CONTINUE CAMPAIGN FOR ALASKA NEEDS
Among activities of the Alaska development committee
of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce for development of
the Territory arc several now bearing results, according to
the June issue of Tacoma Progress. Chairman C. C. Gar
land has constantly urged Washington’s delegation to sup
port bond issues permitting improvement of Alaska com
munities. and Congress recently has issued authorization for
Nome, Valdez, Petersburg, Seward and Ketchikan.
Surveys and improvements for harbors in Alaska are
included in the Congressional rivers and harbors bill which
has passed one House of Congress, according to recent ad
vice from Roseanna MeQuesten, Tacoma Chamber Washing
ton, D.C., representative. It includes appropriations for
Petersburg, Sitka and Valdez harbors and Wrangell narrows
Mr. Garland’s committee still is urging establishment
of an air mail service between Puget Sound and Alaska, also
the initiation of air mail service between this state and the
Orient via Alaska. The group also is working for a federal
building at Anchorage.
“FORGOTTEN MAN HAS BEEN FOUND
Though many have forgotten the fact, John Garner still
is vice president of the United States. School teachers tell
their students that the vice presidency is a good place to
bury a man. Columnists ostentatively recall the do-noth
ingness of vice presidents for years back.
The wise ones have remarked time and again that Roose
velt’s “forgotten man” has been found—found in the person
of the vice president.
It is true that the vice presidency leads to obscurity.
Garner himself realizes this, for a few distinguished people
from Buffalo asked the vice president not long ago to make
a talk in Buffalo. Garner explained that he never speaks
publicly, lest he be considered as speaking for the adminis
tration. “It's better to be dumb,” he said.
By which he showed that he isn’t so dumb. As a matter
of fact" Garner is a good politician and he occasionally takes
a hand when others have failed. The inside dope is that he
forgets the obscurity of his position when he attends cabinet
meetings. There he speaks his mind, cautions the new deal
ers and gives free but forceful lessons in practical politics.

World Tongue Is
Greatest Need At
Present Nations
(By The Associated Press!
LONDON, Aug. 1, — In declaring
that nations were slowly but surely
adopting English as a world lang
uage. Dr. Paul Thorwald of Finland
explained to the delegates of the
Rotary International association
meeting at Margate, England, why
no other living language and why no
synthetic language could serve that
purpose.
It was in reply to Walter Hender
son of Australia, who had declared
that it was the curse of the Tower
of Babel that was preventing inter
national friendship. People wanted
living common language, one with
a literature, one in which they
could make love, and one in which
they could swear, a language full
of emotion, he said. The best lan
guage in the world that did not
speak, he addl'd, was the friendly
wag of a dog’s tail.
Dr. Thorwald said that no arti
ficial language could ever serve as
a vehicle for either diplomatic or
commercial conversation, for two
reason: It could not be identically
pronounced by different nations and
it had no literature, and hence could
nut be manipulated rhetorically. The
former objection, he said, might be
overcome through teachers of a com
mon ethnic origin teaching the lan
guage in the schools of all nations
interested—but that would hardly be
possible, and he concluded:
But no other nation of the world
w mid like another language to be
accepted as a world language. They
agree, however, that English is not
difficult to learn, and I believe the
nations of the earth are drifting to
ward English.

IN AUSTRALIA, IT AIDS SO
LUTION OF MYSTERY
(Bv The Associated Press 1
SIDNEY, Australia, Aug. 2,
Evidence of murder furnished by a
captured shark has caused a tre
mendous sensation in Sydney Aus
tralia.
Two fishermen caught the shark,
a 14-foot tiger, and presented it to j
the Coogee aquarium. The change
of environment upset the creature’s
nerves and internal arrangement.
For a week it refused to eat and
cruised broodingly in the pbol. Then
one afternoon it seemed suddenly
to go mad, dashing from one end
of the pool to the other, its tail
lashing the water widly. Finally
it disgorged violently a shoulder
length human arm.
The records of tatoocd missing
men were searched, and finally all
eliminated except tw'o, each having
pictures of boxers. Then the arm
was positively identified by a broth
er us having belonged to James
Smith. His identification was con
firmed by fingerprints obtained from
flakes of skin taken from the fing
ers.
James Smith, ex-boxer and bil
liard saloonkeeper, had told his
wife he was going on a fishing ex
pedition w'ith an unnamed friend,
walked out of his home, and never
returned.
Eight detectives detailed for the
inquiry traced Smith to Cronulla,
a near-by seaside resort. Search of
a hut there revealed certain of his
belongings, but the owner of the
hut was missing. The trail doubled
back to Sydney, and Patrick Brady,
a wool shearer, was arrested and
charged with the murder.
