PLANE ASSIGNED WEST POINT
WASHINGTON, March 18. (JP)—
With a view of broadening the cur
riculum of West Point dealing with
aerodynamics, which thus far has been
theoretical, an amphibian airplane is
to be assigned to the military acade
my for the primary purpose of improv
ing the instructional facilities along
aeranautical lines for cadets, the De
partment of War has announced. The
plane will be flown to the academy
some time in April.

AQUICULTURE IS
II VIRGIN FIELD;
WATER FARMING
POSSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPMENT
OF PLANT AND ANIMAL WAT.
ER RESOURCES UNLIMITED
WASHINGTON, March 18. (/P)—
Agriculture, or land farming, is> a
highly developed and specialized
science. Schools, colleges, experi
ment stations, research bureaus and
every other agency combine to re
duce the science to exact terms.
Aquiculture, or water farming, ex
ists only as a name, except in so far
as a few practical fish culturists,
now and then a scientific investiga
tor or a goverment bureau may have
developed information.
Water farming is a sadly neglect
ed field, but one which contains un
limited possibilities. The plant and
animal life of the waters is capable
of development, increase and improv
ment comparable with the advances
that have made in land farming. At
present for the most part, the' waters
may be likened to the virgin prairies
and woodlands before they were dis
turbed by man, except in so far as
the waters have been injuriously ef
fected by human agencies. Nothing
of consequence has been done to im
prove them.
The waters are .the natural habitat
of fishes and other aquatic life,
certain fur animals, and manyspecies
of birds.
Jp or the maximum production of
fish life there must be maintained a
balance of plants and animal life.
The adult food and game fishes,
which constitute the crop, are the
result of a long series of relation
ships, the importance of which es
capes the causual observer. Some
thing more than water is required.
Starting with miscropic plants and
animals there must be an unbroken
series of life forms leading up to
the highest. That this combination
may exist requires study of the
chemistry, physics and biology of the
waters and intelligent culture.
So it is with other forms, including
mammals and. birds. The water*
must be “cultivated” to produce a
profitable crop.
Intelligent, scientific cultivation of
water areas of the country would
enormously increase the available
food supply, contribute materially to
the commerce of the country, and
expand opportunities for wholesome
recrejation. Every state university
or other educational institution should
maintain a department, equipped with
field laboratories, for the purpose of
study of equatic resources and their
development.

LONDON, March 18. (JP)—Flapper
grandmothers need not go to de Laz
io if they want to have their pro
traits painted in moderp raiment.*
“How can I paint a beautiful pic
ture of a woman in one of these
modern frocks?” the celebrated art
is-t exclaimed. “There’s nothing to
paint. When, a woman sits down
there is nothing but legs and arms.
Her head is all face and there is no
frame of hair. A young girl of 15 or
16. perhaps, radiating youth, grace
and beauty. But an older woman,
no.”

—Madame Ida Chernoff, beauty advis

blonds would be just as attractive
were her hair raven black and her
eyes deep, shining brown she be
lieves. “It is the woman who gives
a free outlet to her own personality
and cultivates these assets which in
ately possesses whom, gentlemen pre
fer, regardless of her coloring.’’

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. "Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

NOTICE
REPORT—The weird ingenuity possessed! by the strange creature
creature living in the Lake Kenai district, for which an expedition is
now hunting, was exemplified by the finding of a cleverly contrived
skid ramp, constructed, it is supposed, for the purpose of beaching
the carcass of one of the two horses lost in the lake some time ago.
By the number of tracks and the condition of the log ends, it is
assumed that the animal is employing a couple of beavers to do its
engineering work.
Scattered bones betokened the fact that the creature had dined
on' one of the horses before leaving for the upper end of they lake. The
hunt grows exciting.
