days were revived last Friday
night, as Alumni and members of
the graduating class of this year
from the high school were enter
tanned as the ninth annual dance
Of the High School Alumni Asso-
citation was given in the Fox Cast
no, West Atlantic City. Members
from practically every graduating
class from the Washington ave-
hue institution were present.
Talks in the halls, whispers in
class rooms, and the recollection
of work done we'll or not we'll We're
recalled, as the old alumni, young
alumni and the youngest alumni
mixed on the dance floor to the
tunes Of Eddie Wickman's Night
Owl orchestra.
Members of the youngest grad
uating class were sad, too, in the
thought that it was the last time
that group would gather. Despite
reunions which might be held,
after high school days classmates
separate to gather as they did di-
rectly after graduation no more.
The officers of the association
are: Bill Bowen, president; Miss
Ruth Glendenning, secretary; Miss

ALASKA RAILROAD
 REDUCES DEFICIT

Reduction of $394,692 in the deficit of the Alaska Railroad was effected during the first nine months of the current fiscal year, accord ing to a report made public at the Department of the Interior on June IT. The Alaska Railroad is under the jurisdiction of the De- partment of the Interior.
 The deficit for the nine months period in the fiscal year 1926 was, according to the report, sell, sos, as compared with $1,OO6,30O dur ing the same period of 1925. An increase in operating earnings of the railroad amounting to $1O7,901 occurred during the first nine months of the year, while the operating expenses were reduced by $286,791.
 Reduction in the operating costs of the Alaska Railroad was accom- plished, the report stated, chiefly through a decrease in the number of employees. It showed that an average of 122 less employees per month were employed during the first nine months of the fiscal year of 1926 compared with the same period in the proceeding year. An average saving of approximately $21, 796 per month in payroll expenditures resulted, the report stated.

"Capt. O,Connor, who recently re- turned from the Bureau of Fisher ies Sea Patrol off Sitka, says that actually the largest herd of seals that has gone to Boring Sea since the United States undertook the regulation of the industry passed Sitka this year. He estimates the number at one million. There were less than one-third of that number of seals in the herd when the Gov ernment took charge of the bus mess.

A SHORTER ODYSSEY.

Will the odyssey of Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, the anthropologist of the Smithsonian h. stitute, who arrived in Seward this morn ing, attract the attention of coming ages as Homer's account of the Wanderings of Ulysses has attracted students during 1000 years? Dr. Hrdlicka, financed by the bu- reau of ethnology, will undertake to follow the trek of primitive man back to the polnt whence he started for the continent of Am erica. The racial characteristics of the Am erican aborigines have led scientists to be- lieve that the original redskin found his way from Siberia into Alaska via the Dlo- mede Islands and Stewards Peninsula. It is the theory of these searchers into the past that the American Indian, the Aleut, the Eskimo, and the other apparently distinct races which populated the American conti- nent before the advent of Europeans were originally of Asiatic origin.
 Just how many centuries have elapsed since the wanderings began have not been estimated, but centuries never bother men of science when they start out to develop theory. The scientists of the institution on the Mall have ocular evidence to convince any doubting Thomas that glyptodons, mas todons and scores of other extinct crea- lures wandered all over the continent be- tween 20,000,0O0 B. c. and period some what later They left bones and footprints and other evidences which have proved their presence in Arizona, Wyoming and even up around Winnipeg. Then why is it looked upon as impossible that there may be few human footprints and bones i'm bedded in the rocks and glaciers of Alaska? ? Perhaps in this very region!
 When it is recalled that there is an un- interrupted and unbroken ice connection be- tween the Alaska coast and the Asiatic mainland during many months of the win ter it is not difficult to understand the ba- sis of the theory that the American Indian was of Asiatic origin; nor is it hard to un- derstand that Dr. Hrdlicka has reason to hope that he may find traces still existing of those pioneers who were the ancestors of all the first families of the continent.
 It must not be forgotten, however, that some of the most famous scientists of Har yard started on a wild goose chase into the northern wilds some twenty years ago. They were hunting for relics of Noah's Ark; Casey Moran, an irresponsible hum- orist of Fairbanks, Alaska, having sent broadcast through the newspapers yarn to the effect that natives of Kotzebue had described the discovery of numerous ''pairs of skeletons" corresponding to those SUD- posed to have accompanied Noah in the year of the big rain.
 There is more literature available today than at the time when 'Omer struck his bloomin' Tyre, and it is hoped that Dr. Hrd- Hcka will be able to tell the story of the wanderings of the original immigrants in shorter space than was used by the old Greek in his account of the journeys of Ul- ysses. Otherwise it will be difficult to in- trigue the reader.

walked for a couple of minutes before
we broke into a jog trot. When we
came to a steep hill Gene went right
on up without slackening his pace. I
dropped back about feet, so as to
watch his legs. They are firm and did
not falter bit. Tunney has a re-
markable pair Of legs.
A little farther on Gene stopped and
did a little shadow boxing, practicing
a left jab and left hook.
We went on again. and then Gene
began to sprint. I estimated the dis
tance and timed him. He did what
believe was 200 yards in "a seconds.
He shadow boxed some more while
waiting for me to catch up. and used
right uppercut. This he let go very
carefully. and with plenty of body
