SURVEY ISSUES
 TOOTH REPORT

In the one hundredth annual re- port of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey released to- day, Director R. S. Patton states that the high concept of the fidel- ity and integrity adopted as the initial standard for its work has since been scrupulously adhered to through all vicissitudes. It embod- ies a vision of useful service which remains responsive to the changing needs of the navigator and the en- gineer.
 Manufacturing Plant
 The report likens the Coast and Geodetie Survey to a comprehensive manufacturing establishment Its surveying parties go out into the field and gather the raw materials. Those raw materials are shipped to Washington, D. C., where the central plant is located. In this plant the materials are worked over and from them are derived certain final products Tn forms suit able for public use. These products invariably take the form of publica- tions, and the final and culminat- ing step in the process is the quan- tity production. All nautical charts and airway mays are pro duced in it's own printing plant. Coast Pilots and other information relating to nautical charts, tidal and current surveys and data. geo. detic control surveys in the inte- rior. investigations relating to ter restrial magnetism and seismology, and other data which this public service bureau prepares. are all printed at the Government Print ing Office.
 Photographic Surveys
 It is stated that photographic surveys in Alaska are progressing at a moderate but satisfactory rate with the three vessels. Surveyor, Discoverer and Explorer, working in this area.
 Tide Stations
 The primary tide stations at Ket- chikan and Seward were continued, a total of 30 being in operation at the close of the year to furnish the basic data necessary to the control of it's Photographic surveys, to the prediction of tides for the mariner, and to the intelligent execution of much engineering work along the coasts. A secondary tide station was also in operation at Cordova through the cooperation of h e Chamber of Commerce.
 Magnetic Stations
 Twenty of the 1O5 magnetic sta tions occupied during the year were in Alaska. The object of the mag netic work during the first half of the year was to complete the oc- eupation of repeat stations-selected

SalvatiOnist Uses Train, Handcar, Auto,
 DOgsledS, Aerial Tram On Official Visits

Staff-Captain Acton left on the Northland yesterday for a visit to Salvation Army corps at ports north of Wrangell. He will visit Petersburg, Rake, Sitka, Angoon, Tenakee, Hoonah, and Juneau be- fore returning to Wrangell.
 An issue of the War Cry last summer gave an account of the Staff-Captain's visit to Cordova and Kennecott.
 Being so far from larger centers the Salvation Army Corps at Cor dova, looks forward to the annual visit of the Divisional Commander. He is the only white Salvationist the two young women officers see from year to year, and so all kinds of special plans are made for this suspicious occasion. This year Staff-Captain Acton spent two weeks in Cordova and sur rounding district in an endeayor to encourage the officers and help the people. During the visit a splendid series of meetings were held, attended by a large number of persons, especially encouraging was the large number of young people in attendance.
 Journeys were made to distant outposts or towns which meant travelling several hundreds of miles by train, hand car, auto mobile, dog sled and aerial bucket.
 After helpful services at Cor doya both at the Salvation Army Citadel and at the High School,

Mcbride of did the electrical work.
 The people of Wrangell feel that they have received full value for their money and they are very proud of their new school.

where a very splendid body of intelligent young people listened to the address of the visitor, the Staff-Captain accompanied by the Cordova officers boarded the train for Kennecott and other points enroute. The railway which has it's terminus at the greatest cop per mine in the world, is two hundred miles long, and was built to convey the copper ore from Kennecott to the sea coast at Cordova.
 For seven weeks previous to the trip of the train on which the Salvationists were passengers the town had had no train owing to snow slides The incessant effort of one hundred men aided by large notary snow blows eventual ly succeeded in forging a way through huge mountains of snow. With what joy the inhabitants of the three small mining towns along the way, hailed the approach of the train! They had been seven weeks without fresh food stuffs, with the exception of what the airplane had brought in, but this made the cost of the food almost prohibitive, for who could afford eggs at one dollar per dozen? Of course, when one remembers that airplane naviga- tion is most hazardous in this re- zion it is quite easy to under

NICHOLAS LONGWORTH

In the passing of Nicholas Longworth,
speaker of the house of representatives,
the country loses foremost citizen, the
Republican party is deprived of one of
its leading figures and the Hoover ad-
ministration is robbed of badly needed
friend who has been tower of strength
TO it in the past two years.
Possessing genial personality, a ca
pacity for making and holding friends
and thoroughly schooled in the American
system of politics, Longworth was an
excellent leader. His good humor and
patience were we'll recognized in the Leg
islative body over which he presided so
ably and his ability as parliamentary
ian was demonstrated time and again in
the lively skirmishes with which the
course of legislation is marked in the
house.
In Washington circles it has long been
recognized that Mick and Alice, as the
speaker and his wife were known, made
a team that was high in the affairs Of the
Republican party and to have them on
the side of any proposed legislation in
sured good chances for its victory. And
that upon which they frowned faced
battle.
During the first two years of the
Hoover regime Longworth battled vail
antly in behalf of the administration even
though he was supposed to be somewhat
lukewarm toward the President as
party leader. Only on the payment OF
the soldiers bonus did he oppose the
Hoover policies.
His passing creates void in national
political circles that will be difficult to
fill.
man who could be as active in poll
tics as he was for a quarter of a century,
retaining the respect and confidence OF

