try, the ZR-1, is to be assigned to- make the polar flight.
 Yet if the ZR-1, now nearing completion in its big shed at Lake hurst, N. J., attempts a new trail through unknown skies and meet and conquer conditions never be- fore encountered by airships. Hurri- canes sweeping over the Arctic plains, ice foes that rise at times sixty feet in the air, cataracts of frigid air, the placing of supply stations in the icy waters-these are only some of the problems that must be faced.
 Two courses are open to the ZR-1 either a direct flight from the United States to the Pole or the ablishment of a base as far
 north as practible and the final flight from there.
 At present the only depot for servieing the great dirigible and launching her adequately equipped is at the naval aid station at Lake hurst, where she is scheduled for trial flights some time in July. Assuming that the flight is to be made from the United States. it will start from Lakehurst. There are two routes-one entirely over the water and ice, the other. the straighter, part way over land. Both lead out of New York, follow close ly together toward Greenland and past Cape Columbia, Peary's furth- est North base, and on to the Pole. The water distance is approximately 3,o13 miles, possibly less by airship which would cut straight across many places marked as detours on the all-water route. The overland route is more direct and shorter by approximately TOO miles. The navi- gator of the ZR-1. therfore must base his calculations on making a flight of nearly 5000 miles before reaching the Pole. if the start is made from this country. And, once having arrived, he must have facil- ities of one sort or another for re- turning to shelter-another 5000 miles or so
 If the ZR-1 makes the round trip flight from the United States to the North Pole, she will have eclipsed by approximately 1,50O miles the worlds record for nonstop flying, made by a German Zeppelin in 1917. .......

ISSUE STILL LIVES

The fact that the Foster Literacy Bill failed to pass in the Senate when brought up for final action settles the measure so far as pres ent session of the Territorial legis- lature is concerned, but although the Foster bill was killed, the issue still lives believes the Editor of the Strollers Weekly, and will continue to live until given a place among the Territorial laws.
 Next year and when candidates for the Territorial legislature are announced they will be asked to de- fine and declare their positions on the literacy question Next year and when Delegate Sutherland again seeks reelection he will have to de- clare his position or the literacy question although, while he has thus far remained in the background his position is generally believed to be with the element that would turn the balance Of power over to anil literate board that is dictated 10 by one who claims to be the delegates mouthpiece, which claim the dele gate has not thus far denied or con- tradicted. At any rate in from the least to the greatest of the elective offices in Alaska in 1924, the liter acy question will constitute the issue-bigger, greater and more inn portant than party fealty and party utilization, for, when rhe question of home preservation. the future of Alaska and common responsibility are involved party lines are forgot ten and the better elements stand shoulder to shoulder for the com mon good.
 No, the Foster Literacy Bill, while 1t has taken the count-rather it was draw-in the second skirmish it having been passed by the house-still lives in the hearts of the true defenders of the Territory's interests and will again appear in the legislative arena two years hence and when Alaskan's, true to themselves and to their country's interests, will have seen to 1t the legislature which assemblies will be of the stamp that will gauge vo- ter's qualification by his knowledge of the needs of the country rather than by his avoirdupois, and by, which those who desire to exploit the illiterate vote now estimate his right of franchise. their contention being that if he is big enough, he should vote. Give the illiterate cham pions their way and the voting pre- requisite would be a pair of scales at each polling place

Committee Named to Urge Subscribers

A committee. composed of DR..

ing of the subscribers to the 100000
advertising fund, has completed its
work and is now engaged in raising
the 100000 that is needed 10 make up
the entire fund. ....-
The purpose of the new classified
ton was to place the burden of adj
vertising the city where it should fall.
Some of the larger property owners
were shown by the survey to have
made proportionately small subscrip-
tons to the fund, according to the
committee. These citizens will be
asked TO raise their subscriptions,
and foreign owned concerns will be
urged that it is to their interests to
help in advertising this city where
they are gaining an income.
approximately 40 business men at-
tended the meeting at which the de-
cision was reached to ask certain sub
scribers TO increase their subscriptions
r. o. Huff explained how the money
was being spent and stated that the
advertising program would have to be
materially cut down unless the bal
ance of the fund is raised. Workers
engaged in raising the balance of the
fund have been informed as TO the
plans for spending the. money in order
that they can answer any objections
from those who are being asked 10
raise their subscriptions.
