TOURISTS MAKE MCKINLEY
 PARK AIRPLANE TRIP

With the distinction of having made the first commercial sight-see, ing airplane trip through Mckinley park only few days after the route was officially opened by Governor George A. Parks, six tourists left Fairbanks in continuation of theiI Alaska tour, says the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 They were deeply impressed with the magnificent beauty that un- rolled before their eyes as the air plane carried them swiftly through the park to point near Mount Mo Kinley and were impressed also with the fact that the flight was made in broad daylight although at night.
 Those making the trip were Loyd L. King, Tom King, MT and Mrs. G. A. Schmidt, Ella Cook Smith and Sutherland Cook. Nearly clear weather permitted a fine view of the m Il n. MT. and Mrs. Schmidt, who are over 70 years old, had never been up in a plane be- fore.
 MT. King, who is Ford dealer at Huntington Park, near Los Angeles, said they had been induced to go to the park by plane because of the de- scription of the official trip given in the News-Miner by Governor Parks. The fact that they had spent two days in the park before coming to Fairbanks only increased their desire to see it from the air.
 Mr King is making the Alaska tour because it was so highly praised by MT, Bowen, former pub fisher of Huntington Park paper. He is accompanied by his wife and two children. We have had a won derful time and will certainly urge our friends to come north" said MT. King. He believes Americans should see all of their own country before going abroad.
 "If the International Highway is built you will see more cars here than we have in Los Angeles. The light nights will be fine for travel ing by autos. MT. Sheldon treated everyone royalty at the park and that is the spirit that brings people back. It is a wonderful park and when the new hotel is built will be even a greater attraction than it is now"

W. A. DUNKELBERGER LAID
 TO REST IN wRANGELL

Two boat loads of Petersburg res idents accompanied the body of the late W. A. Dunkelberger which was brought to Wrangell for burial last Saturday afternoon.
 Funeral services were held in the Sons of Norway hall at Petersburg Saturday morning under the au- spices of the American Legion. Rev. Maakestad preached the sermon.
 The deceased had apparently been in good health up to Tuesday after noon, July Is, when he complained of feeling i'll. The doctor whom he consulted ordered him at once to the hospital where both Dr. Rude and Dr. Rhone attended him. He entered the hospital at six o'clock, but lapsed into inconsistencies at eight o'clock and passed away in the early morning from internal hemo- rhages without having regained consciousness.
 MT Dunkelberger was born in Genoa, Nebraska, Oct. 24, 1892. In 1904 the family moved to Olympia, Wash, where he continued his schooling until he was graduated from high school.
 In 1914 he began going to the Bering Sea during the fishing sea- son. When he returned to the States at the close of the fishing season in 1917, he at once volun- teered for service in the World War, enlisting in the 91st Infantry. He served overseas and was in several severe engagements, during which he was twice wounded, once from shrapnel head wounds and by bull let wounds in his heel.
 The deceased has lived for the past eight years in Petersburg where he was employed by the Gla- cier Sea Food Company. He was married on Nov. 15, 1924, to Mrs Ann Hull of Wrangell. One child, a daughter, was born to this union. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ly ia Dunkelberger, two sisters, Mrs. Clara Leaning and Mrs. Naomi McTobin, and a brother, Harold Dunkelberger, all of Olympia, his wife and four-year- old daughter, Wilma Ann and two step children, Myrtle and Melvern Dunkelberger.
 At the time of his death he was serving his second year as Post Commander of the American Legion Post at Petersburg. He was also reelected last spring to serve again as president of the P.-T.A.
 Mr. Dunkelberger was a man who was kind and good and upright in all his dealings. A host of friends in Wrangell and Petersburg deplore his untimely passing.

PORTLAND MAY START LINE
 OF STEAMERS TO ALASKA

Rumor to the effect that Port land, Oregon, steamship companies are looking for expansion in the AL aska field, have been heard in the States during the past few weeks, says the Cordova Times. Credence is given the rumors since it has been made known that one Portland com pany has gone so far as to send it's experts to Alaska to look into possi- ble sources of tonnage.
 Portland expects to compete in the Alaska field, it was said, due to the new railroad rates soon to be es- tablished from the East to West, which will give the Rose City the advantage of approximately two dollars per car savings over any oth- CT Pacific Coast city.
 While no definite information is available as yet, and plans for the expansion of shipping will not ma terialize for at least two years, it is believed that the Portland finan- ciers will attempt to follow the foot steps of the largest company now operating in Alaska, and will try to find properties suitable for devel- opment and exploitation so that they will be assured of a cargo when southbound.
 Direct evidence of the interest be- ing taken in Alaska by Oregonians is seen in the numerous meetings held in Portland to further the cause of the proposed international highway extending from Circle City, Alaska, to Mexico

