FREEDOM HAS

DUBLIN, March 31.-The Free
slater is gradually beginning TO
realize that the establishment OF
home rule. brought many disadvan-
tages to his country.
He has found out that one OF
these disadvantages is that, there
are precious few Free State con-
suls abroad. and that when he IS
travelling he has to rely upon the
good graces Of the British consuls,
who are in no way obliged to help
him. and inamany cases do not.
Another disadvantage is that the
thousands of Irish boys who an
.sanaIly entered the British civil sery-
70 are now legally, unable to do so,

annually went to England. after

TOKYO, April despite re-
ports of widespread business de-
preston and appeals from the au-
thorities for economy and thrift,
retail business houses Of Tokyo
did q bigger total business during
1924 than in any year since the
war.
Merchants on the Gina, Tokyo's
chief retail shopping street, report
a total business for the year Of
more than 2O0,0O0,O0O yen, or APP
.rroximately 800, 100000 The big
gest income reported by an in
e.vidual firm was a jewelry shop,
with total sales Of more than
5000 900 yen. A firm dealing
chiefly in imported groceries and
fcodstuffs was next, with 100000
yen.
These figures indicate, according
to economists, that the govern
nients efforts to induce the people
TO forego the purchase Of luxuries

ANOTHER DANIEL JUDGES US

Congressman Free, the latest Dan- iel sent to judge us, has returned to Washington, laden with information regarding conditions in the Territory
 According to the Congressman Alas ka is all right, but it needs fixing. It was, firstly, built in the wrong place Had it been constructed a thousand or so miles farther south, it would have been in perfect accordance with our visitors ideas. It is true that MT. Free was with us but few days, but in that time he cleared up many prob lems with which Alaska has wrestled for many years. Among them were how to maintain our fish supply, con- serve our timber while using it, and the salvation of our coal deposits. Ac- cording to the representative these de- posits were also laid down wrong. They should have been on the coast, where transportation is readily avail able. The Alaska railroad project is also all wrong. The road does not start at the right place, ends at point where his better judgment con- demns, and just naturally is of no use to anyone anyhow.
 Alaskans would enjoy the visits of our Congressional committees if they were not so deadly monotonous. The chorus, like a photographic concert, never varies. The criticism runs the gamut from fisheries to railroad, and railroad to mining, and from mining to transportation until we wonder how Alaskans stand the swelling cho- rus and remain calm and sane, year after year Morningside has no ter TOTS to us alongside these junketing trips by our able allies.
 It is all so useless. Alaskans know that God made his first failure in cre- ating Alaska; they know that the rail- road was built in the wrong place by the wrong man at the wrong time of year; they are aware that the fisher. les are failing and that mining has 1allen away to thin trickle of gold each year; they have painfully ac- quired this information by living here Tor what seems century and a haH. but all of these woes are nothing com pared to the yearly panhandlings we receive from our would-be helpers.
 Knowing what we know, is it any wonder we are woefully ignorant of conditions until they are pointed out to us?

Valdez is once more coming into prominence in the mining world, nu- meTous good prospects being develop ed with the assurance that they can be made into paying mines. At one time Valdez was one of the best and largest camps in the division. It went down to almost the vanishing point through no fault of the district, but rather by reason of the apathy of it's citizens, who believed that all things must come to them because of and geographic position. Today they realize their mistake. A live chamber of commerce is bringing the town before the public in a way beneficial to the community. The miner and prospector is busy and the camp will come back

TOXIC NEWSPAPER FOR BLIND
 FIRST OF KIND IN JAPAN

IOklO, Aug, F. (P)-A daily news paper printed in Braille, the first pub llcatlon in Japan for the blind, re- gently has been issued. It consists of two sheets of printed on both sides, giving four printed pages of news for those who cannot see. F. Kimura, a wealthy Japanese philanthropist, is financing the enterprise and the edi- tor is s. Hirohasi.
 AS all the newspapers in Japan are censored, the Tokio police authorities are somewhat embarrassed as to how censorship can be applied to the new publication as it is claimed no one in the police department is familiar with the Braille system.

General Harry Taylor, chief of the Army Engineers, has just concluded a visit to the Territory. He was we'll pleased with conditions as he found them, and assures Alaskans that he will carry out the projects recon. mended by Col. James c. Steese, head of the Alaska Road Commission. It IS good news for Alaskans. Many projects are needed. In fact, if the national war debt were dumped into Alaska 1t would plug but few holes. and provide only portion of the ne. cessary improvements. But the hest part ol the recent visit of General Iayior IS that he sees we need these things and is willing to help us.

What Women Have Done for Radio.

What fan, who dates his interest in
fail to notice the changes that have
taken place in the appearance OF
radio receivers?
The only consideration that mat
tered back in 1921 and 1922 was the
electrical efficiency of the parts and
their ability to do the work they had
been designed to do. Not a thought
was given to the appearance of the
parts of the completed receiver.
Parts and sets were designed with
the thought of efficiency uppermost
in the minds of the designers. Radio
was a plaything for the man of the
house.
Cross words and labyrinth puzzles
are as nothing compared with the
task of tracing out the circuit of one
of these ancient receivers.
Radio Interest Developing.
With the increasing interest in
radio broadcasting, the betterment of
the musical programs and the intro.
duction Of. cooking and other talk
features of interest to women, the
radio receiver passed the workroom
stage and emerged as drawing
room requisite.
The receivers and experimental
models of ye olden time, however. did
not lend themselves to drawing-room
display. All kinds of odd-shaped
parts. mounted roughly on fiat boards
and with wires of various kinds run
ming hither and thither. were not
exactly pleasing to the eye of the
beholder and the mistress Of the
house was the first to realize that
drastic changes were necessary be-
fore the radio receiver could attain
any social recognition on a par with
the phonograph or the piano.
1t was this demand, mostly from
women, that is responsible for the
changed appearance Of radio receivers
and. parts.
In the first place, the old type re-
ceivers, mounted on fiat board, were
too efficient as dust collectors. That
had to be changed, and, to begin
