renew STUDY
OF downtown
TRAFFIC NEEDS
Work of City Councils
Committee on Problem
Is Continued.

Further study of the downtown
bus and street car congestion was
begun today by the city council
special traffic committee.
On motion of Judge F. White, the
special committee headed by Robert
e. Springsteen which revised the
traffic code was revived to complete
the traffic study.
The traffic committee made pre-
1iminary study of the downtown
congestion with the view of elm
mating turns of street cars and
motor vehicles on Washington, be-
tween Delaware street and Capitol
avenue. On adoption of the code
the committee was automatically
discharged.
Study Pedestrian Plan
Efforts are being made to devise a
plan whereby the right turns can be
eliminated and abolish the pedes-
trian three-way signals at three
Washington corners.
Col'ncilmen believe that abolish
ment of right turns and re-routing
of street cars to tighten the traffic
would permit abandonment of the
bell signal for those who walk, other
traffic being stopped.
There has been considerable OBJ
lection to the pedestrian regulation
but SpringSteen insisted it can not
be abolished as long as there are
right turns of street cars and
motor traffic.
RerOute Street Cars
A. H. Moore, city engineer, sub
mitted a plan for rerouting street
cars to the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company, providing for
through cross town lines and elm
mating the looping of routes.
Councilmen are authorized to call
in consulting experts>in making the
comprehensive study" to work out
a convenient, safe and practical
plan," for handling the transporta-
ton lines.
A fund is available for a traffic
expert through the city plan COM

Santa SteedS
Reindeer Used Ages Ago
as Horse and Cow
by Europeans.
By Science SerUice

By Science SerUtce
XXTASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-
w Santa Claus rides through
the air behind six fine reindeer
so they tell us. His neighbors
away up north, are the apps
who have used reindeer as sort
of combination horses to haul
their SleighS and cows to milk
and eat, for many centuries. Prob
ably Santa Claus got the idea
from the Lapps and bought his
steeds in some reindeer market in
Lapland.
For the reindeer has been one
of the useful animals almost ss
long as there has been a human
race to make use of any kind of
animal at all. Even before there
we're any Lapps, and very long
before there was any Santa
Claus, away back in the stone
age, when all Europe was as cold
and snowy as Lapland is today,
the reindeer wandered far to the
south.
In those days people lived in
caves and decorated their homes
by drawing pictures of animals on
the walls. And in caves far in
the south Of France we find
drawings of the reindeer, which
never have been seen that far
south by any man who knew
how to write a story about it.
The drawings are all we have to
show, but they are so well done
that there is no doubt that the
people who made them knew the
reindeer. We know there must
have been many of these animals
in the south of Europe during
that faraway time.
q
NNE other evidence we have of
~ the presence of reindeer in
the France of the Stone Age.
That is the bones and horns of
the animals themselves. In the
caves where the cave men lived
we find the bones they threw away
after they had eaten the meat
for cave men were untidy house
keepers.
Some of the antlers they carved
into tools, and these were often
decorated with pictures. Quite a
number of reindeer antler tools
have been found, with pictures of
reindeer cut into them.
The cave men did not tame the
reindeer. They were hunters, not
herdsmen, and they had no
domestic animals at all, except
possibly some half-wild dogs that
helped them in their hunting. The
tanning of animals was not done
until very many years later.
When it happened, it probably
was done by catching the calf of
wild COW, or the colt of a wild
horse, or the fawn of a wild
reindeer that the hunters had
killed, and having it brought up
by children, who played around in
front of the cave.

OUR AGENT AT WASHINGTON

The citizens of Alaska again called to select delegate congress- The incumbent is seeking reelection contesting Mr. George Grigsby of Ketchikan. Voters however should consider what these candi- dates standing for their opinions on questions Of importance to Alaskans; who is behind them and what service they render for Aaskas welfare in Wash ngton.
 The incumbent has represented this Territory in Washington for eight long years During that time we ask what effort has been made assist prospecting and mining? Has there been introduced any bill enabling prOspector to locate low grade placer proposition? No Has any effort been made to change the coal leasing law to enable essors to work coal on scale for export for distribution along the Alaska coast line? None whatever!
 It takes money to open up coal mlne and It IS con- ceded the present leasing law offers nducement for capital to take chance to develop these fields:
 Has any effort been made to stop or to change the grossly unjust law whereby homesteader in Alaska is deprived of the benefits of coal oil being found under lying the surface of his her homestead? No Home stealing in Alaska is about the most dscouragng and most expensive method know of to acquire land and the hardy and courageous pioneer who faces the heav fest harsps and odds after five years of patient to gets his patent but in after years when ceeps upon him and his strength fails, widcatter along finds oil coal in his neighbohood and the homesteader cannot reap his just reward; the reward that the po neers of the South are reapng today the Alas ka homesteader cannot like the Indian tribes of Okaho ma look forward to life of from oil on his ground All he look for is the Stka Home The big tax dodgers back East need the royalties for the public treasury to keep their taxes low
 Is this developing Alaska or helping the pioneer?
 We hear lot about the fisheries about this time of the year-election tmebut for the last eight years nothing in between except to call the Republican Pres identia Nominee abusive names Alaska wants more hand canneries but don't hear anything about that
 Mr. Grgsby, the other hand stands before the people of Alaska upon definite platform setting forth in plain language what the Democratic Party believes IS for the best He is pledged if elected, to make every effort legislation to correct present evils and to the laws to enable pioneers, and thelr next of kin reap some benefits from hardshps he or she has endured.
 If you had an agent that could not show better suits after eight years than the incumbent has shown the agent of the people of Alaska, in Washington doubt if you would reengage him. In fact sure you wouldn't.
 So Mr. and Mrs. Voter, apply the rules that you have for carrying on your personal affairs to politics and employ agent for yourself at Washington and if he don't make good fire him two years from and get some one else.
 The necessity of mailing campaign lies should cause 2 narcentibe boom in the hardware trade.

