TAKE YOUR TIME

Take your time, when visiting Alaska and not make it on the run like we did, is the advice being handed out to his friends by E F. Piroutek, secretary of the Wagner National Farm Loan Association of Wagner, South Dakota, who has written Babe Hayes of Cordova that he hopes to make another trip up here soon. He expects to make the trip in the Fall so he can do some hunting. The letter was in the first air mail out of Wagner to Sioux City, Iowa.

THANKSGIVING FETE
 NAY SINK sEWARD's .
 slRTORIAL sTRA!EGY

Four very excellent reasons will draw the public out to the big Thanksgiving Eve Hop to be rendered by the Seward Athletic Club this year.
 First, it will be held Wednes- day, November 26, Thanksgiving Eve, so the guests will not have dance on the stuffed agony of the turkey that was, but in the sweet anticipation of the turkey that will be.
 Second, they will go gladly in the knowledge that they are add ing to the funds of the Seward Athletic Club.
 Thirdly, they will give thanks for the big program of sports that is promised for the winter. And last, but by no means least, their tickets of admission will give them a chance on the beautiful Mignophonic De Lux Monograph which has been do- mated by the Brown K Hawkins Corporation, with the accompa- nying record case.
 Therefore, it is anticipated that the town IS in store for 2 gala event. Tn fact it may bust itself wide open You can never tell what Seward will do if it gets excited. This time it may go hog wild But it's all in fun girls. Start fixing those runs in your rayons. Do it now. Delay doth dare disaster.

on. was puzzled Experiments proved that the effect was only the result Of sound waves
 However, I had become con vinced that this phenomenon might be employed in the detection oi wireless signals. placed two plati- mum wires at different points in the blue Hams of a Bunsen gas burner. The two wires were con nected to antenna and ground, head phones and a battery. The arrange ment worked. H
 But this gas flame was merely a laboratory set-up. After further eX periments, I decided to enclose my heated gas in glass bulb, using a filament as a source of heat. Some experimental tubes were made up for me, with carbon filaments and platinum plates.
 With antenna connected to the plate and the ground to the fila ment. together with telephones and battery connected across plate and filament, I was confronted with the by-passing of much of the signal energy through the telephone and battery circuit, with considerable loss of efficiency.
 "As a solution, I conceived a third element. At first this took the form of a tinfoil band around the outside of the bulb, but that had little influence on the action of the tube.
 Next I tried a coiled wire in side the glass bulb. After various arrangements I decided upon a zigzag length of wire placed direct ly between the filament and plate. Because of its shape I named it the grid
 Three sets of batteries were re- quired and these I named A, B, and c batteries for want of better terms.
 And so I worked out the first practical vacuum tube. This first hree-electrode tube dates from 1906."

farther than that. Another tagged fish was taken off the coast of Si- beria, where it had travelled from Alaska. In this case the astonish- ing part was the rapidity with which the fish must have travelled. It was tagged in Alaska on July 4, 1923, and on August Is was talk en in Siberia. We have also put in counting weirs in the streams so that we are able to count the fish that ascend to the spawning ground and make sure that a sufficient number do ascend.
 Seek Future Permanence
 By making use of the great net work of scientific facts that we have gathered, we are trying to as- sure the future permanence of Alaska's fisheries by wise and far seeing regulations. The regulating of any resource is a trying job and enc bound to make, the regulator unpopular with many people, for a time at least. Personally, l owe a deep debt of gratitude to President Hoover, who, when Secretary of Commerce, gave his hearty sup port to this work, and to his suc- cessor, Robert P. Lamont, who is just as staunch a supporter of this valuable conservation work. In fair ness to the commercial fishermen, I may add that their confidence in and support of our program has steadily increased. And this is cer- tainly much to their credit, for at first they seemed to be in a position to lose much in giving up present certain profits for 2 rather uncertain gain in the fu- ture That is apt to warp ones vis- ion. But as time has gone on, they have come to see that in this, as in many other things, little care in the present means safeguarding the future.
 I hope that I have been able to make Alaska sound interesting and that you will all look forward to one day seeing it's beauties. In the meantime you can build up your strength on diet of salmon and keep out the cold with sealskin coat.

By C. E. BUTTERFIELD GA. P. Radio Editor)

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Mans most flexible means of communi- cation, the wireless telegraph and telephone, now all summed up in the magic or radio, owes its big debt to Dr. Lee De-Forest.
 It was he who conceived the idea for vacuum tube which nearly 30 years ago revolutionized radio.
 At the time he began his experi- ments on electronic devices there was radio tube, but not like the one ultimately developed The only tube, known as the Flemong valve, contained but two clements, a fila ment or electron emitter, and a plate, or collector. It would merely act as a detector of radio signals.
 Dr. DeForest, in sense, added third element or wire, which he called a grid It not only made the tube a better detector but made possible it's use as powerful am plifier as well as making it avail able for transmission
 Many of the possibilities it opened up including it's incorporation in telephone work for cross-country transmission, are evidenced on every hand in the radio world and in nu- mercuS laboratories today.
 So important has the vacuum tube become in modern life, that it's inventor has been mentioned as a possible winner of the Nobel prize in physics this year.
 How he made his discoveries is perhaps best told in Dr. DeForest's own words.
 Follow me back to 1920" he said. Evenings found me in hall bedroom in Chicago experimenting with a toy called wireless teleg- fsphy.
 T had a spark coil that gave a crashing spark. A peculiar thing happened When I operated the spark coil, the Welsbach gas light would dim while the spark was

