SUPREME COURT FOR ALASKA IS NOW PROPOSED
Delegate Dim ond Intro- duces Bill Headquart-
 CTS to Be in Juneau

WASHINGTON, March 23.-
 Special Correspondence)-To es- tablishl a Supreme Court for the Territory of Alaska, a bill was in- troduced by Delegate Dimond on Wednesday. It provides for the appointment by the President, with the consent of the Senate, of a Chief Justice who shall reside in Juneau. The Supreme Court will be composed of the Chief Justice and the four District Judges of the Territory.
 The court shall have jurisdic- ton to review by appeal any final decree or proceeding of the Dis trict Court in all civil suits and in all criminal cases, in accordance with the laws of the United States. The United States marshals and the United States attorneys in AL aska shall perform the same du- ties for the Supreme Court that they now perform for the District Courts, and the clerks of the Unit ed States District Courts shall act as deputy clerks under the clerk of the Supreme Court who will be elected to his position by ma- jority vote of the court.
 The bill differs from that in- troduced by Judge James Wicker sham in the Seventy-second Con- gress, chiefly in that the Wicker sham bill limited the jurisdiction of the court to review by appeal, civil suits wherein the value in controversy did not exceed $1 ,000, and criminal cases below the grade of felony. As now before Congress, the bill authorizes jurisdiction to the Supreme Court to review by ap- peal in all civil suits and criminal cases. Enactment of this bill should greatly facilitate the furtherance of justice in the Territory without greatly increasing the cost to the Government.

 ports to Alaska

 The young men held good at tendance of members in close at tention as they showed by many graphs and told verbally of the imports from the United States to Alaska over a ten-year period ex- tending from 1924 to 1883.
 The graphs had been prepared as a special project in the ad- vanced mathematics class taught by Miss Marjorie Tillotson. The data for the carefully constructed depictions of the imports were talk en from the complete report sub mitted by United States Collector of Customs J. J.

 Knight Speaks
 donored as principal speaker to- day was Harold Knight, Northland Transportation Company official, who had been invited to explain the proposed berthing of the North land Line vessels from Seattle at the municipality y-owned City Dock. However, Knight told Chamber members that, until approval of the deal had been given by the City Council, he could give no re- port of the details of the move. The Council is scheduled to meet tomorrow night.
 Knight did point out, though, that municipally-owned and oper- ated wharfs had proven success in many principal cities of the Pacific Coast.
 There are only two factors con- cerned in my company's proposed move to your City Dock Knight said. First, there is a desire for economic operation. Second, there is an opportunity for improved freight and passenger facilities"

LESSON OF EXPERIENCE

Some of the more important fac tors which would be expected to influence public and official opin- ion are these
 l. We have had one experience. The private and public sorrows and privations of it are well remem- bered So are the results. Europe has re-armed, repudiated it's debts, and trampled under foot that dem ocracy" which was the avowed in- spiration of American war making.
 2. Even before this experience it took three years to get the Unit ed States into the World War, and under advanced methods of war fare it is doubted by many wheth- CT any future war of great magni- tude will last that long. -
 3. We have a great deal to think about nearer home. National recov- cry from the depression has en- listed the efforts and anxieties of officials and public alike, largely to the exclusion of events abroad.

If War Comes in Europe, It Is q Cinch United States
 WM Stay Out, Says Price
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

AtsSy y"ohhii6 tcht
 If official Washington were making a book" on the German situation, it would give long odds that the United States would stay out of any European war which might ensue.
 Naturally the Capital is concern ed-deeply concerned. When the sparks are flying in the wind, no one knows whose house is safe. There is no warrant in official thought, however, for the widely held assumption that because we were drawn into the last great war, we would inevitably be drawn in again.
 On the contrary, there are many reasons for believing it would be much more difficult to involve this country than it was 20 years ago.

OTHER INFLUENCES

Many other influences might be named. Some think the nations increased war strength alone would discourage any European effort to involve it. Because of developments since the World War, what inter- national concern there is centers more in the Pacific than the At lantic. Pending proposals to con- script wealth are calculated to dampen war enthusiasm in im- portant quarters.
 It is recalled that the United States entered the World War only after (and perhaps partly because) American money had been invest ed heavily in the cause of the AL lies. Today, after the fiasco of the

An organized women's movement

and economic order to the advantage
of all, Miss Mary Anderson, director
OF the Labor Departments Women's
Bureau, told members of the District
Business and Professional Women's
Club at their first meeting of the

IF women would unite as con-
sumers," Miss Anderson said, they

She said women should work for
the advancement of their sex, mot
entirely as individuals or as a group,
but in the interests of the whole
population of the country.
Though 1t is difficult for all women
to unite for common cause" Miss
Anderson continued, I'VE need not
despair. because women do have
very definite common cause In the
family. The welfare of the family is
q rallying point that makes q strong
appeal to all women"
The Women's Bureau director said
that the 1880 census showed almost

as wage earners, salaried workers and

sentative Lindsay Warren of North
Carolina, author of the potato con-
troll bill, yesterday sought generous at
tendance Of growers at the meeting
called by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration in Washington, D. c.,

Warren declined to answer what he
termed false attacks against a meas
ure which he said did not come from
the growers themselves, who were
overwhelmingly for the potato bill"
but from those seeking to undermine
and destroy the entire A. A. A. pro-
gram"
I'VE have given the growers the
bill they desire and indorsed," he
said. Growers in 80 States strongly
favored 1t. It is today the law Of
the land and we are going to Wash

were in hospitals today recovering
from wounds inflicted by wild animals,
a hazard that has almost become
commonplace to folk Of the tanbark
and kleig lights.
The victims were Charles Bickford,
burly red-headed film actor, and
Mabel Stark, known to screen and cir
Gus as q peerless trainer Of Bengal
tigers.
An enraged lion suddenly sank his
fangs into Bickford's neck yesterday
while cameras ground the final scenes
for East Of Java"
Horrified co-workers dragged the
lion from the PROSTATE actor barely
In time to avert his death.
Miss Stark was receiving treatment
for severely lacerated left arm, which
a big cat ripped last Saturday at
Phoenix, Ariz. Only three years ago,
she went to a hospital here as a re-
suit of a tigers attack in the making
OF the movie King of the Jungle.
Many q trouper in Hollywood bears
marks from his experience Of manu-
featuring thrills with wild amin lis.
They include Joe Z. Brown and
Johnny Weissmuller.

ages Entrance-Lighting
Hospitable.

A hall is an important indication
of the character and personality of the
home dweller. 1t may be that Its ap-
pearance offers an invitation or 1t
may discourage entrance. Correct
lighting is essential in affording an
atmosphere Of hospitality. Dark halls
are stumbling blocks esthetically and
physically to the stranger within the
gates.
Artificial lighting should be ede-
quate and natural light should be
accentuated as much as possible by a
careful selection of wall ana floor
coverings. A stairway rising from
the hall painted in light tones har-
monizing with the wall and floor COW
erings, and with q dark wood banister
provides a pleasant contrast.
In a house where there are chill
dren special arrangements should be
made for them in the entrance of
the hail. A lavatory encourages q
presentable appearance at meals and
all times. Specially built-in cupboards
for the hanging of coats, the caring for
rubbers, umbrellas, sweaters, skates
tennis racquets, and other equipment
considered necessary by the young
people, contribute to the order Of the
home and minimize confusion.
