IN THE AGE OF BALLYHOO
It is mutable as to what effect this age of ballyhoo
i*riil eventually have upon future generations. -'Gauged
by the mad scramble for money in the oldest centres of
the nation, it resembles nothing so much as the conces
sions section of a county fair or circus. What with the
mass-production of raucous noises, much of which pass
es under the alias of marvelous music, the snapp
ing of fingers, rushing about like ants whose hill has
been trod upon by a careleess cow, high-pressure sales
manship, accompanied by the national refrain of “Gim
me,” there appears to be a promising field for psycho
pathic practioners. Like Hamlet's visit to England: the
unfortunate condemned to Morningside, or other re
sorts, will not be recognized as being sub or abnormal
but rather may be copied as having a new “line” as yet
not worn threadbare by the wise-cracker and superan
odyne, amplified 1000-watt dealer in canned super-con
centrated sun baths from which the actinic ray has been
removed under a new process guaranteed to produce
blisters containing fluid capable of counteracting the
-lope habit.
Prosperity is costing Uncle Sam almost as much as
the Eighteenth Amendment It is costing him the ner
vous systems of everyone from the rattle and rag-doll
age to mush diet and foot-warmers. Science will have
its work cut out for it in creating sufficient mass pro
dncton to counteract the encroaching St. Vitus dance
passing under the alias of business pep.
The kid that was once soothed to slumber by “Rock
a Bye, Baby,” now demands three fingers of T-iron
hootch, a half-dozen cooties to keep his spinal cord itch
ing and a concrete mixer amalgamating scrap-iron,
coal oil cans with an athmatic, leaky safety valve syn
copating with squeaky hearings to produce the proper
tempo calculated to induce sleep.
In the meantime New England is putting on an his
torical pageant imitative of America as she was before
the fashion craze caused a ripping out of the seams of
an old garment and creating something more suitable
to the temperament of a Touareg or a Kurd trying to
lazz himself into the presence of Mohamet. This may
point the way to a cure when, like the Kurd and the
vhtrliny dervish. exhaustion gets in its work.
ybe ■ ' 1: ■ juncture Alaska will appeal, with its
U - my . ,\ el esc to nature, indulge in meditation
nr-b offer < w no from the big ballyhoo called business
yep that Ik s sot tl e remainder of the nation bug-house.

Five Harvard University men
will undertake to climb Mount
Fairweather during the coming
summer, according to the Juneau
Empire. The expedition will out
fit at Juneau and plans to leave
on a small boat about June 20
for Lituya Bay to start its ardu
ous undertaking.
The party will be headed by B.
H. Washburn. The names of the
other four members were not giv
en. Information relative to a
guide and the charter of a vessel
was sought.
The five men are scheduled to
leave Boston June 14, for Prince
Rupert, traveling across Canada
on the Canadian National and
from Prince Rupert on a vessel
operated by the same company. It
is due to reach Juneau June 19;
and desires to leave the following
day for the Mount Fairweather
district. It plans to return in time :
to catch a Canadian National
sailing on August 27.
NENANA ICE
Reports coming from Nenana in- I
dicate that the ice in the Tanana '
river is much thicker than usual j
this season as a result of the light i
covering of snow. The ice is very :
heavy now and growing thicker j
daily, and there’s the promise of i
a spectacular breakup when the!
spring sun releases sufficient wa- j
ter to start the ice on its way
to the ocean. The thickness of
the ice, however, will not have any
influence on the time of the
breakup—it may be earlier or la- i
ter than usual, all according to j
the way the water comes after j
the spring thaw gets under way. j
