Same Opportunities
Given to Men.

The government cannot expect
to benefit from the genius and abil-
ity of it's women until It gives then
the same opportunities that II gives
men," declared Mrs. Ethel Parker
Brueggeman. member of tho United
Commission. at a mass meeting Ci
women employees of the Civil Sery-
ice gathered last night at the In
terror Building t. discuss :he re-
classification bill.

said.
Sees Work for Parties.
In discussing the rehabilitation
bill. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton eA-
pressed the opinion that from what
she knew of civil service conditions
she believed that. soone- or later
the political parties would have -
take hold OF the situation.

Democratic National COMMITTEES. has
already taken up the 'cudgel for IN

Magnetic obseryatories are in op. eration at Sitka, Cheltenham. Md, Honolulu, Baldwin. Kansas, and other places. In spite of modern improvements such as the radio direction finder. gyroscrope com pass, wireless time signals, accur- ate chronometers and sextants. the average mariner of today is as much dependent on his magnetic compass, when no landmarks are visible and the sky is cloudy, as was Columbus when he set sail for America. To shape 2 course correctly, he must know the variation of the needle at the place he is at. Every chart is- sued by the Survey shows the vari- atioh for a certain year and the an nual rate of change.
 All the early land surveys in the United States were made with the compass, and in order to retrace the lines of such survey when the corners have disappeared, it is nec- essary to know the change of the needle between the time of the orig inal survey and the resurvey.
 The Survey Bureau has records and data of the annual change in United States since the date of the earliest observations.

into the outlying sections, while on
 it and since coming back, I have
 discussed plans for a great associa-
 ton of men all thru this part of the
 North organized together for the purpose of securing legislative at , tention. and for the conservation of wild life.
 I have found the response so en- | thusiastically in favor of such an idea that plans have now been for mulated whereby we can all get to- gether. organize and proceed to carry on. The field of effort for such an as- sociation is so vast and offers such
 mighty opportunities to do good that could not hope to cover it within the confines of a newspaper column. or a whole newspaper itself -or several of them. But a few
 of the big issue confronting us at the very moment of our conception are:
 Do you know that Pilgrim River and salmon Lake are in . fair way to becoming absolutely depopulated of fish from the use of fish traps and the wholesale seining carried on? Do. you know that the Tundra Hawk" or Jaeger is actually pro- tected?
 Howw do you like the present Fur Tax Law?
 What do you think of . bounty on the Snowy Owl? {. Do you want an Earlier Opening Season on migratory wildfowi? Do you know that thousands of Geese and Duck eggs are eaten each year by the Natives? Do you like that? -.i4r.,' 4, 4 Is not the big Arctic Hare entitled to some protection during the breed- ing season?
 -and many others prob ably. we'll known to yOtl all. Anyway, we plan to have out standing corresponding members in every part of Seward Peninsula and northward into the Arctic. Z These members will keep us informed of conditions in their section and when matters arise necessitating atten- tion we will see that this attention is had thru the organization. In Congressional matters, bills pending. under discussion. etc., the association should be the voice, and organ of the people, Besides nak- , ing good laws you can prevent poor ones being thrust upon you. Meeting reports and progress will be printed in. the. Nugget and very likely . hplletin-. will be issued per iedically. and mailed to members. in addition to the regular meetings there will be specials when urgent matters come to attention. In conciudipg. let me say that the foregoing matter Is called to your l attention merely as an incentive to suggestion on your part-a wedge to open up line of thought with you which may prove big help in the solution of . serious and grow ing problem; that of perpetusting the wild life of Alaska. the last
 great stronghold of Americas /, game.
 If you believe in this effort of ours, then come around and join in
 the good work. If you don't. then
 come around and convince the rest
 of us that we are wasting our time
 on 8 useless. valueless matter. q

WORK OF THE U. $. COAST AND GEODETIC
 SURVEY IN AlASK|

Captai J. G. Watkins. hydrogra- phic engineer of the U. s. Coast & Geodetic Survey, who spent the summer of 1929 in Northwestern Alaska taking observations for lati- tude, longitude, azimuth and mag netic variation and intensity at great number of stations from St. Michael to Demarcation Point, has forwarded to John A. Wilson ex- fensive data of the observations taken. Capt. Watkins was a tire less worker, covering large terri tory in short time. A new mon Iment was set close to 9th Ave. W. and c street. it's position being ia Lat. 64-30-13 N. Long. 165-2s-5s W. (11h. i'm. 36 sec. slower than Greenwich.) with mean magnetic variation of the needle of IS deg. s3 min. eash
 Among other stations determined are St. Michael. Lat. 63-2S-5S N. Long. 162-0O-41 w.. variation 20 deg. AZ min. east.
 Teller, Lat. 65-15-57 N, Long. 166-21-21 w, variation IS deg. 56 min. east.
 Point Barrow. Lat. 71-1S-40 N, Long. 156-50-42 w., variation 22 deg. 46 min. east.
 The Coast and Geodetic Survey is carrying on work of the greatest practical value not only to naviga- tcrs. but to engineers and scientists. In it's scope of work Is included the charting of the coast. bays and rivers, issuing Coast Pilot guides and marine charts. deep sea sound ing, prediction of tides and tidal data, terrestrial magnetism. geo. desy, seismology, precise leveling. triangulation surveys. oceanogra- phy. I'd. The most exact and refined meth ods are in use by the c. & G. s. Time Is determined to 0.02 part of a second, latitude to 10 feet. longi- trde to O.3 second of arc Ga dis tsnce of 30 it. at the equator,) aaimuth (the direction of a line)' to inch in 10 miles. The tide predicting machine in use. designed ard built bv men in the service. is a marvel of ingenuity. After hav- ing been adjusted for particular port, the turning of 2 crank moyes . system of hands over dials which show accurately the time of high and low water, the height of the, tide at any time, and traces a curve. of the tide for each day of the year for that particular port, Tidai, rhenomeua are of very complex na- ture and predictions cannot be bas- ed on theory alone. but must De supplemented by actual obseryf- lions of the tides for a certain Rer-l iod of time. To compute predic- tions requires a great deal Of time eud the results are not as accurate as those turned out by the tide pre- dieting machine. a'
 The magnetic survey undertaken ty the c. & G. S. is of great aid to the surveyor and the navigator. The needle of the compass points true north only in few places and it's variation, or the angle the needle makes with the true north. is con- stantly changing. At Nome easter- ly variation is decreasing about one degree ip 15 years.
