BRINGING SANTA UP TO DATE
Modern Child Considered Him Much
Too Old to BE hiding Around
In an AlrpIane.

Story hour In the Prospect branch
library is an important occasion for
the many youngsters Of the nelghbor-
hood. AS 1t was Christmas week, the
usual yuletlde stories were being told
to the eagar group. Santa, as is the
custom, was described to whlrl
through the sky and even past the
handle of the dipper with his sleigh
and RENDERS.
One little precocious miss doubted
his means of travel very much and
didn't hesitate to criticize. Santa
uses an airplane now" was the more
modern version. ST. Nick seems to be
taken for granted. but a Querulous
youngster asked: How old is Santa?
He brought my mother toys and things
when she was a little girl, so he
must be an old man now, and too
old to ride In an airplane. Indian

It was little Ethel's first visit to
the post exchange. Her father, a
marine corps captain, had dropped in
to buy some necessary articles and
had taken along his five-year-old
daughter for company.
The buslnesslike private drew a
pencil from behind his ear, jotted
down the sum total Of the captains
purchases, wrapped up the articles
In a parcel, gave the captain his
change, and proceeded to straIghten
up his temporarily dlsordered stock.
Little Ethel watched the brisk move
ments of the post exchange clerk with
the keenest interest, but said nothing
until her father was ready to leave.
Then she clutched at his coat sleeve
and asked, Just loud enough for the
embarrassed private to hear:
Say, daddy, is he merchant

was Minister Labor for a while in the Coalition

signed and became leader in his political party
the Liberal and chosen it's leader in a conven

AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.

Delegate Sutherland's bill increasing the limit OF
the cost of the public building at Juneau from $780,,
600 to $500, 900 unfortunate mistake Com
petent authority held after investigation, that the
preparation should be increased $3.50 ,00O-makng it
$550,000 in all. That the estimate of the Super
visng Architect of the Treasury Department about
six years ago. Nearly six years ago then Delegate
Wckersham secured the approval of the House Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds to addi-
tiona appropriation of $500 900. And buildings cost
less to erect six years ago than The lowest
estimate Governor Bone has placed the needs of
the situation has additional appropriation of
$3.50 900 And in making that estimate the Governor
took into account the Treasury stringency and the
disposition of Congress to hold down expenses
When Alaska again asks for the additional ap-
preparation of 100000, it stood in the General
Public Buildings Bill for years, Congressman
Delegate from Alaska asked for only 100000 ad-
ditional.
OF course three hundred-housand-do dollar build
ing would be better than building, but it would be
very unfortunate if building erected and
thing, and architectural beauty should be
taken into account in it's building
OF course the mistake is that may not be
irreparable The fact that the Governor the Super
vising Architect the Treasury Department the
House Committee Public Buildings and Grounds
have all agreed that should have ought
to be conclusive when the present committees con-
slider the matter.
No doubt Mr.. Sutherland's bill inspired by
the thought that it would be easier to get 100000
additional than it would be to get the larger but
under the circumstances, it would at this dis
lance that such would not be the case.

"LURE OF THE WEST"

The lure of the West" and that only, is what
brought former Secretary of the Treasury William
McAdoo from New York to California, according to
statement he made. He declared that the moving
picture business had nothing to do with his decision
and that there is "emphatically, politics in it.
I'VE fell in love with California" said Mr. McAdoo
to the New York World. He added:
During the past seven years Mrs McAdoo
and l have spent vacations, whenever.
possible, in the West. Our frequent visits
there have given wide acquaintance
with its delightful people, and notwithstand-
ing our love of the East and of our friends
here, we find ourselves obliged to surrender
10 the irresistible lure of Western life.
So we have decided to carry out an idea
we have entertained since we spent the
winter of 1919 in California. following my
resignation as Secretary of the Treasury, and
make our home in Los Angeles. I intend to
practice law there, but l shall in the nature
of things New York frequently
IL is the lure of the West" that caused California
with population of 1890 900 in 1910 to gain more
inhabitants during the ten years that followed than
new YORK gained in the same period with 9,100,0 900
10 start with Hundreds of thousands of Atlantic
coasters have preceded Mr. McAdoo to the Pacific
coast in recent years and other hundreds of thou
sands Will follow him. and it is all due to the lure
of the West"
And why this "lure of the West?" First of all
perhaps, the western shore climate climate tenn
pered by the breezes that come from the ocean

'here Is the freshness, the opportunity to develop
ana grow in country that is new and filled with
enterprsing people who welcome the freedom of the

which in the centuries of long ago lured people from
the East and Near East to Spain France England
ana other countries on the west shore Europe It
is the same old lure which gave foundation to West
