ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. A TIMELY ALLOTMENT. The allotment recently of a sizeable sum of money to the United States Geological Survey by the Public Works Administration, from which Alaska will get $50,000, was most timely for the Territory. The Alaska division of that highly useful and effi-| cient organi‘ation has been hard hit during the| current fiscal year due to a reduction to $30,000 in its regular appropriation. The new Alaska budget‘ contained i1 the Presidential budget shows that| the allowance for the next fiscal year has been| shaved from that figure to $29,150. Obviously, little work can be done in the field with such ai| small sum. Yet the need for more complete geologic mapping of the Territory is greater today than it ever has} been in the past. Men who are searching for| mineral deposits, particularly gold and silver, under the stimulus of today’s augmented prices, demand | reliable information as to the mineralization of | areas heretofore unexplored and in which deposits ‘about one twentieth. |gagging on alphabet soup—of NRA'S, PWA'S and rancid and the bran detracts from the appearance of the product, when the grain is milled these parts are generally removed and used for animal feeds. Often the food constituents lost in this way are the very ones lacking in the diets of those who use large quantities of highly milled grains and prepared cercals. Thinking that these milling byproducts might be profitably used in- human dietaries, specialists of the Bureau of Home Economics recently studied wheat germ, whole wheat, rice polishings, cotton- seed flour, and the residue from fermented rye grains. In a previous study made in South Caro- lina, wheat germ was found to be a palatable food and also to be valuable in preventing pellagra. In the recent study samples of wheat germ, cottonseed flour, and rice polishings were found to be excellent sources of vitamin B. These three substances all contained approximately one half as much of the antineurtic factor as did a composlte( sample of dried yeast, which is very high in this vitamin. As a source of vitamin G these materials dif- fered widely. Wheat germ was the richest of the three substances, containing about one sixth as much vitamin G as did the yeast. Cottonseed flour was found to have about one tenth as much vitamin G as yeast, while rice polishings had only Whole wheat (soft winter) was found to be a relatively poor source of both vitamins B and G. The flour made from the residue from fermented rye grain contained a very small but appreciable amount of vitamin B. ) Critical days are with us again. That is to say that Congress is in session and the Outs are at the old game of cussin’ the Ins once more. Fog in London. (New York World-Telegram.) The London newspapers are holding the stetho- scope on Uncle S8am’s bosom, and the din they say they hear shows the old boy to be trampled by revolution while nailed to a cross of gold and HOLC's. ‘The unfortunate thing is that a great city like London, seat of the British Empire, should be fed upon such misinformation. “Our Own Washington Correspondent,” or his equivalent, reported to the Times of London: “The deep distrust with which the public has been watching the Administration policy dollar de- preciation has now become downright anxiety. Public faith is with Mr. Roosevelt no longer.” And agnln; the Times: “Meanwhile business activity is still declining.” And the London Telegraph: “Important men in Wall Street whom I have consulted by telephone | regard as ominous today's unexpected announcement that Mr. Woodin, the Secretary of the Treasury, is |to take a ‘complete and indefinite’ leave of absence.sent to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania of gold and silver might be expected to be found.|.

