N GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION THE SOVIET AND CHINA AND THE PROBLEM THEY PRESENT. The Soviet and China are pretty hard nuts for the League of I Neither of tions to crack countries is like unless it belicves it necessary to do so as a matter | of self-protection. In other words, if the Soviet thought it could gobble up Manchuria or a large slice of Mongolia it would do so no matter what might be the desires of the League or China in the premises. If China could drive the Russians out of Manchuria and make the Mongolian boundary safe against Soviet aggressions she would send her armies into action immediately regardless of the League's wishes. The interest of each of the contending | countries in peace begins and ends with a great de: re not to get licked. Each of them would seek wiiuout a blush the aid of the League to prevent the other from winning a war. Each of them would fight without blushing if it believed that victory would be the result. That situation is one that makes this problem of permanent peace a very difficult matter. If all the countries would enter into peace pacts in the spirit that obtains in the English and German speak- ing nations, France, Italy and other countries of ad- vanced civilization it would be different, but there are a lot of peoples that are still where the mod- ern nations were—when shall we say? Yesterday? If the Russian Soviet and China would go to war it is not difficult to see Japan in it soon. And then, what? Probably hands off with other coun- tries and Soviet defeat, but who knows? SOLVI NAVIGATION DIFFICULTIES. A great steamship goes ashore on a lonely island in the Pacific. Within 24 hours a distant U. S. Coast Guard cutter comes at full speed and takes her off the rocks, starts with the crippled vessel| to a safe harbor, and a powerful salvage steamship | with all necessary equipment is enroute to the haven | of safety to repair the vessel, that she might continue with her cargo on her way from San Fran- cisco to Japan. The last few decades have solved some of the gravest of the difficulties that beset navigation of distant seas in the days when civiliza- tion was a long way from the North Pacific. THAT TIRED FEELING. people losing their Is the “tired business man” an auctuality? The answer of Dr. C. W. Dowden of Louisville, Ky, is “yes.” And two of the reasons are moonshine and auto- mobiles. Speaking at one of the concluding scien- tific sessions of the American Medical As- sociation convention here today, Dr. Dowden asserted that exhaustion is a constantly growing compalint in America. He named four principal reasons: 1. The World War and its effect on the mental make-up of the people. 2. The influenza epidemic and its per- sistent after effects. 3. The quantity of bad alcohol drunk by both men and women. 4. Carbon monoxide saturation of the at- mosphere, due to the increasing number of automobiles. Marital discord and financial wo Are the American world famous “pep?” were other factors seen by Dr. Dowden in this peplessness. In a study of situation, thé physician found that about one out of every five per- sons who had called on him in the last two years actually had no specific disease, they were consulting him because of ex- haustion. “This type o¢f exhaustion apparently is due to depletion of the person as a whole rather than any form of glandular disease, to which other forms of exhaustion are as- cribed,” he explained. “It may be considred under two prin- cipal reasons: Chronic infection in the respiratory and in the biliary tract, and mental depression as a result of emotionsl, financial or business worries. “Unless the cause is found and corrected, the person will not respond satisfactorily no matter what medicine he may take. For instanuce, his condition may be due to marital discord, and there can be no solu- tion of the health problem until the marital situation is permanently corrected.”—(New York World.) “Who's Who in America” contains no data about Dr. Dowden, but we suspect that he and his friends are becoming somewhat aged and he is trying to discover a reason for the changed conditions of the health of men of the present from the health of the same men at earlier ages. We do not believe that men are becoming “‘tired business men” at a younger age now than they became a generation ago. If that belief is based on facts, Dr. Dowden's ‘theories are not so important. | When one considers how science has reduced the waits between jumps, thereby eliminating a lot v to pay any attention to the League | of compulsory resting and intensifying the oppor- tunities for hard work, the health of business men is not faring worse than in gone by years. The chances are that accurate statistics would show the present generation going stronger than its pre- decessors. Charles “Chic” Sales recently in an impassioned address before the St. Louis Advertising Club urged the revival of the old-fashioned zither as a means “to stamp out the saxophone.” Those St. Louis fliers who are attempting a three-weeks’' stay in the air are doing a lot in the name of endurance for their plane—and themselves. They have been going two weeks already. We could look with equanimity upon a reduc- tion in the output of one thriving American indus- try. We could easily get along with fewer stories about the Scotch. Saving the Salmon Industry. (Seward Gateway.) When crows were caught pulling up a New Eng- land farmer’s corn along about the year the Pil- grim Fathers found time to put in a crop between picking Indian arrows