Regularly these days I receive
letters from young people who have
attempted to mix finance with
romance and discovered, to their
sorrow, that there are dire conse-
quences. While it is pretty gener-
ally understood thai the girl who
lends money to her boy friend haz-
ards her chance to make a hus-
band out of him, it seems that she
can lose him with equal facility by
touching him for loan. The
sounding of that money note prior
to the ceremony sours the music of
love.
To begin with good taste doesn't
permit private banking business
to be conducted by an engaged
pair and don't think good taste
consists in arbitrary rules laid down
by conventional people. Invariably
there's common sense, logic and
experience underlying the laws OF
good taste.
Most of the young people who
have skipped these rules have
learned from bitter experience that
they shouldn't have done it; for the
girl that lends money to her boy
friend usually loses 10th and if she
turns tables and asks loan of him
she frequently meets with embar-
RAISING rebuffs, even though she
collects.
In the case of girl lends boy, the
is simple: borrower be-
ing servant TO the lender, no self
man can endure this re-
to his best girl. He's
compromised when he crawls up to
ask handout and he's ruined
when he accepts it. The very sight
of her reminds him of his hui
position and instead of
hating himself for the fix he's in
lie hates her. 1t won't be long until
he checks out.

CAROLINE CHATFIElD SAYS TODAY:
Finance Doesn't t Mix With Romance;
Lending Money to Boy Friend Sure
Way to Hazard Chance For Home

It's not so easy to explain why
a girls romance should explode in
her face when she ssks little
loan from the boy friend-for as a
husband he is pleased to have his
wife call on him for cash; it gives
him a sense of Importance that's
sweet to the masculine taste. 1t
must be that a boy friends suS-
picicn is aroused when his best
girl touches him for a loan. May
be he suspects her of being gold
digger, using him for good thing,
more interested in what she can
get out of him than in him. Ma
turally this suspicion would stab
his pride and set him to wonder
ing if he were being taken for
ride.
Beyond this there's an old prov
CRIB which may shed light on the
subject: Familiarity breeds con-
tempt. Certainly it destroys loves
illusions, rubs the bloom off ro-
nance and kills a mans zest for
matrimony Presumably boy meets
girl on rather familiar terms when
they touch one another for money
loans.
So this is why good taste forbids
the private banking business be-
tween the young people in love;
finance won't mix with romance
ar.d the effort TO mix them causes
no end of embarrassment. Worse.
either way the morey passes, the
man is likely to pass out of the
picture.

msCHA, COL0RFUL CHARACTER
CORD0VA INDIAN VILLAGE, DIES

CORDOVA - Mischa, colorfulI
character of the Indian village here
Tor many years died recently from
a heart attack.
A great many tales have been told
about Mischa, and many of The
stories have been enlarged upon as
they have passed along the years.
1t has been said that he was more
than a hundred years old but tn II e
is little fact to bear out this sta: e.
ment.
For many years he has been refer
red to as the Slave" and it has
been said he was a slave in the old
Russian regime, but as far as can
be learned, there are no facts to
substantiate this story. He VAS
thought to be of Aleut descent.
Mischa was a hunchback, caused
by fall when he was only tiny
baby. and this deformity had kept
his height down until he was per-
haps not much more than four seet
tall. This, in combination with his
lined face, gave him the appearance
of a very old man.
Mischa never learned the English
language and made himself under
stood. with difficulty. by means of
a few words, sounds and gestures.
He was a hard worker and vas a
familiar character in the Indian viii
lage and occasionally in town,
where he was often seen with sack
of clans over his back or carrying a
chunk of wood or other useful
article nearly as large as himself.
He lived alone in a small cabin
for the past two years nd it is said
his cabin was always spotlessly
clean. The Indian service provided
him with sufficient food and neces-
stiles.

SENATOR SAYS NATL PARK
BREEDING GROUND WOLVES

FAIRBANKS - A factual picture
of Mckinley National Park as an in
cubator for predatory animals. was
presented to the Tanana Valley
Sportsmen's Association meeting by
Senator Victor Rivers.
The senator stated that the $780,
600 appropriated by the last terri
torial legislature Tor bounties was
exhausted in one year, and that
there Is now another deficit against
the bounty fund.
An investigation by the legislators
revealed, Senator Rivers said, that
two-fifths Of all bounty payments
were made in the fourth Division.
Meanwhile, wolf and coyote de-
predations among caribou, sheep
and moose continue on the increase.
Mckinley Park, an area OF more
than 1900 square miles, provides a
safe breeding ground Tor wolves
actually an incubator for the pred
atory animals.
Although park rangers are auth
Ortzed to kill wolves. only four have
been killed there in the last lour
years, the senator said.
The theory has been that the
park should be a natural wlidlife
area, but the nature idea has work
ed out for the benefit OF the wolves
and coyotes The park has become
a sanctuary for the predators which
deplete the bands OF mountain sneep
caribou, and moose.
Senator Rivers recently spent "A
months in the park as construction
engineer on the new hotel project,
and he had many opportunities to
view the predatory animal problem
at first hand.
He blames the bureaucratic type
OF management of the park by tue
National Park Service, for the de-
plorabIe condition.
The rangers he said, ARE COM
petent men able to cope with the
task OF killing off the wolves, but
the management does not allow
them TO do the necessary patrolling.
Instead, they are kept too much at
camp headquarters doing mental
JOBS"

CORNELIUS SUES GOVERNMENT
FOR $1,000 IN DAMAGE SUIT

Otto Bindpage left Ketchikan on
the steamer Alaska for Seattle to
appear as a witness in the suit of
L. B. Cornelius of Petersburg
against the government for collec-
ton of $4,000 in damages for in
juries sustained while serving as
a mail agent
Cornelius contends the injuries
were received when a cargo sling
was lowering him to a launch over
the side of the General w. C. Cor
gas ON January 6, 1897 when the
Gorgas was operated as relief ship
during a maritime strike.
When the sling slipped, Cornelius
asserts, he received strains which
later resulted in hernia and neuritis.
The case is to be tried in admir-
atty court in Seattle. George Folta,
assistant district attorney at Ju-
neau, went to Petersburg last week
to take dispositions from witnesses
tor the government.
