GREAT ACTIVITY ANNOUNCED
BY SMITHSONIAN INSTI
TUTION
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. (/P)— Forty
expeditions into the four quarters of
the globe were undertaken by the
Smithsonian Institution in the interest
of scientific research during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1926, according
to a summary of the annual report of
the activities of the institution made
public on December 9.
Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, submitted his
report for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1926, to the Board of Regents at
its annual meeting yesterday. The
report reveals that during the year
the institution directed or took part in
40 scientific expeditions to the four
corners of the globe. This great ac
tivity in the “increase of knowledge”
was accomplished in spite of a seri
ous handicap in funds and thanks
largely to the generosity of private
citizens and organizations.
Major Expeditions Listed
The major expeditions included one
to Algeria, Egypt, India, and South
Africa for the selection of a site for a
third solar radiation station to co
operate with the two in North and
South America now operated by the
Smithsonian; it was made possible by
a grant of §55,000 from the National
Geographic Society. They also in
cluded an anthropological survey of
Europe, Southern Asia, Java, Austra
lia and South Africa, which covered .
over 50,000 miles, in cooperation with
the Buffalo Society of Natural Sci
ences; an expedition to collect live
wild game in East Africa, financed
by Walter P. Chrysler; and an ex
tensive study of the shrimps, crabs
and other crustaceans of South Amer
ica on the Smithsonian’s Walter Rath
bone Bacon traveling scholarship.
Of the other expeditions, archeology
and ethnology claimed sixteen—one in
China and the others in regions reach
ing from Alaska to Florida; geology,
paleontology, and mineralogy account- .
ed for another ten—to the Canadian
Rockies, Mexico, Europe, and various
States in this country; botany was
represented by four to Haiti, Jamaica,
Central America, and Europe.
PIED PIPER IS PAGED BY TOWN
TO REMOVE MANY RODENTS
TAFT, Calif., Jan. 7. (/P)—Hordes of
field rats have swarmed over thii
town since recent heavy rains have
flooded them out of their domiciles in
the bottom of the usually arid Buena
Vista lake near here. Taft citizens
are making extensive efforts to ex
terminate the rodents before a plague
occurs, so sweeping is their occupa
tion of the town.'

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."
