Saturday night was very quiet one
for Lancaster, at least that is what

crowded as usual on Saturday nights,
and parking space went begging, the
first time this summer.

THE ALASKA COLLEGE

President Bunnell says the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines will have had more than 100 students registered before the end of the present college year. It will be conceded, says the Juneau Empire that this is very small student body for as fine and costly school as the Fairbanks institution. However, there is another and important viewpoint
 Think what it means to the great h. terior country, situated thousands of miles from a college or university. to have such an institution in their midst. Think of what it means to have more than 100 people in that re- zion to have university training and instruction in single year. Think of the influence of such an institution on the lives of all who live in that country. It is an influence that will color the entire Interior, making life there broader and fuller, and it will become larger and more compelling as time progresses.

lots; Great Britain fourth with 763
 planes,, not including new planes, and l 2001 pilots; and Japan is listed as fifth with 600 planes and 40 pilots Yet the Japanese estimate is classed
 as "conservative" because late figures
 are unavailable and undoubtedly it is decidedly conservative" for of late Japan has been building airplanes fe. verishly and it is impossible to be- lieve that it has no more than forty pilots for 500 machines.
 It is estimated that at the end of
 this year France will have 43,0OO men
 in it's air service. At present France is turning out fifty planes a month,
 but this could be increased to 1000
 planes at the end of six months and $500 at the end of the year.
 England has united it's army and navy air forces under one head, effec- tive in 1926, and is building 15O new planes and has 300 balloons in storage. It's 1924 air appropriation was S94,- 245,OOO and it is turning out twenty planes month, with a possibility of 1000 at the end of twelve months.
 Italy, under Mussolini, is building Ia large air fleet as it's first line of defense. Within year it hopes to have 2OOO service planes in readiness. Soviet Russia also has entered the airplane race and is turning out ma. chimes in large numbers. As showing Japan's interest in air navies. it need only be mentioned that two divisions Of the army were recently wiped out to release money for aviation. Japan is said to have placed large orders for airplanes in Germany and Holland. The country expects to have $50 new planes in 1927.
 We need not be alarmed as a nation in observing what other nations are doing nor close our eyes to the inn portance they attach to the new arm of defense service. Our policy should be to maintain proper relation be- tween the various branches of the ser vice, and that calls for adequate pre- paredness in the air.

Nothing so annihilates provincialism as the influence of the higher educa- tional institutions of the country. It gives people taste for and compre- hension of the sciences, philosophy history and the classics in literature. It gives us citizens whose college training will keep them in touch with the best minds of all the ages in all parts of the world. With even 100 students each year in the Fairbanks Colleges the level of the citizenship of the entire Interior country will in short time be raised immensely, just as the level elsewhere has been rais- ed by similar institutions. Tn the course of few years there will be college trained minds in every Interior community, and they will be trained under circumstances which will make them of incalculable benefit to the country in which they live.

WOMEN VOTERS IMPATIENT
 WITH LATE ELECTION VOTES

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Feb. 12.- North Carolina will not have to wait week or more for the results of the next general election, if the women have anything to say about it.
 Through the Legislative Council Of Women Voters, the women of the State are making fight to have the Australian ballot adopted for the state at large by the general assem- bly now in session. A bulletin issued by the council, which is composed of the Federation of Women's Clubs, Parent-Teacher Association, Business and Professional Women, League Of Women Voters and other organiza- tions, sets out the benefits to be gain ed by the Australian ballot and the disadvantages of the present wide. open system in vogue in S3 of the 100 counties of the state.
 At the general election last No- vember there were If ballots and in each polling place in the state, ex- cept where the Australian ballot ;s in use, there were eight ballot boxes. In many instances ballots were not counted, according 10 reports, until Friday or Saturday after the election

YOUNG PEOPLE TOLD TO BEWARE OF PATH
 TROD BY NARCISSUS

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Discourage- ment of what was termed the gladi- atorial spirit, which has been report ed creeping into the British schools, was urged recently by Dr. H. Crich- ton Miller in an address to members of the British Association of Physi- cal Training on the subject of lily giene for Adolescents." Education. alists, he said, sought simplifcation Iof life in generaliza tions, and the physical training expert was liable Ito believe that everybody needed physical training. Dr. Miller, how ever, did not believe this to be uni versally' true, and there were cer- tain youths for whom physical train ing was bad
 Referring to Greek mythology, Dr. Miller spoke of Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection in the waters of spring. There were Mar cissians today who made themselves the object of their own love and who cultivated their own bodies to an ex- tent which was actually dangerous. He challenged the generalizations on which he said many physical cultur- ists based their enthusiasm. Dr. Mil Ter contended that generations hence self confidence among school boys would be based entirely upon the values of intellect and character
 Today the physical animal factor predominated, and consequently great many adolescent boys were go- ing wrong in their character devel- opment owing to their physical make up.
 Dr. Miller advised the association members not to think merely in terms of chest expansion when deal- ing with individual requirements of their pupils, but rather of character.
 We have here in London a sta- dium accommodating 100000 persons which has been used for a boxing match that was all over in 50 sec onds," asserted the speaker. "This

 When Lincoln became of age he joined the Republicans, and went thru the chairs without a stop. His most important action was ordering the South to free the negroes, which they rather reluctantly were compelled to do at later time He then appoint ed a large number of office seekers who invaded the south with a had disposition, a carpet bag and a com pany of cavalry.

NAMES OF THE BLUE.

It is frequently predicted that the next war,"-that hay conflict that everybody but the capitalist hopes will not appear-will be fought in the air. That is only approximately true no doubt, for no war nowadays is fought in a single element or on a sin- gle level. Yet the air will be an i'm portant scene of combat-the air. as we'll as the surface of the land and the sea, and the area beneath the sea.
 Air fighting is destined to be more important to the conclusion of the next war" than it has been in the past; and we know that it was not an inconsiderable factor in the world war. That is why the natives are looking to the skies.
 Our own government is behind the other great powers in it's air defenses and 1t has no greater desire to com pete with them in terms of air units than 1t desires to match armies with the continental powers of Europe. Yet the air service is an important agency of defense as we'll as of combat not a decisive factor, perhaps, but one that must be considered in unified pro- gram.

CRUMBLING SOIL PLAYS TRICKS
 ROME STREETS

ROME, May 27 (R.-Despite the reassuring statements and glib eXpla- nations which have been made by the Roman municipal authorities of an unusual series of street collapses and cave-ins, the fact that six of these disquieting accidents have occurred within the brief space of several weeks is causing considerabl alarm here.
 The first of these accidents was a cave-in which caused large section of the Via Ripetta to fall to a depth of about six feet. The collapse oc- cured in broad daylight, the ground falling away several feet in front of crowded tramway. But the prox- unity of the Via Ripetta to the Fiber River offered the apparent explana- tion that the recent heavy rains and flood condition of the river had caused weakening of the alluvial sub--soil along the river banks.
 Within a fortnight after this col lapse, however, there were five other more or less similar accidents in va- rious parts of the city, some of them far from the river, and the Romans, always ready to inject melodrama in to the simple facts of daily existence, saw in the series the presentation of a new source of terror. The inhabi- tants of southern Italy and Sicily live under the Damocletian sword of the ever-present prospect of telluric dis turbances; would the Romans have to live in contrant dread of the pos sible effects of crumbling subsoil?
 To this question the authorities have hastened to give an emphatic negation, asserting that each accident had special cause and that there was no one underlying cause for all of them. In some places it is explain ed, too much new construction was weakening the subsoil; in others, the rain-Water seepage had caused weak nesSes, while in still others excava. tions for building foundations had un- covered ancient sewage systems.
