who are going
10 play this game and it was my
impression that prohibition was re-
pealed in response to a great popu-
lar demand that the citizens be al
lowed to drink alcoholic beverages.
Mr.. Roosevelt contributed the
alma mater motive when he pointed
out that a drink for personal pleas
ure was also drink to the pros
perity of the United States treas
Try. I got the idea at once. It is
-Omewhat the same in football
where a man who scores a touch
down not only acquires glory for
himself but for his team and dear
old SiwaSh. 1t is true that in the
game of football players often feel
called upon to continue playing long
after it has ceased to be a pleasure
and begun to hurt and think the
same enthusiasm can be expected of
some of the better varsity drinkers
if the rules are ever relaxed suf-
ficiently.
But up to this time the patriots
who would like to indulge in some
real competitive drinking have been
restricted to skull practice and
dummy scrimmage and if things do
not improve I am afraid many of
us will turn in our suits and 60
back to informal, sand-lot drinking.
We get action there. anyway. even
though the higher motive was lack
ing.

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Nov. "a
uN.S).-Another weird chapter
IN the life of the Baroness Eloissa
Bousquet De Wagner, self-styled
"Queen of the Galapagos" came
to light here today with the reve'
1ation that she and her lawless
band of courtiers cast away in
0 small boat a pair of young
newlyweds who sought refuge on
her island after a shipwreck.
The victims we're Pablo Rolando,
Of the town of Esmeraldas. and
his bride, the former Blanca
Rosa Fernandez.
Picked Up At Sea
They drifted for several days
In an open boat, and were finally
picked up by the clipper ship
Fortune, bound to Ecuador from
the Galapagos Islands.
The baroness decree banishing
them to the mercy of the sea
was the first heard OF this
extraordinary woman since the
disclosure some months ago that
she had set herself up as queen"
OF Floreana Island, one OF the
sparsely inhabited territories IN
the Galapagos group.
Pablo Rolando and his VIE
were passengers on a honeymoon
trip aboard the sailing yacht
Santa Rosa. Several miles OIL
the Galapagos Islands, the vessel
was overtaken by a storm, and
al aboard took to the boats.
Thrown Into Jail
The five survivors were taken
before the baroness after being
bound hand and foot, and were
thrown into prison.
For three days they were held
and then hailed again before the
ruler of the island. She told them
she neither was able nor desired
to offer them hospitality and sug-
gested that all depart instantly
for some other port.
The queen commanded that the
Seamen travel in one boat and the
newlyweds in another.
She explained with a laugh that
this would afford the honeymoon.
ing couple a better opportunity
for romance. So that nothing
might interfere with love-making,
she added, she deprived them Of
food and water and ordered them
set adrift with but one oar.
Wife Attacked
Far of fthe coast, the sailors
rowed abreast of Rolando's craft
and attempted to throw the hus-
band overheard and attack his
wife. Rolando drew pistol and
fired into the midst of the at
tackers. All three fell into the
sea and the couple resumed their
voyage alone.
It was several days later that
the ship Fortune happened across
their path and rescued the couple,
suffering from exhaustion and ex
posure and on the verge of star
walton.

HOG DEAL COST
j. s. S1,200,000

Uncle Sans little experiment in
buying pork for distribution to the
needy cost him just $1,000
more than was necessary.
This has been admitted by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, who stated that the Gov
eminent paid Sc a hundredweight
for 300, 900 hogs. After contracts
had been awarded, market prices
fell to $500 per hundredweight.
The difference between the $3.50
packers paid to farmers, and the
So they received from the Federal
funds, represented a pure profit Of
$1,200,000 to the packers.
To prevent this occurrence in
the future, Federal contracts for
purchase of such relief supplies
will be awarded on a "cost-plus"
basis, Wallace said. Packers will
bid only on the amount Of profit
they will take over and above pre-.
Vailing market prices.

