Hull ami's Example of Peace
i
The Dutch, who are famous
for their common sense, prove it
anew in their way of meeting a
new crisis. They prepare for
war, recognizing it may come,
but they do not glorify it, do
not teach their children it is any
thing but a shameful business of
murder.
Characteristic is the fact that
one cannot buy toy soldiers, or
tanks, or guns in the stores of'
the Netherlands. Believing war
is not a nice thing, they just j
don’t carry siuch commodities in
stock. The contrast with this,
country is striking. Yet the Hoi t
landers are not lacking in cour
age or in realism.
If this were merely an atti- j
tude. it could be dismissed. But
it is the successful formula of a j
people who have prospered, held
onto a vast colonial empire, and
still kept free of war for many
decades. It evidently pays to
teach that war is evil, and make
this clear to each succeeding gen
eration, meantime keeping up
the means of national defense to
be ready if worse comes to worst

ALASKA AIR HISTORY
IN WIEN PICTURES
Almost a pictorial history of
the development of aviation in
Interior Alaska is a display of
photographs and snapshots from
a period of two decades array
ed in the Wien Alaska Airlines
office in Fairbanks.
Most antique of the pictures is
one shot by Noel Wien of the
first plane ever to land in Nome,
a U. S. Army ship, all wing
struts and guy-wires, in 1920.
Many of Alaska’s present-day
dignitaries are clustered about
the plane’s cheese-box fuselage.
Another shot is of Wien’s Fok
ker, brought here about 1925
when it was one of the first
cabin planes ever purchased in
the United States. This ship,
which flew the first commercial
flight from Fairbanks to Nome,
resembles a tractor with wings.
The pilot’s seat was located along
side the motor, making at pos
sible for the flier to pat it occas
ionally for encouragement.
Also exhibited are views of
the first landing at Bethel, a res
cue ship beside a plane obliged
to make a forced landing at Wick
ersharn Dome, another plane
wheel-deep in mud at Circle
Springs with a team of horses
standing by for hauling duty,
and the old Hamilton which
was flown by the late Col. Ben \
Eielson on his fatal last hop.
After seeing some gangster
movies we don’t wonder that i
crime doesn’t pay.

Married Teachers Favored
DEL MONTE, Calif.. Oct. 9 —
Stanford University Dean of Ed
ucation Kefauvor declared that
school boards should not be pre
judiced against married women
teachers. Dr. Kefauvor told the
state convention of city, county,
i and district school superintend
ents meeting at swank Del Monte
that opposition to married teach
I ers in California and elsewhere
I has unfavorable effects on both
j the teachers and education in
general.
The dean declared that school
boards and school superintend
ents should realize that school
teachers live particularly stren
uous lives. He said that married
teachers are likely to be better
tempered and one the whole bet
| ter instructors because they live
j what he called normal lives.

According to Dr. William F.
! Russell, dean of Teachers Col
! lege, Columbia University, Com
munists are paying students $3 a
day to spread radicalism on the
campus. This is called boring
from within, and the other stu
dents probably (find it boring.
But it’s pretty soft to be paid
; $3 a day for painting the campus
j red.
FOUR MEN ON
TWELVE TRACTORS
SUDAN. Tex. — Cotton farm
ers near here have experiment
ed with new equipment that gOid
es a tractor from one end of the
cotton row to the other without
a driver at the controls.
A each end of the rows are
men who turn the tractors about
and start them back. In trials,
four men operated 12 tractors.
Figures of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation based on past
records, show that of the 130,
000,000 Americans alive today1
about 300,000 will be murdered. |
Millions will die in traffic acci
dents. There is a lot of talk
about the terrors of war, but |
what about the perils of peace?
