He began building acks of barley around it as a youngster lugging hea the brewery In Jater life, he Kept up a moderate routine of exercise under a professional trainer. One of his stunts was a daily walk around the Central Park reservoir. As a boy, he played baseball with a neighborhood team but never approached professional skill.

Alaska Airmail Strides (Fairbanks News-Miner) Nearly half a ton of airmail from the States Southeast Alaska and Yukon coming into Fairbanks on five planes in a period of two weeks, with Christ- mas greetings and other letters bespeaks a volume as to the success of the newly established service. Only seven months old, this service, as this volume attests, has claimed the attention of thousands Out- side of the Territory as well as within. When inaugurated, the postal authorities an- nounced the service would be justified if it averaged 35 pounds per weekly trip. Already the average pound- age runs far above that figure, and is steadily on the upgrade, No doubt about it, the contemplated expanded air- mail service that will link up Juneau with Seattle and | the States, and Fairbanks and other major Alaskan points likewise will prove justified. The sooner it comes the better. The constant improvement in the star air mail service of Alaska also is to be commended. Officials and others responsible for this improvement deserve the thanks of all Alaskans and the many outside Alaska who the the beneficiaries in way of rapid and dependable mail transmission. May the good work go on, spe!dmg the day when all Alaskan communities’ will be tied together and brought into the closest possible relations through the medium of the most modern and rapid form of mail service the world has known.
