HALF LOAF BETTER THAN NONE. On the theory that half a loaf is better than none at all, Alaska will greet the Senate's action in restoring $30,000 to the Interior Department bill for of the United States Geological Survey in This sum is less than 50 per cent. of the amount required for that purpose. For many the sum of $100,000 was appropriated by Con- Last year it was cut to $84500, and this year the Budget figure, which was eliminated with- out warning by the House, was $60,000. The $30,000 will not permit much work to be done. In fact tain its full ff and continue its Washington office activities, very little if any of the money can be | made available for work in Alaska. Director Men- denhall, as witness before the Senate Appropriation: Committee, was in a quandary over the matter and when asked by Senator Smoot if it would be possible for him to get along on $30,000 answered he didn’t know just how it could be done, but added he might keep the project alive by discharging half of the| personnel of the Alaska division.

Delegate Wickersham appeared personally before the Senate Committee to defend the item, seeking its restoration. He presented the matter ably and his assistance was a material factor in the success | of the Director in getting the item partly restored. His facts, and his analysis of them, made a favor- able impression on the Senate, and he found a ready and willing supporter in Senator Kendrick of Wyom- ing who visited here some two years ago and had more than nodding acquaintance with the need for just the sort of work as that which the Geo- logical Survey carries on. HOOVER BOARDS DWINDLE. Where are the Presidential commissions of yester- year? That is, those oft-discussed Hoover boards. Five, only, continue to exist, and at least one of them, the Farm Board, is already a target for Demo- cratic sharpshooters and is expected to join its late, " is not exactly lamented, companions shortly after March 4. One after another the committees, boards | and commissions named by President Hoover have reported on their particular missions and gone out of existence. Today only one out of the 16 bodies created ! by Mr. Hoover without Congressional assent—the Inter-Departmental Mail Contracts Committee—has its name listed in Federal officialdom. All in all, 62 so-called commissions have been appointed during the Hoover stewardship, 24 of them being directly created by the Chief Executive or upon his recom- mendations to Congress. The rcxhainlng 38 were created by Congress itself without specific recom- mendation from the President. After March 4, the Inter-Departmental Mail Con- tracts Committee will fold its tent and there will be left of the entire list of the commissions named FR Helena Rubenstein’s booklets |against Prohibition in its present form. if the bureau undertakes to main- | by Mr. Hoover only the Farm Board, the Federal iPower Commission, the Reconstruction Finance Cor- |poration and the Home Loan Bank Board. The {Farm Board is almost surely doomed. The Recon- |struction Finance Commission and the Home Loan Bank Board were created as temporary organiza- {tions and it is not impossible that the Power Board i will be the only permanent body added to the Gov- ernment structure under the Hoover regime. | The most famous of the Hoover commissions, was the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement, more commonly called the Wick- ersham Commission. Its report, which substantially rejected Prohibition as a national policy, was large- ly dimmed by the summary declaring in favor of the Eighteenth Amendment, despite the fact thall a majority of the 11 members declared individually It is an historic document, but the method of its trans- mission to Congress and the public through the press did much to lessen its influence and tended to create a poular skepticism of the studies by similar boards on other important questions. After that had happened, the term “Hoover Commissions” was more or less a derisive phrase. If Editor Al' Smith has to defend his publica- tion from a lot of libel suits, as is threatened by Senators who objected to an article recently appear- ing in his magazine, maybe he will change his mind about editing being too much fun for him to surrender the job to become a member of the Roose- velt Cabinet. like some people are never content. Here, a few days ago they were complaining loudly that Huey Long was monopolizing the Senate debates. | Now they are wondering if Huey has joined Simmie Fess in the silent corner. | Seems When compared to tasks like balancing the budget, the squaring of the circle fades into nothing- ness. Business Muffs It. (New Orleans Star.) More creative advertising, more constructive mer- chandising, and less price-chiseling to steal business from the other chap on the other side of the street —that is the business leadership the country needs now, in the opinion of W. O'Neill, President of the General Tire and Rubber Company. He says that more than 60,000,000 automobile itix'es will be needed in 1933 to equip cars, that are now dashing hither and yon; but is not at all ‘cer&a‘m that they will be bought, because leadership is lacking. “Millions of people are out of work today be- cause the salesmen of America have fallen down,” he adds, to make the thought more concrete. { It is a sensible analysis. Read the words in the sense in which he uses them, not in their possible 'application to the economic situation in all its fundamentals. We are suffering from a lack of !salesmanship. We are suffering from penny-grab- bing—thinking not of the services we can give but of the money we can get A great many millions of our people are unem- |ployed, and the causes reach right down to the roots |of the economic system, but a great many millions |are employed. If the national income is not the $90,000,000,000 it was in the glory years, it is at least $40,000,000,000, and a great deal of business can ‘be done on $40,000,000,000. ! The country, however, is not using its full pur- chasing power, and the reason is that those who can fill the needs are not using the right methods. It can’'t be anything else. Even in the fat years, our people did not consume as much as they could, as much as they wished; how much greater are {their needs now, after going without for so long? Business, to be worth its salt, must sell new lwants and new ideas. It must do it by proper salesmanship and proper advertising. No other means has yet been discovered.

