porches are myth, after alp and "all we have been getting is skinned sunshine"
 Ernest c. Byfeld of The Sherman Company announced that his pa irons will enjoy an outdoor feeling indoors; that they may acquire an "all-over" tan for their children or for themselves while sitting behind glass; that food in their pantries will be enriched and that their liv- ing and sleeping rooms will be more than usually protected against bac- teria by the admission of the ultra violet rays of sunshine through vitaglass. 4
 Upon learning of the perfection of vitaglass by Prof. F. E. Lam plough of Cambridge University, England, MT. Byfield investigated it's ability to transmit solar ultraviolet rays. The experience of English hotels, hospitals, schools and office buildings such as Lloyd's and the Midlands Bank buildings was so convincing that he immediately ar ranged for installation of the new

.GALLOYAk NEW ALASKA
 ANIMAL 0F INTERIOR

There is now quite a family of yaks on the Alaska College campus, Professor Marchand said during his brief visit in Seward last week. And galloping about with this herd are other animals called the galloyaks, which to the unintiated is cross be- tween the galloway cow and the yak.
 In appearance the galloyak has long shaggy hair and has not quite as large hump as, the yak. The ex- periments being conducted thus far in crossing these animals have prov en very successful, and it is confi- dently believed a hardy animal will be produced, which will thrive in these northern climes.
 The original walks which are now in the college corral came from a Canadian herd which in turn came from the Himalaya Mountain region This herd always attracts much at tention from visitors

rett to their homes. Mr.. Barrett was

1t always adds prestige to any town
to have located within its borders fac
tories of different kinds. Whenever the
people of Glendale awaken to this fact
and get busy and launch out and do
something worth while, then will the
wheels of progress begin to move for
ward and the whole town and cOmmun-
ity will be surprised at the smallness
of the effort which is taken to bring
about the wonderful changes in the
status of any section, which is imbued
with the progressive spirit.
Can a garment factory be made to
pay at Glendale? This question is
being discussed by some of our pro-
gressive citizens.
There will always be optimists
who laud everything to the skies
and pessimists who cry down every
thing of a helpful nature in all
towns.
We prefer to pursue a conserva-
tive course in discussing this ques-
ton. We have before us the fact
that such factories pay in other
places. Which should be proof posi-
tive that such a mandatory, if
rightfully conducted would pay at
this point
What would be the benefits deriv-
ed from the locating of a plant of
this kind in our town? In the first
place it would give employment to a
large number of girls, who now have
to seek employment away from
home.
In the second place it would leave
in the home town, so much OF their
wages as they invariably spend else
where, and in so doing help in many
ways to keep the business interests
of the town in prosperous condl-
ton.
Last but not least is the fact that
it would keep the young girls, some
who are of a tender age under the
influence of the home, and in many
cases save them from making at
tachments which might prove any
thing but beneficial from a moral
standpoint.
A suitable building, a large sign
with white background and large
black letters announcing the fact
that here is located "The Ellendale
Garment Factory" sounds Soou'
Don't you think so?
We have two large tomato factor
les located here. If they are not go
ing to pack tomatoes this year, bet
ter turn one or both into plants for
the picking of cucumbers. Such an
industry would bring a large reve-
nue. to our farmers.
We wish some progressive cltl-
zen or citizens would improve our
town by the erection of buildings
