the son of Charles Frederick and Clara Bell Burton Crisp. His child hood was spent in Americus, and he was educated in the public schools there.
 Goes Lo House
 When he was 19 his father obtain ed a place for him in the Depart ment of Interior at Washington. He put in his spare time reading law, but studied especially parlia- mentiary procedure and when his father was elected Speaker, the 21- year-old son, with the approval of the Democratic majority, was made House parliamentarian. That was at the December session of 1891.
 In later years the younger Crisp played major role in liberalizing the rules of the House, many of the present regulations being his work His Manual and Digest of the Rules of the House of Representa- tives" gained international recog- milton as a standard work.
 He served again as House parlia- mentarian under Speaker Champ Clark, beginning in 1911. In 1912 he was parliamentarian of the Dem- ocratic National Convention at Bal timore which produced an historic struggle before it nominated Wood row Wilson.
 Goes to Congress
 Crisp, when his father died in 1896, was elected to fill out the unexpired term of the Fifty Fourth Congress. He declined to run for the next full term and, having been admitted to the Georgia bar in 1895, he returned to Anericus to practice law. He was judge of the city court there from 1900 to 1911, resigning to ac-. cept the call from Speaker Clark.
 In the succeeding Congress he be- gan his long service as member of the House. Dating from 1915 his assignments included membership of the Ways and Means Committees and he was ranking Democratic member next to Chairman Collier of Mississippi, when the Democrats gained control of the House in the 1881 election. He was frequently mentioned for the speakership at that time, but the post went to John N. Garner of Texas.
 Collier was too ill to undertake the work as chairman of the big com mittee for the hectic 1892 session. and the duties devolved on Crisp. The Georgian believed strongly in a manufacturers sales tax as the best method of balancing the budget and fought for it vigorously, but was defeated by a coalition of Inde- pendent Republicans and Liberal Democrats.
 He then was charged by the House with preparation in his committee of another measure and he worked over it long hours For time he had to retire for rest, but he came back to present the bill on the floor.
 No matter what the consequenc- es may be to me personally" he said, T am advocating the levying of sufficient taxes to balance the budget. It means nothing to the United States whether I remain in Congress. It means much to the United States government that its. honor. its credit and it's security be maintained at par"

Pilot Sheldon Simmons, of the Alaska Air Transport, looked long ingly at Juneau's clear skies this morning, and felt the call of Ket- chikan, but frequent second looks at the wind swept waters of Cas- tineau Channel gave him other ideas entirely.

She explained the manner in which the schools are financed, by Territorial and Federal aid. The cost of education in Alaska is no more per pupil, Mrs. Drake explained, than in the sparcely set tied states. All of the schools within incorporated cities maintain four year high school courses, with the exception of Eagle, and twelve of the high schools in the Territory arc fully accredited with the Universi- ty of Alaska, University of Wash ington, and other outside schools of higher learning. After tracing briefly the history of the Territory until today when its development has taken schools from the south ernmost part of the Territory tt Point Barrow, far beyond the Arcti> Circle, Mrs. Drake offered toast i to the school children of the Terri tory, Alaska's future citizens.

WASf1lNOTlON, Jan. Z0. = You might like to know that:
 John Collier, commissioner of In- dian Affairs, has come upon statis- tics of rodent control on mountain states Indian reservation which he presents as the height of something or other.
 Killing the rodents (prairie dogs, probably has cost Il cents an acre since 1883. To make it effective for six years, the cost must be increased to IS cents. The rodents were doing five per cent damage to the grass, la maximum estimate The rental value of the land is five cents all acre, so the rodent damage was 2a mills an acre yearly, or cent and a half for the six years during which control would cost 18 cents. This made the cost of killing the rodents 12 times the damage they caused. Before somebody figured that out $20,000 had been spent poisoning them.
