I am writing this. for YOU
against the day when you must
go into the desert.
You do not know now that
your life will ever become a
desert. You do not believe that
you can ever come to a place
where little joys and small COM
forts will fail to please you
49,, where the most precious
love and trust will no longer
sustain you Y. -. when every
thing in life will fail you, even
yourself. But you will come to
that place. Some day the
years-or dreadful lasting tears
will bring you to that place.
And when you come to it, these
words may help you as they
once helped me.
They are words of a man
who lived the greater part of
his life in just such loneliness
and Observation-Disclosures Lin
coin. We know much about the
difficulty and danger of Lin
coins life, but little about his in
ner suffering, for he was not
given to discussing himself. But
once he said this-which tells
more than whole volumes of self
analysis:
IT have been forced to my
knees many times because I
had no place else to CO."
Friends All Failed
Everything had failed Abra-
ham Lincoln. Friends had
failed him, Loved ones had
failed him. Country had failed
him. Even his own courage
and shrewdnesS, which had car
ried him through so much hard
ship and peril, had failed him.
He had no place to go for help.
He was all alone-in his desert.
So he went on his knees. And
help came to him. A help that
held him upright to the end.

Gibbs, the Edison of
Theoretical Science
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., DEL, ILL.,.
Famous Scientific Authority

For ten years he Iabored un.
remittingly without any COM
pensation whatever! Even after
his services we're sought by the
newly established Johns Hop
kins University, the salary paid
him at Yale was quite small.
He held his position at Yale, a
scholarly recluSe, for 80 years,
with small material reward and
only slowly advancing fame.
Today his name is honored
highly throughout the entire
world.
Founder of Chemical EnergetiOd
During his studies abroad,
Gibbs was profoundly influ.
enced by classics, one of the
founders of the subject of dy.
namics. The subject of heat
and mechanical energy greatly
occupies his attention. All these
subjects felt the powerful i'm
press of his deeply reflective
intelligence.
Entropy, a fertile conception
put forward by Clausius, was
advanced to the first place in
modern physical theory, with
the extraordinary fertile conse-
quence of what is commonly
known as the Second Law of
Thermo dynamics. Gibbs is
rated today as the founder of
chemical energetics.
Gibbs very first paper was a
memorable contribution to the
subject Of thernodynamics, win
ming the admiration of the
famous Clark Maxwell at Cam
bridge University, England.
Gibbs masterpiece, ION the
Equilibrium of Heterogeneous
Substances" was epochal in it's
direct contribution, and in open
ing up many avenues for future
research. 1t contained more
than TOO formulas. Gibbs was
highly honored in his lifetime.
But the world of science is only
just beginning to catch up with
this pioneering intelligence Of
great creative fertility.

Within recent years the opin-
ion has steadily been growing
that Josiah Willard Gibbs was
the greatest creative genius in
theoretical science this country
has ever produced. The reason
for this very gradual develop
ment is the complexity of his
work, the difficulty of under
standing the symbols and for
mulas which he developed, and
far-ranging scope and general
ity of his ideas. Einstein has
attained universal recognition
today as a very great scientist,
although comparatively few are
capable of understanding his
theories. The theories of Gibbs
are no less complex than those
of EinStein; and universal rec
ognition of his greatness is
coming now, a quarter of a cen
tury after his death.
An Unusual Figure
Gibbs was one of those eX-
traordinary figures in the his
tory of science who devote their
lives indefatigably to the pursuit
of scientific investigation and
discovery, uninfluenced by con-
siderations of either honor or
financial reward. Born in New
Haven, Conn.,, February IL,
1899, he came of a long line
of forbears educated at Har-
ward and Yale. After a brilliant
career at Yale, where he re-
ceived in succession the degrees
of master of arts and doctor of
philosophy, he devoted some
five years to special graduate
work, and was finally appointed
tutor in Latin and natural
philosophy at his alma mater.
Finding those labors unconge-
nial, he left Yale after three
years for extended studies in
the mathematical physics in
Paris, Berlin and Heidelberg.
1t is an almost incredible fact
that, although he was appointed
professor of mathematical
physics at Yale in 1871, two
years after his return to Amer
lea, there was no salary at
tached to. the post.

