about the fabric used in bibs and it's
attractiveness to the child, and they
recommend improved styles of bibs
which train the child in self-help.
Ratine and Japanese cotton crepe are
favored because they are soft and
semi-absorbent, easily washed and re-
quire no ironing. These materials
prevent the food which the child spills
from dropping to the floor, and can be
used as napkins. Children love pretty
colors, and interest, can be added to
the wearing of the bibs by making
them OF different cclors bound with
white or Of white bound with color.
One successful bib developed by the
bureau is of white ratine, bound with
bias tape in color. This binding Ia
extended at the neck line into 1S-inch
strings which are put through eye
lets on opposite sides Of the neck and
then fastened to small brass or bone
rings. The bib has no right or wrong
side, and the child has only to get
both strings over his head and pull
on the rings as in the Illustration, and
the bib is adjusted snugly around the
neck. If the strings are thrown back
over his shoulders they form lock
which holds the bib securely in place
throughout the meal. To get it off,
| the child takes hold Of it at each side
of the neck and pulls 1t out and
down. Even twcyear-old may be
taught to manage this bib without help.
Anyone can easily cut pattern for
this bib. The United States bureau of
home economics in Washington will
furnish diagram If needed, but 1t
does not have patterns of this or any
1 other garments for sale.

The American Obelisk

"A BOUT forty years ago the then
khedive of Egypt, Isnail Pasha,
presented one Of the forty-two known
obelisks in the world to the city ii
New York. The city of New York
caused IT to be erected upon a prom
inent spot in its great Central park
and, Just as the pasta probably sur
missed, 1t since has proved to be an
object of marked curiosity 10 the mil
lions of Americans who have seen 1t.
This is the only Egyptian obelisk
In America. Only five of the other
forty-one are larger. 1t is composed
of syenite-a stone which greatly re-
sembes granite, SO feet high, Z
feet 8 inches square at the base,
tapering to 5 feet inches at the top,
is mounted on 2-foot base and
weighs PA tons.
Its surface is covered with his.
toric inscriptions cut in Egyptian
hieroglyphics, which are somewhat
obliterated on one side, due it's said
to exposure to the sand storms of the
desert Experts declare that It has
aged and been injured more since it
has been in America Than in all the
centuries OF Its previous existence,
owing to the changcableness of our
climate compared to that 'of Egypt
Accordingly, it has been coated with
q preservative material to stop fur
Their damage by the weather.
History records that this obelisk
was originally erected at Heliopolis,
but was moved to Alexandria about
the Twelfth century by Augustus

and dates back fifteen centuries before
the coming of Christ or to the reign
of ThOtmes Ill.

HUNDRED ALAsKANS MAY NOW BECOME
 CITIZENS 0F ]. 5.

More than 100 persons residing in Alaska who have been unable to lobtain final naturalization papers, because there is no record of their admission for permanent residence at the port thru which they claim ed to have entered the United States can now become citizens under a law passed by congress at the last session. This was pointed out by w. G. Strench, district direc- tor of immigration at Ketchikan, in a letter to the Gateway.
 Provision has been made for such entries if admission occurred prior to June 3, 1921, if the alien has resided in the United States continuously since such en- ltry; if he is person of good moral character, and if he is not subject to deportation" said Mr Strench.
 The procedure for accomplish ing for the legalization of these en templates at this time~ an examina- tion similar to the one which the applicant should have undergone Ut the time he came into the coun- try"
 Tn Alaska, the mater of arrang- ing for the legalization of htese en- tries is under the jurisdiction of the district director of immigration at iKetchikan who has indicated that those interested should communi- cate with him and make request for registration blank forms. During July or August, an inspector of the United States Immigration Service will visit various parts soon to conduct the examinations.
 It is pointed out that from the entry records to be made under this new law, certificates of arrival will be prepared and filed in the appro- priate district court, after which the matter of naturalization can be proceeded with.

OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE

Appropos of the forthcoming visit to Alaska of Assistant Secretary of the Interior Ernst w. Sawyer obtudes the tmehonored proverb: Tn time of peace prepare for war"
 The in this instance embraces the entire Alas ka question: Mr. Sawyers visit will be in the nature of voyage of discovery. He will wish to know what Alas kans desire. How we'll these desires presented and in what spirit will go far to determine if the official visit will fructify into something paatable to the idents of the Territory
 Street corner sessions and open forums around a stove will not accomplish the results desired yet in this public expression may be had which will exert influence upon those whose position forces them in to the spotlight to voice public opinion
 It has been the plant of every high official of the government from the late President Harding down to the last visitor that appears impossible to open expression from those most valy affected by Fed eral regulations.
 The time is propitious for organized bodies of what complexion to get together in general discussion of policies desired thresh out the material and have concrete program to present to Assistant Secretary Saw yer along with that is the product of pub lie opinion and not that of few selfish individuals
 The first action of the Administration with respect to Alaska demonstrated that is the desire of President Hoover and his Cabinet to produce actual results in the Territory instead of considering the matter in the ab stract If further progress is desired is the time to prepare the program and have ready for the dis tinquished visitor

