I can't remember how the subject
came up. 1t seems to me that he
introduced it, but at any rate I told
him of my disappointment in re-

"What were you doing, buddy

And that question, you see, clearly
defines my limitations. I never
have been graduated into the class
Of entertainer. It is true that at
parties, after most of the guests go
home, I have often been prevailed
on to do my imitation Of Anna Held
but this depends rather more on
gesture and facial expression than
vocal effects. 1t is hardly suitable
for broadcasting purposes.

ForeSeeS Great City

NTUsSOLINI tells the city plan
1V1 ming commission that he ex-
poets Rome to have a population Of
100000 within the next twenty
years.
If his prophecy comes true, Rome
will be about half as big in 1850 as
it was in the time of Nero.
Even the greatest cities react to
the ebb and flow Of civilization,
which is not strange. since they are
it's most important by-productS.
Nothing reveals what men have
learned and achieved like their
cities. 1t is here that they build
their temples, whether to God or
Mammon, that they pioneer and
experiment with their surplus cash.
that they blaze new trails Of art and
culture.
It is here, too, that they reveal
their virtues and vices in magrif1ed
form and provide a laboratory for
self-6tudy and self-improvement.

Flights

D YRD and his party set sail from
u Los Angeles on Oct. 10, On the
whaler c. A. Larsen, joining the
City Of New York at Dunedin, New
Zealand.
On Dec. 2, the City of New York
started for the Antarctic. AS on its
journey to New Zealand, it was
towed by the Eleanor Boiling.
On Dec. II, the Boiling turned
back and the City of New York
entered the Antarctic ice pack. On
Christmas day it arrived at the
Ross Ice Barrier. The City of New
York Is a wooden ship capable of
withstanding being squeezed in the
ice.
at once Byrd and his men began
the work of building their little
village on the ice barrier. Little
America" as they called it. This
base was established on Jan. 6,
1929, and on Jan. 16, Byrd made
his first airplane flight, exploring
a territory of 1900 square miles.
On Feb. 18, Byrd made another
flight, exploring 10000 square miles
of territory this time.
On March 8, Gould, Balcher and
June flew to the Rockefeller range
of mountains to make geological
studies. When they failed to return
on time, Byrd few to their rescue,
found that their plane had been
wrecked and brought them safely
back to camp on March %.
On April 10. the sun sank below
the horizon and the Antarctic night
set in. The camp set down to win
ter routine. But whereas other
Antarctic explorers had been cut
off from civilization, they kept in
touch with the world by radio.

History Easy TO Read

ID ONE, as the center Of a re-
N public-one can read that
chapter of her history in the Forum.
Rome, as the center Of an empire
drunk with power-one can read
that chapter of her history In the
amphitheater.
Rome, as the center Of q decadent
civilization-one can read that
chapter of her history in the broken
aqueducts and disused roads.
And out of it all, one can read
the lesson that everything pertain

mans only hope Of progress lies in
~ceaseless activity, based on ever
widening vision.

To the Pole

I'm Aug. d, by climbing the tow
~ ers which supported the radio
aerial, members Of Byrd's party
Just could see the edge of the sun
over the horizon. The Antarctic
night was over. Spring" had
arrived.
On oct. is, the supporting parties
started out with sleds and dogs on
the 450-mile journey across the
Ross Ice Shelf to the mountain
ranges and glaciers which guard the
approach to the high plateau upon
which the south pole is situated.
These mountains were the ones
through which Amundsen made his
way to the south pole. But Amund-
sen brought back little detailed in
formation about them,
He had to push on with his sleds
to the pole and then hurry back on
the long journey to his ship at the
edge of the ice shelf.
Byrd's plans, however, called for a
detailed study by the biologists Of
his party, while he went on by
plane to the pole.
Eight depots were placed across
the ice shelf. From the eighth,
Byrd few to the Queen Maude
Mountains, establishing another
base. At 1929 p. m. on Nov. %,
Byrd took off for the south pole.
He was over it at 1855 a. N. on
Nov. %.
During December, Byrd explored
an additional $4,000 square miles of
territory, discovering a new range
Of mountains.
On Feb. 10, the expedition started
for home, the first stop being New
Zealand. Byrd's present plans are
for arrival at Panama about May 1.
From Panama, he will return to
New York.