STARVING in a Land
Of Plenty"

Editor, Times:
When I read about the huge
Government projects and nu-
merous road-building contracts
being contemplated for the re-
lief of unemployment, I Won
der just how much Of the
money spent will go to the un-
employed and how much Of it
will go to other sources.
Let us watch for a moment
how large amounts Of dirt are
being moved from one place to
another during this age of mod
ern machinery. The Government
places one or more huge steam
shovels near the place where
the dirt is to be dug away. A
projecting, swinging arm, with
a steel bucket on one end,
scoops up a large amount of
dirt and the arm carries it up
toward a road where dozens of
trucks wait. The bottom of the
bucket opens and the dirt falls
into one of the trucks, a whole
load at a time. The trucks
carry it to the place where the
dirt is to be emptied. The en-,
gine on the truck raises the
front of the truck and the dirt
slides out. Two men have been
given employment. How much
of the Governments money has
been spent?
In the old days, before ma
chinery had reached its present
state of perfection, men would
have been needed to shovel the
dirt into wagons; horses to draw
the loads would have had to be
cared for; men would also have
had to shovel the dirt from the
wagons. OF course, people will
say the machines have TO be
built and that keeps men busy,
but with this age of steel drills
that eat through hardened steel
like a knife through butter, and
with reamers that can shave
steel like a man whiting wood,
machine making doesn't supply

What availeth it any man,

What doth it rejoice him

What comfort doth a bachelor

four winds and scattering his

For, alas, he hath no woman
to chide him nor to blush for
him, nor to go about gathering
up his things and imploring him
to be more tidy.
Go to. What doth any sin or

Answers Proponents of
Dog Exemption Bill

Editor, The Times:
1 have noticed in a recent
issue of your paper a letter
favorable to the passage of the
dog exemption bill now before
the National Congress. I think
it only fair that you should
present to your readers the
other side of this question.
All modern medicine which
relates to those diseases at
least caused by bacteria is
entirely due to the efforts of
scientists through experimental
ton upon animals. Your read
ers should know that the mod
ern treatment of pernicious
anemia by feeding liver extract
and that the modern treatment
of diabetes by using insulin is
entirely based upon expert
nfentation which could only
have been performed upon the
dog. In lending the weight
of your approval to the anti
vivisectionists you place your
newspaper on the side of those
who would take away from
mankind the hope Of further
relief from the suffering and
disasters due to disease and
you place yuorself on the side
of those who would rather see
children suffer than permit
animals, carefully protected
against suffering as is true of
animals in scientific labora-
tories, to be utilized for expert
mental purposes.

that one way to stop the uproar about outside interests draining Alaska resources, is for Alaskans to turn to and do the job them selves.
 If the people anywhere else are more competent to manage the affairs of salmon cannery than Alaskans, we cannot think just now who they might be.
 And there iI power and hope in the thought that those with the sinews of war and the will to do, are beginning to realize an important business fact, the exploitation of which would be of lasting benefit to the people of the territory.

JUDGE HARDING RULES
 AGAINST SEATTLE TROLLERS

Judge Justin w. Harding of the District Court at Juneau, recently upheld the Territorial tax of $25O on nonresident trollers, overruling a demurrer filed against the Territory's answer which in substance up- held the Act of 1929 a second time.
 This case was brought by the Seattle Trollers' Association thru Wood Freeman. It was alleged that this tax was prohibitlve end contrary to the guarantees of the law of 1924. Freeman al- leging that the average earn ings of the trollers was $500 and this contention was upheld by the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco last year.
 Attorney General Rustgard in bis answer contenGed that the average earnings of the fisher men was $3,000 and that the tax of $250 was not unreasonable or prohibitive. Counsel for de- fense, H. L. Faulkner demurred 70 the answer as not constitut- ing any defense and so two weeks ago the case was tried be- fore Judge Harding. Counsel for defense contended that the Act of 1929 was invalid in that

