; League Meets Tomorrow
The Alaska Women's Patriotic
League, Skagw&y chapter, will
meet In special geasion in. the Skag- 1
way Red Cross rooms of the Bank
of Alaska building tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock. All members are
urged to be present and everj;
'womac in Skagway is invited. The |
purposg of the meeting will be to '
decide on plans with, which to raise (
funds for the endowing, or helping
to endow, a bed for Alaskan boys in
the Washington hospital at Neuilly,
France.
The object of the Patriotic
League is to enlist the women of
tho Territory of Alaska for person- I
al service in ajiy capacity which will
contribute to the efficiency of the
forces called to arms for the de
fense of our country.
Throughout all the United States
lu the various communities, and
throughout Alaska, the women are
giving o£ their time to secure funds
with which, to endow a bed in
French hospitals where their own
boys will roceive particular care.
$600 will provide the bod, a surgeoq
and a nurse for one year; Alaska
will probably liave several 6uch.
beds, and Skag^ay will be called
upon tomorrow to do its share in
making the life of her wounded
boys easier and happier.
As one of our exchanges aptly
puts it "Be it said in a voice as
strong as the name of John Han
cock l .oked, in a long past criti
cal hour, that nowhere can there
be found more patriotic hard work
ing, loya' American women than the
women of Alaska.

The wives of several army officers
on the train assisted, and the pro

over to the Portland Chapter.
In Seattle, the Union Saviings

in which depositors are urged to
own a pavings account, allowing
the i>iini-;pai to stand but donating
the accruing interest each May

In another part of Seattle, Prof.

CONQUERING THE CRAMP.
Rules a Swimmer Should Follow Whan
an Attack Comes Or..
A cramp is merely u contraction of
the muscles caused by the penetration
of the cold. Obviously it could not of
itself cause drowning. Its worst effect,
according to (lie Popular Science
.Monthly, is to cause a panic which
throws the swimmer o(T ills guard,
causing him to let the air out of his
lungs and thus allow the nir passages
to become tilled with water. The safe
guards against such panic are absolute
confidence in tlK' tiojting power of the
body and a ('.cmonsiiable knowledge of
the proper way to till the lungs quickly
to utmost capacity with air.
The inonie.it a cramp is felt the swim
mer should turn on his back and begin
to gulp the air. making no effort to
keep himself from sinking. As he
sinks lie slowly exhales under water,
through the mouth, with the lips
puckered us for whistling. If it is a
stomach cramp the knees will be drawn
up against the abdo-.ue.i, but the swim
mer should force ilicni out, pushing on
them with both ha::.:s and using nil his
strength until tlie.v -e fully extended.
This will no iloiint c:u".30 great pain
for a few so -oiuls. but as soon as the
legs are straightened out the cramp
will vanish, and the hotly, buoyed up
by the air in the lungs, will shoot up
to the surface. There, still inhaling In

In case of cramp in the leg or arm the
same system of breathing is followed,
tnd the affected part is straightened

FAMILIAR WITH GREATNESS, j
Mere Generale Didn't Improis the j
American Camera Man.
A story told-by Francis A. Collins in .
the Cameru Man shows that the direct
methods of the American news photog
rapher are not affected by surround
ings that might cause others to grow
self conscious.
A newspaper assigned a:i American
to make u portrait of General von
Hissing In the palace in Brussels. The
photographer applied for permission to
Ihe authorities at Cerlin, v/lio received
him courteously and, afto;- consider
able formality, detailed an oliicer to
accompany him to Brussels. An ap
pointment was made, and the two were
admitted to the general s loom. Pre
viously, however, ii had been explained
to the American that under no circum
stances was he to address the general.
Tlie officer begun his explanation, but
became confused at finding himself
face to face with so distinguished a
personuge.
"Your excellency," he began, "we
have come from Berlin—that is, if you
will be so kind"— In his confusion he
came to a full Flop.
General von Hissing was seated ut u
desk and seemed to be very busy. The
American photographer stepped for
ward.
"General, 1 am an American," he be
gan without embarrassment.
"I see that," said the general, with a
■mile.
"I have come to take your picture,"
the photographer added without wastfl
of time.
The situation was unprecedented.
The officer stood aghast.
"Very well," replied General von
Biasing. "Go ahead. What do you
want me to do?"
"If you will step to the window,"
the photographer explained. "Now
step this way, a little farther, please.
N'o; this way." And to the horror of
the attending offlecr the photographer
laid his hand on the general's arm and
arranged the pose. The picture was
:aken In a few seconds.
"Thank you, general," said the un
ibashed American easily.
"I hope your picture turns out well,"
replied General von Biasing, and the
interview was over. Once they were
)utslde the door, the officer expostu
ated:
"How did you come to address his
•xcellency? It Is most unprecedented,
ind you laid your hand on him. How
.'ould you do so?"
"Meln Ueber freund," raid the Amer
can, "I have photographed three Amer
can presidents, and a general more or
ess is nothlnc to me."
