The First Skyscraper Passes. (New York World) The ehrliest definition of & skyscraper, according to Col. W. A.

YOUNGGREEN, President, International Advetising Association. “Better Citizens Through Better Newspapers'— That is almost axiomatic. The best parents turn out the best children; the best teachers turn out the best students; the best firms turn out the best work- ers. And surely any improvement in “the poor man's university” and “the rich man's postgraduate” must result in better readers—better men and women— better citizens. “I see by the papers” can become a battle slo- gan. Cold type has a tremendous effect on the mind. And the newspaper, with its constant con- tact with the mind must perforce have great power in its influence. Take a newspaper which has proven its value; which has proven its reliability in presenting faclsi and not biased rumors; which has consistently op- ened its columns only to advertisers in whose in- tegrity it has full confidence; fearless, honest, pro- gressive. Hand that newspaper to a thousand, ten thou- sand, five hundred thousand individuals in any locality and see what a concerted idea you will have brought forth. Such a paper is an institution; it is & force which go{'erlls; it can develop the minds and the morals of its readers into almost any shape it desires. And with such a paper as I have described, under the direction of the sort of men who alone would have such ideals, clean minded, forward looking, patriotic, any community can well hold -itself as highly blessed. The paper, on the contrary, which caters to the baser human elements, which displays for the sat- isfaction of a morbid curiosity the frailties and er- rors and the misfortunes of fellow beings, not only soils its own hands in the muck in which it delves but works irreparable harm on the most impression- able part of its community. And if the public would take the pains, by due acknowledgment, to make their choice between filth and cleanliness, between progress and retrogres- sion, between honesty and questionable practices, then we would find our publishers shouldering their heavy burdens with the satisfaction of know- ing their fellow citizens were back of them. A fine community will not necessarily produce a fine paper, nor can a fine newspaper always produce a fine community; but when both work together for the common good of all, there can be no doubt as to the result. ¢ (Note: The above is one of a series of editorials by prominent Americans ‘contributed to The Em- pire as a member of the National Editorial Asso- ciation.) M’KINLEY FOR TWO-CEN STAMP. MOUNT The Postmaster-General is contemplating the is- suance of a completely new series of postage stamps. He is considering many innovations, among them a change from the portraits of famous Americans to illustrations of natural scenes. Suggestions from the people have been asked for. The attention of The Empire has been called to the desirability of having at least one Alaska view on one of the series of stamps that may be in general use. And the man who is interesting himself in the premises suggests that the obvious Alaska view to urge for adoption would be one of Mount McKinley, The circumstance that the mountain is the highest in North America would undoubtedly have a pro- found appeal upon the selecting power. In addition to that is the further circumstance that Mount Mc- Kinley is not only a tall and big mountain but it is beautiful and picturesque. A picture of it would make a very handsome postage stamp as well as one of great interest We suggest that officials, citizens and commer- cial organizations begin a campaign for Mount Mec- Kinley. And let us ask that it be used for the two- cent stamp—we might get the posteard. WILL CONTINUE WEEKLY SERVICE. The loss of the Alaska Steamship Company's liner Alentian has been a severe blow to Alaska as well as to her owners. finest passenger ships that plied in Alaska waters, and with the Yukpn and Alaska constituted the backbone of the splendid service the Alaska Steam- ship Company has been rendering this Territory. However, the Alaska Steamship Company will attempt to continue the fine weekly service that has been maintained for many years. It is the purpose to have the Alaska and Yukon make two- - week round trips instead of thise. The task will be performed by supplementing their work with more and betetr service by the freight ships that are | being operated by the line. The passenger ships She was one of the| iginally only ten stories high, with several stories subsequently added, would not be regarded as a tall building in these days, but its completion in 1885 marked the beginning of a new era not only in architecture but in the urban life of America. The appearance of the skyscrapers was not the result of any sudden flash of genius but the out- ment. The way was prepared for it when a New York hotel installed its first elevator shortly after| the Civil War. Hitherto the height of a building | had been limited to the average individual's stair- climbing abilities. Now the walls could go higher, but if they did so they had to be thicker at the bottom to sustain the added weight. This meant few doors and small windows for the valuable ground floor. Architects then discovered that the walls could be strengthened by combining the masonry with cast iron. These changes were leading to the skyscraper proper, in which the load is shifted from the masonry walls to a steel skeleton. In the first sky-| scraper erected in Chicago wrought iron was used | up to the sixth