A CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE BLUE EAGLE SOARS. The Blue Eagle—emblem of National recovery— without fuss and with little adoo over it, is making its appearance in Alaska simultaneously with the remainder of the country. The first business houses of the city to sign the valuntary code issued re- cently by President Roosevelt did it without wait- ing for a meeting to be called and of their own volition. Others have been studying it carefully and the only reason for delay on their part has been doubt as to just what procedure was necessary. That has been the experience all over the coun- try, especially in the smaller communities where industries are small and few in number and trade is mostly confined to comparatively small retail businesses. The will to do is present everywhere. It has been uncertainty as to the way to make the will effective that has kept them back. In thick ranks, employers by the thousands are | falling into line beneath the blue-eagled banner of National recovery. Newspapers from various parts of the country, just received here, tell the same story of unbounded enthusiasm. Everywhere busi- ness and industry are adopting the code. The hearti- ness of its reception is described as surpassing the fervor with which the nation subscribed to the great Liberty Bond issues in the days of armed combat. The Administration was surprised, itself, at the spontaniety of the reception given the President’s appeal. Messages came to the National capital in great bundles from postmasters all over the land, telling the story of willingness to co-operate with Mr. Roosevelt. They told a story of a hurry to sign and return the agreements so that names might quickly be placed on the roll of honor that will go up in postoffices; of lines of business men waiting impatiently in line at postoffices windows to sign; of other employers typewriting the agreements from published texts because the printed copies had not arrived. Juneaw’s merchants and 'industries received the published code last week. Until it arrived, they had only a superficial knowledge of its requirements and what they were expected to do. Already they are joining the mounting thousands who are en- rolling in the great engagement against depression which the American Legion has so fittingly char- acterized as “The Argonne of 1933 VETERAN SCIENTISTS RETIRE. With an aggregate of nine decades of service to their credit, two veteran scientists of the Bureau of Biological Survey, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture—Vernon Bailey and Dr. T. S. Palmer—went on the retired list on July 31, last. Mr. Bailey had spent 46 years in the Government’s service, and Dr. Palmer lacked two years of that tenure. Through Administration after Administra- tion after President Cleveland’s time, these two men have been Government sclentists.. They belong to that group of Federal research men .who, without any of the publicity usually gssociated with import- ant Government posts, do valuable work for the advancement of science and industry. Mr. Bailey, always free of official duties, has for 20 years been recognized as a leader in the con- servation and humane treatment of animals, because of the many types of traps which he has invented to capture the alive and unharmed. Among these are the Biological Survey beaver trap, used in this Territory and widely elsewhere in connection with restocking operations, and the foothold trap now being used to capture a wide variety of mammals and birds. For his inventions he has received prizes awarded by the American Humane Association. Dr. Palmer, M. D. from Georgetown, 1895, like- wise is noted for his work in game conservation, animal reservations and game sanctuaries. He was instrumental in bringing about legislation govern- ing importation of animals and birds. Since 1900 he has signed every bird passport required by these laws. Both men are members and have been officers in many scientific organizations both in the United States and abroad. SOUNDNESS TO THE SUGGESTION. In one of his recent syndicated “pieces in the paper,” Will Rogers, noted humorist of stage, screen and press, made a suggestion about what to do with taxes on alcoholic liquors when their sale for beverage purposes again becomes legal. His plan was to tax them at a high rate, first he said 50 'pa- cent and, later, he made it 100 per cent, and devote the entire proceeds to relief for the unem- ployed and charitable functions of the State. This, he urged, would be the most painless tax imagin- able, being levied on a commodity admittedly a open to debate. The principle is sound. In Sweden, for example, liquor is a State monopoly, and profits are used solely for humanitarian functions of the Government. Regardless of the certain decline of unemployment before legalized liquor becomes a reality, there will remain a need for State revenues for the social services already established or for services needed but not yet created. For those who resent an alliance between the State and the liquor traffic, this disposition of the liquor revenues will go far to dissipate objec- tions.” Many States will find the plan particularly appealing because of the dire straits they find themselves in finance relief work. This new source of revenue will soon become available. If it could be earmarked in advance for a specific |and universally approved object, a substantial part of their continuing fiscal problems would be in a | fair to solution. to way Anyway there are but 16 more occasions left on | which the Dry generals can tell the country: “if ‘w-:«nd-so rejects repeal, we will win.” The Government may not want to go into business but of one thing there can be no doubt— it is getting down to business. The returns certainly show that the country thinks more highly of the Administration’s business code than it does of the moral code shoved down its craw by the Drys for the past 13 years. Advertising Good Products. