REPORTER WITH A
BOIL ON HIS FINGER
MAKES A DISCOVERY
By WILBUR S. FORREST |
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, June 1.—(By Mail)—j
The strain of twenty months of war
on the composite brain of a nation
showed today that common, ordinary
bandage is the new insignia of sym
pathy.
Just like the sight of shamrock j
dashes to the brain of an individual
that it’s St. Patrick’s day, the sight of j
bandage tells the average Britisher'
that he should be sympathetic.
To have on vour linger a senu-car
bunelar furuncle (which is an over-:
zealous boil) is to wear your arm in
a sling. This means a liberal display
of bandage.
Walking along a crowded London
thoroughfare with your arm in a sling
transforms you from an able bodied
slacker to a hero just back from the
front.
A uniform isn’t necessary. The
sympathetic “composite war brain
overlooks all that is lacking. You
have been wounded and it can readily
be seen that you are tired of wearing
your uniform and you are modest
about attracting attention anyhow.
Old ladies behm on you in trams,
buses and subways.
You are petted and pampered by
conductors who hold their vehicle
while you get safely seated.
Men on the street who wear the
Derby armlet look sheepish when you
pass.
Barbers take special care not to
jostle your “wounded” arm. Wait
resses and waiters sympathetically
carve your meat.
Ushers in theatres follow you to,
your seat and take your things back
to the cloak room.
Shop clerks tie up your bundles
with a special loop of strong string
so you can hook it over an unwounded
linger.
r radio “Bobbles’* occasionally
salute.
Kvery body has your number.
Y'our are a wounded soldier, except:
When you are an American report
er with a boil on your linger.
For a Delicate, Delightful, Dainty,
Desert, JKLLO. 10c each—this week
only. Brown & Hawkins, “Quality
First.”

INTERIOR NOTES
According to advices received from
Ester creek there is not an idle man
on the creek, every man having a job
or going to one. All of the plants
are now working to their full capac
ity. There is plenty of water and the
operators are taking advantage of it.
Cleveland & Howell, operating on
VVoodchopper creek, are reported to
have cleaned up $40,000 at their No.
I plant and $28,000 at the No. 2 plant.
Mr. Cleveland states that he expects
to take out a million dollars within
two years time.
Three fur buyers, Levy, Esekial and
Grossman, representing rival firms
started down the Yukon from Dawson
in the speediest boats on the river in
a 1,700 mile marathon race to Nome,
The men have offered their engineers
a large bonus for speed. They arc go
ing to buy fur at all the posts on the
route. The race will be watched with
great interest.
W. E. Eckert, son of Mrs. J. H.
Patton, and formerly of Fairbanks, is
the youngest captain under the Amer
ican tlag. He has just been given
command of the steamship Justin.
Mr. Eckert is 29 years of age at this
time. The owners of the boat, the
American Tab company, hesitated in
giving the young man the ship be
cause of his youth, but finally decided
to give it to him. The boat runs be
tween Shanghai, Honolulu and San
Francisco.
NEWS NOTES
Representative Hewitt of the L. C.
Smith Company states the interesting
fact that as a result of the war the
| price of typewriters has gone up live
; to twelve and a half dollars.
The original plat of the town of
1 Anchorage on which Government
Agent Christensen marked each sale
ns it was made is to be given as a
present to the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce.
Harry Ellsworth, Crit Tolman and
Art Specker shot a goat and a bear
yesterday at the head of July 4 creek.
They have gone out there twice for
the purpose of prospecting but each
time found big game and let the gold
mine take a lest.

It’s Fine to KNOW
Your Clothes Are Right
—right in materials, correct
in style, designed for
you personally.
Men who get Stone The Tailor service
with their clothes always have that satis
faction. They get style advice from the
country’s fashion center, a choice of
imported woolens that cannot he dupli
cated in the West, and workmanship
that assures a perfect fit—all at prices
much lower than similar style and
quality would cost elsewhere.
See the fine new woolens Mr. Stone
is showing.
