IRONS of Great Britain, w. B. Maxwell.
q member of the British incorporated
Society of Authors, and writer OF
several novels, said today.
Mr.. Maxwell; with other authors
las come to the United states TO
attend the motion pictures arts con-
yress which will be held next week.
to present his idea of what his coun-
trymen want to see when they go 10
the movies, since nearly all the pic
lures shown there are OF American
manufacture.
So exhaustive has the typical west
ern thriller been on the tear ducts or
the British public that Maxwell said
he thinks a movie audience there
never shall cry again.
I'VE know the far west thriller
by heart" he said. I'VE are get
ting too much of the sloppy, senti-
mental stuff. We have no more tears
for that"
Since he interprets many Of the
films exported to England as un-
desirable portrayals of American life,
Mr.. Maxwell said, he does not believe
the best films have been sent there.
Moving pictures have changed pro-
foundly many things in British life,
he said, and many there are getting
wrong Impressions of the United
States from the movies they see.

BUSINESS IN 1923

The statement of the secretary Of the department of commerce to the effect that the progress of last year has given "a feeling of satisfaction and that there are no serious obsta- cles in sight which should hinder fur ther advances" in the early part ot 1923 coincides in spirit with forecasts for the new year from all responsible organizations in the United States.
 The National Bank of Commerce, New York, has issued conservative yet optimistic statement which is as timely as that of the department of commerce. Both declares that the out look for 1923 is for fairly stable busi- ness. Improvement during the year has been primarily the result of do- mestic demand. Stocks, both of "a" materials and of finished goods in pro cess of reduction throughout 1921 dis appeared so rapidly that during l9ZZ demand had to be met from current production. Despite labor troubles of the worst sort the country passed rap idly from a condition of curtailed out put and widespread unemployment to a downright labor shortage. A tre- mendous construction program has been carried out with consequent ac- tivity in industries producing building materials and accessories. Crops have been good, they have moved 1alriy rapidly. despite car shortage and prices on some agricultural products have improved materially. Wholesale and retail trade are satisfactory.

Meanwhile, however, increases were shown ill the death rate for cancer, au- tomobiie accidents, diphtheria, tphoid, suicide, homicide and fooling with oth- CT mems wives, which might be class ed in the list of suicides.
 Here in Alaska the death rate is less for last year than in previous years, which may be taken as an indication that our population is less or that our people are more healthful. In one respect, Alaska leads the world in a low infant mortality. We know whole camps where not one baby has been i'll this year, much less dying In fact, we know dozens of camps where it would be impossible for a baby to be born as the inhabitants are chiefly males and malamutes.
 Be this as it may we claim without fear of contradiction, that we have the most healthful climate on earth. It is practically impossible for an epidemic to suhsist where snowshoe rabbit would have hard pickings. Also a mi crobe would have hard sledding to bore through the layers of grease and dirt on the Indians, and our white population cannot afford microbes.

SEWARD SCHOOL NOTEs|

The first semester is over Now for the second lap. Let's go.
 Several new courses will be given during the coming semester; among them are: Commercial Geography, a new class in Typing, class in Clas- sics, and Word Study and possibly a class in vacations. Three new Un- derwoods and several good rhythm Vicitrola records have recently been added to the equipment of the com mercial department.
 The balance of the School Victrola Fund is gradually being made use of. Twenty dollars worth of new records were recently purchased, the selection made by both teachers and pupils.
 The basketball league is function ing in good style. In the senior divi- sion a championship game was played off Friday by Team composed of Harry Revell Wm. Estes and Wm. Shelfhorn, opposing team composed of Willis Perry, Walter Blue and Francis Leslie. Team 3 won by a safe margin of to 3.
 The girls volley ball team are be coming quite expert and can beat up" about any team the boys can get.
 The Sth grade on Friday took the history test that MT. Henderson, con- missioner of education sent up. Dur ing the coming semester they will de vote their usual history period to a study of Civics and Current History.
 Speaking of history there are some people who think that the study of an cient and medieval history is unin- teresting and unprofitable. Let such people look over few of these exam ination questions given to this history class of the high school and then give us their opinion. In other words can the average intelligent citizen afford not to know the answers.
 1. 4 person cannot analyze and understand the present with out knowledge of the past. Show how this is true and give a specific sample to prove your point.
 2. A real understanding of history will tend to make us avoid the mis- takes of the past. As president of the U. S., with your present knowledge of history, explain your stand on some