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) You as a consumer become accustomed to cer- tain brands of food, of shoes, of tooth paste and other necessities. You don't order 28-cents a pound coffee. You order it by brand. Experieice has taught you that you can depend on uniform qual- ity from manufacturers who take enough pride in their products to advertise them by brands or trade names which are not subject to change with every industrial flurry. . Much advertising is without point. It fails to convey any real message. The good name of a good product is the thing to advertise. Customers may but they soon realize their mistake. There have been very few failures on the part of Americaa manufacturers who have produced a first-class product, priced it reasonably and kept its name continuously before consumers through intelligent advertising. The principle trouble with the inexperienced advertiser is his intermittency. He advertises for a short time and, as results become apparent, he calls off his advertising and catches up on orders. After a time, he resumes. And so it goes. Another type of advertiser has a good product, but one that is not nearly as well known as he prefers to believe. His advertising is without immediate re- sults that net him a substantial profit. He quits, and the money he expended in his half-hearted effort is practically wasted. If advertising could accomplish such miracles with unknown com- modities, there would be no need for advertising salesmen. Why shouldn’t a firm manager spend a hundred dollars for an advertisement if he can bank on a hundred dollars’ profit? Such profits have resulted, but intermittent advertising is not the type that builds permanent business. Advertising is an art. It is a business, and many who have spent a generation in that line admit that they still have much to learn. There are a few fundamentals that should be understood by all who advertise—fundamentals that remove advertising from speculation and make it an investment. And probably no one fundamental is more important than that which emphasizes the inefficiency of in- termittent advertising in which no particular thought is conveyed to the reading public. The public is busy, and the advertising message must be truthful, direct and understandable. Such ad- vertising, consistently put before consumers, will bring results. No one with intelligence enough to conduct a business any longer doubts the'value of advertising, but many business men still make the mistake of not making their advertising appropria- tions a permanent investment, instead of intermit- tent expenditures that are unfair to themselves, their product and the publications that carry their advertising. Convince the Public. (New York World-Telegram.) Recognizing that “we have gone through an un- happy period when the Government has attempted to enforce unpopular laws and has thereby built up a resistance by the people to law enforcement agencies,” Attorney General Cummings urges a ‘“new psychology” by which the public will co-operate with the authorities, particularly in fighting racketeers and running down kidnapers. It is tragically true that the same Prohibition that developed bootlegging and rackets likewise weakened public co-operation in attacking such evils. The more reason for speeding repeal and the total end of a law that did the country the in- calculable damage of decreasing its respect for law. But unpopular law is not the only cause of non-co-operation. The Attorney General hits an- other bull's-eye when he points to the building up of a class of criminals, armed not only with dead- ly weapons but with vast amounts of money with which to furnish bail bonds, retain expert legal counsel and to secure helpful contact with corrupt politicians.” There’s the ugly root. That so many millionaire racketeers should have flourished and slipped through pretty much every law but the Federa! income tax law has been the most amazing and sinister feature of this country's racket plague. It points to protection. It points torlax prosecu- tion. It points to political influence. It points to reciprocity relations between politiclans and gang- sters. It points to gross malenforcement of State and local statutes. ¥ When the public is convinced there are to be no more loopholes, protective aids or powerful secret sponsors for racketeers there will be far more of the confident public co-operation for which the Attorney General appeals. Anyhow, now that certainty has become thrice assured, the drys may be spared the task of trying after every repeal election to explain what happened. —(Buffalo Courier-Express.)

LA NEDA Moderato con espre -Echoes Heard B HANDY { A blasted slave-day romance inspired the words of “Darling Nellie Gray,” written Hanby, born July 22, 1933. called the origin of the song. By CARL C. CRANMER RUSHVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 8—Just one hundred years ago—on July 22. 1833—Benjamin Russell Hanby was born near the little district school where he later scribbled on a black- board the words to “Darling Nellie Gray” as a singing exercise for his pupils. And at nearby Fultonham lives Mrs. T. M. Adams, now 90 years old, believed to be the only living pupil who attended that school and learned the words of the song from the poet himself. It is her brother, George E. Kalb, 84-year-old Rushville newspaper man, who tells at first hand how Hanby wrote: “There’s a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore, Where I've whiled many hap- py hours away, A-sitting and a-singing by the little cottage door, Where lived my poor Nellie Gray.” Hanby was the son of a United Brethren minister and spent his boyhood days playing about an old church, which also served as a school, and the adjacent cemetery. One of Hanby's playmates was a bay named Hyde. Slave Grave Inspired Him According to Kalb, it