Mines and Mining
HOFSTAD AFTER COPPER
 MINE SeldOvia Herald

The M. s. Lark, out of Peters burg enroute to the Westward Balboa Bay district, put into Seldovia Wednesday afternoon with a damaged feed pump, the Seldovia Machine Shop was call cd on the job and Thursday morning the Lark continued on her course.
 Captain I. M. Hofstad and sons, Arthur and Harold own and operate the boat. They own copper and zinc mining proper ties on the mainland about Bal boa Bay, and they have gone there for the purpose of doing assessment work.
 Discussion with Captain Hof- stad brought out the interesting point that he had worked the same mine 25 years aGo. At that time he could have done well with the copper, but there was no market for the zinc. In fact penalties were levied because of the zinc content. Later, markets developed for the zinc but now there is no opportunity to work the mines as the copper has cropped from sight.
 Undiscouraged by the present bleak outlook, the owners have mapped out a preliminary de- velopment program calculated ro have things in readiness for bet ter market conditions.

ALASKA CANNERIES FOR
 ALASKANS

-X
 From Seldovia Herald
 It is beginning to be realized that salmon canneries can be or eanized by, and for, Alaskans just as competently as by, and for outsiders. The fallacy has long controlled that in order to carry on successfully the busi- ness of canning salmon within the territory of Alaska, full or ganization had to take place in the states with official person. mel residing therein; all puc- chasing power, excepting in the most emergent cases, to be ex- pended outside. And when it came to the point of man pow CT there never seemed to be any question about the perfect reas- condolences of employing people basking in the sunny wales of Mexico; ukelele experts from Pacific island banana belts; the almond eyed youth who had gained first hand knowledge Of salmon canning activities by watching his uncle mangle in Chinese laundry. People who signed on the dotted line in full! agreement that payment for the seasons work would De forth coming upon return to the states.
 The operations of Associated Fishermen of Alaska, Inc, in the Bering Sea district as a floating cannery unit, with promised expansion into an up- to-date shore plant; the taking over of the Sunrise cannery in Ketchikan, by Alaska men with Alaska capital and with the as- sured plan to employ Alaska la bor, all tend to support the idea

FOREIGN NEWS
SENDS WHEAT
PRICES HIGHER
Scattered Selling Is Weak
Disappointing Factor
in Corn Trade.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Fir1nness In
foreign markets gave wheat and
oats a good start on the Board OF
Trade today, but corn was uncer-
tainly steady. The new crop wheat
months had small gain, while the
old crop months were slow and
steady. Heavy rains we're instru-
mental in giving Liverpool a firm
tone, but the market was inactive
Corn was wavering at the start with
scattered selling more than offset
ting the moderate buying. Oats
we're up slightly with wheat.
Liverpool Firm
At the opening wheat was IN
changed to IS cent higher; corn was
unchanged to IS cent lower. and
oats were 4 cent higher. Provi-
sions we're slow and steady.
Liverpool opened firm, as eX-
pected, being IS cent higher at mid
afternoon. Buenos Aires was
cent higher during the morning.
Most of the traders think that the
technical, situation favors an up
turn. There has been no change
in the general characteristics of the
news and a narrow range is an
ticipated for the present. The re-
markable weather continues with
the realization that each day
without moisture adds to the Sc
robustness Of the situation.
Oats Move Up
Owing to the mild weather the
farm consumption of corn has been
much less normal. The governments
report on crop prospects issued last
night offers nothing bullish, but the
reduced consumption is rather
beariSh.
Stocks of oats were 100000 bushels
in excess of a year ago last Jan. l.
according to the government figures
Monday. This was surprising, as the
holding tendency of the farmers had
led the trade to look for increased
consumption

MYSTERY OF BURNING
SHIP ENDED BY RESCUE
Coast Guard Cutter Saves Crew of
Flaming Launch.

EUREKA, Cal, Feb. 3-The
mystery of the burning vessel thirty
miles north of here was solved to-
day with the arrival of the coast
guard cutter Cahokia which rescued
the crew of two men.
Captain Adolk NJ. Moller, Seattle,
and Olaf Webstad, the crew of the
power launch Vertex cleared the
mystery that had caused wide
speculation and excitement along
the coast all day Monday.
Captain Moller explained his
launch left Seattle last week and
caught fire Monday morning, forcing
him and the mate to abandon the
ship IN a small dory. The vertex
sank.
