TIME FOR ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
T Those epic days of high adventure, the days of .98,
the days when the boys swung a poke of gold, courted
ladies of doubtful repute, when a man could drape him-!
self over the bar and drink to his heart's content, in other
words when America was a free country, are perhaps
pages from the rosy past, but there is just as much gold
“in them thar hills’' as ever* It has been over 20 years now
since a real strike has been made but that is because over
ten years ago the big scrap across the pond took away
so many of the boys who never came back. Alaska is just
now recovering from the war though we still have the war
tax. Alaska was depopulated during the war and it has
taken all these years to begin to reach the level of pro
gress prevalent then. More prospectors are taking the
field each season. We long for a strike fori the reason it
will add thousands to our population over night*
New Naval regulations require that men jumping
from an airplane must open their parachutes immediately,
instead of dropping several hundred feet before pulling
the safety ring, as many of them have been doing to make
records for foolhardiness. Now if they land too hard
they will be courtmartialed. %
Jacqueline Logan, movie star, has secured a divorce
on the ground that her husband kicked her and called her
dumb. Those Hollywood girls are so finicky and temper
amental.
ARE YOU TALLER IN MORNING THAN NIGHT ?
The answer to this question, in the estimation of Alas
kans, would be very simple: “Fm not!” And yet if
skeptics would take the trouble to measure themselves,
upon arising, and again just before going to bed at night,
they would find that they are a goodly fraction of an inch
taller in the morning !
