SOME BLESSINGS OF THE FRONTIER
New York is wrestling witn tne proDiem or nui&e m
an effort to save the nerves of the occupants of its war
rens and eyries, passing new ordinances and introduc
ing new agencies in building construction, while con
demning others not gauging up to the new standards.
In Pittsburg a professor of science alleges that the
dwellers of thexity of coal, iron and Andy Mellon are
threatened with poor health as a result of a superabun
dance of smoke and soot, lack of contact with cosmic j
rays and other (Lodads high up in the ether. He propos- j
es ordinances to remedy the condition.
Other great cities are concerned with a veritable
Pandora’s box of evil genii productive of trying to crowd
large numbers of persons in a restricted space where,
germs multiply, and a cut on a finger demands a sur-!
geon’s care to escape poisoning.
A day amidst primitive nature, the smell of spruce,
the song of birds and the wonders of the great natural
cosmic scheme is something available only to the rich,
and seldom available to the poor man. i
And ah of these things are as free as the air to the |
man who dwells on the frontier.
Even in mosquitoes, our cardinal pest, we have an
advantage. There are no germ-carrying insects to strew
malaria and kindred ills in its pathway, and nature .is
so evenly balanced that, free from chronic systemic ail
ments, a man set down on the frontier finds Nature car
ing for his wants along with the animals of the forests,
only asking that he obey her law.
There are many kinds of riches. The man with only i
a cabin over his head has the edge on many of those who '
write checks in six figures.
BUILDING FROM WITHIN
Tests of Alaska green peas, canned in the States, |
show them to be superior to any other pea on the market, j
There is talk of assisting the Alaska farmer, especially j
in Matunuska. G t’een peas, grown and canned in Alaska
would have a domestic and foreign market. So would
cabbages and other luscious Alaskan vegetables and ber
ries. There must be a beginning. A small cannery would
go far to lay the foundation for a permanent industry
which would" give Alaskans labor, provide a market for
raw products and give greater volume to business.
If Shaw possesses no other quality it is that of tak- j
ing the conceit out of a great many people who believedj
they were the beer’s foam.
The next big question after disposing of curtail
ment of farm acreage is to halt overproduction of spring
poetry.
Japan says Lie war is for defense. And we always
thought it was called a wall.

LOIS MORAN
VICTOR VARCONI — CHARLES BICKFORD
head the fine cast in the very interesting picture
“Men In Her Life”
A misleading name for an extra fine drama, including <a mur
der mystery, and staged in both Europe and America. Not a
“sexy” story, bt t an absorbing play full of comedy touches and
rich romance.
With it there is an unusually good two-reel detec
tive comedy that will make you sit up and take
notice. And an extra good News reel.
