I’niler Ruling of .lud^e Um«n All Sh
I
loons In the Division \\ ill Re Kep<
Closed hVoni Midnight I’ntil II A. M.
I
Limits Amount of Liquor Sold.
_ i
Under an order issued out of the
• district court yesterday afternoon aii'
saloons in the Third Division must ,
close at midnight and remain closed j
until 6 a. m. The reasons for this j
ruling are set forth in the order. Aj
further provision of the order forbids |
the sale of liquor in quantities by r<*-1
tail dealers. The principal reasons,
for this are that certain saloons are
now and have made a practice of sell-|
ing liquors to he shipped into "Dry”!
territory, and though warning has!
been given that such practice must,
stop it has not been effective. If thc|
present order does not avail then
more drastic measures will be en
forced.
Following is the text of the order: ■
"In view of the unsettled condi-;
lions prevailing and the tendency all
over the United States to curtail the'
[sale of liquor as a matter of public|
! policy, to prevent disorder and crime; j
"It Is Ordered, That from and after
| the 15th day of May, 1917. every sa
loon in the Third Division of Alaska
shall close at 12 o'clock midnight of
each day and remain closed until <!
a. m. the following morning. All sa
loons shall remain closed from Satur
day at 12 o’clock midnight until <1!
| o’clock Monday morning.
I It further appearing to the satis-!
faction of the (’ourt that certain sa- j
loons in this division being conducted !
by virtue of licenses issued by this
court, are selling fermented, vinous)
|and spiritous liquors in large quanti-j
Ities, to be taken away front the prein-i
jises where sold and that considerable j
'of said liquor is taken into Dry ter-,
j i
Iritory where no saloons are licensed.
I anti as result there is a great amount |
of drunkeness and disorder and vio- j
i iation of law.
i Now. Therefore. It Is Ordered. That
!no person holding a retail liquor li-i
cense shall sell more than three quarts!
• of beer or one quart of wine or spirit :
ious liquor, unless there is executed
{before a notary public and left with
|said retail liquor dealer, an affidavit
signed by the person to'whom liquor |
|is delivered which affidavit shall give!
the date, kind and quantity of liquor
.part based, the name, residence and
{occupation of the person to whom said
i liquor is actually delivered and the
{name of the person for whom said li
iquor is actually purchased, together
i with his residence and occupation.
Said affidavit must be kept by said
j retail liquor dealer where a deputy
'marshal or other authorized officer
!may inspect the same at any time anti
'make a copy thereof if he so desires.
A retail liquor dealer is not author
ized and will not be permitted to act
as a distributing center and sell li
quors without discrimination or car*
as to their destination and the purpose
for which they are brought, and any
violation of this rule will result in the
forfeiture of any license issued.
“THE WILD OLIVE”
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
On the circumstantial evidence of
the bloody dagger having been found
in his bedroom, young Norrie Ford is
indicted on the charge of murdering
his uncle, a boss and bully in an A\*
legbany lumber camp, and is sentenc
ed to death.
Breaking away from his guards he
escapes into the mountains where he
is hid from the pursuing posse in the
cabin of a mysterious mountain girl
of beauty and culture, who aids him
to make his escape to Argentine, after
they have vowed their love for each
other.
I Growing a beard and changing his
name, Norrie Ford soon becomes a
favorite in the best circles of gay
Buenos Ayres. Sending letter after
letter to the mountain girl whom he
knows only as the “Wild Olive,” his
letters are returned with the state
ment that no such name is known. In
his endeavors to forget her he is en
gaged to a New York girl and shortly
after is transferred to New York by
nis firm. Venturing back to the States
he is arrested and the Wild Olive
comes forward and agrees to give him
up if the charge against him is with
drawn. The scene terminates with
the real murderer being found and the
young couple go forth to happiness.

II. Plainly descrlltos the pilot "graphic j
trick of having one person appear twice I
in the same picture anil tells the aina- j
leur photographer how to accomplish It. I
"What you actually do is this: Put
from a piece <>f lid k. stiff pasteboard
a piece which will lit into the inside of
tlie cameru and is- held in place by the
folds of the liellows. It should Is- fit
ted iu the fold or the billows which
will hold it about an inch or an inch
and a half in front of the plate. Its
width should is* half the plate opening
und a trifle more—say one-eighth of an
inch.
"Make this piece of cur board thor
oughly black on both sides by dipping
it in ink and letting it dry. See I hat
the cardboard is well ‘seated" in the
bellows folds so that light does not
leak past, tlie joints.
"Pose your subject and proceed to
focus so I lint tlie image appears on tile
right side of the ground glass in the
camera ilefr side of the finished picture
will lie the resulti. Tlie left side of the
ground glass appears blank, because It
is kept from ex|H>stire by the card
board. Insert tlie plate holder, take n
picture, put back the slide and remove
tlie plate holder; on no account move
tlie camera, however. Very gently slide
the cardboard from tin* left side to tlie
right and replace the ground glass.
Pose the subject on tile opposite side
of the center this time. Then replace
the plate holder, remove tlie slide anil
make u second exposure exactly the
same length as tlie first."
HISTORIC KAVALA.
This Grscisn Ssaport Was Known ss
Nsspolis In St. Paul's Tims.
Kavalu, the tireeian seaport which
has figured so often in press dispatches
during recent years. Is noted as the
birthplace of Meheinet All. tile remark
able son of an Albanian farmer whose
career as viceroy of Egypt during the
first half of die nineteenth century al
most precipitated Europe into a war
of nations. The house in which this
witty, wily pasha was Itorn lit l"t!!l is
in a narrow, crooked street not far
from the Turkish school which lie
founded, although lie himself never
learned to read or write.
in linman days Kavalu was known as
Nctd'olis. and it was here that St. l'aul
landed <>n his way front Knuiothroce to
Philippi, when* there was a thriving
colony of Christ inns, to whom the Epis
tle to fin* PUilippians was addressed.
Prior to tin* beginning of the Chris
tian era Neapolis was the seaport of
Philippi, whose ruins are to be found
some ten miles from shore on the high
way from Kavalu to Thessaly. Heft*
the licet of Brutus and Cassius was tit
anchor during the famous conflict on
the fields of Philippi in B. C.. when
the assassinators of Julius Caesar met
defeat sit the hands of the legions com
manded by Antony and Octavius.
Practically all that remains to con
nect ancient Neapolis with modern
Kavalu is a Roman aqueduct, whose
two tier arches still convey water
from Mount l’angetis to the town and
citadel.
Our Sleep.
As a race we sleep toe little. Ail In
fant's life is nearly all sleep, iiradual
ly as tlie cliilil grows older the hours of
sleep are shortened. Youth till the age
of twenty Is reached requires fully ten
hours’ sleep. Although nature demands
fewer hours’ sleep in summer than in
winter, it lias been proved that eight
hours of sleep are required for the av
erage adult in good health. By this is
meant not simply eight hours in bed.
but that amount of good, sound, restful
sleep night afler night. Our power to
work is intimately related to our abil
ity to sleep, and there is no more reli
able indication of sound health than
the capacity to sleep naturally, and the
more active and energetic the waking
life the deeper the sleep.
Tripled Her Baking Capacity.
"One day, when baking cookies,” says
a housewife in the Womau’s Home
Companion, “I expressed a wish for
larger pans. My bushaud said, 'Why
not have some made to fit the oven?’
He then measured the grate aud went
down to the hardware store. Iu a few
days I had two Russia iron pans
by 18Vi inches and one inch deep. As
these pans hold three dozens of cookies
I can do my hakiug very much more
quickly than I could with the old pans,
which only held twelve cookies.”
