RANGER 4 GOES OX ROCKS
NEAR SCENE MARIPOSA WRECK
The gas boat Ranger 4, owned by
the Forest Service, was wrecked at
Strait Inland at 3 o'clock, Tuesday
last. The boat struck the reef on
which the Mariposa was wrecked,
and was almost submerged at once.
The only persons aboard at the
time the boat was wrecked were E.
P. Clark. R. H. Runyon and William
Brown. These men set out for the
shore in a row boat which they
reached with some difficulty owing to
tlu<re being a still current against
them.
Tiie accident was reported to For
est Supervisor Gardner at Ketchi
kan. and it is possible that he will
sviid the «Tahn to taKe the place of
the Hanger No. 3 temporarily. It is
also possible that the lighthouse ten
der Fern will be sent to the scene
of the wreck in an effort to salvage
the Ranger No. Four.
R. H. Runyon, one of the men who
was aboard the boat when she wa
wrecked barely escaped being drown
ed. He was sitting on the stern of
the boat, and when she struck the
reef he was thrown overboard. Not
being able to swim he would have
drowned had he not been rescued.
Forest examiner R. A. Zeller and
a party of 10 men -have beoti bcsy
for several weeks cruising timber
along the north end of Prince of
Wales island and also making a to

HAYS FINDS IT HARD TO
CONTROL MOVIE COUPLES
Los Angeles, Aug. 19.—"Movie
land" expects that its next sensation
will be the filing of divorce papers
within a week or two by Mrs. "Bill-'
Hart, notwithstanding the efforta of
Will H. Hays to prevent a separa
tion. Mrs. Hart was formerly known
to the screen faus as Winifred Wost
over.
The Harts were married December
8. 1921. Altho Miss Westover, her
self a film actress of note, first met
Mr. Hart three years before when
she joined as a member of bis sup
porting company. Their marriage
was n surprise even to Hollywood so

It develops that the Harts sepnr-1
ated three months ago. wheu Wini-,
fred left the Hart home In Hollywood. \
and moved to Santa Monica, where |
she is living with her mother. Mrs
Clyde Westover. Should she start
action for divorce, extreme cruelty I
will be the charge. If divorce pro-j
(■codings are not brought, it was said '
M-s. Hart may bring action against I
:tie famous screen hero's Sister, I
Mary, for alienating the affections
of "Big Bill." Mar> Hart is ill New

The famous film star has •submit

Will Hays, head of the movie In

over the numerous separations in

cently, Mr. Hays attempted, it is
said, to bring about a reconciliation
letween the Harts. Failing in this,
he turned his efforts to trying to
effect an amicable agreement of sep- j

that line, with the result in doulu.

Denver, Aug.—I would rather a
teacher would enter the school room
with progressive ideas and present
day customs of dress than one who
is us wise as Solomon as patient as
Job, anci us strong and persistent us
Cieesar.'*
Thus Miss Ivatherlne L. Craig,
superintendent of i ulilio instruction
in Colorado, answered the question:
"Do you endorse 'llapperism' among
school teachers?"
Miss Craig expressed the belief
that the early criticisms of "llapper
ism" and t..e objections to "flap
per" mannerisms wsre changing and
that approval of bobbed hair; short
dresses and gay personality is be
coming widespread.
Slie declared that the "up-to-date
teacher, modern in thought, modern
in accomplishments and modern in
dress" was tie best fitted for the
duty of influencing t ie child mind.
Miss Craig's statement, given to
the International News Service, said:
"Do 1 endorse 'flapperisra' among
teachers?"
Question of (icr.eial Concern.
"Your question is one that is of
general concern to the public at
1 iree. because of the word "flapper
ism." which has been coined in re
cent years, carrying with It the op
probrium of reproach, mingled with
contempt, and reflecting upon the
morals of the individual who adopt
ed a form of dress, short hair, and
an attitude of free thinking and gay
personality.
"This idea, as connectcd witn tno
dress of t'.ie present ago. is fast as
suming a different attitude toward
t K !irst opinions. Short dresses,
short sleeves, low-cut necks and
bohlied hair should not carry tlie
same wrong impression or convey
wrong ideas as in the beginning of
the adoption of new form of dress
and custom, hut now, if not car
ried to the extreme, it should be
regarded as sensible. reasonable
and comfortable, because it lends
grace, daintiness and docs not de
stroy dignity.
"As fur teachers adopting the new
styles or fads. I take the premise
that teachers are human beings, and
being human beings, they are liable
to all the frailties of other human
beings and have the same desires
ambitions and inclinations as other
human beings.
Teachers Should Be I'p-to-Pale.
"This being the case, there Is no
reason why a teacher should not
adopt a present up-to-date dress and
present up-to-date style of wearing
her hair and the custom of using
cosmetics, rouge, et cetra; provided,
however, that with it all is com
bined good judgment, common sense
and limitation. I would rather a
teacher would enter the schoolroom
with progressive ideas and present
day custom and dress than one who
is as wise 33 Solomon, as patient as
Job, and as strong and persistent as
Caesar. The up-to-date teacher—
progressive, one who lives in. the
present age. one who can see thru
the public eve, one who can dis
tinguish between ex:remes, good and
had habits and accepts reasonable
ness in styles and customs.
You in; People I nit'asonnwo.
"Young people are prone to go
beyond reason, therefore the need
of curb, but the trained individual
who announces to the world thru
she is qualified to determine all
things within reason need make no
mistake along the line of dress.
"Give me the up-to-date te.iciier.
modern in dress, modern in thought
modern in accomplishments and mod
ern In doing the things as required
in the teaching world. Give me tlie
teacher with a pleasing personality,
onfe who desires admiration from
pupils aud patrons alike and 3h i will
exert a lasting influence upon the
coming generation for good of civil
ization, morally, intellectually, ^so
chili^pd religiously."

"No." declared Senator Sorghum,
"lie knows I'm too good a politician
to refuse any request of his. and I
know he's too a politician to be
lieve everything that's promised."
Had Him Guessing.
"What's wrong?" asked Parker.
"You look worried."
"I am," replied his friend. "I wrote
two notes—one to my broker, asking
him if he took me for a fool, and the
other to Miss Holding, asking her if
she would marry me. While I was out
somebody telephoned 'Yes.' and 1 dou't
know which of them it was!"
