The Willoughby Avenue Improvement project, on which work has just been started and the cost of which is being defrayed out of NRA public works relief funds, clearly comes within the requirements laid down by Secretary Ickes, Director of the Public Works Administration, on several occasions. It is a needed social improvement, It will be of lasting value to the community in many ways. It will promote economy in the municipal budget by mater- ially lessening annual street maintenance expendi- tures. And most important of all, it has given| immediately employmeént to a substantial number of men who otherwise would be out of employment. There are other projects in this vicinity, and,| of course, in other sections of Alaska, that fall within the same category. The most notable, we believe, is the proposed Gastineau Channel bridge linking Juneau and Douglas. A second is the land- ing field and hangars for seaplanes, and small boall harbor. Both of these have been urged for immediate | approval by the Public Works Administration. There is no question of their merit, none of the Iacti that they, too, would provide employment during| the winter months for a large number of unemployed who must have jobs or be given direct relief in the next few months. NEW YORK'S, GREATEST, PARADE. | New York, accustomed to spectacular demonstra- ‘tions, saw its greatest peace-time spectacle recently when that city staged a NRA parade that had 250,000 persons in the line of march and lasted through 10 hours of steady marching, and 50,000 more got no chance to march because of its size. It was the biggest thing of its kind in New York's history and 2,000,000 cheering spectators lined the streets from 9 a. m. until after midnight to watch the passage of the Blue Eagle and express in their enthusiasm the determination that “we are on our way” out of the depths. Who marched? As Heywood Broun saw them: Needle workers, cigars and cigaretes. All the people who take things into their hands and fashion them. Those who build tow- ers. Those who build railroads. Those who make them run. Swinging down Fifth Ave- nue like water over a dam. Water seeks its own level, and so must those who make the things by which man lives. For the statistically minded, there were 77 di- visions representing practically every profession, class of trade and business from Wall Street brokers to chorus girls, from high business officials to makers of artificial flowers. Two hundred bands, army, navy and civilian music makers matched the tempo of the marchers with the enthusiasm of the onlookers, varying their selec- tions from marching numbers to the old rousing, “Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here” “Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie,” and “Happy Days Are Here Again.” Seventy-three Army, Navy and civilian planes from all flying fields in the metropolitan area flew in formation over the parade without a mishap. Some were equipped with loudspeakers so that cheering NRA slogans were carried from broad- casters in the skies to the crowds below. Two and a quarter million people—the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker—marching and cheering, cheering and marching. There spoke the revived spirit of America! After all, in the people rather than in inanimate things like gold and silver, and corn and potatoes, and wheat and co'ton, is her strength, her power. And they stand today united, arrayed in solid ranks under the Blue Eagle of recovery. That is the greatest accomplishment of Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first six months as President. He has furnished the leadership that has enabled America’s millions to break the shackles of fear and rout despair. And that, as Gen. Hugh S. Johnson said at a NRA dinner in New York that same night, “is the very essence and guts of recovery.” Six short months ago we had, indeed, lost faith in our institutions and belief in ourselves. Under Mr. Roosevelt’s inspired leadership they have been re- stored. And that was the vital element that shone forth from the hearts and in the faces of those| who marched and cheered in New York's greatest | parade. BIRTHSTONES OF ANCIENT ORIGIN. Recent findings of historians lead science to be- lieve the custom of designing birthstones according to the month in which a person was born had its origin 6,000 years ago. Their beginnings are traced Dbeliefs in magic. The story of their origin is traced back to about 4,000 B. C. says an article published in.Field Museum News of Chicago. In that period The custom was adopted later by ancient Hebraws who had been prisoners in Egypt. They made similar breastplates for Aaron, their own high priest. The Hebrew version was composed of 12 large gems, each representing one off the tribes of Israel. “As time went on,” says Field Museum News, “the twelve stones originally associated with the twelve tribes of Israel, became associated with the twelve angels of Paradise; the twelve foundations Heaven; the twelve apostles; and finally the twelve months of the year. From the last developed the birthstone idea.” Wearing of birthstones originated in Poland sometime during the sevententh or eighteenth cen- tury, says the same authority. Dr. Oliver C. Far- rington, curator of geology at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History, lists the birthstones as: January, garnet; February, amethyst; March, blood- stone or aquarmarine; April, diamond; May, emer- ald; June, pearl; July, ruby; August, sardonyx or peridot; September, sapphire; October, opal; Novem- ber, topaz; and December, turquoise. Don't be a hoarder. If there ever was any reason for it here, it doesn't exist any longer. an optimist—and practice what you preach. The sun of prosperity, just dawning, is chasing away the clouds. Today more than ever we must read. Good government is the product of a well informed citizenship, and now more than ever government needs well informed citizens. It may be true that every player in the game of life, at some stage, holds a winning hand. The game is often lost, however, because the hand isn't played. The Prospector. (Anchorage Times.) Alaska’s great need today is prospectors. wi‘:h gold commanding the highest price in history, and stepped up not only in purchasing power but in terms of dollars from $20 an ounce to approxi- mately $30, this Territory has a brighter outlook than at any time since the great invasion by the gold seeking pioneers of a generation ago. There is little need of advertising for investors in known gold properties. They will come when the gold placers or lodes are located and displayed —and are more than eager to buy properties and open large scale operations on propositions of merit. But the country does need more men to get right down to the fundamentals of searching out and locating both placer and lode properties. It is the plain modest man who gets into the hills with pick and shovel who finds mines. Mining engineers and others schooled .in the habits of ore occurances and formations serve their purpose when the time comes, but mineral deposits are found in the remote or lonely spots or wherever they may be by men who go out as a rule with a handful of supplies and persistently search hills and vales. In the early rush days following the Klondike strike there were thousands of men in various portions of Alaska looking for placers and a few casting an eye about for quartz. Now that lode mining has become more attractive in the North- iand,.and Alaska has set up a fine school of mines to assist the prospector in getting an elementary knowledge of minerals, it is the individual who is willing to go out into the hills who is most needed. Young men of this day are not inclined as they were a generation or so back to 80 Ppros- pecting. But many young men would find it greatly _Lo their advantage if they would embark on this inviting vocation. Luck is with the man who moves about—who forsakes the routine and the groove of standardized ways and goes casting about for a new opportunity—who does not wait for his ships tc come in but who goes out and brings them in.

