Many Uses for Milk

1t is said that in France 10000
quarts of skinned milk day is used
Tor making substitutes for horn, ivory,
amber and such things. The casein in
the milk is precipitated by chemical
process and then mixed with formalin.
This produces galalith, or petrified
milk, a hard, elastic, insoluble sub
stance that is easily worked. The
French dairy experts think that the
demand for skinned milk for this
purpose will be great enough to in
crease profit in the butter-making
business by producing a ready market
for the -products.-Wash Star.

cause the hearers were not bored. The editorial was as follows:
 "Thirty years a gentleman was invited to deliver an address on the subject 'Divorce' before the Ecumenical Conference of the Meth odist church which met at Washington. It was limited to fifteen minutes, and in that body fifteen minutes means exactly quarter of an hour, not half.. When that address was completed it was forty-fiv minutes long, But by two weeks of intensive effort it was reduced to the required time without loss of a single idea in the original production
 ''Recently man wrote an address on 'This Business World for commercial club. He wanted it to require not more than twenty minutes. When finished it took thirty-six minutes. Then he set about condensing it. On the first three pages he cut out 76 words without losing a single idea.
 ''A New York paper is giving amusing in- stances of tautology attributed to a mythical 'Superfluous Sally who is an habitual victim of redudancy We all use more words than are necessary, particularly in extempore speak ing, and many written address could be con- densed thirty per cent and strengthened there by. Business audiences want short talks. The man who uses thirty minutes to express a ten minute set of ideas cannot make good. He rambes, and sooner or later, like the animal in the song, the butcher will cut him down.
 "When talking to business men the speaker should make it brief, cut out every unneces- sary word, avoid repetitions and get it over. Ten words with real punch in them, with sound idea, have more effect than hundred in which the idea is embalmed and the punch lost.'

THE NEED OF MORE HOMES

The housing problem in Cordova is be- coming moro and more acute New arrivals in the town are finding it next to impossible to secure living quarters of any sort apart ments being at a premium and houses literally not to be had One of the surest and best investments that can be made in Cordova today lies in the construction of cottages and apartments of sizes and within the means of the average family. The permanence and business stability of Cordova are absolutely assured There is not another town in Alaska, nor Outside. for that matter, whose future IS as certain and secure as is that of Cordova. Everywhere good times are once more at hand Things are looking up for the Territory in all directions and that from now on there will be steady increase in population and development is as certain as anything can be-. Money invested in homes is one of the surest sources of substantial return and one of the -greatcst advantage to a community. Patro- nizing home industries it also g ives employ ment to local workers and puts into operation an increased spending power. The faith of a people in it's own town cannot be better expressed than in the building of homes for a growing population. .s~s-,>.s. .,v>.,.

the more general reading of newspapers. .
 ''ln his annual report for 1922, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, the brilliant president of Col umbla University, bewails the evils, of journal ism, saying that the spirit and temper of jour nalism are the besetting vice of the present generation. Doctor Butler says that journal ism IS the enemy of constant and continuous interest in any serious subject It elevates superficiality to the plane of an occupation He Is concerned over the influence of Journal ism and it's day-by-dayness on education.
 ''Doctor Butler ayers that the old methods Iof education, the leisurey consideration of subject even the news of the day, are the best. But the reactions O; the human mind have changed with the times. A newspaper reader nowadays quickly sits from the mass of news the things that are not important to him and dismiss them. One reader will reject as trivial that which to another is important in accord Iance with his interest in life, or with his men tai development or education One may put aside that which really is of value to him, but this may be due to lack of ideals or an unde- veloped sense of proportion.
 cit is the newspaper of today, which Doc tor Butle, condemns, that fufills it's place in the human scheme of things with possibly as much contribution to the general good as that great measure of service which Columbia University performs As a rule newspaper readers quickly grasp the significant news, eagerly seek development day by day and re- late them to the affairs of the present.
 ''It may be true that much of the literature of the newspaper is ephemeral. Some of the greatest literature ever produced, however, has first been presented to the public eye in the newspapers. Events crowd so rapidly that these contributions frequently are lost sight of, but their influence and value are better realized through the perspective of time''

Tle great value of the United States Coast Guard Service on this coast is frequently illus trated by some notable accomplishment where by many lives are saved and much privation is prevented. Both in Puget Sound and in Alaska waters are vessels of this service To- cated, ready and on the alert to meet all haz- ards and render valuable aid to vessels and people in distress Juneau is fortunate this Winter in having the cutter Unalaga, Capt. John Boedeker in command, located at this port It frequently makes trips through the waters of the division, and there is feeling of satisfaction and safety upon the part Of the masters of other craft who know that in case of danger or distress the "S o. s. call will meet with a speedy response.
 An instance of efficient service was given couple of weeks ago by the life-saving tug Snohomish, Capt. Hemingway, commander, which performed the almost miraculous rescue in fifty hourse of 1O8 officers and crews of three doomed ships. She first took off thirty three men from the burning steamer Nika. This was followed by the rescue of forty-three from the British steamship Tuscan Prince, shore near Vancouver Island, and later ot thirtv-two men from the wrecked Santa Rita, in the same locality. Such instances, fully prove the wisdom of the department in sta tioning Coast Guard tugs and cutters in north ern waters-,Juneau Capital.

