RADIO PROGRAM ENJOYED

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Thorp
who installed Holster radio in the
Senior High School assembly the
students were enabled to hear the in
auguration ceremonies of President
Hoover and Vice President Curtis.
The morning classes ended at 1854
O'Clock so to enable us to listen in on
the more important proceedings. We
wish someone would be so kind as to
install radio for us permanently.

JUNIOR HIGH NOTES

The six weeks tests have found
their way to us again. We hope they
won't cause any red marks to be plac-
ed on our Report Cards."
Last Thursday an interesting pro-
gram was given before the assembly
A few students helped. Mr.. Macs
gave a very interesting talk on Pa

ed to be inspired greatly by this
talk.

TARDIES MUST GO

A heavier penalty than we now
carry is likely to be placed on tardi-
ness if they continue in such enorm-
Gus quantities. Comparing this period
of six weeks with the last, our tardi-
nesses were 81 to CT respectively.
There were 60 students neither. alb

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

THE summer passed. One day
Il Howell realized that the CAL
endarS were saying September"
Back home the leaves were begin
ming to turn. Young people in Fair
fax were making preparations to re-
turn to school. Not his classmates,
however,
Most of them already would be
hard at work as internes in various
city hospitals. He, himself, If he
had finished, now would be dealing
with the grim realities of life and
death instead of their more pleas
ant limitations.
There were times when he felt his
present life to be artificial and shall
low. He had been too rigidly trained
to conform without some distress to
Hollywood points of view.
But these feelings were only tenn
porary. He could call Dimples or
one of the fellows Dimples had in
troduced and quickly dispose of his
depression. He had learned by now
that no one had any use for any
one who was slow" The pretenSe
of high spirits often could lift one
from the most discouraging slough
of despond. And most people were
laughing to conceal troubles Of their
own.
He began to drink little. Not
much, but enough not to be wet
blanket" to the crowd. Privately
he thought the synthetic gin they
consumed was lawful and he was
afraid of it, just as he was afraid
to make love to the girls whose vul-
gar remarks and casual embraces
announced that they were any
mans property.
| After an evening at one of the
| parties Dinples' friends put on, he
found himself longing for Madalyn.
She might be dangerous, but she
always was at least sweet and clean.
And she had apparently ceased to
expect anything.
She was accepting his occasional
attentions with a wiStful eagerness
which appealed to him.
Sally, so far as he was concerned,
had ceased to exist. He met her
sometimes, breezing in and out with
her notebook under her arm. Very
often when he returned in the early
morning a light would be shining
from her windows.
Evidently she was not lacking for
entertainment. But he did not per-
NIT the thought of her to disturb
him. What she did with her time
most emphatically did not concern
him, and when Mrs. Benton tried to
interest him in the matter, he told
her so frankly.
Lambie, on the other hand, was
becoming more of a problem. She
had refused to accept his attempts
to pay an 'installment" on the
| loans.
Don't be silly, Howell. I don't
expect you to pay that back"
But I want to. I wouldn't have
taken it otherwise"

CHAPTER TWENTY-O ONE (Con-
tinued)

1t was pleasant to be making
enough money so that he didn't
have to worry about meals. Once
or twice a week 'Lambie" insisted
that he dine with her. The old
stove was rarely used any more ex-
cept for breakfast.
Gone, too, were the days of loneli-
ness and longing for masculine
companionShip. Although different
from the fellows he had known at
school, he had struck up a friend
ship with Dimples
Dimples was an "old timer" was
able to give Howell tips and let
him in on the inside dope" that
makes UP large part of an extras
life. He found the composite dream
of all the extras he met was to be-
come a star. Sometime, somewhere,
q director was going to notice their
Swork."
Regardless of the fact that day
after day and week after week
nothing happened to justify such an
ambition. Tales were whispered of
how certain extras" had found or
star had been made" over night.
Other stories not so pleasant were
also repeated.
Howell found that two or three
extras gathered together could
"spill more dirt than any group
of university students he had ever
known. How in the world did they
know so much? How could they
ind out the most intimate details
OF any other persons life?
At first disguised, he learned to
listen with more or less apprecia-
ton. In the midst of picture he
often wondered If the stories he
had heard about that particular di-
rector or star were true. Certainly
nothing was seen in the studios to
Justify the never-ending scandals.
Rather reluctantly he kept his
promise to call for Madalyn, keep
ing his head with such cold-blooded
efficiency that she was troubled.
He became an adept at answering
her bewildered questions.
whats the matter, Howell?
Don't you like me any more?"

 15TH OF THIS MONTH

Bv the 18th of this month the Pioneer Coal Co.,, located at Moose Creek Spur, will be supplying the Alaska market with Black Diamond coal, according to Evan Jones, coal mining man who has been associat- ed with the development of the Territory's coal fields for years past and who is a brief visitor in Seward today.
 While in the city Mr. Jones will make arrangements for local dis tribution. A number of Seward people are financially interested in this new coal mining concern.
 Regarding the progress of work MT.

