PILOTS AND PASSENGERS
 FEAST ON BLUBBER AND SEAL EXECUTE TO NOME
 FROM NORTH CAPE SIBERIA

This is not another Robert Ser true story of conditions that exist in northern Alaska and Northeast eTn Siberia, which deals with a trading vessel which successfully makes a journey from Seattle 'luring the past year to Kolyma, Siberia, and is returning to it's home port when over-taken by the Arctic ice pack and is forced ashore at Cape North, Siberia, with a cargo of approximately one mil lion and half dollars in fur,
 The vessel is the Nanuk owned ny the Swenson Fur Trading Con- pany. of New York, and which eniogsss concession iron, the So- -viet government to carry on trad ing operations along the Siberian coast. Olaf SwensoR the manager of the company is aboard the ves- se1 accompanied by his charming young daughter, who for several years attended the Nome Public School. hut of recent years has been attending school at Seattle, where her family resides. With them is the gallant crew strand ed on tie beach in the far off Arctic coast, many of whom are married and have loved ones aw- aiting their arrival in Seattle : Picture yourself in the place of these people, what would you do and what wouldn't you do to get back to your home and dear ones. Phat is the same question these people had to confront, and they met the situation by getting in touch with the radio service which the vessel enjoyed. They wired to Nome to make arrange ments with airplane companies to come to their assistance and 'o transport them and their val nable cargo of furs to the good old U, S. A. After considerable wiring forth and back, the Alas kan Airways Inc, were granted permits by the Soviet government to make the necessary trips to bring the passengers, and furs to Nome for transshipment to Seat -le
 How different things were few years ago, when vessels were caught in the Arctic ice packs with all perished and in few cases the crew would be saved after many months of hardship and short rations, they would finally reach shore only to find that they were many hundred of miles from civilization and would mush along the shores of Alaska or Siberia until they came across some na- tive igloos and were received by these primitive people who all ways gave them succor, in such cases.

Washington History
RY DoNALp a. CRAIG.

June e.. Is6e.--The proposed annex
alton Of Georgetown by the City OF
washington continues to be the most
important question now confronting the
citizens of the town on the west side
OF Rock Greek.
There is a large body Of the most
respectable citizens and property hold
srs OF GEORGETOWN claiming 70 De In
the ma jority who believe that the best
interests of their town will be sub
served by q union with Washington.
On the other hand. as Is well known
there is q party, which Is not wanting
IN influence nor inconsiderable In num-
oers. also claiming majority, made UP
OF citisens who can see In annexation
nothing but disaster and ruin for
Georgetown. The members of this lat
ter group contend that retrocession to
the State of Maryland Is the only road
to political power and commercial pros
perity for the people Of Georgetown.
Besides these two parties. there Is q
small but select band of conservatives,
who have adopted as their motto the
Latin sentence, "Cuieta non movere," :"
which Bulwer translates, when things
are quiet. let them be quiet" These
old fogies," as they are disrespectfuily
called, say that the people OF George
town ought to let well enough alone"
They think 1t Is better to have George
town free-"a little republic like San
Marino" as one Of the town fathers
calls it--than to sink her independence
and make her a suburban ward OF
growing city or an insignificant county
town Of populous State.
Under these conditions q resolution
was passed by the Georgetown board
OF aldermen, providing for the appoint
nent of the Hon. James Dunlop and
other gentlemen of standing to confer
with the authorities of washington on
terms and conditions. after which they
were to apply to Congress for the legis
lation necessary to take the sense Of
the people. A union of the two COM
munities was to be finally consummated
when a majority of each agreed to 1t.
At meeting of the city councils of
Georgetown tonight the mayor vetoed
this annexation resolution. It was at
once passed over the veto by the upper
board, but the board Of common council
failed to act
It appears. that the question Of an
nexation is still far from settled and
will continue to agitate Georgetown for
some time to come. regardless Of what
action the board aldermen may take.

This. however Is not true of the ostrich,
according to those familiar with the

peculiarly at times upon those af1icted

A small boy about 8 years old was
playing with some companions on the
third floor Of q house. The child's play
became horseplay and concluded by
the small lad being locked up in the
room. He heard the key turned in the
lock and caught the sound Of receding
footsteps. Fear assailed him. Probably
there Is nothing to compare with the
sensation of being locked in without
knowledge Of when one is going to be
released. The boy began to devise ways
and means OF escaping. First he tried
to force the door. His efforts were in
vain. He yelled but no one heard his
calls. Then he looked at the window.
There was the way out. Without
opening and decided to Jump. Grown
folks on the lawn looked up and were
borrified to see the little fellow perched
ready to leap. They shouted to him to
wait until they could rescue him. A
few minutes later he was safe and At
liberty again. AS frightened as he was
at being locked in, he apparently had
no fear Of jumping to what might have
been his instant death.
We once had Q classmate who was
known for his daring on the grtd1ron.

field and rated heroisin. A day came

Prejudice.

Prejudice. .
Text: "Seest thou q man wise In his
own conceit? there ii more hope Of o
fool than of him. PROV. 26:12.
Elsewhere Solomon says Of this man
that he Is wiser in his own conceit
than seven men that can render q
reason" The trouble is. in his conceit
this man has formed certain prejudices,
and he will stick to those pfejudices in
spite Of all reason.
You can more easily convince a fool
than You can convince q man against
his prejudices. Seven men that can
render a reason" would not be equal
to the job.
A prejudice is proof against any
assault. There is no kind Of logical
dynamite that can jostle 1t. All rea-
sonerS and thinkers, even an Aristotle,
or Plato, or Solomon, or Paul. are
helpless when they come to wrestle with
q prejudice.
Only a prejudice we sometimes
say. 1t would more truly represent the
dimculty to say, Alas it is prejudice! 7!
The case is well-nigh hopeless. AS well
say, only mountain"
Reason can be met with reason. facts
with facts, but a prejudice can be met
with nothing Facts and reasons are
not In its way: 1t stalks over them As
an elephant over grasehoppers--,incon-
scious Of their presence
A prejudice is deaf on one side. but
hears exceedingly well on the other
It cannot hear a thousand thunders on
one side, while on the other side It can
hear the ticking of watch q mile on
A prejudice has keen eyes, and yet is
totally blind. 1t can see q fly on the