was hopelessly handicapped at the
start. Not only could he cover oTlSS .
limited beat, but it was comparatively
easy for gunner and burglars to ascer-
tain the safest time, in regard to the
location of the policeman, to carry on
their enterprises. Besides these obvious
dimculties IN the way of law enforce
rnent, the policeman in full uniform
swinging along on his beat was a con-
spicuous object and frequently a get
away could be made long before he
could approach.
The advantages therefore of putting
officers in small. light cars. two men
occupying each one. and sending them
out to patrol quickly, but vigilantly,
an entire neighborhood, can read be
realized. Not only are the polio, cars
inconspicuous in the traffic stream, but
the mobility of the automobile can be
combined with the detailed work of a
footman. If culpritS, for instance, take
to the alleys and back fences one of
the policemen can be discharged from
the car for the pursuit, while the other
can attempt to cut off an escape.
In many cities radio is installed in
all department machines and in the
event of crime word can be instantly
transmitted to hundreds of men on,
motor patrol with the consequent less
ening of the fugitive's chances to make
a successful fight. The motor patrol
man is nquestionably here to stay and.
although Washington is conducting its
first experiment along these lines. its
success is assured. The next step will
be the addition of radio equipment.
When this Is done and precincts are
functioning on motorized basis the
National Capital will be a good place
for the criminal to avoid.

Aviators and Local Laws.

Recently noted aviator was
grounded" by the Federal authorities
for having flown over the Island of
Bermuda without having first obtained
permission from the tnsular govern
ment, his license being suspended for
period. Later, upon explanation that
he had made the flight with the under
standing from a consul that no specific
permission was required, the suspension
was rescinded. The incident, however,
served to stress the fact that pilots
must conform to the rules and laws of
the areas over which they ny, which
is as It should be.
The other day an airplare was flown
over the city of Washington for the
purpose of advertising. by loud speaker,
a certain make of motor cars. The
noise emitted from the plane was
deafening. The community was shocked
by the sound, which constituted an ele-
ment of danger in the streets in dis
tracing the attention of drivers and
pedestrians. This was q violation of
a local law, or regulation, which forbids
persons from Advertising wares by
shouts or loud noises in the public
spaces.
Attention was called to the nuisance,
and a representative of the concern
engaging the advertising plane sought
a permit from the District Cor1ufs-
sioners, who refused to grant it. The
plane made no further noisy flights.
The pilot, landing outside of the juris-
diction of the District, could not be
reached for penalty. The case, how
ever, has been cited to the Department
of Commerce, with the request that
the licenses of pilots who defy District
laws be revoked.
This is precisely in line with the sus-
pension of the license of Roger Williams
for his unauthorized flight over Ber-
nnuda. Pilots must conform to the local
rules, else there will be confusion and
peril in the promiscuous use of the air
for transport. The local instance is not
TO be disregarded merely because the
emission of roaring noise in advertising
was simply a nuisance. If a municipal
rule of that character can be ignored
and violated with impunity, others can,
and no community will be safe from
recklessness in the air.
This matter should be considered by
the Department of Commerce in the in
terest of a Nationwide observance OF
laws and rules by all aviators, whether
they are engaged in scheduled trans
port or in occasional flights or in ad
vertising work. The jurisdiction of
each community in respect to the en-
forcement Of its own regulations should
be regarded as extending indefinitely
upward and also to the landing fields to
which violators descend beyond the
boundaries.

Reading aloud well is a gift
| We had the pleasure recently OF hear
| ing a 7-year-old child read several
things in prose and verse which she had
never seen before.
Few of her elders could have put the
genuine expression into what she read
/ that she did, ana yet there was none
of that bane of good reading, elocutton,
nor its opposite, the level monotone In
which so many persons read aloud.
The little girl knew by Instinct
there is no other way to describe it
! lust where to sink her voice slightly,
| Just where to raise it. how much sur
prise to put into it for an exclamation
point.
She was a born reader. The mo
tons of the voice came as naturally
! to her as the movements of the legs and
arms do with some born dancers.
Her elementary training had been but
two years. yet she was able to pick up
at random articles much beyond her
years and read them aloud better than
those who had written them.
*
The greatest charm Of her reading
was the utterly care-free way in which
she did it. Even when she stumbled
on the big words" which she did oc-
casionally, naturally enough, she car
ried it of with touch of childish gay
ETY. which was nothing short OF art.
There was IN her reading no trace OF
the sing-song quality heard In the
reading Of the average person, child or
grown up"
Every one knows the peculiar intona-
ton which most people put into their
reading. Many find it impossible to
read the conversational material OF a
letter without inserting queer and I'M
usual something into their voices which
strikes even themselves as odd.
One can never read aloud to the best
effect until this form of self-conScious-
ness is banned, and since it is so diff
cult if not impossible, to GUST it, we
say that reading aloud well is a gift.
Like the ability to make money. one
either has 1t or does not have 1t. Read
ing aloud acceptably is not in vogue at
present. but at any time now it may re-
turn, since these things have habit OF
going in waves.
Once in this country the ability to
read aloud in good style was accorded
the praise and esteem which 1t deserves.
1t was not unusual for the head of the
house" to read for several hours in the
evening.
In a few homes the book to be read
was not left to the will of the father,
but was selected by the vote of the eve
ming asSemblage. Although this charm
ing custom has largely gone out of
style, there are many persons who still
recall such evenings.
Just how great part the motion
pictures have had in making the race
minded. and thus unable to con-
centrate we'll upon the spoken word, is
difficult to say.
Yet no doubt the cinema has had
something to do with the almost uni
versal preference Of men and women of
today to read books for themselves, to
themselves and thus silently.
The good point of this is that it keeps
ostentatious persons from parading their
voices before the community. No doubt
II reading aloud we're to become fash
ionable once more, these same persons
who insist on parading themselves and
their cars forever before the city would
read aloud in thunderous voices. ,
They would want the neighbors to

