STEAMSHIP COMPANIES LOOK
 FOR A BANNER YEAR

Steamship companies look for bet ter passenger and freight business from Seattle to Alaska in 1922. The opening of the new government rail road from Seward on the ocean to Fairbanks in the interior on the Ia mana, is going to develop considerable tonnage.
 Transportation men connected with the two big steamship companies pre- dict heavy travel north next season. It has been claimed if transportation costs to Interior Alaska could be re- duced it would reopen all low grade gravel mines. This has been accom- plished Wm. Gerig came to Seattle two weeks ago on his mission to se- cure g. through rate. He met with no opposition from the steamship compa- nies who agreed to the through rate. It is about one-third of the old rate, and will give Fairbanks and Nenana an opportunity to do a general jobbing business with other interior sections. Adjustment of rates assures Seattle's future as the natural gateway to Alas ka and Seward as the gateway to the interior.
 we anticipate the doubling of our Alaska business the coming year as compared with this year, said A. F. Haines, vice president and general manager of the Admiral Line "As a result of the revival of salmon prices cannery operations this year it is ex- pected with double those of the pres ent year."

COMMUNICATION
THE MIDDLEBURY BAND TO
RESUME-IF!

Subscription papers are being put IN
TO circulation to see if sufficient money
can be raised to properly re-equip the
Middlebury Band
Some new instruments are needed
and other expenses are to be met Less
than $500 will be required, )lJ thi, is
the sum that should be kept in mind
If the proposal can be carried
through, y concerts will be given in
Middlebury and three in East Middle
bury, as in former years.
The public spirit shown by the band
n-who give their services should
be met by a corresponding disposition
on the part of their fellow townsmen
and this sum be raised within two or
three days from date. These concerts
bring enjoyment to many people and,
were one stone deaf, he should feel re-
paid for a moderate investment i'll the
scheme when he watches the antics Of
the children in the park as the enter
talnment is going on.
Large subscriptions are not nCCeS-
sary. Small amounts from many are
more desirable. And it will be best of
all if contributions can be made with

or small, are put into the hands of
Frank a. Tighter, or of the under
signed, they will reach their proper

RADIO DEVELOPMENT

Considerable interest is being aroused
over the radio telegraph and wireless,
phone as an entertainment feature The
development in the last few years ha,
been remarkable, and at the present
time there are 100000 receiving sta
tions, including those in private homes
throughout the United States,
Right here in Vermont people are
becoming intensely interested and there
is no doubt but that within few
years receiving equipments will be in
every town in the state. Mr. Horn, a
near neighbor in Brandon, has recently
installed an equipment and he and his
friends enjoy concerts, church services,
speeches by famous orators, and the
last minute transactions in the stock
market whenever they feel like "tun-
ing in" for a few minutes diversion.
Over in White River, the energetic
members of the Meadow Brook Trout
club have just equipped for radio
phoning at their coy little quarters
up in the hills. Recently they all
gathered around the novel instrument
and listened in on a band concert
broadcasted from Detroit. A few min
utes later there followed a lecture on
Riggs disease. There is always en-
tertainment enough to suit all tastes
All you have to do is to adjust your
apparatus to tune with the several
broadcasting stations, and the best of
lectures, vaudeville and music is yours,
and you do not have to buy new
records, either.
AS soon as people become acquainted
with the possibilities and the COM
paratively low cost of installing this
wonderful and interesting equipment,
community radio parties will become
one Of the most popular features of en-
tertainment

very appropriate, but no serious injury

Small as is the amount the former

making appropriations.
The REGISTER believes with the
American Legion that the claim of the
former service men stands at the top
of the list of those whose claims should
have priority and it believes that Con
gress should at the earliest possible
moment provide for the adjustment of
the soldiers compensation by the pas

A SERVIC NOT TO BE FOR
GOTTEN

The entire state of Vermont joins the
American Legion in extending greet
ings and the glad hand today to the
visiting officers of that premier organi
cation standing first, last and always
for 100 per cent Americanism
The conference of the Legion in Bur
lington is a significant one. 1t is, with
the possible exception of the state con-
vention, the biggest meeting of the year
for the boys who donned the khaki
Notables, high ranking opponents Of
the ideals of patriotism, are gracing the
occasion. The national commander
Hanford McNfder COL Forbes of the
veterans bureau, II. D. Gushing, man
ager of the American Legion weekly
and many Others are here to help our
own vice commander, Major Jackson
and the officers of the state depart
ment, put over for Vermont a banner
meeting characterized by a touch OF
that spirit which the boys from the
Green Mountain state showed during
the great struggle for liberty.
1t seems particularly fitting that
such a meeting as is going on in Bur
lington should be part Of the year 5
program for Vermont. We must real
ize that the Vermont department leads
all the states in the Union in per cap
tia membership, quite a good sized
honor for this little strip up in the
northeast corner. We hope that the
fight to keep Vermont in the front rank
will be successful and that the stirring
patriotism of today's gathering will fur
nish an effective impetus and encour-
age the boys to still further efforts in
keeping Vermont in her proud and
merited position
The conference has more significance,
however than just meeting to keep
alive the fires of AmeriCanism. There
is the more serious side OF lending aid
and encouragement to veterans dis
abled in their country's service. At
night a big entertainment, staged in
true Legion form, will be given for the
benefit of the disabled soldiers. No
cause could be more worthy and a
packed house will be living testi-
mony to the heroic and disabled sol
diers.
Burlington appreciates the honor of
ntertaining the Legion today The
Burlington Free Press mindful Of the
sacrifices, the devotion and the loyalty
of our boys, speaks in the proper spirit
when it says:
Owe can not do too much to honor
the brave boys in khaki who fought
the battles of the nation in France and
elsewhere They helped to make this
nation free from Old World tyranny as
we'll as the whole world safe for de-
mocracy This service should never be
forgotten"

charge functions been undertaking considerable variety of
vt which may be divided roughly into two main classes First the
activities of the less routine character which have termed
STATED" Continuing activities and second the activities Of highly
technical staff.
There divisions of those activities which have termed
continuing stated activities They have all been placed under the
m direction Of the chief clerk Lewis A. Kabac who has served most
efficiently in the bureau for than thrty-our years,
To provide for definite correlation Of the activities of the tech
and the effectiveness of work by pro-
noting cooperation throughout the bureau seemed advisable to
bring all the activities Of the bureau and especially the technical
staff under the of general advisory body corresponding roughly
to the council of deans similar advisory bodies which colleges
and universities
have therefore, appointed such advisory council composed Of
the heads of the research divisions together with the chief clerk
and have made Dr. W. T. awen chairman, who has been designated
assistant to the commissioner