SAYS:

MEASURED by what his friends
WI as well as his foes have said,
Judge John j. Parker does not ap-
pear to have done very much TO
prove his fitness as a member Of
the supreme court outside OF the
Red Jacket case.
One gathers that but for that
much-diScusSed opinion there would
be nothing to talk about
Even those who believe that his
should not be refused confirmation.
because Of a single opinion, must
admit that a single opinion Is a
rather poor excuse for granting It.
Judging from news reports. the
most satisfactory results Of the
naval conference consist In what
each nation got for itself, not to
mention the glory each is claiming
for having saved the situation.
France is pleased because she was
able to thwart Italy'S demands with
out breaking up the show.
Italy is pleased because she was
able to see it through without CIV
ing up her demand for parity with
France.
Japan is pleased because she was
able to get a little more tonnage in
comparison with England and the
United States.
England is pleased because she
was able to obtain an agreement
whereby she is relieved from engag~
ing in a free-for-all-race with the
United States in which she could
not hope to win.
Our own government Is pleased
because it has saved three or four
hundred million dollars.
No doubt, all five are pleased over
what may have been accomplished
in the interest Of peace, but that
does not seem to cut much figure.

week went by before I got my big

Mussolini puts the recently Or

advice.
1t must modernize the town. he
says. without spelling too much OF
its ancient character, must provide
parks, boulevards, and other con
Veniences without pulling down too
many old monuments.
Many people will be surprised 10
learn that after 1000 years Of pre-

Law and Suicide

HAVING been duly convicted, the
H duchess of Leinster awaits
sentence by an English court on the
charge of attempted suicide.
Abhorrent as suicide may be, one
wonders just what crime It con-
stitutes against society, or Just how
it can be stopped by law.
You can understand how a per-
son with suicidal bent might go at
it in a half-hearted sort of way il
there no threat of punishment
in case Of failure. but it Is unlikely
that any one would be deferred.
Instead, the would-be- suicide
probably would take every pre-
caution to insure success.

W1 M JACQUELINE E Ss
 Kk ON HER OWN NN
by RICHARD STARR,

SYNOPSIS: Miss Jacqueline Grey. wanted by police in con nection with the theft of dia- mond necklace stolen at Circo's night club! Teddy MOntrose unsuccessfully attempts to allay her fears but Jacqueline is wor- ried and puzzled. She hasn't the necklace, she thinks, and is startled when she finds it in a little purse Mrs. Porter Mason gave her to hold and then dis appeared during the raid on the night club. There is but one concIusion-Mrs. Mason was the thief and Jacqueline unwitting- Iy aided her. Visions of arrest and imprisonment form in Jac- queIine's mind. She is uncertain what course to pursue and longs to talk things over with Teddy. A knock on the door frightens Jacqueline. She tucks the jewels inside her blouse and opens the door. It is Mir.

wait below in the lounge, or some where? You can smoke here"
 T will wait here" answered Ca rew
 Jacqueline was communing with herself about MT. Carew as she went out of the room. She had caught look in his eyes-the look of man who is consciously trying to fascinate a girl. What was known among the girls of Byrams as the "sheik look" But apart from this, she was not quite sure of MT Carew She remem- bered that he was a friend of Mrs. Porter Mason, and it seemed that Mrs. Mason was a mystery
 So when she had only been in her bedroom a minute, and before she started to change her frock, she slipped back through the dress ing room and deliberately applied one mischieyous brown eye to the crack of the sitting room door.
 Mir. Carew was very busily en- gagged, it seemed, in searching her room. At that moment he was at the mantelpiece, taking down the vases and looking into them. He made the rounds of the room as she stood for at least 10 minutes watching.
 He is looking for the diamonds concluded Jacqueline. He knows where Mrs. Porter Mason is, and he has come from here to get the diamonds away without saying a word about them. Well, I wish she had them, but I am not going to give them to her.
 It was wicked, she told herself, to think that Mrs. Porter Mason was a thief, that MT. Carew was the accomplice of a thief. Was it not quite possible that somebody else had stolen the diamonds and when the alarm of the raid came, had thrust them in her hand?
 Jacqueline left MT. Carew to his own devices, confident that he would not find the hiding place she had selected. When she was ready, she told him to go downstairs and get cab. She locked the door and swiftly lifted the palm out

