Cordial Reception at Ketchikan.
By the Associated Press


kETCHIkAN, Alaska, July o.
President and Mrs. Harding celebrated
yesterday one of the most memorable
of their thirty-two wedding anniver-
saries, by arriving in Alaska, the first
Chief Executive and first lady of the
land ever TO visit the great northern
territory.
Landing at Metlakahtla, site of the
historic missionary effort of Father
Duncan, known as the apostle of
Alaska" the presidential party spent
three hours. twice as long as had been
intended. The dock was crowded with
people, and the Henderson and Ketch-
ikan bands played patriotic airs. A
long cheer went up when the Presi-
dent stepped down the gangplank.
The presidential party was taken in
automobiles to speakers stand in
the heart of the city, where two or
three thousand people had gathered.
Introduced by Governor.
Gov Scott c. Bone, who, with Dan
Sutherland. delegate to Congress
from Alaska, joined the presidential
party at Metlakahtla, introduced
President Harding. Gov. Bone de-
c1ared the Presidents coming meant

A source Of wonder to the members
of his party. He stated that the fed
eral government was deeply inter
ested in the affairs of the people OF
Alaska and said he did not know
where one could go in the United
States to find better looking group
than that before him.
Secretaries Wallace, Hoover and
Work then were introduced and made
brief addresses.
The women of Ketchikan gave Mrs
Harding a chain and 1ocket made of
gold nuggets.

1t is hoped to enlist the support Of

The proposal, which is on the con-

that they are prepared to take the ini-

However, taking into consideration

Lets get a bald-headed hornets
nest" he suggested. "Daub it with
mud and fetch it down where Brother
Raccoon is sure to pass" This sug-
gestion brought wild cheering and
applause from all Of the frogs. They
clapped their hands, and then all set
out-with Tommy in the lead-to find
a bald headed hornets nest
Hopping and crawling, they came
to fine big nest hanging from a low
bush. While the frogs waited in the
bushes Tommy Turtle crawled up
close TO the nest. and when the hor-
nets came out TO sting him Tommy
folded himself up in his shell. When
the hornets went back in the nest
Tommy plastered the door with clay.
and there they were. per inside.
Then the frogs came out i they
carried the hornets nest down TO
path where Brother Raccoon was sure
TO pass when he came around looking
for tadpoles. Then they took long
stick and poked one end of 1t in the
door of the nest, and the other end
reached to the door of the frogs
house. Then they all went inside
and waited at the windows to see
what was going 10 happen.
Pretty soon here came Brother
Raccoon Looping down the path. look
ing as sassy as June bug. Not
tadpole could he find. Brother Coon
came on. getting nearer and nearer,
and just as he came up to the hor-
nets nest the frogs gave a pull at
the stick, which opened the door of
the nest. and out came the hornets
boiling mad from being penned up.
and the way they went after Brother
Coon was a caution.
They stung him on the head, and
they stung him on the tail. They
stung him on the back, and they
crawled in his ears and stung him
there. They stung him everywhere.
and the harder he ran and the louder
he howled the worse they stung him
And the last the frogs saw of him he
was still running and going strong.
And that was the last time that
Brother Raccoon ever came around
there looking for tadpoles. 1 can tell
you.

A Water Frolic With Stunts.

THIS week the fun maker has
j three. more stunts for young
swimmers to try. Here they are: -
/. Banana eating-One of the best
and easiest of water stunts Is banana
eating. Many vaudeville entertainers
have used it on the stage. All that
Is necessary is that the water be
clear enough so that spectators can
see what is going on beneath the sur
face The performer takes small
or medium sized banana, inhales a
big breath, dives to the bottom of
the pool and starts peeling and eat
ing the banana, exhaling gradually as
he does SO.
1t is simple to do, but to specta-
tors it seems hard just because 1t
Is done under water.
q Porpoise race-There can be
any number of entries in the por-
poise race, and it may be for any
convenient distance not more than
fifty yards. The one requirement Is
that all must swim like porpoises.
In order to do this a swimmer takes
two ordinary strokes, then dives un-
der the surface by throwing his head
and arms down and his feet into the
air. When he comes up, he takes two
more strokes and dives again.

Now teach me how to fly," said the
little fish.
But when the bird opened his
mouth to answer he dropped the
fish. from his bill and she started
falling through the air.

Meet MIR. Pepper
and Miss Salt.

HERE are two old friends. every
i day companions. We take them
so much for granted that most of US
really know very little about them.
We never think about the long jour
ney pepper has to make before it ar
rives on our table, or how important
salt has been in the history of the
world Read below the stories they
tell about themselves.
"A dash of pepper demands the
cook book. and the pepper box de-
scends from the shelf of spices. He
sneezes a cloud of smoke into a
pocket handkerchief and begins a
conversations:
When I first made my debut into
the circle of seasonings I was so
valuable that people paid their rents
with me- Want ads read in those
times For rent. modern thirty room
castle with drawbridge. a thousand
peppercorns per annum" Those days
are gone Now there's scarcely a
kitchen but keeps me in stock.
These highly favored grains that
inhabit my walls are the ground fruit
Of the pepper vine which is found in
Java. Sumatra. Borneo and the West
Indies. The fruit grows much after
the fashion of currants, in clusters,
many clusters to a vine. 1t is not
until the berries have become a red
color with a coating or hull on the
outside that they are picked. Then
they are dried on mat and ground.
The result you see-black pepper
White pepper is harder to pre-
pare. The hulls must be soaked in
limewater for two weeks to remove
them.
Cayenne, or red pepper. you must
not confound with black and white.
1t comes from the city of Cayenne in
Guiana. where it grows on bushy
plants instead of vines"
Common salt" is my name. Every
body knows me. But there was a
time in the history of the world
when I was a luxury of such value
that it is said the Chinese even had
me made into small cakes with the
emperors picture stamped on the
front and used me as money!
You eat salt without realizing how
necessary it is to your diet. Cattle,
you know, must be fed salt occasion
ally and wild animals are known to
find salt spots in the ground where
they may lick up their portion.
The ocean is so full of salt that
the water cannot be used for drink
ing. The reason is that for centuries
the streams and rivers which enter it
have been carrying amounts of salt
washed from the soil. Salt which is
deposited in the ocean does not evap-
crate as does the water
People place ocean brine in great
vats. evaporate the water, and refine
the resulting salt crystals. An even
simpler method is to scoop up the
salt crust which forms after little
ponds along the seashore have dried
up.
