SERVICE IS THE MAIN
 CONSIDERATION.

The best mail seryice possible under existing transportation conditions is the thing that Alaskans are principally desirous of obtaining The price that the Federal Government pays for it is not vital issue except that Alaskans naturally would like to know that the companies performing the service are receiving adequate remuneration. That is the posi- tion that the Chamber of Commerce took when it protested to the Post Office Department against revoking the new mail contracts recently awarded the Alaska Steamship Company and the Admiral Line
 Arguments that are based on a contention that the Government is paying too much for transport ing mails between Seattle and Seward and inter mediate ports, beside the issue If it were contended that these companies are not fulfilling the terms of contracts that they were neglecting the service to the disadvantage of the Territory the Postmaster General being urged to give better more frequent delivery of the mail, this local reaction would of course be different But that is not the case.
 In 1929, the Alaska Legislature agreed unani- mously but very few things. One of that select number the desirabity for an increased con- tract rate for mail deliveries by steamships plying between Seattle and Seward, and Seattle and Skag- way In so many words it called attention to the higher rates the Government was paying to Am erican vessels carrying mail between United States ports and foreign ports, and concluded by request ing the Government, when it made contracts for the Alaska service, to pay rate commensurate with the higher rates cited.
 Juneau's Chamber of Commerce took the only position it could assume if it acted in accord with

CANADIAN FISH AND AMERICAN.

The Fisheries Department of the Dominion of Canada has issued order that herring can be shipped from British Columbia to Alaska to be used for halibut bait unless it is duly packed and boxed This provision, say Prince Rupert news papers, makes the export pretty well impossible and orders placed by Alaska buyers running to several thousand tons cannot be filled. In other words the Dominion of Canada didn't object to the exportaton of fish to Alaska but the labor of packing and the cases it packed in must also be Canadian.
 That is the attitude good many Aaskans have held toward halibut and salmon. There was no objection to the fish going to Canadian ports, but they felt it only right that the labor of preparing for market and the boxes should have been furnished in the Territory. It should be re- marked, however, that their view did not prevail

INVENTORS TO BE FINANCED

The difficulties encountered ry inventive genius largely based on lack of finances, traditional One of the most familiar figures of American fiction is that of the young inventor, out at the elbows half-starved, without friends and unable to find market for his device that, perhaps, is des- tined to revoutonize some industry. And that figure has not been entirely without its counter part in actual life.
 Now, however, this condition if it still exists is to be wiped out A group of Wall Street magnates have organized clearing house for inventive genius of the country. This is to provide new and organized channel for study classification utilization and financing of industrial processes and nven- tions of all kinds in this country and in Europe. The interests behind the movement have been iden- tified with development and financing of new in- dustries for the past seven years. They include financial industrial figures of international as well as national repute.

work of 100000 census enumer.

Enumerators ,twill use the ut.
most care in determining the

List Birth Place
Each person must be credited
in census records to the State,
territory. or foreign country in
which his birthplace is now To-
Gated, regardless of what the
birthplace was called or what ma
tion ruled that territory at the
time the person. was born.
If, for. example, a person was
born 20 years ago in the province
of Bohemia, which was at that
time a part of the Austro- Hun

merator should put down Czecho-
slovakia as the birthplace. al

Damages Asked
From Washington Bank

Coldwell S. Johnston. of Paris,
France, filed suit in Circuit Court
Yesterday to recover $2O,3O1 from
the National Savings and Trust
Company, alleging that the bank
ing institution had occasioned
him that amount of loss because
OF its failure to carry out an
agreement to act as his agent in
selling certain stock he had left
with the bank.
Attorneys w. A. Johnston and
w. A. Coombe represent the plain
tiff. who says that under an
agreement the bank was to act as
his agent and that accordingly
he instructed the bank by cable
to sell certain stock when it
stood at 421. =. on the market.
The bank failed to do so, &C
cording to the declaration and
he finally sold the stock himself
at 220. The amount sued for
represents the loss Johnston
claims to have sustained.

father was born in exactly the
same place 80 years before that,
the person probably would tell

was born in Turkey while he was

would put down Rumania as the
birthplace Of each. ,.
New Countries
In Europe there are seven
countries and ONE, free city which
did not exist IN 1914, and the
boundary lines of most of the old
nations have changed. In the
Near East five new nations have
sprung from the territory which
was formerly the Ottomen En-
pire.

13,712,754 foreign born in United

POLICE SEEKING.
Z LOST GIRLS

Little progress has been made
toward solving the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance, Mon
day afternoon, of two small
colored girls.
Mildred Jones, 13, and Oracle
May Fields, 8, were sent by their
grandmother Mrs. Susie Taylor,
from her home, 400 block Sixth
and One-half St. S. W., to an
address on South Capitol Street
for some laundry. They never
returned. nor has anyone been
found who saw them. The chill
dren made their home with the
grandmother and an. aunt, Mrs.
Ida Jordan. They had just come
from the new Bell School when
they started on the errand.
Mildred, who is large for her
age, was wearing a red coat, tan
shoes and stockings and a blue
hat when she disappeared, while
Oracle May wore black shoes
and stockings, a dark blue coat
and red and blue stocking cap.
The younger child is small for
her age.
Police are looking for the
father Of Mildred, Joseph Jones,
for questioning in the disappear
ance. He formerly lived in Wash
ington, but has not been seen
for some time.

declared:
Plenty Of Representatives
"You talk SO much of lack of
representation when you have ABS
Representatives in the House and
96 Senators in the Senate who
are vitality interested in your well
fare. Why, If we could do as
much for our several States as
we do for you, our people would
rise. up and call us blessed. IN
stead, you rise up and call us
something else"
Representative Bloom spoke in
the interests of the bicentennial
of George Washington's anniver-
sary, in 1882. He declared that
the city must wake up" and plan
for the huge celebration, which
will begin on February %, 1892.

the same year.
Each state will have a special
week to send its representatives

T ats Old Chauffeur
M0urns, His Death

through q series Iof C0inci-
dences more than 20 years ago,
William GrikScheit became chauf.
feur for the then President, Will
liam Howard Taft. Through an.
other coincidence Grikscheit yes
terday was among the throngs
which stood silent in the rain,
paying their humble tribute to
the mortal remains of the late
President and Chief Justice.
In May, 1908, Grikscheit was
employed as a demonstrator by
the New York office of a foreign
automobile company. Henry Taft,
son OF the President, ordered one
of the cars and Grikscheit was
sent to the Taft home to teach
the boys the intricacies of
handling the new car.
For three weeks Grikscheit
stayed at the Taft home instruct
ing the boys. Then, he said, he
must return to New York. How.
ever, the Taft boys had become
attached to GrikScheit and asked
their father to hire him as their
chauffeur. The genial President
acquiesced, with the result that
Grikscheit was installed as the
boys chauffeur.
One day, the Presidents regu.
lar chauffeur was i'll and Griks-
cheit was called in to take Mr..
Taft to the Easthampton Gong
Island) golf course. So pleased
was the President with erik.
Scheit's driving that he decided
to use him regularly as his own
driver. -
While in the Taft employ
Grikscheit was married and a
son was born to his wife. He
was named Henry William Taft.
Last March he was appointed to
the Naval Academy. Grikscheit
was visiting his son when he
read of the death of Mr.. Taft.
So he came to Washington to
pay his last respects to his
former employer.