THE LITERACY BILL

There is no question that the Foster Llteracy Bill now before the Territorial Legislature should be passed. A law making it incumbent upon voter that he should be able to read and write the English language and know something, of the Constitution of his country is the least qualification which common sense and a decent concern for the dignity of the electorate should impose. When virtually the only opposition to such law emanates from the habit of using the ignorant mass vote of the Indian to assure the election of certain candidates, the vicousness and impropriety of the proceeding is obvious. It is notorious that the two contests for the election of the Delegate to Congress have hinged upon the legality of the ignorant Indian vote the bal ance of power resting in the hands of those able to mass it in favor of their candidate Such a condition is disgrace to the Alaska electorate and one which presents poor argument ill favor of the self fgovernment for which Alaskans are clamoring. Cleanness in electoral methods and insistence upon an in telligent vote will go a long way toward sub stantatirl' the claims of the people for the right 10 conduct their own affairs. In pass ing the Foster Literacy Bill the Territorial Legislature has an opportunity to go on record in favor of both.

nently practicable thing. When the distance between Cordova and Fairbanks which, under tie best of conditions by land can not be made short of three days, can be compassed through the air in as many hours, there is mighty little argument left in favor of keeping on the ground Where time is money, airplane travel is cheap at the price.
 A move in the right direction, therefore, is that enterprise of a group of Fairbanks men in undertaking to establish an airplane route between Fairbanks and the coast for pleasure and commercial purposes. It is a step toward linking Alaskan towns in closer business re- lations that promises much for the develop ment of the Territory and the advantage of all concerned. Cordova has been asked to provide landing place for the service The town should get behind the move It would appear that thoroughly practicable landing could be made in the vicinity of the ball park If so, Cordova enterprise should not lag be- hind that of its neighbor to the north. The advantages of direct air route between Cordova, the farthest town south on the coast to be thus linked up with the Interior, are obvious. The opportunity should not be neglected.

IS BUSINESS A GAMBLE?

It's a favorite saying of some that any business enterprise is gamble.
 If it is, then advertising is ''gamblers' in surancc.'
 Business is a gamble in exactly the same way that farming is a gamble
 It is taking chances with the future.
 You do that every time you plan family. chances on the weather.
 T]e farmer does the same thing season after season.
 Every auto ride you take is a gamble that no fool driver will crash into you.
 Business is a gamble to those extent, that success depends on whether buyers will take to the goods and service you offer.
 That is a chance. Some small part of the answer depends on economic conditions over which the individual merchant has slight control.
 A bigger part of the answer depends on conditions over which he has complete control.
 Advertising is his surest insurance that people will at least hear his message and have a chance to accept his offerings It minimizes the risk.

VALUE OF THE NEWSPAPER

Louis Wiley recently was called upon to talk at a luncheon of the Brooklyn Advertising Club on the subject of newspapers and he quilted himself so well that we cull few of his remarks for our readers. His address, in part was as follows:
 ''The character of American newspapers and the standard of honor that prevails in their conduct are notably high. Compared with some of the journals of Europe, especially on the Continent, the American press shines with virtue.
 'Tn one European city the venality of part of the press is notorious. When poll tician or a propagandst desires to overturn an administration, or cabinet, build up a new policy or obtain following, it is a practice to buy the editorial columns of one or more newspapers The revenue of these newspapers from advertising is immateral What they make comes largely from the acceptance Of bribes from financial, political or theatrical promoters.
 "Can any one imagine such condition in the United States? American newspaper pub- fishers have high conceptions of their atti tude and responsibility to the public. Editoria1t pages, although sometimes dull, are sincere expressions of the belief of the editors.
 ''In the December North, American Review, John Cotton Dana discusses the effect of social and economic changes unon reading. paylng particular attention to the growth in news paper reading.
 "He said that the newspaper as we know it today is scarcely a generation old. lnven- ticn is creating, almost daily, new devices and methods for making print cheaper, more leg ihle and with better pictorial accompanlments
 "Many more persons than ever before find themselves with time for other things than gaining a livelihood, due to the increase of control over the powers of nature gained by man in recent years, and the development of machinery Much of the leisure which has come with our increased capacity for pro- duction is given to the reading of newspapers:

BY AIR TO FAIRBANKS

Travel by airline is one of the inevitable developments awaiting Alaska. It is bound to come, principally for the reason that it is so badly needed. If there is a country any where in the world that shouts for travel by air. especially in the Summer, it is Alaska. The long distances between towns, the scarcity of good roads and the cost of building them, and the CD ormous handicap of tundra, make getting about by airline the logical and emi-
