RELATES TRIP

A clear account of a trip into Alas
ka, "the far north,' is contained in
letters received here by Mrs. L. G.
Street from her daughter, Grace
Street, who with Mary Sloane, have
gone to teach school this year in Ko
diak, Alaska- The first letter, dated
September 4, was written on board
the S. S. Admiral W atson, shortly be
fore its arrival at Cordova. The in-i
teresting communications follow:

The United States built a giant
dirigible in ENGLAND. It fell, killed
62. Another, built .in ITALY, fell,
killed 34. Last week, the United
States Zeppelin, ZR-1, built HERE,
by the American Government, flew
over from New York and started for
Philadelphia, having first travelled
.100 miles over New Jersey. Those
who think the Government can't do
anything and must always hire pri
vate assistance, take notice.
That great machine, looking like
a silver coated fish, slowly traveling
through the air above New York,
was a warning to the six millions in
that city, and the whole country.
In the morning, with the snn ob
scured by clouds, the air giant was
barely visible?. Had thé oaptapn
chosen to go a few thousand feet
higher, it would hasre been absolutely
invisible.
Such a traveler coming out of the
misty dawn, above the edge of the
ocean, would first make itself known
by dropping enough bombs to destroy
New York, enough deadly gas to kill
New York, enough deadly gas to kill
three-quarters of the inhabitants.

American school children saved

The money is nothing, the saving

To teach children that poverty is

children that after they have saved,
they must help others.

the advice given by Dr. Needles.
When you are in a car going forty
miles an hour, you go about fifty
