 Gerald J. Smith, representing the International Airways, said that company will have planes opera. ing between Seattle and Fairbanks two or three times weekly during the coming summer For the next IS months or two years it will make a survey between here and Anchorage and the Aleutian Islands with the view of ultimate ly establishing an aerial line be tween Seattle and the Orient.
 Other visitors at the meeting included E. M. Axelson, U. S. Commissioner at Yakutat, and J. s. M. Quist, head of the Ketchi- kan cable force.
 Want Basketball Series
 The Chamber today received a cablegram from the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce urging it to intercede with the local High School authorities in arranging a series of basketball games between Juneau and Petersburg S c h o o l teams. It said an offer had beer made to Juneau to go to Wran gell with a S250 guarantee, and another for a four-game series, two here and two at Petersburg, both of which were rejected.
 Supt. W. K. Keller said the school had rejected the offers be- cause for the past four years it's teams had been travelling to towns in the southern end of the Division with no games here. In so doing it had been put to some expense not covered by the guarantees and resulted in deficits in the Student Fund Treasury. It was felt that this year, if Petersburg desired a series, it's team should come here. He and Secretary Boyle were in structed to reply to the cablegram
 New Pamphlet Issued
 A new and revised edition of the Chambers publicity pamphlet was given to the Chamber today by M. D. Williams, Chairman of the Tourist Publicity Committee. Sev- eral thousand copies have been printed and copies may be ob- tained from Secretary Boyle. It is a 20-page booklet, well illus trated and finely written. The front cover page bears reproduc- tion of the Winter & Pond photo graph, Lights O Juneau" The pamphlet is two-color job and was printed by The Empire Print ing Company.

While in Washington, Major FL liott met many Alaskans includ- ing Gov. Parks, District Forester Charles H. Flory, Col. Ohlson, general manager of The Alaska Railroad, Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, and Gen. Wilds P. Richardson, who, he said, is still keenly interested in ale matters pertaining to Alas ka.
 Major Elliott attended two lec- lures on Alaskan subjects while in the national capital. One was an illustrated lecture given by Engi- neer Capps and Fitzgerald of the U. s. Geological Survey in the In terior Department building audi torium. It dealt with their ex- plorations in the Mt. Spur region. The second was delivered by Dr. Jaggar on the volcanology of the Alaska Peninsula region and YVES under the auspices of the Nation al Geographic Society. Both were largely attended by people inter- ested in the Territory.
 Enroute north, Major Elliott was joined at Ketchikan by M jorl Douglas H. Gillette and with him and representatives of the steam ship interests, log-towing interests and the U. s. Lighthouse Survey, made an inspection of Wrangell Narrows for the purpose of draft ing traffic regulations that will prevent interference between the several classes of traffic using the channel The matter, he said is still under consideration.

TAYLOR TELLS
 OF ROAD SHOW
 ALASKA BOOTH
Describes Educational Dis play Others Make
 Talks to Chamber

The Alaska exhibit at the Good Roads Show staged in Cleveland, Ohio. last month was educational and should result in increased travel to the Territory from the interest displayed by Nthose who visited it, declared Ike P Taylor. principal speaker at the Chamber of Commerce today. Mir Taylor who is assistant engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, attend ed the Show as Alaskan delegate.
 The ,..,.i1it was entirely pictor- al. showing agricultural sections, scenery, mining industry and oth- CT Alaskan subjects. They were tinted by NJ. D. Williams. The display attracted considerable at fention from visitors to the expo sition and MT. Taylor was kept busy answering questions regard ing the Territory and it's possi- bilities. The prize query, however was: "Is Alaska owned by the United States or is it just a pro tectorate?r MT. Taylor also dis tributed 5000 pamphlets furnished him by the various chambers of commerce and steamship compan- ies.
 Seeks No Credit
 Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Commission, told the Cham ber that credit for Alaskan appro- priations in excess of sums recom- mended by the Bureau of Budget was due to Congressional commit tees and individual members of the Senate and House and not to him. self He said as an officer of the Government he could not lob by" for funds not approved in the budget, and that it was through fhe active interest of committees and members of Congress that amounts exceeding the budget al lowances were made available.
 Post Office Errs
 It is not an uncommon matter for private concerns, such as wholesale houses and railroads. to believe that Alaska is ice-bound in the winter months, that is not news. But when Uncle Sam's em- ployees begin to spread abroad that kind of propaganda it is time to call halt. So said Fred Sorri to the Chamber today. Re- gently he ordered some tin foil for his famous Alaska Dry" gin. ger ale bottles from big Chica- go house. On the latest mail he received a letter from the firm saying the parcel had been re- jected for parcel post shipment by the Chicago postoffice and in formed the shipper that no parcels could be dispatched to Alaska be- fore next May.
 The Chamber will call t i S to the attention of the Postal duluOTllitS anu odSSCSI tAot PND' offices be circularized regarding the Alaska postal service.
 Pass Two Resolutions
 The Chamber today passed two resolutions, one expressing It's ap- preciation to Senator and Mrs. Lawrence c. Phipps for the activ- ity they have taken in Alaskan af- fairs. Senator Phipps was part ly responsible for the quick ac- ton taken on the Alaska capital building appropriation and aided D-. Charles E. Bunnell in his work in Washington.

