METAL
 FORECAST FOR FUTURE

lsile strength and hardness of metals can be increased if the crystal par ticles of which they are constructed are made as small as possible, with faces of the crystals arranged as nearly parallel as possible, making them less likely to slip apart.
 This is accomplished by the fine drawing of wire; by dissolving one metal in another, and letting one of the metals separate out from solution in a fine precipitate; by heat treating; by forming chemical bonds. and by mixing fine particles of a hard compound or metal with with another metal as binder.
 Some of the newly formed theo- ries are being applied with success in production of aluminium alloys for airplane and motor parts, new hard surfaces for steel and super hard cutting metals for hard stee,s and stones.

RADIO PUTS ALASKA
 NEARER TO CAPITAL

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 24-A sum- mer in Alaskan waters found Henry OMalley, commissioner of the bu- reau of fisheries, divorced from his office by many thousands of miles but in constant touch by radio.
 The radio is part of the special equipment of the vessel in which he cruised in fishery districts.
 Through it he kept in contact with canneries, with federal sta- tions and with Washington.
 Radio has become such an inte- gral part of the fishery industry that regulations drawn up in Wash ington are in effect within 48 hours even in the most remote points of Alaskan fishing areas.
 Short wave sets have been used by several companies for communi- cation between plants and Seattle headquarters and the federal radio commission has been urgently re- quested to allow more organizations the privilege of establishing wireless connections.

 Mine Is Flooded

ST. CLAIR, Penn, Sept. 24- lWreckage filtered a five mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Railroad be- tween here and Pottsville Junction as the result of a wild dash down a steep grade of runaway loco motive and 34 full coal cars.
 The train parted in three parts as it hurled down the grade.
 Twenty-six cars were reduced to wreckage.
 Light and power poles were cut down putting the town of St. Clair in darkness and causing flooding of the coal mine by the stopping of the pumps.
 Orders giving the runaway train clear track prevented collision with other trains.
 Two trainmen had narrow es- capes Fireman H. H.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 24-Metals diamond hard, and 10 and Is times as strong as those now used are visualized by Dr. Fay Jeffries, of Cleveland, noted metallurgist and president of the American Society for Steel Treating.
 Strength of metals is being grad uaIy increased by the new insight into metallic structure given by the X-ray's picture of atomic society" and other modern analy- tical methods, Dr. Jeffries says.
 Tungsten, for example, assumes a strength of 65o.o00 pounds to the square inch when drawn out into a wire one-thousandth of an inch in diameter. Glass. drawn into the same small diameter, increases in tensile strength from 15000 pounds to 92,00O.

The commission has taken the stand that it would be illegal to grant air rights to any corporation for private use and all radio mes sages from Alaska canneries to mainland cities are transmitted by a combination of radio, cable and telegraph.
 Radio has placed itself solidly with fisher folk from the rockbound coast of Gloucester to Alaska's chill waters. Prices, weather forecasts, best market for catches, and areas in which largest hauls are being made are broadcast and many fish ing communities radio to the ves- sels information regarding the fam- flies of the fishermen.
 Fishing dories are called back to the mother ship or guided in dif- ferent directions over fishing areas by radio. In some cases, where dories have strayed from the fleet, word is radioed to all ships to keep a sharp lookout and many lives have been saved.

I REFS SOON TO GRO W IN ARCTIC
 SAYS MARSHALL.
U. s. Forest Service Man Returns from Interior
 Investigation

Robert Marshall, of the U. s. For Iostry Service, who has been makine a study of tree growth in the country north of Wiseman, is a southbound passenger aboard the steamer Alaska which spent two hours in Juneau this morning CT route to Seattle. MT. Marshall passed through Juneau on July 10 on his way to Seward from which place he proceeded to Fairbanks by train and then flew to Wise- man in one of the Alaska Airways Inc. planes. piloted by Noel Wien
 Upon reaching Wiseman, he pro- cured the services of Al Retzlaf, Of Fairbanks, and together, with two horses, they set out for certain part of the country, north of Wise man, which was 109 miles from civilization.
 From the data obtained through his recent research work in this territory, MT. Marshall said that he had come to the conclusion that tree growth toward the north is not limited by climatic conditions but is due more to the fact that trees have not yet recovered the ground lost when they were swept away during the glacier period.
 Matter of Time
 Tt will only be matter of time" said MT. Marshall, until tree growth will be established again on the Arctic slope. It is comparatively slow process, as studies have shown that seeds are not carried more than a distance of LOGO feet in one season and the types of trees I have found, must be 50 years old before they bear seed.
 q do not pretend to say that trees will spread clear to the coast of the Arctic Ocean, as blizzardS would probably be too severe for tree growth there, but I see no req

 Commander Sharp Presides
 The joint assembly was called to order at 10:10 a.m by First Vice Commander Maurice L. Sharp, of Anchorage. The invocation was given by Rev. Harry R. Allen, pas tor of the Resurrection Lutheran Church. Commander Sharp then introduced the Governor who de- clared it was an honor and privi- lcge to welcome the delegates to the city of Juneau.
 You have assembled to determine the future policies of the Legion in the Territory and on the results of your efforts the growth and sue cess If the organization will de- pend, he said. q am interested in this convention first, because I am a member of the Legion, and, second, because realize the poten- tial possibilities of this great or ganization as an agent in the pro- motion of public welfare"
 Initial Growth Passed
 The Governor pointed out that heretofore the several posts have been largely occupied in matters affecting primarily their existence, matters of organization, building of homes and providing for their equipment. Now, this stage has been passed and, he declared, the time has come for you to con- sioer definite program for united effort to be followed in the future. Every organization, if it is to en- dure, must have in view some defi- mite objective. The mere routine of meetings with an occasional so- cial gathering will not hold the attention of active men and women and the inevitable result will be decadence.
 T do not mean to imply that there should not be social activi- ties, on the contrary, the post  should be the center for social gath erings in every community, but I do contend that there must be some constructive program as an in- centive of the post, or auxiliary, is to keep it's place in the commun- ity life.'
 Aid Community Welfare
 Each community, Gov Parks noted, has it's own problems which offer opportunities for Legion serv- ice. In these lies the Legion's and Auxiliary's greatest field for mak- ing themselves a great factor for public good. He disclaimed any intention of offering a program but

Proposal Will Be Submitted at Regular Session

Collections Show Decided Increase Experts
 Work on Tax Issue

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. A substantial reduction in taxes, favored by President Hoover, will be recommended at the regular session of Con- gress in December by the Treasury Department to be- come effective next March 15 but what form this reduction will take has net been de- termined. This was learned at the Treasury Department to- day.
 The Governments financial condition in prospect for the coming year is regarded as warranting a tax reduction and with this in view, ex- perts will start work within week to determine h w much of a cut can be made and how it will be distributed.
 Financial officials pointeu ; o tinued prosperity and larg come tax collections as a base uaan which reduction can be naade.
 Since July 1, the Government ,s income has totalled $92f, ,237. .s1s while income tax collections up to September 20 have totalled Sl l,800,- 100000 an Increase over the same period of one year ago of s27l,- 100000.
 With continued prosperity, ex- perts feel income taxes will keep mounting to equal if not pass those of last year.
 Experts also feel that smaller margin than the usual $10O,OOO, ,O00 may safely be kept on hand with out complicating the Governments finances.
