 "In conclusion, I wish to extend my thanks, personally, and feel confident that I also speak the wishes of all members of your body, to our Secretary, MT Whit tier, and to the members of the Board of Managers, both in Juneau and Douglas, who have so faith fully and conscientiously carried on for our Chamber during the past two years of service. These gentlemen have carried on in the face of continuous discouragement and mere words cannot convey to them our appreciation. I pray that their good work will be con- tinued and that the Territorial Chamber will receive financial aid which will allow us to function during the coming biennium.
 We must put our shoulders to the wheel during thls critical time and by our combined efforts may Alaska-and Alaskans-come into it's own"

TORT DEARBORN, which is to be reproduced
for the Century of Progress Exposition at

through history largely because of the bravery
Of one man.
Built IN 1903 ON the site of what IS now the
city Of Chicago, the fort was intended primarily
to overawe the Indians living in the surrouno-

caused it to be abandoned at the time Of the
outbreak Of the War of 1872.

The fort was burned down by the conquer
ors, but was rebuilt four years later. From
1916 on it was garrisoned until 1t was again
abandoned in 1887. Twenty years later all the

group of Mrs. Charles D. Walcott's
exquisite Western wild flowers has been placed
on exhibition as particularly appropriate to the
season. Mrs. Walcott, when the wife of the
late secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
spent many Summers in the great West, accom-
panying her husband on his geographical ex-
petitions During these trips she made an IN
tensive study of wild flowers, painting those
she found with the utmost botanical precision
and yet artistic effect. Finally, her collection
was reproduced with amazing accuracy in .
limited edition issued by the Smithsonian In
stitution for subscribers. The Public Library IS
fortunate in having one of these sets, and it Is
from the loose-leaf portfolio that the present
exhibition was drawn.

JOHN D. AMONG.
VERY RICHEST
No LONGER

NEW YORK, March 16 U.N.S0. .
John D. Rockefeller, sr., the man
who thought only in terms Of
millions when he was cracking
the whip in the money marts but
who Of recent years has thought
only in terms Of bright shiny
dimes, is no longer the richest
man in the world.
For decades he has enjoyed
that reputation but now 1t must
be admitted that the former oil
king has abdicated his throne.
Henry Ford, Andrew Mellon,
Charles M. Schwab, Bernard
Baruch, and j. Pierepont Morgan,
to name only a few, have gone
beyond the present Rockefeller
fortune.
Voluntary AbdicatiOn
It Is equally true the senior
Rockefeller'S abdication was a
voluntary one, for since the turn
Of the century he has given away
several fortunes to philanthropic
activities and turned over huge
holdings to his son.
Early in the 1900's Rockefeller
launched himself on his philan-
thropic career. At that time
estimates of his wealth were
around the billion dollar mark.
He founded the Rockefeller
Foundation and that has, Of
course, been a tremendous ex-
pense to him. His wealth was
soon converted into so-called "gilt
edged securities" These rose in
value until they reached their
peak in 1929. But since then?
"A substantial part of the Rookie
Teller fortune has been and is tied
up with such stocks and bonds as
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe;
international Harvester preferred,
Ohio Oil Company, Standard Of
Indiana, and Standard Oil Of
New Jersey. A glance at the
financial page will tell what has
happened to them. q
John d. Jr. Weather
Because most of fis fortune
was in securities it seems fair to
assume that today the Rockefeller
fortune is considerably less than
one-third of what it was five
years ago. Added to that is the
fact that last year John D. jr.,
paid a. larger income tax than
did his father and that the same
situation will exist this year.
But as the former king plays
his few holes of golf each day
and tosses new dimes to people
he meets, embracing gracefully
his new status of abdicated
monarch, one feels he doesn't
care very much about the fortunes
he has given away or lost.

new Treatment
FOR EXPECTANT
and NURSING
MOTHERS

When a baby is expected, laxa.
tives must not be used. Mother must
not take them as long as she is
carrying or nursing the little one.
Doctors will tell you that laxa.
tive drugs taken by the mother are
a danger to baby. It is crime to
risk your baby's health. That is why
they so often advise Cream Of Nujol.
This new form Of Nujol is spe-
cially suitable for expectant and
nursing mothers because it does not
upset the stomach or cause cramps
and does not pass into the milk.
If you are expecting a baby, take
the new harmless Cream Of Nujol
treatment night and morning. It is
kind to the delicate bowel mem-
branes, and being free Of drugs, it is
safe for you and your child. More
over, it is delicious and easy to take.
At a cost Of only a few cents a day it
will make you "as regular as clock
work" and protect the health Of your
child. Buy it at any drug counter.

chase of hundreds of thousands of dollars of
new merchandise and the investment of
small fortune in newspaper advertising.
We believe the fact that our customers re-
sponded to this sales campaign in such
crowds as to overtax our facilities on Satur-
day was of sufficient "news' value to warrant
front page publicity. If something like over
10000 people were interested enough to come
to The Hecht Co. to spend their money on one
day during this crisis, we think that they and
additional thousands would have been inter-
ested to see this story in print, to see pictures
of the crowds in which they participated, pub
lished in their favorite newspaper.
In our humble judgment, this story would
have been of more relative Importance to our
