Japan i'll carrying out the aims Of the

Then Japanese flyers bombed the

ment complained about a breach Of
faith on the part Of the Japanese mill
tary leaders and the action Of the
Council Of the League Of Nations ap-
peared to be Jeopardized.
1t is only then that the State De-
partment thought it necessary to sug-
gest to the signatories Of the Kellogg
pact that that peace instrument should
be invoked.
Notes Sent by Five Powers.
The foreign secretaries Of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Italy and
Spain last Saturday sent a note to the
japanese and Chinese governments
drawing their attention to the pro-
visions of the Kellogg pact whereby all
the signatories including Japan and
China had agreed to settle their differ
ences without resorting to arms. For
eign Secretary Artstide BRAND of France
has notified the other so signatory ma
tons Of the action Of the five powers
and has invited them to send similar
notes to the Japanese and Chinese gov
ernments. BRAND has made 1t clear
in his note that this note to Japan
and China was not sent in the name Of
the League, but that the five powers

In recent issue of Holiday" magazine of travel sport recreation and adventure, appears splendid ar tcle by Ernest Walker Sawyer concerning the proposed Pacific Yukon highway entitled Paving the Way to AL aska.'
 The two terminal points on land, Mr. Sawyer men, tons Seattle and Seward At the conclusion of free full and general discussion of the highway and questions relating thereto, MT. Sawyer writes as follows:
 Here at Seward the gateway to Alaska
 magnificent harbor and it's gracious metropolitan atmosphere
 here both the beginning great circle
 which leads through continents
 finest holiday lands
 It is unanimously conceded by thousands of tourists who have already visited Alaska that no section in the world has to offer the traveller than the Territory Tn fact Alaska has already reputation the most de- srable summer playground and travelled portion of the world can approach Seward and the Kena peninsula for accessible scenic attractions and nowhere are there such opportunities for devotees of rod and gn truly sportsman's paradise.
 And the outlook for returns on investments are as great in the Territory elsewhere and the likelihood of gaming permanent settlers from tourists and vacation 1ss IS as bright here anywhere in the world There work and opportunities here for all who come The com peton of the Pacific Yukon highway will be another link m the continental chain that will usher Alaska in to an unparalleled era of good times.

BUGS WITH NEW HEADS

One of the most interesting biological experiments recently noted is that of grating the heads of one kind of bug on the bodies of another feat accomplishment by German scientist reported by the Associated Press
 1t is said that when the head of beetle was grafted on the body of June bug it tried burrow in refuse ment caused the beetle with June bugs head to tv to climb tree. When female head was grafted on the body of male insect of the species it's actions be- came characte1stic of the female, and wise versa.
 Certain insects said to r. well adapted to such experiments they live for considerable time after decapltaton because their organs of breathing are dis tributed over their whole bodies
 Possibly some day scientists will prove the fallacy of the saying You must not expect old heads on young shoulders
