ALASKA INTERESTS AT
: THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Will. A. Steel
flee ''

A letter from the Secretary of War, transmitting favor able report, dated January IS, 1882, from the Chief of Engin- eers of the U. s. Army, on sur vey of Salmon river, at Hyder, went to the House Committee on Foreign Commerce and or dered to be printed, with illus tration.
 At various times when pub- lie work was being done in Alaska complaint has been made that workmen were not paid the prevailing wages. In a bill recently introduced by William P. Connery, jr., Rep- resentative from Massachu- setts and chairman of the La bor Committee of the House, provision is made to protect this class of labor. The bill, which amends an act that was approved March 4, 1881, reads as follows:
 That every contract or sub- contract to which the United States, the District of Colum- bia, or Territory is a party which requires or involves the employment of laborers or me- chanics on all public works or other projects of the United States, the District of Colum- bia, or Territory shall contain a provision to the effect that the rate of wages for all labor CTS and mechanics employed by the contractor or subcontractor on said public warks, covered by the contract or subcontract, shall be not less than the pre- vailing rate of wages in the city, town, or village of the State, the District of Columbia, or Territory in which such public work is being per- formed" A penalty of S5 per day for each laborer or me- chanic violating the provisions of the bill is imposed on the contractor.
 In the Jan. 10th Sunday edit ion of the New York Herald Tribune are two pages of pho- to-engravure illustrations of Alaska animal scenes. These pictures were taken on an eX- pedition Il t o southeastern Alaska last summer by Arthur N. Pack and William L. Finley on the yacht Westward, under the auspices of the American Nature Association and Nature Magazine. The object was to photograph animal and bird life and in particular to study the habits of the Alaskan brown bear.

Opposition to the consolidat- ion of the Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions as provided in bill pending in Congress, is opposed by the Northwest ern Alaska Chamber of Com- merce of Nome. It says con- solidation of the judicial divis- ions might lead to their polit- ical consolidation, which would reduce the representation of both divisions in the Territtor- ial Legislature.

Why White Gloves for Walters

The custom of walters wearing white gloves harks back to the day of Louis XIV. In the palace of Versailles the kitchens were so far from the royal suite that food was brought on heated heavy silver platters with dome-shaped covers. The footmen wore thick white gloves in carrying these dishes. AS the court did, so also did it's imitators.

Why the Capital "I"

At the introduction of printing the various forms in use to indicate the first person singular settled down to the capital I. This is probably due to the fact that the small letter lacks distinction and appeared utterly inadequate when printed.

Why Plants Need Water

The body of a living plant is mostly water, just as other living things are. Water Is being evaporated all the time from the leaves and new water to re- place this has to be absorbed out of the soil by the root hairs.

Why Bricks Are Red

Common brick is red because there is iron in the clay. Ordinary white bricks owe their color to lime. Lime and iron make cream-colored brick. Brown bricks contain magnesa and yellow bricks magnesia and iron.

SKYSCRAPER TABOO
HERE, SAYS GRANT.
Architects Told Tall Buildings
Would Dwarf Capitol and
Other Buildings.

Skyscrapers have no place in Wash
ington's architectural plan, Col. U. S.
Grant Sd, director of the Office of
Public Buildings and Public Parks, de-
clared last night in a lecture delivered
before the local chapter of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects at the Carl
ton Hotel.
If skyscrapers were erected here, the
speaker declared, they would dwarf the
dome of the Capitol and other Govern
ment structures. striking a discordant
note in the general scheme.
The lecture was the fourth Of a
series sponsored by the architects. The
first address was on mural painting,
the second on artificial Illumination
and the third a discussion as to
whether modern architecture should be
used In classical washington.
Col. Grant displayed colored slides
showing many Of the proposed improve
ments in public buildings and parks to
be made. Owing to the poor subsoil
under the Washington Monument, he
declared, it is impossible to carry out
the idea for elaborate sunken gardens
as proposed in the Mcmillan plan Of
1901, but that the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission is study
ing another scheme to take its place.
Maj George Oakley Totten, jr., presi-
dent of the architects, presided. Col.
Grant was introduced by A. B. Trow-
bridge, who arranged the meeting.

