The Coolidge Fetish.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

NClICnndLl EnQureTD The movement designed to enlist support for the plan to draft" former President Coolidge for the Republican nomination next year is assnine and ridiculous. It is to be assumed that the sponsors of the movement have acted without the knowledge consent or approval of MT. Coolidge
 Under the Presidency of MT. Coolidge the coun- try enjoyed an of prosperity without precedent in the annals of the Nation; but MT. Coolidge had no to do with the bringing and maintenance of that prosperity than the man in the moon, and no is better of the fact than MT Coolidge himself.
 MT Coolidge fortunate in his incumbency, but he knows that no individual can "cal back pros- perity." He did not create the prosperity of his incumbency in office He wise and competent ruler and his flair for economy of great assist ance in the administration of his office. He rode the crest of favorable, irresistible tide
 The movement will amount to nothing. It should not. It certainly has no sanction from him. He could have been renomnated had he wished to be, and doubtless would have been reelected. He wise enough not to wish to succeed himself in office He may have foreseen what has happened to this country and the world. His country had bestowed upon him all the honors that any reason able man could desire. He served well. He was through He said so, and he meant 1t. He should not be called upon to the interest of ''disnterested" foolish frends-or to be made the victim of their ineptitude

MEASURING AIR GUSTS.

gust-recording instrument adapted from the common cup anemometer by c. F. Marvin Chief of the Weather Bureau is proving useful in maneuv- ering the Akron in and out of it's dock, according to reports from the Akron (Ohio) Airport where the mechanism was recently installed top of the weather observation tower near the mooring ground of the giant dirigible.
 Exact knowledge of the movement of the air Wealth. CT Chief Marvin points out is extremely important in deciding when to take off and when to land with lighterthanair craft. The Akrons navigators, therefore, vtally interested in the velocity of the wind at all times, well as in the performance of their ship under different wind velocities, as recorded by the new anemometer during each flight.
 The modified gust-measuring mechanism consists essentially of an anemometer with three aluminium cups sets up on the roof of an observation tower, connected by wires with recording device in room below. magneto attached to the axis of the revolving system of cups generates a current of electricity that varies with the speed at which the cups are spun by the wind. This current, sent on by wires to hte room below, the pen band of paper which passes along fast enough to record in full detail each momentary oscillation of the wind.
 An ordinary anemometer, Chief Marvin found will not fill the modern need, because the cups too heavy, causing lag and loss of time in their response to changes in wind velocity. Very
 light paper cups proved satisfactory under laboratory conditions, but they were not durable enough to stand the stress and strain of actual under outdoor conditions. Cups made of aluminium proved satisfactory, they light, turn quickly, and register variable velocities effectively.

 Portuguese politics have created the usual quota of strange bed fellows. The heterogeneous groups which opposed the dictatorship have composed their differences and formed what is known as the "Elec- toral Alliance" in an effort to de- feat the government.
 General Norton de Mates, a for mer premier and governor general of Angola, and Admiral Mendes Cabecadas, who was for a short time President of the Republic, are the most influential members of the coalition.
 The followers of the admiral are especially numerous in the navy. A number of prominent army officers also offered their support to the Electoral Alliance"
 Order Issued
 The government, as a conse- quence ordered that no names of new adherents to the opposition could be published.
 The alliance has raised a cam paign fund and organized propa- ganda all over the country. They are making capital of the unem- ployment problem, and their elec- toral slogan For prosperity vote for the Socialist-Republican candi- date" is based on the idea that a change of government is the only cure for present economic ills.
 While the acute depression has had an adverse effect on the work of the dictatorship, the government points with pride to five years of

TWO NOTABLE DECISIONS.

The American Legion last week at it's annual convention in Detroit took two decisive steps which deserve commendation from all thinking people The veterans after listening to President Hoovers plea to them to refrain from further bonus de- mands, emphatically rejected resolution urging the Government to cash n full the adjusted cer- tificates which, under the terms of the act provid- ing them, do not fall due until l945
 In this the Legionnaires followed the counsel of wise leaders, including Mai Ger James G. Harbord Maj Gen. Walker T. Hines and its then National Commander ONel, all of whom warned their rades that the nations finances are not now in condition to permit additional bonus payments without serious results affecting the welfare of the whole country Abebodied veterans do well to forego further requests for Government financial aid at this time. Their chief concern now and in the future ought to be stressing the need for every possible care of the wars greatest sufferers, the disabled and sick who dependent upon the Government for succor. The nation ought not to permit one of these to want for anything, and the American Legion has the right to that it does not fail in this matter
 The second notable decision of the veterans was their overwhelming vote of approval for resolution demanding referendum on the Eighteenth Amend ment by the people of each and every State We hope Alaska included in it. It went on record on this disputed issue after the Conventions Reso- lutions Committee had failed to make any recom- mendation on the subject. Certainly 1t proper for this organization of exservice to express it's views, and to ask that the Amendment be sub- mtted to popular vote Thinking people, whether Wet Dry, will commend the action which, of course, will bring down the heads of the Legionnaires condemnation from the fanatical lead CTS of such combinations the Anti-Saloon League and the Board of Temperance, Public Morals etc. of the Methodist Church.
 The American Legion severely criticised last year when it forced the bonus legislation through Congress In rejecting the proposition for immediate payment in full of the adjusted certificates and taking a positive stand the Eighteenth Amendment dispute it has done much to restore its prestige and silence the critics of its 1880 activities
 There can be no doubt that the Legions influence is strong. Its requests invariably get serious con- sderation in Congress. Already the effects of its demand for referenoum on the Eighteenth Amend ment be observed. Members of the next Con-

In this period the national currency has ! been stabilized, new roads have been constructed, the government owned railroads which were oper- ated at a loss have been leased, the troublesome tobacco monopoly question has been settled, the crime wave has been curbed and the navy reorganized.

Heavy increase in travel over the Richardson Highway is report ed by William Sits, foreman of the Alaska Road Commission camp at Mile IT out of Valdez During day working hours, in August, SIS motor vehicles, including pas senger cars and freight trucks, passed the camp. nearly twice as many as in August 1880. The vehicles carried 1,723 passengers and 1871 tons of freight. By many persons, the augmented travel over the Richardson Highway between Valdez and Fairbanks is ascribed to increased passenger fares and freight rates over the Alaska Rail- road, operating between Seward and Fairbanks.
