SUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA CIRCULATION THAN 3 AT OF A" Y OTHER PUBLICATION. TWO NCOTABI R DECISIONS. last wcek at Legion The America: its annual convention in Detroit took two cecisive steps which deserve commendation from all plea to them to refrain [rom further bonus de- mands, emphatically rejocted a resolution urging the Government to cash in full the adjusted cer- tificates which, under the terms of the act provid- ing them, do not fal' duec u'.til 1945, In this the Legionnaires followed the counsel of | wise leaders, includng Maj Gei: James G. Harbord, Maj. Gen. Walker T. Hines and its then National Commander O'Neil, all of whom warned their com- rades that the nation's finances are not now in condition to permit addit.onal bonus payments without serious resuiis affecting the welfare of the whole country. Ablebodied veterans do well to forego further requests for Government financial aid at this time.. Their chief concern now, and in the future, ought to be in stressing the need for every possible care of the war's greatest sufferers, the disabled and sick who are dependent upon the Government for succor. The nation ought not to permit one of these to want for anything, and the American Legion has the right to see that it/ does not fail in this matter. The second notable decision of the veterans was their overwhelming vote of approval for a resolution demanding a referendum on the Eighteenth Amend- | ment by the people of each and every State. we ' hope Alaska was included in it. It went on record | on this disputed issue after the Convention's Reso- lutions Committee had failed to make any recom-‘ mendation on the subject. Certainly it was proper for this organization of exservice men to express‘ its views, and to ask that the Amendment be sub-: mitted to a popular vote. Wet or Dry, will commend the action which, of course, will bring down on the heads of the Legionnaires condemnation from the fanatical lead- ers of such combinations as the Anti-Saloon League and the Board of Temperance, Public Morals, etc., of the Methodist Church. The American Legion was severely criticised last year when it forced the bonus legislation through Congress. In rejecting the propositon for immediate payment in full of the adjusted service certificates | Presidential and taking a positive stand on the Eighteenth Amendment dispute, it has done much to restore | its prestige and silence the critics of its 1930 bonus activities.

And those organizations that have been working for years to overturn the National Prohibition Amendment are redoubling their efforts in that| direction. MEASURING AIR GUSTS. A gust-recording instrument adapted from the ‘common cup anemometer by C. F. Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau, is proving useful in maneuv- ‘ermg the Akron in and out of its dock, according ito reports from the Akron .(Ohio) Airport, where [the mechanism was recently installed on top of the weather observation tower near the mooring i ground of the giant dirigible. Exact knowledge of the movement of the air Weath- er Chief Marvin points out, is extremely important {in deciding when to taks off and when to land ‘\'\th lighter-than-air craft. The Akron's navigators, | therefore, are vitally interested in the velocity of | the wind at all times, as well as in the performance jof their ship under different wind velocities, as‘ ‘r(»cmdpd by the new anemometer during each flight The modified gust-measuring mechanism consists jessentially of an anemometer with three aluminum lcu))s sets up on the roof of an observation tower, |connected by wires with a recording device in a Iroom below. A magneto attached to the axis of the revolving system of cups generates a current or‘ electricity that varies with the speed at which the | cups are spun by the wind. This current, sent| on by wires to hte room below, moves the pen on a (band of paper which passes along fast enough to| record in full detail each momentary oscillation of the wind. An ordinary anemometer, Chief Marvin found, | !will not fill the modern need, because the cups m*eJ causing some lag and loss of time in Very light paper cups proved satisfactory under laboratory conditions, but they were not durable enough to stand the stress and strain of actual use under outdoor conditions. Cups made of aluminum proved satisfactory, as they are light, turn quickly, and| iregister variable velocities effectively. {too heavy, The Coolidge Fetish. | (Cincinnati Enquirer.) { The movement designed to enlist support for the fplan to “draft” former President Coolidge for the 'R.epubllcan nomination next year is assinine and ‘ndlculous. It is to be assumed that the sponsors of the movement have acted without the knowledge, consent or approval of Mr. Coolidge. Under the Presidency of Mr. Coolidge the coun- ltry enjoyed an era of prosperity without precedent !in the annals of the Nation; but Mr. Coolidge had no more to do with the bringing on and maintenance | (of that prosperity than the man in the moon, and | Ino one is better aware of the fact than Mr. Coolidge himself. Mr. Coolidge was fortunate in his incumbency. but he knows that no individual can “call back pros- perity.” He did not create the prosperity of his jincumbency in office. He was a wise and competent ,ruler and his flair for economy was of great assist- |ance in the administration of his office. He rode| the crest of a favorable, irresistible tide. The movement will amount to nothing. It !should not. It certainly has no sanction from him. He could have been renominated had he wished | to be, and doubtless would have been reelected. 'He was wise enough not to wish to succeed himself in office. He may have foreseen what has happened to this country and the world. His country had bestowed upon him all the honors that any reason- able man could desire. He served well. He was through. He said so, and he meant it. He should not now be called upon to serve the interest of “disinterested” or foolish friends—or to be made the victim of their ineptitude. Governor Roosevelt is really certain to get the nomination next year; but in case there are any lingering doubts on the subject |anywhere, the Republican opposition in New York IState will remove them in the very near future— (New York Times.)

Heavy increase in travel over the Richardson Highway is report- ed by William Sitts, foreman of the Alaska Road Commission camp at Mile 17 out of Valdez. During day working hours, in August, 618 motor vehicles, including pas- senger cars and freight trucks, passed the camp, nearly twice as many as in August 1930. The vehicles carried 1723 passengers and 1,871 tons of freight. By many persons, the augmented travel over the Richardson Highway between Valdez and Fairbanks is ascribed to increased passenger fares and treight rates over the Alaska Rail- ||} road, operating between Seward \Fetchikan to the Atlantic Gout herles at Groton, Conn. given by the community to Miss and Fairbanks, The bounty on | Crusader Chief “ PORTUGAL NOW NERVOUS OVER 0CT.
