ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. paper ANOTHER AERIAL ACHIEVEMENT Believed to have set a new long distance, non-stop record, the second group of Soviet fliers have landed at San Jacinto in California about midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, their goal. Had they arrived at San Diego they would have traversed 6,500 miles from Moscow. The previous record was made by Codas and Rossi, the French airmen, who flew from New York to Syria, a distance of 5667 miles. But whether Pilot Gromoff and his companions have set a new distance record or not, they certainly have completed a remarkable flight and one which, coupled with the one recently rompleted by another group of Russians, foretells the development of com- mercial air lines over the top of the world. That is the theory back of the Soviet flights and apparently the theory is to be proven. s There Is, no doubt, still a long ways to go before regular schedules can be maintained by air over the Pole or over some of the other regions of the world for that matter, due to weather conditions. But these conditions are being overcome gradually with the building of better and faster planes; machines which can stand more buffeting and still stay aloft, and motors which send them soaring at tremendous speed at high altitudes, often over the storms. It is a marvelous flight, and one for which the Russians are due great credit, but the mark they set will be as only a leg on the records to be established in the future as the aerial engineers and pilots, urged by the demand for fast transportation, push on to new marks and new airways that will completely net the globe, north and south as well as east and west. BETTERI} :\L:\l\‘Ki S HEALTH Keeping abreast with general Alaska development and improvement, but little thought of in that connec- tion, is public health service. With the national! ad- ministration taking' such a marked interest in na- tional health and encouraging its promotion, advance- ment has been made generally throughout the coun- try and in the last year much of that service has been extended to Alaska. Particularly important in this enlarged public health service is the increase in public health nurses. These nurses play a major role in the dissemination of information on health as well as caring for the ill. In a recent public health publication, under the head- ing “general responsibility,” we find the following relative tc public health nurses: It is the responsibility of the public health nurse to assist in analyzing health problems and related social problems of families and individuals; to help them, with the aid of com- munity resources, to formulate an acceptable plan for the protection and promotion of their own health, and to encourage them to carry out the plan. The public health nurse: 1. Helps to secure early medical diagnosis and treatment for the sick. 2. Renders or secures nursing care of the sick, * teaches through demonstration and supervises care given by relatives and attendants. 3. Assists the family to carry out medical, sanitary, and social procedures for the £ promotion’ of health, 4. Helps to secure adjustment of social conditions which afféct health. 5. Influences the community to develop public health facilities through partici- pating in appropriate channels of com- munity education for the promotion of a sound, adequate community health program. Shares in community action leading to betterment of health con- ditions. Without nurses, a public health program no mat- ter how ambitious would be doomed. Theirs is a big responsibility. If they accept it, and there seems to be every reason to believe that they are, Alaskans will greatly benefit and health conditions. in the Territory doubtless will be improved.

Millikan voiced the opinion that democracy’s hope lies in the extension of the scientific approach to government, It is a question | whether the methods of the physicist can be applied in solving the problems of society because of the im- mense number of variables that must be handled and the impossibility of studying them one at a time after the manner of the laboratory. Yet there is undoubt- edly a connection between democracy and science. Never was there a time when men did not experi- ment—when there was not some science. But the objective method of inquiry did not begin to flower until about the middle of the eighteenth century or at a time when the idea of democracy began to per- meate western Europe. The freedom of thinking and inquiring which is the very essence of the scien- | tific approach is a direct offspring of the llberly.f equality and fraternity for which believers in demo- | cracy laid down their lives. Hence, the fight for democracy is the fight for science—the fight for the objective method that has given us so many dis- coveries. munism fosters science with this detachment.

Larger Brains in Future (Ohio State Journal) Men of the future will have exceedingly large brains, it is opined by Dr. Freglerick Tilniey 'of Columbia University. Dr. Tilney declares that through cen- turies of evolution of the human body the brain has been ekpanding and the forehead rising above the eyes. However, Dr. Tilney points out, the average man |ducing state of the Union? of today utilizes only a small fraction of the brain | power he possesses.