This will be sufficient to put several parties of geologists and topographers in the field and keep them there all season. Last season the few individuols who were in the field conducted one-ma estigaiions, carried their own equip- ment and food on their backs because they didn't have enough money to organize properly eqpipped parties. Thanks to the PWA this should not be| the case next Summer. In recently stressing the need for geological investigations in Alaska, the Anchorage Times point- | ed out the contrast between the lack of such work in Alaska and the manner in which British Columbia studies its mineral lands and chances for their profitable development. In this connection, it said: | At one time the Government had no less than 20 Geological Survey parties in the field. Now the appropriations have been cut to the bone and the number of parties sent out annually throughout this vast Territory can almost be counted on the fingers of one hand. ‘With mining giving promise of the great- est expansion of any industry of the Ter- ritory it is tragic that the geological work is curtailed rather than increased. Strange to say, that British Columbia, a region far less in area than Alaska, has more than 50 geological parties at work annually. The results are plainly visible. British Columbia is enjoying such a boom in mining today as she never knew before. Her increase in gold yield alone within the last six months has been 20 per cent, far outstripping any stride that Alaska may boast. British Co- lumbia also has today 19 Government min- ing engineers and a mining bureau, some- thing that is entirely lacking in this Terri- tory. The Canadian Provinces of Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec, with their vast gold yields, many times that of Alaska, also are generously supplied with geologists and Gov- ernment mining engineers and advisers. The Times correctly points out that the Canadian Provinces mentioned maintain their own engineering and geological staffs. ‘The Dominion Government is not concerned in that work. Alaska ought to par- ticipate in mining investigations on a larger scale than has been the case for several years. It does co-operate with the Federal Government to some extent, but it should have its own agency at least on a limited scale. The value of its mining industry is sufficient to justify the necessary expenditures 50 long as they are reasonably proportionate to the other Government expenses. ‘There is ample reason for the Federal Govern- ment to maintain a far larger corps of geologists and engineers here than it has for many years. It owns most of the land and resources in the Territory. Only by aiding in their development can it rid itself of the expense incident to their retention in an undeveloped state. VALUABLE SOURCES OF VITAMINS B AND G. Vitamins B and G are essenital for the growth of the young and the well-being of the adult, and; vitamin B is especially needed by the mother dur- ing pregnancy and lactation. For this reason nutri- tionists of the United States Department of Agri- culture have laid especial emphasis lately on the importance of including these two vitamins in the diet at all times. Although vitamins B and G occur in a wide yariety of foods in relatively small amounts, oply tidings suggest also a definite ear rumble in the correspondents, which they ought to have looked after immediately. The Daily Express sets these to rights, saying: | “Today the dispatch from America tells you that sales production, wages, incomes, employment figures are rising. This néws supports the opinion steadily put forward in this column—and almost alone in the British press—that Roosevelt is putting through his New Deal successfully. Don't take the Wall Street view of it. That is where most newspapers on this side go wrong. They strive honestly to present the situation fairly. But their news too often comes from New York financial quarters, a biased and unreliable source, not more representative of the real United States than the City is of this country.” Uncle Sam’s improving health is not suffering any from the doleful head waggings of the long distance diagnosticians. But the strain of sustained gloom, we fear, is not good for the diagnosticians or their London readers, especially in these days of the fogs. Back-Seat Driving. (Detroit Free Press.) Mere man has said for years, mostly under his breath, that there “oughta be a law” against back- seat driving. Now it comes as a powerful shock to learn that the Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled the other way, and said that passengers in autos “have a duty” to speak their minds. _The decision came out of Mrs. Alice Murphy’s sult for damages as a result of a collision on a dark, stormy night. Mrs. Murphy testified she had been watching the road but had “never uttered a word of protest or warning about the speed or management of the car” her husband was driving. The Court ruled she could not collect damages, and added: “The negligence of a husband while driving his automobile with his wife as a gdest may not be imputable to her, but she may be responsible for the consequences of her own negligence if she fails to warn him of known approaching danger and to protest against his recklessness.” Oh, oh! What a thing for a Court to say! Sawing Wood. (Omaha World-Herald.) The campaign of intimidation is flopping. | The President isn't afraid of Wall Street; ;can‘t bully him. No more is the country afraid of the President and his monetary policy. It is demonstrating once more, in a critical test, its faith and confidence in Roosevelt, and its complete lack of faith in his crities. It stands firm for the New Deal as against the Old Guard. Professor Sprague resigned, shouting angrily that |calamity was impending on account of the gold- purchase policy. The Republican National Commit- tee fulminated and denounced and screamed its warning. Keynoter Senator Fess sobbed, “It looks as if the country is going to hell” Great news- papers in New York and Chicago and Philadelphia sobbed and scolded along with him. The Saturday Evening Post shed its quota of tears, screaming as they fell. Big bankers and big economists and big professors organized hurriedly into a brain trust of their own to tell the world that America was about to collapse into ruins unless Roosevelt could be driven to an immediate right-about-face. And the President paid them no attention. He did not reply or explain or defend. He smiled, anc kept right on sawing wood.
