Aid for Orphans Fails
To Reach the 1000 Mark
SPREAD THE NEWS

Less THAN one-third of the orphans
of the World war are receiving the ed
ucational aid to which they are entitled,
according to the Legion's national conf
mittee on education of war orphans.
This condition the committee told
the national conference of department
commanders and adjutants which met
at Indianapolis recently, exists because
of the lack of information on the part
of these orphans as to the privileges
to which they are entitled. The COM
mittee believes it is the duty of Legion
naires to inform those youngsters of
their rights
No more constructive aid could be
given these children than to educate
hem to fight the battle of life, the
committees report said. Approx
,nately 1000 war orphans are receiving
assistance in 81 out of the 48 states.

HARLEM NURSE WE'D
TO IRISH VOLUNTEER

Dear Joe North,
Il have justsass Hfhed the duties that
fall upon the press agent for the Amer
lean III edIcal Bureau. 1t has occurred
to me that the newspapers may have
overlooked the marriage of Salaria
Kee, the Negro nurse from Harlem,
to young Irish comrade, John Joseph
O'Reilly.
"They were married Oct. at Villa
Paz and the marriage was celebrated
with music and dancing Speeches
were made by Bill Lawrence, the rep
resentative Of the J. r. c. for Cuenca

rade who spoke for the patients; Dr.
Donawa, Negro dentist and many 9th

"Salaria Kee came to Spain in April
and has worked at Villa Paz. She is
known to hundreds of American boys
for her patience, her smile and wit.
She is very charming person and the
groom, who is known as Pat" dis

"The old judge from Salices, who
sports large handlebar mustaches, per-

band from Salices supplied the music
and it seems to me that although they
may not know it, they dish out damned
good swing.

presents. The affair broke up late but
none staggered.

OIsons Know How Jonah Felt Just Before It Happened

Territorial Treasurer Oscar Ol- son knows just how Jonah of Bi- blical fame felt just before the whale gobbled him up.
 Last evening while fishing off Lena Point, Mir and Mrs. Olson were startled to see a huge whale rise to the top of the water not more than 25 feet from their small boat his mouth open, scooping in the herring which were feeding in the vicinity. Fearful the beast might overturn their boat in his man. euvers, the Olsons, who were but a short distance from shore, jerked alive their outboard and headed for the beach,
 Hearing the motor, the whale de- parted, rising later far out in the water
 "One look at that huge, ugly mouth with barnacles hanging un- der his chin and l lost any envy I might have had for Jonah, com mented the Treasurer.

CITY WINS CASE BROUGHT OVER
 CITY DOCK MOVE
Femmer Demand Dismissed by Court in Opinion
 HandedDown Today

D. B. Femmer today lost his court suit against the City of Juneau in which he charged the City illegally contracted with the Northland Transportation Company to use the City Dock instead of Femmer's and used taxpayers money without pro- per authority in putting the City Dock in shape.
 Federal Judge George F. Alexan- der in handing down an opinion to- day, dismissed the action, holding that the City was within it's legal rights. Both litigants must pay their own court costs.
 In the opinion, the Court held the City had entered into no special arrangement with the Northland Company and that the City Dock was kept open to all traffic, the Northland taking it's turn with other vessels that might use the mooring.
 Femmer had sought to restrain the City from carrying out it's agree ment with the transportation com- pany.
