Dead in Michigan

LOTTERIES.

Fifty million dollars year are lost
by American investors in lotteries.
Every sucker is lured OF by the hope
of a big winning. "a dollar doesn't
mean much to me-" he thinks, "and
$4,000 would"
Assuming lotteries are honest
which you can't-the investor is al
most always the loser.
The most generous" lotteries give
only IS per cent of receipts in prizes.
Assuming Mr.. Sucker invests a dol
lar a week for 20 years, he will have
spent S1O4o. The law of averages,
which cannot be beaten in the long
run, dictates that he will have received
back little more than $3.50 in prizes.
The same amount of money invested
in a savings account will bring back
more than $1100. And that much will
buy approximately $1,000 in insurance.

A mathematician estimates that II
the government succeeds in collecting

against Senator Conzens, it will mean
a saving Of an average of 10 cents an
Individual in future income taxes.
Most of US would be inclined to

 tract to freight basis curtaiIing

 (Signed) GARFIELD.
 Several of our citizens and busi- ness men spoke to Delegate Suther- land about this matter during his re- cent stay in Seward, and MT. Suth- erland was satisfied that the rumor was in error as he was in no way consulted in the matter. It seems like a near-sighted policy on the part of the Postmaster General to such a policy without giv- ing residents of Alaska even the op- portunity of anticipating such a move. The service rendered here tofore, in sending mail by freight, resulted in much inconvenience to residents of the Territory, and it was I fering of mail and the losses to the Government thru such thievery, prov ed that type of service to be with out economy.
 Every Business House and Citizen of Seward should wire the Postmas ter General immediately, protesting any interference with the present service.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Short t-wave- length wireless teleg-
raphy is now attracting the attention
of the whole scientific world. Signor
Marconi has announced that he ex-
poets to attain startling results In
the near future. The French govern
ment also is studying the question in
connection with the Eiffel tower sta
ttOn. The French government has
loaned apparatus to the jacques Car
tier, a French line cargo carrier, with
which the ships messages have been
transmitted direct from San Francisco
to Eiffel tower on a 115-meter wave
band. Vice versa, the ship has been
able to receive Eiffel Tower signals
sent out on 115 meters with a 400
transmitter similar to the one loaned
the Jacques Cartier, the receiving
auparatus in both cases consisting or
a one-tube outfit.
Utilization of the short wave length
opens an entirely new field to the
development of wireless communica-
tion. AS matter of fact the Jacques
Cartier uses her 400-watt station to
forward directly to Paris weather
messages received from Alaska japan
and Russia. This saves considerable
time and enables the Paris weather
bureau to have in a few hours suf-
ficient elements to draw an accurate
weather chart for all of the northern
hemisphere.
The Paris weather bureau and the
Jacques Cartier work in close CO.
operation with the United States
weather bureau and with Maj. E. H.
Bowie, a pioneer in that branch, who
has contributed valuable informa-
tion on the subject. Capt. Marcel
Coyecque is in charge of the bureau
aboard the cargo carrier, and A. NJ.
Robert is the wireless chief.

NEW YORK, January IA radio
set, to be used as an additional
means of communication between po-
lice headquarters and the various po-
lice stations throughout Greater New
York, was successfully tested yester-
day.
1t is proposed to put on the air
from WNYC, the municipal broadcast
ing station, reports of major acci-
dents and automobile thefts, includ-
ing In the accident cases the names
of those persons killed or injured
This, city officials believe, will pre-
vent the jamming of the regular po-
lice telephone system by the great
number of inquiries coming into
headquarters after such accidents
The general public may listen In,
or go to nearby police stations for
information, thus leaving the regu-
lar telephone wires open for the
transaction of routine business.
In the case OF automobile thefts, on
other matters in which speed Is the
prime requisite in apprehendins
criminals, the various precincts would
be notified from headquarters by code.
For such emergencies, the regular
program from WNYC would be IN
terrupted, to be resumed later.
