HEADS AND HATS

One must have a good opinion of his head to treat it to a $500 hat. it would seem, but that is what thirty or more Americans are doing this year according to the style committee of the Hat Institute in New York, which all so declares that the well-dressed man must have a minimum of three straw hats this summer.
 The headgear prescribed in cludes yacht sailor for business wear; a Panama, leghorn, man fla or any of the body straWs for sport, country and resort wear, land a China split for evening. The aristocrat for this layout is, of course, the Panama.
 l But Panama bellies it's name, as it does not come from Pana- ma at all, but is made in South America, being woven by hand from the stemless screw pines that grow wild in Ecuador and Colombia. Expert weavers often spend a year in making one hat
 and when it is perfect in every detail it sells in this country fo1 $500, where a market is found for about 30 each year.

CHURCH BUILDING IS A BIG
 BUSINESS

Dr. Albert F. McGarrah, di- rector of the department of building fund campaigns of the Presbyterian Board of National Missions declares that one of the biggest businesses of the United States today is the church-build- ing enterprise. He has just raised $3,5OO,OO0 in three and one-half months for 50 church. es.
 The money raised will be used for the erection of new buildings improvements to present build ings, or for the payment of debts and it is in addition to funds at hand or paid out in construc- tion.
 This average income of one million dollars a month is an in dication that there is no let down in the church building movement which has been or an upward trend since the close of the world war.

INDIAN MUST HANG

| Constantine Beaver, Indian
 sentenced at Fairbanks last
 February by Judge Cecil Cleg2
 at Fairbanks for the murder oi
 another Indian during a drunk
 en braWl, Wes refused executive
 clemency by President Hoover
 and must hang after the 18th ot
 August.
 Governor Parks granted a rel
 prieve So that application for
 communication of sentence could jbe placed before the president
 District Attorney Hurley has
 filed amotion for fixing date of Isentence.
 There is the possibility that the president does not have 3 clear understanding of the Beav- er case. He is wrought up over the crime situation in the states and clearly is not inclined to intercede in cases where men have been found guilty beyond any question of 9 doubt. The president knows that crime con- ditions have made America the most unsafe place in the world in which to live and he is aware of some of the difficulties the courts are having in obtaining convictions; he does not want tC add Encouragement by coming to the rescue of those who fail t0 Iprove their innocence. But it ] seemingly has not occurred to hir, that the situation may be just 2 little different in Alaska.
 Sending Beaver precipitately tO the happy hunting grounds will not help matters in the least whereas it would be pos sible through imprisonment and training, to show him the error of his ways and to turn him back into the world eventually an enlightened and useful citizen
 Alaska should follow the ex- ample of those states where cap ital punishment has long been abolished and where the extreme penalty is not enforced. Statjs- tics seem to show that it is safer to live in those states than in sections of the country where the "eye for an eye" policy is istill practiced.

 If 500 envelopes can be print led and shipped to any part of the country for 12 cents, 3 lot o1 printers we know should be worth millions. As it is they can hardly pay their bills.
 We believe that the Post Office Department would lose less mon oy If 1t got out of the printing business. And even if the fig uros in the ledger didn't black over night, the Post Office has 10 right t0 take business away from any group of private enter prises. As one printer asks, IA Government printing office, why not 2 Government shoemaker?"

Agriculture at Fairbanks, Alaska, were duly received.
 As you doubtless know, this Department has operated an agricultural experiment station 2t Fairbanks since 1907, and has Q Il d U te d investigations on crops, rotations, etc., to deter mine practices adapted to that 'eglon. The President of the College is very anxious to have his Station turned over to the College and an Act of Congress vas passed that will ultimately )ring this about and extend the various Federal Aid Acts to the Territory. No appropriations can be made under this Act until annually estimated as to funds and amounts by the Secretary of Agriculture; the estimates to be based upon his determination of the ability of the Territory of Alaska to make effective use of the funds"
 We have gone over the matter fully with the President of the College and have agreed that the Institution will need about $1O,- 00Q.00 to 15,0O0.OO to begin with rom the Territory to enable it 5o meet the requirements.
 We are hoping that the Col lege will obtain the financial as- sistance from the Territory to enable them to comply with the requirements of the law.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE
From Anchorage Times

