Fi MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES ARE BOTH SCHEDULE, COOPERATIVE J. N. Carv:_87~Year—Old' Civil War Veteran Is | Principal Speaker In Memorial Day Services begin- ning this morning at 10:30 o'clock on the steps of the Territorial Capitol building, many organiza- tions cooperated to quietly observe the day set aside for the reverence of those who have passed on The Juneau City Band opened the program with a selection, fol- lowed by a short speech of intro- duction by Post Commander Waino Hendrickson of Alford John Brad- ford Post Number 4 of the Ameri- can Legion, who presented the principal speaker of the day, J. N. Carver, Civil War Veteran. Mr. Carver, 87 years of age, was discharged from the Union Army at the close of the Civil War when he was only 21 years old, after having served several years at the battlefront. Text of Speech | It was the text of his short talk that we should do honor and rev- erence not only to those who bore arms, but also to the drummer boys ©f 10 and 12 years who were taken into the thick of the battle with the troops, and to the wives and mothers of Civil War Days, who had a much harder struggle than many now realize, due to isolation, transportation difficulties, and to the fact that so many of the men were under arms, making the bur- den of tilling the soil and provid- ing food fall upon the shoulders of the womenfolk. 3 The American Legion Memorial Service ritual was read by Capl. J. M. Clark, Past Commander of the local post, followed by the, benediction offered by T. B. Setz- er, Post Chaplain. Organizauons rarade !

After marching to the cemetery, the various units of the parade took part in the ceremony of decorat- ing the graves. A prayer was spok- | en by Dean C. E. Rice, and the military portion of the observance consisted of the firing of a salute over the graves by the firing squad, and the sounding of taps by bug- lers. From the cemetery, the line of march went down Willoughby Ave- nue to the Government Dock, wuere the same rites were followed, ex-| cept that flowers were strewn on the water to do reverence to the navy dead, who were buried at sea. The Rev. John A. Glasse offered a prayer. The parade then disbanded. e | | | Herring Planted BARANOF MAKES CHARTER TRIPS Alsska Southern Airways Seaplane Kept in Air Con- stantly Tuesday, Today On the return trip from Sitka and way points, the seaplane Bar- anof, of the Alaska Southern Air- ways, pilot Gene Meyring and Lloyd Jarman, mechanic, arrived here at 4:30 o'clock yesterday aft- ernoon.

FILM COLONY | Japanese “Twin Rate” Half that Of Occident KYOTO, Japan, May 30.—Twins are almost twice as rare among the Japanese as among Occidental races, says Dr. Taku Komai, pro- fessor of ethnology at Kyoto Im- perial university. His investiga- tions led him to this conclusion, and he presented it to a recent gathering of scientists here without attempting an explanation. Twins occur once in about 159 |births in this country, he said, | whereas in Germany, for example, one birth in every 80 produces twins. Another point in which the Jap- anese differ from western races, according to the same authority, is that among the Japanese in two cases out of three twins will be of the same sex. The rule among occidentals, he said, is just the op- posite, that in two cases out of three twins will be of opposite sexes. Well Aged Cigar BELHAVEN, N. C—Twenty-five years ago a friend gave D. W.
