Elsie Janis. The young man was
Douglas Fairbanks and he usual

Fairbanks and got to discussing
the great show of the year 1917
- Century Girl" and the
names involved-and what hap
pened.
In addition to the vivaciOuS
Elsie, there was the cultural
grunting Sam Bernard and the
peppery Marie DressIer. There
was an extremely comical chap
named Frank Tinney and a
song and patter team, Van and
SchenCk. There was a dancing
duo, Maurice and Walton, a
dazzling beauty, Hazel Dawn, a
funny fellow and his dog Lizzie,
Harry Kelly. There were some.
thing like Ga buck and wing
dancers trained and whipped
into precision by a Mr.. Ned
Wayburn. A troupe of shapely
bellies, more or less daringly
undraped appeared in an un-
dersea ballet guided by AdOIph
Baum and for the first time in
America, q cluster of is young
British beauties who danced
like autOmatOns with precise
steps and arm gestures-the Til
Ter girls.
Mr.. Florenz Ziegfeld and Mrs.
Charles A. Dillingham; were CO.
producers and a lively gal,
Nellie Revell was the press
agent. The reminiscent Ledner
was the stage manager and
atop the roof was a cabaret
operated for ziegfeld by John
Steinberg.
There were some mighty pretty

cities when we shall divide business history into two parts, before codes and since"
 As Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Robert c. Brinkley is quoted in Associated Press dispatch from Cleveland Ohio expressing the view of this group of historians that changes now occurring in business control and management which will make the records of pre-code days of con- siderable value to business and to those who are studying business conditions
 The reason assigned for members of the research committee occupying themselves with the minimum of delay is that many corporations customary destroy records after few years thus losing many items which particularly at the present time have considerable historical importance The committee explained that they not desirous of preserving large quantities of records; samples of summaries Of representative organizations in industry will suffice These, it added will be vital "as history" And the work of preservation has already started.
 That commercial transactions and relationships in nthis country of only last year the subject of scrutiny for purely historical purposes may seem astonishing to people, but hardly to anyone who has read the reports to stock holders of any representative American industrial concern.

FIGHTING OUR BATTLE, ALSO.

While it is undoubtedly true that Vce-President Wilson of the Alaska Steamship Company is flghthg the company's battles in his vigorous and unceasng efforts to reach sort of settlem nt or unoer- standing to release Alaska shipping from the general lcngshoremen's strike on the Pacific Coast he is at the same time waging fight on behalf oi the Territory The company's revenues are most cer- tanly being reduced by the strike and 1t stands to lose many thousands of dollars through it. But Alaska stands to lose even if it is" not settled or some agreement is not made which will permit the supplies materials and equipment needed TOT our industries to northward and the products of our fishermen be discharged in Seattle with out further delay. Without knowledge of all the factors in the dispute cannot say which side IS in the right on the strike. We are not concerned with the terms of settlement But as innocent by islanders whose most vital interests are enoahgereo have a right to protection
 MT Wilson has pointed out with a clear vision the difference in Aaskas position and that of othe sections affected by the strike The Territory IS the only district that has but one mode of traffic com municaton. All of commerce is waterborne, With the markets of the States and their store houses closed to maritime shipping all of our industries will inevitably dry up. The trolling ln- dustry for instance, which has itself just emerged from a strike of several weeks is deprived of chance to fish through lack of markets if their fares cannot be unloaded from the holds of steamers arriving in Seattle Alaska. True, the effects have not been widely felt yet since local buyers are mildcuring and n~some instances -canning the fish But this market cannot continue to do that indefinitely.
 There isn't single large Alaskan industry which will not feel the effects in the same manner. Our greatest industry, salmon canning, must complete it's preparations for fishing and canning quickly possible. In fact fishing and canning is already on in one or two localities. few more days delay will reduce operations very largely, adding to unemployment reducing Territorial revenues and generally playing havoc with all business and in dustry and society in general. There is danger to the schools, old age pensions mothers pensions, in fact to every eeemosynary function of the Terri torial Government in a continuation of present conditions.
 Gov. Troy has done everything in his power to assist MT Wilson and others who are on the ground. He has wired Secretary Ickes Gov. Martin and others forcefuy depicting the situation and it's direfu potentiates. We believe that the time has about when direct appeal to President Roose- welt entirely justified That seems to be the only left to him.

B0Otlegging vs. Low Liquor Taxes.
(New York Herald Tribune.)


 The evils of high liquor taxes, SO often stressed in these columns, were forcefully presented by MT Joseph H. Choate, Jr, in article printed last Sunday In this he made the assertion that despite the abandonment of Prohibition the amount of bootleg liquor still being made and sold in this country is great the amount of legal liuuor imported
 The reason is simple and obvious-the high cost of imported legally manufactured spirits, wines and beers because of excessive taxes. Booteggers thrive only because of the margin of their profits When all alcoholic drinks legally sold are excessively expensive the consumer if he wants reasonably decent liquor, must pay through the nose" The bootlegger offers him the kind of stuff he was hardened to during the Prohibition era for low price.
 The tragedy of this lies in the setback which this gives to true temperance Wise policy would have dictated making the taxes on wines and beers so low as to facilitate their sale at minimum prices and taxes liquor low enough to destroy the profits of the booegger Strict enforcement against bootleggers would have been maintained with an enlarged rather than diminished force of agents Instead the taxes wines and beers and the diff fculties in the way of selling them cheaply and the high taxes on liquor have put premium on the drinking of bootlegged supplies.
 MT. Choate calls not only for drastic enforce ment of the laws against illicit distillers but point to the need of lowering taxes. This is par tcularly essential when it to, foreign wines and beers. Cheap French wines, for example laid down in New York, pay tax of about 15O per cent of their value. This certainly is excessive Even California wineS because of the taxes and the regulation against retailing them by casks sell for such high prices that the average buyer feels that he gets for his money by buying hard liquor No wonder, under the circumstances that the liquor store proprietors report that several bottles of Whiskey gin sold for every bottle of wine The solution lies in drastic tax reductions all along the line.

 Efforts were being made by w. E.