WIFE OF VVH|zBANC EDITOR SEEKING
 MEDAL, ALASKAN
KNIGHTS OF MINNESOTA BE LTEVE MUCH CREDIT DUE,
 WALTER KOTOFF

T shall do all in my power to gain the Carnegie Medal of Honor for Walter Kotoff, devoted Rus sian pupil who saved the life of John Bess Howe when she was acci- dently shot thru the stomach last winter at Ninilchik," said Mrs. Billy Whizbang" Fawcett before she departed Saturday on the s. s. Yukon for her home at Robbins dale, Minn
 MT Fawcett had just completed a hunting trip along Cook Inlet where he had poor luck follow ing bear tracks Bigger than a four gallon hat. I wasn't exactly sure I wanted to meet up with the owner of said tracks," said Captain Billy.
 WALTER KOTOFF, THOUGH advanced in years and a graduate of mining in Russia, took the overland trek last November from Ninilchik after Miss Howe had shot herself while cleaning a rifle, his object being to reach the nea'- est radio station to call for help. He had been a pupil of Miss Howe who was teaching him English, but when he got to KuSilof, 50 miles away, ne found the station abandoned so he rigged up a sen- der and, recalling some of the let ters of the Morse code which he had not used for 25 years, began to send.
 THE MESSAGE
 was picked up by the Anchorage station and Russell H. Merrill, aviator. and Dr. A. D. Havcr- stock, sped down the Kenai pen insula and picked up the wounded woman who had been suffering for days and was slowly approaching the portals of death
 It was on Thanksgiving Day the two landed on the ice near Ninilchik, six miles from where she lay, from where she was car ried to the plane in the arms of the men and by a dog team. They then flew back to Anchorage where Doctors HaverStock and Rex SWartz, of the Alaska Rail- road staff, made the necessary op- eration and saved the life of the plucky girl who afterwards was restored to health i'll the Virginia Mason hospital, in Seattle. She is now with her parents at Seymour, Texas, but declares she will re- turn to Alaska right soon as it is the homo of the best people on earth.
 In the meantime Kotoff, not knowing his message had been re- ceived, started on his overland journey back thru the deep SHOWS, storms and fighting his way along ithe shoreline, to SeldOvia where he finally found out his revered tea cher had been saved

Maybe Youths Answer Is the Best

The discussion that follows the Durant first prize
award merely adds to the insoubty of the great pro-
hibition enigma.
Advertised for months forthcoming panacea
with which all the ills of non-enforcement would be
cured the first prize contribution Immediately is
bounced upon by those whose Job it is to enforce
The plan is called old stuff by James Doran the
nations chief prohibition officer and by Major Camp
bell successor to the author of the plan itself It is
pointed out that all the suggestions already part
of the routine practices of the dry unit So another
hope goes glimmering. And in the meantime Doran
is on record saying that his department shy some
$287o000OO of the amount necessary yearly to do the
enforcement job.
In little more than two months new President
will go into office He has expressed the wish that
prohibition may succeed What will he bring to bear
that the Durant prize offer failed to call forth?
Does Hoover see the way out? Or does he merely
wish? The answer to those two questions will pro-
vide of the most interesting chapters in American
history
Perhaps the plan that won the school prize is
better than that presented by the expert, Mr.. Mills
At least it takes in territory and radates the
faith that always is such charming characteristic
Of youth
Fifteen-year-old Malcolm Almack described as al
ways having llVeo IN Qry community ana VINO there
fore has undergone a minimum of disillusionment
incorporates three major elements into his PROPOSE
tion-better knowledge of the law, greater respect
for the law and better administration of the law The
climax of his prize winning essay is phrased fol-
lows:
Convince people that it is good thing and per-
suade them to support it, After all. that's all there
is to it.
If that can be done, everything will be lovely. If it
can't WELL anyway young Almack is 81 900 to the good
and Mr.. Durant that much nearer to the poorhouse.

