Delegate, Home for Visit, Sure Congress Won't
 Lower Bars

Not ten votes could be obtained in either house of Congress for a proposal to lower immigration bars to Alaska, Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond said today in referring to eff forts to colonize the Territory with refugees.

II here ire The Ghosts?

J ears ago a favorite evening di-
version was the telling of ghost
stories. The lights would be
tanned low to give a kind of spirit
atmosphere. The Pickering fire
on the hearth was often the only
light. and its weird reflections
mode the auditors feel creepy.
The narrator would tell the tale
i'll grisly tones. When it was
completed, the hearers would
look over their shoulders appre-
henaively. half expecting to see
some sheeted form appear in the
se-ni-darkness. In those days
many people dared not pass any
cemetery at night Towns usual
~ had some haunted house, some
old dwelling which was rented
only with great difficulty, since it
was supposed to be haunted by
some restless spirit who fingered
near the scene of his old sOr-
rows. Stories of returning spirits
and other supernatural occurren-
ces figured largely in novels.
The attention given to these
tales was an indication that many
people believed in them. They
were ready, if queer noises hap
pened about house, to attribute
them to ghosts, instead of such
natural causes as flapping blinds
or the signing Of the wind thru
cracks in the roof.
Today the ghosts seem to have
faded out. If there are any
haunted houses, it is doubtful if
the owners have any trouble rent
ing them. The young people no
longer dread the cemetery, and
they consider it a nice secluded
place for their amorous manifes-
tatiCns. And it is many years
since anybody has told us any
ghost story.

This is the season for lightning
nd there seems to be more light
ling this season than for years
Judging by the casualty reports IN

more lightning, at least it's aim
GEMS to be more deadly.
Time was, especially in the
cast, when every farm house and

rods. Today these are almost a

arge sums from the agrarians for
Inferior jobs. These installations
would have saved many lives and
property damage this sum-
mer, however.
There are few if any reports Of
being struck by light
ming. 1t is claimed that in an au-
tomobile is one OF the safest
places to be during an electrical
storm. The rubber tires are held
to be insulation against damage
from a bolt. Trees, however,
should be stunned when lightning
is cracking to the right and left.
Trees in the great open spaces are
struck more often than any other
object.

Murphy said that the modern par
ent who uses the back of a hair
brush as the instrument of pun
ishment spanks scientifically.
The hairbrush, he believes, is
more beneficial than the rod or
the switch because the child is
lot hurt unduly and the brush is
lot damaged. A further testimon-
al to its efficacy is to be found
in the fact that ever since the
4airbrush was first invented it
las been used by more discrimin-
1ting parents for this incidental
purpose.
Dr. Murphy's contribution Of his
seasoned opinion to the best
thought on moot and important
question will be appreciated by par
ITS who, in these difficult days
Of juvenile independence, are very
often torn by doubts. The hair
brush it shall be from this time

Efficacy of Hawbrush

Oldsters who believe that the
fine art of spanking a stubborn,
headstrong child has been lost
with the advance of years and

ceive with incredulity the infor-
nation that, far from being lost,
it has taken on new aspects of

The truth of the matter is that
spanking in years gone by, when

Gathering many statistics, che

There were 10000 auto traffiC
fatalities last year, Of whom II.
900 were pedestrians.

pressed on every one, children a
we'll as adults, that greater care
'hOuld be used in crossing streets.
1t has been emphasized many
times it is in the interests of life
to "cross crossings carefully" But
in too many cases the pedestrian
doesn't use the crossing at desig-
mated places where there are traf
fir lights affording a measure Of
safety.
The walker may save some eff
fort by crossing street on the
diagonal. But by reason Of such
action he is not able fully to see

preaching traffic is almost direct

estimate their car performance
