CHILDREN'S HOME TO BE ESTABLISHED AT WRANGELL BY ELKS LEADERSHIP

Lodge, $. Cunningham, Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood, Louis F. Paul, Town of Wrangell. Mayor F. S. Barnes, Chamber of Commerce, Dr. R. N. Scruby, Altar Society, Mrs H. P. Mccormack.
 Mr Hanford, in speaking of just one instance of neglected children, told of three little children who were taken to the city jail Satur- day after midnight because it was the only place where they could be kept warm and be cared for.
 Their case is particularly sad. The mother, a native woman, and a Mexican countryman of her hus- band. were sentenced in August to serve go days in jail on complaint of the husband. The oldest of the six children was given home with a Natiye family A thin, little ten-year-oid girl took over the duties of housekeeper and cook for the four children younger than herself In September Father Mon roe took two little boys, next younger to herself to the Skagway mission. The ten-year-old was eli gible for admission but could not go because she had to care for the brother and sister, five and three years old The Skagway mission cannot care for children under six years of age.
 The mother was freed from the federal jail today, but still the child cannot go to school as there is a new baby coming next month and she must take care of her mother and the little ones.
 Last Saturday night the father called the police authorities and said all the blankets had been stol- en from his house. When officers arrived at the scene the blankets were gone, the house was cold and the children were not at home. The father was arrested for drunkenness and 1t later developed that Brooks Hanford had found the children crying on Front street and had ta- ken them to his home while he hoJlIled the authorities.
 The children were put in warm beds at the city jail and given bountiful breakfast the next morn ing.
 While this is the most fragrant recent case of neglected children. there are many other cases in Wrangell and because of their helplessness the community cannot in humanity refuse to provide for the children's needs.
 - Tt is true that today there is no place in Wrangell to care for needy children" Mr. Hanford stat ed this afternoon, but in a short time that condition will be reme- died" It is the plan of the men and women who are working with Mr Hanford to have the project include a day nursery so that children of working mothers may be cared for during the day.

MUssOLINI LAsHES SANCTIONS
 ACTIONS OF OTHER NATIONS

ROME, Oct. .31-The ceremonial of opening the Citta Uniyersitaria, special residential quarters for university students, was marked by a speech from Mussolini dealing with the present international situ- ation and according to eye witness es was accompanied by an outburst of personal anger such as Il Duce rarely displays in public. This made all the deeper impression because the ceremony was attended by the whole diplomatic corps. Mussolini referred to the significant fact that the dedication ''studium urbis" took place at the moment when Italian soldiers, as the advance guard of civilization, were march ing forward to victory.
 At this point Mussolini seemed to become gripped by impassioned feel ing as he continued "but at this moment one must not forget the coalition of plutocracies who have joined forces to stop the black shirts. This attempt will fail! Eco homie sanctions against Italy are the yilest most despicable that his tory has seen for a long time, and posterity will blush for shame at their memory. Let it be said that we will meet them with our in flexible resistance and our sover- eign contempt" Students gathered at the ceremony cheered with ar ecstasy of enthusiasm for several minutes The Duce's pronouncemenr is considered here to be of great political significance, inasmuch as it indicates plainly that Mussolin+ has no intention of deviating from the policy pursued hitherto.

 Return From Toronto

Major w J. Carruthers, division al commander of Alaska and north CT British Columbia, and Mrs. Car ruthers returned Thursday morn ing from Toronto where they at tended the 53rd annual Congress of the Salvation Army in Canada dur ing the week of October 4-11.
 It was the largest Congress the Army has ever had in Canada. Over 50,000 people attended the sessions. The largest gathering was on Sunday afternoon when 17,0OO people heard General Evangeline Booth give her famous Salvation Army lecture, entitled, The World s Greatest Romance" This was the largest crowd that ever greeted Miss Booth in the western hemis- phere, except when she fareWelled last year at Madison Square Garden from her command in the United States which she had held for 30 years, to become World Leader of the Army.
 Twelve hundred officers were gathered at the Congress from Der muda, Newfoundland, every prov ince of Canada and Alaska. The AL askan delegates travelled 32O0 miles to reach Toronto.
 "The General is a very fluent taIker," stated Major Carruthers She holds her audience spellbound. On the night of her big lecture she spoke for 75 minutes and every body was as keenly interested al the end as in the beginning"
 Miss Booth will be TO years of age on Christmas Day, but despite her years of strenuous work is re- markable physically. She swims, rides horseback and enjoys other forms of outdoor exercise.
 The meeting was one of intense spiritual inspiration, said the maj or, and will never be forgotten by those in attendance.
 General Booth honored the Alas kan delegates, Major and Mrs Carruthers of Wrangell, Lieut.. Newton and Captain Newton, In dian offices from Rake, and the Northern B. c. delegates, Adjt. Par kinson of Glen Vowell and Adjt Laycock of Prince Rupert, by pos ing with them in picture in which the delegates wore Thlinget Indian ceremonial robes, each one a museum piece from the A.