Scientists Meet

THE greatest aggregation Of
4 scientists ever assembled are
now in New York. Officially, their
meeting is known as the eighty
fifth convention of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science.
For convenience, the association
has been divided into fifteen sec
tions, besides which no less than
forty-five learned societies of ma
tional scope will convene, making as
one headline writer described it, a
sixty-ring show.
Two thousand papers will be read.
all the recent discoveries and specu-
lations of consequence will be dis
cussed and, as some expect, the
stage will be set for a big drive
against those forces which have
aligned themselves in opposition to
certain aspects of scientific teach
ing for one reason or another.
Authorization laws undoubtedly
will come in for a great deal of
consideration. Scientists are really
alarmed at the possibility they rep
resent. There is more at stake in
the idea of subjecting education to
mob rule than there is in anything
that has been done thus far.
If states can be stampeded into
passing authorization laws, they
might be stampeded into doing
other things.

Waiting for Hoover

hoover Is heading back into the WASHINGTON ro,i+
zeal storm Congress is in legislative lam and po,i
uclahs are warning over patronage This is NOT IN.
usual Legislative jams customary in short SEES
SonS ana patronage nerves alw S are on edge before
a new administration
by change OF plans, which will bring him tn
washington for fortnight before completing his Car
looean tour and resting in Florida Hoover shows i
courage in facing the situation He is ready IN he
gin making decisions which means making noitical
enemies well as friends
inspired stories from the Hoover ship that the
President-elect while in Washington this time mil,
limit himself to making reports to Coolidge on Latin
America and to forming his own cabinet carefully
avoiding commitment on pending legislation, cannot
be taken too seriously
There are three issues before congress. which in
volVe the Hoover administration Since the outgoing
and incoming administrations are of the same partv
no mistaken idea of difference due Coolidge should
prevent Hoover from making clear his position nm
pending legislation to senators and representatives
seeking his views
The Kellogg ant-war treaty. the cruiser bill and
farm relief legislation are the pending measures
Hoover already publicly committed to prompt treaty.
ratlhcaton No one has given any legitimate reason
for delaying such ratification
But the cruiser bill and farm relief are in differ
ent category Unless there develops new reason
not now apparent both of these measures should be
left to the recently elected congress and the new Pres
ident.
This is particularly true of farm relief In the cam
paign, Hoover promised to call a special session of
congress to deal with this problem unless prior
faction were taken. Neither the revised McNary bill
nor any other pending measure incorporates all the
Hoover campaign farm pledges.
TO attempt to push through one of the pending
farm bills at the close of this crowded short session
probably would result in more piecemeal and therefore
futile legislation
Some politicians in Washington say Hoover favors
farm legislation now, and that he is opposed to a
the accuracy of this though certainly Hoover has
right to make such judgment.
The important thing, however, is that Hoover share
the responsibility for any action taken now or later.
The Republican party and Republican administrations
have disappointed the farmers long enough The CAM
pagn pledge must be kept. The time for tinkerng is
past. The country wants the promised Hoover sou-
ton of the farm problem
If Hoover is willing to accept responsibility for the
pecemeal legislation proposed for this session. he
should do so openly If not, then that old problem
must be set aside for two months longer until the
administration can come into power and produce
something in the way of legislative relief for which
Hoover will take responsibility
We believe with most farm organizations that there
should be special session of the new congress to de-
vote it's full time to this most complicated and serious
problem.

Scramble for Loot

THE Republican party is running
i true to form not only with re-
spect to its own peculiar traditions,
but with respect to those of all
political parties.
Victory soon sours in a scram-
BILE for the loot. Some want jobs,
some want to boss the jobs and
some would be content with the
glory if they could only hog it all.
The trouble is that, no matter what
they want, or what they would be
content with, it invariably turns out
that too many want the same thing.
1t also turns out that if they can
not quarrel over something suff1-
GENTLY tangible to be possessed, or
claimed, they will turn to promises,
propositions, programs and theories
as the basis of a scrap. In this
particular case, the Republican
brethren find it convenient TO dis
agree not only over postoff1ceS and
cabinet jobs, but over what should
be done with regard to that special
session.

Some Lies Held Natural and Necessary

man society a certain amount OF
friction is inevitable.
Certain instincts in life are as
fundamental as life itself. These
include protection and the sat-
isfaction of hunger and biologic
demands. Many people require con-
slant stimulation to maintain their
self-respect and to be satisfied with
their position in life.
Doctor Vile points out that ma
ture herself lies by providing ami
mails and plants with protective
eoloration and employs all sorts Of
horrible forms to convey impress
sions of power, strength or poison
GUS character.
Natural living always involves
some degree of Discrimination and
stimulation. The psychoanalysts in
sist that lying is one of the defense
mechanisms used by the individual
to get himself out of difficulties,
and that in that way it may be
helpful to protect against distinte-
grafton of the nervous system.
There have been innumerable
classifications Of lies from that
which provides new forms, begin
ming with the plain lie and passing
to the profane one, to some CLASH
hcations involving lies of vanity,
hattery, convenience, interest, fear,
