Plans are being made for a formal de- bate, which the public may at- tend, the question being: "Resol- ved, that Alaska should adopt the unicameral legislative system , MT. Pool and Miss Stubkjaer will coach the squads. As an advance study of the subject the History class is spending the week in practice debates on the respective merits of the bicameral and uni cameral systems.
 The organization of a future high school band is in progress. Through the cooperation of the members of the now non-exist- ant city band some instruments have been secured, and other stu dents plan to buy their own in- strunents. By next year a fairly good band should be in evidence judging from the enthusiasm ot the musicians and the unearthly sounds to be heard during prac. tioe hour.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29.-Rumors were 60
ing the rounds here today that Roxana Gloria
Spreckles, divorced from John Detrick Spreck-
els' heir to sugar fortune, was planning to
remarry.
The rumors were based on the fact the d.

convicts, after a three-day strike
against food conditions, were
placed in a 50-by15-foot building

GREEN CALLED.
"LIAR" BY LEWIS.
IN HARLAN ROW.
AFL President Scored
In Bitter Statement

0.N.S0 John L. Lewis, of the
CIO, called William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, q
liar here today for his statements
In connection with the labor agree.
ment for miners of the BarlaIl
county. KY, coal fields.
Lewis denunciation of Green,
his rival for leadership of organ
lied labor, was flung in words
that reflected the increasing bit
terneSs between the two men.
LEWIS STATEMENT
Green's statement is char
0cteristic of what might be ex-
pected from any traitorouS
renegade" Lewis said. 'The
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea spawned him and for many
years fed him. Since he has re-
signed from his union and con-
sorts with its enemies, it is not
surprising he should resort to
Misrepresentation and slander
with reference to specific mat
terS.
THE United Mine Workers Of
America has organized the Har-
Ian county coal fields and nego-
tiated with the coal operators a
standard wage agreement. It is
the same kind of agreement
which exists in all other bitumin-
GUS coal areas, and 1t contains
the same language and provi-
SionS. It means that industrial
peace has come to the long
terrorized and disturbed Harlan
mining communities.
CALLED LIAR
"The United Mine Workers
Of America has been the plain
tiff in all actions brought be-
fore the National Labor Rela-
tions Board from this field.
Naturally, it rested with the
United Mine Workers of America
to determine the degree to which
it would press the charges.
""The National Labor Rela-
tionS Board has nothing to do
with the contract which has
just been negotiated. The
United Mine workers of Amer
lea has nothing to do with the
criminal litigation instituted by
the Federal Government.

that he has information on this
subject is a lie, uttered by q

CHILDREN BACK.
from 7. B. CAMP.
AT BALD EAGLE.
Gained 6 to 10 Pounds
During Vacation

1t should be pleasant to write
Of the conclusion of a summer out
ing that has put six to 10 pounds
of healthy, sun-tanned weight on
1877 underprivileged tubercular
District Children at Bald Eagle
Health Camp.
Today marks the finish of their
vacation and every one Of them is
stronger, healthier, and happier
for it.
But it marks the beginning Of
their return to the same under.
privileged conditions from which
they fled last July 5, when the
camp opened.
LACK OF MILK
It means they come back to a
lack of that quart Of milk or
more" each day, i'll some cases.
Others will get the milk-but not
the cod liver oil. Most of them
will get the same crowded condi-
ton which menaced their health
and that of other District chill
dren. Nothing has happened in
their absence to give them more of
room they need.
For most Of them, too, there will
not be that rest the doctors say
is so vital to their recovery, for
none of these cases are bed"
cases; they are all in the first
stages, in which continued rest,
milk, eggs and cod liver oil would
cure them right at home.
BUILT UP RESISTANCE
The summer at the camp has
given them a certain resistance;
it has given them valuable train
ing that will remain with them.
But what Mrs. Ernest Grant, di-
rector of the District tuberculosis
Association, fears is that the lack
of the simple care which they
should have will put most of them
back to where, next spring, the
same pinched bodies and wan
faces will respond to the camp roll
call.
This years camp was composed
of youngsters from three to twelve
years old-the neeGiaSt of the
hundreds Of cases known to the
association.
FIFTEEN TO LOSE TONSILS
Some IS of the youngsters are
found to be in need of immediate
removal of their tonsils, and par
ents will be visited by association
workers tomorrow, in order to Sc
cure permission for the hoSpitali-
cations.
But it was a great day for the
campers. They are not so keen;y
aware Of the changes that face
them. They know they have had
a "Swell summer-that they have
good tans, that they feel good" "
They think the District Tubercu.
losis Association is a grand insti-
tuition.
