AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE.

The Daily Telegraph of London,
commenting on the fact that differ
ences in language are at present a
barrier to international communica-
tions, foresees a time when one or two
languages will be understood the
world over. The linking up of the
telephone has given a strong impetus
to this movement.
once international telephony comes
into greater use, through a common
language, it will mean a great step
forward in promoting understanding
and frienuliness among the great ma
tons of the world.
Again American private initiative
and enterprise blaze trail for world
progress.

would have been much cheaper to
have put a pail of water on the fire
before it got started into the timber
and threatened hundreds of acres OF
scenery and caused the fire crews to
make hurried runs and much hard
work to subdue the conflagration.

Executive Assistant to Secretary Wilbur of the Interior Department. This sum was voted by the Cham Der on the recommendation from the Executive Board.
 A letter was received from Dr. Charles Firestone who with Mrs. Firestone is now in Vienna. They wished to be remembered to. their Juneau friends. He said he was boosting Alaska and feared in some quarters that he was regarded as qualified for membership in the Annanias Club. He enclosed a two-column clipping from the Paris Edition of the New York Herald relative to Alaska.
 Review of Finances
 A preliminary financial statement of the current year was submitted today by the Executive Committee. It showed receipts from all sources of S5,249.67 and disbursements of s5.098.5S as of October 31, last. The balance at that time was $151.09. Fourteen membership pledges were still outstanding, some of which have since been collected Secre- tary Boyle, whose term expired Oc- tober 31, declined to accept any salary for September and October,

acter and citizenship training he re- ceives now determines to large extent the value he has as an adult citizen, MT. Baker pointed out.
 Room For Expansion
 Although Juneau has three Boy Scout troops, there is room for growth here, he declared There could and should be at least room for growth here, he declared. There could and should be at least, twice as many Boy Scouts here as are now enrolled. And in addition Douglas should have one troop. Un- der proper leadership and having sympathetic support of the com munities these objectives would be attainable.
 The Scout movement aims to in- culcate in the boy a sense of relia- bility, sense of responsibility and upbuild sturdy, selfreliant charac- ters that will be reflected in im- proved citizenship for the future. MT. Baker said. The Scout law, the tests given, the system of merit badges, the entire program involv- ing both work and play, is directed toward such an end.
 Need Adult Cooperation
 It is true, he said, that the policy

what impressed them most of all. It wasn't the journey, the visit of the Prince ofSWales to the encampment or any other of the specially plan ned features. The Scout viewpoint was expressed by lad from Spo- kane, who voiced the view of his companions. It was the discovery that the French, English, German and other Scouts had the same ideals, the same spirit, the same oath and training and tests that the American Scouts had. They were not merely English, French, Spanish and German boys, they were Boy Scouts.
 Endorse Highway Bill
 Both the Ketchikan and Sitka Chambers of Commerce have ap- proved and adopted the resolution passed by the local Chamber in support of Delegate Sutherland's bill creating an International High way Commission. Communications from both were received by the Chamber today.
 An other communication from Ketchikan asked for a contribution of S7.50 to assist in defraying ex- penses for Alaska pictures pur- chased for Ernest Walker Sawyer,

refunding $1o0 to the Chamber for that period.
 Still Counting Noses Census authorities are still mop ping up the local field and last week 60 names were added to the loca! enumeration, according to E. M Goddard, c h rm of the Chambers Census Committee. The work will be continued for a time
 MT. Goddard pointed out that the halibut season will end next week and urged merchants and oth- CTS to see that fishermen are enum- erated. There are about 200, he said, that have not been counted to date.
 Cheap Rates on Cars
 -. Brice Howard. Chairman of the Transportation Committee and Ad- miral Line agent, called attention to the announcement yesterday of cheaper southbound rates on auto mobiles. Alaskans buying round- trip tickets to the States can ship their cars south with them for about one-half of the regular rate.
 Many people who take their old cars outside with them, trade them in on new cars before they return, MT. Howard said. For this reason

WILMA BRYANT IS
 STUDYING ABROAD;
 YEARS FOR ALASKA

Miss Wilma Bazant, Alaska's own violinist who will be remembered by Juneau music lovers as the talented young musician who ap- peared in artistic concerts given in this city about two years ago, is now in Pisek. Czechoslovakia, and yearns to return to her own AL aska.
 In a letter received by Mrs. John Rustgard, Miss Bazant said that both she and her mother often thought of the time when they would be able to return to their beloved Alaska as they felt that they like it better here than any where else in the world. Every once in a while" writes Miss Ba- zant, when I become particularly lonesome for Alaska I read some of the conversations of the sour doughs in Rex Beach's The Spoil CTS, and The Silver Horde and that seems to help little bit. We have just heard that an Alaskan from Cordova expects to come to Europe soon and will be here in Pisek around Christmas. That seems wonderful"
 Miss Bazant has been studying under Prof. Seycik, of Prague, Czechoslovakia, who is considered one of the great teachers of the violin in Europe, and who has written several studies in connec- ton with the technique of that in strument. Since last June, she has been studying under Professor Sevcik without charge and this | fact gives mute testimony of the recognition of her great talent by this well-known artist. In Europe, it is considered a great privilege to even be numbered as one of Prof. Sevcik's pupils.
 It is of interest to know that Miss Bazant has papeared as solo, ist in the leading symphony or chestra throughout Czechoslovakia.