out of their rumps, society voted thumbs down for the crow and his kindred. One must have corn or crows and corn won. But when the fisher “farmer” of Alaska com-| plains that various predatory elements, such as sea-| lions, gulls and their kindred are, like crows, tak- ing a terrible toll of their raw material, and sub- mit evidence to prove it, they are met by the senti- mentlities of those steeped in the brow of aesthetic culture, which offer a brief for scavengers of the deep as necessities to sooth the delicate sensibilities of sight. Hence we have such meddlesome personalities as Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, President of the Na- tional Audubon Society, New York City, importuning the |the Agriculture Department to put a ban upon de- stroying gulls and other predatory birds. According to Henry O'Malley, of the Bureau of Fisheries, it was necessary to slay gulls and| submit their stomachs to the learned sentimental- ist to convince him that gulls actually lived on fish! That they actually ate young fish! That being indiscriminate with respect to palate, they considered a young salmon as toothsome as stickle- back and far more easy to swallow! Evidently the doctor has missed the excitement of seeing a gull swallow an eight-inch herring. { It might be news to the doctor to learn that a small ganet, or sea pigeon, killed recently by a boy on Cook Inlet, carried 27 inch-long salmon in its viscera; that at the time the boy smashed a Federal statute, there were 23 such birds sniping baby salmon from the creek while they were en- deavoring to reach deep water. Multiply 37 by 23 and we have a decimation equal to 851 salmon in the two hours when the tide was running. Continue this for a period of a week or 10 days, as the time when young salmon are leaving their cradle, and one begins to learn what is depleting the salmon more rapidly than trapping or over- fishing. It was not necessary for the New England farmer to catch crows and submit their crops to academic debate. The mere catching him in the act of pulling corn was sufficient. And salmon as a staple diet of food ranks along with corn. Alaska College Impressive. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Col. Stewart, formerly head of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, passed through Ketchikan a few days ago. He made a round trip to Interior Alaska. Man of might that he has been and is, brainy executive who after being thrown out of the Chairmanship of the Board of the company which he did so much to build, was voted an annual in- come of $50,000, a judge of materials and of men, he was most impressed in the Territory by the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines and by its head, Dr. C. E. Bunnell. He is but one of many import#ht personages who has been so impressed. . Under other guidance the college would have amounted to little. Under Dr. Bunnell it has made rapid strides, has interested men of power, vision and importance. The President of the, institution may feel complimented that these men are taking x:n dlnterest in the work he is doing and planning o do. Yellow Fever Still a Menace. (New York Times.) While yellow fever has been eliminated from the Canal Zone, an epidemic in Rio de Janeiro caused 193 deaths in the first three months of 1929. Dr. Paul A. Lewis of the Rockefeller Institute died of yellow fever at Bahia, where evidently it has claimed other victims. There is still much work to be done before South Ameica is immune. In tropical Africa, particularly on the Gold Coast, yellow fever is still so dangerous that the Rockerellex: Foundation said in a recent report it could not ask bacteriologists to volunteer. Yet they went to Accra to fight the disease and undertake laboratory research. But Dr. Noguchi, his assistant, Dr. Will- lam Alexander Young, and Professor Adrian Stokes were infected and gave their lives for science. P Y, 2 Picks Park for Reappointment. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Gov. George A. Parks, on arrival in Seattle on his way back to Alaska from the National Capital, was interviewed. He said he had nothing to say regarding his own possible reappointment or that of a successor. s Prediction is here and now made, after due medi- tation, consideration, investigation and concentrated gazing into the crystal globe that Gov. Parks will succeed himself.

An optimist is a groom who thinks he’s going to be boss if the bride says she doesn’t object to the “Obey” being left in the ceremony. There are times when the weath- | er seems to be trying to see if it can change as often and quickly as a woman's mind. If men and women wore the same kind of clothes there would be a lot of husbands going around in their wives’ cast off finery. There's one consolation about this bareleg fad—the skin on the pegs doesn’t get full of wrinkles the way it does on the face, and the fifty- year old ones won't look any worse than the twenty-year old ones do. We are used to women's weird styles in clothes, but if the men ever come out with bacKless shirts. short pants and barelegs the world will laugh to death. The trouble with the average husband is that he expects his wife to do so many things she ex-| pects him to make enough money to hire others to do. When a man gets false teeth he quits trying to eat butterscotch candy, but he never reaches the time when he’ll quit thinking he can win an argument with his wife. people who seem to have so much more than you, also have (that they don't make such a show of) are unpaid bills.
