Failure Dawn to Dusk
 Flight Due to Inefficiency

MACON, Ga. Mar. 2.-The failure of the dawn to dusk flight from the Selfridge Field in Michigan to Miami, Fla, Commander Major Lanphier said "proves the contention of Brigadier General Mitcheel that Americas air defense is inadequate. There are only fifteen planes in the nation today which are equipped for active war ser vice, and only 12 of these have avail able pilots. In fact the air force of America is in Macon tonight. If the air force had been adequate the flight would have been success. Every man in the service supports Mitchell in his fight for better service"

 FOR CLERK HOUSE AND SEN- ATE-TWO MEMBERS ABSENT
Especial to Gateway.)

JUNEAU, Alaska, Mar. 2.-With Senator Hunt of the First division, and Representative Watson of the Fourth division absent, the Seventh biennial session of the Alaska legis-- lature convened at noon today, begin ming it's sixty day session. It was ex- pected that permanent organizations would be perfected in both houses within two days at the latest, and pos sibly today The House organization may be delayed by the absence of Representative Watson, but the Sen ate is not likely to be deferred. Pre- organization talk is most desultory, without definite lineups being settled. Senator Aver of Nome is believed to be the candidate for president of the Senate, if he will accept. He arrived late Sunday night and his position is unknown.
 Charles H. Wilcox, representative from the Third division, a long time resident of Valdez, has been put for ward by the Third division as can didate for speaker, the Paul element supporting H. H. Ross of Fairbanks for that position, and the first test of strength between the irregulars and administration forces will come in the selection of that officer. The members of the Second division are of unknown quality, but if one or two of them supports the regular lineup it seems certain that it will carry out the House lineup.
 If Senator Aver accepts the nomi- nation for presidency of the Senate it is unlikely he will have any seri- ous opposition.
 A lively fight is forecast for secre- tary of the Senate, with Mrs. Della B. chase, Harry Morton, and W. A. Steel contending. Lawrence Kerr of Nome will probably be selected for clerk in the House unless switch occurs and he enters tre race for secretary of the Senate, while Mrs. Chace seeks the House position. Cash Cole is re- ported a candidate or the House clerkship. Watson has been suggest ed for the chairmanship of the Ways

BUYING AT HOME

The old saying, credited to the ne

lar; work million days. make a mil
lion dollars" has more truth in II
than poetry. AS mathematical con-
clusion 1t is correct.
Just that truly can be built up
this good community of ours, Just
as surely as we trade and buy at
home, buying the home town prod
ucts and merchandise, patronizing
the home merchants, just that sure
ly will we work out the problem of
adding to our local resources in ma
terial wealth and stability. It is an
exact science; it can not fail. Just
as surely as we can have have the
gas tank filled here before we start
that trip, instead OF waiting until
we are many miles away, we can ap-
ply this principle to practically all
of our buying. There ie a reciprocity
that never fails to pay dividends
in the supporting of home institu-
tons and local business. There is
a margin of profit that flows back to
US unseen, perhaps, at the time. but
quite perceptible throughout the
months and years-in following the
Golden Rule of community profit
sharing with one another. Let us
spend dollar at home and help
our town dollar's worth" And a.
