ICE CREAM TASTE
 SUBJECT OF STUDY

To study South Alaska's taste and appetite for ice cream is the mission of R. L. Clark, sales man. lager of the Western Dairy Products Company of Seattle, which makes a specially of the Sunfreze brand of the frozen confection.

It is beneficial to every physical condition, at every age III every occupation of life.

PACIFIC-YUKON PROJECT ALIVE
 BUT INACTIVE
Canadians Still Interested but Lack Funds-A.R.
 C. Funds Curtailed

While the British Columbia gov ernment is anxious for the con- Ssruction of the Pacific Yukon highway project, it's financial stat us at this time makes impossible any active steps toward its init iation, declared Maj. Malcolm El- liott, President of the Alaska Road Commission and member of the International board to study the project.
 He visited Victoria last week where he conferred with officials of the Department of Public Works of the province. This de- pertinent is of the opinion that the project should be kept alive for consideration when conditions are more favorable for actual con- struction,' Maj. Elliott said.
 Fund Reduction Hurts
 Although distressed by the radi- cal reduction made by the House Of Representatives in the annual Federal appropriation for the AL aska Road Commissions work in the Territory, Maj, Elliott said the Commissions attitude Is to give the maximum amount of employ ment to Alaska labor as far as available funds will permit" T0 this end, expenditures for both equipment and material have been reduced below what was originally planned
 In fact, Maj. Elliott, who aided in the purchase of such supplies while he was in the south, an- nounced that some of the equip ment and material ordered earlier this year has been cancelled tc give more funds for actual work These orders were placed when the Commission was expecting but a comparatively small redctuion in its funds When the drastic cut was made by the House, and which possibly will be sustained by the Senate, orders for many of the supplies were countermanded.
 Bare Maintenance Money
 The amount allowed by the House, some $354,000, Maj Elliott said, is not more than enough for bare maintenance needs No new work on existing projects can be undertaken, and no new projects launched. He declined to make any comment on the proposed

had walked out on the introducer and

Let that be a lasting lesson for all

litical science, how faithful he is to the

has been In its service, how devastating
are his assaults upon the enemy. To
have him walk out on his introducer is
just about the most crushing rebuke

The Candidates Last Words.

In the campaign just closed, unusual
in many respects. with features that
are without precedent, and climaxing
in q virtual man -for-man debate be-
tween the two candidates, it is appro-
pirate that the ANAL words should be
spoken by the presidential nominees
themselves-that each should put the
last period to the argument Of his
respective party. Mr.. Hoover at Elko,
New, and Mr. Roosevelt at Poughkeepsie
thus ended the discussion last night.
Elko was an accidental speaking point
a small station on the way to the Presi-
dents voting place in California.
Poughkeepsie is old talking ground for
Mr.. Roosevelt. a place where he has
heretofore closed all Of his political
campaigns.
1t is well to note those last words Of
the two candidates as a matter OF rec
ord. Mr. Hoover said in conclusion of
his brief address at Elko:
Four years ago I stated that I con-
ceived the presidency as more than an
administrative Office. 1t Is power for
leadership, bringing coordination OF
the forces of business and cultural life
in every city, town and countryside.
The presidency Is more than executive
responsibility IT Is the symbol OF Amer
icas high purpose. The President must
represent the Nations ideals, and he
must also represent them to the nations
of the world After four years Of ex-
perience, I still regard this as supreme
obligation.
Mr.. Roosevelt's peroration at Pough-
keepsie was rs follows:
To be the means through which the
ideal and hopes Of the American people
may find q greater realization calls Tor
the best in any man. l seek to be only
the humble emblem of this restoration
If that be your verdict, my friends OF
America and my neXt-door neighbors
of Dutchess County, and that be the
confident purpose behind your verdict
1 shall in the humility that suits such
great confidence seek to meet this
great expectation Of yours. With your
help and your patience and your gen
erous good will we can mend the torn
fabric Of our common life.
On this very eve OF the exercise OF
the greatest right of the American cleo
torate, l bid you good night And l
add to that, God bless you all.
Today the American people are vot-
ing in response to those two conclud
ing pleas In a few hours the result
will be known.

augment itself, the psychological effect
is bound to react progressively to the
disadvantage of the "Nazis."
Hitlerite losses provided gains for the
Hugenberg Nationalists and the Com
munists. The latter now marshal an
impressive block of exactly one hum
dred Reichstag seats and the National
lists an even half Of that total. The
Social Democrats, authors of the move
ment which produced the German
revolution and republic in 1918, lose an
ominous thirteen seats. 1t Is note
worthy that OF the entire 35,000,O 900
votes cast on Sunday, roughly 25,00o.-
600 were recorded in favor of some So
cialist regime-Social Democratic, Ma
tional Socialist or Communist. United,
these forces could paint the German
governmental fabric red over night, but
Sundays election has in fact done
little but magnify political disunion
and facilitate the purpose of the Hin
denburg Papen- -Schleicher combination
to govern along its own lines. 1t may
well be that along those lines. for the
immessurable future 1T least, Ger
manyS salvation lies.
Once again the Germans set the
American people a worthy example in
the performance of voting duty. Al
though Sundays ballot fell of four per
cent from last Summers vote, it yet
represents roundly eighty per cent Of
the qualified electorate. That is q rec
ord not yet family approached at any
national election In the United States

Home Rule for Scotia.

