ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION i WE STILL ARE “FIRST.” The Ketchikan High School, according to P. F. Ruidl, Superintendent, has an enrol- ment of 157 students and the grade school a registration of 544 students. Both schools ceport new registrations daily, adding to the 701. In Juneau, the high school enrolment is 171 and the grade school 485, making a total of 565. From these totals, (we assume them to be correct), it would follow that Ketchikan has a fair chance of sometime making even Juneau realize we are the First City.—(Ketchikan Chronicle.) We concede that the editorial writer of the Chronicle has his mathematics in good working shape. His additions seem to be all in ord His logic is unassailable. Thus, if Juneau's high school cnrolment is 171 and that of its Ketchikan counter- part only 157, then Juneau merely has the biggest| high school. That's clear. Now if Juneau’s grade school enrolment is 485 and that of Ketchikan 544, it follows that Ketchfkan has the largest grade : school establishment. That's equally clear. But in combining the two school enrolments to prove that Ketchikan is the larger town of the two, it doesnt ceem to have occurred to the Chronicle writer to N et e R ST gecount for the uusual high percentage of high | school to grade school pupils in the local public schools. . . * . The ratio in Ketchikan is about normal. In Juneau the high schgol enrglment is relatively larger than is customary. Of wufl:, denikan's guoellent newspaper may have reason to believe that fewer of its grade school pupils graduate into the high school than is the case here. We hardly think that is correct, however. It cannot be that there is any biological reason, that is, that sometime during the early years of the current generation there was an appallingly low birth rate here. Biology we are sure had nothing to do with it. But there must be some reason for the disparity. And, of course, there is an excellent reason. Juneau has more than one grade school. In fact, it has more than one high school. The parochial school maintained here by the Catholic Church has \ for many years maintained an excellent grade school. To this in the past few years has been added high school work. The current enrolment is between 80 and 100, exact figures not being available. That solves the mystery. Applying the lower of the two figures, 80, to the local public school factor, 656, we have a minimum result of 736 as com- pared to Ketchikan's 701. In reality the local total school enrolment is nearer 800 than 700. Last week the public school enrolment was 700. The parochial total added to it would give Juneau very close to 800. The relative school s o . AU IS population of Juneau and Ketchikan probably is indicative of the ratio of the total population of the two cities. Juneau still retains the lead that was shown officially by the last decennial census. So while Ketchikan is geo- graphically the First City, and as a fisheries center ranks as first, Juneau continues to be the First City in size. TWIN STARS ABUNDANT. Recent astronomical studies reveal that about one out of every four stars visible in the heavens are double stars. Only a few years ago astronomers believed the number was about one in 18. Now after five years of scanning, the Royal Astronomical Society of London announces that 2350 new double stars have been found in southern skies. The new discoveries have been made at the Lamont-Hussey Observatory of the University of Michigan at Bloemfontein, South Africa. The new “twins” all have been found by Dr. R. A. Rossiter, astronomer in charge. Double stars interest astron- omers for several reasons. The rapidly increasing number being located makes it seem likely that the sun, with life-bearing planet attendants, is the exception among the star population. The double star, it is generally believed, was once one mass which broke in two. The double stars are almost identical in size and brightness. Usually they are far enough apart to b be recognized by the space between them when b viewed by a telescope. Those close together may x be “seen” only by the telescope, which analyzes their joint light and shows overlapping. When one of the “twins” is completely shielded from view, its presence is determined by the gravitational pull shown in the spectrum bands of light from its bright companion. COOPERATION SHOULD BE STRESSED. Wwith the nation-wide Blue Eagle drive well under way, some of the highpowered advertising experts are critical of the publicity department of | Holdouts common sense and our feeling of responsibility for the other fellow and what is a mere cheap play o the emotions. Cooperation, as Gen. Johnson has declared on many occasions, should be the keyword. That is the idea that NRA publicity should be persuaded geoned into line. rather than blud- North Dakotans are elated over the fact that they will have legal three point two beer on October 22. If they expect to get a kick out of that, however, they are due for a deep disappoint- ment. The natural food of the mosquito is said to be sap. Now we know why it is some people are more susceptible than othe: First thing one knows after we Democrats have finished saving the country, the Republicans are going to try to insist on taking it back again. Maine Went. (Boston News Bureau.) As the Union is going, so went Maine. A con- version after 80 