story. At this point in the con- struction it became possible for the first time to obtain steel beams, and they were employed in the rest of the building. The success of the venture made possible the fifty-story buildings which are going up today. It gave Manhattan its famous sky- line. It added immeasurably to the convenience and efficiency’ of the business office. And it has also multiplied the miseries of traffic congestion. If Estimates Are the Fashion. (Engineering and Minming Journal.) Mining men in Africa are rightly proud of the new Rhodesian copper field, and when anyone underestimates its importance, they take great pains to set the erring one on the righ track. Thus the South African Mining and Engineering Journal, on reading an estimate by a Canadian authority that places United States copper production in 1937 at 800,000 tons, and Chilean, African, and Canadian production at 300,000 tons each, points out that Union Miniere alone will probably be producing 200,000 tons by that time, and that Roan Antelope and N'Kana together will probably be able to produce another 200,000 tons. This makes 400,000 tons for Africa without taking N'Changa, Mufulira, Chambesi, Bwana M'Kubwa, Kansanshi, or Nam- aqua into account. To us, the figure for Chile seems rather low. Production from that country was at the rate of more than 30,000 tons a month in January, 1929, although Braden output was tem- porarily cut in half at that time. The three leading Chilean producers have equipped capacity at present to produce more than 400,000 tons a year, with ore reserves sufficient to insure production at that rate for many years. As a matter of fact, the Canadian estimate to which our South African contemporary took excep- tion was rather conservative. It allowed a produc- tion in 1937 of only 1,700,000 tons of copper from the four countries mentioned.. Even assuming a substantial amount, say 500,000 tons, for countries other than those included in this estimate, total production in 1937 would be placed at but 2,200,000 tons of copper, which, in view of recent develop- ments, seems low. The most interesting point that this discussion brings up seems to us to be the fact that the production from Africa, Chile, and Canada will all be at a comparatively low cost. This is also true of some of the American companies with large reserves. A Mighty Beneficence. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Senator James Couzens has provided a gift to children calling for the expenditure of $17,500,000 in twenty-five years. The name of the donor will not be used or known in connection with this great benefaction. It does not matter what the casuist, the carper or the social radical may say as to how this money was amassed or where it came from. The point is that it is to be expended in the interests of human service and where that service potentially may be developed into lasting good and tremendous pro- portions, like the Rockefeller Foundation, for ex- ample. This gift looks to the well-being of future gen- erations of children and careful provision has been made to guard against any obsession of bureaucracy in the administration of the trust thus created, Mr. Couzens wants the youth of the country told facts which they seldom learn except through bitter experience. He wants them to learn how to live, under what conditions. He wants them to have available clinics and schools. He wants them to learn the value and joy of health and the in- fluences of morality and beauty. He was born poor and tasted of the cup of trial and disillusionment. He wants to protect other boys—and girls—from like experience. Senator Couzens might have built libraries, en- dowed colleges, erected temples of sectarian worship, |established charities of varied sort, but he could not have devoted a portion of his wealth to a come of a long process of evolution and experi- . —a ALONG LIFP’S DETOUR { By SAM HILL H B o R —_— If, However, Is Good Sure, the Dry Law we could enforce And we don't hesitate to say it— If—folks believed in it—and felt It was their duty to obey it. i It Just Has to Be Liquid These Days to Get By Hijackers in Philadelphia- stole a truck load of naptha thinking it was liquor.

There are a lot of girls who mar- ‘ied heroes just before they start- ed over to pull the throne from un- der the Kaiser who may get lem- ons on their next matrimonial ven- ture, but you can bet your last nickel they won't have their eyes dazzled by a uniform again. 3 If daughter is ornamental mother finds her as useful as something a Scotchman has thrown away. Everytime we look at a girl who has all the grace and beauty of form of a scarecrow, going around dressed as near like Mother Eve as the law will allow, we long for the good old days of the styles that enabled the human skeletons to fool us with pads. Another pathetic figure is the poor old hen who thinks diking her self out to look like a walking jewelry store will make her look so superior others will not notice how fat, how homely, and how dumb she looks. A man thinks he is showing real consideration for his wife if he calls her up on a day he knows she has been killing herself with housecleaning to tell her he is} bringing out a guest for dinner he knows she doesn’t like, instead of just walking in with him. After you have met a wife you can tell by looking at her whether the only time her husband opens his mouth around home is to put something like spinach, carrots or other thing he doesn't like, in it. - — SATURDAY, June 1st, is Rem- nant Day at Goldstein’s Empor- fum, —adv.
