Smith Sure But Hoover Doubtful.
(New York Times. )

With Governor Smith and Secretary Hoover the present leaders in the for the Pres- dential nominations in their respective parties, the general belief among the leaders of both parties here is that Governor Smith will obtain the Democratic nomination and that Secretary Hoover will not obtain the Republican nomina- tion. In each case ths belief represents the party organizations viewpoint and not the view point of supporters of the various candidates.
 Governor Smiths nomination at the Demo- cratic National Convention in Houston, Texas, is expected by virtually every Democratic and Re- publican leader in the East, although the Gov ernor's supporters in other parts of the country may not be so optimistic. For second place on the Democratic National ticket some of the leaders of the smith campaign considering Rep resentatice Cordel Hull of Tennessee former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee
 Disregarding the possibility of the drafting of President Coolidge. leaders of the New York State Republican organization again have turned to Charles Evans Hughes. although MT Hughes also has said he would not be candidate for the Presidency. In the event of the nomination of MT. Hughes the renomnaton of Mr. Cool lidge 1t was said to be the plan of the organi- zation leaders to bring about the renomination Tor Vice-President Dawes, in the belief that a national ticket of Coolidge and Dawes or Hughes and Dawes would carry New York State and sweep the country if Governor Smith should be the Democratic nominee.

We'll, Lot'a Women Treat 1t With
 nsedain
More or Lees True

Some people keep their old cars. though they're not what they want because they are better than none and have no trade'in value-and we reckon a lot of wives keep their husbands for much the same reason.
 Old-fashioned parents trying to raise modern children remind us of an old hen that has been given the job of raising a duck.
 old married life is that stage that is reached when ''boneyn means the stuff that comes in a comb and not the thing that has had to quit using one.
 Lota wives are able to stand for their husbands because they sit on them whenever they try to start anything.
 Heads, purses and silk stockings are not much when they are empty.
 We'll bet no surgeon ever can look as serious while taking out an appendix as flapper can while squinting in her little mir TOT during the process of applying extra touches to her complexion.
 Ten-cent store jewelry may not be all she could desire, but the woman who wears it at least has the satisfaction of knowing there are not F more installments still to be paid on it.
 Another cause of divorce is that a young fellow knows all about what a girls feet can do in d dance hall but hasn't any idea about what her hands can do in a kitchen.
 Life is funny. Every wife wish es her husband made enough so she could take advantage of all the bargains advertised, yet if he was she wouldn't pay any more at tention to bargains than flap per does to advice, but would buy the most expensive things the stores had to offer
 The greatest fault most men find with their wives is that they don't appreciate their wonderful husbands like they ought to.

 and his associates and the frank acknowledgment of MT Bradley contains assurances that of paramount importance to this community. The faith of the people of Juneau in Mr Bradley and his associates has faltered So true Is this that they have become accustomed to taking the Alaska Juneau for granted to such an extent that they sometimes perhaps. have overlooked the fact that 1t is the main prop to the well known stability of the town and to mining in this section of the Territory. How ever, the assurance of MT. Bradley that the long light of himself and his staff to demonstrate that the mammoth ore bodies in this vicinity may be worked at a profit to the owners means that we have here a mine that will probably last as long as any now living shall be earth and serves to renew the faith and courage of those who have cast their lots on Gastineau Channel and to remind them of their debt of gratitude for the capabilities, strong faith and tireless persistency of MT. Bradley and his staff.

Secretary of the Seattle Mining Club, Ii interesting and encouraging to the people O Juneau in particular and those of Alaska gen eraly President Bradleys letter was in respons to one from Mr. Garfield, as Secretary of tn, Seattle Mining Club congratulating him upoI the successful termination of the long struggle to make profitable mine of the Alaska Juneau In his reply MT Bradley declared:
 very glad to you that the Alaska Juneau is now mining en- terprse that Juneau and all of Alaska point to with pride, not only be- of fairly large sized payroll; but, above all, because of the demonstra- tion that there good mines in Alaska.
 In his letter to Mr Bradley, Nr. Garfield wrote
 At the last meeting of the Club upon the 18th inst, attention 'called to the progress being made in the mine at Juneau toward a paying basis indicated in recent press repots.
 Many old sourdoughs members of the Club and they had lot to say about the struggle of the Alaska Ju- neau extending the years during the effort toward developing the prop l. erty in big way and listing 1t among the paying producers. They recalled your tenacity of purpose, earnest ef-
 
 sacrifice with much praise and com pliment, saying that if you not over the hump with that property you had one leg and they had no doubt as to the ultimate result. Several original stockholders there and they all said that their purchases were made because you behind the mine that they still held the stock and that even If it never paid any dividends the payroll at Juneau and the other benefits the town and Alaska received from the operating of the property was adequate compensation for the in yestment
 While this encouragement might have been comforting during the dark years of the past, it is hoped that it will still cheer you some to know that the Club unanimously extends its con gratuations for the accomplishments of yourself and staif, and offers it's sheer est hope for a full justification of your purpose
 In answering Mir Garheds letter, MT Brad ley wrote from San Francisco:>
 I am greatly pleased to have your letter of the goth inst. and am most agreeably surprised to learn that mem bers Of the Seattle Mining Club know so much about the many struggles of the Alaska Juneau to get firmly on it's feet self-susaning and long-liyed mining industry
 l appreciate more than words can say the expression of this good will from your Alaska friends because they, more than any one else, must remember the dismaying cost and labor conditions in effect when the new mill struggle was launched in 1917
 am very glad to assure yourself and friends that the Alaska Juneau is now mining enterprise that Juneau and all of Alaska can point to with pride, not only because of a fairly large sized payroll but above ali be- cause of the demonstration that there good mines in Alaska

