ETHICS FOR BOYS
 HOPE OF COUNTRY
To Be Shield and Buckler of Brave Young America in These
 Jazzy Times.

CHICAGO, March 2S-A standard code of ethics for boys of America, who are the 'hope of the world,' is a contribution of the Boy Scout move ment for the solution of present-day problems of youth, today declared James E. West, Chief Boy Scout Elk ecutive of the United States, in open ing meeting of the Scout field di- rectors.
 'In these iazzy times the nation par ticularly is in need of moral leader ship" MT. West said.
 Reports showed steady progress of the Boy Scout movement in every state and territory. The Sea Scouts (auxiliary) are also becoming strong numerically. Recognition of the enormous value" of Scout training in the development of stalwart manhood was shown in the official reports from every section.

MCCONNELL SUGGESTS
 WEEKLY LUNCHEONS AS
 GREAT COMMUNITY AID

A. J. Mcconnell, president of the Alaskatalla Petroleum Company, was asked today what he had on his mind that would in his belief, promote the general welfare He replied that he was heartily in favor of regular weekly luncheon for a large group of business men, at which everyone inter- ested would be welcome, and that this get-together movement should be started this week. He suggested Fri day.
 At these luncheons, MT. Mcconnell said, questions of mutual interest and community importance could be dis cussed with view to subsequent ac- iton by the Chamber of Commerce and other bodies, and the civic spirit thus engendered would iron out the kinks in the community program of achieve ment It would tend to unify the peo- pie as one large and harmonious fam fly. Perhaps out of this would de- velop, he said, a first-class Rotary or Kiwanis Club, thus establishing new connections with progressive men and new facilities of constructive pub licity in every part of America.
 MT. Mcconnell said he hoped some one immediately would take the initia- tive toward arranging the business mems weekly luncheon, beginning Fri day this week, preferably under aus pices of the Chamber of Commerce. Weekly luncheons in the outside cities are a constant source of inspiration for the public good, he said, and men on such occasions are amenable to the spirit of good-fellowship. Friction and jealousy which continually arise everywhere in community life are neu- tralized and remedied at the weekly luncheons Friendships are kept sweet and civic spirit is enlivened.

WONDEROUs FACTS ABOUT
 ALASKA
By p. A. THEliN

A country of constant surprise and wonder-you who have always thought of Alaska as bleak and ice clad and but the home of seals and the producer of gold under the cruelest hardships--listen! It's har- bors on the Pacific Coast are free from ice the year round, its climate is nearly as varied as California Sitka has a more equable climate than Washington, D. C., it's lowest temperature being 31.6 above zero, with mean August temperature or 57 degrees above zero, against that of San Francisco of 58. At Prince William Sound, Alaska, the average winter temperature is 50 degrees above zero, which is the average of New York and Boston. Ice is never found in the harbors whereas New York and Boston are frequently tied up with ice; there are no wind storms, the snow that falls in winter never drifts and only in the Inter- for of Alaska are the winters severe Even as far north as St. Michael north of the Boring Sea the August temperature averages 5S degrees above zero. with a mean winter temperature in February of 2.3 de- grees above zero.
 One may travel two thousand one hundred miles up the Yukon river and find neither ice or snow, but everywhere a luXuriant plant life birds, flowers, and small animals, such as one would find along the up per Mississippi.
 What is the size of Alaska? How few have any conception. It is larg CT than the combined areas of Bel gium, Holland, England, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, England, Scotland and the former German Empire. It has 35,OOO miles of coast line, four times that of the United States or equal to the distance around the world. Alaska covers exactly the same parallels of latitude that the above named countries cover and is influenced by the Japanese current
 Anything that can be grown in Ohio can be grown in the great tracts of Alaska The broad river valleys, cov- ering one-third of the country have no chill nights in summer, and crops therefore grow faster and make up for the shorter summer. There are thirty million acres of fine wood pulp timber, destined to finish the future paper supply of our country and most of this timber lies on the coastal side, with easy water trans portation. Although we know of gold in Alaska, how little we realize that there lies more gold than in California and Colorado; more cop- per than in Montana and Arizona; more coal than in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia It is probably the most heavily mineralized country in the world with only the surface being scratched here and there. Its wond- erful fisheries are faintly familiar to some. There are varied records of over six million seal skins being taken from two small islands about thirteen miles long. The recorded figures probably do not cover one- quarter of the actual killing. No great natinonal asset was ever so ruthlessly squandered.
 The Kenai Peninsula has climate similar to New England-a wonderful combination of sea, land, forest, lake,
