TREATS, TRICKS!
 TWAS BIG NIGHT

Juvenile Juneau had a big time last -Hallowe'en
 The juveniles started long before ' o'clock, in gangs of three up to a dozen, on their treats or tricks treks, calling at houses and going away full-handed The juveniles, for the most part were equipped with shopping bags, into which they deposited their loot and scrambled for the next stop.
 The kids report most successful raids and those in homes where there were no children responded to the ringing of the doorbell and "dished out" just the same as homes with children.
 Some of the kids went home with full bags, emptied them and returned to join the gang" for a refill"
 The foot" included apples, pears, bananas, cookies of all kinds, candy, hard and soft, including all-day suckers, and it is cinch there were many tummy aches this morning.
 One householder said this morn ing he handed out one box of apples, besides II dozen cookies. Another resident purchased $2 worth of suckers and they dis appeared before the raid-night was half over.
 The kids were very orderly, some windows in the residential sections being soaped and downtown, few windows escaped the annual daub- ing. Garbage cans disappeared and a few gates, that had not been taken into the house, were missing this morning.
 Yesterday afternoon the lower grades of the schools had Hal lowe'en parties, with eats, ther several parties were held at homes, al ltcl oCiiOOl Wdo Out, dilo d6d4li, parties for the kids were given just before starting on their raids. Yes, Juneau youngsters had a mighty fine time last night, and townspeople cheerfully entered into the spirit of things, realizing that Kids Night comes but once a year. However, Halloween is over and it is hoped that the children will appreciate the fact and not take advantage of the good humor of the adults by ringing doorbells again tonight.

He was born. the report goes,
about 81 years ago somewhere in

Ell PASO. Tex. Dec. 1 CUP)-
ALBERT B. Fall. former secretary
Of the interior, died yesterday, old
and almost penniless. but conf
mt to the end that history would
Y6me day clear his name of the
part he played In the notorious
Teapot Dome and Elk Hills oil
scandal that rocked President
Harding's administration.
His body was found last night
by sisters at the Catholic Hos
pital where he had spent the last
two years. Fall, who was SO
years old last Sunday, had been
under treatment for arthritis
which had crippled him until he
could no longer walk.
CONVICTED IN 1929
Fall virtually disappeared from
the public eye in 1929 when he
was convicted of bribery In con-
nection with the leasing of the
Elk Hills oil reserve to Edward
L. Doheny, wealthy California oil
man and one-time prospector
friend.
The conviction followed a long
court battle which had started
five years previously with the in
vestigation into the Teapot Dome
and Elk Hills oil reserves to
Harry Sinclair and Doheny.
Fall had served eight years as
q senator from New Mexico when
President Harding appointed him
secretary of the interior In 1921.
QUIT AFTER TWO YEARS
Two years later he handed In
his resignation, saying that he
disagreed with the governments
policy on Alaska, and the whole
Conservation policy" with regard
to national resources.
Several months later the scan
dial in connection with the leasing
of the oil reserves broke and Fall
was summoned TO Washington to
testify in the investigation.
For some unexplained reason,
Fall had accepted $1,000 from
Rpheny and il was charged that
took il for a bride for leasing
Ne lands to the oil magnate.
Doheny said il was a loan.
In the long legal battle that
followed, Fall was acquitted of a
conspiracy charge but convicted
for bribery.

The psychiatrists' offices fill
up with people whose consci-
ences are on the warpath, ha-
RAISING them with worry and
remorse over small scrupulosi-
ties. One woman heard a SER
mon on the text: Every idle
word that men shall speak, they
shall give account thereof IN the
day of judgment" That text
haunted her. Her conscience be-
came absorbed in remorseful re-
membranes OF all her idle
words-the natural chit-chat of
daily conversation. She was in
for it on the day of Judgment!
Her conversation dried up as
though a drought had struck it;
charm and humor left her; she
: ceased visiting her friends, and
they in turn deserted her, she
plunged head foremost into a
breakdown from which with diff
ficulty psychiatric treatment at
last released her.
Such conscience completes
in milder forms are among
the most familiar human ills.
Mothers, too metlculouS about
details, become painfully fin
icky in dealing with their chill
dren. Youths, facing for the
first time the normal facts of
sex, become prescriptions con-
corning entirely tura
