Careless Smokers
Menace to Public
1'ocatello. Idaho. June.—Smokers
ami users of matches caused destruc
cion by (ire of property in the United
States during the five years, 1915
1919 inclusive, according to A. It.
Canfield. chief of the fire depart
ment, who today started a special
campaign against the careless smok
ers of this city.
"I am not criticizing the habit of
smokers," said the chief today, "but
I do centre the careless persons who
thoughtlessly cast lighted matches,
cigar and cigarette stubs into waste
baskets. rubbish piles, out of win
dows of oitice buildings onto the awn
in.as below, or other places wuere
combustible material is present. ■
"t'onsidering that the American
public consumes over 7.271.000,000
cigars, more than 42.456,000,000
cigarettes yearly, and 700,000,000
matches daily, it is not surprising
that we have so many fires from this
hazard. The mileage of the cigarettes
used in the course of a year would
stretch a distance almost five times
the length of America's steam rail
ways. This large consumption does
not excuse the loss, however, bat
makes it evident that stringent pre
cautious are necessary.
"I'ufortunately," continued the
chief, "there is considerable loss of
life and property by burning because
of reuk'ess employes in factories, gar
ages. shops and other places of busi
ness who snatch a smoke when the
foreman is not looking. If discovery
threatened the smoker is likely to
u.'t rid of his cigarette, cigar or pipe
;iS rapidly as possible with iittle
thought as to where it is laid.
"There have been numerous cases
w'-..»re fires have started in this way.
; one New York sliirt waist tactorv
an operator threw a lighted cigarette
stub into cotton scraps oj) tlie floor
ami as a result of his thoughtlessness
Ml gills lost their lives in thtf lire
and panic that followed.

To p:.nv of business which was hnrn
i d out some few weeks ago. In fact.
okers are responsible for a greater
portion of our fire losses than any
ii ; or agency except improperly used
• leetricitv and electrical appliances.
"!t is an obvious truth that the
An ciican public is constitutionally
careless and prone to "take a
chalice." That Is the reason we have
siti-h heavy Pre losses as compared

J "The proper time to figlit a fire
j Is before it occurs, and I am going
to ask emplojers ol' this city tn en
force their 'No Smoking' rules and
be more careful themselves. Fire is
a community proposition and not a
personal one. although there are not
many people who realize this fijct.
"The way to reduce the number of
(ires due to the use of matches and
smoking materials Is to make sure
that neither lighted matches nor to
bacco embers are ever disposec) of In
unsafe places. Break your match
sticks in half after using them, and
stamp upon your cigar and cigarette
stubs, if pou are outdoors. Indoors
use a glass, metal or china ash re

MIKE NOLAN HAS A
MUIiLIANT I'PPER STORY
Seattle, Wash., June 13.—Mich
ael Nolan, 42-year old University of
Washington engineering student, to
day Was characterized by university
authorities as "ono of the twenty
five most brilliant minds in the Unit
ed States" following his feat in mak
ing a perfect score—212 points—in
the army "alpha" intelligence test.
Nolan required only 13 of the 17
minutes allowed in which to complete
the test, llis feat was unequalled, so
far as is known here, by any of the
approximately 3,000,000 service men
who took the test during the war.
Dr. K. I«. (Jutherie, professor of psy
chology at the university, said the
best previous record of 207 points in
17 minutes was made by a Yale I'ul
versity professor while an officer in
the army. The highest score known
to have been made by any university
student was 206. The average for the
army was 135,
.MJIUU » CUUIUIIUU in ivi w uinmi,
the university last year, was confin
ed to 7 grades in an Irish grammar
school. He had been a lumberjack
longshoreman ai.d jack of all trades.
Within four weeks after entering a
Canadian base hospital to which lie
was invalided during the war, he
iiualilied as an expert bacteriologist.
lie is now carrying the maximum
number of hours allowed for credit
in the university and attends classes
without credit for 20 additional
hours a week. He was sent (o the
university by the federal board for
vocational training.
The "alpha" test given Nolan was
the regular army intelligence test
given officers and enlisted men dur
ing the war. The major test consists
ot eight minor tests, only one of
which was to any extent an informa
tion test.
The "alpha" test givetaoinui,b!er
The general information tests re
cently formulated by Thomas Edisou
and given wide publicity throughout
the I'uited States would have been
easy for Nolan, according to univer
sity psychologists. He recently pass
ed perfectly in ono minute and ten
seconds an information test of sixty
questions. One of the questions ask
ed was the meaning c.f such words as;
Ageratum, architrave, chamfer, cler
stogamous, Elohim, gambit, guimpe,
intaglio, metacarpal, mitosis, nada,
pomology, rococo and simony.
MINING NEWS
Word has been received that the
samples taken from the E. Johnston
property at C'arcross have not been
assayed as yet by the Treadwell in
terests, so that nothing definite has
bee done. It is expected in Car
cross that word will be received in
the very near future.
It is very probable, in view of the
general interest taken by the many
mining men in the W'heaton district
that immediate action will be taken I
by some of them as the first there
will naturally have the best oppor-1
tunity.

