 To every problem of city, State or National sig of a commission to find out the facts.
 Hoovers Administration will go down in history fact-finding.
 Sir Josiah Stamp, English railroad President and Director of the Bank of England, has just in the field of private enterprise ends in the dust bin. He said:
 Never before in history has there been
 such a mania for collecting statistics and
 information but what the world needs is
 technique of thinking. Many people
 have open minds today-so open that every
 thing falls out.
 And he further remarked that the mental equip ment of business executives does not increase in ratio to the number of graphs, clerks and scien- tific economic inventions they assemble in their files
 Many executives nowadays want to know. They keep right on wanting to know the facts, until the chance to use them is over.
 They make colorless statesmen Their response to any governmental challenge is: Go ahead and show me. It is a sound system in that it makes few errors. But also it accomplishes little. The great leader steps out and makes new facts. He doesn't want to know what the world is. He knows what it ought to be- and he works out his results while the issues hot
 And in calling for new way of thinking, and for imagination in statesmen, Sir Josiah really means to say this:

Another IncongruOus Death.
(NeW York Times


 The publisher of The Baltimore Sun Van Lear Black, became known aviation's greatest anna lteur. He had flown almost the length of the world Iup and down its unknown air-lanes. He had crossed great spaces of and taken every risk there is in properly equipped flying. Only once had he experienced accident of any importance, and then he was not hurt. Now the news comes that he fell from the rail of his yacht off the Jersey coast and was drowned.
 Some time ago one of Englands great aces, la man who had brought down many German planes when aircraft were far less safe than they are lnow, was drowned after falling off dock General Smith Dorrien, hero of the retreat from Mons, when the lives of Generals safer than those of privates, killed last week in motor accident Such paradoxical finishes to adventurous lives moved Dr. Johnson to speak of "a petty fortress and humble hand" marveling over the death of Charles XII of Sweden
 There are especially pitiful aspects of gallant career so ended, and dual will be felt for the death of MT Black. Had the choice been given to him, undoubtedly he would have preferred | to sink with his plane upon some lonely expanse lof sea or land-an ending he proved repeatedly that he did not fear.

A TESTIMONIAL OF AFFECTION.

Few if any men connected with Alaska and it's development have gained for themselves and so well merited the affection and high regard that be- slowed by AlaSkans upon the late Gen. Wilds P. Richardson, United States Army Officer, who or ganized and for 12 years President of the Alaska Road Commission and who is very properly recog- nzed as the father of the present road and trail system of the Territory. His long residence and activity here, and his continued interest in and love for Alaska made him truly an Alaskan in every sense of the word.
 The formation of the Genefal Richardson Mem oral Association, having for it's objective the erec- ton of a monument commemorating his great work here and as a testimonial of the affection of Alaskans for him, is timely. The members of the Committee, with Gov. Parks Chairman and B. M. Behrends as Treasurer, charged with looking after this task indeed privileged in that their work is task of love
 The Associations plan, disclosed in a recently published statement is to collect sufficient funds to defray expenses of erecting a suitably inscribed bronze tablet probably at the summit of the Alaska Range on the road that bears the Generals name -Richardson Highway. It is, apparently, not the intention of the organization to solicit contributions The offerings will be purely voluntary. Already subscriptions have begun to come in to the treasury Everyone desiring to have part in this movement can realize that desire by simply mailing a check for any sum wished to MT. Behrends Numbers of subscribers rather than large contributions is the end sought.
 This is that is it should be, very dear to the heart of all Alaskans who were priv ileged to know General Richardson. As each con- tributor to the memorial fund is to receive tificate of membership the Association the roster of its members is very likely to approximate almost every surviving Alaskan who was resident in the Territory in the years that he was organ izing and directing the Alaska Road Commission and laying the foundation of the roads and trails that today constitute our land communication system.

The Women Wage Workers.
(New York Herald Tribune)

William M. Steuart, Director of the Census tells radio audience that more women than at any previous census period engaged in gainful oc- equations The number of these between the ages of sixteen and sixty-four he gives in round num- bers 10000000 The number of girls under six teen gainfully employed is smaller than it ten years ago When exact figures are available they will apparently support the statement that in proportion to the total population the percentage of women wage workers has not greatly changed in ten years-or, for that matter, in twenty. The tendency of young women to enter gainful occupa- tions is portent in American life
 MT. Steuart points out that side by side with this army of 10000OOO wage-workng women marches the vaster army of 23O0000O women within the same age limits who are listed as housewives How many even of the 10000000 do light housekeeping besides their paid work shall know. In the face of these figures it hardly be said that the business woman is endangering the Am erican home.
