BILL DAVIDSON BACK
 FROM VISIT ABROAD

After three months looking the big Outside over from the inside in a Portland hospital Bill Davidson returned to Seward Saturday from Seattle on his way back to Cantwell station where he is located under the Alaska Railroad banner
 Naturally Bill is tickled pink to be home once more, safe and sound. and says he has had sufficient of the wild and woody West to last him another 16 years.
 After he staggered out of the Port land hospital wherein he underwent a tough operation, Bill struck out for Hollywood. Altogether he spent three months in the States. It was enough and he is now more than ready to hit the ball again.

CAPTAIN GUTHRIE HAS
 BIB FEATURE STORY

Breed of the North" is Captain Ralph R. Guthrie's next big story to be published in the next issue of the Popular Magazine. It is complete long novel the first one in the mag azine, the honor position. The fact that Captain Guthrie has been one of Stewards most energetic citizens for the past few years, lends particular importance to this bit of news.
 It is safe to assume that extra cop ies of the Popular containing his lat est story, will be at a premium.
 The Breed of the North" starts with an enormous bet that two doc tors made in Alaska, and ends with a girl who kept on fighting.

COMBATING AIR CHAOS

The Federal Radio Commission,
after having announced that around
1870 broadcasting stations would not
have their licenses renewed, has
been demonstrating the edict and
now it appears that some of the in
terdicted stations will live.
Some of them, Of course, deserved
to live. the chief charge against
them having been that they were
small and independent There
should be room in this country for
a few independent broadcasters as
opposed to the affiliated chain
broadcasters which naturally would
like to monopolize the air.
But what ca lsed the commission
to hesitate about some Of the sta
tons was the opposition by the sta
ton owners themselves They got
hearings and easily brought forth
friends to make good claims for
them; and in some instances there
was no lack of congressman in the
districts who were "up in arms" on
behalf of local broadcasting enter

ARPLANE ACCIDENTS

There are said to be 500 concerns
engaged in manufacturing airplanes
and parts. The industry is booming
and some optimists say it will grow
like the automobile industry did be-
fore it, Whether it will or not no.
body knows, but there can be little
doubt that it will become a constant
ly more important factor in our in
dustrial progress.
We are making first class planes.
Yet as a nation We are not renoWn-
cd for a general desire to fly. Most
people stil look upon airpiane JOY
riding askance. This attitude is due
to the proportionately large num-
Der OF accidents that are chronicled
in the newspapers.
There is this difference between
an automobile accident and an air
plane accident: If an autom obile
accident occurs it does not get any
publicity at all except in the region
where it happened-unless it is of
a specially spectacular nature. An
accident in Ohio, for instance. gets
no publicity in Connecticut unless
there are four or five killed at time.
But an airplane accident, no mat
ter where it happens, seems to get
into print everywhere Consequently
there seem to be relatively many
airplane accidents and fatalities.
The psychological effect on the pub
lie mind is easily comprehended.
If there were less stunt flying and
less chance taking with fog the
record would be more favorable.
Filters who take undue risks turn
back the clock rather than advanc-
ing it.

examined all the facts regarding the
latter he came to the conclusion,
with the majority of the recent COM
mittee OF a. that the north end high
school plan was too expensive. The
mn1lttee report was in conformity
with the contentious Of the school
committee. II is entirely likely that
the new committee will find no rea-
son to urge different policy than
that which has been followed When
all the facts have been faced it will
be found that the pressing need is
for enough accommodation for the
school population, which with the
city. is growing rapidly. The sltua-
ton would speedily solve itself if the
city remained stationary. but that
isn't the case. With growth comes
the need for action, and whether We

Some day, no doubt, the city will
catch up with school growth and the

WHERE ARE THE SCANDALS?


AS is well known, the Coolidge at
titude toward the oil scandals was
one OF silence. From the time he
succeeded Harding he had nothing
to say" about OIL In 1924 his re-
ward was a landslide.
Hoover was in the cabinet at the
time the oil scandals broke. He also
had nothing to say Neither Coolidge
nor Hoover we're implicated In the
unsavory mess, OF course; but the
willy Democrats occasionally stress
the allegation that both must have
known something OF what was 60
ing on. Even If they did it probably
was none of their business.
Claude Bowers in his keynote
speech tried to inject the oil
scandals into the present campaign.
He devoted nearly all of his in
vective IN that direction. Since that
time. however. no one has been able
to note much excitement about the
oil scandals. Extensive as they we're,
they somehow refuse to click in the
public mind. Either We as a nation
have grown callous or we are inter-
ested in scandals OF our own.

HOW BIG SHOULD THE

How large should high school
auditorium be?
There are two sides to this aues-
ton. like all other questions. But it
ID important that both OF them
should be thoroughly understood
before something u done about 1t
which will make the city sorry 20
years from now.
For years there has been senti-
ment throuEhout the city that there
should be an auditorium large
enough to take care Of important
public gatherings.
In hundreds Of progressive cities
Is considered proper that mas
,''"h as q high school needs a fair

uld possess one large enough to
care Of civic gatherings.
There 10 Z sentiment in New
Britain. favored by those who wish
to be a. economical a. possible,
that the auditorium in the enlarged
high school should be as small as
possible: no larger than would ac-
commodate the most elementary
needs Of the institution.
There is other sentiment for an
auditorium that could be utilized
for civic affairs. one large enough
for the purpose.
Ono side says 1t should not be
the business OF the school depart
ment to furniAh a civic auditorium;
the other side saying the school de-
partment. in cooperation with the
city, can make no mistake by pro-
viding what In effect would be a
civic auditorium.
The latter sentiment has prevail
ed In Z great many progressive CT
ties. We think it ought to prevail
here considering the difference In

cost Of constructing a separate au-