Scrapping Ships Held
To Be Waste of Wealth
From the Birmingham News.

From the Birmingham News.
This modern business Of scrapping
battleships whose fighting days have
passed is a frightful waste of good ma
terial. Doubtless the scheme of sending
a thousand tons of fabricated steel into
Neptune's realms to alright its denizens
may appear to be one way to destroy
the battle lust in the minds of earth's
primitive civilized peoples.
1t is one way to bring the great pow
ers' naYies to, or toward, parity. But
why should not these old-time lighting
vessels lately doomed to watery sham
bleS be simply stripped of their heavy
ornaments and commissioned as prohi-
bition policemen on our 1000 miles OF
coastline? If that isn't permitted. why
not resolve the materials that compose
them back to the raw steel?
In the bodies of these three good, but
aged. boats lately booked for oblivion
the Florida, Wyoming and Utah-there
should be enough steel to build several
great skyscrapers for civilized persons to
dwell in. It's funny, isn't it? While
Government expenses mount and mount,
and while heavy taxes with which to
pay our worthy veterans of foreign and
domestic wars must be imposed, we are
consigning costly and useful materials,
brass, wood and steel, to the deep sea.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

There are not few Democrats who
would prefer that their party fail of
a net gain of 81 House seats. They
would really like to see Republican
control retained by a slender margin
This would enable the minority party
to stress Republican responsibility in
the second half of Mr.. Hoover's term,
while a coalition of Democrats and
insurgent Republicans to plague the
administration would be almost GER
tain to appear. Most Democrats. how
over, hope for a Democratic House as
forerunner of national success in
1882 Loss of the House by the party
in power has come to be regarded as
a sure indication OF complete po-
litical turnover two years later. This
is based on the Republican victories
of 1918 and 1894 and the Democratic
victory of 1910, each of which preceded
greater triumph in the next election.
The party of the President invariably
loses House seats in the election fol-
lowing the Inauguration. Four years
ago the Republicans lost 10, and eight
years ago, ", although retaining con-
troll of the House each time.

The End Is Not Yet.

Now that tree-sitters have made their
bid for fame along with other ridiculous
antics by publicity seeking persons. it
is not at all surprising to learn that
two young men have just performed
the daring and useful feat Of driving
an automobile across the continent
backward What an accomplishment
to be proud of! Think Of the fame that
will ring down through the ages--a
fame garnered in such a courageous
fashion by these two pioneers! Their
children and their grandchildren will
probably always bask in the plaudits Of
the whole world for this astounding ex-
ample of American ingenuity.
1t took them forty-fiye days to do it,
but nothing daunted they carried on to
this magnificent suc-c-s. And besides
the persistence which was finally re-
warded as they craned their heads
around to back into New York many
data of scientific value were discovered.
For instance. 1t was found that If a
speedometer is not disconnected and
the car is reversed the instrument
will automatically register backward
In other words. when they began this
stirring adventure the speedometer
registered sixteen thousand miles, but
after they had finished backing both
ways across the country it only regis
tered eight thousand.
other priceless gems Of information
gathered by these intrepid fellows were

son to sleep while car Is IN motion

even backward, and that If the wheels
bare round they will turn with equal
facility in either direction. OF course,
pthere were other momentWs discov-
series, but it seems useless to record
them here, first, because If they were
made public they might lose their value
for sale by the backward drivers" and
second, because they must be amply
proved by further tests before they can
be accepted as real contributions to
the motoring world. It was certainly
thought that tree-sitters and marathon
dancers and others of their ilk had
reached the height Of aSininity. But
it is not so. No, it cannot be so. How
ever, until others come along with
something else the cast-iron hairbrush
must be awarded to these pioneers. 1t
is prize well merited.