change from the "tan chien" of their venerable ancestors to the saxophone of their white devil" neighbors across the sea is due in no little part to the influence of the Oriental flapperhood with May Wong as a typical example.
 Satisfied up to the present with their native music, which has und- ergone no appreciable change for centuries, consisting of what, to the Caucasian ear, resembles little more than a hodge -podge of primitive intonations accompanied by mon- otonous series of chords, Chinese music, according to R. J. Callen of the Brunswick Bake Collender Company's foreign recording staff, is rapidly undergoing a change.
 Mir. Callen, now in China record ing folk songs in the Cantonese and Pekinese dialect, reports that harmony, the outstanding ingred- tent in melody making, heretofore unknown to Chinese music, is about to have it's Oriental inning.
 It is his plan to shortly attempt to use duets, trios, and even quar- tets in instituting the demanded harmony in new recordings for the Chinese trade.
 According to MT. Callen, this new trend in music in the Orient may be traced to the influence of the Occident. The increasing number of young Chinese in going away to school become, in a sanse, Ameri- canized and, on returning to their native country, exert their influence by educating others in the ways of the Caucasian, which. of course, include dancing with the type of music which is it's necessary &C., compartment.

 New AnaeSthetic Found
 The medical science has recently developed a new anaesthetic for operative cases, Dr. w. w. Council told the Chamber. Sodium amy tai injections are now used. This treatment produced the same re- suit as ether, putting the patient to sleep naturally, and has none of the objectionable affects of ether.
 Dr. Council was called south early this year by the death of his father in North Carolina. He spent some time in eastern North Carolina and visited extensively in the southern part of the country.
 The entire South, he said, has been hard hit by low prices for cot ton. Rayon has proven ruinous competition to cotton goods and the manufacturers of the latter commodity have been unable to overcome it. The hard times in the South have a direct bearing on the salmon canning industry as most of the cheaper grades of sal mon have heretofore been marketed in that portion of the country.
 Dr. Council visited Atlanta where he saw the great Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial with it's carv- ed figure of Gen. Robert E. Lee, 300 feet high; New Orleans and it's Mardi Gras; Florida and it's winter resorts filled to capacity; and Southern California's winter. play grounds. In one of these places were there any indications of lack of prosperity.
 The Taku mining discoveries had been widely advertised and he heard of them all over the country. He forecast that many people would go there this Spring regardless of handicaps.
 Highway Project Slow
 While the Pacific Yukon Highway is project that appeals to the imagination, it's consummation will be slow, Maj Malcolm Elliott, Pres- ident of the Alaska Road Commis- sion told the Chamber It will be of inestimable value to Alaska when eventually it becomes an actuality instead of a dream, linking it at last to the United States as por tion of the continent.
 Just now, he added, the inertia of the Canadian dominion government is the chief stumbling block That government is neither favorable nor unfavorable, but remains to be con- vinced of the worth of the scheme.
 q have the utmost confidence the project is going through even- tually, but it is not going to be built this year, and probably not next year." he added.

 Hoonah, he said, is growing, but
 it needs more adequate transporta-

 H. M. Sawyer, head of Sawyer & Reynolds Company, logging contrae- tors, and member of the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce, was another guest of the Chamber today.
 Two violin solos, rendered by Ed ward w. Handin, were features of today's program of the Chamber.

 She replaced the plant and left them there-10,0oO pounds worth of stolen property.
 She was almost tempted to take the wretched things out and drop them in the river. But she gave a thought to the owner of the dia- monds. She was determined that these diamonds should be returned to their rightful owner-and that would not be Mrs. Porter Mason.
