Alaska Atmosphere Puts
 Pep Into Hawaiian Soldier

A few months ago Geo. E. Stege- man was riding surf boards on the beach at Waikiki, H. I. Within few weeks he will be riding behind a dog team. The gentleman mentioned, a corporal, arrived in Seward last week on the steamship Alameda in charge of five other soldiers who left yester- day for the Anchorage army post.
 The change from the balmy cline of Hawaii to the sun-kissed snows of Alaska's banana belt is quite a novelty for the young soldier, who as yet, has felt no ilI effects from the change, but on the other hand seems rejuvenated with energy. This was demonstrated at the various athletic games he and the other chaps indulged in while awaiting the departure of the train for the Interior
 The other soldiers in the party were Jack T. Brighton from Washington, D. C.; Garland Funk from Missouri: Frank Getson from Illinois; Wm. To- malla from Minnesota. Stegeman is from Milwaukee, the town made fa- nous by it's most important product

FOX FILM MAN
 DEPARTS FOR POINT BARROW
MERL LA VOY BEGINS LONG TRIP TO WITHIN SHADOW OF
 THE NORTH POLE

Merl La Voy, photographing Alaska for the Fox Film Corporation of New York City, who has been making Sew ard his headquarters for several months past, departed yesterday aft ernoon for Nenana en route to Point Barrow. MT. La Voy plans reaching Barrow via Panama, Alatna, the Kobuk, Kotzebue Sound and Point Hope. Tn the vicinity of Point Barrow he will film numerous scenes for an Alaska drama of the old whaling days. This will include scenes of the natives hunting polar bears and walrus, and series of special scenes for the Alaska feature film which the big movie company is now engaged upon.
 It is stated this trip, including relays over the worst part of the trails, will be over 200O miles long, and will be made by dog team. It is believed to be one of the longest and hardest trips ever undertaken to secure local color for feature drama. MT. La Voy plans returning to Nome! from Barrow next August. From Nome he will head down the coast to Seward, pick up the remainder of his equipment now in storage and proceed direct to Los Angeles.
 He has received instructions from the New York office to take out his dog team and also costumes from the natives filmed in the scenes. The dog team and costumes will be used in the California studios in complet- ing the feature drama which, accord ing to MT. La Voy, promises to be di. rector John Ford's masterpiece.

SALARIES PAID FED. EMPLOYES
 INSUFFICIENT
LOWER RETIREMENT AGE AND HIGHER MINUTES FOR
 EMPLOYES ASKED

James J. Davis, the Secretary of Labor, in recommendations submitted to Congress at the opening of this ses- sion calls attention to the necessity of the passage of a more liberal retire ment law for civil federal employees. 'The present law" states the Secre- tary which allows maximum of only S60 per month to those who reach the age of 70 years and have served 30 years in the service, it is agreed by everyone is entirely inadequate. The amount is not sufficient to pay for the bare necessities of life for a man and his wife, even though he have no other dependents.'
 The salaries paid to Government workers are seldom sufficient to per- init them to put anything away for the proverbial rainy day, and when they to the Government it is unfair to cast them out on such a pittance. The gov erument has not yet been called upon to contribute nickel to the retire. ment fund and the amount subtracted ly will be sufficient to pay annuities from the wages of the employees month to years to come. believe that the amended bill for retirement that failed to pass the last session of Congress should be reintroduced and enacted with the provision for voluntary re- tirement after 30 years of service for those who have reached the age of 50 years and should provide for an annuity of $100 month";
