Not Step to Naval Race


The Reed -Borah amendment was
designed to encourage a settlement
of the 150-year old dispute between
the United States and Great Britain
over Britain's policy of seizing near
ly all kinds of property as con-
traband. International students in
the senate say this dispute is the
major problem between the two
great maritime nations. They
argued its elimination would
diminish whatever prospects there
are of a war between the two ma
tionS.
Up to the last minute, proponents
of the bill contended 1t was not to
be considered as a step toward a
naval race with Great Britain. but
that these cruisers were necessary
tn replace obsolete vessels and
strengthen the Weakest branch OF
the American feet.
Opponents of the bill argued the
bill vas a drain on the taxpayers;
that a move for international dis
armament should be made hrst;
that the time clause should be
eliminated TO permit the President
to seek disarmament.

Clancy told the Oakland Pontiac
dealers that they are in particu-
larly favorable position this year
IN view Of the high public interest
shown iii their two lines OF cars
according to the story revealed by
sales figures. The new Oakland
All-American Six. he said, despite
having been announced during the
dull selling season, IS rolling up
the highest monthly sales figures
recorded since the line first came
on the market in 1907.

lieves best among the present avail
able. And, although susceptible to
being overlooked among their other
virtues, the 1929 automobiles do
show improvement with respect to
the way they illuminate their own
pathways.
The once universal system Of put.
ting the light control on the dash
has passed out entirely as a con.
cession to the need for having the
light control at ones finger-tips. As
further step in Improving light
control many have incorporated
tlimming devices on the toe.board
where they may be operated by the
drivers left foot.
Depressible beam equipment has
been accepted on wider scale As
way of getting around, Il not
conquering, the problem of glare.
1t is a solution that appeals to
many car owners. And many engis
neering observers believe the advati-
tages OF this type Of equipment will
be used in proportion to the ease
with which the control may be oper-
ated. That attitude has been
larger factor in the employment O1
foot DINNER than many imagine.
One change in car design that is
looked upon largely as an improve
1aent in appearance has a very
definitely good effect upon illumina-
ton. 1t is, the practice OF mounting
the headlight on stanchions. which
are given d greater degree of firm.
ness by the employment Of q cross
member between the lamp bases.
Larger lenses and reflectors. to-
gether with better methods OF seal
ing the lamp against dust and
moisture. contribute also to better
headlighting.
Perfection may be far off, but
progress. at least, is right at hand
IL one only will look, for 1t.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCES
 NEW BOARD.

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has elected
 splendid Board to direct its affairs for the coming year There is not weak spot in it. The new directors are all wideawake and conservativey pro gressive business men The Board is well balanced both in personnel and business connections It IS a guaranty that the Chamber of commerce VIII continue to do fine work for Juneau as It mas oone in the past.
 The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has been an excellent organization and to it's work during the last few years is due lot of the credit for the unity of the people There is less factionalism in Juneau now than usually finds in a town-far less than there has been at times in the history of this community. This is very desirable con- dition and it is that will probably continue if all the people of the town are members of the Chamber and give its meetings large attendance.

The All-America Team.
(NeW York World.)

When Walter Camp died it looked for a time if that great institution, the all-America football team, had died with him. No could hope to gain the prestige which he had enjoyed in the foot ball world, hence we seemed to be headed toward hundreds of all-America teams, all of them good all of them backed by expert judgment but none of them official Now, however the danger is past The tottering Ttans have been rescued in the nick of time, restored to their feet and on Sunday will be trotted out the field as good as they ever Instead of one infaible judge in the per- son of Camp, we have four: Jones of Yale Warner of Stanford, Alexander of Georgia and Rockne of Notre Dame; and so well do they know the game and so thoroughly have they covered the field that their team will hardly be challenged
 Yet something of the old drama that went with the selection of the team by Camp has certainly departed. It used to be that when he showed up at game the news went through the stands like wildfire; ordinary spectators might nnocently sup pose that he there merely for an afternoons sport, but real football followers knew that he was there to spot some particular player whose identity was an open secret, and to be present at such an historic occasion afforded much bigger kick than the mere witnessing of few touchdowns And so far as the players were concerned, the knowledge that he was there was terrifying than the knowledge that there pair of brass knucks m the opposing line We recall story told in these chambers one time by Enoch B. Carey lately college President, but in the early 1eoo's or,ar terback on the West Point team
 We were playing Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. !" he said and just before the game an officer came running into the dressng-roo to tell us that Wal ter Camp was in the stands And then he looked at me.
 You know what that means, Carey he said He'll make up his mind between you and Steven today So play for blood Stevenson was the Pennsylvania quarterback, and they don't come any better.
 "So we started off and I went fine And then the first punt sailing back to me. And punt just about gives you time enough to remem- Der that Walter Camp is looking at you. Well, If my belly had been greased I couldn't have dropped any more punts than I dropped that day dropped them all. And when I took off my suit I knew wouldn't be an all-America quarterback that year. Oh, no. Stevenson got he job and he's welcome to it."
 On the whole, come to think of It, pernaps the present system is really more humane than the old one.

LIGHT CONCRETE WANTED FOR
 BRIDGES.

Highway engineers or the United States De- partment of Agriculture conducting experiments which involve improvements in quality of concrete to be gained by the of lightweight concrete in floors of pan bridges
 The tests are being conducted at the experi- ment farm Arlington, Va, under cooperative arrangement between the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department and the Port of New York Authority. The construction program of the Port of New York Authority includes number of long Hudson River Bridge, which will have main span of $500 feet, the longest suspension bridge in the world.
 The experiments at Arlington Farm embrace the construction of 22 concrete slabs, each feet wide and g feet long, with materials and methods such as might be used in the construction of brige floors. Different aggregates used, including weighing only about two-thirds much as the ordinary product. Different vbratory methods were employed in placing the concrete for the purpose of increasing it's density and thereby improving its quality The large slabs subsequently, cut up into smaller pieces of sizes suitable for testing.
 The program also includes tests to determine the strength of embedded steel, and the density dura- bility and elastic properties of the concrete The data thus far available indicate that information of considerable value to highway engineers will be obtained.

THE OXEN TEAM By Mary Graham Bonner

We're still turning the time back" the Little Black Clock said
 "The night before last you had 9 trip in an airplane where you could see how heavy the traffic was, and last night I turned the time way back to the days when the first trains travelled at night, and to- night-well, you shell see!"
 The Little Black Clock had cer- tainly turned the time way back.
 It was a morning, years and years and years before and there were very, very few people about. II. fact, the world looked new, and there were only huts instead O. houses.
 There were woods nearby, and scattered about everywhere were animals-horses, dogs, sheep, goats and oxen
 Were going to watch some oth- CTS having a ride today" the Little Black Clock said.
 There was the greatest excitement going on. Men and women and children, dressed very strangely in the skins of animals, were laugh ing and shouting with glee.
 Tn the center of an open space was one of the queerest looking carts either of the children had ever seen, and a team of oxen was drawing the cart.
 Tt moves It goes!" they shouted. "The wheel moves"
 You see," explained the Little Black Clock, "a wheel has just been made that will turn around and this is the very first kind of wagon ever to go. You're seeing the very beginning of travel"
 And John and Peggy watched the excited people, the crude cart, the funny old oxen, and said to the Little Black Clock:
 This is certainly great"
