ASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | ALASKAAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. REDINGTON WAS ABLE ADMINISTRATOR. In the transfer (at his own request) of Paul G. Redington from his post as Chief of the United| States Biological Survey to the Forest Service there is cause for regret. He is an able administrator, a keen student of wild life conditions, a warm and | devoted advocate of conservation of all forms of wild life and ever ready to defend his convncnonsf on that subject. He was not a fanatic and amid the | fierce controveries that frequently raged about | policies of the Biological Survey he kept his poise and dig: even when unjustly assailed. He never lost sight of the main objective, to protect and foster wild lile to the end that it might be pre-| served for the benefit of this and future genera-| tions. Mr. Redington was a warm friend of Alaska. He| spent many months here familiarizing himself with | conditions. He believed Alaskans were entitled to| utilize the wild life resources of their own land in as large measure as was compatible with the per- petuation of the several species. He sincerely tried w; incorporate that belief into the regulations govern- ing the taking of both game and fur-bearing| animals. He was not in accord with the misguided | fanatics who have sought to tie up vast areas of Alaska in reserves for game sanctuaries. It was not that he was opposed to sanctutaries where they might | be necessary to prevent extinction of wild life, but| he knew personally that the demands for sanctuaries | in Alaska were unjustified, and that no such drastic action was necessary. Tp him in no small degreo‘ is due the credit for 'deféating many of these proposals. We are sorry that he felt it wise to transfer to| the Forest Service, in which he spent many years before going to the Biological Survey. Probably the! field in the former is larger and he will be able| to render even more valuable services to the country there than in the wild life conservation work. His going, however, is a loss to Alaska, in particular, and to the nation generally. May his successor, whoever he be, be as broad-minded, as interested in the work, and as able as he has shown himself to be. NO NEED OF BEING THE LAMB. Mr. Ford condemns Congress for passing the big Navy bill. He would have the United States disarm itself as a protest against war. Munitions makers, he charges, are wholly responsible for wars and he asserts naively if “we could get rid of approximately 100 men responsible for wars in the world the people would enjoy peace.” How to rid the world of the iniquitous hundred, whom he has not named, was not suggested by him. Possibly he would leave that to Congress. If it were done, there is no reason to believe that another group would not immediately take its place and the job would all have to be done over again. The United States has tried to encourage dis- armament by disarming itself. It has reduced its army and permitted its navy to sink far below treaty strength. While it was doing this the other great powers were steadily arming. They press for sironger armaments and refuse to set down around the council tables and agree on a common plan for disarming. In the face of these circumstances, this country would be foolish to continue its policy of the past few years. To do so would merely invite disaster and in the end it would be like a lamb in a den of hungry wolves—rich food to be divided among the ravenous. As an industrialist Mr. Ford takes highest rank. As a statesman he is something else altogether different as witness his famous “Peace Ship” ex- pedition to get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas. And he confessed he was not a student of historr which he considered mostly bunk. SHOWING DUE CONSIDERATION. In summing up the general conference on NRA code revision which was featured by an appeal from President Roosevelt for a 10 per cent reduction in hours of labor and a 10 per cent increase in rates of pay, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson made it clear that the Administration has no idea of forcing that proposi- tion through universally. Although pointedly de- claring that there are some industries that can and ought to adopt the President's suggestion, he frankly acknowledged there are others that cannot either reduce hours or raise wages. For that reason no general rule is contemplated. Instead a resilent rule wil be sought. The code revision conference accomplished much good. It brought into the open many sincere criti- cisms, many of which were just, and made it possible for corrcctive measures to be taken. It gave the code authorities a broader view of their great task, familiaried them with problems common to most of them. Most of all, however, it has served to strengthen the conviction that NRA in some form is here for a long time to come, probably permanently. The code authorities compose the governing bodies |as a democratic monarch who believed that |proof ever is needed that chivalry did not end at b3 the of American industry. They are not Government controlled, but the Government is represented in their deliberations and acts as adviser. Gen. John- son and his aides have made it very plain that their greatest- hope is that this system of self- government by industry shall be a success. The endeavoring to bring this about, acts as a| tion and as an umpire between capital and labor. Huey Long is wearing out as a paragraph. —(Toledo Blade.) He's getting pretty threadbare as a Senator, too. A Maine is reported to have eyes that magnify 100 times. That boy will come in mighty handy when it comes to counting the Republican the next election . ) man votes at The'King of the Belgians. (New York Sun.) Only the body of Albert died in the fall from the mountain. The memory