Authority for an investigation In

man law as means Of improving busi-

House Judiciary Committee under a
vote taken yesterday.
Meanwhile, the administration Of
fered to industries seeking to free them
selves from the Oppressive effects OF de-
structive competition choice between
strict governmental regulation and a
continuance of the present hampering
restrictions of the antitrust laws.
A group of 122 business men gathered
here as independent executives to study
methods of economic rehabilitation pre-
sented the President, with proposals for
a two-year truce" in competition, di-
rected by national board, with nom
partisan investigation OF business con-
ditions filling the interim. The Presi-
dent asked them to reconsider, and
cited the antitrust laws as the prin-
cipal barrier to their plan.
Then John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, took
to the White House a petition asking
Mr.. Hoover to lend helping hand to-
ward the enactment Of legislation to
stabilize the bituminous coal industry.
He sought the Presidents support for
the Capper-Kelly bill, now pending,
under which operators and selling
agents of coal would be licensed to en-
ter combinations to end wasteful COM
petition.
President Hoover, in his annual mes
sage to Congress opposed outright re-
peal of the antitrust statutes, but asked
a congressional inquiry of their effects
on general business.
Legislation to bring about changes
of which Mr. Hoover spoke probably
will be the item on the congressional
program to follow the banking legisla-
ton now pending.

.GLASSFORD ASKS
SAFER TAXI DRIVING
Appeal to Companies by Po-
lice Head Result of "Nu-
merouS Complaints"

An appeal for greater care" in the
operation OF taXicabS was made today
by Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford
superintendent of police, in a letter to
officials of the taxicab companies.
Gen. GlaSsford's action was inspired
by numerous complaints of flagrant vio-
lation of the traffic regulations by taxi
drivers. His letter listed seven violations
which he said are in need of ''correc-
tive measures"
Here in the Nations Capital" Gen.
Glassford said, I'VE have very complex
problem, brought about no doubt by
the large motor vehicle registration in
this jurisdiction, the increasing num-
Der of taxicabs in operation on our
streets (far in excess of any other
city of comparable population). and
the large number of visiting tourists.
In an effort to improve our traffic
conditions your assistance and CO.
operation are requested with view of
improving the driving habits of some
of our taxicab operators. as this de-
partment is in receipt of numerous
complaints, and observation indicates
that some taxi drivers are not exer-
ciSing that care in the operation of
their vehicles which promotes safety.
without going into some of the
more serious violations. it is requested
if possible that you instruct the taxi
drivers in your company to exercise
greater care. 1t is believed that your
cooperation in this respect will be of
greater benefit than police action di-
rected against the individual driver"
Nature of Violations
The seven violations which need cor
rective measures Gen. Glassford listed
as follows:
81. A tendency on the part of many
taxi drivers IN obstructing traffic by
parking abreast for the discharge or
taking on of passengers when curb space
is nearby.
q. Suddenly stopping in the lane Of
moving traffic to pick up prospective
passenger.
80 Weaving in and out of lanes of
traffic for the purpose of getting ahead
Of traffic moving in the proper lane.
a Driving to the left of the center
Of the roadway especially at the ap-
proach of intersecting streets. in an
effort to get ahead of traffic waiting on
the proper signal.
IS. Speeding at intersections to cross
before a change of signals.
"6 Starting at intersections before
the proper signal.
"7. The unnecessary and obnoxious
use of horns when the progress of the
taxicab is delayed by congested traffic
or slow-moving vehicles in 'front.'"

Lynn knew better than to leave that

In fact, he knew If he did, he'd more

So, first of all, he got in touch with
a nearby policeman, to give full details.