1 NAVAL FLYERS OFF TO SITKA
Leave Ketchikan Today No Word as to When Ex-
 petition Will Come Here

Although no direct word has been received here today from the Navy aerial mapping expedition, the fly CTS left Ketchikan this morning for Sitka, according to informa- tion received by Commissioner Charles H. Flory, of the Depart ment of Agriculture. It was not known when they would come here.
 MT. Flory cabled R. H. Sargent, topographer of the party, at Ket- chikan this morning. He was noti- fled by the cable service that de- livery was not effected owing to the fact that the planes had left today for Sitka.
 Last week, MT. Sergeant wired from Ketchikan saying the party would take off from there for Ju- neau as soon as favorable flying weather was had. Since that time nothing has been heard from the expedition. It is expected, how ever, that the planes will come here direct from Sitka.

NINE-YEAR-0LD LAD FRACTURES
 SKULL IN FALL
Lawrence Purjue Falls 100 Feet on Basin Road,
 Injuring Head

Lawrence Purjue, Swear -old son of MT. and Mrs Oscar Purjue, is in St. Ann's Hospital suffering from a fractured skull as the result of a fall at 4::30 o'clock yesterday after noon, of about 100 feet from Cape Horn, on the Basin Road. He passed a good night and is said to be in fair condition this morning.
 The lad was picking flowers on one side of the road when he slip ped and fell and rolled down the rocky slope nearly to the creek. Alden Torgerson, IT years old, who was on the road at the time, saw the fall and hurried down the steep hill to the boys aid. When he got to the boy he found him un- conscious. He washed his face and head in the water from the creek then carried him across the basin to the Alaska Juneau mess hall where Frank Hermann, stew ard, applied first aid.
 When his head had been cleaned and bandaged as well as possible, he was carried to the road and brought into the hospital in a motor, where the boy received medi- cal attention.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 27.-Thirty ,hree young men, riding spidery toy automobiles, will dare the ough brick rim of the Indianapo- is motor speedway May 30 to win l portion of the $100,000 purse to be awarded for the 5O0-mile grind.
 Forty-siX have entered, but only B may qualify.
 Seventeen years ago the first mo- or race was held at the speedway. Once a year since then the fame and fortune that goes to the win ner have lured the racers.
 This race is the last for the single seated machines. Next year the cars will be two-seaters, and the motors will be larger. Since 1926 ,he machines have been powered with tiny engines of 9115 cubic inch displacement.
 The front-wheel driven machine will make it's greatest bid for racing anne on Memorial day. Fifteen of he 46 cars entered are of that type
 Proponents of the front drive car declare it is the ideal type for the rough, sharp turns of the speed way, eliminating or holding to minimum, the skidding and loss of ipeed Then a driver may safely pile into the turns without shut ting off his gas. In fact he must do it to stay in the race.
 Those who favor the rear drive point out that all the. winners have been of that type The new type machine, they claim, is too delicate to stand the gruelling 800 miles.
 Only a few of the old-timers of the game are on the track this year. Leon Duray is one of the veterans among youngsters. So is Cliff Durant, the millionaire driver.
 Of the younger school will be Louis Meyer, 1928 winner; Tony Gullotta, who had the race in the sack last year until his gas tank cracked; Lou Moore, and Peter De- Paolo, the 1925 winner
 Norman Batten, who thrilled the crowd two years ago when he brought his flaming machine to the pit, himself seriously injured, will be absent. So will be Earl De Wore. They went down with the steamer

TEXAS MAN TO STUDY MARBLE
 FLY PARASITE
]. E. Dove Assigned to AL aska to Investigate
 Parasite of Reindeer

J. E. Dove, Etomologist of the U s. Bureau of Biological Survey, has been assigned to the Territory to make an investigation of parasites preying on reindeer herds in north ern Alaska, it was announced today by Gov. George A. Parks. The work is to be done under law passed by the late Alaska Legislature which appropriated S10,000 to inves- tigate the warble fly and other par asites that have attacked the herd on Seward Peninsula.
 MT. Dove has been working for sometime in Texas, studying para sitic diseases affecting the livestock industry in that State. Director Paul c. Redington of the Biological Survey recommended him for the Alaska undertaking, saying he was one of the bureaus most highly qualified men and fitted both by training and experience for the in vestigation here.
 The etomologist will leave Dal- las, Tex, June 3, for Seattle. He will come here for a conference with Gov. Parks and Commissioner Charles H. Flory, of the Depart ment of Agriculture, and later go to Fairbanks to discuss the work he is to do with Lawrence J. Palm CT, in charge of the reindeer experi- ment station at the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines. MT. Palmer made some reindeer investigations a few years ago for the Biological Survey.
 From Fairbanks MT. Dove will proceed to the Seward Peninsula, going via the Yukon River districts where reindeer growing is estab- lished. He will look over these herds then go to Nome to begin his study of the large herds in that part of the Territory. He will make his headquarters in Nome while he is engaged in the investi- gations.