of what he was and did, the example he gave of honor and fortitude, remain for the ages. Indeed, it would almost seem as if the tragedy at Namur were timed by destiny to remind a warlike Europe of the bitter drama that opened on King Albert and his people twenty years ago. Let angry rulers turn their faces to Brussels and the bier of a man far greater than themselves. It is impossible to view the career of the King of the Belgians without a feeling of admiration for each of its many sides. As a youth training himself for a throne to which Fate was leading him; as a seeker, like Peter the Great, of the truth about the world and its work; as a humanitarian righting the injustice permitted by Leopold II in the Congo; “the good of subjects is the end of kings”; as a states-, man reconciling the political and religious differences of his people; as a soldier to whom no march was too long or position too desperate—where have men seen more perfection in royal mind or bearing? If Lapanto, the story of Albert will give it in full. King Albert might have failed to resist the Ger- man invasion of August, 1914, and offered reasons | that would have satisfied the world. It was not a war of Belgium's making. Belgium's army was small, its forts pregnable, its resistance to the | Germans impossible to maintain. Yet these were not questions in the mind of King Albert. The neu- | trality of which Germany was a guarantor had | been violated. A democracy rose to halt the invader 1 so that the nations which had not broken their words might have a few more days, or hours, to prepare for battle. Honor was superior to self-, preservation. Belgium paid, and bitterly, for its courage. Albert’s last earthly view may have been ! field where the defenders of Namur vainly fought the legions of von Emmich, “As long as he lived,” said Motley of Wi]liamj the Silent, “he was the guiding star of a brave nation, and when he died the little children cried | in the streets.” So we may say of Albert, but this present grief knows no boundaries of State. Wherever courage and honesty are revered, wherever men pay homage to patriotic devotion, there is sadness today. It is profound here in a city which hailed fhis | steadfast King and his ethereal Queen when the | great war was over and saw in the flesh not only | the first European King to visit these shores but also the embodiment of all the virtues for which monarchs might pray. What Makes a Good Dog? (New York Herald Tribune.) If superhuman creatures, having complete power over man, were to breed us for show purposes, they might decide to develop certain “points” quite dif- ferent from those which we ourselves have always | admired, some judges ruling for extravagant ears and noses, committees insisting upon parsimony or slynes as “intelligent” traits—that is, traits useful to | masters. They might, in brief, do to us some of the things man has done to dogs in breeding them for show points rather than for qualities of heart and brain, or even for healthy bodies. No scientific | attempt ever has been made to raise genuinely | intelligent dogs, or “noble” or physically perfect | dogs. Show points are far from being in accord with physical perfection, although the attending public may not always be aware of this. In an endeavor to find out why nobody has seriously tried to breed dogs for intelligence, “The Countryman,” an Oxfordshire quarterly, has been questioning specialists on animal behavior, asking them: “May not our dog- breeding principles, judged entirely from the dog’s point of view, be a bit low down?” The first response to the query, from D=z, F. Frazer Darlington, of Edinburgh, agrees that it is “more than a bit,” and cites instances of.man's canine creation which resemble the plots of recent horror “movies.” Many of the show points of cer- tain breeds he declares indefensible, inflicting mal- formations and even diseased conditions without gaining any useful quality. That famous mascot, “the bulldog, once a fine breed, presents the classical example of hereditary achondroplasia.” Man fancies hyperthyroidism in many toy dogs, while terriers are becoming “pitiably microcephalic.” All this is scarcely aiding the genus to develop the best in it. Rather, it is a somewhat gruesome human mis- direction of evolution. Many persons object even to mild eugenic efforts on behalf of men, although these would aim at standards of beauty, health and intelligence regarded as desirable by the subjects themselves. If they were to be tinkered with according to the caprices of an utterly distinct family of beings, their objec- tions would justly increase. Sensational fiction forces one to imagine, with shudders, what might happen. Those seeking positions in the Pennsylvania liquor stores must have a knowledge of algebra.

She saw an exyression of stupid| dismay in the face of the rifieman His gun-barrel dropped. She shrank against the cage in time te avold the falfing figure of the little hearer who had stopped the bullet. She saw brown arms ing to reach the flopping limp 8 that vas the body of the para- ed high-priest. To steady herself she put up tue hand that held the knife. It came in contact with the *hongs tying the | ¢ gate. “A sudden desperaté| thouglit swept her mind. At uny cogt the area of the great square must be cleared for the landing of the plane! Her knife slashed at the thongs, the keen steel sliced through the leather as through grease. She was aware of snarling jaws, of yellow eyes wild with hate and frenzy. The gate slammed back upon her. Tawny black-spotted budies soared | above as she stumbled down the| steps. . She heard a deep-voiced scream The multitude knew the cats were loose! She was_sobbing. Scarcely con scious now\ she tugged at the limp body of Langton, hoping to drag him to the cage that ncw offered protection from the jaguars only from within. The figures were run ning everywhere. Suddenly the mo tors ceased their roaringgShe heard | vicious, staccato bursts, like short | volleys from grouped rifies. T[HERE was a crescendo of shout | ing—scattered rifle fire, then | more bursts from the machine gun. . Strong arms gripped her about the waist; she struggled futilely twisting away to reach the knife she had dropped to assist her com panion. But with the arms came a voice, a voice that drew the strength trom her and left her sobbing weak 1y. “Janice . . . dearest. ... Frank. Dear—" The arms lifted her to her feet She buried her face in the stained and ragged shirt. Long, blissful eons later, ii seemed, she withdrew She smiled uncertainly and blinked away her tears. “Frank . .. dear. Look to Billy.