SAVES GIRL AT FRITZ COVE IN
 NEAR DROWNING
Georganne Snow Dives Full ly Dressed to Pull Out
 Ellen McKechnie

Diving into the water with all her clothes on, Georganne Snow, daughter of Monte Snow, went to the rescue of Ellen McKechnie last evening at Fritz Cove when the latter went out beyond her depth.
 Four girls, Miss Snow, Miss Mo- Kechnie, Miss Phyllis Friend and Miss Maxine Lund, went out on the swimming excursion together, although Miss Snow did not intend to go swimming The other three padded about for time, until two of them tired and got into the boat which Miss Snow was rowing about.
 Miss McKechnie apparently got out where she could no longer touch bottom with her feet and became panicky, laundering about in the water and going down twice before Miss Snow reached her. The rescue was quickly accomplish ed, as it was only a few yards to the shorer, and no ill effects re- suited from the incident.

RUN 1000 MILES AND WIN LETTER."
 SO THIS BOY DID

AUSTIN, Tex, July 27.-Cldye J. Littlefield, head track coach at the University of Texas, is strong for men with spirit.
 Littlefield tells of one of his track candidates to whom he made the promise in his freshman year of a letter if he ran 1000 miles. The runner, a two-miler, was far from an outstanding prospect. But he was a glutton for running. and refused to give up.
 In his last year he ran his best and placed fourth in the conference meet. Littlefield decided to give him letter.
 Well, I've done it. the runner told Littlefield the next day.
 Yes Littlefield replied. you made your letter and you deserve it.
 That's not what I'm taking about" the runner came back. Re member you told me if I ran 1 OOO miles I'd make letter? We'll. that race yesterday put me over the top.'

OF
 MINERS' UNION
 SUED FOR S10,0OO
Albert White Sues Neil Heard for Damages for
 Alleged Defamation

Action was brought today in the United States district court by Albert White, former United States Marshal here and now practicing law in this city, against Neil l. Heard, Secretary of the Alaska Mine Workers Union, for S10OOC for publication in the Unions bi- weekly mimeographed bulletin The Miner" of an ellegedly slan- derous article.
 MT. White incorporated the of lending article in his complaint He is acting for himself in the suit.
 Charges Malicious Defamation
 The complaint charged that Heard wrote and published the "fallowing false, malicious and defamatory articles, matters, state ments and things concerning the plaintiff, to wit: He, (meaning the plaintiff, earned the name of Blood Money" when he start ed up a collection agency in Ju- neau, (meaning plaintiffs credit and collection business operated by plaintiff as attorney at law alleged to be the most cold-heart- ed, extortioning outfit of its kind in the Territory of Alaska.
 " It is recalled that Blood Mon ey" was at one time the Republi- can Marshal of this Division. Dur ing the latter part of his term there were some agents from the Department of Justice in Wash ington, D. C., in Juneau probing beneath the surface of things. It is alleged they were very curious about the activities while in the office of Blood Money" White, As it so happened this investiga- tion came to naught, but then it is not though very likely that Washington would send agents up here so they might enjoy a few weeks the fresh, pungent northern atmosphere. (Meaning despite said investigation came to naught, the plaintiff was corrupt and dishon- est in his previous capacity as United States Marshal )
 Owned Too Much Property
 "'It is said that one time Blood Money" owned a business of his own, as well as a fine ca bin out on the road It is not quite understood by many how on Marshal's salary allows for these little expenditures. (Meaning the plaintiff as Marshal corruptly and dishonestly obtained money other than his salary as narshal)
 Tt is also recalled that the Investigators (meaning the afore- said Department of Justice inves- tigators) said to have been most interested in the amount of money that was spent for repairs on the Marshal's boat, which was paid by the Government (Meaning the plaintiff as Marshal corruptly and dishonesty caused to be spent on said Marshals boat)"
 MT. White charged that this ar ticle was written and published and distributed by Heard with the intent to injure and defame the plaintiff and his business as at torney at law. He further alleges that his business was injured and he himself and his family greatly annoyed and the article injured him in the community. and made him the object of contempt and ridicule and has caused plaintiffs family great mental suffering"

Who Are You?
Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

Conquest of Great Britain, and be-
came Lords of Barnstaple, in Devon
shire. There sprang up parishes Of
Bow Tracy, Woodcombe Tracy,
Minet-Tracy, Bradford Tracy, all de-
irving their name from this family.
There Is a tradition in the Tracy
family expressed in the couplet, "All
the Tracys have the wind in their
faces"
This saying is supposed to have
originated because of some misdeed
of some bygone member of the fam
lily and thus the curse of having the
wind blow in opposition to their
course was to follow them through
life. It is interesting to note that
in spite of this tradition, many Tracys
have sailed over rough seas and
landed their ships in golden harborS.
The first Tracy of whom We have
record was Sire de Tracie. mentioned
as a soldier and officer in the Con-
queror's army in the great Battle of
Hastings in 1866.
The first Of the family to come to
America landed with the English in
Virginia, and settled in what is now
Montgomery County.
In the New England colony, the
Tracys settled in Duxbury, Mass,
and Norwich, Conn, represented
respectively by Stephen and William.

