strongest available quintet was pitted
against the Paul Morphy delegation,
better known as District team cham
pion for last year.

record in Salt Lake City in 1925 with
go round-trip wallops, Tony has been
a spectacular member of the New
York cast. He has played on six
American League champion and five
world champion clubs. His passing
leaves Lou Gehrig as the only playing
member Of the 1925 team still on the
Yankees.
Known to his teammates as "Nino"
and to the fans as "Poosh EN- Up"
Lazzeri always was a terrific hitter,
his average dropping as he grew older,
but his ability to drive runs home and
to think clearly in the clutch never
deserting him. His lifetime major
league average is around 200, and he
has driven in nearly 1900 runs.
A sure fielder, Tony played Amer
ican hitters with infinite craft and
frequently advised pitchers on batters
weaknesses. He gained ambiguous
fame by tanning against Grover Cleve-
land Alexander in the final game OF
the 1925 world series. but came back

While the sinking of the Amer ican gunboat Panay near Nan king by Japanese gunners may have been only incidental to the Sino-Japanese conflict and not in tentional. the incident cannot but make Americans think of what might be the situation were Am ericans to become involved in a war with Japan.
 Alaskans, as residents of the nearest of American possessions, would be especially concerned. What of the defense of American towns and settlements along the far-f1ung Alaskan coast in case of attack.
 Practically unfortified and with out airf1eets or naval fleets Alas ka today would fall easy prey to invading squadrons. The Amer ican Pacific naval ships at Ere merton and San Diego are of lit tie value in defending a country thousands of miles distant.
 The American fleets might later eventually drive invaders from Alaskan shores or territory but tremendous damage could be wrought in the first quick and unheralded attacks-and every one knows Japan does not adver- tise what she intends to do when she goes to war. She strikes first and explains later.
 Even if the whole Am erican naval force were distributed along the Alaskan coast it would have plenty to do to protect the many thousands of miles of shore line. AS to the present condition with out a warship of any kind in AL

This column has always sought
to give information which would
be useful in preventing or curing
disease which in one form or an
other everyone has or will have.
However, during many years of
practice, we have found that there
are many people who would rather
see others continue to suffer or to
die prematurely. For this latter
small group we are at this time
offering some Infamous sugges-
tions. ..:
First of all, when you hear of
sickness go Immediately and
NEEDLE as much as possible. Tell
the family or the sick one that you
have seen such a case usually have
fatal termination. Inquire about
the doctor and call attention to the
fact that all of his patients die.
Suggest some other doctor who is
specialist" and who never has
as yet signed a death certificate.
Always advise concerning diet for

are sure to be wrong. If you can
start an argument in the sick
room so much the better for the
sicker the patient the more upset
he will be. By all means never
smile or encourage the patient. If
possible have him make a decision
on what undertaken he wishes Gin
case something might happen"
If the patient is in a hospital, be
sure to round up all others like
yourself and fill the hospital to
Overlooking so that you will be in
the nurses way and so that you
will prevent the patient from get
ting any rest either physical or
mental.
