Quite often some one who is
aware that l have had fifteen years
of experience in the work of pred
atory animal control besides several
years of wolf trapping experience
in southeast Alaska, comes to me
with questions about wolves and
their habits.
There is a wide variance between
the actual habits of wolves and the
fairy stories that have grown up
about them and which have come
to be accepted as facts because they
have been repeated SO many years.
Knowing the characteristics OF
wolves as l do, knowledge gained
from many years spent on their
trail, l am convinced that because
L have never seen a certain thing
happen, it is in no wise sufficient
proof that that thing never did hap
pen but sometimes there are stories
told so preposterous and exactly
opposite to my observation that
unhesitatingly discount the state
ments.
Comparisons
In order that you may more fully
understand the various changes
that come over these animals in
the various parts of our country, |
shall attempt to give here little
comparison. For instance we will
take the little. cotton tail bunny
and compare him with the wolf and
note the different effects that eli
matte conditions have on him as to
the same effects on the wolf.
Now we shall go back to the Cen
tral States, in the good old State of
Indiana, where, when a boy l had
many merry chase after Bunny
Cotton-tail through the sugar Maple
groves. There Bunny is a sizeable
little animal. Travelling westward
to the state of Montana, we find the
same Bunny, although about one
third smaller and shade darker in
color. Then we will moye over into
eastern Oregon, there we still find
our little friend bunny the same
animal only about one-half the size
of his brother in Indiana and very
much darker gray in color. So much
for our little friend.
Arkansas Canebrakes
Now we shall move down into
the canebrakes of Arkansas, where
as a very ambitious and adventurous
young man, l took my first wild
goose chase some twenty-five or
thirty years ago. At that time the
Ntgger-wolf swamp as well as the
junction of the Black and White
rivers, was the home of few black
and grey timber wolves. There I
heard many scary tales of fierce
black wolves and devouring paint
Greats (the swamp mans handle
for panther.
must say lndl III no otneT 10
cality throughout the Central States,
have l ever known of their being
any black wolves, therefore 1 am
tempted to believe that those black
mucky swamps and heavy forests
had something to do with their
color.

Taxpayers League
Views City Problems
70 the Voters OF Wrangell:

TO the voters OF Wrangell;
During the month of March the
taxpayers of Wrangell will be called
upon to nominate candidates for
the various offices of Mayor, Coun-
ell, and School Board.
We understand that number of
the present office holders have
signified their intentions not to run
again this year. This we regret, but
as taxpayers wish to express our
thanks to them for their sincere
efforts ON behalf of the Town.
Ii ever the voters should exercise
every precaution in selecting candi-
dates best suited for these positions
it is now. Business men who are
taxpayers should not hesitate in
accepting any of the above positions
during the present emergency.
Due to the general depression the
economic situation in Wrangell is
very bad. Our per capita wealth has
been greatly reduced and our trade
balance is on the wrong side due to
low price of fish which is our princi-
pal export. Many of our citizens are
without proper food, clothing and
fuel. Many are unable to pay their
taxes, electric light and water rent.
Beside the school bond issue of
$4,000 the Town also owes $3.50
in red warrants which are payable
on demand and should be paid with
in the next two years. They have
been running since 1880 and early
1881 and were issued mostly to pay
oil bills and other expenses in con-
nection with the acquisition of the
light plant.
Under our present system we are
spending far too much for the ad-
ministration of our town business.
A large saving could be effected by
a more economical system. There
should also be a closer check kept
on every dollar spent by city en-
ployees and there should be a more
equitable distribution of the city's
purchases among the merchants.
sinking fund must be started at
once to provide for the retirement of
the school bonds which start ma
turing in 1885.
We feel that a closer cooperation
between the council and the school
board would inevitably result In
a considerable saving in the admin
istration of our public school.
We would favor requesting the
Interstate Power and Light Com
pany to drastically reduce the
monthly payments now being made
so that the light department could
temporarily reduce the light rate
during this emergency and thereby
enable everyone to make a fairer
distribution of the Family expenses
and also to permit many to enjoy
lights who cannot now do so because
of the high rates.
We feel that the council should
keep closely in touch with the fl
nancial condition of the Wrongell
General Hospital and give that in
stitution every assistance possible.
They should also cooperate with
the Red Cross and Salvation Army
and render these worthy bodies
every help possible in tightening the
suffering of the needy.
Family ties, cliQues, personal
friendships or animosities should be
forgotten and the voters should
unite in electing candidates who
will pledge themselves to carry out
the above much needed legislation.
Let us all take a greater interest
in our civic affairs. it will pay.
Yours faithfully,

