Perhaps it is not too much to hope that the differences now existing be- tween the “straight” historians and the “social studies” people will be reconciled.

At every pos- sible opportunity they, and the officials in the party, had talked with the people of the Territory concerning problems and plans for develop- ment of the country. 20 YEARS AGO Under the personal supervision of Leslie W. Hayes of the Travel Service Bureau of Los Angeles, a party of 37 prominent California resi- dents arrived in Juneau aboard the Northwestern. They planned to continue Westward to Cordova, from there to Chitina and over the Richardson Highway to Fairbanks, returning to the coast on the Alaska Railroad. This was the Travel Service's third important:tour of the season. Miss Gladys Mathews, daughter of Dr. Mark A. Mathews, of Seattle, arrived in Juneau on the Northwestern to be the house guest of Mrs, Scott C. Bone and Miss Marguerite Bone. Miss Mathews and Miss Bone were girlhood friends and sorority sister at the University of Wash- ington. A Detroit excursion party of 51 boys under the leadership of George Buchanan, millionaire coal and coke dealer of that city, was to leave Vancouver on the Princess Charlotte for a trip to Alaska which was to include Skagway, Whitehorse and Atlin. At a meeting of Companies 1 and 2 of the Douglas Fire Department held the previous evening, the principle topic of discussion was a picnic planned by the firemen to be partially financed by the $25 prize won jointly by the two teams of the companies on the Fourth. Mrs. John F. Main and Miss Margaret Main, wife and daughter of Chief Justice Main of the Washington State Supreme Court, were arrivals in Juneau on their way to Tenakee to be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Teniieson and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Roop of the Superior Packing Company. Miss Main and Mrs. Tenneson had been classmates at Wellesley College. Everything was in readiness for the lawn party to be held in Tread- well by the P.-T. A. of Douglas the following night. Games, refresh- ments, a gypsy fortune teller and other features were planned. Weather was cloudy with a maximum temperature of 78 and a minimum of 71. et e Daily Lessons in English % 1. cornon PUSUSS PSS TSSUISSS S e WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, “The question as to his record was not discussed.” Say, “The question OF his record.” OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED: Burlesque.

The evi- dence was so overwhelming, hov ever, that they were convicted de- spite the officer's testimony. i ven more amazing was the! strange behavior of the Navy in protecting the Anaconda Wire and Cable Company at, Marion, Ind, which the Justice Department had| indicted for fraudulently selling faulty wire to the Army and Navy. The Army Signal Corps immedi- ately telegraphed an order that the defective Anaconda wire be segre- gated and used for training pur- poses only. But the Navy acted as if the Anaconda Company should be re- warded. Admiral Earle W. Mills; as- sistant chief of the Bureau of Ships, telephoned Assistant Attor- ney General Clark that he might be called upon to testify, and if so his testimony would be favorable to Anaconda. Simultaneously, the Justice De- partment found that the Navy had prepared a statement to the effect that it had tested 15 samples of Anaconda’s DeGaussing wire and found it satisfactory. The DeGaus- sing wire was entirely different from the wire for which Anaconda was indicted, but naval officers ap-| Depamnmu;so Nazi divisions ACROSS 1. Kindred . Stores 9. Weep bitterly 8spot. 13.

In Washington, bankers and heads of great corporations will confer on matters of supreme sig- nificance at this time when the ap- palling cost of war will be felt by the nation. General prosperity will continue and the outlook for Fall will be encouraging. NATIONAL ISSUES: Although: thousands of gold stars have ap- peared on our service flags the great majority of the people of the United States have been “only slightly . touched by participation in the ‘war.
