Present Inspection Trip Highly Gratifying
 Has Good Word

SEWARD Alaska, June 3.-Im- mensely pleased with Alaska on his first trip inspecting radio and Signal Corps stations, Lieut.. Col Frank W. Griffin, accompanied by his wife, sailed south on the steam CT Alaska Sunday night.
 Col. Griffin said the Signal Corps stations were functioning well and he found them in good shape, serving the public faithfully and efficiently. I hope to make constructive advances as fast as ap- propriations will permit.
 ''The airplane is mighty factor in building Alaska and in this con- nection we are assisting to an extent that each of our 35 sta tions hereafter will serve as meteor ological stations, gather and dis pense to planes atmospheric data without remuneration.
 T believe Otto F. Ohlson, Gen. eral Manager of the Alaska Rail- road, has hit the nail on the head and is halting Alaskas dwind- ling population by colonization plans now underway"
 Col. Griffin was an honor guest at a banquet given by the Seward Chamber of Commerce.

Of the Associations magnanimous

cidcnt has just come to light.
Members of the Association desir-

requested to loan cars for the Eden
ton trip. DR.. Julian W. Selig was
amone those who loaned their cars.
Something happened to DR.. Seligs
car; it was returned with a badly
damaged motor. DR.. Selig did not
realize the extent of his damage
until repair men told him next day
that it would cost him SITS to put
his car in order again. Julian Wept
He didn't have the heart to mention
his loss to the visiting press men.
Btu officers of the press associ-
aion heard about it; President Carey
Dowd called a meeting of his execu-
tive committee, the extent OF DR.
Selig's damage was verified; the
Association presented DR.. Selig with
its check for SITS in full payment
for the damage done his car &C
cidentally by one of its members.
But for this lone incident the
meeting of the North Carolina Press
Association in Elizabeth City last
week was one of the most enjoyable
sessions ever held by that body

only condemn him in this Tea
incident for not having done the
thing himself instead of packing IL
off on his wife. 1t was coming
sooner or later and he might nave
done the manly thing and invited
the colored ladys husband TO MS
own table first"
Are YOU so durn sure that Hoover
hasn't had a lot of his colored
friends to dine with him since ne
became lord of the White House?
asked the Soda Jerker.
"A very pertinent question: SAID
the Bank Clerk; for this man
Hoover has clever way OF conceal
ing his social relations. All the
time the Anti-Smiths were raising
hell because Al Smith was Cath
olic. it was Hoover who had the
inside track with the Catholics ana
it didn't come out until months
after the election that Hoover and
the Pope are close personal friends
I have no doubt that the Presloen5
has entertained many of his coiored
friends at breakfast and at luncheon
but the facts didn't get out. But
the cat got out of the bag when
Mrs, Hoover invited the colored lady
and 80 other women to one
spread. There were too many women
present for secrecy to have been
kept"
And, just Ito think said the
Soda Jerker; Il was figuring on
voting a Republican ticket if GER
tain Democratic leaders in North
Carolina continued in leadership.
Just about the time you think the
Republican party is as Lily White as
it pretends to be, something turns
up to reveal the African in its wood
pile"
THE Leopard can not change It's
spots" said the Bank Clerk.
But I'm sorry for one thing
said the Soda Jerker; I'm sorry
the Ku KluX Klan in North Caro-
lima didn't live long enough after
the last election to have its dirty
nigger-hating soul outraged by the
spectacle of Mrs. Hoover entertain
ing Mrs. DePriest at tea and Her.
bert Hoover dancing with the lady.
Did the President dance with
I her?" asked the Bank Clerk.
! "They say he did" replied the
Soda Jerker.
"Well, what of it?' smirked the
Bank Clerk; 'it would be but carry
ing out the Hoover policy; policy
inaugurated by him when. as Secre-
tary of Commerce, he abolished the
segregation order in his department
