i i THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, NOV 28, 1936. RELIEF FUNDS RECEIVED FROM MANY SOURGES Little Camp > of Hirst Chl— chagof Sends in Sum of $250 The local relief committee ap- pointed by Mayor I. Goldstein re-| ports excellent progress and that subscriptions are coming in from many sources. The committee has made a canvass of the town, but of course was not able to see every- | one. Those who have not been seen by the committee are mostly send- ing in subscriptions voluntarily or leaving thém with the banks or the members of the committee. Today N. C. Banfield took a sub- | scription list to Douglas, and with the help of Mayor A. E. Goetz and a committee ‘specially appointed by him to assist Mr. Banfield, a can- vass is being made of the town of Douglas this afternoon. Mayor Goetz has headed the Douglas sub-, scription list. $250 From Hirst Chichagof The following telegram was re- ceived last night from Mr. Paul M Sorenson, superintendent of the Hirst Chichagof Mine: Hirst Chichagof Mine via Soap-, stone Point, Alaska, Nov. 27, 1936.

A Relief Bill, to be offered by the President late in the session. Modification of the Tennessee Valley Act to place strong empha- sis on land use and conservation. New Floor Leader Will Carry Program The task of Carrying the program will rest on the new floor leader to be chosen soon after the opening of the session. Many New Deal laws, esxplring early next year must also be con- sidered by Congress. These include the President’s power to regulate the dollar gold content, the Recon- struction Finance Corporation lend- ing power and the PWA. ————— Convicts Stab Executioner MCcALISTER, Okla., “Shoot to kill. If you hit me its okeh,” shouted Rich Owen, veteran executioner ignoring his own peril yesterday as guards with guns kill- ed two prisoners who were attack- ing him in an attempt to escape from the State Penitentiary.

Nov. 28. — A | country storekeeper swapped a soda fountain for 100 apple trees 42 years ago and laid out the first or- chard in north Georgia. Today W. A. Staight, who got the fountain in the first place in con- sideration for thé “lingering” ac- count, is king of a million-dollar- a-year apple industry with elabor- ate - packing plants, millions of trees and work for thousands. A mammoth red apple of iron and concrete in the heart of Cornelia bears testimany to the fruit which Staight’s apples consider their ec- onomic salvation. Staight likes to think back to that early start when he sees trucks rumbling over the highways with loads from his famous Habersham county orchard consigned to mer- chants in six states. He says the story of the apple industry, the community’s biggest, is one of a section's fight against red sticky land—land that won't easily produce cotton or tobacco such as that on the rich soil elsewhere in the state. But the frolicksome swing of the hill-billy music in Habersham'’s low hills, as another apple crop is gath- ered, indicates the fight against land has been won. “It’s been a hard fight,” Staight} reflects. “The trees require con- stant care—spraying for discase and insects, broadcasting fertilizer and guarding them against the elements But north Georgians have learned you have to look after apple trees to realize profit from them “A good many people have come here from the cities, bought land and trees, and laid out orchards. Some thought all you had to do was put the trees in the ground, light your pipe, and wait for the trees to make you money. They usually 1ost what they had.” Staight says he sold “a good share” of the apple trees planted in the section and that the first tree he planted has $50 worth of fruit on it today. ————— Air Travel Is Increased by Strike of Ship Crews BALBOA, Canai Zone, Nov. 28.— Air travel in Latih-America is now booming as a result of the sea- men’s strike in the United States and the Inter-American Peace Con- ference at Buenos Aires.

This he calls “Adventures In Er- ror,” and the title is perfect. So is the delightfully skeptical tone of the whole, even though the book has been so carelessly edited that in places the explorer refers to his having only one even- ing in which to make his points, speaking to an audience which ex- isted for the lecture, but not neces- sarily for the book. Stefansson addresses himself mainly to the impossible task of proving to the public that nothing it reads is necessarily true. The classic example of public misappre- hension has to do with Columbus and America; we still revere Co- lumbus as discoverer. But Stefans- son gets much more detailed and specific. He disproves things he himself has “discovered.” He shows how he has been credited, for ex- ample, with discovering the “blond” 1 Eskimos, although these people were discovered in 1656 by Nicholas Tunes, and at least four times be- tween that date and his own “find” in 1911. To make the situation still more ridiculous, Stefasson had to discover them a second time (in 1912) before he got popular credit. This same amazing process the explorer details in a large number of cases having to do with himself and other explorers. He examines the wolf pack superstition, the polar continent superstition, the furore over the North Pole dis-, coverers, the now exploded theory' that the Arctic is a region of excessive cold, the odd idea that’ Eskimos live in snow houses, the equally odd one that musk oxen live on mosses and lichens. These and dozens more of - the we think we know. It is something to discover an explorer who can really write amusingly. When this paragon proves further that he can “de- bunk” himself and still laugh he is pretty nearly unique. “Adventures In Error” is compulsory reading for all historians and text book writers.

But the reluctance of the refined ladies of the ninéteenth century to .use it resulted in noteworthy con- 'tributions to the American lan- guage. “Bosom,” ‘breasi” ant. “ieg” were taboo in polite circles 100 years ago, ‘said Dr. Mathews, assistant editor of the dictionary of American Eng- lish. now being published by the Umver “ity of Chicago Press. He add- ed: “Leg was not to be uttered i mix- ed company even though ' might defer to the leg of a horse, of a table, or of a piano. The ladies performed all sorts of linguistic | acrobatics to avoid it. At a table they would ask for the first and second joint of the fowl instead of asking outright for a chicken leg. Sometimes they asked for a ‘trott- ter” of the chicken. “From this exocessive timidity arose the expression, “dark meat,” meaning the legs of chickens, and “white meat,” meaning meat from Lle breast of the fowl. “One young lady spoke of her ‘wires’ when she referred to her legs. In 1840 Longfellow apparently referred facetiously to this dread of the word leg when he wrote: ‘Young misses at boarding school are not allowed to cross their benders.’” Dr. Mathews suspected American women originated the expression, “balloon sleeves” to avoid the Brit- (ish term “leg of mutton sleeves.” He related his findings in an ad- idress before the Southern Wo- men’s Educational Alliance, - MRS.

This cocktail was discovered in the Patent Office records by Thom- as Midgley, the man who invented the first anti-knock stuff for gaso- line. Mr. Midgley is one of the‘ world’s famous chemists. Mr. Midgley analyzed the halr tonic, patented in 1909 by Fred-! erick Wilhelmb Amyl Mueller. “It’s contents proved to be,” said Mr. Midgley, “good corn whiskey soaked in ripe currants, to which is added port wine. It's a great cocktail.” e Don’t Toot! COATESVILLE, Pa. — Wedding parties—the horn-tooting variety— will cost $100 in Coatesville. Mayor Albert R.
