SKAGWAY BOY WINS IN
TERRITORIAL CONTEST
I Kenneth Blanchard, a pupil in the
! seventh grade of our Skagway Pub
lic School, has won first prize in Al
aska iu the National Safety Kssay
Contest. The prize is a gold medal
and fifteen dollars in cash. This
also entitles him to compete for the
national prize.
In October, buKetins were sent
out by Mr. Hendtsson, Territorial
Commissioner of Education, to all
the Alaskan schools, announcing
this nation-widi contest, which is
conducted under tlie auspices of
j The Highway and Transport Educa
tion Committee at Washington. D.
C. The following six conditions
■ governed the contest:
I "1st. Any pupil of craramar grade
fourteen years or under may
compete.
"2nd. Each assay shall lie about
five hundred words In length.
"3rd. The essay jhall be on the
topic 'How I Can Make the
Highways More Safe." It
may tell about traffic rules,
how to cross the streets, why
children she uld not play on
the road, or any other means
that will make the highways
more safe.
"4tb. Each essay should be illus
trated by a drawing or pho
tograph. c'ipped from a
newspaper or magazine, or
made by the contestant.
"5th. The name, school and home
address of the pupil should
be written in the upper left
hand corner.
"6th. Essays must be handed In to
the school principal on or
before December 10, 1921."
Essays from all the pupils in the
seventh and eighth grades were for
warded to Juneau on December
tenth. On Monday of this week, a
wire from Mr Henderson announc
ed the winner.
This is the second time during the
past year that a Skagwav student
hfts won first place in territorial
contests. In Jum the essay on
"Highway Transp< rt." written by
Kloris Clark, a high school gradu
ate of last year, won first place in
the territory and honorable mention
In the national contest.
Skagway may justly be proud of
her future men and women.
Following Is the essay written by
Kenneth Bl&ncliurd:
How I Can Make the Highways
More Siifr
The highways of today are places
of accident and death. Many people
are apt to put the blame on the driv
ers. but oftentimes it is the fault.of
the pedestrians. In every Seattle
paper we read of many auto acci
dents that might have been avoided.
Ii each one of us would do some
thing to make t!:t highways mere
safe, there would be a big improve
ment.
I can make the highways more
safe by stopping myself from rui
ning out into the street when an
auto is coming. I should not hang
on the back of vehicles, or stand on
weal: runners, as this is the cause
of many accidents, i can keep off
the car tracks when playing. I can
watt until the street car stops bo
Core getting on and maybe smaller
children might follow my example.
1 tan obey the traffic rules; I cun
I look to the left and then to the
right when crossing a street In the
United States and look in the op
posite directions !n Canada. I can
' wu'ch the traffic police, with their
I ' siop" or "go" signs, keep on the
I right of the road, observe speed
ruler, stop behind a street-car which
t has stopped or go lIow near sohool
| Iiouses, keep out of the safety tone
.inJ obey all the other traffic rules
| as well. If t am driving a car, 1
cun have tire-chalu, on wet days.
!f I were driving a car 1 shi-uld
not try to beat the iraln across the
I tracks.
Speeding is the cause of manv ac
cidents. Last year, as we were
driving to Tacoma, we met a sp'K'd
:np ruto which was wrecked in pass
ii.g us. This accident was caused
t>y too much speed.
I can help old people across streets
and I can distribute safety pam
rhlets at the different homes.
Skidding is one cf the main caus
es of accidents. Drivers should al
ways use tire chalnes on wet days
All drunken men should be kept
off highways. Theie may be a driv
er who is drunk and is driving a
car. or trying to. a*jd get wrecked
I Dogs should be kept off roads, as
they make some drivers nervous,
and sometimes the result is an ac
cident.
All these conditions could be im
proved If each person would make
this his motto. "I Will Watch Out
For Myself." Hereafter, I shall not
go out in the street when autos are
coming. 1 shall keep away from
car tracks. I shall help old people
cross the streets, and try to keep
people out of the way of skidding
autos. 1 shall obey the traffic rules,
try to keep drunken men off the
streets, and keep dogs away from
the streets. I shall not hang onto
moving vehicles and 1 shall try to
keep other boys from doing the
same.
If I, and everybody else will do
all we can to Improve these condi
tions. It Is bound to Improve the
highways of today.

