City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 8, 1915.
A prominent eastern lady, discussing
economy in house keeping, took occa
sion, not long ago, to point out, as
cxamplftled by her servants, the rela
tive ideas of value by means of a very
apt and illustrative statement. She
said: "My mulils would never think of
such a thing as throwing away a coin
in the garbage, nor would the average
person. Jf they thought that there was
a niokle dropped in the waste every
port ion “would he picked over with dil
ligent care. Yet those same servants
will daily throw away twenty times
tills umount in usable food stuffs and
take offense if they are accused of
wastefulness." There is food for re
flection in this statement as it dis
closes to a great extent the real reason
for a great portion of the careless
waste which marks the conduct of
tiouse keeping affairs in countless
homes throughout the land. The ten
dency to waste apparently lies largely
in this lack of a proper estimate of
values. The same person who will
thoughtlessly throw away a consid
erable quantity of costly food stuffs,
would shriek with horror of the waste
if the value represented, was reduced
to dollars or cents and consigned to the
garbage can. It therefore appears that
the cause lies In a lack of judgment
rather than In extravagent or wasteful
tendencies. In the concrete sense
there Is no difference in throwing away
a dime's worth of usable food stuffs
and the actual coin representing that
value. Yet the person so doing thinks
nothing of the value involved when it
is not represented by the concrete ex
pression of value as displayed In a
<i>in. The absence of proper training
may lie at the root of this lack of a
true idea of values but the idea that
this is the full explanation of the ten
dency of many to throw away more
than they use while at the same time
I ellevlng that they are in no sense
wasteful is difficult to conceive. It
would nppear that the preceding ex
planation sums up the reason on a most
logical basis and the evil Is the result
of the inability of the general run of
people to recognize a cent when repre
sented by other objects than the coin
itself.

■
From the time that the Wrights
perfected the heavier-than-alr fiying
machine it has been evident to trust
1 ersons familiar with the existing laws
on the subject of real propert., 'hat
the time has come for a revision of
the old rule that a man’s property
right extended into the heavens above
the land and into the lowest depths of
the earth. Hut that rule has not been
formally altered by any legislative
enactment in this country or elsewhere.
The present war has raised the same
issue on a larger plan. It has brought
squarely to the front the question
whether any country can claim an
actual sovereignty over the air above
Its dominions, or whether, following
the analogy of the sea outside of the
three-mile limit off shore, the air is
not neutral, open to the citizens of all
countries alike.
Great Britain, for one country, has
como out squarely for this contention
and hus raised an issue which must
ultimately be decided by some Inter
national tribual after the present war
is over.
Switzerland entered a complaint that
in the attacks by British aviators upon
the sheds housing the Zeppelins at
Friedriehshafen. on the shores of Lake
Constance tlie aviators violated the
neutrality of Switzerland by flying
over Swiss territory. The British gov
ernment has sent its regrets for what
it says was an inadvertent act on the
part of the aviators, but coupled with
these informal regrets was an expliict
disclaimer of any intention to recognize
that neutral rights were violated by
this form of invasion or that there ex
ists a sovereignty of the air.
This raises the issue squarely, and
it is an issue whieh must be settled at
some future time. The probable set
tlement will be recognition that there
is a limit to sovereignty over the air, as
there is to sovereignty over waters ad
jacent to any country. The limit of
sovereignty over waters lias been fixed
by international agreement at a dis
tance of three miles from shore. The
limit of sovereignty will probably tie
fixed at some corresponding altitude.—

BREAKS A SIXTY DAY FAST
ON HIS WIFE'S PERSUASION
PALO ALTO, Cal—After fasting for
sixty days Louis Roth, a tailor, was
given a few spoonfuls of orange Juice
on the advice of a physician and by
persuasion of his wife. Gradually his
rations will be increased.
Roth was convinced that fasting
would cure him of a digestive disorder.
He resolved, after the first pangs of
hunger had been subdued, not to eat
again until either his appetite returned
or his tongue cleared.
The anxiety of his wife, who until a
few days ago had encouraged and sup
ported him. induced him to change bis
mind.
ALASKA SURVEYS AND
INVESTIGATIONS FOR 1915
The 1'. S. Geological Survey is dis
patching 12 parties to Alaska to con
tinue the systematic surveys and in
vestigations that have been in pro
gress for the last 18 years, of tlyc.se
parties three will be sent to south
eastern Alaska, one into upper Chitina
region, one to Port Valdez, two will
work in the Turnagain Arm-Knik re
gion. one will make investigations in
the Yukon-Tanana region and two in
the Ruby-Kuskokwim region, and an
other will traverse the little-known
area lying between the Ruby district
and the Tanana river. One party will
be engaged in general investigations
in different parts of the Territory.
These parties sailed from Seattle dur
ing May so as to take ‘full advantage]
of the field season.
The detailed topographic mapping
adjacent to Juneau, in southeastern
[Alaska, begun last tear, will be con
tinued by D. C. Weatherspoon. The
base map of this important gold-lode]
district is essential to an exhaustive]
study of the district which will he tin- !
