With proper cooperation from the home owners visited, the work of these canvasssers backed by the Juneau Better Homes Campalign Committee, and the Federal Housing Administrtaion can result in fine constructive improvements to many homes in Juneau. The general outlook for the continued prosperity and consistent growth of Juneau is excellent, specific indications of which have been pointed out here several times recently. Through improvement of homes and residential property, owners and tenants are not only benefited by increased comforts and conveniences but property‘flmount loaned has been repaid by each group of values are generally raised and the usefulness and| lives of structures lengthened.

(New York World-Telegram.) “If you can't keep up the pace you're finished,” has become the law of the sea for passenger ships. | News comes that three great liners—the Minne- waska, Minnetonka, British ships, carriers, and the liner France, former greatest cargo pride of Marianne—have been sold to be broken up for scrap. The Bremens, the future Queen Marys and their speedy likes are intolerant tryants and snooty favorites of a fast-moving race of men. Los Angeles to New York by air in twelve hours; preakfast in New York, luncheon in Miami; supper in New York—the air teeming with craft fleet and far-reaching, and new 112-mile-an-hour trains on the earth—the ocean has got to yield speed to stay in the running. Lumbering liners, bullt a brief ten years ago and perfectly seaworthy and comfortable, must go to the junk heap. The question is, How rapidly is this inexorable law of speed fixing itself upon old-model human beings in this speed-crazed world? Fort Harroa »nd the wiutierness. (Cincinnat! ®mquirer.) In a day when much is said sneeringly about rugged individualism, the visit of the President to the site of the first permanent settlement of pioneer Americans west of the Alleghenies is likely to chal- lange the thoughts of many Americans. More than a century and a half has passed since Captain James Harrod and his companions founded the first permanent American settlement ‘west of the Alleghenies at Harordsburg, Ky. ‘Their THE ARCTIC o MINERS’ RECREATION THE ALASKAN Railways Mortgage loan companies Loan associations ..

President Roosevelt shot straight at the mark when he drafted Captain George Fried, sea, hero, for the post of Supervising Inspector of the Bureau |lof Navigation and Steamboat Inspection Service, | with headquarters in New York. With the eagle eye and conscientious mind of this great sea officer on the passenger leaving New York there should be no more slipshod no more ships safety equipment, insufficient, dverworked, untrained crews or incompetent officers. Here is a man who in great crises has put human life above dollars, who is known and revered because he has saved lives where others have lost lives. With Captain Fried on the job here pas- sengers can walk up the gangplanks of outgoing vessels with a new confidence that they will not burn to death or land in the water or at the bottom The second heartening item is the announcement that Captain Fried will submit recommendations for law revision designed to buttress effective in- spection in preventing another Vestris or Morro The final significant aspect of the appointment is that it seems to show clearly that the President of the nation is moving to achieve what only he could achieve—an overhauling not only of the ancient sea laws but of the Federal agencies charg- ed with enforcing them.
