ALASKA'S DEBT TO ANDREW
 JOHNSON.

The powers that be in the premises have asked for suggestions for name for the Alaska service boat of the Bureau of Education. Very the Father of Alaska" Alaska has honored, and with justice, the of Seward We have a holiday named for him. the anniversary of the signing of the treaty of purchase with Russia March 30. We have a Seward Peninsula, an import ant town named Seward Seward Street in Juneau etc. etc.
 However, some day Alaska ought to do something to honor the name of President Andrew Johnson With almost. or quite, much appropriateness as Father of Alaska" Seward was Johnson's Secretary of State mad the two worked together amiably and effectively toward the ends That was par ticularly true in the of Alaska Some authori- ties even give Johnson credit for developing Stewards enthusiasm in the matter. It is known that on more than one occasion the President asked Seward anxiously as to the status of the negotiations It is also known that it President Johnson more than any else who influenced enough Senatorial votes to bring about the ratification of the Alaska Treaty.
 Some years ago, Senator Watson C. Squire of Washington who had made a study of the ques- tion and cited his authorities a speech at Seattle gave the preponderance of credit for the purchase of Alaska to President Johnson.
 There is enough credit in the results for all concerned but it should not be forgotten that Joh- son was President and head of the Nation when the treaty was negotiated and Seward was his

Political commentators inclined to dwell on the narrowness of the Republican majority in the Senate and that of the Democrats in the House However, after all there is little consolation for the Democrats in that small Republican Senate majority or for Republicans in that small Demo- cratic House majority Sometimes very small majority is more effective than large one, but a minority regardless of how large does not carry control

 One finds that in buying the 399 cars that Secretary Hyde's depart ment will trade in 233 cars, but will get an average of only about s100 apiece for them. The net cost of the 399 new cars will be s225 900.
 They range from priced coupes and roadsters, with a few trucks and station wagons thrown in. There will be a $500 coupe to be used flor visiting rosin and
 turpentine stills Another S60 coupe will be flor travel from Galesburg, H., on the cattle grub investigation" A coupe for travel from Fairbanks, Alaska, on the reindeer bot investigation" will cost S730. The reindeer bot is the larva of an insect which gives reindeer the "tummy ache" Another $500 car will be for use in the inspec- ton of larch canker and Dutch Elm disease" in New England.

Golf Analysed
BY JOE GLASS.

One consideration In maintaining
body balance Is placing the weight
properly on the feet. It must be
distributed, some experts say, more
on the heels than on the balls Of the
feet. while others hold that the
balls should bear most Of it. One
thing on which al agree, however.
u that stability for the pivot and
leverage for the swing must be pro-
Wded. Consequently weight must
not be too far forward or too far
back.
Eager for distance, great numbers
OF golfers put most OF their weight
too far forward. They swing hard
and, as the clubhead comes down.
up on their toes they go. Balance Is

BAL LHMORE GOLFER
| NOTED. AS SLUGGER
Brother of Glenn Assumes
New Duties Monday-Tony
Manero Sought Job.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

)LIFF SPENCER, we'll known
Baltimo ore professional
~ and one of the finest golf
ers in the paid ranks In
the Middle Atlantic area, today
was named professional at the
Beaver Dam Country Club, at
Landover, Md. Spencer will as
sumo his new duties next Monday.
He succeeds Henry D. Miller, who
served with the club for five years
before becoming associated with
the Baltimore Country Club two
months ago.
Spencer is a brother of Glenn S.
Spencer. professional at the New Mary
land Country Club, and served with his
brother at that club and other golf
organizations near Baltimore for several
years before taking over the profess
Sional berth at the Forest Park course
in Baltimore last year. He was chosen
for the Beaver Dam berth from group
of half hundred applicants, many of
them of considerable national prom
inence. Among the applicants was
Tony Manero of New York, one of the
finest golfers in this country.
CPENCER is % years Of age, and like
~ his brother Glenn, has a notable
reputation as lengthy hitter
Some of the feats Of the Spencer
brothers in hitting golf ball to great
lengths are almost unbelievable Both
are without doubt among the biggest
hitters of the land. Glenn has more
of a~reputation as hitter, but he has
played in more competitions than his
brother Cliff. Those who have seen
them play together say that Cliff Is
quite as long as his brother.
The appointment was made by the
Golf Committee of the club, headed by
M. H. Maier. Beaver Dam had the
only open professional berth around
Washington prior to Spencer's appoint
ment.
