News that Alaska’s new fed
«ral bureau of investigation man,
Sam Landrum, has been assign
ed to the Territory “indefinitely,”
raising hopes for a permanent
“crime research” bureau in Al
aska, is received with pleasure.
Local municipal officers and of
fleers of United States marshal’s
offices haven’t the money or the
personnel to deal with cases
where “all is not present that
meets the eye.”
That job is an FBI job express
ly. Recognized as one of the most
beneficial law enforcement offices
in the United States, this co
ordinating crime detection of
fice has done a world of com
mendable work in its brief ex
istence.
Alaska needs such a bureau of
investigation, perhaps more so
than any other portion of soil
under the United States flag.
The limits of Alaska are re
mote, its distances vast, and the
job of crime detection a difficult
problem.
All law enforcement officers of
the Territory welcome Land
rum’s being stationed here, even
though his assignment is “indef
inate.”
It gives us hope that the nec
esary funds will be alloted to
make this office in Alaska once
made permanent, for the work of
the FBI in Alaska has been ap
preciated and is needed.
PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is a deep sounding
word, and the average person
hardly knows what it means. It
is defined as the science of the
human mind. But profound as
the subject is, yet it is a line of
though that is being studied by
many unemployed people, who
are anxious to find ways by
which they can make good in the
world.
Many people who know little
iV nothing about theoretical
psychology, are yet in a practical’
way very good psychologists
themselves. A politician for in
stance may never have studied
this science in any book, yet in
stinct tells him how the minds of
his constituents work. Many pol
iticians are too much swayed by
every current of popular opinion
that blows, so that they are not
much more than mere weather
vanes. But still any successful
statesman has to know what the
people are thinking in their in
most minds, before he can sway
their thoughts.
The good salesman is an excell
ent psychologist. He knows how
the mind of his customer works.
He tries to adapt himself to the
tendencies in the mind of his cus
tomers, and how to appeal to dif
ferent types of minds.
One reason why many persons
fail to read people’s minds, is
that they are so anxious to talk
themselves and express their
own thoughts that they rarely
listen to others. The person who
listens more than he talks, knows
the thoughts that aTe passing
through the minds of the people,
and is better able to predict
what they will do, and what kind
of argument will appeal to them.

Church school 11 o’clock.
The contest in the Junior De
partment is creating considerable
interest. The lead established by
Eric Hay’s side is slowly being
overcome by Patsy Kennedy and
her team. It looks like the vic
tory will go to those who stick to
^the business of being at church
school instead of taking time out
to go skiing.
Worship Service 7:45.
The members of the church
will be pleased to welcome as the
special guests of the evening,
members of the Odd Fellow and
Rebekah Lodges. The pastor will
speak on a theme appropriate
for the occasion, and special mu
sic will be offered by Mrs.
Bjarne Olsen. The general public
is cordially invited.

JUVENILES GET HIAWATHA
INSTEAD OF IIOOSEGOW
CAMPBELL, Calif. (/P) — Jus
tice John Blaine has his own
idea of handling juvenile law
breakers. Instead of jail senten
ces he gives them reading assign
moots and orders them to report
back for examination qn what
they have learned.
A favorite work in this regard
is Longfellow’s “Hiawatha.” Jus
tice Blaine says it accents the rit
uals with which Indian tribes
marked a boy’s coming of age
and the self discipline necessary
for manhood.

Two Kinds of Claims
„ It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim; If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.