Brooklyn.—If the J2.10.000 estate
that Mrs. Margaret Gaston. the re
cluse, left when she died at her home
here in t»ctofter were to be diTided
equally, share and share alike, anion?
the hopeful dulmants that have applied
for the role of sole heir, each would
receive about $1.23.
Scores of professional estate

before the day of settleiLeut is reached,
wish to lie remembered.
Mrs. Huston died in the belief that
»he was without kin. It took but one
news item, to the effect that she left
a large estate, to refute tills belief
There has appeared, since the publica

family trees ever brought to the Sur

WONDROUS ALASKALAND
By P. A. Thelln
A country of constant surprise and
wonder—you who have always
thought of Alaska as bleak and ice
clad and but the home of seals and
the producer of gold under the
cruelest hardships—listen! Its har
bors on the Pacific cocst are free
from ice the year round, its climate
is nearly as varied as California—
Sitka has a more equable climate
than Washington, D. C.t its lowest
temperature being 31.6* above zero,
with a mean August temperature of
57* above xero, against that of San
Francisco of 5S*. At Prince Wil
liam Sound. Alaska, the average
winter temperature is 30* above
zero, which is the average of New
York and Boston. Ice is never
! found in the harbors, whereas New
| York and Boston a~e frequently tied
, up with ice; there are no wind
j storms, the snow that falls in win
ter never drifts and only in the In
terior of Alaska are the winters se

PRAISE FOR CHINESE POETS
According to Witter Bynner, »Writtr»
of That Land Are "Master* of
Momcntoui Minutea."
"To understand the circumstances of
mortality," say* a writer In the Na
tion. "to know what such a being a*
man can expei-t. and then to contem
plate such knowledge-—tl.at Is as n»-ar
as art can set to any s'eadlness of
Joy." And that Is where T'ang (>oetry
had arrived a thousand year* ago, ac
cording to Witter Bynner writing of
Chinese poetry In Asia Magazine
The Tan* poet* do not fool them
selves with Illusion, hut. seeing thine*
as they are, find beauty In them—and
thereby bring the high the deep, the
everlasting Into simple. easy touch
with the Immediate.
They are masters of momentous
minutiae, the small things that make
the big. They know and record the
Immense patience of beauty. There Is
sadness In that patience, but It Is an
honest, a hearty and even rellahable
sadness.
One feels that they had sent their
souls out through all the Intricacies
that are now consuming this Western
generation, through all the ways of
experience and Imagination, and had
then recalled them to the pure ele
mental truths, had received them
again, peacefully cleansed of lllusloo
and restlessness, and content In the
final simple N»auty of their own door
rards. To be sure, they knew where
to place their dooryards. But an
might we alt. If we would.
LINGUISTS UPSET OLD IDEA
Fond Belief Long Held by Young
Mothers Would Seem to Be With
out Foundation.
It Is commonly believed that a baby,
when growing np and learnings talk,
speaks the words "ma" and "da"
through constantly hearing these ut
tered by others. Thla Idea, however, Is
upset by certain students of languages,
who advance a totally different theory.
In most languages, "ma" Is generally
the first syllable spoken by a child, ac
cording to linguists. It Is the root of
the word "mother." As a baby opens
Its mouth and then exhales breath It U
quite possible that It makes this excla
mation unconsciously.
Some persons belle vt that there Is no
such thing as a "natural" tongue to the
world; for. they say. If all babies over
one year old were caused to become
deaf and dumb, they would be obliged
to go through the Identical slow proc
ess of Inventing and evolving a tongue
as man was compelled to do In days
gone by.
An ancient king of Egypt. Psammetl.
cus, placed two children among a herd
of goats on one occasion. They were
never allowed to hear a human voice,
yet. after two years, the children were
able to say the word "bekos." which
meant bread. The king's conclusion,
naturally, was that his people were
the first In the world and their tongue
the only true one.
NONE OF THAT
Just recently i girl was married to
a man whose name hapi>eued to be
Nuim.
On bearing of the wedding a friend
remarked to the bridegroom:
"You're a pnor aort of chap."
"Why?" was the reply.
"Because when you took your wife
iuto the church she had a name; wiieo
she came out she had none.'—An
swer*.
Wifely Caution.
"Why all that storming?"
"1 asked my huabaud for ten dol
lars."
"Well, If lit must kick up a fusa I
like thrt. why not ask him for a
hundred?"
"Because 1 need hia support. I
dou't want to set him drop dead."