It eased fle ten- sion a little. % “Oh, yes,” went on Mark. “I gold some sketches last night to a fat woman named Constantia J. acogson. I think you should take this check, Armitage.” “Why?” and there were torn fragments of paper all over the floor. “I tried to do another impres- sion of Miss Raoul before I went to bed,” explained Mark, as Ar- mitage glanced at the litter, “buf I couldn’t. I don’t suppose I could have improved upon the first sketches, though, anyway.” “Good, were they?” Armitage clecared a chair and sat down, “I don't think you showed them to me.” “That was very remiss of me,” d Mark at once. “T'll see that] it doesn’t happen again.” Armitage opened his lips—and closed them. “You are under no obligation] whatever,” he said carefully, “to; appoint me censor of your work.] As to your assumption that T'm buying authority over you by of- fering you a chance to make good —well, it's rather an unfriendly: assumption, isn't it?” i Mark listened to this with ap- parent deep attention. ‘But I thought we agreed when I came that we were not friends” he said. With exasperation, Armitage re- membered it. Mark’s cool, thin voice went on— “Now you are offended because I assume that if it is not liking for me, it is a liking to be the patron. ‘Well, if it's from neith- er of these weaknesses that you invited me here, why is it?” | It was Mark’s faint aura of |enjoyment that betrayed him.

A meeting of the Scotch ladies cf Douglas was held at the home cf Mrs. McHamilton. ——— A number of cases of scarlet fe- ver were reported on Douglas Is- land. Physicians advised people to be careful and use precautions so that the epidemic would not spread. People on both sides of tne chan- } were looking forward to the :nnual Firemen's Ball to be giv-¢ an at the Elks’ Club in Juneau. A special ferry was scheduled to leave Juneau for both Douglas aind Treadwell after the dance. Eighty ounces in sixty hours was ceported to be the result of a Jlean-up at the Newsboy quartz mill in the Fairbanks district. E. C. Briggs of Treadwell was a Juneau visitor. H. J. Raymond was a passenger sound for home on the steamer Jorthwestern. S. A. Hemple, president of the Jaldez Bank and Mercantile Com- any, and Mrs. Hemple were south- seund on the Mariposa. Mr. Hem- e was going on south on bus. ess among which was the pur- hase of a new lighting plant for he company. He said Valdez was eeling the effects of improved onditions in Alaska.

The- trade of Nome with Siber- ‘a during the year past amounted ‘0 $115,000, the same as in 1911, The trade was greater in the years between and the falling off was reported to be due to the efforts bYeing made by Russian traders to derive benefit from the growing importance of the Siberian Coast opposite Nome. ‘The Malony, Hill and Wilhelm property on Seward Street was to have extensive and expensive im- provements made on it.
