burdens and responsibilities Of
their time.
Racial, political, and economic
progress have been possible be-
cause men Of vision have been
able to turn their eyes from the
dead level Of doubt to the living
hills of hope. Throughout the
ages Of man, the hills have typi-
fled the power Of personality and
embodied the intensity Of inspira-
ton. The restless souls Of the
great have risen triumphant from
the fogs and mists of human
weakness, reached the heights,
and. like Moses, viewed the prom
Used land.
'The builders Of nations real
lied the psychology of lofty ideals
and fashioned them in concrete
form on the hills where they could
be seen. They were symbols of
religion or government. Their
gublimity was emphasized by their
environment. Whatever progress
the world has made in three thou.
sand years. either in science, in
vention, civil government, or
economic thought, has been due
to this mysterious harmony be-
tween ideals Of the finite mind
and the hills Of the Infinite. The
Psalmist knew. Others know
now"
unto the Hills" is an earnest
and painstaking effort to present
clearly some Of the serious prob
lens confronting us, to recite the
perils, and to suggest the method
of procedure to bring desirable
results. It is an attempt to give
moral and spiritual attributes to
these problems, and to remind all
that some power beyond human
agency must be invoked IL Amer
lea and the modern civilization
America represents are to endure.
Above all, the book is practical,
and 1t is thoroughly American and
patriotic. 1t should go far TO
counteract what appears to the
thoughtful to be a disregard of the
traditions handed down to us and
the heritage Il ID ours to defend
and protect.

taken him around the world.
in and out Of strange places. It
has permitted him views Of re-
markable scenes, interviews with
remarkable people. It has given
him chances Of correcting precon-
ceived opinions many Of us have
held, and not one Of his many
books has done this last 50 well
as Alaska, Our Northern Won
derland." published by Doubleday
Page.
With all the skill Of q trained
traveller, Carpenter knows exactly
what he must see. With all the
ability. OF a veteran reporter. he
knows just how much to say
about his subject. And he proves
his case with excellent photo
graphs.
When he tells you that Juneau,
the capital OF our northern won
derland, has climate comparable
to that Of Baltimore, you know
1t is so. Indeed, he interviews
q bootbIack right from Baltimore
whose chief complaint is not the
snow and cold, but the rain which
makes his business poor one in
that part Of the world.
Few Of his readers, perhaps,
are aware until he proves It, that
Alaska Is so large, that 1t has a
sweep from Savannah. Ca, across
the United States and out into the
ocean several miles beyond Los
Angeles. He offers figures and
map in proof. You can't dispute
them.
Here and there his own person
atty or that Of others enters into
his descriptions. You have not
only a history, but also a pen
picture of the famous Father Dun
can, the missionary, who so modi-
fled the life Of t he Alaska abo-
rhymes. It is the same with Mrs.
Pullen, whose strong red-haired
son was the first West Point cadet
from Alaska. They are made to
live In these pages.
AS for the gazetteer facts and
figures, they are in this book, TOO,
but so changed that they fit right
into the picture. Furthermore,
they are illustrated. Mr.. Carpen-
ter's own daughter Is shown rims
ing out a pan Of gold dust. You
see him standing beside a frozen
halibut.
There are gold mines in Alaska,
we all knew that, but there
are also farms and flowers and
strawberries. The travelling author
cannot say enough OF the glorious
Alaskan Strawberries. He must
like strawberries. Pictures OF
the mines are seen and also pic
lures of the farms and the fish
cries. Alaska is a many-sided

ASHER, PRIZE SLEUTH
OF DRY SQUAD, TO LEAVE

AS result of a conference between
fProhib.tion Commissioner Haynes and
Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania re-
Gently. 1t was fntimated yesterday
that J. A. Asher. the Sherlock Holmes
|of the enforcement group, would
probably be assigned to Pennsylvania
for the next six months, according to
Ralph Z. Ruby, assistant divisional
director of prohibition agents. 1t was
declared that this step was taken in
an effort to stage cleanup in Read
ing, Pittsburgh. Harrisburg. Phila-
delphia. Scranton and Wilkes-Barre,
whence allegedly wide open" anti
prohibition practice information has
reached the ears of enforcement
officials.
1T comes as a hard blow to us In
Washington to lose the services OF

