BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. The allotment of funds by the Office of Indian Affal to put to work, beginning April 1, 150 Alaska Indians under the Emergency Conservation Work is timely, indeed. Employment of rritory through use of funds pro- ess to meet the unemployment emer- n slow to come, in fact, a great deal than was justified by conditions that It has seemed that not in every instance have those in charge of the funds, the Alaska Division of the Indian Service, been fully appreciative of the basic reasons for the allotments of Public Works funds made to them. And until now there never has been any allotment made from the CCC, or as it is known in the Territory, ECW, funds by the Office of Indian Affairs, although was given it for the entire country system vided by Coner gency has b slower vailed among them. a large sum a year Due ago. to that fact, there has been some privation among local Indians that could have been averted had even a small amount of money been diverted to the Alaska Division of the Service. It is gratify- ing that action has been taken, even though it is 50 tardy. There should be no delay in_organizing ECW crews from the Indian population, and they should be put to work as soon after April 1, as is possibic - FIRE PROTECTION COVERS 55 PER CENT FOREST LAND. Approximately ,000,000 acres of State private forest or' potential forest /lapds were rer ported by the States as being under some form of organized protection from fire last year, according to the United States Forest Service. The acreage protected is 55 per cent of the total forest area classed as needing protection. Thirty-eight States cooperated with the Federal Government in fire protection under the Clarke- McNary Act during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1933. A total of $3,141,445 State and private funds were spent in cooperative forest-fire protection in the fiscal year. The total area of protected State and private land reported as burned over by forest fires in the calendar year 1932 was 2904350 acres (of which 498,970 acres are classed as not having a productive value), as against 5854270 acres in 1931. Of un- protected forest lands 38,410,000 acres were burned over in 1932 as against 45,200,000 acres in 1931. Within protected units the 2,405,380 acres classed as productive forest land which were reported as burned over constitute 1.1 per cent of the forest area protected. It is significant that 93 per cent of the State and private land burned over was outside of protected units, the Forest Service state: The number of fires reported for protected unif State and private landd for the calendar year 1932 was 55,575, as against 56443 in 1931. and RECOGNITION FOR REV. HUBBARD. The decisicn of the National Geographic Society to “cooperate” with Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, widely known as the “Glacier Priest,” for his explorations in Alaska is a timely and well-deserved recognition of his worthwhile achievements during the past several years. Fdther Hubbard, as he is known by most Alaskans, has added greatly to the knowledge of some of Alaska’s remote spots. His daring exploits in scaling voleanic heights, interestingly described in his writings and on the lecture platform have thrilled many thousands. But he did not confine himself to the adventurous side of exploration. The scientific studies he has made of volcanoes, of glaciers, and of all of the country in which he has traveled have a real and lasting value. That this is recognized by leaders in the world of science could not be more convincingly demon- strated than by the National Geographic Society’s annocuncement it is cooperating with him in his| work during the approaching season. That organiza- tion does not lightly lend its name or its assistance | to casual travelers. Many seek it, but only a few| are so honored. It is gratifying to Father Hubbard’s| many friends that he has been so signally recognized. pre- | |tallest of the stories about him pletely electrical,” the apparent surplis would turn into a serious shortage. If one mentally multiplies his average monthly | I electric bill by 30 in computing the cost of operat- | |ing such a home the figure will run beyond reason. | Actually the rate, because of the great quantity | |used, would be much less than the usual one. The | engineers estimate the total cost a month would be $45. This includes lighting, refrigeration, air con- | ditioning in the summer, cooking and scores of | new appliances not yet on the market that accom- ish an amount of work equivalent to 864 servants The estimated cost of $12,000 for the eight-room | house and all equipment is based on costs when the appliances are produced on a fagtory scale. Just | |at present the new washing machine in the laundry, | jun experimental model, cost $8,000 alone. | This house was built just backward from the | customary procedure.

