Why Coin Is "Dime"

Dime" is derived from the Latin "decem" meaning 10, or "decimus." one tenth. In the Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries dime" was applied in Eng land to the tithe or tenth part of ones income paid to the church. According to the King James version of the Bible. the last part of Genesis 14:20 reads. He gave him tlthes of all." John Wyclif translated this pas sage. "He gave him dymes of ale thingis." The American 10.cent piece was called dime because 1t repre- sents the tenth part of dollar, the national monetary unit,

Why Gold Is Weiehed

In the case of small deposit a bank probably would accept, for instance a SlO or S2O deposit in gold coin on the basis of the sum stamped on its face. In any considerable sum, however, the bank would weigh the gold coins. Gold wears off easily. If $10O deposit in gold coin weighed little light, credit on the bank hook would be given for only sos or $97. or whatever the sub traction through wear might show. This is not necessary in accepting de- posits of silver or paper, because the government guarantees the value of these. Gold must stand on its own weight and fineness and, therefore, is the standard.

Digging into the frozen ground of Cook Inlet recently, a woman archeologost found the first mirrors ever discov- cred in a prehistoric Eskimo settlement. These aids to beau ty were made of slate and in order to reflect the features had to be first dampened. The territory around Cook Inlet is now regarded as the southern point of the early Eskimo trek into Alaska. In shell heaps sometimes IA feet high, the ex- pedition found prehistoric orn- aments such as beads, lip plugs, an worry pendant, carved ivory head, a nose pin, lamp, needle case and bone
 needles.

In this connection he submitted a chart showing the complicated federal admins tration in Alaska. It was point ed out that unification of con- trol, and especially a single all embracing budget, would eff feet great economy in the Terr- itory.

Why Known as Indians

Indian Is an adjective originally de rived from India and was properly ap- piled to the people of that country. It was transferred to the native peo- ples of America through geographi- cal and historical mistake. When Christopher Columbus began his first Journey of exploration in 1492 his pur- pose was to sail to India. When two months later he sighted land he be- 'teyed he had reached that country. and as a natural consequence he re- ferred to the natives as Indians. Since that time the misnomer has been ap- piled to the races of the New world. with the exception of the Eskimos.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT
 THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Will. A. Steel

Il concur with the conclusions |of the Governor in this matter, and recommend that the bill be not given favorable consider ation."
 In his conclusions the Gov ernor states that under the policies that are in effect the fisheries are being protected and the depleted areas restored to normal production" to do this work the appropriations made and expended by the government during the past three years have been as fol- lows: 1929, $418,456; 1880, $414,061; 1881, $457,868. The governor adds that the average yearly revenue derived by the Territory from all sources over the past five years averages about $1,000,000 yearly, and then states: Revenues are de- creasing instead of increasing and there must be an increase in taxes next year to meet es- sential demands. During 1929 and 1930 fisheries produced 76.93 per cent of the revenue, and obviously it is impossible to further burden them to pro- vide the sum necessary to main tain an organization such as is now administering the fisher ies. Obviously the Territory is not financially able to as- sume the burden imposed by the bill. The situation with re- gard to the game is much the same. Approximately $100,000 is expended each year by the Biological Survey for warden service and predatory animal control. The combined service is now costing approximately S550,000 per year, and even though it could be had for half the sum, the Territory could not finance the organization. |" The governor further adds that " It is not advisable to place the burden on the Terri tory until such time as it is shown that it is financially able to provide adequate saf e. guards to replace those now functioning."

CHINA WILL RESIST
JAPAN AT ALL COST
Legation Here Declares Ma
ton Will Not Submit Pas
siveIy to Invasion.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Chinese government, through
its legation here, today issued state
ment that China cannot submit pas
sively to Japan's invasion and slaugh
ter of Chinese people, and, therefore
will resist Eat all points and with all
the forces at its command"
1t charged Japan with committing
atrocities and with closing every avenue
to peace. thus leaving China no altern-
ative but to continue to adopt appro-
pirate measures of self-defense to the
best of her ability
Has Faith in Justice.
The statement asserted, however. that
the Chinese government still adheres to
its faith in world justice" and has
"risked its own existence in the face of
popular feeling in the hope that world
wide pacific measures might check
Japan's reckless course"
A detailed statement of the events
leading up to the present fighting at
Shanghai preceded these assertions.
The Chinese government said it had
never doubted from the time of the
Russo-Japanese war that Japan in
tended to seize Manchuria at the first
opportunity.
Beyond charging premediation and
the use of various pretexts in the Man
churian occupation, the statement
skipped over that campaign and con-
centrated on the Shanghai situation,
asserting the japanese forces had de-
liberately used the International. Set
tlement as a base for attacks and as
a sanctuary to retire to when repulsed,
as well as shield from behind which
they directed artillery fire to which the
Chinese could not reply effectively
without endangering foreigners.
Cites Japanese Pretext.
The Japanese military forces and
civilian ununiformed elements" it con-
tinued, have killed and injured an in
calculable number of Chinese-peace-
able, unarmed men, women and chill
dren-estimated between 1000 and
1000, and imprisoned and maltreated
many others and executed many with
out trial.
The Japanese government excuses
peril due to the proximity Of the Chi
nese troops. The Chinese government
SOlemnly declares that excuse a trans
parent pretext 1t is impossible to send
japanese troops anywhere in China
without being surrounded by Chinese
population and near Chinese troops
occupying their regular stations
1t is evident that such reasoning pro-
vides an excuse for the complete con-
quest of China by Japan"

RUSSIA AND JAPAN

Dispatch Says Soviet Has

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 13.-The Daily
Express said today it understood Rus
Sia and Japan had made a secret agree
ment under which Japan would have
largely undisputed dominion over all of
Manchuria and enormous tracts of
Mongolia
The alternative to the agreement was
war, the Express said, and after a bit
ter conflict in the inner councils at Mos
COW, Joseph Stain decided the Soviet
government could not face the highly
organized war machine of modern ia
pan. and accordingly he gave way.
Will Sell Railway.
The area which comes under Jap
anese domination is 173O,O0O square
miles, the Express said. and the agree
ment involves the sale to Japan of the
Russian interests in the Chinese East
ern Railway. now jointly owned by
Russia and China.
Russia has engaged not to raise OBJ
iections to the construction of railroads
in Mongolia now being planned by the
japanese, it is related, and Moscow
also has pledged not to intervene ir
behalf of China in any matters affect
ing the Pacific Coast.
BY virtue of the campaign, which
started last September. Japan already
exercises domination over virtually al
of Manchuria, although this state o.
affairs has not yet been recognized
by the powers and the Toxic govern
merit has repeatedly said it has ne
territorial ambitions either in Man.
churia or in China proper.

that these administrations are nothine
