"Ski" Idea Not New

Implements for the purpose served
by the modern "ski" were used by
many nations Of antiquity. Xenophon
describes the shoes or pattens Of skins
with which the horses of the Armen-
ians were shod to prevent them from
sinking into the snow, and Procopius
made mention of the ancient Lapps,
known in Scandinavia as Skrid-F'in-
men, or sliders. Snowshoes have al
ways been used by the Mongols of
northwestern Asia. From the evidence
Of the old Morse sagas they must
have been general in Scandinavia
long before the Christian era. Ulf or
Ullar, the god of winter, is always
spoken of as walking upon skis the
curved toes of which gave rise to the
legend that they were really ships
upon which the god was waited over
hill and dale

Dogs Status Unjust

The fact that in ancient unsanitary
days, numbers of mongrel wolf-like
dogs were allowed to haunt the streets
of hot eastern cities to act the part
of scavengers and disposers Of gar
bage of all sorts, thievish, snarling
creatures kicked about by everyone,
put them into the lowest class of the
brutes. To cast anything to the dogs
was to consgn it to infamy as deep
as could be imagined. We have
relic of that feeling in the express
sion "gone to the dogs" applied to
one who has lost all or become out

Hamlet's Sanity

Whether or not Hamlet was insane
is question which has disturbed crit
les for 300 years. 1t is interesting to
know that most of the profound think
ers who have given the question deep
consideration regard Hamlet as sane.
It would seem that If Hamlet was in

The men who did the fighting were
criminals and slaves. History tells us
that in this sangufnary conflict the
combatants, possibly animated by ex-

Latin salute: Hail, Emperor! We

Beauty Talks

Your Beauty Assets

VOU are urged t. take an inventory
4 of your assets and liabilities. List
each item in the beauty ensemble.
What are you satisfied to preserve
and what do you wish to improve.
Then tell yourself truthfully what you
are doing for your beauty.
Your figure, for instance. Do you
wish to gain or reduce? Or are you,
fortunately, just right? Check up on
your posture as poor standing, sitting
or walking positions can destroy even
the most perfectly nodded figure.
Now check up on your hair. Is 1t an
asset or a liability? Are you faith
full in brushing it properly night and
morning for ten minutes? Can you
boast glowing. healthful, lustrous
crop or is it stringy, dry as a heap
of straw or oozing too much oil? Is
your scalp in healthy condition? Are
you troubled with dandruff? Is your
hair an even, lovely, lustrous shade
or drab and discolored? Is it gray
ing?
Start at once to set things right
and turn the liability to beauty
asset.
Now for your skin. Anything wrong
here? Dryness, oiliness, blackheads,
eruptions, lines and wrinkles, sagging
muscles? Or happily a clear, flawless,
firm complexion? And remember that
the normal skin needs only good
cleansing cream. skin tonic and nOur-
fishing cream to keep it young and
lovely through the years.
Your eyes, are they clear and
bright? Are you kind to them or do
you strain them? Do you read or sew
or work in a good light, does the
light come from behind the left Shout
der? Do you squirt? Squirting fndf-
Gates something wrong with the eyes
and tells you in plain terms that
there will soon be crow's-feet and
frown lines around the eyes.
When you present arms in an eve
ming gown, is the skin white and
clear, matching your face and neck?
Are your hands soft, smooth, white,
well-groomed to the fngertips?
Lastly are you particular about the
details Of good grooming. so small
in themselves, but what q big part
they play in destroying the perfect
picture If they are not Just right. A
rum down heel crooked hose seam,
missing button, soiled dress cob
lar, all these are important.

Most of Crew Are Mates
 On Great Lake Vessels

CLEVELAND, May B. Because few freighters are likely to be used in the ore and coal trade on the Great Lakes this season it is likely that many of the crews will be made up almost entirely of of- ficers.
 The Negaunee, first of the freigth- CTS to leave Cleveland this season carried mates who possessed cap- tains' papers. Most of the deck hands had mates papers.
 Because officers ordinarily are employed for a full year they usually are assigned to ships be- fore a crew is hired. With few freighters going out there are al- most enough officers to operate the ships.

