ARMY SCRAPPER
DESIRES PLACE
ON ELKS' CARD
Feather Champion of North
west May Appear on
Elks’ Labor Day Bill.
With the neaanner all settled for
the Elks’ Labor Day Smoker card,
the matchmaking committee of the
Bills lias a dtanc.e to put on a second
classy go on the fame schedule if
it can connect up with a real fight
er in the feather—or bantamweight
division. It' Whs half of manpower
and science necessary to make up
this go in the person of "Dick''
Carter, a battling dentist in khaki
who is temporarily sojourning at
Chilkoot Barracks while bis chief.
Capt. J. L. Boyle, Army dental sur
geon, shows the "Chil-kootles" some
thing extra a^out the joys of army
life.
Carter bears the papers which go
a long ways to show that he is a
tough little customer. He apparent
ly looks on scraps like small boys
to the apples on the neighbors’ trees
—there for the early comer. Carter,
who Is a husky 120-pounder, poumlert
Ills way to the head of his class in
the Northwest army posts at Camp
Lewis when he slipped a dreamland
ticket to on Vaaqueza, who was up
to that time titleholder.
Carter passed through Juneau ear
ly this week enroute from the west
where he has been since early in the
summer to Chilkoot Rarrack. He
is in shape to step into the ring and
only waits for an opponent to show
up. The local Elks are looking for
a man to go on with the flashy sol
dier, anything tip to 125 pounds goes
with Carter. A search through local
talent this week failed to net the
Elks’ matchmakers and match for
Carter. Any candidate for the honors
will get a big reception from the com
mittee and a chance to meet a sure
enough scrapper.

MANILA, P. I., Aug. 24—How the|
messengers of mercy and health are
gradually convincing the Moros of;
the island of Jolo that the ways of1
peace arp better than their own old,
savage customs, is told by Miss!

The Moro mothers are being gradual
ly and steadily won over to civilized
ways in the care of their children,
Miss Salih says.
Describing some of her many dif-1
Acuities during the first days of her
assignment at the center, Miss Salih.!
in a report, says:
"At present there are forty babies
and a few expectant mothers e-tiling!
to my ( enter. Most of the babies I
need treatment. The expectant mo-;
thers come for advice. The tfisL
few days of my home visits the peo I
lie were afraid of me. They h-.j
their children and the expectant mo j
thers concealed themselves. Nor •
they arc1 beginning to realize the
good of the puericulture center
“On June 18, last, there wr’ four
hnbli s needing attention. Two of
them were full of scabies and two
had fever and were afflicted with
itch. The first thing 1 did was to
give them tepid sponge baths, then
castor oil, because their tongues
were coated. The parents of th-“
children were frightened because
they said they never bathed patients
when they have fever. When I vis
ited them four days later they were
all getting along nicely and now the
mothers are kind to mo and tor oth
er people how I cured their bi.iioi