| He was hurt—" | “I'm all right,” came Langton's| voice at their feet—weak but un- It's 1 doubtedly Langton’s. “I ... I was Just resting.” “You dam’ clown,” muttered Frank, a curious softness in his voice. “You're as bad as Greene. .. Here he is now.” Mr. Horatio Greene, press-agent extraordinary, was approaching with his ambling gait. He carried a monstrous pistol in one hand— monstrous in relation to the size of the little warrior—and over the oth er a gold, turquoise studded collar. “Got it off one of the leopards,” he explained. “Jaguars, Greene, not leopards,” smiled Grahame. “Jaguars or leopards they won't need these any more.” He lifted the collar. “It's the one souvenir I'm going to take home from: this—" Suddenly he broke off His eyes from his face. He moistened his lips and gently expelled his breath. Frank put his arm about Janice's waist and firmly drew her against him. *“Don’t look, dear. It ... it isn’t—" “Whew!"” exclaimed Greene, draw- ing his forearm across his forehead. “Did you see what they did to the high-priest—" Suddenly catching Frank’s eye, he hesitated. He mumtbled: “Those ieopards—jaguars, I mean —wouldn’t make loving house pets. ru I'll just take the collar, thank you. Come along folks, Spin's wav- ing to us from the ship. You, Lang- ton—I guess you're Langton—can you make it? | dozing. | ite occupation: talking. “Fine. I'll give you a hand. We've gone to a lot of trouble about you, and we can't low CoOwn How. You're probably the best copy of tha lot of us, and woen Horatio Greene says you're good copy. ..."” TIIE slanting rays of the afternnon sun flashed through the open ports. Despite the altitude it was warm within the plane once they had lifted above the zone of rain clouds. The cabin echoed with the drone of the motors and lurched in the bumpy air. Langton was In the master:pilot's seat, delighted as a child with an old, familiar toy. Spin Winslow loafed next to him, behind the dual controls, wning between spells of hiree young men squatted in the rear of the cabin muttering a strange jargon. One woré an over- cap with a tarnished insignia, The cap looked somewhat moth- eaten. They seemed very, very absorbed with the antics of two small red cubes with white dots on the sides. Juan was with them, and Greene was nearby indulging in his favor- In a pair of seats halfway between the crap shooters and the pilots were Janice ard Frank. They did very little else than to look at each other, smiling occasionally. “... then, when Spin got our mes- sage—" Greene apparently did not think it worthwhile 10 address any. one fn particular—"he picked up three young hoodlums he knew, ar- ranged for this bus, got a machine gun, swallowed his lousy disposi tion—a record of some kind, a veri table Ripley, in tact—and in three hops, total elapsea time less than twenty-four hours, landed on the beach back there on the coast. We met him there. We took off just before dawn. Not seeing Janice and Billy at the valley, we kept on to the city of the pyramtd. We ar- rived just in time. We couldn't land until Janice let the leopards, 1 mean tigers, loose. .. . She did a good job there...so we—" Spin Winslow, strolling back, asked in a loud voice it Greene had ever heard the story of the half- smoked stump of the Corona-Corona perfect cigar and the waa of chew ing tobacco that were floating side | by side down the Mississippt. “No,” replied Greene “What's that got to do—" The three young men at the crap game looked up grinning. “Well,” answered Spin gravely, “the wad of chewing tobacco asked the perfecto, ‘How far are we from New Orleans?" The perfecto replied, with an expression of distaste on its « » um, gold band, ‘Listen, punk: I'm too hundred miles from New C!’Qlfls- ;- Where do you get that westuff!’ ank chuckled at the discom- fited look onm Greene's face. The crap game continued. Finally Ja- nice leaned toward Frank. “You won't. .. you won't go away again, ever?” she whispered. “*%The burnt ehild fears—" he be gam. but the tenderness in his eyes belied the implication of his word. Janice wrinkled her nose. “You can take it,” she quofed colloquial- ly. “It was those darn dishes.” “Dishes?” “You mentioned our doing the dishes,” she stated firmly. “I hate ‘em.” “Not even if 1 help?” “Well,” she replied consideringly “Probably there's some dishwash ing that has compensation.” She testily widened; slowly the color drained}fooked up at him winningly. Her voice was honey-sweet with propi tiation. “But if we do camp out from time to time in one of your jungles, we'll have Juan along, won't we?” Her eyes coaxed. “And,” she concluded brightly, “he can help too.” Frank laughed and nodded. Greene, sotto voce to Winslow. said, “And that means, Spin, that the big palooka and Juan will wash and wipe the dishes between them.” The little man sighed. “And that means that when we get back to Hollywood tomorrow | hunt me an- other job.” “Another job?" queried Spin skep- tically. “Why don’t you go to work for a change, you bum!” (Copyright, 1934, by Herbert ansom) THE END LUMBE Juneau Lumber Mills, Inc.
