The Alpine Club "net in «=«><• :nl ses

Friday night and d . ed ways
> and means for Improvement in
every branch. This was the first
of a series of entertainments to he
; given by this steadily growing or
. ionization and plans were acted up
on for lessening the tedium of the
' long winter hours. Plays, dances.
informal gatherings, ami all for in
' provement. While all entertain
1 tnents are for Improvement in every
. way. the pleasure and sociability
I are not to he lost sight of. After
a talk by Mr. V. I. Halm, dancing
• and nuisic were the chief attrac
| tions of Friday's gathering. A his
fire blazed brightly in the open ire
place and around its cheerful
warmth, the members and guests
roasted marshmellows and told stor
ies. Kleven were added to the club
and there are more to follow. Each
member is pledged to get another
member or as many as he or she can
and each one Is to work. Only by
organized labor can the Alpine Club
or any other body succeed. Let
everyone interested in the welfare
of Skagwav give the Alpine Club
and all other improvement bodies a
good boost. I.et's begin today and
i keep at it.
"And no person folding a com
mission or appointment under the
Ciiitfd Slates shall be a member of
the Legislature or shall hold any of
fice under the government of the
territory."
The Territorial Legislature. Ses
sion of 1919, (act approved May X.
1919). created the office of Commis
sioner of Health of the Territory of
Alaska and thus provided for his ap
pointment in section 1:
"When possible the governor shall
appoint as Commissioner of Health
an officer of the I'nited States Pub
lic Health Service, who shall re
ceive in adition lo the salary pro
vided by the I'nited States, his ne
cessary office and contingent expens
es and a per diem allowance for
subsistence of $4.00," etc.
These two acts tieing in obvious
conflict, the Governor, some days
ago. brought the matter to the at
tention of the department and the
ruling on the question of eligibility
followed.—Juneau Capital.
REALLY AN OLD, OLD STORY j
The Younger Generation, It Would
Appear, Hat Always Been "Going |
to the Bow Wowa."
Ari> the children of today going to !
the bow-wows, or Is It Just an appear- ;
ance? Are the children of thla world ,
today worse In their (feneration than |
the children of yesterday? Let lis
take n census.
A volume of sermons printed In 1850
contains a wall from Dr. Lyman
Heecber about "the terrible lack of
parental discipline In these later days."
Or. Jonathan Kdwards made the
same Bloomy remark a hundred years
before, saying that children behaved
rudely and lacked the chastisement he
had received. ,
Going back two centuries we find the
famous Hugh Latimer, chaplain to Ed
ward VI, declaring that during his 80
years of observation the manners of
boys, their development at church and
their couduct toward parents had un
dergone a woeful declension.
John Knox remarked on the dlscour- :
aging signs of the times as to parents*
lack of authority over their sons.
Going hack to the Old Testament,
It seems that the same doleful views
prevailed among the Hebrews, for one !
of the prophets gives them this needed
warning:
"Say not thou, what is the cause
that the former days were better than
these? Thou dost not Inquire wisely
concerning this."
So that, tnklng It all around, we are
quite undisturbed about the present
generation. It Is probable that we
were Just 'lie same little fools that
they are—only a mere bit littler. We
have forgotten.
BAN PLACED ON EXPLETIVE
Some Spanish Priests Forbid Use of
Word "Caramba"—Good Story
in That Connection.
There is a church In La Utrnlra, Ven
ezuela. which is said to have been
erected with the proceeds of flues lm
poseil uimui the people of the parish
who profaned their conversation with
the »i'rti "carainha"—the common oath
among all classes of people—or with
stronger expressions. The church is
therefore called "La Iglesia de la
Sanctlsslma Caramba."
The word caramlia Is meaningless,
hut It Is constantly in the mouths of
all iteople. without regard to sex or
condition, and Is net usually considered
reprehensible. Hut now and then a
pious priest will he found who prohib
it-! Its use among the sheep and lambs
of liis (lock.
A story is told of three pious friars
who were traveling a hot and dusty i
road one day. driving a donkey which
bore their luggage. The beast became
obstinate, and linally lay down in the
dirt, much to the damage of their prop
erty. One of them, more impulsive
than the rest, forgot himself so far as
to utter the tlrst syllable of the for
bidden expletive, und said "Car!"
The second exclaimed "Kami" and the
third "Ha!" which completed the un
holy word, and thus expressed their
sentiments Jointly without Imperiling
their souls.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Odors in Apartmenta.
There are times in the city dwelling,
espei ally In an apartment, when just
before the arrival of guests the hostess
Is conscious of a deadly odor stealing
o'er the scene.
Instead of relying on the Incense
burner which must be carried from
room to room In such an emergency
and which often semis out only a fleet
ing fragrance. It Is a good plan to keep
on lam I a little oil of cinnamon. Fill
a shallow vessel with water and place
it on the stove. When It boils put In
a teaspoonful of the cinnamon oil. A
spicy odor will soon (HI the rooms. The
water should simmer slowly, but not
boil violently, after the oil Is added.
It is said that oil of lavender and
other fragrant oils will give the same
result. It Is rather amusing to keep
one's method of perfuming the home
a secret, as this will add to the Indi
viduality of one's setting.
Birth of Photography.
1'holograph} was cradled In obscur
ity. Centuries ago La cook. In Wilt
shire. was a thriving town, famous for
Its tapestries. Today it has a far
greater claim to fame, yet few people |
| outside the county have ever heard |
of it.
It was at Lacock that William Fox
| Talbot produced the tirst photograph.
The event preceded the announcement
of the discovery of the daguerreotype
by four years, and five years later—In
IS."1.)—Fox Talbot startled the scien
tific world by exhibiting a series of
photogenic drawings, as he called his
photographs, at the Royal institute.
Fox Talbot's village resting place Is
marked only by a plain stone—a tuon
: nuient which has been the subject of
I very few photographs.—London Mall.
Calling in Cairo.
j Foreigners who are compelled to
| live in Cairo sometimes take up their
residence In a remote portion of the
J city which Is not laid out with any re
I gard to the convenience of persons
i«lio are finding their way about. There
Is no system In the urrangeuient of
i the streets or houses and strangers
have great difficulty In finding any par
' titular location. A well-known doctor
undertook to furnish directions by
which the house of a friend could be
reached by a third party. Here are the
j "directions:" "The M—\s live In a!
bouse without a number In a street'
j without a na.iie next door to an Ar-|
J inentan butcher who. 1 think, has no]

Three more Wrangell men have,
entered the fox farming hr.-itios^
says the Wranpell Sentinel.
Peter Hehr, Cliff Baker and H> nr>
Lutro recently organized the I'vlnis
Bay Fox Company. Those gentle
men have leased a Group of four
islands in Pybus Bay. Frederick '
Sound. The islands are near the
coast of Admiralty island, and arc
on the opposite side of the sound
from Cape Fanshaw. This group j
of islands is admirably suited for
fox farming, being so close to each
other that the foxes may go from I
one island to the other at low tide
but there will be no danger of the j
foxes getting off the group.
Pylnis Bay is becoming a fox I
farming center. There are already
three successful fox farms in that |
vicinity.
The new firm will stock their is- ]
lands with blue foxes which they;
will obtain from the Ran Juan Fnrj
Company, whose farms are located
on the Sisters Islands, which are al
so located in Pybus Bay.
Messrs. Behrs. Baker and Lutro
are all outdoor men and will no
doubt succeed in their new under
taking. They have already put up
S00 smoked fish which will l>e used
as feed for the foxes during the
coming winter.
