~ VERLAND'S entry into the six-cyGnder field is
I J evenful and bound to have marked influence
~ in the future specifications of those cars whose
prices bring them into comparison with the new Over
land Six. For Overland has introduced progress that
must in time to come spur others to make defensive
moves toward similar progress.
In lieu of the conventional metal timing gears common
to of this class, the new Overland Six has mod
en fabric timing gear, silent and permanently smooth.
Instead of ordinary cast iron pstons, commonly used
in the cars Of its price division, the Overland Six has
pistons Of de-cas aluminium better fitting,
more efficient conforming to the piston standards
carried out in very expensive cars
The new Overland Six has force-feed lubricaion an
advanced patented multiple clutch fine alloy steel
gears in the transmission speia universal joint that
requires adjustment springs of chrome vanadium
steel "a cellular-type radiator. ~
This Fine Car is replee with advantage upon advant-
ge througho every phase of its engineering.

Photographer with Polar Party Lived Wainwright
 For Two Years Steady

Earl Rossman, photographer with the North Pole exploration party, which will arrive in Seward tomorrow morning on the steamship Northwest ern is far from being a cheehako. He was located at Wainwright, about 95 miles south of Point Barrow, for two years and while there was engaged in taking films of the midnight sun, the life of the Eskimo, and in general photographing Arctic scenes for an Alaskan story.
 The film, "Kivalina of the North was being exhibited at the Pantages theatre in Seattle two weeks ago, hav- ing been but recently released, ac- cording to arrivals in Seward. The picture was beauty, it was said, and was making a tremendous hit, being a true portrayal of life above the Arc tic Circle. Kivalina is an Eskimo word; translated to the English lan- guage it means the equivalent of a town, hamlet or community. The film work was completed but last spring by MT. Rossman. The photographer is also very we'll known in south. eastern Alaska where he has procured many pictures.

PILES OF OYSTER SHELLS
 CRITERION OF BUSINESS

NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (P)-Man- made mountains are changing the landscape in a dozen shore villages of eastern Long Island. Places that last year were smooth stretches of w1nd-swept beach are now synthetic hills.
 Despite the fact that the mounds are neither artistic nor ultitarian in themselves, community pride of each hamlet appears to be in direct pro- portion to the size of the local noun tain since the size of the heap mea- sures the towns prosperity. So close ly IS the attitude of these mounds 1kened with good times that Long Islanders have come to speak of their piles of oyster shells as financial or naments."

THE MONTH OF JUNE

So here is ushered in June-the month of brides and bridegrooms, and, from reports flickering aimlessly about for weeks past, three well known young couples will enter the bonds ot holy matrimony. So therefore, it is not proper at this time, to call their attention to one little item which they might overlook along with all of thei1 other plans-wedding invitations? 4 word to the wise is sufficient-The Gateway has a remarkably handsome assortment. Like newIyweds, we al ways plan for the future.

AKUTAN TEACHER IS
 FREE IN HER PRAISE
 OF STARR PERSONNEL
(By KATHERINE c. KANE)

(By KATHERINE c. kANE)
 On the morning of May 23, at 43O a. m., the welcome sound of the three long blasts aroused the peaceful and sleeping village of Akutan, and once more we are aboard the good ship Rock-a-By-Ship Starr, bound for civili- zation and home. The Boring sea and North Pacific ocean were on their good behavior for once in lifetime as if to cajole our good and able com mander into believing that all previ- ous storms were just mere imagina- tions.
 We are safe in saying that no other navigator except Captain Johansen could sail in, about and around the many uncharted rocks and reefs that are hidden in these northern waters and bring his good ship, crew and passengers safely into port without the least mishap. sJudging from the expressions of praise and apprecia- ton from the many passengers, this was the most enjoyable trip of all, ow- ing to fact of perfect safety and cour- tesy and interest extended by the en- tire crew, and to them we heartily extend a vote of thanks and apprecia- tion.
 From Nushagak we have on board, Mrs. Wauiser, teacher from Clarks Point en route to Seattle From Atka bound for Seattle are MT. and Mrs. c. R. Gardner of the Bureau of Educa- ton and who are in charge of the Co., operation Store and school at that place MT and Mrs Nels Drugge of Unalaska and late of the Jesse Lee Home to make their home in Seward Rev. Kasheveroff of St. PauI's Island to visit his brother the Venerable Fla ther Kasheveroff, curator of the Nu- scum of Juneau. Father Nicolai Kash- everoff from Uuga to Kodiak and Rev. Gerarin Schwalz for Afognak From Kanatak, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Kelly. MT. F. Lee who took in fifteen head of horses bound for Curry and for tour ist use. s. Warren for Nome. T. J. Finnigan From Uyak D. Waller and c. Ballet and Chas. stanner From Uganik, N. P. Gilbertson and George c, Gill Others. Jugi Bekavarac, Pet CT Moronach, Joe Burger Knute Nel- son and Gus Kramer.
 To the chief engineer. who seems to be part of the wonderful mechanism of the powerful engines and his able assistants, and the first mate, Wheel CT who helps to guide the ship, the entirely efficient and obliging purser F. L. Bender the genial mail clerk and untiring wireless operator. we ex- tend our heartiest greetings. To the cuisine department-so ably managed by Chief Steward MT. Gearv, who fur nishes the most delectable meals, and his assistant, Harry Sagers, who has become permanently identified with the good ship Starr from his long and faithful service in catering to the travelling public, and to 'Handy" Andy always alert to answer the many calls of the undisposed passengers to these who make ID the personnel of the boat are airectly responsible for the most enjoyable trip from the Westward,

$50 Women Printers
Employed in N. Y.
Newspaper Offices

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-One hundred
and fifty women are employed on So
newspapers of New York state as
proofreaders, linotypers or monotyp-
ers, nellie Swartz, director of the bu-
reau of women in industry for the
state labor department, reports. Most
Of the, women are day workers, tho
the no-night-work-for-w law was
amended in 1921 to exempt this group.
Women working under union condi-
tions get the same rates as men, but
upstate firms were varied on wages
and hours where no union agreement
exists. Differences of $40 to as much
as $40 a week were found between
union and non-union wages. Swartz
points out that with only 40 women
printers working night the efforts
made to change the night work law
seem of doubtful need.

Attorney for Coal
Company Named for
Commerce Position

WASHINGTON. - The sinister m
fuence of Mellon is seen again in
the appointment by the president of
Cyrus E. Woods to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Wood was
counsel for the Pittsburgh Coal Com
pany when 1t sought to have the COM
mission reduce freight rates to the
lake regions, contending that West
Virginia and Kentucky had a better
rate on soft coal than the Pennsyl-
vania operators. But as the non-union
fields were being favored at that time,
Pennsylvania lost out. Woods en-
deared himself to the administration
by working for Pepper in his cam
paign. The appointment will likely
bring a sharp conflict in the senate
