This is what the Roosevelt administration striving to do. Now its hands are tied by the com- pulsory arms embargo which the House last week | voted into the Bloom neutrality bill and the refusal of Senate leaders to allow further action on neutrality this session. | The embargo idea, of course, has many supporters. They are presumably sincere in their belief that iso- was lation is possible and will protect America In this connection it is surprising to find a man so well acquainted with world affairs Herbert Hoover preaching the same isolationist doctrine as as esident and Business Manager | s . e et 1 5 areas north of Juneau is entirely too prevalent.

A few years ago elaborate markers were placed on | our highways, trails, and scenic and historic spots. ™ | Practically all of them have been ruined by promiscu- us shooting and are now being replaced with simpler | less expensive signs that do not shatter so readily under | ifle fire. The marking and scarring of posts and walls, the carving of initials on tables and benches, and the hacking of nearby irees have getracted im- measurably from the beauty of rustic picnic shelters. | These are simply a few of the many evidences of mis- | quided outdoor activities which we see on every hanc when we spend the day in our surrounding forests These acts show a lack of appreciation and respect for those things which are the pleasure of our loca people and the admiration of our many visitors. Let us treat kindly these things that give us en joyment. Let each of us appoint himself a persona ;uardian of our local outdoor recreational facilities Let us take a sort of pledge: to give the camper o picnicker who follows us a fair break for a good time | to confine our chopping and whittling to wood that is going into the campfire; to leave our playgrounds is clean as or cleaner than we found them; to burr the picnic refuse before leaving the spot; to drown out the last live coals of our fires and thereby avoid the danger of forest conflagrations. Let us afford to these publicly-owned recreational features and areas the same care we would if they were our personal property. The Forest Service anc other public agencies that take the lead in developing recreational use and maintaining the roadside beauty of our highways and tra should be giver convincing evidence that their work is publicly in appreciated The Unknown Swimmer (Philadelphia Record) There is a little story in the papers about a Danish girl named Jenny Kammersgaard—just a little story Jenny swam 4846 miles last week in a futile effort tc cover the 83 miles between Zealand and the Danisbh coast. Last summer, Jenny swam the 37 miles from Gedser, Denmark, to Niegenhagen, Germany Most points at which the English Channel has been spanned by swimmers are a much shorter dis- tance, nor is the Baltic less cold and difficult. Yet only a few years ago there were columns and columns and columns and columns about the English Channel swimmers, both male and female. Jenny, it seems, was born too late. The style has passed her by. She could eat a few goldfish and wir more fame than by swimming nearly 50 miles. She may have the courage, the endurance and the skill of .the greatest of the channel swimmers but for all the world cares, she might just as well be good at archi or make samplers. Many may never see a picture of Jenny Kam- | mersgaard. But we salute her anyway. Whether she has a publicity man or not, 48 miles are 48 miles. American Maneuvers (Cincinnati Enquirer) Although puny in contrast to the gigantic maneu- vers of Europe's mass armies, American summer | maneuvers will be the most ambitious on record. In particular the problem to be worked out in the vicinity of Plattsburg, N. Y. will represent an unusual con- | centration of American soldiery.
