THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND ALASKA
The Gateway welcomes to Seward John B. Mertie,
Jr., of the United States Geological Survey. It.may safely
say that this organization of government scientists has
actually done more for the development of the Territory
than any other governmental agency. Its members have
penetrated every part of the territory, into its hills and
valleys, have explored portions of it where no white man
had gone before them, and have rendered signal service
to the country. The reports of the investigations in Alaska
by the Survey are of the utmost importance in Alaska’s
literature and are classics in their own sphere. They have
been of the utmost assistance not only to the prospectors
and miners of Alaska, but to nearly every Alaskan travel
er. The members of the Geological Survey will always
find a hearty welcome in every Alaskan home.
THE AVERAGE MAN
The average woman becomes peeved if she sees an
other woman wearing a dress like her dress. But the aver
age man feels uncomfortable if his clothes do not look like
other men’s clothes.
WOMAN’S TRIUMPH
A woman’s hour of triumph is when she finds the
electric light burning in the cellar, just after her husband
has preached a sermon on economy.
NOBODY KNOWS
Whether President Coolidge will be or will not be a
candidate for the Presidency in 1928 nobody, except him
self knows. The prevailing opinion is that he does not
know himself. He is biding his time, observing political
developments quietly and probably will not indicate his
intention for a year and a half at least.
600 PER CENT
Deaths from alcoholism among the 17,000,000 policy
holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. are a com
ment on the behavior of the nation under the prohibition
regime. That they are now 25 per cent more numerous
than in the previous year and have increased 600 per cent
since the first year of prohibition is worth noting.
ON THE AIR
In the United States there are 16,500,000 telephones,
17,000,000 persons have pleasure cars, 16,000,000 have
phonographs and 6,000,000 have radios. R£dio business
this year is expected to reach $600,000,000, a gain of $100,
000,000 over 1925. Until as many homes have radios as
now have phonographs or phones, there is bound to be an
unexploited, unfilled new field in which to sell radio sup
plies and service. Every farm in the nation is a prospect
for radio, for nothing puts the farmer Tn touch with the
markets more quickly.
QUIT THEIR KIDDING
President Coolidge urges Americans in Europe to
show consideration for the French in their financial
plight. He might also have asked them to desist from rau
cous witticisms, or in language they would better under
stand, to quit their kidding. The French do not relish this
form of humor, particularly when it is aimed at that very
delicate subject, the condition of the franc.
TAMPERING WITH JURIES
11 ere is far less tampering with juries in this coun
^eople who lose lawsuits are prone to imagine,
s discharge jury duty impartially and accord
°st judgment. It is no longer necessary to
'ep to a tribunal of justice "in order to
'sive,” as was done in ancient Greece.
Tcv£ood men and true” is, as a rule
~e confiding in one
mother.
NEAR EAST RELIEF
$6,000 OF ALASKA’S QUOTA OF
$10,000 ALREADY IS SUB
SCRIBED
/
In behalf of the Near East Relief
work, W. A. Sell wood, arrived in Sew
ard last evenihg from Anchorage and
the Interior, where he has been devot
ing -the last two weeks in the inter
ests of the organization. Wonderful
success in Alaska has greeted him, he
stated this morning, and thus far
$6,000 in sponsorship and cash have
already been contributed to the Al
aska quota of $10,000. Here in Seward
it is hoped that $1,000 in sponsorship
will be raised. The method of spon
sorship spread over a period of years
and among a group of citizens is car
ried forward each year by extremely
small individual payments.
Mr. Sellwood has two reels with
him of movie pictures of the activities
of the organization, pictures of the
children, and of progress being made.
Today he hopes to complete arrange
ments to publicly explain the work so
in tomorrow’s issue of The Gateway
further announcement will be made
and in greater detail.
