 mony Upon Roof

Shrill cheers from some 400 boys and girls in Juneau's grade school greeted brand new American flag when it was raised at g o'clock this morning to the top of the staff on the roof of the Capitol by Gov.

Whittier and Hazen Fuller, assistant custodians; John Newmarket, United States Inspector of Boilers, and E. M. Goddard, act- ing executive officer, Alaska Game Commission.

 Pupils in the grade school march, ed from their classrooms, immedi- ately after having entered them. and gathered on the grounds in front of the school and on Sixth Street. Students of the high school witnessed the ceremony from their study hall windows.

ERRORS CITED BY VANDERBILT
 IN ITALY CASE
Says He Did Meet Musso- lini-Writes to U. s.
 State Department

PHOENIX, Arizona, Feb. 2.-Cor- nelius Vanderbilt, jr, in a brief statement, indicated the Italian Foreign Office was in error in stating Premier Mossolini never met Vanderbilt
 Vanderbilt declined to make di- rect comment other than to recall two cables from Rome in 1926, re- ferferring to the meeting, and said: "The cables are true. Anyone has only to look at the newspaper files in 1926 and see my interview with Mussolini, which was copyrighted, and story from Rome of recep- ton by Mussolini, also copyright ed"
 Previously, through his attorney, Vanderbilt said he had advised the State Department concerning the statements of the story he told of Mussolinis automobile striking a child, which General Smedley D.. Butler repeated.
 The attorney said: General Butt Ter is being courtmartialed for mak- ing a statement against a Premier of a friendly nation while an of ficer in the Marines and it is wholly immaterial where the Gen. eral got the information
 PHOENIX, Arizona, Feb. 2.-Cor- nelius Vanderbilt, jr., may have a good many things to say concern ing the difficulties between Gen. Butler and Premier Mussolini if circumstances change sufficient ly." He said the Italian Foreign Office is now backing down on the statement Mussolini never heard of Vanderbilt.

News ertising

One Of the most interesting changes that has taken
place in the modern newspaper is in the type and
character of the advertising 1t carries. Once adver-
Using merely announced q product for sale. Today adj
v~ertising does a great deal more than that. Advertis-
ing these days is news, and 1t really ought to be called
news-vertising. 1t is designed to catch the eye Of every
p~erson-from congressman to chorus girls, from pluto
Gratis to puddle jumpers, from doctors to debutantes.
Modern advertising is really silent salesmanship, for
1t not only announces an article for sale; it ~instructs
and informs regarding that article in such a way as to
create q desire for it. And even II one doesn't buy, his
range of knowledge is increased for the intelligent ad-
vertiser, more than most other persons, ad,eres to the
old slogan of honesty being the best policy.
The story of the modern business world Is told just as
effectively, and often more forcefully- in the advertise
ments as in the news columns. Some of the best writ
ing talent in the world is employed in devising mes
sages to the consumer which catch the eye and hold the
interest. Some of the best artists in the world are
called upon for illustrations.
It all goes to show that the old way of advertising Is
past. The modern advertising writer can't just piece
together q few words, throw in a picture or two and
call his product an advertisement. That is, he can't do
this II he wants his advertisement to sell his product
The big advertisers know this and that's why the modern
advertisement is such an amazing eyeful Of informa-
ton. It's ews-vertising-and there's a moral in the
word for every merchant. You've got to tell EN- before
you can sell 'em.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
!. HERSCHEL'S BIRTH

~
On March Z, 1892, John Frederick
William Herschel, famed English as
tronomer, and son of the eminent
Sir William Herschel, was born near
Windsor.
In 1926, after his education at
Cambridge, he began his observations
of stars, to which he chiefly devoted
himself. His great enterprise was his
expedition to the Cape Of Good Hope,
in 1888, to take observation of the
southern armament. Fourteen years
later he published his results in a
volume called one of the most valu-
able of our time.
His residence at the cape gave val
liable additions not only to astron-
omy but also to meteorology. His OBJ
servations on the milky way, on the
brightness and the color of stars, on
the suns rays, on the atmospheric
air. are all very important.
Herschel also made valuable re-
searches into light, sound and celes-
tial physics. He is remembered as
the first to apply the now universally
known term positive" and negative"
to Photographic images.

is changed, the obligation will be there and viii continue
to exist regardless Of subterfuges to avoid 1t.
There has been much discussion Of the failure Of the
I. v. A. leadership at this session to hold fast its lines
and all Of 1t has been justified. Analysis. however, dis
closes that in cases where this leadership was properly
exercised it was not repudiated. On those matters which
were properly before the people In the last campaign
and on which the people may be considered to have
spoken. there was no lack Of u~nanimity in the majority
faction.
1t was only when the leadership sought to direct the
faction astray that it encountered difficulty.
The I. v. A. leaders doubtless are bordering and will
ponder this fact well. II it is not a lesson to them, It
will be q lesson to no one.
Others, who may some day arrive at political leader
ship in North Dakota, would do we'll to think about 1t
also. Their leadership will have a better chance Of being
accepted If they do.

Rechristening the Submarines

For 20 years submarines in the United States Navy
have been identified by numbers and letters which were
to most of us meaningless and unintelligible. Now the
navy has decided to rechristen them with deep sea titles
such as Bonita, Bass, Barracuda.
The wonder of it is that this happy idea had not
been thought Of years before. Submarines had no more
personality than a telephone number or automobile
license plate. And yet there was no valid reason why
thew could not have been as properly addressed as the
battleships.
If a submarine instead of the Maine had been blown
up in Santiago harbor, it is unlikely an expression like
Remember the V-67O6" would long have survived IN
American history. Figures are SO easy to forget!