was the grave of a runaway slave in the old churchyard that gave Hanby his inspiration for the song. But it was not until Hanby had moved away with his parents to Circleville, then to Westerville, Ohio, and had returned to Rush- ville to teach school that he wrote the song. He renewed his friendship with Hyde, and the two of them were fond of spending hours in the old churchyard where they had played as boys. A Blasted Romance One grave interested them in particular, and Hyde, who had learned the story, said it was the grave of Joe Selby, a negro slave who had escaped from Kentucky and had died of pnuemonia. Selby, so he had told the little group of sympathetic abolitionists gathered about his death bed, had been in love with a slave girl by the name of Nellie Gray on & neighboring plantation. But her owner had been forced by debt to sell her to a new owner farther south. In desperation he had tried to escape to Canada where he hoped to earn enough to purchase her fredom. Deeply impressed by the story, Hanby went to his room and began jotting it down in the form of a poem. A few days later he wrote it upon the school blackboard and began teaching the words and tune to his pupils. A It was some time later before he revised the song, secured &' copyright and sold it for $25. — - Scientist Says Auto Is a Cause of Crime CHICAGO, Aug. 8—Col Calvin Goddard, head of Northwestern Universitity’s scientific crime de- tection laboratory, believes the pis- tol receives much blame for mod- ern crime for which the motor car should at least share respon= sibility. “It is the rapid means of es- cape afforded by the auto that makes possible much of modern crime,” he says. “A law forbid- ding any person convicled of a crime of violence from riding in any auto, under heavy penalty, would solve the problem over- night.” ————— The ads pring you the informa- tion about quality, style and price.l - in Rushville, The centenary of his birth has re- Ohio, by Benjamin Russell SAHARA HILL HAS FORTRESS ALGIERS, Aug. 8—A fine Ro- man fort has been discovered 40 miles from Tamanraset, in the heart of the Algerian Sahaha, by a French savant, Professor Rey- gasse. It is a vast stone structure on top of a hill, containing eleven chambers, and is in a perfect state of preservation. The building, locally known as the Tomb of Ahalessa, was sup- posed to be a Touareg mausoleum, the grave of a Targuli princess having been found there years ago. 2 A close inspection by Professor Reygasse disproved this. In addi- tion to evidence furnished by the nature of the construction, he discovered relics of Roman origin. English Ousts French In Nazi School Scheme BERLIN, Aug. 8.—English has supplanted French as first foreign 'language in all Prussian grade schools. An order of the nazi minister of education, Bernard Rust, pre- scribes that “more hours must be devoted to teaching English in order to obtain best possible re- sults.” Rust emphasized “English is the j tongue most preferred at pres- ent.” NOTICE After August 10 no telephone | rentals for the month of August | will be accepted at a discount.

BAILEY’S CAFE CONGERT GIVEN, PIONEERS’ HOME Purser Doran Arranges Event—Miss Reep, Al- aska’s Orchestra In It SITKA, Alaska, Aug. 3.—An out- standing event in the lives of| the residents of the Pioneers' Home and one long to be remembered was a concert on Thursday after- noon given by Miss Ellen Reep and the orchestra from the steam- ship Alaska. Seated in the dining room of the Home, the early settlers of the Northland ran the gamut of emo- tion as they listened alternately to Miss Reep's glorious contralto and the playing of the orchestra in lighter vein. Varied Program Miss Reep’'s program of songs was well chosen and varied. To those who had known Norway as their home she sang Kjerulf's “Syanouve's Sang”; to the men who had spent their early years on the plains of the West she sang Guion’s “Home on .the Range”; to a few from south of the Mason-Dixon Line Terry’s “Southern Lullaby”; and to Alas- kans all she sang (Carol Beery Davis' delightful Chilkat canoa love song “Kusehanee.” Early in her series of songs Miss Reep told her audience she had been so impressed and thrill- ed by the beauty of Sitka and the surroundings that sre wished to pay a tribute to Nature. In her rendering of Beethoven's “Die Ehre Gottas aus der Natur” there was an added reverence and warmth of tone that revealed more fully than any other number her emotional and artistic ability. Folk . Songs Miss Reep's program included "Folksong” (Chadwick), ‘‘Last Rose of Summer,” “Die Ehre Gottes aus der Natur” (Beethoven), “Home on the Range (Guion); “The Night Wind” (Farley), “Synnova’s £hng” (Kjerulf), “Southern Lullaby” (Terry), “Kusehanee” (Chilkat Canoe Love Song by Carol Beery Davis, “The Sleigh” (Kountz) “Ashes of Roses” (Woodman). Miss Marie Wood was accom- panist. Miss ‘Wood is pianist in the orchestra from the steamship Alaska. The concert was made possible by the use of a small por- table organ owned by Miss Wood. Orchestra Appreciated Sharing honors with Miss Reep in the concert was the orchestra from the Alaska. The trio was | composed by Miss Vi Ford, violin- ist; Miss Ida Dillon, saxaphone, and Miss Marie Wood at the or- gan. As old familiar tunes were played there was a soft humming all over the room. Heads nodded with the rhythm and feet kept time to the dance numbers. Ap- plause and laughter were plentiful. It was evident the men were hav- ing the time of their lives. More than one voiced the hope that the orchestra will play at the Home and hospital again when the Alaska is in port. Visit Hospital Miss Reep and the orchestra also visited the Pioneers’ Hospital where they sang and played. To David Doran, purser of the Alaska, goes a large share of the credit for the success of the con- cert. ‘Through his courtesy the organ was transported totheHome and all business details attended PR PROFESSIONAL [ | Helene W.