HAZARDS OF TRACING FAWCETT
American, Seeking Fate of Lost British
Explorer, Is Convinced He Was
Murdered by Indians.

1t took 16 days to get to an Indian
camp near the junction of the Kuluene.
We knew we would learn much at this
camp, for we discovered that Fawcett
spent two days there.

"The chief of the tribe Fawcett Wis
tied was a beady-eyed fellow named
Aloique. I gave him presents and prom
ised him more if he could help me
solve the mystery of Col. Fawcett's dis
appearance. He said Fawcett had been
killed in a piqui wood four days jour-
ney beyond the Kuluene River. I set
off with him overland to the Kuluene,
sending the party down the Kulisevu
to make camp and wait for me at the
junction with the Kuluene
when we reached the Kuluene Alo-
ique refused to 90 on. Piqui is native
wild fruit, and the Indian tribes for
miles around the stretch of piqui trees
that lie beyond the Kuluene River have
made a labyrinth of trails through 1t
in their annual trips to gather fruit.
There was nothing to do but rejoin
the party and return with my own
men. Talking with Aloique and other
Indians I questioned had to be done in
sign language. 1t took hours to estab-
lish a small fact in the story of Col
FawcettS death.
II was eating breakfast when first
questioned Aloique. I wanted to know
if he could show me the bones of the
Fawcett party. 1 pointed to the pile of
fish bones on the ground. Aloique told
me only the skulls and larger bones re-
mained. He then indicated that they

When we reached the rest of my party
in camp on a sandbar at the junction
of the two rivers learned that Aloique
and his own people were not above sus-
picion Of the murder. Confronted with
the stories of the other Indians, Alo-
ique changed his story again.
Meanwhile Indians from down TIE

bers. Our camp swarmed with them.

EDUCATORS PLAN
| RADIO IN SCHOOLS
National Association Advo-
+ Gates Receiving Sets for
Class Instruction.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Educators are now proposing to adap
radio to schoolroom instruction on a
national scale. Already a proved sue.
cess in several communities, radio in.
Struction by master teachers would be
offered for one hour n day in every
public school in the land. under a plar
for a nationwide educational network
being advocated by the leaders in the
National Education Association.
Sponsor of the extensive broadcast.
Ing project is Joy Elmor Morgan, ed
itor Of the associations official journal
published in Washington. He proposes
that all public school claSsrooms. or al
least their assembly halls. shall be
equipped with modern radio receiving
sets. At a prescribed hour each day
the teacher would tune in the dav's
lessons by the greatest available teach
ers or lecturers.
The particular hour suggested is II
am. to noon, Eastern standard time, in
order to reach classes in all parts OF
the United States, despite the variance
in time.
Mr.: Morgan's scheme has the support
or a large portion of the teaching pro-
fession. He believes that the use OF
radio in the Schoolroom will lead to
the selection by a qualified organiza-
Gon OF educators of master teachers OF
specific subjects.
The broadcaSting of lessons to school
children has been conducted locally for
several years in cities like Hartford
Conn; Atlanta Ga, and Oakland, Calf
The public school system of Cleveland
proposes to begin them soon.
The nearest to national programs de-
signed to capture the fancy of children,
and at the same time to instruct them,
have been the special children's con-
ecrts Of the New York Symphony sOr-
chestra. under the direction of Walter
Damrosch. These will be resumed over
a chain Of stations beginning October
Music lends itself admirably to radio
teaching" said Mr. Morgan. "and WAL
ter Damrcsch has already begun to
practice the principle Similar work
can be done with such subjects as
history, dramatics, public speaking,
chemistry, geography civics, stenogra-
ply and physical education.
There are, for example, few history
teachers who not only instruct but in
splre their pupils by their teaching.
The best OF those teachers might well
give a history lesson on the air once
week or once in two weeks. Then the
local teacher could DO his work on the
basis of that radio lesson.
THE development of radio vision will
open UP this field of education even
wider. Children will be able to see
the instructor at work on an important
experiment. This will enable them to
assimilate knowledge of the operation
with a quicknss and sureness they
could not accomplish with the ordinary
text book explanation"

of the river are dotted with rubber
gatherers' posts. Once we reached the
first of them, our danger from Indians
was over.
II checked as carefully as possible
the stories of the Indians In the vicinity
of the piqui woods, where Col Fawcett
and his companions were slain. am
convinced that Aloique or some of his
people killed them purely for the pur-
poses of robbery.
