WONDERS
Mr. J. R. Heckman, president of the
Miners & Merchants bank of Ketchi- i
kan, who is spending the winter in ]
Seattle, writes entertainingly of some (
of his experiences in the Queen City. ,
“Last summer it was my good for- (
tune to b6 at a meeting in Ketchikan
■where the story was told’of the heroic
efforts of a group of Americans to
save the lives of a good many thous
and orphan children in the Near East.
Up to the time I heard that lecture
and saw the pictures of which the lec
ture brough the words Near East Re
lief had no special significance to me.
I was so impressed with the man’s
earnestness and his message that I
spent some time in introducing him to
my friends and helping him in his ef
forts to secure funds throughout Al
aska for these children.
“Later in the summer my wife and
I came to Seattle for a vacation trip,
when she was suddenly taken ill and
the physicians ordered an immediate
major operation. All at once the word
hospital had a meaning to me. It
meant the one chance for life for Mrs.
Heckman. I found myself exceeding
ly grateful to the people who years
ago had built a splendid hospital in
Seattle, that the best surgeons that I
could find could have every opportun
ity to relieve her intense sufferings.
I began to think too about the man
who had told us of the men, women,
and children who had been driven
from home, and who through no fault
of their own, w'ere unable to secure
such care as I w'as able to give my
wife thru the erection of this Seattle
hospital.
“At this time, Mrs. Heckman’s con
dition is most satisfactory and short
ly she should be about again.
During the time of her convales
cence, I have been fortunate enough
to spend some time with a man who
was overseas in the Near East Re
lief Servise and the things he told
me has made me feel that I must do
more than I though I could, partly be
. cause the need is so much greater
than I thought, partly because I want
, to back up the heroic Americans who
are fighting a "winning fight with fam
. ine, disease and death, and partly out
of sheed gratitude because when we
needed hospital care it was possible
for me to secure it.
“I have taken so much time in tel
ling my story that there isn’t much
room left for the children, but I nev
er realized quite what shortage of re
lief funds means until my friend here
told me of how one day he stood be
- fore a group of more than one hun
dred orphan children demanding ad
mittance to an orphanage, and there
was room for only twenty. This man
picked out twenty of the younger
children and left the rest. The most
of them starved and froze to death
that winter. He told me of seeing
children whose eyeballs had burst, of
mothers trying to, nurse babies at dry
breasts, of children dead on the side
walks from hunger. Then he told the
other side of the story, how the Near
East Relief had taken in over 100,000
children, had changed them from
hopeless wrecks to happy, hardy,
healthy, robust children who were go
ing out of the orphanage at sixteen
to support themselves.
“In my next, I will give you some
of the latest work about the Armenian
earthquake.”
Yours truly,
J. R. HECKMAN

GENERAL WANTS HEAVIER
PUNISHMENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. (/P)—1The
tightening up of the anti-trust and
prohibition laws, are among numer
ous legislative recommendations in
the annual report of Attorney Gen
eral Sargent, prepared for Congress.
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willdebrandt,
assistant attorney general in charge
of prohibition, urged amendment to
the Volstead act to permit courts in
their discretion to impose jail sen
tences “heavy enough to fit the
facts.”
Reporting that progress • against
rum smuggling in the last year “has
been interesting if not encouraging,”
she reiterates the plea of the Treas
ury Department for legislation to
support the rum treaties worked out
with foreign*1 governments relative to
ship seizures.
William J. Donovan, assistant to
the Attorney General and in charge
of anti-trust cases, suggested pos-S
sible amendments to section seven
of the Clayton act without definite
recommendations. He said there had
been criticism that the act enjoined
the acquisition of stock of a com
peting corporation but not the acqui
sition of its property and assets.
Donovan also said complaints had
been made that the act now pre
vents the merger of two small cor
porations whose joining “may only
serve to enable 'them to compete
mere successfully with an already
existing larger unit in the same line.”

CHICAGO, Dec. 23. (/P)—Abolition

hor nicotine, according to traffic
managers of the Illinois Central rail
road, who have been facing a new
problem with the introduction of new
cars on the electrified suburban lines.
