BETTER CITIZENSHIP THROUGH
 BETTER NEWSPAPERS"
By c. c. YoUNGGREEN,

President International Advetising Association
 Better Citizens Through Better Newspapers" That is almost automatic The best parents turn out the best children the best teachers turn out the best students the best firms turn out the best work CTS. And surely any improvement in "the poor mans university" and the rich mans postgraduate" must result in better readers-better men and women better citizens.
 q see by the papers" can become battle slo- gan. Cold type has tremendous effect on the mind. And the newspaper, with it's constant con- tact with the mind must perforce have great power in its influence.
 Take a newspaper which has proven its value; which has proven it's reliability in presenting facts and not biased rumors; which has consistently op- ened it's columns only to advertisers in whose in tegrity has full confidence; fearless, honest pro- gressive
 Hand that newspaper to thousand, ten thou sand, five hundred thousand individuals in any locality and see what concerted idea you will have brought forth.
 Such paper is an institution; it is force which governs it develop the minds and the morals of it's into almost any shape it desires And with such a paper I have described, under the direction of the sort of who alone would have such ideals clean minded forward looking patriotic any community well hold ,-itself as highly blessed.
 The paper, the contrary, which caters to the baser human clements which displays for the sat- isfaction of morbid curiosity the frailties and TOTS and the misfortunes of fellow beings, not only soils it's hands in the muck in which it deves but works irreparable harm the most impression- able part of it's community.
 And if the public would take the pains, by due acknowledgment to make their choice between filth and cleanliness, between progress and retrogres- betW ctices then we would find publishers shouldering their heavy burdens with the satisfaction of know ing their fellow citizens back of them.
 fine community will not necessarily produce fine paper, fine newspaper always produce a fine community; but when both work together for the good of all, there can be doubt to the result. *

If Estimates Are the Fashion.
Engineering and Mining JournaD

Engineering and Mining Journal0
 Mining men in Africa rightly proud of the Rhodesian copper field and when anyone underestimates it's importance, they take great pains to set the erring the righ track. Thus the South African Mining and Engineering Journal, on reading estimate by Canadian authority that places United States copper production in 1887 at 100000 tons, and Chilean, African, and Canadian production at 100000 tons each, points out that Union Miniere alone will probably be producing 100000 tons by that time, and that Roan Antelope and NKana together will probably be able to produce another 100000 tons. This makes 100000 tons for Africa without taking NChanga Mufulira Chambesi Bwana MKubwa, Kansanshi or Nam aqua into account. To us, the figure for Chile rather low Production from that country was at the rate of more than 30,000 tons a month in January, 1929 although Braden output was tenn porarily cut in half at that time The three leading Chilean producers have equipped capacity at present reserves sufficient to insure production at that rate for many years
 As a matter of fact, the Canadian estimate to which our South African contemporary took excep- tion rather conservative. It allowed prodllc- tion in 1937 of only 100000 tons of copper from the four countries mentioned Even assuming A substantial amount, say 500000 tons for countries other than those included in this estimate total production in 1887 would be placed at but 22OOOOO tons of copper which, in view of recent develop ments, seems low
 The most interesting point that this discussion brings up seems to us to be the fact that the production from Africa, Chile, and Canada will all be at a comparatively low cost This is also true of some of the American companies with large reserves

The First Skyscraper Passes.
CNew York World.)


 The earliest definition of skyscraper, according to Col. w A. Starrett, noted authority build ing, occurs in Maitland's Dictionary of American Slang published in 1891 and is as follows: "A very tall building such being built in Chi cago" And now word comes from Chicago that the first of the worlds skyscrapers has fallen into the hands of a wrecking company and is soon to meet the fate of the Tower of Babel This structure or iginay only ten stories high with several stories subsequently, added would not be regarded as tall building in these days, but it's completion in 1885 marked the beginning of new era not only in architecture but in the urban life of America.
 The appearance of the skyscrapers was not the result of any sudden flash of genius but the out come of long process of evolution and experi- ment. The way prepared for it when New York hotel installed it's first elevator shortly after the Civil War. Hitherto the height of a building had been limited to the average individuals stair climbing abilities. Now the walls could go higher but if they did they had to be thicker at the bottom to sustain the added weight. This meant few doors and small windows for the valuable ground floor. Architects then discovered that the walls with cast iron
 These changes leading to the skyscraper proper, in which the load is shifted from the masonry walls to a steel skeleton In the first sky scraper erected in Chicago wrought iron used up to the sixth story. At this point in the struction it became possible for the first time to obtain steel beams, and they employed in the rest of the building. The success of the venture made possible the ffty-story buildings which are going up today It gave Manhattan its famous sky line. It added immeasurably to the convenience and efficiency of the business office. And it has also multiplied the miseries of traffic congestion.

MOUNT MKINLEY FOR INNOCENT

The Postmaster-General is contemplating the is suance of a completely series of postage stamps. He is considering many innovations, among them a change from the portraits of famous Americans to illustrations of natural Suggestions from the people have been asked for
 The attention of The Empire has been called to the desirability of having at least Alaska view of the series of stamps that may be in general use. And the who is interesting himself in the premises suggests that the obvious Alaska view to urge for adoption would be of Mount Mckinley The circumstance that the mountain is the highest in North America would undoubtedly have pro- found appeal upon the selecting power. In addition to that is the further circumstance that Mount Kinley is not only tall and big mountain but it is beautiful and picturesque. picture of it would make very handsome postage stamp as well as one of great interest.
 We suggest that officials, citizens and commer- cial organizations begin campaign for Mount Mo- Kinley. And let ask that it be used for the two cent stamp-we might get the postcard.

A Mighty Beneficence.
Cincinnati Enquirer ]

Senator James Couzens has provided gift to children calling for the expenditure of S175OOOOO Tn twenty-five years. The name of the donor will not be used or known in connection with this great benefacton.
 It does not matter what the casust, the carper or the social radical may say as to how this money was amassed or where it came from The point is that IS to be expended in the interests of human service and where that service potentially may be developed into lasting good and tremendous pro- portions, like the Rockefeller Foundation, for ex- ample.
 rms gift looks to the well-being of future gen. erations of children and careful provision has been mace to guard against any obsesson of bureaucracy Tn the administration of the trust thus created
 MT. Couzens wants the youth of the country tod facts which they seldom learn except through pitter experience. He wants them to learn how to nVe under what conditions. He wants them to nave available clinics and schools He wants them to learn the value and joy of health and the in liuences of morality and beauty He was born poor ana tasted Of the cup of trial and disillusonment he wants to protect other boys-and grls-from like experience.
 senator Couzens might have built libraries en- ooweo colleges. erected temples of sectarian worship established charities of varied sort but he could not have devoted portion of his wealth to a hooier or more profitable enterprise than this gift to the children of America

 If daughter is ornamental mother finds her as useful as something a Scotchman has thrown away. Everytime we look at a girl who has all the grace and beauty of form of a scarecrow, going around dressed as near like Mother Eve as the law will allow, we long for the good old days of the styles that enabled the human skeletons to fool us with pads.
 Another pathetic figure is the poor old hen who thinks diking her self out to look like walking jewelry store will make her look so superior others will not notice how fat, how homely, and how dumb she looks.
 A man thinks he is showing real consideration for his wife if he calls her up on a day he knows she has been killing herself with housekeeping to tell her he is bringing out guest for dinner he knows she doesn't like, instead of just walking in with him.
