KING’S EQUERRY TO PLAN FOR TRIP
OF PRINCE OF WALES TO ARGENTINA
EXPERTS WOULD SAVE HERRING
FOR ENGLAND’S BREAKFASTS
__
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 19.—The humble!
herring, staple breakfast diet in thou- j
sands of British homes, has become j
the subject of much research, and
two British scientists recently went
to Norway to acquire a more de
tailed knowledge of his temperament
and habits.
Fisheries authorities point out that
the huge catches of herring in the
North sea of late years have threat
ened the supply and the migrations
and seasonal distribution of fish of
different ages are being studied in an
effort to prevent the decimation of
the runs, such as happened in the
case of salmon in the Pacific north
west and British Columbia waters.
Thousands of herring have been cap
tured and marked for further idemi
fication, then released, and fishermen
advised to notify the Fisheries Devel
opment commission if they are caught
in the future.
Another means of determining the
migration routes of fish of different
ages is by counting the annual
growth of rings which appear on the
scales.
Americans Good Patrons
of Paris-London Air Route
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21 —
Americans develop a penchant for
flying when they get to Europe, ac
cording to Lieut. John P. Van Zandt,
of the United States air service, who
has just returned from a 6,000 mile
air trip through Europe studying de
velopment of commercial aeronautics.
During the summer weeks 1,000
passengers leave London by plane for
Paris, and the majority are American
tourists. More than 35,000 Ameri
cans have flown between the Brit
ish and French capitals, saving from
four to eight hours on the trip, and
avoiding the turbulent English Chan
nel which has caused many a trav
eler to lose his love for the sea.
Thoughtful Signora Puccini
(By Associated Press)
VIENNA, Jan. 21.—The late Giaco
mo Puccini was forever looking for
his eyeglasses, intimate friends here
recall. His wife, who did everything
within her power to remove all
sources of irritation from her hus
band, so that he might give free rein
to his genius, therefore invested in
a supply of glasses. *
In his study alone his friends reg
ulatly noted not less than five sets of
glasses, one on the piano, another on
his desk, a third on a little table
next to the fire place, a fourth on
his bookcase and a fifth on a music
rack.
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 20.—An announce
ment that Sir Charles Cust, King
George’s equerry, is leaving for South
America early in 1925, creates the

Wales’ visit to Argentina later in ihe
year.
Sir Charles joined the navy in the

captain in 1918. He has been an
equerry to the king since 1892 and
is a close and trusted personal friend
of the royal family.

AMERICAN INDIANS TRACED
TO MAYAS OF YUCATAN
(By Associated Presat
TONOPAH, Nev., Jan. 20.—Captain
Allen LeBaron, British archaeologist,
who has been exploring excavations
of ancient villages in Nevada, pass
ed through here recently on his way
to the Colorado river to continue his
quest lor the identity of the first in
habitants of the American continent.
The captain is trying to discover
as early as he can from archaeo
logical evidence, who these people
were and where they came from,
jit is his plan to reopen some of the
old turquoise mines and, by sys
tematic excavation, to trace the
j early races from Boulder Canyon
j to the eastern border of Nevada.
! Captain Le Baron says the evi
jdence indicating a connection be
tween the early people of this re
gion and the Mayas of Yucatan,
Mexico, is accumulating. He con
siders one of his most important
finds a symbol of sacrifice, a pro
tesque mask, which he uncovered in
Axtec Canyon, 35 miles south of
| Las Vegas, Nev. It is like the
j masks known to have been worn by
Maya priests when they conducted
| the sacrificial services where thous
jands of victims were immolated.

PRETTY JAP GIRLS NOT OUT
FOR CONDUCTORETTE JOBS
TOKIO, Japan, Jan. 19.—Superin
tendent Saaw, of the City Electric
Bureau, is bewailing the lack of pul
chritude among the women of Japan.
The bureau recently decided to in
stall a new motor bus service and
conceived the scheme of “beautifying
the buses” by hiring girl conductors.
It advertised for comely maidens and
Saaw picked himself as the beauty
expert who would select the fairest
from the applicants.
More than 100 would-be conductor
ettes turned up. Saaw looked them
over.
“They were pretty, all right,” he
said. “Ah, yes, pretty poor. It was
a procession of the homeliest faces
I ever gazed upon. I am beginning
to think that Japan has no pretty
girls. If there are any they certain
ly are not looking for jobs as bus
conductorettes.”
CHANGE IN IMMIGRATION
LAW PROPOSED IN HOUSE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—Im
mediate enactment of legislation
which would permit aliens whose
passports were vised properly prior
to July 1, last, if otherwise admissible
to enter the United States as non-quo- ;
to immigrants, was advocated at a j
hearing today before the house immr-1
^ration committee by a group of wit- ;
nesses.
Representative Perlman, republican
of New York, has introduced a reso
lution for the relief sought. He esti
mated that approximately 10,000
aliens had been made the innocent
sufferers of a new immigration policy
after they had prepared to depart for
the United States. Those unable to
sain admittance for the most part
have been held at ports of " debarka
tion or at their homes.
German Artists Willing
To Rent Their Paintings
(By Associated Press)
MUNICH, Jan. 21.—German artists
have devised a novel way of earning
a little money while prospective pur
chasers of their paintings are making
up their minds. Through a central
organization they will loan their pic
tures, at a small fee, to individuals
and societies.
Thus a collector is given a chance
to see how a painting will look in
his house, and go with his family, be
fore making the purchase, and the
schools and clubs can give art ex
hibitions at moderate expense.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
