ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE WORLD NOT ALL BAD. TIh- world is not all bud—not even Chicago. The other day. at about 4 a. m Carl Tronsted, whose name is a token of Scandinavian ancestry, returned from a hard day’s work, most of which was at night, as a driver for a Chicago cab com pany. He was a trusted employee, though youth ful, so he would drive home with his cab and report to the company at the beginning of his next day instead of at the end of his hours of work. His young wife was waiting for him to give hint a late supper before he would retire for his night’s day’s, rather—sleep. She greeted him in the family garage and discovered a pack age on the running board. It was opened and found to contain jewels that were afterward as certained to be worth $25,000. Carl reported early at the cab office the next morning, turning in the gems and the story of their finding. An 1 inquiry from the cab office disclosed that Com mander William Heard if the United States Navy had reported to the police the loss of the jewelry. He was en route to Panama with his wife, and they had been Carl’s fares sometime during the night. Carl refused to take a reward. The whole story—the trusted young cab driver, the home, the waiting wife, the quick return of the jewels, the acceptance of the muxim that virtue is its own best reward—leaves a pleasing taste. It causes one to feel that he would like to become a friend of Carl—and the wife that waited. PEOPLE WONT STAND FOR NASTINESS. Massachusetts papers quoted a statement made by Senator Gillett of Massachusetts in which the solon was said to have compared to the disad vantage of Mrs. Smith the qualifications of the wiveB of the two leading candidates for occu pancy cf the White House. The Springfield X’nion, leading Republican paper of Western Massachusetts, took the Senator to task, and the storm that was created among those of all classes, Republicans as veil as Democrats, was so great that Senator Gillett in a letter to the press denied that he had ever made the complained of com parison or that he had said a word, or entertained a thought, that Mrs. Smith was not well quali fied, culturally, socially or otherwise for the position of mistress of the White House. He said that for a decade she had been the ‘‘First Lady” of New York and that ail reports were that she had graciously and charmingly fulfilled all the requirements of the station, and that her popularity among those of ail strata of society was ample evidence that nothing could be said against her that would not he untruthful. Whether or not Senator Gillett ever made the alleged charges, even In private conver sation, his public statement settled* the contro versy, for at worst it was a complete retraction. The Springfield 1'nion‘s reason for calling down the Senator of its own party was that It wanted to do its part toward “nipping in the bud” a seeming disposition in many quarters to carry on an unthinkable campaign of nastiness against Gov. Smith. It declared that so far as results are concerned that such a campaign could only operate against Mr. Hoover. At least, he said, it would sacrifice the New England Stutes where people are familiar with the records of Gov. and Mrs. Smith, and where they are im mensely popular. THE TUNNEY ANNOUNCEMENTS AND OUR GOOD WISHES. When Tunney announced his retirement It was suspected by many that an engagement an nouncement would soon follow. Several writers guessed it out loud. It has been discovered that thfc bride-to-be is a woman of lurge wealth as well as culture and beauty. It is probable that the wealth of Miss Lauder had no part in winning tile affections of Tunney, but it is possible that it had something to do with his retirement from the prize ring. While Tun ney is rich there is no sign that he would not like to be richer, and to be the active heavyweight champion pugilist of the world is worth several hundred thousand dollars a year even without a half-million-dollar, or better, battle. When one considers Tunney's youth, health, habits and ready reaction to training, it is easy to under stand that the heavyweight championship would be worth several millions of dollars to him during the next five years. That is probably more than he could make in any other way, notwithstanding the flattering offers he has received in both the banking and commercial worlds. However it may all be, the best wishes of the country will accompany ex-lighting Champion Tunney in his tramp through Europe with writ ing Champion Wilder, winner of the Pulitzer prize for the best novel of the year; they will go with him to college in London, Heidelberg and other European cities to which he has dedicated the next few years, and they will abide with him In his marriage to one of America's fairest daughters. The latest system is for a bootlegger who is caught to sell his trade and goodwill to another bootlegger so that he will have enough money when he gets out of jail to buy the goodwill and trade of another bootlegger that has Just been caught. There is always at least one bootlegger to take the place of one that is put in jail. If all those General Motors officials who are becoming active in the Presidential campaign should resign it is possible that the big auto mobile concern might make a deal with Henry or Edsel to look after the business for a time. With a bridge and a tunnel for automobile traffic building between Detroit and Canada the attractions of the automobile capital are getting better and better day by day. Henry Ford sent .John 1).

