THE “LIAR OF THE MONTH”
Now that we have had the champion pole sitter, the
champion gum chewer, etc., it remains for Ernest Walker
Sawyer, special assistant of Secretary Wilbur, to create
a new class. Mr. Sawyer, who for years has devoted most
of his efforts toward interesting Outside people in the
Territory and, with Donald MacDonald, kept the propos
ed International Highway a live subject, nominates Jan
Welzl, author of “Thirty Years In the Golden North,”
hailed as the book of the month, for Champion Liar of
*he Month.
After reading Welzl’s piracy of Baron Munchausen,
Paul Bunyon, Guhiver and Ananias, Mr. Sawyer is re
ported to have gone upstairs, kicked the works out of a
$300 radio sat, chased the cat into the garret, and would
have wrecked the place, but for having spotted his type
writer. Thereupon Mr. Sawyer “took his inkstiek in his
mitt” and told Time Magazine how ordinarily urbane and
unperturbed individuals could contract a sudden virru
lent attack of heebe jeebies and begin tossing the crock
ery at the head of the wife of his bosom.
When Mr. Sawyer read that Welzl had driven a wag
on across the Gobi desert and far into the Arctic before
Roy Chapman Andrews found the dinosaur eggs, it made
goose bumps race up and down his spine; when Welzl told
of Eskimo girls of six and eight years giving birth to
children, being a doctor, Mr. Sawyer found the goose
bumps had grown into stiff bristles. Bue when Welzl told
of driving a string of 350 malamutes with a leader at
tached to a rope one-half mile long, they had to call in the
plumber to replace the heating system, while four sinister
looking individuals with “Keeper” printed on their caps
got him into a straight jacket and gave him a sleeping
powder.
The only high-light Welzl omitted in pirating the
stuff of Bunyon, et ul, was the retelling of the story of
the “Frozen Words.” No better setting could have been
created than on the “frozen trail.”
This would give him an alibi on the 350-cylinder
cussabout episode. But maybe the author had in view in
troducing the ladio-phone, wTith an antenna strung be
tween the leader’s ears and his scut, and the receiver at
'tached to his crouper bone.
Mr. Sawyer must remember that others saw strange
sights ’neath the Northern Lights,” and that in these
Volt-stead days when it is not uncommon for those in the
Arctic to see man-stealing birds, purple whales wearing
pink teddies and playing saxophones, it is difficult to be
hard on one of the Welzl type.
And another thing: there are no halfway measures
:n Alaska. When a man’s a liar his quality compares with
Mount McKinley.
According to treasury figures there is $20,331,000,000
tied up in tax-exempt bonds issued by the United States.
Thus the government borrows from the banks to get
money to loan to banks, while the banks invest in gov
ernment bonds. Great game.
The Indians of early days believed that silence is a
good equipment for a journey.
Mrs. Scrooge—Well, the Democrats have cut off
Brother Smoot’s career.
Mrs. Enooge—Isn’t it a shame. He was so fond of
children.
