HOOVER LATIN POLICY
PRAISED AT INSTITUTE
French Cabinet Parliamentary
Form of Government in South
America Favored.
Rv the Associated Press.

by Jn6 ASSOClaLcC FIeSss
RICHMOND. Ind. May 16.-Praise
Of the Hoover Administrations policy
toward Latin America was expressed at
the Earlham Institute Of Polity here
today by DR.. James Brown Scott, secre-
tary of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace.
The visit of President-elect Hoover
to Latin America did more than any
other event to bring the Americas
closer together" DR.. Scott declared.
IF the Latin Americas are invited to
Europe and accorded marked prefer
ences,' he said. they are likely to be
weaned away from their more indiffer-
ent neighbor on the north"
DR.. Jesse S. Reeves, professor of DO
litical science at the University of
Michigan, spoke in favor of the cabinet
parliamentary system of France. DR..
Reeves said the congressional-preside
tial system in Latin America generally
had resulted in executive control OF
government, and frequent revolutions
have been attempts to overcome this
handicap.
The three-day session Of the insti-
tute will close tonight.

P. N. Neal, who has travel led all over Alaska as a post office inspector for many years past, was in Washington last week. While here he took up the matter with the Depart ment of filling the site and surroundings, for a park, in connection with the new post office or Federal building at Ketchikan. The sum of $10,- 900 has been appropriated for filling of site, which will be done by the Board of Engin- eers under Major Elliott. There has been allocated for the building, but not yet appropri- ated, $400,000. In a visit to the Supervising Architects office MT. Neal found that the blue prints and specifications had not yet been completed for the Fairbanks public building with the probability that bids would not be received and con- tract awarded until possibly too late to do much work on the building this season.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
 By w. A. s. Special Correspondence)
Washington, D. c.
 June Is, 1881

Alaska was given consider able publicity the other morn- ing by a Washington newspa- per in referring to the letter and maps sent by Delegate Wickersham to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, suggesting the ad- visibility of making his flight to Asia via Alaska. The Col. has indicated that he will make the flight early in July, and has under consideration four different routes, with the probability that however he goes, it will be in a sea plane equipped with pontoons, which could land on rivers and lakes and would be as safe to de- scend on land as if the plane had wheels. The one route the Lindberghs are considering and which would not favor Alaska is via Greenland and Spitzbergen, up in the Arctic, then to the northern European mainland-Norway or Russia and then down and across A. 800 miles of Asia. The other routes that they are consider ing are First-across the United States or Canada, up the Pac- fife coast to Alaska, along the Aleutian Islands to the Kam- chatka Peninsula of Siberia, and down the Japanese Kurile Islands to Japan proper. Sec ond-to Alaska as in the above route, then up beyond the Ber- ing sea across the narrow Ber- ing Strait to the Siberian main-

sturdy, firm and washable weaves
which are accounted good-looking
for sports wear, this season. Fab
ricists being fashionwise, have
therefore made it point to pro-
duce unusually handsome and novel
piques, heavy twill effects, smart
spongy and tweedy textiles which
tub perfectly and one Of the new
est and most attractive ideas is
that of washable satin jersey,
either in white or cOlors.
A generous use of pearl but
tons, slides and buckles Is also a
characteristic feature of the sum-
mer sports mode. These are en-
ployed in a very decorative way,
sometimes whole rows Of them
bordering little jackets as well as
sleeve and necklines.
With the white and light outing
costumes a dash and splash of
color is imperative. It would never
do to forget the scarf in vivid plaid,
or striped, or in modish tricolor.
In fact, accessories are supposed to
be startlingly colorful.
The costume in the picture an
swers the roll call for all the high
spots mentioned. The whipped
twill of bemberg which fashions
this youthful jacket suit is typi-
cal of the stunning new weaves
which are as smart-looking as they
are practical. For sports spectator
