DON’T ELIMINATE MARATHON RACE
There has been some talk as to eliminating the Mar
athon Mountain race this year, on the 4th of July. We can
see no logical reason why it should be. Regardless of the
size of the purse the majority of the athletes will want
to run it anyway; for the sport of it. The Marathon
Mountain race should not be left off the program this
year for by so doing one? of Seward’s assets will be thrown
away.
Wait until the Signal Corps boys read the dispatch

ALASKA RE-DISCOVERED
Patrons of moving picture theaters have been treat
ed for years with glimpses of the wonders of the world.
But Captain Jack Robertson, in his “Alaskan Adventures’’
presented at the local theater the past two nights, pre
sented an array of Alaskan scenics which even the “Sour
doughs” look upon with astoniishment. The scenic gran
deur of Alaska and many other interesting, odd, out-of-i
the ordinary things in Alaska, were skillfully filmed and!
\autuat a doubt excell all other portions of the globe.
Many Alaskans really discovered Alaska for the first
time when they viewed the results of Captain Robertson’s 1
years of hard work.
A statistician estimates that there are 75,000,000,000
birds in the world. Now let some bird figure out how
many insects, worms, etc., it takes to feed 'em.
Lindbergh recently applied for a renewal of his com

2,520 hours in the air in flying 200,000 miles, and had car-'
ried 7,000 passengers. Officials decided that he was well;
qualified.