years could hardly be more con- vincing or representative. Perhaps the most interesting and significant change of mood in Maine came in the vote of the small and scattered places, which made it manifest that they were aligned in opinion with the urban centers on repeal, feeling just as did the rest of the country about needed burial of the “experiment.” So far there has been none of the once-expected “dry” citadels. That fact that the polling in Maine was made somewhat complex and cumbersome by the effects of legal ruling and the injection of other issues makes the net result all the more striking. Next will come along inevitably the question as to feeling the same in State as in National terms. Any such discrepancy would be both anomalous and ludicrous. Deleting from one constitution may well lead to deleting from the other, even though die-hards plan still to oppose it. The process of waiting till the thirty-sixth ex- pression of local sentiment is had seems also out- moded to the impatient, almost rivaling the electoral college, though perhaps it should be a solemn and deliberate matter to alter the central fundamental law. Our political system does not in these as in other things reflect at all speedily or flexibly the wide swings of popular sentiment and will. Possibly this lagging delay—with seven more re- cruits apparently yet to come after yesterday's three polls—may have its own real value. It may mean an. approach to non-enforcement meanwhile and a diversion of revenue where it should not go; but also it may give the opportunity to recast local statutory framework to provide for the new regime. For the challenge nears surely if slowly for the proper handling of the new situation. This Gain Is Sure. (Magazine of Wall Street.) The inspiring NRA effort to rout the forces of economic despair may not meet with all success, but it has already achieved profound lasting social benefits. Child labor is forever abolished and the unspeakable sweatshop has been wiped out. In the long run these two benefits alone will justify the National Industrial Recovery act and administra- tion, even if it turns out that it is impossible for the nation to recover prosperity by artificial methods. Nor are they purely social benefits, so far as such benefits can be separated from economic advance. Not only have we eliminated the national disgrace of the sacrifice of children to profits and done away with the degrading sweatshop, with its slow torture of women workers. We have taken the depressing competition of juvenile labor and sweated adult out of the labor market. Theréby we have taken a great step toward a balance of consumption and production. Millions of children and women working for less than the barest living wage are not an asset of prosperity; rather the contrary. Normal individual profits mount into national profits, but the indi- vidual profits wrung from the oppression of em- ployees constitute a general loss. What the sweating employer makes, the public loses. A sixty-nine-cent shirt may mean a dollar in additional taxes for the public relief of the starved worker. What the ghoulish “sweater” makes, the public pays. A sweatshop or child labor industry is an economic liability of the national whole. It may make profits and dividends for its proprietors, but it filches them frem the public. Lindbergh as Nordic. (New York Times.) The headlines say that Colonel Lindbergh has been visiting the land of his forebears, which is Sweden. Of course, the relationship is really much closer than “forebears” makes it sound. The Colonel's own father was born on Swedish soil. And then it occurs that Sweden is a scant hundred miles across the Baltic from where multitudes now chant the Hitler nonsense-and-poison formula of racial outcasts and racial war. Who in thinking of Colonel Lindbergh thinks of him as Aryan or Nordic or blond or of the Siegfried blood or anything similarly predestined and similarly unauthentic? Who thinks of his courage and his skill and his good fortune as the proprietary qualities of any particular racial strain? We take them for granted as representative in a heightened degree of what freedom and opportunity have to offer to humanity. Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Wiley Post, Hawks, Doo- little, so many different origins, so many different temperaments, testifying against the vicious doctrine which would tie up achievement with racial pre- destination. As we understand it, when we get repeal, there will be less talk about percentages, and then therell be more kick in the beer and less about it.—(Boston Herald.) The school bells are ringing and, besides think- |ing of NRA and RFC and FDR, we've got to give a little attention to the AB! Chicago Tribune.) New York minister says the racketeer has been with us since the first century. And our methods of dealing with him are about that old, too.— (Macon Telegraph.) A group of stalwart bartenders appeared in line in an NRA parade in the West. “We drew our part” would be the slogan in this case.—(Detroit News.)

All the contracts were adjusted to a new and fair rate card. “From that time to this” he once said, “there hasn't been one broken rate; not even one slightly cracked.” The Plain Dealer jumped into fights for public improvement. Bak-' er campaigned for a group plan; of public buildings, the plan from which Cleveland’s mall has grown.
