AFTER DEATH

Professor Oliver Lodge rep
resents the life OF the universe
as an endless evolution, assum-
ing that all things might be
reduced to mere ether. but that
would be only the completion
of cycle of renewal. Does
this idea accord with the senti,
ment of survival after death?
What do you think about it?

i cord with the sentiment of
survival after death. That senti-
ment is based upon the sense Of
personality. The idea is also
inconsistent with Oliver Lodges
own expressed belief concerning
communications with and from
the dead. BY immortality of the
soul is meant endless existence Of
INDIVIDUAL souls. You can
not find real religion cherishing
the idea Of immortality that does
not cling to this indiyidualistic
view. This Is true alike Of

CLOSE-UPS in THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James)

Transportation has written on
of the most romantic chapters II
the history of the settlement ant
development of the United States
Current records of this fact, taker
from newspapers reporting the
principal transportation feats
have been compiled at the Library
of Congress and will be preserved
in it's archives.
The record begins with the Jan
nary |. 1900, issue of the Lancast'
or. Pa, Journal, which reports the
news of the death of George Wash
ington, just received at that ham
let by stage coach.
The American Citizen, OF Ne"
York, is next, with an account OF
the successful trip up the Hudson
nv Robert Fulton in his new-fangl-
ed boat, the steamship Clermont.
The next stage is represented by
the Pittsburgh Gazette, which tells
of the launching on the Ohio river
of the first steamboat to ply those
waters. The Savannah, Ga, Daily
Republican is next, recording the
achievement of the Savannah, the
first boat to cross the Atlantic
under steam.
Then ome the New York Ey-
ening Post, 1925, reviewing events
leading to the completion OF the
Erie Canal. The Granite Rail
road, the first built in the United
States. though horses were used
for power, is the theme OF the
reporters story in the Boston Ad-
vertiser, 1926.
In 1928 the Baltimore Patriot re-
cords the laying of the cornerstone
of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. and in the same year the
Washington, D. c., Intelligencer
describes the breaking of ground
for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

TO REnucE ACCIDENTS

Uniform traffic laws for pedes
trian and driver should be adopted
throughout the United States. The
point is emphasized by the in.
creasing accident list.
In one state where records show
that for every thousand automo.
biles in the state, n person is
killed each year and seven are in
iured, there is a loss of more than
500, 600, 900 a year traceable to
street and highway accidents.
AS long as me city has one
set of traffic laws while the next
city has different regulations
there will be a heavy traffic toll
With the great amount of tourist
traffic, uniform laws should moi
be confined to the cities of a single
state. but should be adopted by
all states, and conspicuous publ
city given them.
Realizing the Importance OF the
movement to prevent automobile
accidents, politicians have hit up
on the idea of compulsory auto
mobile liability insurance which,
in theory, would "pay" for acct
dents after they have happened.
The idea does not seen to work
,ut as well as it sounds on paper.
And even if it did, compensation is
nearly so important as pre-
vention of accidents.
Enactment of uniform traffic reg
ulations throughout the country
and their enforcement, would prob
ably do more than anything else
to curb automobile accidents.

1t is safe to say that the presi-

preparing his startling announce

or this day-the fourth anniversary
of Mr.. Coolidge taking the oath of

that he would not make any state
ment of his plans for another term
and would accept the nomination
if given to him without expressing

president that the door to the
nomination had not closed by the

wrote he had learned of the inten-

the monument from it's present
site, and wished to submit his bid
for that bit of work.
His bid was returned, with the
undoubtedly accurate statement
that the government does not at
this time contemplate the removal
of the famous memorial.

L'Enfant, designer of the ground
plan for the Nations Capital
whose memory has been sadly
neglected by the city which he
aided so greatly to found, is to
have a memorial to his honor after
all. 1t will be erected in New
York City, however, before the
City Hall, and the figure will be
by one of our most distinguished
sculptors.
Finally, in all probability, he
will have recognition in Washing
ton too, since umerou influential
organizations are becoming inter-
Lested in the plan. Among these is
the Society of the Cincinnati, whose
insignia he drew. That fact also
calls to mind that L'Enfant was
the first to conceive the idea of
the American Eagle, with out
stretched wings, now so familiar
the world over.
L'Enfant died at Green Hill,
Maryland, in 1924, and he is buried
in Arlington Cemetery.
Betsy Ross famous flag, the
original of the Red, White and
Blue for which the best blood of
the nation has been spilled, found
it's final resting place off the coast
of France, according to the belief
of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur.
Other claims to the contrary not
withstanding, Investigation by the
Navy Department have convinced
officials that nowhere in the United
States is the original itself to be
found.
The first Old Glory, Secretary
Wilbur believes, sank with John
Paul Jones' famous fighting ship,
the Bonhomme Richard, during an
engagement with the enemy off
the French shore.
According to the Secretary, the
flag which Betsy Ross made in
her little house in Arch street,
Philadelphia, was sent to Commo-
dore Jones to fly from his ship.
The emblem vas made from GER
tain intimate wearing apparel of
the seamstress. Jones few the
flag from his ship, but when the
enemy was engaged the staff from
which it waved was shot away.
The flag, however, was saved.
When the Commodore saw that
his ship was sinking, he prepared
to leave her, but decided that she
should go down with colors flying.
So the old sea warrior hung the
colors from a temporary staff and
watched the historic flag f1utter in
the battle breeze as it went down
with the Bonhomme Richard to its
final resting place in Davy Jones
locker.

Ketchikan, July p, R)-With the salmon run here considerably behind that of last year, the local cannery has been encouraged by reports today of immense schools of salmon seen just outside of here by halibut fishermen arriving with their vessels. This means that the fish are on their way to the spawning grounds. The traps nearer to the ocean have reported better catches. Private advices to- day said that the run has started in Icy Straits. The dispatches also said that the Nushagak area was closed Saturday with fishing in other Bristol Bay points ended on Tuesday, and said that the pack there was only sixty per cent of that of last year.

 His order was said to be based on reports that there was virtual ly no run of fish in the district. The amended order was made after the report of district commissioner Dennis Vim of Bristol Bay that an interpreter run of fish had set in during the last few days in the Kvichak and Naknek area. Vim said that the run was holding steady. and requested permission to use his own judgment about en- forcing the closing order.
