EASTER IN THE AIR

With cold weather and late SHOWS
occasionally, there will be no Easter
flowers in Wrangell yards this
year. but there is Easter music in
the air. From the very earliest ser
vice of Easter Day, paeans Of praise
and glad hosannas will be sung
wherever an Easter service is held,
and to that end, practices have gone
on steadily.
For the men who comprise the
chorus which will give a concert
later in the spring, the weeks have
been decidedly busy In addition TO
the chorus work under the direction
OF Mrs. J. ]. Coulter, a dozen Of the
men belong to the choirs of the
Catholic, Episcopal and Presbyterian
churches and the Easter music has
required special preparation.
A year ago, two visiting male
choruses gave fine programs here and
the idea of a Wrangell Male Chorus
was born at that time That more
than twenty men were found to
compose this chorus is a matter to
rejoice over and every individual
who heard the selections which they
sang at the st. Patrick Day tea is
a booster for the concert-to-come.
The fact that SO many of them are
taking part in the Easter programs
has been an inspiration to those
who love good sacred music, and it
is expected that all the church
services will be we'll attended.

GIRL WALKS NORMALLY
FIRST TIME IN LIFE

FAIRBANKS - Little Jean Wax
berg, for the first time in her life
is walking without a limp. Her feet,
lame from birth, have been COM
pletely reformed to normal use.
The girl left Fairbanks last No
Yember for Portland, Oregs to re-
ceiVe treatment in the Shrine hos
pital there for congenital club feet
Her entrance into the institution
was arranged by Clarence J. Wool
ter, then president of the Fairbanks
Shrine Club.
$50 on Waiting List
When the application for entrance
was first made there were $50 Grip
pied children on the hospitals wait
ing list, and the institutions staff
had some misgivings about accept
ing the Fairbanks girl because she
was more than IL years of age, and
the hospitals age limit for new pa
tients is 10.
However, Mr.. Woofter and Frank
Lazier, recorder of Nile Temple, Sc
attic, with which the Fairbanks
Shrine Club is affiliated succeeded
in having the Waxberg girl entered
as an emergency. The treatment &C
corded has produced 00-per-cent
results.
The little girl on her return to
Fairbanks was greeted by her par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. Al Waxberg,
whose home is in Graehl, Mr.. Wool
ter, Brice H. Howard, president of
the Fairbanks Shrine Club at the
present time, and by all her class
mates in the sixth grade OF the pub
lie school.
The Portland hospital is only one
of the II institutions Shriners
maintain in different parts of the
country to restore crippled children
to normally. The service is free TO
the patients.
Treatment by Specialists
The treatment received at the
hospitals is donated by leading ply
sicians and surgeons, and the in
situations are maintained by 50 tax
en- from the annual dues of every
Shriner.
When the building program now
under way by Shriners is completed
there will be Fl such institutions in
the United States.
The service is given children ir-
respective of color, creed, condition
in life, or lodge affiliations of par
ents.

I.V. on Proposed
New Highway Route
Across Country

Imperial Valley will be on the
route of the proposed extension of
U. s. highway No. 81, the new
Pilgrims to Padres road from Ply
mouth Rock to San Diego if plans
made in San Diego are completed.
The present Carlsbad Cavern

No. 80 through Imperial Valley,
Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Ccntro Chamber of Commerce, said.
At the same conference in San

designation U. S. No. SO for the
inland TO Blythe road
Both of the applications for
highway number designations will
be presented to the summer meet
ing of the American Association of
State Highway officials scheduled
to meet in the cast this year Hays
said, The numbers are desirable, Inc

$6 100000 telephone industry,
dominated by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, the
operating associates of which make
up the Bell system.
The investigation found that the
Bell system averaged profits of
seven per cent per year on its in
vestment from 1913 to 1885. This,
the FEC charged, appears "unu-
sually high for a system engaged
in rendering public service
Other charges cited included eX-
penSive cultivation of public good
will; improper influence" on legis-
lative and regulatory bodies; and
the withholding of patents cap
able of improving service and de-
creasing cost.
The report criticized the opera
tions of the Western Electric COM
pany. wholly -owned manufacturing
subsidiary of the A. T. & T. CO.,
whose net earnings, it said, aver
aged over 81 per cent annually.
The A. T. & T. co. management

controls prices of telephone appar-
atuS and equipment purchased by
its operating subsidiaries through
it's ownership of western Electric,
the report said. This control, it
added, May be repugnant to the
spirit of the anti trust laws of the
United States"
1t suggested that competition
would be desirable in the field of
equipment manufacture and might
result in lower prices and higher
efficiency for telephone users.
The commission recommended
that the communications act of
1894 be amended to:
l. Authorize the FEC to pre-
scribe basic cost accounting meth
ods to be followed by manufactur-
ing companies under contract with
the Bell system to permit the fed
eral agency to determine if equip
ment prices are reasonable.
2. Make applications for consoli-
dations of telephone companies
subject TO the act mandatory. The
law now makes such applications
optional.
3. Require approval by the COM
mission of acquisitions of the stock
Of company by another company
for purposes of control.
4. Authorize the commission to
order the exchange of patent rights,
upon payment of reasonable COM
pensation when required by public
interest.
5. Require commission approval
of the issuance or refunding of Sc
curities of telephone companies.
6. Prevent the abandonment of
interstate lines by telephone COM
panies without authorization from
