Like singing" interrupted Peter
slyly.
That's it," cried Johnny. That's
it, I want to sing and you want to
kick up your heels and dance and We
are both silly and for the same reason.
Which is?" asked Peter.
"To let others know how good we

Peter took it that he was doing. Peter
began to chuckle. The idea of Johnny
Church even thinking he could sing
tickled Peter. His chuckle was broken
off by a sharp whistle. Johnny Chuck
had taken to his heels. Peter did the
same thing. That was Johnny's alarm
whistle. In the distance Peter caught
glimpse of something red. He guessed
it was the coat of Reddy Fox.

Producing a Legible Signature
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

! Try to have all letters slant in a
parallel way. whether back-hand. for
ward or upright. See that they are
firmly set, not uncertainty. The stroke
may be broad, as is usual with a
stub pen, or delicate, as is equally usual
with fine pen. But it is not a matter
of size of stroke, but of certainty, OF
precision. A wavering handwriting in
dicates fear. weakness or frailty. A slck
or aged person whose strength Is small
can not avoid uncertainty of line. The
well and strong should not show signs
of weakness in signatures and most
assuredly one does not wish to betray
weakness of character in his very hand
writing.
Try to make an attractive signature
Of the letters and words comprising
your name. 1t no longer requires -four
ishes, as in old-time beautiful writing
of names. FlourisheS are out of style.
Legibility, fine formation of letters and
words, and good spacing of words are
criterions of fine signatures. Children
learn to write. but it is adults who per-
feet their own signatures. Banks and
other firms with which you do constant
business get to know the signatures OF
their depositors and clients. 1t is
protection to have representative sig
nature. The better it is in appearance,
the more pleasing personality it be-
tokens.

You can keep changing it from one
foot to the other before you put the
other foot down, I said. 1t may take

the bear. Another name given to the
Big Dipper is the Plow.

 " Out Program

Due to conditions, the usual Icommunity work of the Govern ment School at Douglas, except that necessary to the relief of Restitution has been abandoned, but the death of little Annie Will Hams, the third child to die since August has aroused the community to the need of quick and intensive action. A meeting of the Native Parent Teachers Association was held last evening and the follow ing steps were decided upon: IA thorough physical examina- tion of all children of school age and under will be asked for, the findings to be filed in the school, and available to teachers and par ents. That a similar examination be given the first month of each year will also be asked for.
 2-Diatetic sheets for children l from 3 to 6 years and from 6 to g years furnished by the hospital were read. A menu within the reach of all was obtained A typed copy will be furnished each home and parents will cooperate in fol- lowing directions Aid in securing the food will be given if necessary.
 The children will be weighed each month and development made public at each PIT. A. meeting.
 The following committee will aid in carrying out this plan: Mary Martin, Bessie Wilson, Bessie Weav- yer, A. Rasmussen and Annie Umbertie.
 The manual training shop has been opened to the community, the first project being the making of caskets. Six of various sizes are planned. This work will be sup- ervised by James Martin, James Fox, Joe Tassel, Peter Jackson, Frank Hubbard and George Paul. Individual projects as cupboards, tea wagons, tables, etc., for the home were discussed. The shop will be open for this work also. l Members of the two committees have been invited to attend the bi-weekly meeting of the school board, teacher and school comm ittee of the A. N. S.
 William L. Paul, guest of the evening. highly commended the work of the A. N. B. and A. N. S., also their. cooperation with the school. The need of new building and other community needs were also given attention.

There were just too many All Stars and too much Brown for the soldiers from Chilkoot to handle and the Post basketball team lost the second game of their two- game series here last night by a top heavy score of 47-24. The All- Stars, playing together for the first time, were clicking beautifully and the Lynn Canal visitors could not cope with the attack. ksa
 After trailing IS to T at the first quarter post the All-Stars went into action and from then on until the game ended it was not question of who would win but what the score would be. The Post offense suffered blow at the close of the initial frame when Harvey, forward scoring ace, was sent to the showers when he com mitted his fourth personal foul.
 ~ Brown Outstanding
 Brown was the outstanding per- former of the evening, both on offense and defense. While holding Light, big Soldier pivot man to two field goals he proceeded to drive in or eight buckets for his own account, and with one gift toss to his credit, finished the evening with IT points. Orme, Ali-Star forward, was second in scoring with nine points. Lieut. Mckee, guard and captain of the Soldier outfit, was the shining light for the losers.

GOVERNORS HAVE
 MADE PROTESTS
New England Wants Penn. Railroad Separated From
 the Other Railways

Boston, Nov 2S-UP)-The six New England governors to-day filed with the interstate commerce commission at Washington a com plaint asking that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Penn road corporation be ordered to place in the hands of trustees their stockholdings in the Boston and Maine, and New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads.
 In approving the so-called four party plan for consolidation of the nations railroads in 1882, the h. terstate Commerce commission had stipulated that the Pennsylvania in terests take such step. Comment ing on today's action, Governor Ely of Massachusetts, said:
 "The governors of all six New England states are united in their feeling that the problem of the disposition of the New England railroad cannot be settled satis- factorily so long as the Pennsyl- vania railroad controls New Eng lands two largest railroads. Any action which New England wished to take with respect to it's railroads can now be blocked by the Penn sylvania railroad through it's direct and indirect stockholdings in the Boston and Maine and the New Haven.
 "The Interstate Commerce com mission in substance decided in 1882 that the Pennsylvania rail- road ought not to be permitted to continue to hold these stocks. Un- der the emergency transportation act of 1888 the desirability of the commissions power to carry such a decision into effect has been recog- nized and it's power to do so ex- tended
