Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
''Will you be good enough to
advise me as to correct way to
sign ones name after the death
of ones husband?
81 maintain that Mrs. Oliver
Smith Is correct and my friends
say it should be Mrs. Mary
Smith s..
You are right. After her hus-
bands death, a widow should use
exactly the same forms Of name
that she used when her husband
was living. Her visiting card still
should read: Mrs. oliver Smith.
This, too, is the form in which her
telephone should be listed in the
telephone directory, and this is
the form to which all letters
should be addressed to her. She
should never use the form, Mrs.
Mary Smith, unless requested to
do so on legal papers.
Let's suppose that a widow were.
for example, writing to me, and
that she wished to sign her name
to the letter. It should be:
Very sincerely yours,
Mary Brown Smith.

 WELCOMES IN
 NEW MEMBER
Judge Alexander Tells oi Increased Business
 in States


 Juneau Rotarians assembled at their weekly meeting in the Term inal Cafe this noon and welcomed a new member to the club, w. s. Pullen, Manager of the Alaska FL ectric Light and Power Company
 Howard D. Stabier, Past Presi- dent of the Club, made a talk on Rotary in Juneau and welcomed MT Pullen to the club. &ls
 Judge George F. Alexander was introduced to the club as a guest by Acting President Charles Beale. The Judge told the assembled Ro- tarians that he was impressed strongly by two things during his recent trip to the States, during which he attended the Shrine Con- vention in Seattle. One was the greatly increased interested in AL aska by the many he talked with and the unusually heavy tourist travel to Alaska, which transpol'ta- : tion companies told him would break all records by a large margin.
 Business in general, Judge Alex ander said, was decidedly up. Julius Meier, of the MeierlFrank store in Portland told the Judge that the store was now employing 5000 people, that its business was up 20 per cent over last year, and that the year before had shown a m ark e d increase and that it's present number of employees was greater than at any time in the history of the long established mercantile firm.

No More Bottled Beer for L. A. Wrestling
 Fans

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. B. Bottled beer and soda pop have been banned at wrestling matches here.
 It seems that the spectators, somewhat annoyed at performances rendered by some of the mat vil- lains, tried to show their feelings by hrling empty bottles at the entertainers.
 This would have been o. k, but unfortunately some innocent per sons were struck by the missiles And sports writers were annoyed by the bottles Hence the scribes petitioned the city fathers to draw up an ordinance calling for paper cups instead of the more damaging containers for the liquid refresh mentS.

 The champion generally enters the ring close to the 220-pound mark, and if the match lasts a half hour or more, he loses about Is pounds. The next day, how ever, he is back at fighting weight" most of the loss having been mois- ture.
 Marshall is a far cry from the "dese, dem and dose" figur S popularly associated with the mat game. Out of the ring he is al- most as shy as his wife, but is able to hold up his end of the con- versation in any company on prac- tically any subject. In the ring lie is the killer" type, especially when he applies his favorite full Nelson gfip.

with his announcement that he intended to fly across the English Channel. He accomplished the feat on July 25. 1909, flying from Calais to Dover. The destroyer Escopette was assigned to steer the course. Apparently, the idea that Bleriot's machine might move faster than a destroyer never entered anyone's head.
 Pulls Away
 At first Bleriot's machine moved above the vessel. Then, seemingly bothered by the smoke from the destroyer's stacks, it steered slightly away Little by little, it pulled away despite the efforts of the Escopette to keep ahead.
 In exactly 38 minutes the air plane covered the 38 kilometers (23.5 miles) between France and England, and Bleriot by his feat won a prize of $5,000 offered by a London newspaper for the first flight across the channel.
 Acclaimed Everywhere
 Bleriot was acclaimed everywhere he went in England and was greet ed by a characteristic wild French demonstration on his return to Paris. He was congratulated by the Government and made an of ficer of the Legion of Honor His plane was placed on exhibition and among many offers he received was one for a vaudeville engagement in the United States.
 Several years elapsed before Bier tot confessed what was the great moment of his channel flight. Il was not the safe landing, but the sight of the chalk cliffs of Dover after they had been hidden from sight for more than ten minutes
 In the early days of his flying career, Bleriot had many exciting moments, and met with many mis- haps during the experimenta stage of his flying machines.
 One Early Feat
 One early feat that pleased him greatly was in July, 1908, when he managed to remain in the air eight minutes against a gale. Another was in June, 1909 when he broke the duration record three times First he remained aloft Is minutes and 30 seconds; then 36 minutes and 55 seconds, and finally SC minutes and eight seconds.
 Between 1909 and 1911 Bleriot made many flights over the var ! ious capitals of Europe. He devoted much time to the training of young pilots who succeeded to his laurels while he dedicated himself to the construction of airplanes.
 During the World War his fac tories produced thousands of ma chimes for the French and Allied Armies. Afterwards they turned out a large number of planes for use by the French military forces.

