CUTTER CHELAN
 NOW ON COAST
New Coast Guard Ship Due at Seattle This Week
 May Come to Juneau

The latest addition to the Pa cific fleet of the United States Coast Guard. the cutter Chelan, will arrive in Seattle from the East coast about December 20. The new ship is of the Haida type, oil burning, steam turbine drive and is one of several such just completed at the shipways in Quincy, Massachusetts.
 The new ships base has not been made known and much spec ulation as to her headquarters is giong on in Coast Guard and Government circles i'll JuGeau. II is thought likely that the Chelan will be assigned to the Alaskan coast diyisiCa with headquarters at Juneau and replace the coal burning Unalga that has been doing duty from Juneau for some years. 1t is pointed out that the new oil burning ship is more adapted for the Juneau base than the Unalga.
 The cruising radius of the oil ship is may times greater than that of coal burning ship of the same tonnage and in view Of the price of coal for fuel, an oil burn ing ship stationed here would ef- feet great economy in operat- ing costs. For salvage work, vessel of the new design with it's greater power and consequently greater speed, could better pro- tect the lcng coast line that up to the present time has been pa troled by the one coal ship and the small Cygan stationed at Ket- chikan.
 These points were emphasized by officials when discussing the probability of the new Chelan be- ing stationed at Juneau, or that vessel replacing the Haida, which will possibly be sent north. It is not likely that civic bodies and certain authorities will request newer type of ship than the Unalga for protection of the north coast now that the addi- tions to the service fleet have been made. Until the present time there has been no available ship of the proper type to fill the need, but the several cutters just completed, of which the Chelan is one, should overcome that handi- cap.

Licensing Solicitors.

II is to BE- hoped that the special COM
mittee appointed by the Commissioners
TO draft suggested amendments to the
Districts antiquated license law will
study the conditions now prevailing in
house toulouse soliciting, and that its
recommendations will include measures
designed to improve such conditions AS
the law now stands, those who go from
house to house selling and delivering
articles must be licensed. But those
who merely solicit orders for future de-
livery escape any supervision and do
not require licenses. This, on its face,
appears to be not only discriminatory.
but is an inadequate safeguard for the
householder who, many times a day,
must answer the doorbell and possibly
transact business with stranger.
The license should be required not
merely to derive Just revenue from
what is often a lucrative business, but
rs a means of identifying and keeping
a check upon those who. many times
day, enter private homes. The cost of
the license fee would do little to abate
what often becomes a downright nui-
sance. The payment of nominal fee
would not eradicate the solicitor or
agent VINO goes from house to house
ringing the doorbell But It would en-
able the householder to know that the
person with whom he deals is registered
and known to the authorities. and that
the company he represents is responsible
and able to fill the orders taken.
Records indicate that the majority of
house -to-house solicitors are taking
orders for out-of-town concerns. Is 1t
fair that these foreign concerns should
be able to compete with Washington
merchants without the payment of even
a nominal tax? Or is 1t logical that
while a man who sells pencil at the
door must have q license, his brother
who comes after him and takes an or
der for a pencil later to be delivered
by the postman does not have to be
licensed?
The intent of the license law, in this
case, should not be to prevent house,
toulouse canvassing, but to provide the
authorities and the householder with a
means of identifying those who engage
in the business. If the amended law
does not cover this class of unlicensed
vendors, the law will fail to correct one
of the conditions which it most assured
ly should cover.

Says Lightning Rarely
Flashes Upward
BY e. r. FREE, PHI. y.

Amateur photographers who happen
to have snapshots of lightning flashes
that fork upward like the branches OF
a tree, instead of downward like the
tines Of a pitchfork stuck in the
ground, will confer favor on weather
science by letting that fact be known.
AS a result of talk on lightning CIV
en- by DR.. G.. G. Simpson last Septem-
ber at the meeting Of the British AS
sociation for the Advancement OF
Science, search has been made in a
number of collections of lightning pho
tographs. Virtually all of the flashes
prove to have forked downward, not
upward, as though the electric dis
charge started from the cloud as a
single bolt and split up into several
during its passage to the earth. But
that upward-forking flashes do occur
is proved by the discovery of very few
photographs which show this upside
down type. Since no one could tell
in advance when one of these rare
upside down flashes was going to occur,
it is unlikely that any. more such pho
tographs will be made Intentionally.
Experts suspect. however. that among
the millions of lightning snapshots
made by amateur photographers all
over the world 1t may be possible to
find some the forks Of which point
upward, together with information of
the time, place and conditions when
these rare reversals occurred.
