AIR MAIL TO ASIA
What is perhaps the most ambitious air mail pre
lect ever considered is to connect the United States
and Canada with China and Japan, if plans tentatively
made, and announced a few weeks ago, by officials of
the two North Ameircan countries can be put into
effect. These plans were discussed by Assistant Post
master General Glover while in Canada, and upon his
return to Washington, he expressed confidence in the
feasibility of the project. The proposed route would
begin in 'the United States, cross Canada into Alaska,
and over to the eastern edge of Soviet Russia, and ter
minate in China and Japan.
All the territory to be covered by the route has j
been flown over experimentally, and there appear to
'be no serious physical obstacles to the establishment
of regular schedules, which would reduce the time of
mail in transit as much as two weeks in some cases.
This route, Mr. Glover s aid, would be in keeping
with the world-wide trend of the air mail, for which
regular trans-Atlantic service is also definitely contem
plated.
PRINCESS ROYAL
The Princess Royal (Louise) who died Sunday in
London, was the eldest daughter of Queen Alexandra
and the late King Edward VII, and was particularly
acted
n
Oi
tne royal
family of Great
Britain
hie to her retiring disposition and her aversion to pub
licity. Because of this characteristic, which developed
in her early, girlhood, she became known as “her royal
shyness,” a nickname that had been associated with
her all her life.
Noth withstanding her retiring disposition, the
Princess developed a strong personality and took a
firm and unalterable stand when she made a decision.
Although her grandmother, Queen Victoria, planned
that she should marry a foreign prince, she fell in love
with Lord Fife whom she married in 1889. The union
was a very happy one; two' daughters were born, Prin
cess Arthur of Connaught, and Lady Maud Carnegie.
Princess Royal, which named was bestowed upon
her by her father, was the first member of the royal
family to take an active iiiterest in moving picture en
tertainments. In recent years she devoted much of her
time to philanthropic work. She was a favorite with
her brother, King George, as well as with Queen Marie.
King George often characterized his sister as his ‘min
istering angel,” with reference particularly to the time
when as a boy he faced many difficulties and had no
expectations of ascending the throne.
SANTA IN QUANDARY
By now the toys are pretty much kicked around
and battered and the dolls are sitting goggled-eyed
wondering what’s going to happen next. Childhood has
had its glorious fling. Santa Claus has gone back to
his northern realms carrying many a jovial chuckle
under his capacious belt buckle.
He’s a good, old scout and we know he’s beginning
to think up things already that he will spring on us
when he comes again. He’s probably pretty tired and
has his mukluks drying by the fire while he toasts his
toes. He’s saying to his wife, as he stirs his toddy, “Do
you know, Mary? I’ll either have to get another rein
deer team or go down and shoot that stork.”

Mr. Fiory had no particular j
message to deliver beyond hop- j
ing for the continued excellent j,
; cooperation of the chamber in j
| all constructive matters. He said i
! he hoped Seward would contrive
to send a large delegation to the

for January 31. He said that it
is practically finished and is a
beautiful building, a credit to

; There was a communication

'that delegation comes to Alaska
in June it is hoped that the

I stay of several hours at least
in Seward.
; There were several inquiries
