A NOBLE BEQUEST
A nother fine example of the growing tendency toward
benevolence on the part of wealthy men is seen in the
will of the late S. Davies Warfield, president of the Sea
board Air Line Railway and official in numerous other
large enterprises.
Mr. Warfield leaves his residuary estate, estimated
to be between five and ten million dollars for the founding
of a home for dependent aged women. It will be located
at his Manor Glen farm near Monckton, Md., and will
be called “Anna Emory Warfield Home”, in memory of his
mother.
Beginning as a clerk, Mr. Warfield rose to high
eminence in the industrial and banking world. He was
one of the leaders in the amazing development which has
taken place in the South during the last two decades. His
high character and humanitarian impulses may be judged
by the noble bequest he made for the care of unfortunate
aged women. . !
The home which his beneficence will establish will
stand as a monument to his useful life and as a memorial
to the devoted mother who gave him birth.
Henry Ford's plan to “sell” you one of his new fliv- j
vers by renting it to you at $12.50 per month remains one
of the argument against the horse: the dam thing kept
costing something while it was idle.
Prohibition may be considered reasonably success
ful when the time comes that the Anti-saloon League
doesn't have to put forth more effort to keep it than it
did to get it.
The article “the” is an important thing. Suppose, for
example, it was left out of that affectionate phrase
“You're the only one I love.”
The way to reform the jury system is to try the jury
first and then let the ones who are out of jail try the cte
fendant. ___
Admiral Macgruder admits that he has talked too
much. A similar confession might well be made by the
rest of us.
A host of fellows will be “mentioned” for high office
next year, even if they have to do the mentioning them
selves.
This week's song hit*. “Detroit Must Be Heaven
Cause My Motor Came From There.”
Clothes will be blue this winter, and so will the people
who can't afford them.
Recent preliminary political skirmishes in Mexico
perhaps serve the same purpose as our American straw
votes.

ENCE OF VIEWS
LONDON, Nov. 25. (JP)—Lord Brid
geman announced definitely to the
House of Commons that Great Britain
has decided to lay down only one
■cruiser during 1928 in place of three
as orginally planned.
He said 'the government ’had de
cided in the light of the situation dis
closed at Geneva, that it is not neces
sary, or desirable, to proceed with the
building of two others this year.
Lord Cecil, in the House of Lords,
explained he had resigned from the
Cabinet because the British govern
ment had permitted the views of the
Admirality to outweigh those of the
civil members interested in the reduc
tion of naval strength.

THE TRUE BANANA OIL BELT
Gus Gelles, secretary and treasur
er of the Alaska Guides Incorporated,
subsidiary to the Alaska Glacier
Tours, is an arrival in Seward from
Anchorage enroute to Cordova on a
brief business trip.
The first parka to have been no
ticed worn in Seward this fall, or
winter, made it’s appearance /(today.
From the remote Interior points
are waft the following interesting
facts about old-man-winter. At Fair
banks he ran the thermometer down
to 42 below z-e-r-o,(shivers)at Anchor
age 26 belo wthe freezing point, at
Nenana, where rails and river meet,
the old boy ran her down to 25 be
low. Seward?. Oh Seward was just
20 above! Rather warm.