 TWO DIVISIONS
House Judiciary Committee Rescinds Favorable Re-
 port on Me easure

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18- Especial Correspondence An ar rangement had been made by Dele gate Wicksrsham with the Chair man of the House Judiciary Com- mittee that he was to appear be- fore the Committee when the bill was considered to merge the Nome and Fairbanks Judicial Divisions into one Division, with one set of court officials. At a meeting of the committee on April 5th, the bill was inadvertently taken up and favorably reported, because of the presumed saving to the Gov ernment of S25000 yearly. When the Delegate learned of the &C., tion taken he requested Chairman Summers that he hold up the re- port until he could be heard in opposition to the bill. This was
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-05-03

agreed to and April 13 was fixed as the time for the second hear ing. when the Delegate presented his objections and secured an an- nulment of the previous favorable report. Thus the bill stands as it formerly did, and is in the same position as is the Senate otll on the same subject, and neither will move forward until a favorable re- port is filed in Congress.
 Grant R. Jackson, President of the Northwest Chamber of Com merce. and President of the bank at Nome, spent several days in Washington last week, accompan- jed by Mrs. Jackson. The latter was a guest on April 12th at a breakfast given for Mrs. Hoover by the Congressional Club, at which the wife of the President wore a dainty d-faShioned dimity dress of white with sprys of blue flow CTS, a concession to noticeable trend to colonial style.

partment. It develops that there has been no such order issued. However, the transfer is in line with the coordination idea of the Administration, and the War De- palemsnt has. recommended that the change be made, as the In- tericr Department is already op- erating the Alaska Railroad and the river steamer service in the Territory, and it is agreed that all governmental lines of trans portation and road facilities should be under one department. To transfer the Alaska Road Com mission it is necessary that there be Congressional action and 1t is understood that a Senator is pre- raring a bill for early introduc- tion. It is not expected that Rivers and Harbors work would be taken from the United States Engineer Board.
 Complaint comes from Alaska that the Act enlarging the Mo Kinley National Park will prove detrimental to those persons in the Park who have mineral locations or fur farms. There is a provlso that the passage of the bill shall not affect the rights of any such claimant, locator or entryman to the full use and enjoyment of his land"
 The Senate instructed it's ap- propriations committee to reduce | the total of the amount allowed in the House bill to the Depart ment of the Interior by 10 per | cent. This was done and in the bill as passed by the Senate most of the reductions were sustained. As a result Alaska is affected and the Alaska Railroad appropriation

 An Alaskan constituent who has heen receiving $68 per month pen sion for partial disability writes to inquire what amount in a lump settlement he would be entitled to receive. The Delegate took the matter up with the United States Employees Compensation Com4nis- 9ion and the Chairman ends a let ter of information with the fol- lowing statement: The Commis- sion has found, from experience, that the payment of a lump sum in lieu of regular installments of compensation is not advisable in the interest of the injured employee. The unsatisfactory experience which has followed where lump sum set dement's ftawe been made has caus- ed the Commission to practically discontinue making this form of
 attlement. In the case of an en- ployee well advanced in years, the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-05-03

payment of compensation in regu- larly monthly installments would appear to be much more advan- tageous than the payment of a lump sum. It would, at least, in- sure the injured employee a reg ular income which would enable him to be self-supporting during the remainder of his life and he would not be left to the uncer- tainty of safely investing the pro- ceeds of a lump sum payment"
 The Senate has reduced the amount appropriated by the House for the education of Natives in Alaska from $690,000 to $640,000. The larger reduction is $25, 900 fer salaries and $10OOO for equipment, etc. The rest is for travel expense and repairs. There is nothing al- lowed for operating the vessel Box CT, which is to be succeeded this summer by the new North Star, which will be finished and operat- ing this month. No salary has been allowed for employees of the Shoe maker Bay school, which has just been completed near Wrangell, and it is feared I5hat this school will not be able to open for another year unless more consideration is given the necessities in the con- ference between the Senate and House committees.

effort has been made to get the sugar producers OF the
world together and limit production, but this has failed
Already the United States is the dumping ground of the
worlds sugar, and the price makes domestic industry un-
profitable. On top of all this the department Of justice is
proceeding against the sugar institute, an organization
of domestic sugar producers operating on a trade agree
ment said to have been approved by the government when
it was made. 1t seems, however, that the Senate Demo-
Gratis are not satisfied. They are planning to hit this
domestic industry another blow, and destroy whatever
employment it still affords to American workers. The in
spiration of this course comes from foreign and interna-
tionalized banking and Industrial interests whose activ-
tiles were clearly visible when the present tariff law was
being framed.
What the American people want brought about is not
further sacrifice of American to foreign interests, not the
further tearing down of our economic defenses, but a pol
icy of looking out for the American people, and the pro-
lection of their employment and standards of living. The
Democratic leaders in Congress who are proceeding on the
theory that Americans want more, rather than less, anti
American legislation, more, not less attack on American
payrolls and wage standards, seem to have little compre-
hension of public sentiment.

The movement to curtail Govern

CARDS the forthcoming disarma-
