Learn to Swim.
Swimming should k made a part of
our school training It is in some
schools already, out. instead of being
occasional. Ii should be compulsory.
Every sunui; r brings a pathetic string
of drowning accidents and nine out of
ten of these would not happen If the
people engaged knew how to swim.
Parents who protest against their lit
tle boys "g"mg swimming" for fear
they will lie drowned should rather
arse them to so so as to learn how to
avoid being drowned. .Not one Is
drowned trying to learn to swiiu to a
hundred drowned because they never
tried to learn. U Is a facility as easily
acquired as walking.— Uartford Cour

But hidea from the othera her un

"I am the flag of the wives who
wait
For ihe safe return of a martial
mate,
A mate gone forth where the war
god thrives
To save from sacrifice other men's
wives.
"I am the flag of the sweethearts

The often uuthought of—the sister

I am the flag of a mother's son
Ai d won't come down till the vic

FOR OS
Mrs. George Craig, who passed
through1 Skagway recently enroute
to her home lu Dawson, having been,
in London, England, lor more than
a year and whom, the Alaskan inter
I viev.ed while she was iu Skagway,
j nraiseg President "Wilson as a lead
er and compliments Skagway.
| In an article ia the Dawson News
she says: "i was astonished on
[ coming (o Canada, and finding what
| a ra«t difference there ia in the
j diet. The people of Canada must
| learn to conserve. Yukon must al
so get down to the war rations. I
J.was shocked here to find this com
munlv eating white bread, and in
dulging in cakes and many luxuries
| and with the baconless and beefless
days being observed only in res
taurants. The people must come
to realize it. The Americans have
evidently caught the idea, for on
touching Skagway, the only Ameri
can point I visited while enroute to
Dawson, I found they are on ra
tions or food restrictions which
hold down the allowance.
"The opinion prevails now that,
since the United States has come
in, that President Wilson ia the
gigantic personality of the Allied:
cause. He is regarded as a master
mind, and his statements and his
judgment have great weight with
the Allied cause. While the Am
ericans were slow In & way in com
ing in, it Is now regarded as some
what characteristic perhaps the way
a great democracy enters war as a
contrast to some of the old monar
chic! methds."
Not Fussy.
"There's one thing 1II say for them,
they're not u nervous iuiuily."
"How do you know?"
j "Every picture oh their walls is tilt
ed off the straight line, and I hey don't
seem to mind It u bit."—Detroit Free

"Charity begins at home."
"That's true, and It would he a hap

too, instead of downtown with the good
fellows in a barroom."—Detroit Free
