SEWARD’S FINE STREETS
If there is a better appearing street any
where in the Territory of Alaska than Sew
ard’s Fourth avenue, the main thorofare,
many citizens would like to know where
it is. To residents who daily have noticed
the progress of the work it is not so impres
sive as it will be to the newcomers. It is
one of the best assets any town or city can
boast of—good and clean looking avenues,
and the new Town Council is to be com
mended for their immediate action in this
particular civic improvement.
HOW CONFIDENCE HELPS
To have confidence in another man’s
square dealing is good evidence that you
practice square dealing yourself. Lack of
confidence has kept thousands of good men
in the background and they are standing
in the rear today, watching their more con
fident and aggressive workers succeed. If
you have faith in yourself and in your abi
lity, others will have faith in you. Nothing
can stop you if you know how to create the
confidence of your fellows.
If you are an employer you needn’t ex
pect complete efficiency in your help if you
are unable to establish their confidence in
you. You have to prove to them by your
personal and business acts, every day, that
you are to be trusted. Then you will have
a business organization to the proud of,
for your employees cannot help being bene
fited by daily contact with a man who is
four-square in everything he’does and says.
If a business man has self-reliance he can
inspire everybody about him with self-reli
ance. Confidence is catching, ancfca whole
some bond is made only when men have
confidence in each other, whether as pri
vate individuals or responsible representa
tives of a business. There cannot be two
standards. There is such a thing, of course
as over-confidence, but its real name is bad
judgment.
Nothing is more certain to destroy the
good feeling that may be cherished towards
you than to show distrust. On the con
trary, confidence leads people naturally to
act kindly, fairly, to trust and be trusted.
A MODEST VICTOR
Jean Borotra of France defeated William
T. Tilden of the U. S. A., seven years un
disputed tennis champion of the world, a
few weeks ago. Jean might have been par
doned for bragging a bit about such an ac
complishment, but did he?
He did not. When asked whether he ex
pects to beat Tilden in the Davis cup com
petition this summer, Borotra said:
“It is foolish to think so. When I defeat
ed Tilden the other day he was off his
stroke. You can well imagine that such
a thing will not happen again in .the
matches next week or in the Davis cup play.
I think I am due for a licking when I play
Tilden again.”
Borotra is declared to be the most popu
lar player among lovers of tennis, which is
not hard to understand in view of his un
usual skill and his still more unusual mod
esty.
MATTER OF BRAINS
It is too bad there is not some way to
train the city dwellers in the rules of the
out doors and the camp fire, just as he must
for the safety of life and property learn the
traffic and sanitation laws of the city. He
should know that it is wrong and intoler
able to throw down the lighted match or
cigarette in the forest, just as well as he
knows he must not throw tin cans and old
clothing into the street at home. He should
learn the eutiqette of the forest just as he
does the drawing-room. The smoker would
not throw his match or cigarette stump or
empty pipe ashes on his host’s rug or table
cover, but, without’^iving it a thought, the
same smoker will toss a burning match
or ashes on th*e floor of his host—the forest
where it threatens property worth millions
and even human lives.
TUNING IN ON AFFAIRS.
How’s your receivin set?
No I don’t mean that six tube super
whatyoumodyne you tinker ’round with
after dinner evenin's. I’m referrin’ to
your ability to tune in on things—business,
social, spiritual and otherwise that are
goin’ on all about you.
A well-developed receivin’ set of this
kind is a great asset to any business man.
You can’t develop it by hidin’ away all
day long in the back office of your shop,
missin’ the valuable contact both with
those who buy from you and those who sell
to you. You can’t develop it by passin’ up
all the invitations to the Chamber of Com
merce luncheons. Nor by missin’ church
52 consecutive Sundays every year. Nor
by makin’ the boundaries of your “world”
that that surround your town or city.
Charge up your batteries and broaden
•your personal tuning—radius. It will add
dollars to your income, years to your life,
and show you the vital difference between
nods and handshakes.
Ask the man who owns one!
WHAT S THE MATTER WITH AMERICA
While America, birthplace of the air
plane is marking time, Germany, character
istically, is rushing ahead with the proven
good thing, and it is impossible to discover
a valid reason for such a contrast. Indivi
dual initiative is doing it in Germany, but
America has plenty of that. Maybe, it is
because the American initiative is directed
so largely at stocks_and bonds.
Last year, Germany had two big airway
systems, the Aero^Lloyd and the Junkers.
These two have been merged, and before
summer arrives Germany will have 42
lines furnishing regular service, if the Al
lies don't impose restrictions because of the
belief that future wars will be decided in
the air. Beside a network of lines cover
ing her own territory, Germany will have
some wonderful trunk lines, Berlin-Vienna
Budapest, Constantinople-Angora, for in
stance, and it will be possible to hop into
a machine, in Berlin, at 2 a. m., and have
supper in Moscow the evening of the same
day.
What ails America that her air travel
continues to be a joke thru the years?
This is Cleanup week. Boy bring me
those dice!
As soon as it was announced that this
country had entered the war, the mess ser
geants started to mobolize all the canned
salmon in Alaska.
Soldiers ate so much salmon that they
snapped at every worm they saw.
Governor Richardson of California had
a letter from 9-year-old J. B. Earp, who
applied for a job as office boy during vaca
tion and added, “I expect to run for gover
nor when I get grown." The youngster ap
pears to have a good idea of how to make
a start for his goal, and who knows but that
he may reach it?
The glare of headlights is a menace to
motorists, but the glare of pedestrians is
wholly harmless.

This is the story of one couple that married—and of an
other that flaunted their revolt in the face of convention. A
vital picture you should not miss. The Broadway stage play
of the Love Price.
it is now a powerful film entertainment.