Take Time Out
BY ANGELO PATRI.

HALF-GROWN children can re-
duce their mothers and teachers
to the verge of distraction. They are
too young to be kept under the close
supervision they had to have as babies
and runabouts. They are not old
enough to be given much leeway in
self-direction They keep see-sawing
between the two phases of growth and
their elders have to 60 up and down
and roundabout along with them.
Grown people weary of that kind
of exercise very quickly. The chill
dren are only getting well into their
swing when their elders fall gasping
by the wayside. Anger, as well as
fear, makes them scold and threaten
and punish, and finally throw up
their hands and cry, Impossible"
What is one to do with child who
fills his day with adventures that
have unhappy endings? The young
ster who climbs the light poles and
breaks an arm or collar bone? The
one who goes on visit to Aunt Mol
lie or to the boy he met last Sum-
mer without mentioning his plans to
the family? The one who forgets to
study his lesson and gets a failure and
calmly changes the marks on his rec
ord card? The one who Is sent on
an important errand and who forgets
to come back with the result? The
plain, ordinary, needless young one
who drives his people into speechless
rage about once week?
Nothing much can be done with
him. About the best we can do is to
endeavor with all our might to keep
him busy with as wide a margin of
safety as possible. Tie him to some
more mature and reliable sister or
brother or chum. Listen to him care
fully, so as to follow his thoughts
hear more in the tones of his voice
and the movements Of his body than
you can by his words. Don't lose
track of his growth in your efforts
to keep him out OF trouble.
This troublesome child is a normal
human infant. Infant in comparison
with the adult stage at which he is
to arrive after a lifetime of effort.
His antics are evidence of his mental
and physical development. If he
didn't perform we would have cause
for alarm AS it is we must endure
him and hope for the best.
When you, parent or teacher, ar
rive at the place where the sight
of this child tightens your nerves and
sharpens your tones, so that you
angrily shout, Impossible" just turn
your back for an instant and take
hold of yourself You are tired and
with reason. You do not really be-
lieve that this healthy, boisterous,
troublesome child Is impossible. The
impossibility is in your physical limi-
tations, and these must be respected
If you are to continue to live and
shoulder the responsibilities of your
job.
Turn your back on him for an in
slant. Don't see him. Don't hear
him. Then get out of his sphere of
influence for an hour, a day or a
week, as need be. If you are a
teacher, send him to some other room
for period. Exchange him for your
neighbours thorn in the flesh. Rest
from him a little. II you are a
mother. tried to the limit. send him
away for the day, or go yourself.
The fact that you feel this child on
your nerves is enough to drive you to
take time out. You can be spared.
He will be different while you are
away. He will not suffer. Go and
take a rest.

you should have a cJffee table unless

such a table to stand things on or

a small, low, butterfly table. Or q

day lilies this Spring, will make
no mistake The lemon and
tawny day lilies have been known
in gardens for years, but the lat
ter have not been ranked very
high. Many new kinds are now
being listed in the catalogues
and as they flower at different
times, may be made to cover the
season, lasting from May until
September. 1t Is we'll to remem-
Der, though, that some kinds do
most of their blooming at night.
They will be appreciated by gar
den makers who spend their eve

persons will find the day-bloom-
ing kinds more satisfactory.

Wide Misconception.

Y FIND that a surprising number of
keen contract players think that
whenever they pass, as dutiful
/ Sims players, hand with which
many systems would insist on an
opening bid. they may be making it
harder to reach a slam which should
be bid. In other words, that if you
pass a hand which is almost Sims
bid" you cannot later give your part
ner a true picture of your strength
in so far as the slam angle is con-
erned. My opinion is that the actual
facts are exactly the opposite of this,
and accumulating experience con-
firms this view with unfailing con-
sistency. If you open on doubtful
hand, you cannot rebid convincingly
or boldly, and slams are generally
based on rebids no less than on the
original bid. You may have reserve
values in slightly remote form (e.g,
the great club length in the North
