HOG WILD GUESSING
 0N 1881 |CE BREAKUP

With the coming of warmer wea- ther, interest in the 1881 breakup derby is growing apace, with the prospect that Nenana and other in- terior towns will give the usual SUD- port to the big sporting classic, says the Anchorage Times. The un- usual conditions prevailing have all the oldtimers guessing.
 The water in the Tanana was ra- ther low when the freezeup oc- cured, the snowfall throughout the valley has been somewhat under normal and the winter has been mild one, with some delay in the coming of spring. No one can make anything out of the combination of conditions and guessing is going hog wild.

 Ordinarily these igrushkas lasted from Autumn until the food gave out, similar to potlatches. These igrushkas are given for various req sons: friendship, which was highly esteemed; forthcoming weddings; gratitude for loans; evidences of wealth; and as a general custom.
 The men wore trim hats or orna- mental caps, made for the occasion, dance singly or in pairs, holding rat ties, hopping up, bending down, squatting, bending sideways, mean while waving rattles en tempo; they pantomined the chase, hunting whales, spearing sea-lions and hair seals, shooting sea -otters; then as the dance approached a climax, dancers discarded hats and caps but retained masks, danced singly or in pairs. @E@.:'';'.''''

 Women of all ages danced alone, standing seriously in line, imper- ceptibly 'squatting, gracefully Strengthening up, shimmying similar to the Sandwich Island Hula Hula dance. At the beginning of the dance, women extended left hands palms outward, fingers closed and maintained this position while all hum in unison n without words.

Virginia'S Apple Festival.

Celebrating the splendor and bounty
Of Nature, the people of Winchester and
vicinity are conducting q festival that
has become an annual institution,
drawing great numbers OF spectators.
The season IL that of the blossoming
of the apple trees. The orchards OF the
Valley are a2low with the soft hues
OF the flowers that make the buds that
become the fruit for which this section
OF Virginia Is famous. The scene is
one OF understandable beauty, enc never
to be forgotten by those who behold 1t,

A Thorough Investigation Needed

The Commissioners are TO be COM
mended upon their prompt decision TO
turn over the investigation OF various
and sundry charges relating to design
and construction methods OF the new
Roosevelt High School to n board that
possesses the confidence of the public.
Already the first blast of criticism
launched by the unfortunate subcon-
tractor whose steel work fell down has
been broadened to include other COM
pleted work These things tend to
alarm the public, perhaps unnecessarily.
But the only way to clear the atmos-
phere Is by frank and free discussion.
followed by the unqualified opinion OF
the experts as TO what 1t means, and
their unbiased judgment of the ground
for the charges.
The forthcoming inquiry is supposed
to be complicated by the possibility OF
lawsuits resulting from efforts to fax
accountability in the case of the Roose-
veit High School accident. Some OF
the municipal Authorities have been
inclined to regard the subcontractors
demands for hearing as an effort to
develop testimony that would be useful
in litigation. But If there is any
culpability on the part OF the District,
there should be no attempt to cover it
! up by technlcalitieS, and 1t is not be-
lieved that there will be any such
attempt.
The board OF investigation will map
its own procedure, and decide upon the
method OF It's inquiry. But it should
conduct its investigation publicly, a.
least that part OF it that calls for the
testimony and examination Of various
witnesses. Such an open inquiry will
serve to convince the public as to the
nature Of the charges against the
municipality; 1t will remove any linger-
ing suspicious regarding unsafe or I'M
sound methods in construction of pub
lie buildings and it should serve to
develop clearly the duties and respon-
sibilities Of the municipalities various
inspectors. These duties and response
bilities do not seem as clearly under
stood as they might be.

all business and eli communion, the
foreign powers cannot accept less thar
the guarantees Of protection that have
been repeatedly promised and never
provided.
Though st has weathered many
storms, the government at Marking Is
not sufficiently established to justify re-
lance upon its mere promise OF protec-
ton or obedience to It's mandate Of ex-
Internationally abolition. This Summer
may yield another crucial test OF its
stability, its very integrity. The Southern
revolt Is not strictly Defined in area.
The gathering OF the Kuomintang dele
gates at Marking is not reaSsuring in
point OF numbers and representative
quality. The Northern and Eastern
provinces are by no means Assuredly
compacted as integers OF the Chinese
Republic. The endless cabals for per-
sonal leadership and local advantage
and gain have not been lessened. The
financial structure Of the republic Is in
sad disorder.
Taken altogether, China is decidedly
not In position nor has 1t the right,
all things considered, to expect that
the United States and Great Britain
will agree to 4he REIMBURSEMENT OF all
vestiges OF extraterritorial powers until
assured guarantees are given that the
lives and properties Of their nationals
will be secure under Chinese law.

distances. The day was. however, when
this would not have been possible. The
valley turnpike" was Virginia's best
highway, was practically the only really
improved" road in the state. Now It
is the focal point OF many splendid
roads, we'll graded and perfectly sur
faced, roads over which 1t Is pleasure
to ride. These permit the attendance
of motor audience Of many thousands.
IN fact, the apple festival resulted from
the improvement OF the highways of
the State, and the use to which they
strates the wisdom of q progressive and
extensive construction program by state
expenditure.

Adds Voice to Protest
On ThOughtIess Parents

To the Editor OF The Star:
Mr.. G. r. Thompscn's and E. B.
Newman'S valuable contributions seem
to be more than worthy of further
serious discussion, especially as 1t in
wolves the tendency OF observing new
ccmers to be shy OF buying houses in
our beautiful city, which Is the worlds
finest Capital. Let me cite you my ex-
perience. Like hundreds of other
Westerners who came to Washington, 1
invested $l2,250 in an end house of a
row. After three years CT work I have
succeeded in coaxing the yellow clay of
my yard into producing a 40-foot row
OF roses. My side walls face 140-foot-
square excavation. This square Is
sometimes occupied by about 40 chill
dren as a playground, despite the fact
that there are Fairgrounds within a
block from my house. These neigh
bors' children congregate at my door
and the yelling, noise and stone throw
ing is so great that We do not dare sit
on the front porch. The rear yard is
made unsafe by the missiles they
throw at each other and into my yard
Every night I have to collect stones
pieces OF brick and yellow clay balls
from my grass and rosebeds When
ask them to please desist, the answer
is You don't own this adjoining prop
erty." Rocks, balls and brickbats are
also thrown against my 8-inch side
wall. The impetus makes the dishes
rattle in my cupboard and cracks the
plaster on the wall. My grandfather's
clock is put out Of commission by the
constant shocks against the wall. As
only an 8-inch wall divides my rooms
from the empty lots, these 40 bowling
youngsters might as well be right in
my house My wife lay sick for five
weeks with dangerous illness, yet this
bombardment continued every day But
I do not blame the children, I blame
the parents. They. the parents, hear
no noise, their houses are not bonn
barded.
have owned my house wherever I
have lived, but just as Mr. Newman
says, what is there left for us to do?
Get cocped up in an apartment.
Some one of the many highly honor
able members OF the Washington Real
Estate Board would do we'll to look into
this phase OF the home buying and
home owning problem. Perhaps this
peculiar type Of parent Is a new factor
in our complex modern social economic
structure. Although I spent my boy
hood on pioneer Western farm and
have come in contact with a wide
variety OF humans in nearly every State
OF cur Union I have never before OBJ
served such apparently we'll favored
appearing beings upon whom the OBJ
legations of our decent AmericaniSm
sit so lightly as upon these parents.

China's "ExtralitY" Gesture.
