 FORCES UNDER
 ONEDEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20. (P)- The War Department reiterated for the third time with the past year it's opposition to making the airplane CO., equal with land and sea armaments.
 Secretary Davis, before the oHuse Military Committee said "Our answer is no!" When asked to give his de- partment's views on bill to create a of national defense, he said they agree with the Coolidge Air Board report which said "we don't recommend Department of National Defense, either comprising the army and navy or comprising the three CO., ordinate departments, the army, na- wy and air"
 Davis said his position in the mat ter was the result of careful analy- sis of reports of numerous investigat- ing boards and committees, "the opin- ions of men who devote their lives to these problems"

VETOES
 NORMAL SCHOOL
 BILL ON DEGREES

OLYMPIA, Jan. 20. (P)-Hartley ve- toes twelve and signed forty-four of the remaining bills of the 230 meas ures the legislature passed. So far the governor has vetoed forty-seven and signed 181 measures, leaving two constitutional amendments for the people to act upon.
 Among today's vetoes was a bill au- thorizing normal schools to confer the degree of bachelor of arts on gradu- ates of the four-year course. The governor said he felt that the normal schools had expanded beyond the act Of granting degrees, which would be- come the primary function of the schools and render them competitive institutions with the University and state colleges, if the bill was allowed to stand.

WIVES WHO REFUSE TO TAKE
 HUBBY'S NAME CAUSE GRIEF

LONDON, Jan. 20. (P-Modern wives who refuse to take their hus- bands names have set social secre- taries by the ears. Engravers have profited, however, and passport bu- reaus are large winners.
 It is not safe now to send an invi- tation to MT. and Mrs. James Battle Royal without looking into the social register. Mrs. James Battle Royal may not be Mrs. James Battle Royal, at all. She may be Mrs. G. Alone And that is tragedy when engraved invitations have been carefully count ed on the old-fashioned theory that married couples are really married in good old Victorian style.
 Wives who are willing to travel on family passport issued in the name of the head of the family are rapidly going out of fashion. Even if they do wear their husbands names they want a separate passport, and that means extra fees for visas

SEWARD CHAMBER
 PLANS EXHIBIT
 FOR COMING YEAR
COOPERATION OF WOMAN'S CLUB ASKED; WONDERFUL DIS-
 PLAY BE HAD.

Seward will have an exhibit of re- sources of this district on display this coming spring, according to plans outlined at yesterdays weekly busi- ness meeting and luncheon for a tem- porary committee of three was ap- pointed by Pres. McMullen to begin at once the gathering of the hund- reds of exhibits which can be secur- ed with little effort.
 The committee selected, is headed by Hugh Dougherty, chairman, and assisting him will be Al Chamber lin and J. P. Hannon.
 Efforts vii aso be made to secure the use of the corner, now vacant, opposite the Bank of Seward build ing. Providing this is done the prop erty will be cleared off, grass plant ed, and it is hoped, special exhib- it building erected. Providing funds on hand will not permit the construc- t1on of the building in the near fu- ture it is planned to house the ex- hibits in temporary quarters. But there will be an exhibit
 Secretary Hannon was instructed by the Chairman yesterday to draft a letter to the Seward Woman's club asking their cooperation in this mat ter, which it was stated, will assure the success of the movement.
 With the rich adjacent districts, in- cluding the historic westward regions, an exhibit surpassing any in the Ter ritory should be gathered at this point, it was stated, for the district is rich in mineral, timber, furs, and fishing. The agricultural end will not be overlooked for no finer vege- tables and flowers are grown any where than in the Seward area. Then there would be the oil exhibit from Cold Bay and other points to the west, as we'll as innumerable other items which could be procured.

HUGE SALES BRING CENTER
 OF ART WORLD TO AMERICA

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. [PAThe American art collector and buyer who formerly went to foreign countries to do his shopping this year will have left between ten and twelve million dollars as tribute to New York's en- hanced reputation as an art center.
 The number of foreign collections brought to the United States this year, together with an increased sale of domestic gatherings, is evidence to dealers here of new assumption by Americans in world art affairs.
 While love for beautiful things has become more pronounced in America, local gallery officials are mindful that one of the chief factors of growth is the unsettled financial condition in Europe and the general prosperity here.

WOMAN JUDGE URGES MORE
 PARENTAL TIME TO CHILD

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. (P)-Ameri- can fathers are giving too much time to business and not enough to their children, in the opinion of Judge Jean F. Norris, who has presided in New York courts six years.
 What is true of the fathers also is true of the mothers, except business is not taking mos tof the womens time, she said, adding that this situ- ation is largely responsible for the increase in crime.
 As magistrate of the first district criminal court, the jurist is a striking example of the progress made by woman suffrage and of modern day life. But she still is old-fashioned enough to contend that respect for law and order begins in the home"

An invitation is to be extended Congressman Treadway, who recent ly lead a verbal attack on Alaska at Washington, D. O., by the Seward Chamber of Commerce, inviting him to visit Seward next summer and learn about Alaskan residents and their country.

KENTUCKY HAS MOST OF BONDED
 LIQUOR IN U. s.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 20. (P)-Should there ever be occasion to give liquor party to the one hundred and ten mill lion inhabitants of the United States, they could all be invited to Kentucky each given a pint of real red" and there would still be eighteen million pints left, for within the state boun- daries are stored approximately six teen million gallons of bonded whis- key. This represents about two- thirds of the bonded whiskey in the United States today, revenue authori- ties here say.
 This whiskey is stored in sixteen warehouses, formerly the property of distillers. Of this number, eight are located in Louisville, one of which con- tains more whiskey than any other warehouse in America. Each of them is guarded with three sets of watch men, who receive from $100 to S125 per month. At night powerful search lights illuminate the buildings and the grounds.
 The whiskey, however, pays it's own guarding, as the government gets $22O for each gallon removed from storage. In the last fifteen months, more than three million gallons have been re- moved from Kentucky warehouses for medicinal purposes.
 Evaporation plays a large part in helping to reduce the supply. It is estimated that one-third of the whis- key, which is in barrels, evaporates in years time. To remedy this much of 1t is being bottled, which prevents evaporation.
