THE COASTLINE CONTROVERSY
In Which Mr. Will Rogers Gives His Own Version of the Dis
cussions and Progress "Sinkings."

LONDON, England, January 49,
Ramsay Macdonald opened the ses-
sion today and asked each nation
alphabetically, beginning with S,
what they were prepared to sink.
MR.. STTMSON, America, speak
ing also for Wisconsin and Alabama:
We'll, the whole thing is such
surprise, Mr.. Speaker. it's so taken
me and my little faithful band of
colleagues that we arc fiabbergasted.
I didn't expect to be called on and
I really brought no music. We are
peculiarly situated in that we have a
coastline where both oceans touch
US. Outside Of that, am nom
pluSsed."
Australia, what have you come
to sink?"
MR.. FENTON: well, you will
pardon me, boss, but we just come
for the buggy ride, but If the COM
rades are speaking of coastline, we
have ample sufficiency to enter this
conference"
And you. Canada?"
MR.. RALSTON: I'VE will sink
that 1900 miles of unguarded inter-
national border If Americans don't
quit Dragging about it. It's already
practically barricaded with empty
bottles"
France, parlez vous little sink
ing?"
TARDIEU: I'VE have many
colonies in addition to our home
coastline. have no idea the exact
mileage, but know it's much more
than Italy. Even If italy has the
most, ours is the longest. We are
next to England in having procured
coastline for this conference. You
would really be surprised what our
needs are"
MIR. Macdonald then enacted the
role of POSTMASTER and announced
England's coastline as follows:
I'VE are an island, and naturally
an island accumulates coastline
very rapidly. Our ships are on every
sea. In fact, it takes all the seas to
hold EN-. India, arise and tell the
gentlemen about your coastline."
MR.. CHATTEREEE: "oh, you
should see our coastline. It's prac-
tically continuous"
Irish Free State, do you, by any
possible chance, join the ocean?"
MR.. SMIDDY: Say, you never
saw a nation that tried SO hard to
get in the ocean as we do, and our
coastline is second to none. COM
pared TO the amount of land that
washes 1t, and we have another
boast in common with the mother
country. We are also an island.
We have no boat to sink, but in
case one ever shows up there, we will
be more than willing to cooperate"
ITALY, how's the sinking down
your way2"
MR.. GRANDI: I'VE are practi-
cally an island. All that keeps us

HOW COMMUNITY CHEST HELPS
One of Series of Articles on the Practical Results of
Cooperative Charity.
BY A. G. RAMISCH.

Vice President and General Manager,
Columbia Polytechnic Institute for the Blind.
The membership In the Community
Chest has greatly relievedsthe manage
ment Of the Columbia Polytechnic In
Stttute for the Blind from the arduouS
labor and anxiety Of raising funds with
which to carry on the work of furnish
ing instruction and employment to the
adult blind of the District
For several years concerts have been
arranged, all the work being done at the
institute, and no one can realize the
amount OF time required unless he has
had actual experience If the receipts
from the concerts had not been ade-
quate extra time was necessary for per-
sonal soliciting among our friends.
The membership in the Community
Chest has encouraged the management
OF the institute so that the meager
weekly handicap. of $7.92 paid seven
sightless employees may be increased to
living wage of $12.
Now that the institute Is member of
So agencies for social welfare in the
District its management hopes and be-
lieves that the Chest will Immediately
provide for the admission of one addi-
tional white man and one colored man
for instruction and employment in the
institute. These are most worthy cases
and sponsored by prominent citizens.
In view OF the fact that workshops
like ours exist IN practically all. Of the
States and that handicaps or pensions
or relief afford worthy sightless people,
we believe our work, enabling the en-
ployes TO maintain their own homes,
wholly or in part, is an undertaking
that appeals to intelligent public and
most modern method in social welfare
work.

The resolution extends Ito our vote
less and unrepresented fellow Americans

from being one is the Alps Noun
tains, but Mr.. Mussolini is rapidly
moving them, so that our naval
needs win be as great as any other
European nation. We have a ripping
coastline.'
Japan, what can you offer to the
statistics of nations in regard to
coastline?"
MIR. wAKUSATKUI: Japan is
an island and we depend on our
navy to keep it an island. Our
coastline is exceeded by few, and
the quality Is excelled by none"
MR.. MACDONALD: 1.-THE meet
ing is adjourned. If there looks
like any reason to ever have you all
meet again I win let you know. In
case should. wish you would have
your army of experts figure out for
you the exact amount of coastline
you have. This uncertainty is hold
ing up this coastline conference, and
we will never get anywhere till
somebody sinks some coastline.''

More service and regular service are what the Alaska Steamship Company has arranged to give Southeast ports of this territory according to advices received from the Seattle headquarters office by Willis E.

 The Alaska will be added to the exclusive Southeast service" ex- plained MT. Novel; "She will oper- ate in conjunction with the Ala meda and Northwestern in these waters.
 Train Time Operation
 That is not all. She will operate in train-time fashion, docking on the minute, as called for by her schedule. Her comings and goings will be so regular that residents in ports of call will be able to keep clocks and watches running correct ly by adjusting them to her ar rivals and departures.
 Tn former years, the Alaska has been operated on the Southwest route. During the present winter, she is undergoing overhaul in Se- attle and will be equipped with turbo-electric drive, which will en- able her to maintain her next sum- mer's schedule without delay and without vibration.
 Nine Days, Round Trip
 '"The Alaska will make six voy- ages between Seattle and Juneau by way of the Inside Passage. Each round-trip voyage will require nine days. Her way ports of call will be Ketchikan, Wrangell, Sitka, Skag- way, Haines ad Taku Glacier.

 Ballast Needed In Winter
 In winter, all large vessels operat- ing in Southeast and Southwest Alaska waters require ballast of some sort, other wise difficulty would be experienced in navigation during stormy weather Boats of the Pacific Steamship Company hereto fore have ballasted with coal, while those of the Alaska Steamship Company have arranged coal and ore loadings to provide the neces- sary weight at the bottom of the hull. The Queens experiment with discarded ore material is expected to prove more economical than any of the practices of the past.
