POLICY ONE FIRST ICTS
WASHINGTON, April 5. (/P)—Sec
retary Hubert Work literally adheres
to an “open-door” policy in his elab
orately appointed office in the Inter
ior Department. Unlike his fellow
cabinet members, who keep strictly
to pre-arranged appointments, and
carry on their daily tasks behind
closed doors, all one needs to do to
see the secretary is to walk right in
and await the secretary’s pleasure.
The massive oak doors to his office
are always open.

a
J Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
« the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
t faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and

* er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
* a high purpose can be resized,
i
: The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
* stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
S Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
[ the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
J ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

health, quarantine and moras, to

The committee recommended that af
ter the design has been seected the
Legsilature appropriate the sum of

The committee recommended that
the Speaker appoint a committee of

' WORKS OUT NEW SEXTANT
OBSERVATION
WASHINGTON, April 5 (IP)—Many
stirring tales have been suggested by
the terrors which beset shipwrecked
seamen, unable to determine their
position. Their plight has usually
been due to inability to observe the
sun at noon, solar time. Now, how
ever, naval authorities in all parts of
the world are showing great interest
in a formula worked out by the Rev.
Alan S. Hawkesworth of the Protest
lant Episcopal church, who served as
| a mathemetician in the Navy’s Bur
j eau of Ordinance during the World
War.
“By sextant observation on the two
stars forming the pointer of the Great j
Bear, or the upright of the Southern ;
Cross,” he explains, “a navigator can
j tell his exact position at any moment
I during the night. And castaway sai-j
j lors with no sextant or other in
* !
j strument can approximately but def
initely tell their position within 10 or
15 miles, thus avoiding the horrors
of aimless drifting.
“In the northern hemisphere (for
instance:) imagine a huge clockface
aroud the Pole star, with 12 above
and six below—in the usual fashion.
Take as our hour hand upon this im
aginary clock-face the stars called
the “Pointers’ and the Great Bear or
Dipper. Read the hour indicated
thereby, and add to it the number of
months, and fractions of the month,
elapsed since January 1. Double this *
sum, and subtract it from 52% or
28% or 4%, the test for which of
these three constants we must use
being that the remainder must be
positive, yet less than 24. The result
will be the true solar time—reckoned
from midnight—with 12 to 24 for P.
M. time”.
