10y Air Has Little to Do With
Catching One, Scandina--
/. Wan Doctor Explains.

IN q discussion of colds, a noted
scandinavian physician said: Most
people believe they catch cold through
being exposed to cold air, especially to
hir circulating in the form of draft.
This is a mistaken idea, for cold air
or even cold drafts have little II any
Shing to do with colds This Is proven
by the fact that Arctic explorers rarely
Il ever catch cold. while those who take
% She greatest Of precaution against colds
Aften catch bad colds" -
i Another popular mistake, 1t was
pointed out Is to imagine that colds
i ere caught by coming from warm air
into cold air. That, also, easily Is seen
to be a mistake, for Artic explorers

cause of colds. because after they have
caught cold they usually feel shivery
and chilly; but this cold feeling Is not
the cause of the cold; the cold Is the
cause OF the cold feeling. In fact cold
sir, unless 1t be very severe, is more
likely to prevent colds than to cause
them. The cause of colds is nothing
more nor less than germs and the
severity of colds depends on the kind
and number of germs at work"
In most cases, 1t was stated, the
germs are caught directly from some-
body with a cold who sprays and scat
ters them about by sneezing or cough
ing, or fiourishing his handkerchief,
but they also are often caught indi-
rectly from germs that have settled on
the furniture and floors OF infected
rooms. They often are plentiful in
railway. stations, dark rooms and
closed trunks They usually are killed
quickly by, exposure to sunlight and
fresh air. az +
The best way to. escape the germs of
colds, the physician said. is to keep
away from people with colds. to avoid
dark, stuffy rooms and halls, and to
live as much as possible in the open
air. s
With every precaution,. the specialist
said, It is seldom possible to escape
colds altogether and the next best
thing is to catch them lightly and
throw them of quickly, which one can
manage to do by taking plenty of open
air exercise and eating simple, nourish-
ing food.

PAY TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN PRESS

Both French and German representatives at the recent Congress of International Advertising Asso citations at Berlin gave the first place in journalism and journalistic ethics to the American press They said the American newspapers the worlds best advertising mediums because they were more par tcuar to the advertisements they would permit in their papers and because their editorial standards the broadest, most tolerant and ethcaly the highest in the world. Dr. Knecht, General Secre- tary of Le Matin of Paris, paid tribute to the unselfish attitude of the American press in inter- national matters, and declared that it is: Tn creasngly becoming tremendous force for good in moulding public opinion concerning foreign rela- tons. Their intelligent appreciation and dissemina- tion of internationally important news enables them to perform the greatest service toward international peace and understanding

Appreciation by the Congressional Party that re- gently visited Alaska of the highway needs of the Territory inspires hope of intelligent consideration by all Federal lawmakers The chairman and other members of the House Subcommittee on Agricul- tural Appropriations, after a trip to Alaskan coast towns and into the Interior far as Fairbanks, give assurance that conditions will be explained to their Congressional colleagues and knowledge of conditions should result in the necessary appropria- tions.
 More highways wanted in all parts Of AL aska. Lack of roads has limited major develop ment to coastal sections accessible by ocean craft and to interior regions served by navigable streams The Government railroad benefits an extensive in- land area, but the rail system must have more feeder roads to accomplish what has been expected of it.
 Aside from the railroad the most important transportation project in the history of the North land is the highway project through United States and Canadian territory to connect Seattle with Dawson and Fairbanks. Such thoroughfare would attract thousands of motorists during the touring season, when twenty-four hours of sunlight is the daily average. Over such road many that went first visitors would go back as homeseekers, and it would give impetus to settlement of the country
 Except for discovery of unusually rich gold de- posits, northern progress is dependent upon con- struction of Territorial roads in general and of the international highway in particular.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce presented an angle to mail service in Alaska that Superintendent Vandervoort of the United States Railway Mail Service said was new to the Department but inn pressve That was that in many sections of Alaska the people are interested and better served by having mail routes arranged so as to give first importance to rapid and frequent deliveries between the outlying districts and important local towns rather than to rapidy of service with Seattle. For instance the people located and doing business along Chatham Strait and other sections in this vicinity do more business in volume and importance with Juneau than with Seattle, They are more interested in getting their Juneau mail and getting their letters to Juneau than they in the Seattle mail.
 Juneau is the business and official center for those who live in large section of Alaska. Here is where they purchase goods and here are the public offices with which they do business. This ought to be the departure point for the mail service in this region This fact is established far as Chatham Strait people are concerned by the circumstance that this year they have given business to transporta- tion service that had mail contract The service was supported by the freight and business that offered
 It would be worth while for the Post Office De- partment to apply the suggested principle through out Alaska It would contribute to the develop ment of the resources and the welfare of the Territory.