PUPILS, MATURE AGE

WASHINGTON, Sept, 6, R,- The number of people of mature age going to school in 1927-28 in creased 30 percent over the num- Der registered for class work the year before, it was stated by the Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior. In 1926-27. 200 GOO adults were enrolled, and that number increased in 1927-28 to 100000.
 Youth has 10 advantage in learning over maturity, the Bureau further states. It is inclined to be- believe, in fact, that when man Of 45 and youth of 20 are set to wrastle with any problem that con s+itutes an element in education, the older man, because of his ex- perience and judgment, will more thoroughly master it.

 ACTUAL WORK LOCAL.
 LANDING FIELD, s0ON

Actual work in clearing the Seward airplane landing field will
 begin the forepart of next week, stated Sam Romak yesterday, who has been awarded the contract by the Alaska Road Commission.
 MT. Romak, who is not unknown in these parts as contractor as he has previously successfully completed various road projects, says that his contract calls for clearing the overgrowth, trees, and shrubbery, and also stripp- ing the moss, but does not call for leveling the field. This will probably be done next spring.
 The job aggregates an area of l2 acres and Contractor Romak anticipates no difficulty in turn ing the completed job over to the 4. R. C., in the specified time, 60 days He is making ar- engagements today to use a tract or on the work for the purpose of pulling stumps.
 The sum of $6.000 has been ap- for this work bv the City of Seward and Territory but, it is said, when the field is full Iy completed, the investment will oe closer to $2O,OOO. A large tract of aside from this 12 acres was donated to thee City of Sew ard by H. V. Hoben, prominent local citizen and one Of the most influential of Alaska business men.

DAN QUIxOTE

CerVanteS lampooning the Age of Chivalry, dresses his hero in arm or of tin and sends him forth to do battle.

 Our Dan" whom we sent to Washington to represent us; to try and obtain relief for Alaska from the burdens which oppress our people, must have taken Dan QuiXote as a model. Instead of using little diplomacy, he has consistently fought windmills un- til he has busted his pick, bent his spear and rendered himself about as useful as a tallow dog in Hades.
 When will the people of Alaska cease to vote for a man whose only aim seems to be to line his pockets with the generous salary and expense account the Govern ment pays him while he spends his time vilifying the people to whom we must look for aid?

E[)IIORIAI.
GASOLINE FROM LIGNITE COAL

The Ignite and coal fields of Alaska, said to be the largest in the world, are certain in time to furnish the principal supply of gasoline and other by-products to the consumers of the United States. The German chemical process by which Ignite is re- duced to toal tar, and the coal tar then distilled indentically as natural oil is distilled, producing the same results, is more and more the sensation of the oil and coal world
 Fifteen thousand men are em- loved in Germa building plants to treat German Ignite: America and England are following suit.
 The time will come when the oil wells of the United States will go dry, as they have done in many sections. That time is not so far off
 But long before that time, the cheapened process of distilling Ignite coal tar will bring the Alaska Ignite fields into com- mercial use on a large scale
 It is not stretching the imag- ination to visualize the port of Seward as one of the biggest shipping centers in the world for gasoline, distillate, fuel and other by-products, obtained from the 50,OoO,OOO,OO0 tons of Ignite tri- butary to the Alaska Railroad.
 That enormous Ignite field can supply the United States in gas oline and fuel oil at the present rate of consumption for 500 years.

A recent news excerpt read as follows: Existence of the Alaska bear, the largest living carnivore, was unknown until 1896."
 Strange as it may seem, Alas ka abounds with several species of bear, largest of which is the brown bear. The time is probit- ious for our officially styled del- egate to tell the world, among other things, that they were known, hunted, trapped and kill ed, long before 1896.

On last Tuesday evening about
5:45 railroad engineer stuck his
head out the window of an engine
cab here in Red Lodge and craned
his neck back toward the rear of a
long string of some forty stock cars
all loaded, sealed and ready for a fast
run to Billings on their way to Chi
cago. The conductor in the rear
glanced at his watch, gave him the
high sign, swung aboard. The bell

cordial welcome and shown all over

also have liberal supply of rabbits,

On last Saturday afternoon the

take few hours vacation and left a

visitors was a lady from somewhere

She said, "You don't mean that
that is where we get our fox furs
FROM" And he said, Eyes, that
neckpiece you have on is from the
fur of a silver fox"
She then asked him how they got
the fur off the fox and he said, "We

Then she asked how many. times
they skinned the fox He didn't know
that but he had to appear to know it
He said, "Well, "I'll tell you, we car

we have to turn them loose"