vice squad. which has been co-operat-
ing with the prohibition forces. I'VE
had held faint hope that he might
be assigned here for some time, or
that his transfer might have been
held up, but apparently the publicity
attendant upon his first coup has
made him too well known and practI-
cally useless to Washington"
Asher came here from Louisville.
KY, about three weeks ago. He
worked in disguise on about sixty
tion agents and police staged the
most extensive raiding crusade in the
history of prohibition enforcement in
Washington last week.
In gathering the evidence for these
raids Asher posed at various times as
a jurist from Bourbon county, Ky: as
"A stock promoter for an electric ap-
pliance concern of Schenectady. N. Y.

and the four dogs of Mrs. Mar
garet Howard lost a $4,000 be-
quest, but won maintenance for
life. by an order Of Probate Judge
Henry Horner today. The jurist
refused to admit to probate a pur-
ported copy of later stolen Will,
said to have been executed by Mrs.
Howard.
The case was a confusing one,
and besides the purported missing
will there was one or more in
struments which attorneys sought
to establish, one being unsigned
and unsealed.
Under the purported dog will
Mrs. Tillie Leighton, only heir at
law, would have received only
$500. but under Judge Horner's order
will receive approximately half OF
the estate. Under the same purport-
ed will Rev. Edward Lawson of Alli-

The courts decision was regard
ed as compromise. One of the
four dogs disappeared the night of
Mrs. Howard's death and never has
been found, so that the benetici-

Guards at the District Jail thwarted
an attempted delivery, it was learned
last night, after four prisoners had
pried loose half dozen bricks with
spoons smuggled into the south cell
wing from the dining hall.
The keen eyes of Guards Harry
Dean and Michael Brannigan In max
ing the rounds one night during the
week, noticed that in the southern
most cell of the second tier, every
thing was not quite .lS il shoIld be.
They went In and made an inspection
after seeing a blanket hanging too
: low from Il bunk against the wall.
The blanket covered the plac. :r@n
which the half dozen bricks had been
removed.
Escape Not Possible.
The joke would have been on the
prisoners, because the wall that they
were breaking into was not the outer
wall at all. but division like an air
zap between the outer wall and the
cell tier. The prisoners evidently
thought that by getting the bricks
away they could reach Il roof over

At the present time the airShip
versus the airplane holds the center
of the stage in an animated contro-
versy over their relative merits for
arctic work. 1t is quite possible that
squadron of airplanes will carry
the naval expedition to their goal
in the so-called frozen north. On the

nance over the expedition compared
with which the mere achievement of
polar flight is dw.rfed into insignif-
icanct. ne existence of such a con-
tlnent Is strongly suspected. and by
MANY confidently believed. There is
d variation in the time OF the tides
of the palor seas of more than three
hours, which can be accounted for
only in this manner. More than a mil
lion square miles in area have chal-
lenged the courage, resources and
endurance of Arctic explorers
through more than a century of time,
and this will be the great unknown
which will give up its secrets to the
Naval airmen, who will wing their
way to the Arctic in the coming sum-
mer.
If reasons beyond this be needed for
the venture they may be had in plenty.
In the forthcoming expedition the Navy
may blaze the way for future COM
merciai air routes and so reduce the
distance between continental Europe and
the far east to one-third Of that over
present-day lanes of travel. A glance at
the map is sufficient to demonstrate this
contention. Practically every great cir
Gle course by air from Europe to the
far east leads through the Arctic. and
the great circle distance is to the
navigator by air and by sea what the
straight line is to the mathematician
the shortest distance between two
points.
Exploration of the Arctic by air
holds out another prize in the way
of contribution to scientific knowl-
edge. What is more, it may have a
profound influence on our everyday
lives In the temperate regions of the
earth. 1t is claimed by meteorol-
ogists that our weather conditions in
the northern hemisphere are directly
affected by the air currents in the
upper air strata of the Arctic regions,
and that with a knowledge of these
conditions forecasts of weather could
be made over a period of from ten
days to two weeks. The tremendous
effect that this would have on the
conduct of business and agriculture
cannot be overestimated.
