Urges Surveys of Alaskan Waters
(Seattle Timesl


 Pointing that the development of Alaska has far outsctrpped the progress of coast and geodetic surveys due to the small number of vessels avail able for that work Dr. E. Lester Jones' super1n- Survey has filed his annual report with the De- partment of Commerce. The text of the report was received recently It the fiscal year ending June 30, last.
 "In order to appreciate the need of rapidly ex tending the surveys these waters says Dr. Jones in speaking of Alaska, it should be clearly under stood that Aaskas only connection with the rest or the world is by water routes. The amount or the natural Alaska ripe for exploitation has been great and the prize they offered so tempt that transportation could not wait for the gov finding its own path in fields suffering great losses in doing but content to suffer them be- cause the returns immensely great.
 Dr. Jones lays emphasis on the extreme need TOT completing the wire drag work of the survey in Southeastern Alaskan waters. The wire dragging Of the main steamship routes has been completed 55 per cent he says and time should be lost in do- ing the rest of the work.
 The report makes strong appeal TOT better IT. nancial support for the survey service.
 Few realize the sacrifice a of ability is making the present time by remaining in the Coast md Geodetic Survey said Dr. Jones. Before this country entered the conditions had grown to a serious stage and since the signing of the armstice steady dsintegration has gone and the situation employees is declining principally under the stress of present economic conditions. Unless proper re- lief is forthcoming at and the present salaries Ire materially advanced this important branch of the Federal Government, which has so much to do with the protecting of human lives, will, in meas ure at least, be stripped of its best brains
 In the report 1t is shown that while the service has considerable number of surveying vessels, due certain vessels used patrol boats by the navy turing the having been turned over to the Coast md Geodeic Survey, yet these vessels were not de- signed for surveying duties, and there is loss Of efficiency in using vessel for survey work that Is suited for such duties.

Luke McLuke Says

There never was a case in which she was delft to flattery.
 You think that you are pretty nice fellow, don't you? We'll, the betting if that if you ever had to as sociate with any one precisely like yourself you would want to swat him.
 You can't make woman believe it. But the photographer is the only beauty doctor who can remove wrin- kles and blemishes.
 We know at least one woman who band insists on calling his second wife by his first wife's name.
 One way to get popular and remain popular is to make a habit of getting people to believe that they know more than you do.
 When a man quits working he can't resist the temptation to go and poster those who haven't quit.
 Don't feel cheap just because you discover that you have been sold uc Illllt lO lccI CuCdp iS WhCu you have to admit to yourself that you have been bought.
 Many a man imagines that he is strong minded when there is nothing strong about him except his breath.
 He doesn't realize it. But the luck fest man on earth is the fellow who has a wife who really likes him.
