DIphTHERIA FAKES
 LIFE IN ANCHORAGE

According to information received by the Juneau office of the Ter ritorial Department of Health one native child died recently in An- chorage from diphtheria. At least two more cases have been reported in the vicinity.
 The child, Andrew Alex, six, was taken from Eklutna to the Railroad Hospital in an advanced stage of the disease.
 Death from diphtheria is es- pecially sad since it is the one di- sease which can be positively pre- vented by simple innoculation which immunizes a person for life,' local health officials stated.
 People living in Anchorage have been warned to have all their children immunized as soon as pos sible. The branch laboratory of the Territorial Health Department in Anchorage is making cultures from those contacting the cases and preparing biologicals to prevent the threatened outbreak of the disease which is so often fatal to small children.
 Parents have been urged again to have their children immunized. Stress is laid upon immunization before the child has reached his first birthday as fatalities are greater among children of this age. Immunization is much sim pier at that age and causes no dis comfort, it was stated.

The old baseball varsity of Babe

shellackings now from what used
no be the lesser breeds. But it
well may be that the thrill is only
temporary.
That's a young ball club, in the
Yankee regimentals Many OF the
brethren have forgotten TO re-
member that extremely vital fact.
Young ball clubs are wobbly,
like newly foaled colts, but they
mature faster. and they've been
known to become front runners
inside a couple of months.
'rhe Yanks may not have the
best ball club on earth al just this
breathless interlude, but they un-
doubtedly have. and always have
had, the best baseball organization
on this and all affiliated planets.
There's never been any binding
secret why they've been so sue
cessful in their particular line of
business. The formula for their
achievement is the same credited
by successful firms in all lines of
industry as the prescription for

Former police Lieut.. Daniel
Schoonover and two brother of
ficers convicted of obstructing
justice by spiriting a grand jury

fenced to very flexible prisou

sentence recommended for all.
Schoonover was given IA months
TO five years by Recorders Judge

George Scharf was given 10
months to five years and former
Sergt. John Lochridge, six months
to five years.

Of all three as policemen we're
commented on by Judge Van lille.
This is very distastefuI
duty for me-" he said.
Defense Counsel Charles Bartlett
pointed out 10 the court that the
three had a combined total of 50
years with the department and
had not a demerit among them.
That is the tragedy OF the
whole thing" replied the judge.
The three were charged with
paying Charles Bethel, Negro
numbers operator to stay out OF
town after they were accused by
the grand jury of accepting gam
bling graft.
He was to have been a witness
against them.
THEY MADE A MISTAKE
Ironically. said Judge Van Zile,
if they had not thus INSTRUCTED
Justice. they would have stood
trial on the original charge with
only Bethel as a witness against
them and would have stood
better chance of acquittaf than
here"
The probation report says OF
Schoonover that he was appointed
to the police department in 1922,
becoming a lieutenant 10 years
ago, and has four citationS-one q
departmental citation for killing a

Scharf also became a policeman
