New Use for X-Ray.

In Switzerland recently the Roent,

great success for the examination of

re-enforcements or the proper disposi-
ton and situation thereof without de-
stroying the concrete structure are
seIf-evident, rs well as the desirable
ity of being able to make an inspec-

PUTTING Eurlpides in His Place.

That Euripides might be styled n

Is the opinion of DIR. Paul Shorey of
the University Of Chicago, and one of
the best-known professors in the
United States, who spoke recently at
Stanford. 'Euripides dragged the
stately four beat anapestic verse Of
Sophicles down to the level of the fry

doctor. He added that "Whatever Eu-
ripides thought, he had to say and his

Alaskan proqress.

A generation ago men would have
recoiled from the idea that the Klon-
dixie gold fields, even If they existed
would ever be developed. The very
possibility of carrying civilization
into such n country, building cities,
creating industries, operating mines,
would have been doubted. But the
thing has been done; now we are
looking to Alaska as a country that
ere long will not only produce metal
and mineral wealth. but will make
itself agricuIturally self-supporting.