CONSIDERATION IS ASKED FOR "FARTHEST NORTH" COLLEGE
 Continued from Page One)

The Smith-Lever Act provides funds for cooperative extension work in agriculture and home economics.
 Located in a section of Alaska where mining operations are being conducted on large scale the stu dent in the School of Mines has the unusual advantage of being able to combine theoretical train ing in the classroom with practical work in the field.
 It isnot always easy to decide in favor of efficiency. Sometimes even in Alaska it is difficult to understand that all that glitters is not gold. It is believed that those who enter college for the first time will find the small institution of special advantage. To be well known both by students and profess sors is a safeguard worth con- sidering during the first two years of college life when the foundation of a career is being established.
 In this day of financial stress it is exceedingly important that all of us undertake to eliminate ex- travagance and for the dollar ex- pended secure a dollars worth of value. The Alaska College has re- duced the cost of years work at the College to a minimum. There is no tuition. Board and room have been reduced from $55 to $50 per month. Books and supplies are sold at practically laid down wholesale
 ost. Young men and women who attend this institution have no occasion to throw away money. It is not in good form and there are no expensive traditions Then, too, the Alaska Steamship Company and the Alaska Railroad sell to the student attending the college a round trip ticket for single fare. They are making Interior Alaska close to the coast, both in time and cost.
 Alaska needs its own young men and women to build this Empire of the North. Its broad expanses. it's unlimited resources, its stra- tegic position with reference to the Orient both by land and air, to Nations greatest natural scenic playground, it's unexplored valleys, it's unfrequented ranges present

ALL-ALASKA REVIEW

The teachers, Samuel Anaruk and his daughter. Sophie, who have been Diomede teachers for the past four years, lost all their personal effects. The origin of the fire is unknown. School was established on the island in 1907. Enrolment last year was 42. Population of the village is 40. The news was brought across Boring Strait over the ice to Wales by natives and brought to Nome by plane. Need of radio communication with such isolated stations is emphasized by this event.

A group of thirteen young men from Honolulu arrived in Dawson recently, coming in five small boats They left Vancouver B. C., on June It, and journeyed up the coast, where they got their first view of British Columbia and Alaska, and incidentally-for some of them their first glimpse of snow. Upon arriving at Whitehorse they built a boat about twenty-two feet long, and, with the four smaller boats used by a similar group last sum- mer, made the trip to Dawson. They spent two days at Eelwyn Creek prospecting but found no nuggets or anything that looked like gold. It took them twelve days to reach Dawson,- and they expect to spend about twenty-two more days on the Yukon. They have an outboard motor and, it possible, they will travel by small boat all 1he way to Fairbanks.

old school age limit save the schools from excessive
economy drives fix minimum wages and maximum
hours for child workers, and abolish sweatshops.
This week might be called Old Folks Security
week For it is the occasion of nationwide appeal
broadcast by the Association for Old Age Security
to save the aged poor from attacks on od-age pen
sion systems in some seventeen states.
number of Governors forgetting that pensions
are cheaper than poorhouse relief are trying to
pinch few dollars from their budgets by cutting
pension allowances and increasing the age limits
for benefciaries.
The wiser Governors of Michigan, Rhode Island,

Delaware are urging immediate passage of pensions
for the aged poor
It's innocent young men and helpless aged
are the first charges upon Americas conscience and
purse-strings BY wiping out child labor, the states
can create 20O0000 jobs for family heads and relieve
themselves of costly doles. BY pensoning all the
needy aged over 65 they relieve themselves of
doles of 100000 more.
These steps might tighten the national relief load
They would start us toward the goal of happy
American youth and IAN old age serene and bright"
Let us take these 100000 children out of facto-
ries mills, mines and sweatshops and send them
back TO school. And let us take the 100000 aged
poor out of wretched poorhouses and give them Sc
curity through pensions-whch actually cost the
taxpayer less.

congress lacks the courage to move faster than
uniformed public opinion. That may sound 1ogi-
cal but We challenge its accuracy.
We should Ike to see proof that ma
torty Of the country is opposed to debt negotiations
AS matter of fact, all signs indicate that a
great majority favors debt negotiations. There have
been repeated statements reflecting that attitude
from farmers. liberal labor groups college pro-
fessors church and peace organizations, women's
clubs professional societies. and business organiza-
tons.
In referendum the United States Chamber of
Commerce Just has voted 10 to / in favor of a
moratorium and of congressional authorization for
negotiation of modified agreement that will pro-
mote the best interests of the United States upon
a debtor country showing material changes in the
basis Of its existing debt agreement"
BY an almost equally large vote the chamber
made trade concessions or reduction the con-
dition for granting such debt reductions.
This 13 to l is stupendous majority of BUSH
ness men. But there is no reason to believe that
the majority for debt negotiations is any less sweep
ing among other groups newspapers, and public
opinion generally.
