raising both passenger and freight rates and this stirred up hornets nest in Alaska.
 Rates Held Prohibitive
 Wickersham contends that this move is the worst solution of the problem. Instead of in- .Tcasing revenues, he says, it will reduce them, because cost of transportation has been lift ed to prohibitive levels.
 What Alaska needs is lower and not higher rates," he de- flares. We are rich in raw ma- terials, but we cannot market them beceuse of freight rates.
 "Congress has set aside $25O.- OG0 of the railroads million dollar appropriation to develop industries and the Interior De- Dartment makes rates which prevent those already in exist ence from operating. That does not seem to make good sense."
 Wickersham insists that the Morgan-Guggenheim interests are throttling the government o"led railroad and are largely

This group owns the Copper River Railroad, running from Cordova to KennicNt, and Wickersham claims it is really a plant facility for the great copper mines along it's route. He says it's rates are purposely kept oigh to discourage copper devel- Cpment by outside interests, but that they are now being used as basis for the government own roads charges.
 The copper interests operate a steamship line between &c., ward, the southern terminus of the government line, and the states. That is the only way to get in or out of Alaska, and the: monopoly is charging all the traffic will bear-and more.
 Uncle Sam could smash this monopoly overnight by putting ] few government-owned ships into the Alaskan trade, but the -Guggenheim combine is so influential in Washington

PASTEL COLORS
AREFEATURED

This is going to be a year of
pastel colors for the smaller cars.
particularly for the sports models.
and, as the time approaches when
refiniShing becomes a problem
with the average automobile user,
it is interesting to note the cur.
rent styles in colors and their use.
Light colors create an illusion
of greater size. That is why vivid
colorS or a long wheel-baSe closed
automobile body are not always
successful. But for the smaller
cars, cheerful hues, particularly
tending toward the pastels, are
just the proper thing, not only
increasing the apparent size of
the car but also increasing its
visibility.
One all-over color will be gen.
orally used this year instead of
two or even three harmonizing
colors. This one color treatment
gives real element of unity to
the silhouette and helps solidify
the appearance of the design.
Strong contrasts between the body
color on one hand, and the fen
ders and holdings on the other,
always made a small car look a
bit disjointed.

The following advice for swimmers, issued by

ing:
Learn to swim This means every member of
your family.
If you get in water over your head don't become
panc-stricken. Keep your hands under water, push
Ing down. This will keep your head out, making it
possible for you to breathe.
Don't swim in unprotected places
Don't dive into water unless you are sure of it's
depth
Keep your small children near you at the beach
Don't use automobile inner tubes as floats
Don't duck children grown-ups It creates fear
Don't swim alone regardless Of your ability.
Don't swim past the life-nes. It takes just as
much ability to swim in water five feet deep as it
does In water 500 feet deep.
Don't swim for at least an hour and half after
eating.
Learn the prone-pressure method of resuscita-
