CURRENT
COMMENT
The institution of a trans
Pacific Air service by the
departure of the China
Clipper from the Califor
nia coast was a cause for
rejoicing in the United
States, but it is to be won
dered whether or not the
Chinese did not do some
thinking along a less opti
mistic line, even though
the destination of the ship
was Manila and not Shang
hai. The route may be
lengthened at any time un
til it reaches oriental shor
es. Each cargo of western
civilization that has arriv
ed in China seems to have
included a good deal of
woe. China Clippers began
to get busy long ago, and
the clipping process still
goes on.
When the papers pub
lish anything about a pro
minent man, the printed
matter is very likely to be
accompanied by his pict
ure, even though the fash
ion of his countenance is
bs familiar as that of Geo
rge Washington, a state
ment that is especially true
for example, with respect
to Presidents. The necess
ity of filling space may
have something to do with
it, but that is not the und
erlying reason for running
a gallery of well known
portraits in the public
prints. The family album
has gone out of style, but
the impulse that gave it
life still exists. The desire
to know V ow a person
lookc follows closely on
the h' ls of even : n im
perfect knowledge of Tiat
he has accomplished.

Several American tour
ists get harsh words from
a crowd in Italy. No ser
ious complications are like
ly to follow, but the inci
dent brings to mind two
conditions that seem to pre
vail at all times and to con
stitute a continuing means
for stirring up internation
al trouble. Mobs will be
mobs, and there is always
a foreigner about, to serve
as a target for an epithet
or a brick.
The heading “Italy Pro
tests U. S Boycott” sug
gests a number of things.
It is bad for either a mot
orist or a nation to have
the supply of oil cut off.
Even a squeaky wheelbar
row is a nuisance. Italy suf
fers inconvenience just
now, but if Mussolini has
a dictionary of the English
language, he may get some
comfort out of the quota
tion employed in that book
to illustrate the use of the
word under consideration.

vertisement of the boycot

least is a good advertise
ment. Captain Boycott, the
first man of note to be
treated to the procedure
that now bears his name,
had no idea that he was be
ing rescued from what oth
erwise would have been the
limbo of obscurity.

New Laws Made
Juneau To Put
Tax On Games
The Juneau city council
recently passed two ordin
ances regulating gambling
and amusements and also a
third, imposing a fee for
holding auctions. The lat
ter is designed to protect
local merchants against un
fair competition of auctions
In the other two ordinan
ces, all card tables in public
amusement houses are tax
ed $5 a year with a mini
mum of $20 for each estab
lishmentconducting games,
and all “pin ball” games
are required to pay a fee of
$50 a year for operating.
As the ordinances became
effective immediately, the
council provided that a $10
fee should be collected
from the “pin ball” games
for the balance of the pres
ent year.—Ketchikan Alas

HAVE YOU TRIED
CO MAX COAL?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. II. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
