SCOOPS COLUMN
By SCOOP--HIMSELF

Although it has been one whole
week l am just getting over Christ
mas.
l attended two dinners, the first one
an old-fashioned family affair which
consisted of eating everything in
sight, and the second one at the home
of one of my close friends, where you
could ask for a second helping with
out feeling the least bit embarrassed.
At the first affair, I'll have to hand
it to my brother-in-law, Archibaldson.
Either he had been saving up or the
capacity of that food holder of his
has increased astonishingly. There
were no bashful wallfowers at this
gathering. Everyone knew everyone
else and it was common knowledge
that "Rufus" was going to get all the
white meat unless you got it first.
Since the boss editor served, and
blood is thicker than water, Scoop had
to be content with one of those small
turkey legs.
AS usual at this Christmas affair,
there were two classes of eaters: the
kind who left room for the fruit cake,
cookies, and pie, and the kind who did
not leave room for the fruit cake,
cookies, and pie. Both types were
represented with the latter class in
the majority. However, the class who
didn't leave room for them, ate them
anyway, and completely filled their
stomachal tube Then on top of this
they picked around the candy boxes
all afternoon, filling up the tube as
the gastric juices mingling with the
stomach contents endeavored to ligh-
ten the load. The fatter the person,
the more candy was taken, which
seems to be an old Spanish custom
among the obese.
During the afternoon an argument
arose as to who had the biggest
mouth, Scoop or Archibaldson. AS
there was only 36-inch tape measure
in the house we were unable to meas
ure Archibaldson's so Col. Bell came
up and took picture. The Republi-
can readers can judge for themselves.

Ought To Hold Inaugural

If we "did the right thing by our
Nellie, we would have an inaugural
parade of all those who have just
taken office, but on account of the
snow and the fact that there will be
celebration enough on New Years, the
procession has been indefinitely post
poned.
However it would be a sight for
sore eyes to see a parade of such
celebrities, probably led by Doc Henry
carrying his first aid kit, Cullers put
ting up a good argument for some
thing or other, Markley putting out a
smoke screen with that pipe of his,
and Fike not far behind.
In point of service to his country,
Zell Tower should be out in front, and
directly in rear should be Truman w.
Casteel, George D. Browning and E.
E. Friend. Haenftling might be riding
his OK team, and w. M. Frazee, his
spreader. Little James Fitzwater
would be there, and George w. Har-
vey, J. ]. Ashby, Homer Friend, T.
E. Bishoff and w. w. Dawson would
be on hand with something to say
(probably a joke he heard recently
and the parade would conclude after
C. Nit Sincell had passed the review
ing stand.
A gigantic affair could probably
have been made out of this, if old
Boreas, the north wind, would have
turned in the other direction.

 MUST FACE FOC BANKS 0N PACIFIC
WEATHER AROUND ALEUTIANS NOT FAVORABLE FOR
 FLYING, SAID

Normal summer weather condi-
 tions over one of the routes con-
 sidered by Col. Charles A. Lind bergh for his proposed flight to the Orient are almost anything but conducive to comfortable fly ing, according to an Eastern pa per.
 Almost constant fog banks and quick rising storms make flying rather hazardous along the south ern coast of Alaska and the Aleu- tian Islands -t the most popular route outlined by all who seek to
 cross the Pacific by plane.
 The major difference between winter and summer along that route lies in the absence of rain and snowfall during the summer months. Other elements remain
 about equal.
 Fog banks are more common than not along the AleutianS. Vii cious storms have the habit of springing up quickly. Weather

Seward.
 From Seward to Dutch Harbor there is only one regular landing place for planes, Chignik, some
 400 miles from Seward, and that ]! is seldom used. But numerous bays and inlets all along the AL
 aska Peninsula provide emergency
 landings.
 Dutch Harbor, approximately $50 air miles from Chignik, is the most important point of habita- tion between Seward and Siberia. land boasts of a good harbor. West of there, along the entire string |of Aleutian Islands, small bays and harbors are numerous, but provisions and fuel would have to be arranged for in advance.
 Lindbergh would leave civiliza-

tion, so to speak, at Dutch Harbor and from there until he reached Kamchatka he would be almost out of touch with the world, ex- cept for his own radio and the few radio equipped fishing ves- sells that might be plying along the Aleutians. He would be north of the regular steamship lanes.

renorts are not available for large area west of Dutch Harbor, steamer point of call west of the Alaska Peninsula, because of pecu- liar atmosphere conditions which make forecasts impossible.
 A Big Chance
 Anv flier who chooses the Aleu- tian route takes big chance. If he is lucky he has chance of pulling through, for islands are numerous. Almost all of them have a few natives and some pro- visions on them. But aviators who fly the north country would rather trust themselves over the desolate Yukon river, where land ing places and habitants are few and far between, than over the Aleutians, where natives, and fishing boats make the region ap- jpear somewhat populated in com parison.
 Fog banks and storms are ele- ments which no flier likes to com bat. The violent storms of the northern regions place plane at their mercy.
 If Lindbergh decides to take the usual" route across the Pacific he would probably have clear sail ing along the coast line of North America as far as Seward, Alaska. There would be the possibility of sudden storms and some fog banks ] but if he encountered trouble he would probably be able to reach some landing point, as there are numerous habitants along the southwestern Alaska coastline. But from Seward on the success of the flight largely would depend upon the weather
 Another proposed route would carry him north of Juneau to SkagWay, Alaska, and thence to Atlin lake in northwest British Columbia, and the headwaters of the Yukon. This mighty river could then be followed to it's mouth, a point south of Nome.
 This route would be longer, but normally weather conditions would be more favorable. The Yukon flows far inland across the north central part of Alaska During the summer the weather in this re- zion is usually pleasant, with long hours of sunlight. There is not much danger of serious storms. F'ueling points and other places of habitation are somewhat scarce. put the river would offer a wide, comparatively safe avenue of flight, with a landing possible for a seaplane at almost any time.
 There would be two hops across the open water, one from the mouth of the Yukon to Nome. about 100 miles across Norton bay: the oth CT from Fairwav cape across Bering strait to Siberia about 50 miles. The flight would then proceed down the coast line or Siberia and Kamchatka.
 Land-LOcked Harhors
 Natural land-locked harbors ex- tending at intervals almost all the way from Seattle to the, end of the Aleutian Islands would pro- i vide Lindbergh with frequent land ing places.
 Starting at Seattle, where he would have the choice of Lake Union, used by the Alaska-wash- l lngton Airways for seaplane land lngs and takeoffs, or a section of Lake Washington, where the Sand polnt naval air station is located. ne would have a long array of smooth-surfaced landing noints that would make frequent stops possible.

 Corrilne glanced up, too. Nancy beCkeT NdS COIflills5 Hl tOWal q her. Without q seconds hesitation Corrinne swung around and started t. arrange the bolts of goods. She was aware that Nancy stood directly in front ,i' her stool that another girl had finally started to wait on her; but she couldn't make her eyes meet the amused ones which she expected to find in Nancy's Becker S face. Finally she swung around.
 But there was no sign of recos- milton in the face which glanced carelessly at her. Nancy was order ing white cheese cloth for an indo or winter carnival scene which a club was staging.
 Corrinne gave a sigh of relief. Then Harry hadn't confided in Nancy. She wasn't sent to spy. But she hardly had seen Nancy step into the elevator when she saw Harry at the far side of the store.
