A POPULAR CHORD
When Justice Adam Beeler of the State Supreme Court of Wash
ing. who is to oppose Senator Jones in the forthcoming elections, says
that Senator Jones has for 34 years been oblivious to the fact that “to
the north of us there is the great empire of Alaska,” he has ample
grounds upon which to base the arraignment.
During his term of office, the record shows that Senator Jones has
at no time led a movement for according justice to the Territory. On
the other hand, he has favored discriminations as shown in the shipping
bill which justify the charge that he has been unfriendly.
Had Washington given Alaska due consideration and displayed any
save a disinterested attitude, it would now be absorbing millions of
people congesting the States and been going on her own.
NOT SO TOUGH
Wilfred C. Stump, mentioned in a recent Washington letter, will |
be remembered as “Toughy” by many who are acquainted with his juv- j
enile history. The name “Toughy” was a misnomer, for there was!
nothing tough about Wilfred despite the fact that, at the age of 10, he ;
was one of the cleverest boxers who ever entered an Alaskan ring.!
Wilfred was deservedly the King ot Anchorage Boyville.
Being abld to lick anything of his weight and then some, his prow- ;
es was not given over to demonstrating this fact until some rival for his !
crown was caught imposing upon a weaker kiddo. He first tried suasion !
and if that did not work, he began throwing knuckles so fast his oppon- J
ent thought it was hailing.
As noted, Wilfred will graduate from the University of Washington I
this year and will take up the study of law. And it may be noted in
passing that Alaska is turning out a larger percentage of successes,
following higher education, than any area of like population in the
nation. The last decade has seen dentists, doctors, mining engineers,
aviators, journalists and other professions emerge from what were mere
boys a few years ago.
THE STING OF IRONY
If the President of the United States were insulted in a foreign
country, and amends were not immediately forthcoming, the nation
would ring with cries for war. It he were kidnapped and held prisoner
in his own land, the machinery of Army and Navy, police force and
secret service would be called into action.
In the case of the Lindbergh, baby, something equally affecting the
nation is at stake. It is the symbol of American youth and marital
happiness, in fact, the American home, that bulwark of the nation. True,
other children have been kidnapped, but this compares with the Lind
bergh kidnapping as the robbing of a bank would be with attacking
the national treasury.
It is ironical indeed that the newspapers of New York boldly assert
that two gang leaders have the key to the kidnapping. Yet Colonel
Lindbergh was compelled to be bled for money and forced to forego the
ridiculous aid of the machinery of the law and conduct his own nego
tiations and try to save his child.
Until there is some sign to the contrary, it would seem that the
great metropolitan cities are more honeycombed with criminals than
decent people.
It must be satisfactory to the gangsters to see their sinister coun
tenances displayed in the press, along with such titles as "Big Shots,"
‘‘Kings of the Underworld,” etc.
Either they are what is claimed and thus bigger than the United
States government or they are being libeled. In that case, there would
be more in recovering damages from the press than in the kidnapping
business.
An Anchorage candidate for the Legislature is reported to have
approached a doctor and had his tonsils removed. “Can I make good
political speeches when they are healed up?’’ he asked the medico.
“Weil, you certainly can’t do any worse,” said the M. D.
Science claims that the position of the eyes reveal characteristics
of the ox and horse, such as digestive and mental traits. Now we know
the origin of radio announcers and crooners.
Now that Heinie Berger won a share of the Ice pool, The Gateway
force is awaiting his return to Seward to put a half-Nelson around his
wind pipe and extract a few pellets from that bankroll.
New York has just completed a palatial prison at Attica, which has
a banquet hall resembling that of a palatial hotel. Evidently, there is
a desire not to reduce Tammany’s standard of living in case anything
happens.
The Nome Nugget in commenting on the reindeer display, observes,
“the Alaska Livestock & Packing Company hopes eventually to lead in
canned dog foods.” Then they have got to go some to overtake the
Chicago packers, even though they have an edge on canine raw material.
King George sent his crown to the cleaners. Spain preceded him
several months.
An eminent physician says children should be encouraged to walk
on all fours. Well, aren’t we back in the jungle?
Now comes the College for Anglers. So that’s the new name for
Wall Street?
Dean Inge says that a church which goes into politics comes out
badly smirched. Which is a polite way of saying that the prohi cult
ists will have an abundance of filthy lucre.
France is purchasing talking clocks which, instead of striking, an
nounce each hour, minute and second. Over here they marry them.
New York apartments are said to be getting so small that a man
can cuss his wife in only one syllable.
The manufacture of totem poles is becoming an industry in the
States. Apparently there is where the most savages reside. '■
DEMONSTRATION IN
THE PREPARATION OF
SALADS IS FEATURED
Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen, home
economics specialist of the Exten
sion Service of the Alaska College,
gave a demonstration on the pre
paration of salads immediately
following the business meeting of
the Ladies Aid at the parsonage
Thursday.
The secret of a never-fail may
onnaise is in starting with hot
vinegar added to the egg yoke and
adding the oil in small quantities
at first till the dressing is smooth.
The oil may then be added in lar
ger quantity without danger of
curdling providing it is neither too
warm nor too cold.
A number of salads were prepar
ed from combinations of grated
cabbage, carrots, apples, pineap
ple and pickled onion, and potato
salad, samples of which formed
the refreshments supplemented by
meat loaf and hot rolls furnished
by Mrs. E. E. Reisner.
Besides the cooking demonstra
tions Mrs. Fohn-Hansen made sev
eral fitted patterns and some
hooked rug patterns, while in the
city. Extension Service is support
ed mainly by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture for the purpose of
assisting home-makers i n their
everyday problems. Many of the
government bulletins on cooking,
canning, baking, cleaning, window
curtaining, infant care and the fit
ting of dresses and blouses, besides
agricultural bulletins may be ob
tained free from the Extension
Service. College, Alaska.
Mrs. Fohn-Hansen said much of
the success of the meetings was
iue to the cooperation of the local
Woman’s Club, of which Mrs. Leon
LJrbach is president, and especially
to its home economics division of
which Mrs. E. E. Reisner is chair
man.
AKRON OVER FRISCO
SAN FRANCISCO. May 13.—The

picking a course where it is not'
accessary to rise to high altitudes, i
rhe Akron went over Los Angeles
rhursday and it was expected it
will arrive in Sunnyville before

Mrs. Webb and daughter, former
ocal residents, returned Thursday
from the States.
ROAD MEN LAID OFF
It is reported that orders were
received locally Thursday to dis
continue all road work here and
at Moose Pass where maintenance
work has just begun by the Bur
eau of Public Roads. It is believed
the work was halted under direct
orders from Washington, D. C.,
where President Hoover and gov
ernment officials conferred Thurs
day night seeking ways to lop off
$300,000,000 from existing budgets.
Frank Hoseth, popular chief ra
dioman, is again at his old berth
on the SS Yukon. During the last
winter Chief Hoseth was assigned
to a freighter.
A few civil matters were heard
in the local court today before
Judge E. Coke Hill including sev
eral naturalization cases.
Gus Gelles, well known Anchor
age broker and head of the Alas
ka Guides Association, returned on
the SS Yukon from a business trip
