KA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION HAPPINESS FROM SKILLED HANDS. Henry Ford in a recent magazine article advises “to teach children to use their hands as well a their heads and thus equip them for useful, happy lives.” From many points of view this is practical advice that parents will be interested in, and can by encouraging their children to develop manual skill contribute to their future economic security and to their happiness as well. Manual skill in the arts of home-making is obviously beneficial to girls who will be future home-makers, likewise manual skill in all branches of mechanics is obviously good for boys. But learn- ing to skillfully use hands has much greater poten- tialities than the mere performing of tasks. | It results in creating and having a great con- | tinued source of happiness and pleasure throughout ! a lifetime. ’ Along with many other practical people Mr. Ford realizes this when he says: “We put a lot of stress on happiness. Pleastre is a big thing in life . . . the finest pleasures are those we discover and develop ourselves. I would feel our schools (Mr. Ford refers to his own schools where 2,000 children are learning to earn a living by doing) were failures if we turned out boys and girls who would have to buy all their recreations. The world is full of agreeable experiences for those who have been taught to perceive them.” Ability to play a musical instrument reasonably well, can be a constant source of expression, recrea- tion and satisfaction throughout the span of life to the person who acquires the skill in childhood, and at times may furnish economic help. Like satisfaction ana possible profit comes from Repaying the Government. (New York Times.) One of the more encouraging signs of the times is the consistency with which loans made to private business by the Government during the worst phase of the depression are being paid. The agency through iwhich such funds are coming back into Federal hands is the RFC. It reported last week that banks, other credit agencies and railroads had borrowed from it a total of $3,187,000,000 during the whole period from the date of its establishment under the Hoover Administration to the end of September, 1934. Of this amount $1,899,000,000, or practically 60 per cent, has already been repaid—though such loans might have been extended for five years. There can {be no doubt of the significance of this performance. It plainly reflects improvement in the financial situation, with less demand for Federal aid and |greatly increased ability on the part of private bor- rowers to square their obligations to the Govern- "ment. The showing made is particularly encouraging in the case of banks, which have constituted by far the largest single class of borrowers. The Chairman of the RFC reported recently that more than 10,000 loans had been made to more than 5500 banks in all sections of the country. They amounted to the very large sum of $1,126,000,000, but of this fully 75 per cent has been repaid. An excellent show- ing has also been made by building and loan asso- ciations, insurance companies and land banks, all of which have repaid the greater part of their obligations. The intermediate credit banks have squared entirely a comparhtively small debt of $9,250,000. A year ago the RFC was one of the largest spending agencies in Washnigton. During the new fiscal year which began on July 1 it has switched from the debit to the credit side of the ledger, with a favorable balance of $141,000,000, representing the excess of repayments over all new loans and invest- ments. Gold from the Sea. (New York Times.) That there is gold in the sea chemists have known these many years. According to the Smith- sonian Institution’s Physical Tables, there is enough to yield $24,000 at present prices to each of the two billion people on earth. More than one attempt has been made to garner this wealth. The cost of reducing a mere speck of gold from thousands of tons of sea water is too great. Yet earlier in the year Thomas Midgley, Jr., held out the prospect of ultimate success. Now comes Willard H. Dow, Presi- | dent of a company which successfully extracts brom- ine from sea water, with the announcement that from twelve tons of ocean a mere speck of gold has been reduced at a cost which is about ten times the market price. Discouraging as this may seem, it is nevertheless, a good start. Consider the immense and costly apparatus re- quired to achieve even this insignificant result and then turn to the life of the sea. There is more ——— 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire Pt it o ) OCTOBER 19, 1914 The battle on the eastern front continued south of Warsaw. The Allied forces were lengthen- ing their line in the West toward the seaboard, establishing close con- nections with the British navy, An announcement from the French war office was made to the effect that it was feared that the war would drag out for some time. Dr. Dawes of Wrangell was vis- | iting Pr. and Mrs. Mathias of | Douglas. Capt. R. E. Davis, superintendent of the Tee Harbor Packing Com- pany, was in Juneau at the Hotel Cain after closing a successful sea- son at Tee Harbor. While the pack was below normal, prices were so much better that most cannery- men were content, Capt. Davis said. | An elevator had arrived for the | handsome new Zynda building that was soon to be occupied by the Hotel Cain. Martin Lynch was wearing a J good natured smile and the Trues- | dell medal as the result of the Gun | Club shoot. Willlam F. Merchant had sold his Ford automobile agency and wag leaving for the south to settle | the estate of his father. ! F. W. Bradley, president of the Treadwell mining company, left for the south. He hoped, he said, to arrive at his home in time to vote for a congressman who would support the Wilson administration Cedric Davis, Al Zenger and Lang Cobb remnmd,‘ from a hunting trip aboard the Cordelia D, with fourtecn fine deer. ‘: ‘Weathe: oudy | > SAVE THE DATE Old Book, White Elephane and Goodie Sale November 10. —ady.| ————— ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, OCT. 19, 1934.
