Any views about women held
by a man past 40 are unimport-

H. L. Mencken (who recently

man over 80 could fall in love?
Every man loves to be
mothered-a little; and every
woman loves to be bossed-a
little. But, nobody loves a
guardian, a keeper, a reformer
or q jailor.
A woman is always happiest
when she is doing something

fall are the man Of the hour

one days pay each month.
Most of this money to be ex-
pended to former employees and
the families Of present en-

Thus the older firms could
give a pension ranging from

each year Of service, to those
who have reached 10. The man
who had worked IS years Of
his life for different firms all
of which are now still in busi-

would receive $45 per month.
His wife could receive from the
State $50 per month. All States
should adopt the old age pen

This plan would save the cost
Of officials, nearly every dollar
paid in to 60 to the men who
would benefit by it. Many
could receive more than the
States could afford to pay. The
Government should also pen

the age of 70 and need it. The

No Standard Regulations for
City Milk Supplies

The Public Health Service again emphasizes that despite
the known Importance Of pure clean milk there is woeful
lack Of standardized milk regulations throughout this country
frequently poor enforcement Of what regulations have
been adopted.
We have pure food laws that apply to foods less important
to the welfare of the nation than milk but constant objection
to Capitalization prevents adequate milk Federal law
rgidly enforced through Federal milk inspectors.
The Public Health Service some years ago formulated
standard milk ordinance for such cities and wished
adopt it and in the last years 400 American cities
have enacted it. enforcing it's provisions in fairly satisfac
tory
This ordinance provides standardized specifications for
grade milk and grade pasteurized milk If these
violated LOCAL health officers require that the milk BE-
labeled with lower grade milk labels that the public may be
tributers.
Rigid enforcement Of these regulations brings high quality
milk supply desirable in every community and it is
believed that in the course of years. American munic
paliies will voluntarily subscribe standardized control Of
milk supplies

Robin Whistles for

A robin called his notes

and I guiltily shift and "step-

HISTORY AND BAND MUSIC
 CHIEF HITS
R eturns from Question nairiies Show Popular
 Radio Forms

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1l-School children prefer history to all other subjects broadcast by radio for their instruction.
 A survey conducted by Miss Flor ence Fox, specialist of the bureau of education, shows poetry and music lack the fascination history has for children.
 Returns from questionnaires sent to 25 states indicate also that dram atization is the most popular form of presenting educational subjects and the band is the favorable type of music
 The types of presentation in the experimental broadcasts in c lu d story telling, dramatization, music, lecture, dialogue, debate, recitation and interview. Of these, 94 per- cent of the pupils preferred drama |tization, story telling ranking sec ond with 82 per cent. The lecture method was opposed by 75 per cent and the interview by 59 per cent.
 All of the l5 literary and musi- cal programs were blackballed by from per cent of the pupils in re- spect to some programs to 37 per cent in respect to others Of the Is history programs, only five were voted poor" and those by a small number.
 Some of the teachers made the criticism that certain programs were too mature for the students com- prehensien, interest and experience. About 85 per cent Of the pupils heard the programs distinctly.

 ful School Year

AlaSka's public school system is in good condition at the outset of a new school year, declared L. w. Breuer, Commissioner of Educa- ton, who returned this week from trip that took him into some of the remotest districts as well as the larger towns of south central and interior Alaska. He predicted a highly successful year and contin- ued increase in enrolment in the schools.
 He visited Cordova and vicinity, Seward, Anchorage and all towns on the Alaska Railroad to and in- cluding Fairbanks, creek towns in that region, Kuskokwim River com munities from McGrath on the up- per reaches to Bethel near the mouth; Nome, Candle, Teller, Deer ing, Kotzebue and St. Michael. He met and conferred with teach {, CTS and members of various school boards, discussing the needs of sev- eral schools and the program for the current year. While some of the schools will have smaller lists of students, the majority of them, particularly in the larger towns, will show gains over last year. , Three schools-Nushagak in the Third, Fox in the Fourth and Port Alexander in the First Division have been closed down owing to lack of the required number of stu dents. A special cooperate school has been opened at Hecata, where a large logging operation is in pro- gross.

Of course, there is unemployment but there always is a certain number of in iividuals out of jobs, certain per sons living in the fringe of indus

These and others whose places in industry have been filled ! by machinery probably constitute a large percentage of the present idle group in the country, he said ! There is interest in Alaska wher- ever you go," he added. Some peo- pie are interested in scenery, others in the Territory's natural resources, it's game animals, etc. Many are attracted here by the brown bear, he said, and it would be unfortu- nate of that animal were cxtermi- mated

 Territory and on matters which
 eoncern sections outside of Juneau" i he said
 He attended meetings at Fair banks and Nome and brought greet ings from them to the local organi- zation.