roast. As Commissioner of Fisher ies I do not mind confessing that my own pantry contains many cans, and I for one never roar with rage when canned salmon-either "au naturel" or dressed up as a souffle or a salad-appears on my table. If we only had television now you could all see that I am good ad for the nourishing qualities of canned salmon.
 Fascinating Life History
 Most of my radio audience may be familiar with the fascinating life history of the Pacific salmon. But for those who are not want to tell how after reaching maturity in the sea, the adult salmon return with unerring and uncanny instinct to the stream of their birth, where they spawn and at once die. Hav- ing handed on the torch-life is finished. As the spawning season is in the fall and the eggs do not hatch until the following spring, there is a short period in the life of the salmon family when the parents are dead and the progeny have not yet begun the business of life. No salmon ever saw either Of it's parents and will never see any of it's children. They are born or phans and die childless. From this story you will see how easily run of salmon may be wiped out of particular stream and how import ant it is, both from the safmon's standpoint and our own, that a sufficient number of fish escape the fishermen's gear and reach the spawning grounds to perpetuate the race.
 Some Interesting Experiments
 We have made some very inter- esting experiments in tagging sal mon and thus following the course |of the various runs along the Alas kan coast. It is amazing to dis cover the vast distances which the fish travel One tag was returned from British Columbia where it had been taken from salmon tagged two years before off the coast of Washington. The distance it had travelled is more than 600 miles by direct water route, and undoubtedly the fish had gone

BEAUTY SHOP" WILL BE GIVEN
 HERE BY ELKS
Local Talent to Be Obtain ed for Cast for Play
 in February

Stage entertainment in the na- ture of a musical comedy with the parts taken by young men and young women of Juneau, will be presented under auspices of the Elks Lodge the first week in February, according to prese n t plans. The play will be The Beau ty Shop" and it will be directed and the cast of characters trained by MT. and Mrs. c. H. Lewis.
 "The Beauty Shop" with local casts, has recently been given in Ketchikan and Petersburg under direction of MT. and Mrs. Lewis, and it achieved signal successes Tn both places. It was presented here under auspices of the Elks by MT and Mrs. Lewis seven years ago, and met with popular favor
 Fresh and Interesting
 By the introduction of new songs and new repartee and with the continual renewal of costumes, the piece has been kept fresh and in- teresting. It is sure to attract and entertain persons who saw it on it's previous presentation here.
 M. H. Sides, secretary of the Juneau Elks lodge, has been in correspondence with MT. Lewis, now in Petersburg, where he just con- cluded an engagement.
 Arrangements Completed
 Arrangements are virtually com plete for pres ntation of The Beauty Shop" MT. Sides said. "The date is not definite but it will prob ably fall in the first week in February. MT. and Mrs. Lewis are expected here shortly Until their arrival, of course, nothing can be determined as to the cast of char acters. When the play was given here before, Harry Sperling was in the leading role and Martin S. Jcrgensen was the comedian. They may be induced to participate again"
 The expectation is that the Coli scum theatre will be the place of the plays presentation.

O'MALLEY TALKS OVER RADIO 0N| SEAL AND FISH.
Commissioner Makes Fine Address on Alaska
 Biggest Industry

One Cf the most interesting talks on Alaska of the year was made earlier this month by Commission CT Henry OMalley, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and broadcast over the Columbia Broad casting Sstem from station UMAL, Washington, D. C.
 It was entitled: Alaska, Its Fur Seals and Fisheries" It not only depicted the resources themselves, but recounted some of the Gov ernment's problems and the meth ods used in attacking them.
 Rcstc-Fng Seal Herds
 The Commissioner talk follows in full:
 A cold December night is hardly the time to try to boom Alaska, which in the popular imagination is a land of ice and snow and in win ter what seems eternal darkness. However, as part of my talk will concern itself with fur seals 1t may not be quite so unreasonable, for that warm soft fur makes any cold seem balmy.
 Pribil0f Islands
 Two hundred and fifty miles off the mainland of Alaska in Boring Sea lie the Pribilof Islands-mere dots on the map as one looks at it. But on this group of rocky, tree less islands is the breeding ground of the worlds largest fur seal herd. At one time this herd was esti- mated at 3,000,000 or more anil mals. But so many people felt that a seal on the back was worth two in the sea that by 1910 the herd had been reduced to about 0,O00. Pelagic sealing-which means the promiscuous killing of seals at sea with the result that the pups left on shore die of arvation-threat- ened the complete extermination of the herd. A realization of this condition led to the adoption of the fur-seal convention of 1911 between the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Russia. By this treaty pelagic sealing was prohibited and the restoration of the herd en- trusted to the United States. The Secretary of Commerce, through the Bureau of Fisheries, was given the job, and so well has it been done that the herd now numbers more than 100000. And this year over 42,000 males were killed with out in any way interfering with the proper growth of the herd.
 Pelts Go tC St. Louis
 The pelts from these seals-which represent about 30 per cent of the worlds production-are shippe from Alaska to St. Louis to be dressed and dyed. They are then sold for the Government at public auction and take their place in the flow of industry all over the world. Any Of you who are fortu- nate enough to have sealskin coat may realize that it has travel ed long way from the island in the Boring Sea before it has come into your possession. The fur is unexcelled for it's elegance, durabil- ity, and utility Even at the risk Of having someone guess my real age, I will admit that I can re- call when the possession of a seal-