OPINIONS DIFFER
OVER CAUSE OF
ROOF COLLAPSE

BERKELEY, Cal, April 8. U.n)-
The collapse OF a building under
construction at the University OF
California here, killing at least two
men and seriously injuring 10
others, was blamed today on the
failure of a patent shore used
to support the skeleton roof.
An entire section OF roof, on
which reinforced concrete was be-
ing poured, caved in without warn
ing and sent worknlen 10 death
and injury amid a mass of twisted
steel. concrete and shattered tim
bers. Others working on the ground
60 feet below the roof were COW
cred with falling debris and many
were hurt.
Charles R. Gurney, secretary OF
the Alameda County Building
Trades Council, charged that the
contractors, Barret d Hip OF San
Francisco, had employed too many
apprentices on the job and that he
previous had warned OF possible
trouble in letters TO officials.
j. F. Barret and Harry Hip,
partners IN the firm, said state in
spectors had pronounced the roof
safe three hours before it fell. They
said they will investigate the pos
sibility of sabotage

"Ill go up and take everything
away from him except the soap, the

gily said. "Ill make Buster bathe."
Uncle Wiggily hoped up stairs,
opened the bath room door and said:
Buster, give me all those play
things you are floating in the tub
and go on with your bath" All of
o sudden Nurse Jane and Mrs. Long
ears at the foot of the stairs heard
a loud splash.
Whats Buster got in the tub
now?" cried Nurse Jane.
Hes got - blub - Club = Stub

could hear Buster laugh.

in the tub himself. "Oh, what fun

ANOTHER LEGAL 0DDTTY

The law, always perplexing to the lay
man, exhibits another oddity in the case
of one C. A. Duffy over in San Diego.
On the evening of December 81, 1929
Duffy was a peaceable citizen, obeying
the law and mnding his own business. A
bandit chose that particular time and
Duffy's vicinity, to violate the law.
A servant of the city of San Diego, a
policeman engaged in enforcing the law,
which includes protection of men like
Duffy, took out after the bandit and fired
several shots at the fleeing violator.
None of the shots hit the bandit but one
did hit Duffy, Transforming him into
cripple, unable to support himself.
San Diego's city attorney has informed
the city council that there is no legal OBJ
legation on the part of the city to con-
tribute to the support of Duffy.
And layman would like TO know
why not?
Upon. receiving the attorneys report
the city council instructed him TO find
some legal way to permit the city to make
payment on what the council members
decided is a moral obligation. For this
the councimen are to be congratulated.
1t so happens that the city attorney is
NJ. w. Conkling, former superior court
judge in Imperial county, and those who
know him feel certain he will find a way
to make the desired payments legal.
We do not know whether or not the
bandit was captured. If he was, the law
would require that he be clothed and fed
and given place to sleep while under
arrest or while serving a sentence. The
same law refuses to supply these funda-
mental necessities of man to one who has
been deprived Of his ability to earn them
through no fault of his own but through
the indirect act of the city of San Diego.
Yes, the law is queer.

Uncle Wiggily didn't know why
the table had tipped, making the
Fox think it was fairy magic which
perhaps, might turn him into a pig
That's what Mr.. Longears was say

Gle Wiggily out loud.
Maybe you are doing II your

waited on the customers.
How could be tipping the table
when I have my paws raised high
in the air?" asked the rabbit.
That's so, you couldn't very
WE'LL" said the mousie girl. But why
do you hold your paws up in that
silly way?'
Because the bad Fox made me so
he could nibble my ears better, I
guess" said Uncle Wiggily. oh,
dear" He was speaking to himself
and not to the little mousie girl who
waited on the ice cream tables.
We'll" she said, the Fox is gone,
SO you may put your paws down
now, Uncle Wiggily."
Thank goodness" murmured the
rabbit.
How did you know my name was
GoodneSs?" asked the mouSie girl
and she laughed again. But Uncle
Wiggily was too busy to notice. For
though he lowered his paws and
though the Fox had run away the
table was still tipping, as if invisible.
or unseen fairies were under it.
who is tipping that table?" cried
Uncle Wiggily, all OF a sudden.
II am!p shouted jolly voice and
out craWled Jackie Bow Wow.
why you queer little tyke!" eX-
claimed the rabbi. II thought you
were sitting at this table eating ice
cream with me-"
IT was" Jackie barked with a
laugh. But I dropped some of my
ice cream so I crawled under the
table to pick it up. And when was
under the table / heard the Fox
come to get you. I heard him tell
you TO put your paws up and then
began to make the table dance.
Did I scare him away?"
Indeed you did" cried Uncle
Wiggily. Jolly clever Of you it was,
I'm sure! Most extraordinary! Have
some more ice creaml"
Thanks. I will" barked Jackie.
And he did.
Then Uncle Wiggily hoped home
