JULIUS ROSENWALD
Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist who died yesterday
in Chicago, frequently disclaimed credit for the develop
ment of his business, declaring its success was due to
those with whom he worked. On one ocassion he told an
interviewer :
“The fellow at the top usually gets too much credit.
Often he gets credit for ideas that come from the brains
of his fellow workers. What could any man do if none
would help him? I have played only a very small part.”
“A man who thinks much and talks little—a man of
action,” was a colleague’s description of the commercial
genius who directed the growth of a great business and
who gave millions of dollars.
A FOX FUR RACKET
A racket new in details, if not in principle, is going
the rounds in the States. A ear resembling a store de
livery truck, stops beside a parked auto in which there is
an occupant, and the truck driver offers to sell at an at
tractively reduced price, a fox fur which he got under
circumstances that did not require him to account to his
employer. The purchaser is lucky if the article turns out
to be a good grade of cat skin.
SNUFF! SNUFF!
To those who do not happen to be addicted to the
habit, the information that 41,000,000 pounds of snuff
are used in the United States yearly, may come as a sur
prise. It was to the writer w'ho has found much content
ment in the olfactory gargle since a mere child in arms.
Snuff has been used since the middle of the 16th cen
tury and now constitutes an important branch of the to
bacco industry. Which reminds us that here is one item,
millions of the public enjoy, which has not yet been pro
hibited by those who which to take all the pleasures of
this life from ordinary mortals.
Contrary to general opinion, there are no snoose
mines in Alaska. But that is not to be sneezed at.
Some people are so modest, avers Sourdough Bill,
that they shrink at facing the naked truth.
Alleging a conspiracy afoot to steal his mining prop
erty which he claims is worth “80 billion dollars” an in
terior resident attempts to prove the good quality of
Alaska moonshine by saying he shot down the moon and
stars after shooting his partner.
An Alaska College chemist says man is composed of
glue—that is, principally. Still, many fail to stay with
anything for any definite period.
Correct this sentence: “If an effort to overcome pre
sent economic conditions, members of congress will not
play politics at this session.
Down in Southeastern Alaska a would-be sword
swallower nearly choked to death on a toothpick made
from a Tongass spruce. He should use only implements
that are kind to his throat.

Editor, Seward Gateway:
“I read your article appearing in i
the December 21 issue of the Sew
ard Gateway which stated that the
new quarter million dollar Signal
Corps Anchorage radio station was
more or less of a flop, etc, etc. The
article was interpreted as to be in
fun only; however, in good sports
manship, I would appreciate your
printing of the following informa
tion which is correct to the best of
my knowledge:
“The Anchorage radio station
was first called into service with
the States during the last cable
brqak. All the communications or
dinarily handled via the long-es
tablished Seward cable station were
handled by the incompleted An
chorage radio station. At that time
less than one-third of the equip
ment had been installed and only
one-tenth of the power intended
was available; therefore, a large
percentage of efficiency was lost
but the business was moved. To do
this, it was necessary to hastily
construct temporary transmitting
antennas amidst the mess of per
imanent antennas under construe
jtion, so still more efficiency was
'lost.
i “The Anchorage transmitting
(station is now' completed and has
ibeen functioning very nicely. How
ever, transmitting is just part of
the business. Reception in NOISY
i Alaska is another thing. All the
receiving of the signals from the ;
States is now being done on tem
porary antennas. The construction 1
of a directional receiving antenna
system is now under way. This is
quite an undertaking at this time
; of the year as the completed sys
jtem will be quite an elaborate af
! fair. Local labor is being used for
this w-ork and the first unit will j
probably be completed within sixty;
days. Eventually there will be three
such units.
“It was not intended to abandon j
the cable immediately but to keep
it in a standby position as long as
it would hold up as, naturally, it is
very desirable to have auxiliary
equipment for emergencies. This
can be appreciated when the cable
j breaks of the past are recalled,
when no auxiliary channels were
available.
“The Anchorage relay station is
handling approximately 1,000 mes
sages daily and this is the dull sea
son for communications. It is ad
i mitted that the new radio system
i is a baby in arms but its growth
, and success are Inevitable. I per
: sonally ’ believe that the Signal
| Corps has undertaken to give Alaska
a service that no commercial com
pany, under conditions, would have
attempted to foster. Without doubt,
our experience of today is our suc
cess tomorrow.”
LADIES REMEMBER!
The heels pi over-shoes, when
worn through, can be recondition
ed and made as good as new. Why
throw them away when they can
be repaired?
