retary said total of ga new aids
to navigation were established, in
Guiding 172 lights and 90 gas buoys
by the lighthouse service which on
June 80, 1920, employed 6,0O2 persons
and was charged with the mainten-
ance of aids to navigation along 49,
012 miles of coast line and river chan
mel.
In discussion OF the work OF the
coast and geodetic survey, Mr.. Alex
ander devoted much space to Alaska,
declaring that there had been a well
defined and concentrated effort On a
big business scale to develop the ter
ritory- as tt should be done. He point
ed out that Alaska with its more
than $4,000 miles of detailed coast line
could not be approached without ply
ing the waters that nearly surround
it.
The secretary said that hundreds Of
vessels had been wrecked on the Alas
kan coast, many of them because of
the lack of proper sailing charts and
knowledge of currents and he urged
that the present conditions as regards
to survey work be remeded by means
Of complete survey carried on in
systematic manner with all possible
rapidity.
'"rhe millions of dollars that are
being expended to build the govern
ment owner railroad through the in
terror of Alaska" said Mr.. Alexan-
der, "the large amount of private
capital that has been and will be
spent to develop her mines. to build
up her fishing industry; the certain
early opening of the vast coal fields;
the utilizing of the great timber re-
sources, etc, all this would be wasted
and her vast resources would be
worthless IL vessels could not reach
and enter her ports or visit the rail-
road terminals, canneries and nearest
ports as outlets to the many mines."
Reviewing the work OF the steam
boat inspection service, Mr.. Alexander
disclosed that during the year nearly
9,000,0 900 passengers were carried safe
ly On ships for each passenger lost.
The total of passengers carried was
36S.S70,S27 and only AZ lives lost. The
total number of accidents on ships
resulting in loss of life was 1872 and
the number of lives lost 470, of which
las were from such causes as suicide
and accidental drowning, leaving 325
as fairly chargeable to accidents, col
lislons and founderings.

facts as the time by a certain
watch, any number of four figures,
the amount of money in purse,
etc. After this has been done,
member of the committee takes
fountain pen and paper to the lady
who in moment comes out with
all the articles written on the paper.
1t is done this way.
The boy has in his right pocket a
small pencil and small pad with
several cigarette papers fastened
to it with an elastic band. When
the articles are named off, he has
his hand in his pocket, appearing
to think deeply. In reality he is
writing the things down With his
fingers he rolls this paper in tiny
ball, takes out his pen, and, before
sending it to the lady, tries it ito
see if it writes" AS he puts the
cap back on he slips the paper bail
into it.
Then he sends the pen and blank
paper to the girl The rest is easy,
because of course the girl must be
left alone a moment so that the
Spirits" vii! come to her.

During my fathers visit to Ohio
he made the acquaintance OF a
family who had two pets, parrot
and dog. The dog was taught
TO go 10 the baker and get a pound
of cookies.
A Familiar Statement
All the people would have to say
was, Poodle, go to the baker and
get pound of cookies" The par
rot soon became familiar with this
statement and began saying to
Poodle, Go get pound OF cook
les from the baker"
So Poodle would run to the
baker and get pound of cookies.
The first week the peoples bill
was little more than last. The
next week it was more and the
third it was immense.
The Discovery
The man of the house became
amazed and decided to see the
baker. AS he was dressing to 60
he heard Polly say, Poodle, go get
a pound of cookies from the bak-
er.' The man sat down to watch
the process. Soon the dog re-
turned with the pound OF cookies
and Polly and Poodle sat down
and ate them.
The man then understood where
their cookies went and arranged
it so the two pets no longer en-
joyed such feasts.
