A MONUMENT TO CHILDHOOD’S FAITH
IN the foreground of the Jesse Lee Home stands a con
* Crete monument known as the Zero Milestone. Within
its crypt and hermetically sealed are the names of thou
sands of children known as the “Baltos” who by their ef
forts have performed a wonderful service for humanity
and by the same stroke laid the foundation for even great
er things to come. The Zero Milestone, like that of Rome,
signifies the beginning of the journey of progress not only
spiritually but materially. It carries with it something
more than religious sentiment, it is in addition a monu
ment to Balto, Gunnar Kasson’s faithful leader, and pro
totype of every child’s most faithful servitor and com
panion, the dog.
The children of the United States who gave to Sew
ard the addition to the splendid institution as represent
ed in the Jesse Lee Home, may feel justly proud of their
achievement. Not only have they erected a monument
of wood and stone, but they have builded monuments in
the hearts of the children who are beneficiary of the Home
and at the same time deserved and are given the sincere
thanks of all Alaskans for their munificence and the spir
it in which it was bestowed. The kiddies of Seward aifd
environs extend the hand of fellowship to the kiddies of
the United States, while their elders send them a message
of greeting and admiration.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mrs. Annie
Hobbs WToodcock, who led the Baltos to an achievement
worthy of their zeal.
OUTLOOK PROMISING
IT is gratifying to read in the Valdez Miner of the fine
1 progress in mining development in that immediate dis
trict. At no time in the history of the Valdez region,
says the Miner, has the outlook appeared so promising
from the mineral standpoint as during the present season.
Seward people rejoice with Valdez residents and sincerely
trust the progress will be permanent.
“LET ME GO”
“Let ME go” is an expression often heard when going
would lead to something pleasant or desirable, but less fre
quently when going means danger and perhaps death.
Last January 16 young Hadley Hull broke through
thin ice while skating near Indianapolis, Ind. A compan
ion started to attempt his rescue when he was held back by
Barton M. Bradley, aged 18, who said:
“Let ME go, Billy*Tm lighter than you.”
Bradley went. The ice failed to hold even his lighter
weight and he perished in the icy waters with his friend.
A few weeks ago the grand council of the Order of De
Molay, in session at Louisville, voted a heroism medal in
Bradley’s name to be presented to his parents. Citizens
of Indianapolis have established a scholarship in his mem
ory.
Most touching of all, the Arsenal Technical school, at
which he was a student, has adopted as its motto Bradley’s
last words: “Let ME go.”
That motto, with its story of heroism accompanying it,
should inspire many a youth with something of Barton
Bradley’s spirit.
It’s a fact! A recent visitor in Seward wanted to
know how many times a year foxes were skinned for their
fur.
With all this put>putting going on around the golf
links, sounds like a fleet of gasboats.
There is no evidence that wild life in Alaska is disap
pearing, but on the other hand can be found not only in
the hills but in the towns.
An Alaskan traveling salesman says that as a sales
man, he only gets two orders in his entire tour through
the Territory, one of which is “get out” and the other
“stay out.”

“ ON SUITS FOR MEN
PARIS, July 12. (JP)—Artificial flow
ers in the masculine buttonhole are
an aftermath of the dress reform for
men which had a short life this year.
Having failed to instill a desire for
ceremonial knee pants among French
men, the tailors are contenting them
selves by brightening business suits
with fabric carnations, small sprays
of bright colored cloth flowers, and
imitation gardenias.

fallen arches?”
Doc: “Rubber heels.”
Hubby:“ What’l! I rub ’em with?”
OPIUM SMUGGLERS USE EGGS
SCERABAJA, Java., July 12. (JP)—
Dutch authorities in the island of
Java have discovered a new trick for
smuggling opium. They were struck
by the extraordinary number of “salt
ed eggs” passing through the customs.
Opening one of the eggs, they found
the inside had been blown out and the
shell filled with liquid opium. About
$1,250 worth of opium was confiscat
ed.
Our family is sure politicious.

Democrat, the baby’s wet, the cow’s