From the Buffalo Evening News.
The movement for Scottish home rule
is making headway. Recently Sir Her
bert Samuel pledged himself and his
Liberal followers to work for it. This
is the first oficial endorsement by any
party represented in Parliament of the
home-rule movement in Scotland. The
idea is to set up government like
that in North Ireland. The Scottish
Nationalists, however, do not want rep
reservations in the Parliament at Lon
don.
Scotland, in common with all other
countries, has been hard pressed these
last few years. Her agriculture, fish
cries and commerce have greatly fallen
of Besides, many Of her industries
have moved to England. The more
ardent proponents of home rule set
forth that under control of London,
Scotland is "a dying country" They
point out that, with a population of
only 4250,000, it contributes f75O00,-
900 annually and receives in return
only about f12,500000.
The idea of Parliament at Edin-
burgh appeals strongly to the young
lucd III CCOtldliu 1llc NdliOIldliSI Pal ~
receives its principal support from that
quarter. The Scots Independent, Ma
tional monthly review, recently had this
to say: "A shining ideal calling to a
high adventure is just what is wanted
by the best Of our young men and
women in their political activity. Let
them leave the utilities and follies of
the parties that belong to the days of
Scotland's bondage and eclipse, and
let them join the party Of Scotland's
dawn"
Scotland had long tradition of self
government. 1t was an ancient nation
when in 1907 the act of union merged
submerged. the Nationalists say-it
with England. A century before that
Scotland had in a manner Of speaking
taken over England-had given her the
Scottish King James I. With the act
Of union, Scotland practically passed
out as a nation. The movement to re-
store it to somewhat of its former
position carries none Of the implica-
tions of the movement that resulted
in the establishment Of the Irish Free
State. The Nationalists of Scotland
do not aim for full independence: they
seek for Scotland simply the right to
handle the affairs of government that
are her immediate concern, meanwhile
holding allegiance to the British throne.
Under the conditions that exist, with
nationalism making headway every
where, 1t Is difficult to see how the
Scots can be denied the thing they
seek.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES +. TRACEWELL.

There are fashions In nuts, OF course,
as in other commodities.
The pecan has retained and even In
creased its prestige; while the walnut,

have been expected from SO serVicsabie
q fruit.
Honest American walnuts make the
fastest nut cake" in the world. A
good walnut cake Is a childhood mem-
ory perhaps-Women don't seem TO bake
them much any more.
y
The usefulness of the nut in the
everyday life Of humanity has nat
urally led to the adoption OF the word
in various figures Of speech.
"A hard nut to crack" one says OF
problem or person hard to solve or deal
with.
on ones nut Is a slang way OF say
ing some one Is mad or drunk. "Nutty
is q well known slang expression.
ut-brown" is q famous descriptive
applied to girls with dark compilations,
and also to England's ale.
Sometimes a man with prominent
nose and chin Is said to have nut
! cracker" features.
Perhaps the exercise Of cracking nuts
| appeals to childhoodS temperament be-
cause it is a sort Of destruction which
may be applied without drawing down
upon ones head the lectures OF ones
elders.
There were various types of instru-
ments for this delectable use, Jones
recalled, but most of them were largely
failures, because they insisted on crack
ing the nut meats as we'll as the shells.
Maybe the impulsive Jonesian tenn
permanent had something to 90 with his
failure along that line in the days OF
long ago.
He couldn't recall now-and 1t didn't
make any difference, anyhow, as he
hadn't eaten nut in years.
There were a great many strange nuts
in the world OF childhood, but none was
quite as queer as the lichee.
This wrinkled stranger from q strange
world was the voluntary gift OF the old
Chinese laundryman on the corner.
Perhaps these eXileS still dispense
lichee nuts to American small boys 10
whom they take a fancy. Certainly
Vachel Lindsay said nothing about these
fruits in his exquisite poem, Chinese
| Nightingale" but he gave an unfor :
| gettable picture of such a laundry.
No. q Chinese laundry in the nut
gathering days of childhood was not
| just laundry
! 1t was an adventure sometimes en-
tered upon with trepidation by timid
,youngSter whose ideas of the Chinese,
| launderers and others, were predicated
mostly upon Bret Harte's poem and
various "Chin-chin Chinaman" noises
emitted by raucous playmates.
The boy who got to know Honest
! John as he really was often found him
very human sort Of person despite
his strange pants and his stranger
pigtail.
The smell Of the scorching iron and
the mans agreeable habit of Sprinkling
/ the clothes from a corner of his mouth
made mighty appeal to the mind OF
the small boy.
! Or was that only another legend
that about the old-time Chinese laun-
dryman sprinkling the clothes after that
| highly practical but inSanitary fashion?

out in the backyard and put the nuts

Stalemate in Germany.

Germany on Sunday indulged In the
luxury of its fifth national election
within q year, including the campaign
for the Prussian Diet two presidential
elections and two ballotings for
ReichstaR. Yet after this prodigious
effort to mend matters through the
medium of the peoples suffrage, they
sre left very much where they were be-
fore. The second Reichstag election on
Sunday ends with Chancellor Won
papens government still invincibly en-
throned, without, indeed, majority OF
It's own in the chamber, but, paradoxi-
rally. all the more strongly intrenched
bn that account.
Holding itself above all parties and
responsible to none, the mllltarlst-
bnonarchist regime which has welded
power autocratically since last June
now considers that 1t has a mandate to
proceed along the same dictatorial way.
If the heterogeneous groups COM
prising the Reichstag could by some
miracle contrive to bury their differ
ences and compose a parliamentary ma
jority, it would have to be q majority
ready to do Chancellor Won Papens
bidding, or President Won Hindenburg
would again issue decree OF dissolution
and ordain another Reichstag election.
Such possibility, ludicrous and futile
rs 1t sounds, is already seriously dis
sussed as result Of this latest election.
That phase of it of liveliest interest
abroad and of paramount Importance

not disastrous decrease in Hitler's Ma
tional Socialist strength. The "Nazis'
