■MEL III
NEW ROLE
(Anchorage Times.)
Appreciation and gratitude are two
words coined by Noah that occupy
a prominent place in the unabridged.
To show appreciation and express
gratitude is rare in this day and age
of busy selfish commercclal life. How
ever, it does occur, nor is the action
confined to any particular class of
people, but possibly is more apt to be
found among people of that walk of
life aptly called “the Balt of the
earth."
It was largely through the generos
ity of Captain A. E. Lathrop that the
Alaska Labor Union was able to build
their magnificent edifice on the solid
foundation of a prominent Fourth ave
nue lot; In other ways he has helped
the order in both finance and wisdom;
always from the spirit of generosity
and public spiritedness.
The committee In charge of the
opening dance is merely a voice of the
3,000 members of the Alaska Labor
Union, who rose as one man and voted
aye in the selection of Captain La
throp to lead the grand march.
The selection is a proper recognition
of the captain's efforts In their behalf,
and moreover expresses their appreci
ation and gratitude. Strange to say
the captain is a past master In the
art of leading grand marches, and it
was a well known fact that several
Intricate figures have been named af
ter him.
A representative of The Times ac
companied the committee who extend
ed the invitation to Captain Lathrop.
He demurred at first and positively
refused to accept the honor until the
dainty feminine member of the com
mitteo used her irresistible charms.
The captain succumbed to the artful
blandishment and accepted with a
blush of pride. It was very easy to
see that the mere thought of the sub
ject brought back memories of other
days, and it was also apparent that the
reminiscent twinkle in his eyes meant
a story, This time there was no young
lady present to help and it was only
after every known wile of the craft
wns used that the captain came
through and moat of it was taken from
a newspaper clipping yellow with age.
The article was printed by one of
the eastern metropolitan newspapers,
and went on to relate the many social
functions that were given the Duchess
at Connaught and her party at
time of their visit to America some
forty years ago. |i was in the days
»t stocks, tiles and frock coats were
the fashion, hut age could not deface
the picture that accompanied the ar
ticle and the captain's stern counten
ance was easily discernible
The setting of the picture showed
me magnificently decorated ball room
In the governor's mansion of one of
the eastern states, and there the rap
tain with the demure duchess on his
arm in the lead of the grand march
that ushered in one of the mist bril
liant and costly social affairs in the
state s history. The article mentioned
old fashioned minuets and the stately
grace of the dancers. It also men
tioned the party dress of the duchess
and the description included crinoline,
hoops, silver buckled slippers and
powdered hair. But the account laid
particudar stress on the graceful man
ner Captain Lathrop and the Duchess
of Connaught led the grand march.
There is no need to go into the out
come of this affair nor tell of the
whirl of society events that followed.
But it might be well, in passing, to
state that the people of Anchorage
and all Alaska are certainly glad that
the captain did not accept the duchess'
oft repeated and pressing invitations
to visit the old Connaught family
castle in England. Then, as now, the
captain waa considered the catch of
the land; England's daughters are at
tractive, their mothers ambitious and
the captain, now as then, a trifle sus
ceptible.
Miss I>aura Boucker, endowed with
many more accomplishments than a
duchess, will be Captain Iiathjop’B
partner to lead the grand march that
will usher in the dance Saturday night.
1 he dance is merely a forerunner of
mauy affairs scheduled for next week
that will appropriately celebrate the
completion of the new Alaska Labor
Union hall.

FOUR BILLION SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
Is the total amount which the savings depositors have to their
credit in the various banks throughout the country. These de
positors represent 10,686,000 people, and receive over $141,000,
(M)0 in interest every year, and never have to worry about their
money.
These staggering figures furnish conclusive proof what
the spirit of thrift will accomplish.
These people started with a small amount, and by con
sistent saving have gradually built up savings accounts which
make them financially comfortable.