New Tin-Eared Mat Cham pion Has College Degree
 Wife Helps Him
By FRITZ HOWELL

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 3.-College graduate, husband of his childhood sweetheart, father of two, fine fisherman, a terrible golfer, total abstainer from liquor and tobacco that's Everett Marshall, new rul- CT of the heavyweight wrestling ranks Gin certain sections)
 When the La Junta, Colo. grap- pier dumped Al Baba, the pseudo Turk. on his back here to ascend the throne, his mpnager, Billy Sandow, said:
 At last the wrestling game has a champion worthy of the name. Everett is a fine family man, a real American of the highest sort, and probably the most clean-cut fellow who ever held the title. And he won it on merit and real wrest- ling, with no 'hippodroming.
 The Little Wo7rGn' Helped
 Marshall required five years to blow through the wrestling ranks from the bottom to the top, and through those years Mrs Marshall was his greatest booster During the lean years, when he barnstorm- ed all over the country, living "out of a suitcase" she was at the ring side for each of his bouts.
 Two years ago their son, Bobby, was born, Soon after that Mar shall established residence in Col umbus, and although Mrs, Mar shall does not travel with him as extensively as before, she always watches matches in this vicinity.
 Marshall and his wife, both child ren of Colorado ranchers, met while attending high school at La Junta. After graduating, Marshall went to the University of Iowa, while she attended Southern Methodist uni versity at Dallas, Tex.
 For two years, following her graduation from college, Mrs. Mar shall taught school in Colorado, but when Marshall entered the mat game they were married. Mrs. Marshall. strikingly tall, gray eyed and rather shy, doesn't object to her husband being a professional wrestler.
 She even says, T wouldn't mind if Bobby becomes a wrestler, if he is as good at it as his father" The Marshalls' other child is 5-month- old Ann.
 Wanted To Sing Opera
 Marshall, 218-pound blond, has many hobbies, but the two greatest are his family and trout fishing. During his youth he wanted to be an opera singer but he gave up that idea and now confines his vocal efforts to the bathroom.
 He says his hardest match was with bear. which he raised from a cub on his fathers ranch, while he finds "Frankenstein," a spring. filled robot designed by his man. ager as training partner, has easiest opponent
 Wrestling several times a week, as have been doing" Marshall says, "has convinced me that phys ical condition and mental poise are the most valuable parts of my wrestling equipment.

studied the problem of making a practical airplane He conducted dozens of experiments at Issy-les Moulineaux and lost most of the fortune he had made with his au- tomobile searchlight. In 1906, aided by two friends, he founded the first airplane factory in France.
 Finally, on September IT, 1907, his widest dreams came true, He flew 186 meters in a monoplane built by his own hands.
 After that progress was rapid. Other young aviators and airplane constructors entered the field, but Bleriot. by daring flight June 29, 1908, managed to win the Be ginners' Prize" of 200 francs (then about S40)
 Startles World
 On October 31 of the same year he startled the world by making the first cross country flight on record. With one stop, he flew be- tween Toury and Arthenay, a dis tance of about 50 miles. At that time the idea that anyone would leave the ground again in one of those wild contraptions after hav- ing landed safely, was almost un- believable.
 Then came rthe great experience -the greatest stunt of pre-war aviation. Bleriot caused sensation