mass of data and letters now under
consideration by President Harding's
commission, consisting of Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood and W. Cameron
Forbes, former governor general of
the Philippines, who are here inves
tigating conditions in the island, if
became known today.
The mass of documents were re
ceived by the commission os the re
sult of its extended visit through the
northern provhe of Luzon. The
commissioners have been busy since
their return hero on May 30 in class
ifying and coiiclde/ing the data. Al
though most el the letters are con
fidential, it is under *:ooi that the
Democrata party which has only one
member in the insula.' legislature has
alleged that the Nationalists organi
zation seized tli power of govern
ment in the islands through unfair
methods.
The complaints received by the
commissioners on many subjects in
the various provinces visited will be
referred to the bureaus having juris
diction over the unsatisfactory mat-,
ters, which will be asked to report J
on them, it was announced today. I
The mission made public its inten-|
tion to spend much of its time here
in ascertaining whether the adminis
tration of justice has been impartial
and whether all prisoners are given
a fair and speedy trial.
-lteginning next week the commis
sion will visit the provinces near
.Manila holding meetings at the cap
ital of each province, and at most
of the larger municipalities. As on
the trip thru the northern provinces
all persons will be invited to ex
press tlieir views on independence
and other subjects both at private
conferences and at public meetings.

Yesterday was the anniversary of
the unveiling of tlie monument to1
our fallen townsmen—we shall nev
er. no never, forget Juue 9th 1920,
when Whitehorse assembled!
en masse to take part in that most
impressive ceremony. A wish was
then expressed by one of the speak-1
ers that we ought to remember our
gallant dead by assembling at the
monument on every June 9th.
The school children marched to
the monument yesterday morning,
where their principal delivered a
short address on patriotism. The
elder scholars recited, one of whom!
repeated the poem spoken last year:
"We, pupils of the Whitehorse
school.
Will ne'er forget our loyal dead;
By their example we-will rule
Our future life, our heart, our
head.
"When wo this ceuotaphy pass by,
We'll think of duty, courage, zest;
And for their sakes we'll try
Each day to do our very best.
"We girls with patriotic pride
Will teach the babes this fervent
prayer,
'God bless the Whitehorse men who
died,
That Canada should aye he fair.' "
After a pause of a few minutes
with bowed heads amid intense si
lence the scholars sang "O Canada."
and the National Anthem"
Each child then saluted the names
of the fallen heroes and after plac
ing a wreath at the foot of the mon
ument, returned to their school.
In the evening the members of the
I. O. I). E. assembled at the monu
ment to do hono'ur to the .-pen whom
they never forgot during the Grrat
War.—Whitehorse Star.

WEEKS FIRES FRESH CXERK
Washington, June 13.—Secretary
Weeks has dismissed from the gov
ernment service Robert J. Quinn. a
clerk in the adjutant general's office
on charges growing out of the pub
lication in The Reclassificationist, a
small magazine published here of a
serial story in which Major General
Peter C. Harris, adjutant general of
the army claims that he and Colonel
Frederick \V. Lewis, an officer in his
department were subjected to ridi
cule. Quiiui is editor of the Reclassi
fiiiationist.
According to the rocord in the case
which was made public today by
Elizabeth X. Barr, assistant editor of
tlio magazine, the serial story had as
its principal characters "MajorlnK
inpen" and "Captain Rare Horse."
Quinu denied any malicious intention
to ridicule the officers and as a coun
ter charge asserted that General
Harris had failed to organize a per
sonnel bureau in the adjutant gen
eral's office as directed by congress
last year but that he had reported to
the chief of stuff that such a bureau
had been organized.
It also was charged by Quinn that
General Harris had used the govern
ment printing office for his own
personal work in connection with the
preparation of a publication relating
to his son, Captain Chas. D. Harris.
General Harris was directed by
Secretary Weeks to refund to the
treasury a sum sufficient to cover the
cost to the government of printing a
booklet commemorative of the gener
al's son killed in France. Secretary
Weeks said Gen. Harris had caused
the type to be set in the war depart
ment printing office and that while
the total expense probably would not
exceed $10 of $12 it was manifestly
improper for a government official to
use official material and equipment
for such a purpose. No action would
be taken, the secretary added, on the
other charges set^forth in Quinn's
reply, Mr. Weeks characterizing them
as "trivial" and not founded on fact.