To be sure, there are some {in the Congress and elsewhere who still prefer to |center wncir attention on the methods chosen by the | Administration to dramatize the issue. These charge |the President with every sin, incjuding murder, for | his decision to have the army fly air mails Such criticism is not only in bad taste, but it is |inaccurate. Granting that the hasty cancellation of |the contracts and enlistment of army fliers for the {job constituted a blunder at the White House, it }ummr and impertinent to question the motives |of the Chief Executive in seeking to correct an avil condition. Attention could much better be fixed on the work of the Houst Post Office Committee, which is draft- ing a bill to restore commercial air mail under con- |ditions fair to all concerned. At is now reads, this measure will provide air-mail service more cheaply |to the public, with smaller loss to the Government, |and with art opportunity to all air lines to bid in (open competition for the contracts. This is the important side of the air-mail controve: not the endless bickering of politically minded men. It is inconceivable that a full readjustment of |the air-mail situation could have been made with- lout injury to some innocent parties. When an elab- lorate system has been built up on the basis of (questionable contracts there is no means of undoing all that has been done, of going back to the time |when those contracts were made. Only by drastic |action could the Government clear the way for a thorough revision of air-mail arrangements. It is | probably true that a less spectacular reconsideration of the contracts would have served as well. But the cagriage of, the air mails is restored to private {1ins “inder stricf1y * competitive conditions and at |reasonable rates, the major objective will have been |achieved. | The C. C. C. and More Forests. (New York Herald Tribune.) It is encouraging to read that the lumber in- dustries, acting under a clause in the lumber code, have got together with Federal and State foresters land agreed upon a forestry program which appears to be farsighted and constructive. Apart from the technical aspects of forest management and State |supervision the plan is interesting because it offers an opportunity for the further utilization of the C. C. C. service. This organization, composed of |youngsters most of whem have never before had a |steady job, has been one of the most successful of the relief measures of the New Deal. With few exceptions, the organization has transformed dis- gruntled and demoralized young men into self- ;respecling workers. It has taken them on in poor ihealth and undernouished and turned them into |strong, healthy youngsters. It has taught them the |discipline of work and the companionship of camp life. To the credit of directors and camp members |alike it must be recorded that no drastic coercive measures were necessary. The boys saw that the game was worth playing, so they conformed. If, as now seems possible, the C. C. C. camps are indefinitely prolonged as part of a new relief plan there will be much for the young men to do in connection with the new forestry program. One of the handicaps of both national and State forestry bureaus has been their lack of men to carry out |necessary work of clearing and replanting. Hence |the C. C. C. has been a boon to those forests where |they have been stationed. The mere acquisition of |extra forests is of little avail unless they can be protected and developed. Hero of Myth and Legend. (New York World-Telegram.) Maybe the great popularity of baseball was created, as often has been asserted, by the bright young men of the press box who dress up the games in such rhetorical purple as would equally befit a war or a coronation. Maybe so, but the sports writers, even at that, had gorgeous and inspiring material in the person of John McGraw. He was a Paul Bunyan of baseball, Legend and anecdote were his by inalienable fitness. The were true, even if not all were factual. Stories of his pugnacity, his aggressiveness, his loud voice and nimble brain all are far more pertinent than the record of his amazing success It is timely because he has had to finane his own| expeditions in the past, earning by his lectures and| writings the funds required to defray the costs| which have not been inconsiderable. With this help, | he should be able to take the field better equipped than ever and do even finer work than has been possible heretofore. THE HOME OF TOMORROW. | The home of tomorrow opened in Mansfield, | Ohio, recently by the Westinghouse Company, may | provide the answer to the problem of using the vast supply of electricity which will be developed in the Government’s hydro-electric projects. Completely operated by electricity, except for an| oil burner for heat, the experimental home of the electrical engineers uses thirty times as much power as the average home of today. There, engineers, is the outlet for what may at present seem a surpius in power. If all homes were com- ¥ & say the| They say John McGraw was the man who made New York a baseball town. He did more than that, for in the far reaches of the Middle West and the Deep South and on the Pacific Coast, where lads never saw a big league game, still they read every line about McGraw and emulated his gestures. He was the man who first made baseball a great dramatic spectacle. Tragic disappointment shadowed his latter days, but that is the epic pattern. John McGraw was one of the heroes, of mighty stature.
