IT'S GOING TO COME-DON'T WEAKEN.

In ten years, according a survey just completed by
the Bureau of Education Interior Department at Washing
ton, great city will stretch from New York to Phade
phia
s'Ten Years.
"A city stretching from New York to Philadelphia
10 ii may appear that the survey by the Bureau
OF Education is anticipating too much.
Let stop for moment and give thought TO the
recent surveys.
Every survey made for highway traffic and use of
bridges this Garden State OF New Jersey for the last few
years has been exceeded by growth In other words the
maximum volume of traffic looked for under the survey
has been reached about half the anticipated by the
survey.
1t is apparent, them that development and growth
is faster than we have thought could be possible.
One may say that traffic movement is not home
city building Perhaps this Traffic movement
only the advance agent of incoming population When
find they gel it quickly and easily they will
make it their suburban home.
What does New York and Philadelphia have do
with this part of New Jersey? You may ask
We all know that the Jersey Shore is Phadelphias
leading suburb.
The shore is also becoming and more of suburb
of New York Build solid between New York and Pha-
delphia and you multiply the demand upon this section
the leading suburb
This section, too, is likely to have Importance
than suburb With the electrical power energy being
perfected there every expect that industries
will be brought operation favorable points off shore
Industrial survey should follow the survey of the
Bureau of Education and open the pages of the 1887
book of enterprise.
We already have very substantial proof that public
service corporations plan for great growth here.
The Bureau of Education also has this conviction.
Individuals need only stand by and do their part

iTIRANA, Albania QF9.-There is more
military activity in this little capital
of Albania than almost anywhere else
in Europe, although the army numbers
only 5000 men.
Trained by British and Italian mis-
sions ostensibly for possible use against
rebellious tribesmen, the army bustles
energetically about town.
Opinion here places prospective trout
| BILE at not more than six months dis
tant and there is considerable specu-
, lation as to how the militia and gend-
armes will act in view of recent ruth
| less suppression of an uprising in the
north.
The country can muster about 10000
men altogether, including gendarmes,
! reservists and militia. The active
; army is provided with Italian uniforms
and rifles in pursuance of an agree
\ ment of Mussolini to equip 5000 men.
/ The Italians also are fortifying the
! island of Saseno at the entrance to
the Bay of Valona, which commands
the Adriatic and is considered the key
| TO the Balkans.
Officially the once thriving industry
of banditry has gone bankrupt, as 1000
gendarnes are patrolling the country
to make it hazardous business. Oc-
casionally mistakes of identity" oc-
cur, however, and recently a Greek
doctor was shot through the wrists by
bandits, who dressed his wounds and
! took everything but his medicine KIT.
J At least two of seven bandits who
killed two Americans, Robert Louis
Coleman of San Francisco and William
I H. Delong of New York, three years
ago are still at large. Three were shot,
+! trying to escape, two hanged at Scu-
tari and the other two are said to be
living near the scene of the crime.
! Many of the gendarmes who are of
ficial enemies of the bandits are from
! the same tribes. This is also reason
for speculation as to the attitude they
will take in the event of an uprising
against President zoga, who has been
reported several times as planning to
make himself king.

WASHINGTON Up = Now is the
time when the "Wamcats" can be
happy. It's summer in Alaska, too
The "Wamcats" are those hardy
soldiers of the army signal corps who
maintain communication winter and
ummer-night and day, as it were
between Americas last frontier and
the homeland, by radio, telegraph
line and cable. Their real name is
the Washington Alaska Military Ca
BILE and Telegraph Service.
Summer in Alaska means fresh pro-
visions for the "Wamcats" and a new
store of tobacco to last through the
long winter that's coming. For they
must lay in supplies year in ad-
vance, while the rivers are open, and
they have to figure pretty closely to
get the most comfort and satisfaction
out of their subsistence allowance Of
$21O a day. More than twice that
amount is allowed United States mar
shals in the territory to provide for
their prisoners.
1t was in Alaska that the first
public commercial radio service on
the continent was established, back
in 1904, when the new means of COM
munication was generally regarded as
a toy And it was the signal corps
that set it up, between Cape Nome
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-03

and st. Michel, after deep sea cable
in Norton Sound had been carried
away by the ice.
Since then the "Wamcats", have
grown and prospered For many years
the service depended chiefly on wires
and cables, but the heroic efforts to
keep them in operation in the face
OF blizzards, landsAdes, spring fresh
cts and other violent manifestations
of nature encountered in the Arctic
has led to the substitution OF radio
as the principal medium
Messages transmitted for the public
in the last fiscal year by the "Wam-
cats" brought the government more
than $250,OOO. In addition the service
handled the governments business il,
the territory, and that represented
more than $15O,000. But it is doubtful
that. if operated privately, the service
would have shown profit, for trans
portation and other costs are high
"Old Tom," one of the horses at the
interior station at Paxsons, for in
stance, consumes $1,700 worth of pro-
visions in a year.

Court Debutantes
Provide Good Show

LONDON, July 2. R)-Goldfish in a
bowl are not half as conspicuous as
the young women who wait in auto
mobiles outside buckingham Palace
for presentation at court.
The queue of waiting automobiles
loaded with debutantes in feathers
and court trains stretches a half mile
from the palace. Curious spectators
peer through the car windows and
make a good natured survey Of the
young women.
Boobies police the line and keep the
crowd orderly, but there is no law
against looking at pretty girls in
fairy costumes. The London public
regards the approach to the court
one of the great shows of the year.

exploration centered the Mississippi River Hunt
and traders had heard from lying Indians al al
sorts of weird stories about the country along its
banks and about the wonderful sea into which it was
supposed The shores of the river to the South

The mouth of the Mississippi might be in China, in

began his journey of discovery. To strengthen his

and Ave followers began voyage compared to which
a trip around the world nowadays would be mere

days sail of the rivers mouth Then, fearing lest
spanish attack might ruin their plans, they turned
back Joliet had taken copious notes of each step of
the route had drawn careful maps OF the whole dis
riet through which they passed and had written ex
haustive accounts of every incident He and Mar
quette parted the way North, and Joliet hurried
toward Canada with his news.
In the Spring of 1874. when well on his way to
Quebec, Joliets canoe upset while shooting the
Lachne Rapids, and every paper, map and note was
lost Heartsick this destruction, he neverthe
less set to work copying from memory his maps and
rewriting his recoectons of the voyage. He was
warmly welcomed at Quebec and received high office

there He married Clara Bssot, a local belle. and
prepared to settle down prosperous landowner
But the fever of discovery was still upon him. Soon
he begged the French government to let him cooniZe
in Frances name the rich Mississippi Valley. The
plea was rejected. AS balm for the refusal Joliet
ceived title to the Island of Antcosti. There he
built fort and made his home. Scarcely had he
gathered about him hourshng community when
the English swooped down upon his beloved island
in 1890, captured it. destroyed his fort and houses
seized his entire fortune and took his wife prisoner
At As the soldier of fortune was forced to begin
life all In no way discouraged, Joliet turned
explorer more and plunged again into the wilder
ness. He explored nearly all the coast of Labrador
sought for mines Lake Superior and at last, in
1907, rewarded by a grant of land
Quebec. There, three years later, he died.