Aroused by the need of a child ren's home in the community Wrangell Elks at their meeting Wednesday night sponsored leader ship in such a project.
 F. G. Hanford was appointed a committee of one to confer with representatives of other organiza- tions, looking to an immediate start of a place where children could be cared for.
 A subscription paper was drawn up and volunteer contributions af- ter the close of the meeting were subscribed as follows:
 Five dollars-F. c. Hanford, L. A. Olsen, L c. Bjorge, R. N. scru- by, V. L, Boardway, 2. M. Brad ford, C. F. Hurley, E. NJ. Campbell, Chas Benjamin; Two dollars John Kaer, s. Cunningham, w. A. Coulter; One dollar-Irl Thatcher, F. w. Wilkins; One days labor or cash was promised by c. c. Rula- ford. Many other contributions are expected and will be acknowledged in the Sentinel columns.
 Mr. Hanford devoted his entire time Thursday to the matter and at the end of the day had abundantly lived up to his reputation as a community rustler." He made ten tative arrangements with officers of St. Philips church to use the gymnasium in which to start a children's home.
 The plan is to partition the gym, using half as play room and the other half as two dormitories. The Guild rooms adjoining the gym. consisting of a kitchen, large as sembly room and a bathroom which is large enough to be made into two bathrooms, lend themselves very nicely to the project.
 Last month Major w. J. Carruth- CTS was appointed to ascertain if Salvation Army aid would be avail able for a children's home. The ma jor was not in a position to speak with authority but stated that he considered it very probable that two trained Army women would be sent here on request of the com munity. If the project succeeds in a small way it will naturally lead to something larger.
 A meeting was called for this af- ternoon by MT. Hanford at which representatives from Wrangell or ganizations were to confer on the various problems concerned in get ting children's home started at Wrangell.
 Those expected to be present be- sides MT. Hanford were Mrs. George Green, representing the Ladies Aid, Father Monroe, the Catholic church, Mrs. Harry Coulter, Legion Auxiliary, Arnold Krone, St. Phil ip's Episcopal church, Rev. Russell F. Pederson, American Legion and Presbyterian church, Major Car ruthers, Salvation Army, Eastern Star, Mrs. Bjorge, Women's Civic Club, Mrs. M. O. Johnson, Redmen

 AVOID FRENCH CONFLICTS

ADDS ABABA, Oct. 31.-The Italians have completely abandoned Mussa Ali and are moving their base to Ausha due to. fear of con- flict with French interests.

Fire Companies Seek
Financial Aid
Sponsor Bill Providing Tax
Levy To Help Defray
Necessary Expenses

The various Volunteer Fire Com
panies in Cecil county, have had pre-
pared and handed to the Cecil county
delegation in the Maryland Legisla-
ture, Annapolis, bill which if
passed would require the Board of
County Commissioners to levy an
nually the sum of $10,500 to be
divided among the various fire COM
panies in this country, to help pay
operating expenses.
Carnivals are no longer profitable,
and several of the companies in Cecil
county, have had an uphill task to
raise sufficient money to pay neces-
sary expenses in operating.
The past year the County Com
missioners appropriated $500 to each
IRE company, but many of the fire.
men think this amount should be
raised, contending they contribute
Gheir services free and that the pub
tic should pay a larger share of the
operating expenses.
1t is understood that the County
commissioners are not in favor of
he bill, as drawn, but will continue
helping the fire companies to the
extent that they were helped the
past year.

Sales Tax Opposed
Farm Bureau And Grange
Cite Objections

In further support of their argu-
ments for income and inheritance tax
legislation, leaders of the Farm Blu
reau and the State Grange have set
forth five major objections to gen.
eral sales tax for Maryland, and the
grounds on which they will oppose
this method of raising revenue.
A general sales tax, they allege, l.
mani1estIy unfair since it falls heavl
est on those whose purchases can
only be in the smallest amounts. A
percentage sales tax cannot be equit-
ably applied 10 purchases under so
cents, it.was stated, and those in the
be taxed on most of their income,
while the higher income group.
would be taxed on only small por
ton of theirs.
1t was also pointed out that, be-
cause of Maryland's geographical.
position, a sales tax in this state
could be very easily evaded, especi
ally in those sections bordering OIL
states having no such tax, and tina,
retail business on an extensive scalt
would be driven out of those sections
1t has been estimated that the
evasion of the tax weight reach 81
per cent in Prince George and Mont
gomery Counties; IL per cen. on the
eastern Shore, and IL per cent ove-
he State as a whole. In the opinion
of the farm leaders it would be high
~ unfortunate for the economic in
erests of the State of Maryland to
PASS a measure with so negative al
influence at this time, and that there
re far more equitable and forward
looking methods for raising revenue
now being overlooked.
1t is also contended that a sales
AK would be extremely unfair to the
armers of the State unless propel
exemptions as made, and that il.
many instances, since the farmer i
Doth producer and consumer, h,
would be subject to double tax.
