Washington, Jan. 14.—The heavi
est food contracts in the history <jf
the world have heen let within re
cent days to fourteen of the great
packing houses of the United
States. These large orders have
necessitated night work as well as
th» lacreaed employment of women

Miss Mary MacDowell, Director of
th» University Settlement work at
tb» Chicago stsock yards, also
chairman of the Committee on For
vign-Born Women of the Committee
cn Women In Industry of the Ad
visory Commission of the Council of
of National Defense, found on in
vestigation that many women were
accenting employment in the pack
ing houses for night work after
their day of labor at home, with
the consequence that some of them
ODt?ined one hour of sleep iu the
twenty-four. As a result of her ef
for's to correct this situation lh(
packers have promised not to em
ploy women with chil-drem under &i:
years of age for night work.

HIS SEXTON'S SUGGESTION.
It Was Meant to Bo Sarcastic, but It
Hit Dr. Halo Just Right.
The sex ton of Edward Everett Hale's
church stifii'.'ed from I lint convenient
form of dee.fuess ilmt prevents a man
from hearing what ho (lues not wish to
hear and enables him to hear what he
does wish to heir. Oca tonally when
sweeping the sidewalk In front of the
church some stronger would ask him
for Information, and his usual answer
was a wave of the hand. "I'm totally
deaf, totally deaf. Von will have to
| ask some otic in tile church."
It often happened th.it I»r. Hale in
the midst of a litisy day would find the
luncheon hour fit hand ir.id an Impor
tant appointment still unmet. It was
Ids custom to Invite 1:1s caller Into his
study and ask the Jnnitress to make an
oyster stew. 1'he sexton resented l»r.
Hale's informality.
The time cu:..e for a new :.li.n to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Dr. Hale and the assistant pastor were
standing in the vestry aisle dlseussing
Just what the wording of It shrtuld be.
To their surprise the conversation was
suddenly lnterrupt'-d by the deaf sex

Frank Slavin, one time champion
heavy weight boxer of the -world,
known in Skagway where he gave
an exhibition. match with the great
P-Uer Jackson, is back from the
trenches in Europe.
Slavin is a Klondiker, and passed
through Skagway about two years
ago on his way to join the Canadian
army. He arrived in Canada, back
from the front, a short time ago
ani is at the present time on fur
lough. He is 56 years old.
When the war broke out Slavin
was working as mining engineer in
the Yukon. He at once offered his
I services but was rejected on
eouut of his age. Later when a
Northwestern battalion was formed
the officers in charge wanted fron
Uersmen and enlisted Slavin as their
first recruit; he in turn enlisted
SOU men. He refused a commission
in the army because he had person
ally promised the men whom he
had recruited he would remain in
the ranks with them.
In England Slavin won the heavy
weight championship of his brigade.
The old Slavin's most famous fight
was against Jem Smith in 1889 for
the championship of England. The
baUle was fought out of doors on
December 23 with bare knuckles.
Slavin had knocked Smith down re
peatedly and was winning when a
g-Mig of toughs, armed with sticks
and "knuckle dusters" jumped Into
j tb^ ring and broke up the fight.
eve>- anil was acknowledged, cham
pion o' England. Later he received
the title of world champion on a
technicality, which title h<j held
for only a sort time. In 1902 ho
was knocked out in London. by
Peter Jackson, the same fighter witt
whom Slavin gave an exhibition in
the White Pass Athletic Club in
Skagway a few years later.
Peking, Jan. 15.—Peking is to
bays another bilingual daily to add.
to its list of four ,a paper which, is
to be owned and edited by Mr. Liang
Wen-ching, a protege of Mr. Liang

schoiar." The paper will be run,
under the patronage of Mr. Liang
Chi-chao, and promises to be a
fores in the capital.
According to Mr. Putnam Weale'n
new book, The Fight For The Re
public In China, "the number of
d riodicals in China now approxi
mates 10,000, the daily vernacular
newspaper in Peking alone exceed
ing 60. Although no newspaper la
Cliiua prints more than 20,000
eopie.» a day, the reading public i3
growing at a phenomenal rate, It
bein? estimated that at least 50
million people read the daily publi
cations, or hear what they say—a
fact which is deemed bo politically
imnoitant that all political parties
and groups have their chains of
org* os throughout the country."

DYNAMITE
OUTRAGE IN j
DOUGLAS
A dynamite outrage was commit- j
ted in Douglas, Jan. 4, presumably j
about 2:30 o'clock, when the boat,
house and launch, "George M.,"
botli the property of John McWil
lianiB, were blown to pieces on the
beac*. near tie cow barns in the j
northern part of Douglas, says the
Douglas News.
T\ a report Qf the explosion was j
hearJ by various people in Douglas
but as it was in the direction of!
the Alaska-Juneau mine it was sup- j
D<*el to bare come from over there.!
McWilliama was at his home and i
did not know of his loss untjl the
next morning. , ]
As evidence that a heavy, charge
of dynamite had exploded, a por
tion of the wreckage was lianging
on a telephone wire several yards
a war from where the building was
located. , ! . ' | I #!''
John McWillJama is one of the
pioneer residents of Douglas, hav
ing made this place his home for I
more than 20 years. He has no I
familv ani is over 60 years of age.
He has aalways been a prospector
and like the majority of his kind,
ha« not accummulated much pro
perty. He stated this morning:
"The boat cost me nearly $1,500,
and ]t was all I had in the wprld. I
<>m satisfied that the attack on me
by the destruclon of my property
was the work of enemies, not par
ticularly of myBelf, but of my
country. I am a loyal and true Am
erican and I know that I have ex
pressed my feelingB on several oc
cas'^i lately about the practices of
alien enemies. Otherwise I do not
know, that I have an enemy in the
wor!4, My boat was all I owned ai')
now that it has been wrecked, I am
left without means of making a live
lihood." '
Public indignation runs high here
today and people generally feel that,
wh<* an inoffensive and mild-man
ner>> • old man like John McWilliama
is n.ade the object of revenge, both
the lives and property of others
are in danger.