supposed measure that has come up which you think is.a mistake as prov ed by history.
 8. We are living in an industrial world It was not always so. In out line explain:
 (a) How it developed.
 (b) What some of the bad features are that are connected with this de- velopment.
 4. The year 1S4S saw new series of struggles for democracy. Explain how Germany Cor Russia) then laid her foundation of autocracy that fin ally led to the late war.
 5. The Industrial revolution togeth- CT with the rapid spread of democracy gave rise to an advanced form of dem oc-acy which stopped at Socialism in the United States and developed into Communism and Bolshevism in some European countries. On the basis Of your readings in history give your
 
 judgment as to:
 (a) Good points, if any.
 (b) Fallacies concerned
 6. As you compare the world of to- day with that of medieval times you will note that great changes have taken place.. Name specifically some of the bigger changes, and on the ba- sis of these changes tell what further development along the same lines you look fo. to take place in the future.
 In the debate held Friday evening the negative of the question, That all immigra ton should be stopped for period of five years" carried off the honors. Those holding to the affirm atiye were Lavonia Stotko. Wilbur Estes end Clara Manthy; negative Helen Tallasen, Lucille Byrne and Will lis Perry. Judges, Miss Ruth Johnson, Mrs. E. E. Fucker, and MT. D. Il. Tver. The question was handled in an able manner, the debaters showing that considerable study, pro and con- had been indulged in.

ALASKA, THE LAST FRONTIER

From Washington comes the state. ment that the era of cheap land is fo.
 ever gone in the United States. From now on the price of land will be in- creased because of the natural scar city of tillable areas and the increas- ing cost of cultivating land which is tillable The department of agricul- lure reports there are forty million acres of absolutely desert land; 270- 900 900 acres of forest land and 600,- 900 900 acres of land which is semi arid and suitable only for grazing. There is an abundance of land in cut over sections ranging in price from S1O to $50 per acre, but it would cost from s35 to $200 an acre to clear and place the land in readiness for culti- yation. There are 91,00O000 acres of undrained land that can be purchased cheaply but the cost of drainage is al most prohibitive. It is evident from the showing of the department that the frontiers in the United States have vanished, leaving Alaska with the only free land obtainable by homesteading.

ALASKA LOSING ITS BEST ASSET

Alaska is rapidly losing it's last as set. If our weather bureaus do not perk up and exert themselves our eli mate will become so mild it will ener- vate, and school books and geogra- uhies will have to be printed over. The pictures in the physical geogra- phjes showing an Eskimo diving for his igloo with a polar bear nipping at his store of dog feed, will be changed 10 furclad senoritas leaning on an ice covered balcony, while an Alaska Don Juan perpetrates jazz on whalebone doodad.
 Picture postcards will no longer show the village cutup, swathed in surS, starting out of range of the cam era, with sled piled high with empty cracker boxes. Ice worms and glacier borers will become extinct, and we will drop into the class of mediocrity simply because our climate is chang, ing.
 The past year or two the mercury in Seward has had to take calisthen ics to get to the zero mark, and silk hose and furbelows are coming out oi mothballs and showing up beneath feminine parkas and fur caps.
 There is no apparent reason for the change, unless it is because our citi zens get so warm when they think o1 the bureaucratic methods of Washing. ton that they do not need any climate

WAR ON iNsIDIoUs DISEASES

It is comforting to known science is slowly making headway in its fight against some of the most dangerous diseases, notably heart disease, influ- enza pneumonia and tuberculosis. The report of the census bureau for 1921 shows that these diseases exacted far less toll last year than at any time in history.

COST OF EUROPEAN APARTMENTS

The specter of militarism as well as the specter of hunger stalks through Europe side by side. Whether condi- tions beyond human control prevent Europe from reducing armaments, or otherwise, the fact is that stupendous amounts are being expended by almost all nations in maintaining and increas- ing their military establishments against the possibility of future wars.
 The United States senate recently requested the secretary of state to furnish information regarding the rev enues. expenditures and deficits of Flu rope, especially the annual cost of all land armaments. The state depart ment report shows the amount of mill tary expenditures of the several Euro, pean countries in their current bud gets, with the amount of interest they owe the United States, which remains unpaid.
