lit plays in the lives of human well anim and plant life.
 Said Dr. Wilbur
 This remarkable substance has the capac- ity of uniting water and the carbon dioxide of the air in such way that food can be produced Upon this food we are de- pendent for lives The milk for our babies the clothes for our backs, come indirectly from chorophyl
 Chlorophyl requires water and sunshine for it's activity. The control of our water supply depends in turn upon the control of plant life. Our forests, our cotton and fields, all require the mastery of chorophy if we are to hold in hands the future of the human race.v
 We have or less taken all of this for granted, and now, with the rapid in- in population and the tendency of human beings to breed up to the bread line we must scientifically and thoroughly face hclorophyl engineering as our most out standing problem.
 With the Secretary of Interior directing thu study of chlorophyl and the Law Enforcement Com mission studying prohibition, if any, and other re lated subjects the Hoover administration in at leas two branches promises to be kept busy and happy for the next four years

Bridging the Distances.
(Anchorage Times.)

The arrival here Saturday of the Gorst amph- ban Alaskan with it's party of goodwill excursion ists from Cordova marked very important step forward in the development of commercial aviation in Alaska, forming, it did the connecting link in the chain of aerial communication which now encircles virtually the entire northand, starting at Seattle and extending to the northmost limits of the Territory
 The visit of the Alaskan also served to bridge the distance between two very important Alaskan communities establishing a contact which promises better mutual understanding and the building up of friendships which will be increasingly helpful to Anchorage and Cordova and to the Territory generally. It will be followed by other excursions or similar character and eventually by the inaug- uration Of regular service between the two con- munities and between the more distant cities of Southeastern Alaska and the interior
 It was happy thought of the Chamber to n- vte Captain Scott to bring his big plane to An chorage and happier thought on the part of those Cordova citizens who avaed themselves of the on portunity to make the personal delivery of the Copper Citys message of good will

TOURISTS INSTEAD OF CROPS

The Springfield Republican suggests that the solu-
tion of their economic difficulties for most New Eng
land hill towns probably lies in their development of
the summer visitor" business 1t points out that
New England agriculture is almost hopeessly handi
capped, but that New England's attractions
resort almost unparalleled; and it remarks
that the section might well devote itself wholeheared
ly the cultivation of its charms vacation ground
Many hard-up farmer has eked out the scanty
derived from his crops by taking in summer
boarders;" !" and in this motorized many farmer
has prosperity by putting tourist camp on his
land. But for entire section of the country to
make that of activity its chief business would, in
all truth, be something
There is, in fact, to this proposal than meets
the eye We have not been able to quite where
increasing urbanzation is leading but the
slant spread of rapid transit facilities and the grow
ing of the automobile, the verge of revers
ing the steady clustering of people together great
cities And it would not be out of line with modern
tendencies for whole states to exist chiefly vacation
grounds
We getting to be people who ignore distances.
Suburbs continually moving farther and farther
away from the CITY, Vacationiss continually GO
ing farther and farther afied. The automobile has
put the whole country within a short distance of
doorsteps the arplane evidently, will make it
closer. Why should not the hill towns of New Eng
land definitely plan to capitalize that Development
Anyone who has toured New England must realize
that New England has magnificent advantages
vacation ground. New England not designed for
agriculture; but it does to have been made to
order for visitors. Perhaps the Springfield paper
suggests its salvation lies right there.

A CAUSE FOR CIVIC PRIDE

How important is the work of the juvenile court,
anyway?
Good Housekeeping Magazine sent Elizabeth Fra
staff writer to look into the question recently
and Miss Frazer made some rather surprising dis
coveries.
Where Juvenile court is properly manned and
is directed with intelligence, she found it an almost
priceless force for good But often, she discovered,
the Juvenile court failed of its purpose simply because
1t wasn't being handled in the right
AS example of what good juvenile court
do Miss Frazer cites conditions in Cincinnati, where
the court is under the direction of Judge Charles W.
Hoffman, of the nations leading juvenile author
tiles.
There 1900 boys in the Ohio state industrial
school, but only IL of them from Cincinnati,
ond largest city in the state
Hamilton county, in which Cincinnati is located,
has fewer inmates in the states penentiary proper
ton to its population than any other county in the
sate-including the most sparsely settled rural
counties.
Surely, those two facts enough to prove that
good juvenile court is of the strongest assets city
have Yet Miss Frazer estimates that at least 90
per cent of all juvenile courts fail utterly of their
purpose; fail because the judge inficts punishment
without trying to get at the of delinquency,
because they understaffed and under-trained.
"Womens organizations do everything to
remedy these conditions if they WILL she writes.
First, they should determine if the judge is real
juvenile court judge, employing every available
to assist children and turn them from wrong doing
Next, they should determine if the probation officers
trained workers merely political appointees.'
The way to reduce crime is to begin with good

titled to do some Dragging.

hitting it, that she began to quack
loudly.
"Qlack! Quack! Quackl" cried
Lulu. ''I'm a good shot! Whoo
hoo,'
She was quacking this way in
front of her house when her mother
put her head ou1 of the second story
window and said quietly:

Lulu, my dear. L am trying. to get
your sister Sippy to sleep and you

''All right, MAJ" quacked Lulu.

"ma" as Jimmie did. But for all
that she was polite enough.
Mrs. Wibblewobble Grew, her head
in from the window and went on
softly quacking a sleepy song for
sister Sippy, when Lulu forgot about
being quiu. and quacked loudly once
more.

Uncle Wiggily was wondering and
wondering why Lulu had clothes
pin on her beak and he was thinking
perhaps it was a new style for duck
girls and he didn't want to show
his ignorance by asking too much,
when all of sudden, out of the
bushes popped the Fox behind the
rabbit. 1t i. <H1
The Fox was just going to casch
up Uncle Wiggily and run off with
him to the den in tve woods, when
Lulu, seeing the Bad Chap, took the
clothes pin off her beak and pinch
ed it on the end of the Fox's tail.
"Oh, my goodness me sakes alive
and bottle of ginger ale!" cried
the surprised Fox and he turned
around to bit the clothes pin off his
tail and got dizzy and fell down and
bumped his nose and nhen he didn It
think any more about catching I'm
Gle Wiggily.
"Quack! Quaekl Quack!" cried
Lulu loudly, glad she had saved Un-
cle Wiggily. Once more Mrs. Wlb-

window. But when she heard what
had happened she said Lulu was Il
good girl and didn't need to stop
quacking any more for sister Sippy