WOLF TRAILS

Those wolves as we'll as the tim
Der wolves of Minnesota and Wis

the grey wolves farther west.
From Arkansas we will move
(mostly because they fed us on
corn dodger,l on out to the plains
OF western Kansas and Nebraska,
there we find tyears ago. the
prairie wolf which is the same ami
NAL as the western coyote but some
what smaller than the far western
coyote.
Moving on westward to Montana
ana wyoming, we find the grey
wolf, which is larger and heavier
built than our more eastern wolves.
This wolf ranges from the Cana
dian line to southern Texas and per-
haps farther, however that is far
enough to suit us. From here on to
the Pacific coast we will OCCASION
ally find both the wolf and coyote.
However 1 found very few wolves
in eastern Oregon at the time l was
there.
Hard Trip on Bunny
Now if you have followed me
closely-which no doubt has been
little difficult since my travels
nave been rather jumpy-you will
see that the farther west the small
er Bunny became no doubt it was
a hard trip on the little fellow.
While as we travel over practically
the same country the wolf changes
somewhat becoming larger as we go
westward, while one animal becomes
smaller with color variations, the
other becomes larger and also
changes somewhat in color.
In all of my fifteen or more years
spent in the western states, | never
saw or heard of black wolf near
where | was. The grey wolf out
here. is often very light gray.
While in the bad lands of Montana,
1 saw one snow white wolf. Up in
the Blue Mountains of eastern Ore
gon, l saw two very large snow
white wolves.

on up to Alaska, here we find both
black and gray wolves. Now l must
say that l find these wolves some
what different from those down in
the States.
True-characteristi they are
all wolves, many of their habits are
the same. Just the same as human
nature exists in people, likewise
does wolf nature exist in all wolves.
However some wolves, like people,
develop individual characters.
Up here in Southeastern Alaska.
l have found the wolves on Kup-
reanof island to be different from
the wolves on some of the other
islands.
The wolves on Kupreanof are all
very much alike, their color, size and
shape being very uniform. They re-
mind me of a bunch of thorough
bred dogs. They are gray with a
yellowish tinge and have dark
guard hairs along the back. They

Pull off all the gillss and break the body in several pieces. Remove all the bits of flesh found between the bones. This meat is very sweet and ten der. The. coral which Is the roe is used as garnish.
 DisjOiht Claws First.
 Break open the large claws, use ing a hammer or nut cracker. it's a good idea to disjoint the claws first, since this. makes 1t easier to remove the claw meat in whole pieces. There is a bony membrane through the center of the meat in the large claw which can be re- moved by cutting through the meat at the base. or joint and sitting lengthwise at the long side. :.
 Cut the shell from the small claws and remove this meat with a skewer or nut pick. Or leave the small claws whole and use them for garnishing.
 Chill the meat thoroughly be- fore using.

"I am developing fine lines about my eyes and nose. Friends tell me 1t is because I smile so often, and I suppose that is it--but what can I do about lines that are already there ?"-J. F., Virginia.
 "I don't mind laugh lines," and don't believe anyone else does either! After all, a frozen express there is this to be considered from the beauty viewpoint. Skin that is properly nourished Is supple enough to expand and contract in smile without wrinkling!
 This is the principle on which your daily beauty care is built. For example, you should use a cleans- ing cream with enough "body"~- such as a pasteurized cream-to protect the skin from drying out. Then follow this with 8 youthify- ing tissue cream, rich in lubricat- ing oils. which you will spread on evenly and then add an extra bit of 1t around the eyes and mouth. Leave this cream on as long as you can--overnight if possible. | An anti-wrinkle lotion Is a great
 help in smoothing out fine lines that already exist. You will find it a refreshing lotion to use. It is ex- cellent as 8 powder base, too.

