A TIMELY SUGGESTION
The suggestion of Dr. Hrdlicka that pros
pectors, miners and all others who dig in the
soil in Alaska should be on the lookout for
fossils of all description and should pre
serve anything found about which they are
uncertain, for examination by scientists, is
timely. If that advice had been given cen
turies ago to people of other regions and
followed strictly a great deal more would
be known about prehistoric conditions than
is now available. The development of Alas
ka has just begun, and if this Territory was,
as it is believed to be, the first section of the
American continent inhabited by man, there
must be abundant evidence of life in the
ages that have passed buried beneath the
surface. To add to the sum of human know- j
ledge concerning the journey of the race
through the periods before people began to
make records is worthy oi- the best efforts
of everybody.
There should be the most complete co-op
eration between all the people of the North
and Dr. Hrdlicka and the scientists who will I
carry on the work that he is beginning in
Alaska. If the theory that the first people j
to live on the American continent landed
here first and then spread out toward the
South, there should be interesting discover
ies in this Territory as its development pro
ceeds. It is very desireable that the loss of
so much evidence of prehistoric conditions
thru carelessness or ignorance such as
characterized other sections of the world
shall not be repeated here. —Juneau Em

AERIAL PULLMANS
Anthony H. G. Fokker is now building an
air ‘‘sleeper’' capable of accommodating!
from 35 to 40 passengers, the giant plane
being designed for flying in the United
States. The aerial pullman, not a rarity
in Europe, is virtually unknown in this
country. The Fokker “sleeper’' may there
fore prove an awakening for commercial
aviation on this side of the Atlantic.
In a recent proclamation General Pilsud
ski told the Polish Army: “If you can not
love me, at least you will have to respect
me.” Which recalls the famed remark of
an American sergeant to a squad of re
cruits: “All I want out of you guys is res
pect, and damned little of that.”
Nature-fakers have flourished from time
immemorial, but few have surpassed the
author of a book on birds, published in Lon
don in 1703, who solemnly declared that
birds migrated to the moon during winter,
returning in the spring. He estimated that
the trip took sixty days.
According to a press dispatch, a number
of New Castle, Del., citizens have purchased
caskets on the installment plan and will “use
them as chests’’ until they are needed for
permanent occupancy. The owners would
hardly refer to them as hope chests.
All men are born equal, at least so far as ,
clothes are concerned.
Hurrah!