In the 1928 campaign, Ickes was inactive, but he voted for Alfred Py Smith. In the presidential cam- ,C]gus pangn of last year, he was chair- . man of the Western Progressive Clzal’ett“ headquarters and worked actively for the Democratic ticket in the Western States. All of which makes it interest- ing to speculate on the probable Candy Cards for rehabilitation of industry and in its quest for more wealth—especially more virgin gold—has not a more promising field to which to look than right here in Alaska—richly endowed with mineral wealth. It will be very much worth while for the Gov- ernment through all its agents to take some prac- tical and immediate steps to encourage and facilitate exploration of the mineralized zones of this great golden treasure chest called Alaska. While funds are being appropriated Industry under way, no better step pcould bew'.akgeer: than to work out some systematic way of getting prospectors into the hills of Alaska—men equipped and if possible fore-armed with some knowledge of :;mifals and how to tell promising rock when they e 1t The time is ripe for Alaska to make i to open her golden vaults.

They may also be dis- tinguished by their ore samples. When Seattle was discovered by Jim Hill in 1897, it was rebuilt and furnished by Alaska money. At this time it was a sleepy little village, and so slow that when a boat arrived, the steamer cap- tains sent their whistles in by mail a day or so ahead of time so that the citizens would have time to get down to the wharf. Things have changed now. The town is up and coming.

Tt is hinted constantly in Washington that President Roosevelt has plans of his own for the Democratic party. He hopes, it is said, to bring together the liberal elements of both parties by next election time. ¥ His Cabinet appointments and overtures to the Progressives would seem to indicate this. Tckes may figure large in the political picture in 1936. — el The New Arctic Pabst Famous Draught Beer On Tap Meteorological services in Poland are under direction of the Govern- ment Institute of Meteorology and Hydrography at Warsaw. ‘ e ————— Daily Empire Want Ads Pay. i *JIMMY" CARLSON 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire St s 3 SEPTEMBER 26, 1913.

Mrs. George Black, wife of Gov. | Black, of the Yukon Territory passed through Juneau on her way to Dawson from a trip south. The Yukon Council authoriz:d the ex- pendit and iittings for the Governor's Mansion in Dawson and Mrs. Black was commissioned to go out and and make the purchases. The first meeting of the Totem class of the Juneau High School was to take place the next day and thereafter there were to be meetings twice a week. The class was to be really a class in jour- nalism and membership in it did not necessarily mean that one would be on the staff of the pub- lication by the same name.
