And when they told him he just had to come down, he blandly waved a bottle by way of reply and didn't budge. So, not having any steeplejacks among them, the police had to let him stay on top of the flagpole pressing A Legionnaire with an amplifier was assigned to identify passing units for spectators in the reviewing stand in front of the Public Library. As a detachment of marines drew smartly abreast the stands, Legion- naire announcer’s voice boomed with the triumph of one settling an old score “Marines!

They brought dirt all the way from Chattanooga, dumped it in front of the New York Times Annex at 43rd St. and Broadway and poured on buckets of water until they had a hog wallow that would have pleased the most discrimin- ogereq gin for himself and Scotch and soda for the . oi ating. Then the Chattanooga Legionnaires wallowed in their mud. It was more fun The North Dakota delegation seemed to have something’ better to do. One of the delegation had a lariat with which he tried to lasso kissable ladies in the crowd. He finally got the lariat around a girl and did his best to make her buy her freedom with a kiss, but all he got was laughed at Miss Grace Gibson, of Ajo, Ariz, thought it was | great fun lassoing spectators, but she didn't try to kiss them. As the Vermont delezation swung proudly by 30th St. a loyal Democrat yelled from the sidewalk:i— “Three cheers!

These doors swing open as a person walks up to them. They are still trying to figure out wh; the device failed to work when this particular ex- soldier came up. In any event, he went right through the plate glass The precautions taken against damage at the New Yorker is typical of all the midtown hotels. The chambermaids, when they enter a room to make up the beds, take the pillows away during the daytime so the boys won't rip them apart and dump the feathers all over the place.

When he arrived at the Metropolitan Opera House |tor the convention session, he made himself com- fortable in J. P. Morgan's box and defied the ushers to move him. He didn't, he said, care what distinguished guests it was reserved for. “Hell,” quoth Mr. Dunwell with feeling, | Legionnaire, am T not?

The proposal to establish a route from Mon- tana, through Canada, thence to the remote interior of Alaska would pass up almost all the centers of |Alaskan population. Thus, the appeal of Governor Troy and others in Juneau is well sounded at this time. The only real argument for service via the interior Iroute is that weather is more favorable on the interior |route. While this is undoubtedly the case, it is pro- {bable that the difference is not so great as to make it |necessary to discount coastal Alaska from all consid- eration. Planes on the interior route may be grounded !just as planes on the coastal route. Neither route cold, with safety, maintain an unbroken year-round schedule If Alaska is to be served with air mail, Ketchikan and Juneau are the two largest cities and as such shouldn't be neglected. The First division—South- eastern. Alaska—embraces more than a third of the total permanent population of the Territory, and is most active commercially the year around Furthermore, when Southeastern Alaska seeks a place on the air mail map it does not argue against the case of the interior—for it would be served as well or better via the coast and then via the interior. Already, Pacific Alaska Airways has demonstrated the practicability of a scheduled air line from Juneau to Fairbanks. Intercoastal has maintained an envi- able schedule this year between Ketchikan and Ju- neau. The regular trips of the Ellls plane between Ketchikan and the west coast, and of other air trans- ports from Juneau to nearby communities, demon- strate the practicability of year-around feeder routes If there is to be an air mail service between the States and Alaska, surely Southeastern Alaska mus! be served Somehow or other, 'a night’s sleep seems even question.” D < LOOK and LEARN By A.