Joseph, let the dog alone. How would you like to be leased the way you tease him?"
 T was just playing"
 We'll. think up some other way to play"
 So Joseph thought up another way.
 Little CarPs kiddy-car stood on the walk next door. Joseph went over, gave it a push and it rolled down the terrace. Carl began to cry.
 Baby! Can't you take little fun? Go and tell your mama. Cry baby cant take any fun"
 'Carl's mother came out. Pick up the car and bring it back, Jo- seph. It isn't nice to tease chfi- dren."
 T wasn't teasing" explained Joseph. T was just playing lit- tie joke on him."
 Practical Joking
 He went his way. He spotted a ball game and watched his chance. The ball went into some bushes; he found 1t and put 1t in his shirt. For half an hour the boys hunted, they gave up the game mad went home.
 On his own steps again Joseph Inspected the ball. When the last boy had left the plot he slipped back and dropped the. ball where he had found it. He didn't want it-all he wanted was to break up the game.
 Someone saw him. Then there was trouble.
 He was called everything from a murderer to baby-snatcher. But he just stood and grinned. "Aw, cant you take joke, he Such a fuss over a little ball!"
 And SO the boy spent his days getting his thrills over the dis comfort of others. When he grows up, if the practice continues, he will be known, very likely, by more sinister name.
 Break Teasing" Habit
 Too many practical jokers are real trouble makers at heart. Oc- casionally we find some who love fun for fun's sake, but when that fun causes real hurt or unhappi- ness to other people it earns an- other name.
 So often mother is inclined to think lightly of this teasing" trait in a child. Of course, we must not always take the pranks of children too seriously, but when a child becomes addicted to this unpleasant habit. something should be done about it.
 As rule it grows and changes character with the years. The de- sire to see other people unhappy is never admirable in either child or man.
 There is seldom anything fair or sporting in teaser. He won't have friends. The kindest thing we can dovfor him is to break him of the habit before it Is too late.

HOT BREAD FOR OLD MEALS

You'll relish your cold meals more if you have some piping hot mullins to accompany them. You can make "extra special" fruit mullins of your regular muffin re- cipe simply by adding some pitted and sliced pasteurized dates to it, If you want brand new muffin recipe, you will enjoy:

Style Chats

Gentlemen no longer need be paddock loungers or know a jockey in order to wear racetrack clothes. A boatload of marvellous English tweed and cashmere checks backed up to one of New York's piers and half the well-dressed men in the East nabbed the leather-buttoned sports jackets made from them. But they're wearing them around beaches instead of stables. and playing them deuces wild-that is, with any kind of pantz under the sun. Wyllys Rossiter Bets loiters around Syossett in checks, Howard Cushing covers Newport. Harry Archer, Westport. and Jackson Stark casuals around Southampton. Grant Mills, "Once-in-a Lifetime" actor, carries his checks in his pantz like Hollywood, and Allan Tower, another theaterite who knows his fiannels sponsors white sweaters with checked coats, or green sweater with tiger-eye cash mere coat and checked pantz. Now I trust Allah will forgive me for encouraging men in their vanity.

 Paris, (UP)-It's all very well to talk at length about what Madame la Princess This or That" is wearing and what Her Highness These or Those" has selected for the season Here or There, but what about sim pie you and me; what are we going to do about our wardrobe after all, we have to count for something in this fracas called
 And we do count for some- thing, because we in the "happy medium" class show the world tendencies in all directions. Take this particular season, for instance we are wearing printed silks and being very lovely in them those chalk prints of Schiaparelli; those soft, flimsy things from Patou; those bil- lowy, ladylike. discriminating afternoon gowns from Molly neux: and those highly desir- able individually woven fabrics from Chanel that make us have all the glamor that the glossy paged magazines give to their mannequins.
 As to colors, we, who make the backdrop of fashions year in and year out, are wearing navy blue with touches of red and white, green and beige, pink and yellow. Colored accessories in these shades against our back ground of navy blue are intriguing and extend the livelihood of our "fundamentals" to no end, for the same basic costume, with the ad- alton to collars and cuffs, applied front" and belt, pocketbook, shoes gloves and hat, make all the dif- ference in the world.