No finer piece of sportsmanship was ever seen anywhere than that which Tunney exhibited dur ing tile eighth round of tHe fight Thursday night. In that round, it will he recalled. Heeney suddenly developed trouble with his eye. Afterward it was explained that the lid was turned under by a punch from Tunney. But at the moment nobody knew what was the matter with it, least of ull Tunney. All that was known was that in one moment Heeney was fighting hard and in the next moment he was helpless, unable to see, brushing at his eye with his glove. Now, by all traditions of the prize-ring this should have been the signal for Tunney to step in and make the kill. Heeney was absolutely at his mercy and there was no rule that compelled him to give any quarter whatever. But what did he do? He stood and waited until Heeney was able to go on. He did not walk off and make a grand stand play of it; he merely withheld his attack until Heeney resumed the fight of his own accord. Say what you will, this was a magnificent th'ng. If Tunney actually feels that he Is a little above the general run of prize-fighters, as he is said to feel, then he proved that he actually is above them by this piece of sportsmanship. It is also to his credit that he had little appetite for the gory work that he was called upon to do in the final round. The issue had been decided in the tenth round, with Heeney beaten to a pulp and unable to get to his feet. To subject him to further chopping was unseemly, and that Tun ney was squeamish about it shows that he is really a man of tine sensibilities, us he is said to be. All in all, the champion emerged from this fight a much bigger man than he had been thought to be. He proved once more that he is a superb boxer; he proved that he is a lighter; he proved that he is a man. Small-Town Scandal. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Most people who have had experience with small-town life are familiar with one “whose legs are faint with haste to propagate the lie his soul had framed.” And it need not necessarily be a lie—the tale-bearer may carry a true tale, but one which is as deadly as the sting of the rattlesnake. Malicious gossip, perhaps, has been responsible for more of human sorrow and suffering than any other one evil agent in the history of humhn experience. But there is a lot of loose talk indulged in by people in small communities and by neighbor hood groups in cities, which exactly Is not slander, but a sordid and unkindly sort of inter communicatlon which makes for cheapness of character, for impoverishment of soul and is responsible for the dissemination of much hap piness. A writer in the current American Magazine offers a recipe for happiness in the small com munity and it is as worthy of application in the units of a city—which with profit might be fol lowed by many folks whose hearts are as shriv eled as their tongues are sharp. First, one must possess a sense of humor, or make effort to cultivate it. This is a prime essen tial, says the writer. Other requirements for hap piness in town, village or city neighborhood are tolerance, kindliness, human interest, discretion, neighborliness, contentment, magnanimity, mod esty and interest in work. “Bear no grudge if you want to be happy,” says the writer. “Be slow to take offense. Over look much. And when it comes your turn to forgive, be a good forgiver.” All are very commendable and true. The same recipe is to be found in very old books, perhaps not too generally read in these hurried, hectic days, and not likely to be serially reprinted in the American or any other magazine, but which still is available to those who would be happy, In a small town, or elsewhere. Sometimes we suspect that President Conlidge spends a good deal of his time on the Brule River meditating on the wastefulness of this coun try as reflected by payments of money tu Senator Heflin for talking.—-(Buffalo Courier-Express.) If things political rohtinue as they are going now in midsummer, it would not be surprising if along about the end of October—A1 Smith were to be elected President by acclamation.—(Phila delphia Record.) A mildly diverting feature of the situation Is that more than several of the persons who are losing weight and sleep because of "the re ligious issue," haven't any more religion than a hog has earrings.— (Macon, Ga., Telegraph.) Instead of the full dinner pail, we suggest that the full lunch basket for motor tourists is the thing to talk about in this Presidential campaign.— .-TT 1 THE CHAS. W.

