SOMETHING ABOUT ALASKA ICE

Its of wonder to the visitors from the Out side that thousands of tons of ice be manufactured in Ketchkan each year for the of the fishing boats Does ice have to be made artifcaly in Alaska? they anXously enquire and when answered in the afirma-
 tive bang goes another cherished ignorant notion of the efete East to be stored in the chest of exploded memories along with the tales of Momons with horns, Indians with tomahaWks and War-pant and cowboys with hair pants.
 It is mighty discouraging to up so-caled dis semnators puveyors of wisdom after all these years
 f it amusng) to meet traveller after traveller who freely admit that the people of states generally know absolutely nothing about Alaska" Yet is is not to be wondered at, far-away Alaska is concerned, when the people of the states believe that poygamy still fourishes in Utah. and that at great church confer at Philadelphia few years ago. in a huge and beautiful church edifce of fashionable frantic women dragged high dignitary of the Mormon church from the pulpit and tore his clothes from him find out if he strings his undergarments instead of buttons as is the Mormon custom.
 The popular suposition Outside seems to be that it is cold up here that the fishermen do not need ice and if they do they simply sail close to glacier and let iceberg fall them.
 They can not seem to grasp the idea that our sum- mers are the most delightful summers in North Amer ica with laughing streams and hills capeted with every variety of flower known to the northern half of the United States They will not believe tomatoes grow in the shadow of the Arctic Circle even if they it hanging the vine. "There just aint such animal" they say and go away sadly shaking their heads. If 1t wasn't fun might time get tired and quit telling them that Alaska is of Gods chosen places earth

VIII Learn on First Flight.
After the first flight, during which
Lieut.. Williams hopes to be able to
learn something of the characteristics
of the untried ship he expects to be
able to take of and land under ordi-
nary weather conditions. Until he has
made his initial flight, however, he and
his hackers feel that it would be fool
ish to risk accident to the plane, which
is the sole hope Of the United States
in the coming international speed clas-
sic, by attempting to fly from rough
water and with unfavorable winds.
The maiden fight undoubtedly will
be made down the Severn River from a
starting point in front Of the Naval
Academy, where the racer has been
berthed for the past 10 days. The
planes motor must be started with an
electrical starting gear mounted on q
float and applied to the propeller ex-
ternally. Calm water is necessary for
this operation.
AS the Severn River is comparatively
narrow in front of the Naval Academy
and the plane will require considerable
distance to get on the water, the at
tempt can be made only when there is
very slight breeze directly upstream
from the southwest. For the past three
days there has been a brisk north and
northeast breeze.
Time Is Drawing Short.
After one or two short test flights,
the racing plane will be lifted aboard
the Navy aircraft tender U. s. S. Sand
piper and taken to q speed course laid
out by the Navy of Kent Island, near
the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay,
directly opposite the mouth of the
Severn. Here the plane will be put
over the course and its speed recorded
by an automatic photo-electric timing
apparatus.
Lieut.. williams hopes to leave the
United States for England before the
end Of next week. Under his tentative
time schedule he probably will have to
leave Annapolis not later than Wednes-
day. The Schneider races are to be
flown at Cowes. between the Isle of

HOOVER'S DEVOTED SECRETARY
RETURNS TO NATIVE MINNESOTA
First Time George Akerson
Has Been Separated From
President in 3 Years.
81 Like Him Better Than !
Did," He Tells Those Seek
ing His Opinion of Chief.
BY WILLIAM HARD.


The Norwegian secretary of the
SwiSs-German President of this Anglo
Saxon country has gone home to his
native land of Minnesota. This is the
, first time that George Akerson has
been separated from Mr.. Hoover in
three years. Asked what he thought
Of Mr.. Hoover now, Mr.. Akerson said:
II like him better than I did"
Since Mr.. Akerson three years ago
thought Mr.. Hoover was ADLER than
than James G. Blaine, it would seem
that ultimately he will be entirely for
him. Plenty of nonsense has been
talked about how Mr.. Akerson taught
politics to Mr.. Hoover. Mr.. Hoover
has his own peculiar political methods
which only he could have invented.
They do not square with any precedent.
Nobody ever advised him to build a
system of politics out of a lot of non
political associations and maneuverS
and make it look as if it wasn't poll
tics at all. That is his own original
contribution to American political
science. Mr.. Akerson nevertheless has
been one of Mr.. Hoover's cannieSt and
cagyist political assistants, and he, too,
has methods that leave the observer
often frustrated.
Can Be Resolute and Firm.
Gaze upon his unruff1ed brow. Note
his high healthy color. Oserve his
well-fed height. Could such man so
amused, so benign, ever give any
visitor the equivalent of the "bum's
rush from the presidential executive
office?
He could and does Mr.. Akerson, the
jovial, has become resolute and stern.
His last few days here before he de-
parted to the fiords of Minnesota seem
to have been devoted largely to de-
veloping scheme of rules which citi-

assured that their petitions to be al

graphed statement which, after your
interview with the President, you pro-
pose to give out to the press, saying that
the President listened to your views
with the greatest interest. If Mr..

your person by any telltale bulge on
the side of your coat or by rapidly
passing his hand across your shoulders

Rule two is that If you tell Mr.. Aker-
son that you want to see the President
in order to pay him your respects and
ask him how he likes the weather, and
if you then, upon being admitted to his
presence, ask him what he thinks of
companionate marriage on behalf of
the woman subscribers to the string of
agricultural magazines, you may see
him again.
Rule three is that If you mail a let

ter to the President denouncing' him
for not having seen you yet as the
spokesman of a downtrodden cause
and demanding that he see you at once,
and If you give your letter to the news
papers before it even reaches the White
House, your cause will keep on being
downtrodden so far as the President
is concerned, because Mr.. Akerson will
see to 1t that you never get beyond the
White House front door mat.
Rule four is that If you are worthy
citizen and join a worthy organization
for worthy cause and, nevertheless,
allow your petition for a presidential
interview to be carried to the White
House by any of the professional pub
licity pests with which Washington IS
infected and afflicted. especially il they
happen to be well known income tax
dodgers or well known unfrocked clergy
men or well known personal political
blackmailers, your unfortunate choice
of your company will most certainly
keep you from the Presidents company.

for the future have been thrust upon
his companionable disposition by cir

Who would have thought that eminent
and scrupulous ministers would have

they wished merely to compliment the
President upon his passion for law en-
forcement and would then have GRATED
to the President upon the desirability
of keeping holy Sabbath day by means
of Federal origin. 1t is true that the
amazed President is reported to have
thrown bombshell into the ranks of
the visiting preachers by asking them

things they desired to have forbidden

Racing Planes Ignition In
SuIation Burns Off From
Short Circuit.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. August 17.-Disap-
pointed again today in his efforts to get
his powerful Mercury racing plane into
the air for its initial fight test in prep
aration for the Schneider trophy races
in England next month, Lieut.. Afford
j. Williams will renew his attempt to-
morrow morning.
Although the weather was ideal this
morning for the first time in a week, a
short circuit in the complicated wiring
system Of the 1,100-horsepower engine,
resulting in burning Of the insulation,
held up the take-off. Before the dam
aged wiring could be replaced strong
breeze had sprung up, and after watt
ing all afternoon Lieut.. Williams re-
luctantly ordered the plane covered up
again shortly before sunset.
Owing to the hazard Of taking of
the water and landing in the tremen-
dously powerful racing plane until he
has had an opportunity to learn how
the plane will handle, Lieut.. Williams
and his hackers have determined to take
no unnecessary chances on the first
fight. The attempt is to be made only