ed the system in vogue at the HARDWOOD
Mental Hospital In Scotland in en-

line of occupational labor. The most
important result is that it seems to aid
very materially in the restoration to
normalcy. The choice of occupation is
left to the patient and for that reason
all are engaged in a work which has
interest. Some work in the garden,
others do the regular work of the in
stitution, such as operating the cleo
trio light plant or assisting in the
kitchen. With patients who are beyond

popular: China painting, enameled

decorative craft work, brass work, pew

Electrical World says that the volume
of business in electrical equipment was
about normal last week, with a moder.
ate gain in the demand for industrial
apparatus. Utility companies are busy
with new construction work which is
reflected in orders placed. Maintenance
purchases are relatively large. Demand
for small motors continues fairly active
especially in the East. Business in the
Middle West is reported to be holding
at a steady level, while in the south
small orders are the rule, The total
volume, however, is up to the average

rise in stocks based upon bank credit.
On the other hand, as soon as a de-
cline starts call rates usually drop and
stocks begin to climb again. Rapidly
changing call rates have been largely
responsible for the lack of definite
stock price trend during the past few
weeks.
Loan Discussion Continues.
The discussion of the brokers' loan
situation which has so long held the
attention of the country, continued to
bring forth sharp differences of opinion.
Prof. o. NJ w. Sprague of Harvard
asked for an immediate advance in the
rediscount rate, believing that the flow
of funds into the stock market will
be injurious to business. The Harvard
Economic Society believes that the pres
ent level of call rates will remain until
mid-July, at which time an acute
shortage of credit and still higher cali
rates may develop as business credit
needs again increase. Both views seem
to assume that brokers loans cannot
be reduced except by drastic methods.
E. H. H. Simmons, president of the
Stock Exchange, defended brokers'
loans. In speaking of the trend toward
common stock financing, he held the
Federal Reserve banks themselves re-
SpOIlSlDIe IOT The HOW Oh money lI1JO
brokers loans during the past year.
His theory is that the money Tightening
policy of the Reserve banks caused
high money rates originally. Then,
because they did not clarity their po-
sition, large lenders, being uncertain
of future developments, turned to call
loans. since they are the safest form
of security known and yield the
highest rate of interest.
BY this he explained the large in
crease in loans by other than bank
lenders. Mr.. Simmons believes that
these loans of Others" would normally
be invested In securities and that they
will eventually find their way into those
permanent investments If stock mar
ket decline begins. In that event, they
will serve as buffer rather than a
menace. as many bankers claim.
Utilities Feature.
While most stocks lost ground for the
week certain ones moved upward
against the trend. There was persistent
strength in the stock of United Corpora
ion, the Morgan-Drexel-B onbright COM
pany. which is expected to accom-
plish the unif1cation of the At
iantic Seaboard utilities. This was re-
f1ected by rising prices throughout the
public utility list and, as is usually the

Link Between Two Rivers.

What is called the Casiquiare
Canal" in Southern Venezuela is not
canal at ALL but a natural stream
which connects two rivers which are
flowing in different directions, and 1t is
said to be the only river which acts in
this manner. There is said to be a
very small stream in the Rocky Noun
tains which divides itself, and part OF
its waters find its way into the Pacific,
while the remainder finally gets to the
Atlantic. Many writers who have had
occasion to refer to the cratic behavior
of the Casiquiare state that it flows
one way at times and in another direc-
ton at other times, but recent inves-
LEGATIONS have proven that this is not
so, and the waters of the Casiquiare
invariably flows in one direction from
the Orinoco to the Rio Negro, which
is a branch of the Amazon. The
mouths of these two streams are sepa-
rated by thousands of miles.
