Dance Group in
Outdoor Recital

The summer festival program
last evening at the Sylvan The
ater attracted a huge crowd of
interested spectators. Sponsored
by Senator and Mrs. William
King and presented under the
auspices of the Community Gen.
ter department, a delightful pro-
gram of dance and music un-
folded at the open-air stadium.
The United States Army Band
preceded the dance with a half
hour of impressive music.
Marian Chace and Lester Sha-
fer and a dance group followed
with a varied repertoire of terp-
sichorean novelties. Miss Chace
in "Salome" and May Night"
and Mr.. Shafer in "Marche" and
Bubble Land" were delightful.
Several effective numbers in
which the chorus assisted we're
we'll executed. Amalie Preische
should also be complimented on
"Pasquinade," an excellent solo
number.
The selection of dances was
especially varied and devised to
satisfy cosmopolitan audience.
Particular]- notable was the final
ensemble, a scarf and balloon
dance, both being colorful and in
tricate.

BY way of encouragement,
you hypoch ondriacS might take
the case of Joseph Knapp who,
some As years ago, applied to
the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company for a policy and
was rejected because he was an
unsafe risk. What piqued the
chap, especially, was that his
father, John Knapp, was at
that time president of the COM
pany. The senior Knapp has
passed away. The physician
who examined Joseph Knapp
is dead. Not a single member
of the board at the time is
alive. But Joseph Knapp is
alive and healthy-and a lead
ing director of the company.
Which reminds me of the time,
IA years ago, when a Brook
lyn physician examined me and
warned me that il I didn't quit
work at )nce, I would be dead
within six months or sooner.
No work for a year, he Iarned
me. So I begged a two weeks
vacation, went up to Ellinville,
N. Y, climbed a few hills and
drank three buckets of spring
water. Returning to town, I
decided to go back to the phySi-
clan for another examination,
only to learn that he had died
suddenly three days previously.

WHAT RECENT LEGISLA-
 TURF. ACCOMPLISHED ANDs~.
 WHAT IT DID NOT DO
By Mildred R. Hermann, Legislative Clerk of Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs, reprinted from
 the Alaska Press, Juneau.l

And now that the tumult. and shout, ing has died and we have been told editorially and otherwise whata whiz editorially and otherwise what whale ture at this session, and what wisdom and vision-or what have you-they have shown in the exercise of their legislative powers, it seems to be in dicated that some one should present summary of just what the Legisla- ture. really accomplished and what it did not do. And this we shall try to do.
 It passed, we admits some l27 laws. Of these, 84 originated in the Senate, 43 in the House. A goodly number of resolutions and memorials also pass ed, some of them of unquestioned merit, though it is exceedingly doubt full if Congress or anyone else to whom they were addressed will ever take much notice of them. It will be an innovation certainly if it hap pens. otherwise. Among the bills passed were about 43 which repealed certain laws that have become obso- lete or inapplicahle through changing conditions within and. without the Territory. They had become just dead timber, that encumbered the statute books, though they were doing no particular harm, Their re- peal was merely routipa, work, which followed naturally in, the wage of the codifcation of the Sessien. Laws of Alaska, which has been carried out since the termination of the 1881 ses- sion. under the direction of Henry Roden. MT. Roden suggested many of the repeals, wrote most of the bills himself. They were passed without comment, and their passage was no tribute to the wisdom of any man, unless it was MT. Roden.
 It. passed a large number of bills of minor or no importance. The really important bills which it passed were were really very few indeed. Among them. was the bill repeating the Alasl ka Bone Dry Law. And it might be noted here that the authorities in charge of the enforcement of law

 any legislation comes up that is in- tended to protect the defenseless and helpless of the Territory that this Legislature takes pleasure in killing it. And when we have measures for consideration that. affect those who have money enough to pay their way to Juneau, or to hire lawyers to help them evade taxation you are glad to pass what they wish" It is further significant that, following Mir. Ner- lands statement, one of the members who had voted against the measure. moved for reconsideration of his vote and this bill was subsequently, saved.
 However, it was only one of two measures of that nature that did not fali before the ax in one or the other house. For, if there is any outstand- ing attribute of the 11th session of the Alaska Legislature it is that 1t was absolutely, entirely, completely and unequivocaly against legislation that was of protective nature. A summary of the bills that failed to pass should demonstrate this fact to any person who wishes to face the facts as they actually exist.
 s The Legislature defeated two ef- forts to amend the workman's. cem- pensation act in such fashion as would make it unnecessary for en- ployes to discriminate against Amer ican citizens as matter of business policy. One of these originated in the House, and was, lost there by a vote of 9-7; the other originated in the Senate and was lost by vote of so. A bill that would have declared 8 two-year moratorium on mortgages wa salso lost.
 :. The community property bill, de- signed to protect the rights of the wife in property acquired after mar riage. was killed by indefinite post ponement. Two bills, which, would have given ilegitimate children in- heritance rights in the estates of their fathers. a part of the legislative pro- gram sponsored by the. American Le- gio nchild welfare committee, one of these being g uniform statute that has been passed by practically every State in the Union, were aso ilndefi-- nitey postponed. Shattuck's bill that that would have created tax com mission to revise our present tax laws which came into being before the spectacular stock market crash, was lost somewhere in the shuffle.

Children Who Lost
Toys in Fire to

Two thousand youngsters who
lost their toys in the recent de-
vastating fires in Auburn and
Ellsworth, Me-, last month, will
think Christmas comes twice a
year when they receive new toys
from members of the Junior Red
Cross next week.
Members from six States and
the District of Columbia have
either made the toys themselves
or contributed money for pur-
chasing new ones.
The Red Cross has rebuilt and
furnished homes for 500 families
made destitute by the fire.