Word comes from Fairbanks
 that Indian Beaver must die be-
 cause of his violation of the white mans law while under the influence of liquor which the white man taught him to drink President Hoover to whom a plea was made for executive clemen- cy has refused to intercede and has refused to intercede and there appears to be little more that can be done to save the life of' the young native who is un- der sentence of death in the Fairbanks jail, without friends, without funds, without any un- derstanding of what it is all about.
 There are worse men in the world than Indian Beaver. There Iare thousands of men in the pri- sons of the United States doing easy stretches for far worse crimes than that which Beaver fcommitted and the courts of the country daily are freeing crim- inals who are less entitled to the right to live than he. The scales of justice surely are uneVenly balanced against this unfortun- ate aboriginee.
 If it could be shown that the taking of Beavers life would have the effect of discouraging offenSes of like nature in the fu- ture, there might be an excuse for eXacting the extreme penal ty. But no such promise can be held out. Capital punishment does not reform the white man and in spite of the threat of the gallows, hootch-crazed In dians will continue to kill, each other occasionally, just as their more enlightened white broth CTS do Humans, no matter what their color, do not count the con- sequences when minds are heavy with alcoHol and anger.

WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Why Leopold and his friend in Chicago, with their millions and in spite of brilliant scholastic re- cord, commit such a dastardly crime as they did and escape the eye for an eye" law of heather age.
 We cannot understand why So many others who have commit ted murders have been granted executive clemency-cases where the crime was deliberately pre- meditated and far more hein- ous than the murder in drunken anger committed by Indian Beaver.
 As guilty of the crime, for which Indian Beaver will pay the extreme penalty, is the man who furnished the liquors which for the moment made 3 maniac \ of Beaver. The seller is as guilty of the murder as Beaver for il was his influence which was the first cause and the murder was the effect.

WANDERING TUBERCULOSIS

Wandering tuberculosis suffer- CTS in states of the West and southwest are becoming an in icreasing financial problem, Miss Jasmine s. Whitney, New York !statistitian for the National Tu- bercul0sis Association, declared recently in San Francisco. There are 10000 people suffer ling from the white plague" who each year wander thru the states IOf Arizona, California Colorado New Mexico and Texas, she said. "This problem is still the lead ing social problem in the tuber- culosis campaign in the United States" stated Miss Whitney if counting members of families involved the total would reach 10000 seeking state aid.
 If the burden for any one of these individuals could be con- fined exclusively to any one To- oaity the problem would be
 ea9ier she said. The fact that
 hey make an oddyssey all over he country, coupled with the fact that add a heavy burden
 to states having relatively small populations, complicates tn problem.
 Miss Whitney pointed out that
 Colorado Springs has had an in
 creasing load in the number o-
 relief given to migratory cases
 despite the fact that the actual
 death rate from tuberculosis has recently declined about one
 third.

All Kinds of Food in Pies

There are but few foods that have
not at one time or another, by this
cook or that, been used to make pie.
Probably apples are more often used
than anything else to make the filling
for pie, and in this country pumpkin
probably comes next, though cranberry
pie is said to be even more widely used
than that filled with pumpkin.
Mince pie is next in Importance, no
doubt. Berries of all sorts are success
fully used as filings for pies. Inter-
estingly enough, pears, so nearly related
to apples, do not lend themselves to
pie making. Cherry pie, of course, is
almost as famous as apple pie, and
many persons like plum pie, though it
is no. so well known in America
Banana pie is something of a new
conner among pies, and is not so widely
liked as some of the other pies. Peach
pie is likewise not liked by every one.
Raisin pie has many admirers. There
are many men who would put it at the
top of the list of favorfte pies. Rhu-