I Scientists with Byrd Hope to Map Antarctic Land Not Seen by Man (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is. the tenth of a series on forth, coming expeditions of explora tion into the Antarctic.) By JOHN L. COOLEY (A. P. Science Editor) (Copyright, 192S, Associated Pross' NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—‘Five] scientists are going to Antarctica with the Byrd expedition to make geographical, meteorological, gla clologieal, zoological and other studies in a large area of the lit tle-known soutli polar region. The entire expedition, it might be said, is built arourid these men, for Commander Byrd's chief pur pose is to extend man's knowledge of the ice-ridden land that reach es around the bottom of the world. Antarctica's area is roughly 5. 0(10,000 square miles, of which 4, 600,000 square miles are virtually unexplored. With the aid of the airplane the scientists hope to be able to fly over vast stretches of the conti nental plateau never before seen, thereby making important addi tions tq the map. They will als# use the plane in establishing scien tific stations in the interior. The geologists of the party are L. M. Gould, professor of geolo gy at the University of Michigan, and John O'Brien, assistant, o. Minneapolis. Their theatre of operations will be King Edward VII Land, which they hope to map at least in part, for the first time. They will study the mountain ranges that cross this district, paying particular attention to thi trend of the elevations, their struc tures and their possible relation ship to the Andes of South Ameri ca and the mountains of New Zea land. Gould and O'Brien also will seek specimens of rocks and fossils. If the latter are to be found, they will be of inestimable value in de termining whether life ever exist ted in Antarctica, what the conti nent’s climatic history has been, the chances of a change in cli mate and whether Antarctica was ever connected with South Ameri ca, South Australia and New Zea land. Their instruments are specially designed and adapted for the ex tremely low temperature that will be encountered, even during the summer months. Transportation for the mapping and exploration work will probab ly be provided for the most part by tho'dog sledge. At times the two geologists will be far afield, but they hope to maintain radio communication with the main base on the Ross Sea ice barrier. Ralph F. Sropshire of New York and Frank T. Davies of McGill University are the party’s experts on oceanography, hydrography, magnetism, photomicroscopy, solar radiation, glaciology and the au rora australis, which is the south polar counterpart of the aurora borealis. Shropshire, as oceanographer, •will start work as* soon as the ex pedition steamer Samson sails on her long pull across the southern ocean from Dunedin, New Zealand. He will make a collection of sur face and sub-surface marine life and wilt take soundings with a sonic depth finder, determining not only the depth of the water and character of the ocean bottom, but also the salinity and temperature. Bottles are to be tossed into the sea to point the direction of the ocean currents. Tne plans for the magnetic studies on the continent include at least one trip, either by plane or by sledge, to the south magnet ic pole. Field work in magne tism will be undertaken from as many stations as possible, while a year will be spent in accumulat ing records of magnetic Intensity, horizontal intensity and declina tion. These measurements will be obtained with a magentograph which is to be set up in a non magnetic building at the base camp. Spectroscopic analyses of the aurora australis never have been made, but Shropshire and Davies hope to do important work in this field, correlating their observations with tile magnetic data. Davies, as physicist, will study the structure of the continental ice cap. He also will Rather in formation on the radiation of sky and earth, the radial activity of snow and ice, the auroral pheno mena and the slow movement of glaciers. William C. Haines, the meteorol ogist, has joined the expedition through the cooperation of the United States weather bureau, with which he is connected, and of the National Geographic So-1 ciety. He will make surface ob servations of the air temperatures at the base camp and afield and will study cloud movements, visi-1 bility and upper air conditions. He will send pilot balloons aloft for atmospheric velocity soundings. Meteorographs installed on the airplanes will give him tempera ture soundings of the higher air.

He said he bad been informed by a reporter that he bought a quart of- whis key over the bar of the hotel. The property passed to the Rev. Straton six weeks ago and is used as the Greenwood Rake Christian Assembly headquarters. The Rev. Straton said he had been at the bar of the hotel but thought it was dispensing only soft drinks.

Through all the years from early manhood until his fingers grow stiff- and his eyes dim, a man may study printing and in the end be very far from knowing all there is to know about that fine art. Volumes that might fdl libraries have been written on the subject. Thick trade journals discuss the news and the technique of the business in all its phases. The subject is inexhaustible and steadily progresses. But do you know, every day of the world men go to their printers with INSTRUCTIONS, without once think ing to ask for SUGGESTIONS. We’re not condemning the men? probably it’s the printers’ fault. We’re simply wondering why it is that shrewd business men neglect so rich and obvious an opportunity and do it so frequently. The upshot of it all is that men look at this letterhead and say that this firm is solid and successful and wholly desirable to do business with; then they look at the letter head and say that that firm is cheap and obscure and to be avoided in business. Perhaps in either case the reverse is true! Such is the power of printing. Then what do folks think of you?—folks who know you only by your printed matter. Getting around to concrete facts, we have men in our establishment who know printing as few men do know it. Why not take advantage of the fact? You pay for good printing; why not GET it?
