ALASKAN WILDS
TESTING GROUND
FOR SURVEYORS
Mapping of Vast Areas Is
Conducted by u. S.
Biologists.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps- Howard Science Fditor

Romance and adventure are COM
bined with scientific triumphs in
the story Of the Alaskan branch CT
the United States geological survey.
When Uncle Sam bought Alaska
in 1867. it was an almost unknown
country whose resources were
thought to be chiefly wild animals
and vacant land.
Then many years later came the
discovery Of the rich gold fields of
the Canadian Klondike. Prospectors
began to push their way into ada
cent parts of Alaska. and in 1898
the United States geological survey
sent out numerous field parties to
collect reliable information for the
guidance of the prospectors and
other pioneers.
That marked the real beginning of
the Alaskan branch Of the geolog-
zeal survey, although it was not re-
cognized officially as a separate en-
tity until 1903
Empowered by Congress
The chief duty of the unit was
set forth by congress as the 'in-
vestigatiOn Of the mineral resources
Of Alaska" But carrying out that
order required preliminary work of
many sorts.
When the work was started, much
Of the inland region of Alaska was
so little known that not even the
general geographic character was
known Vast areas were entirely
UNEMPLOYED. In addition, such maps
as we're available for the best
known regions were crude and in
accurate.
The first task faced by the sur
vey, therefore, was one of mapping
the territory.
The survey undertook the max
ing Of both topographic maps and
more specialized geological maps.
This work has gone on for thirty
five years so that there is available
now typographical maps for 26O,0
square miles of territory and geo.
logical maps for 277,OOO square
miles.
Pack Trains Are Used
In making these surveys the gov
eminent biologists, topographers
and engineers have necessarily had
to conduct their work so as to fit
the field conditions encountered, ;"
says DR.. Philip S. Smith, chief
Alaskan geologist of the United
States geological survey.
Thus many of the parties have
covered the areas assigned for their
Investigations by the use of pack
trains, consisting of as many as
score of animals loaded with the
equipment and supplies required for
months of travelling away from all
centers of replenishment.
All means of transportation, from
the swiftflying airplane to the slow,
laborious plodding of a man with
a heavy pack of supplies and equip
ment on his back, have been en-
ployed in the Alaskan survey, DR..
Smith says.
No Lives Are Lost
Throughout thousands of miles,
the trails and routes of these ex-
plorers still are the basis for the
only definitely recorded annals of
the country" he continues.
Working under such conditions.
the members of the field force of the
Alaskan branch must necessarily be
all-round outdoor men.
1t is the proud boast of the Alas
kan branch that in spite of the haz-
ards its men have faced and over
come, none of its parties has ever
lost man or had one permanently
injured"

Paramount has done an excel
lent job on Alice in Wonderland
and for a novelty feature it ought
to click. Main interest will be in
Charlotte Henry, the Brooklyn
girl who was picked to play the
bewildered kid who walked
through the looking glass.
Miss Henry has a unique role
for her first big venture in the
movies. She is the star of practi-
cally every scene and is surrounded
by the entire roster of Paramount
luminaries except DIETRICH. There
are quite a few outsiders also. They
are tricked up in the most fan
taStic costumes you can imagine
and a good many are hard to
recognize. A shiny new Rockefeller

me the voice behind the dancing

OF the established Paramount
big names I liked best Gary
Cooper although you will be put
to it to discern any trace Of the
lanky Western lad in his White
Knight costume.
Hollywood has a distinct ad-
vantage over Eva LIE Gallienne'S
stage production in presenting
the trick stuff. BY camera
devices they make Alice grow
short and tall at will and the1e
is Photographic magic that will
surely have you puzzled.
Singularly enough the screen
"Alice" forgets all about the trial
scene which was the big moment
Of the LIE Gallienne production.
Not a trace of it in the picture.
On the other hand the Holly
wood version makes much of the
banquet incident which was prac-
tically ignored by Miss LIE Gal
lienne'S troupe.

CONSTITUTION DAY

September II tomorrow marks the
Hath anniversary of the adoption of the
Constitution of the United States by the
constitutional convention in Philadelphia
after nearly four months of deliberations
In recent years Constitution Day has
been widely observed through suitable ex-
ercises by schools clubs and patriotic So
eieties. 1t is only the truth to say shat the
average American is by no means as ia
miliar with his great document as he
ought to be- The wisdom and foresight
of its authors have been amply indicated
throughout the life of the nation.
One of the highest tributes ever paid
the Constitution was by the eminent Brit
ish statesman, Viscount James Bryce, who
in his american Commonwealth said:
THE Constitution deserves the veneer
alton with which Americans have been ac-
cuzeomed to regard it. 1t ranks above ev-
cry other written constitution for the in
trinsic excellence of its scheme, it's adap-
ton to the circumstances of the people, the
simplicity, brevity and precision of its lam
suage. its iudicious mixture of definiteness
in principle with elasticity in Details

SEPTEMBER EIGHTEEN

Every freeholder in Monroe county
should be looking forward to September
10 as day when they snail have active
part in casting their vote for the proposed
bridges to span the gaps between Key
West ind the mainland.
Enough fIeehoders have registered
to carry the bond issue to successful af-
firmative vol mich is essential to the is
Sue being carried.
The Citizen has published, speakers
ha~e elicidated and the public has been
generally informed of the necessity of this
issue being favorahly carried; the Econom-
is League has gifted its intentions of as
sisting in getting the voters to the polls,
and everything is in readiness for the
event which is to make history for Mon
roc county.
As has been stated time and again,
there will be no money involved in this
bond issue in assessments against real es-
tate, the only real estate taken into con-
sideraticn being that required for rights
of-way.
Do not make the mistake of staying
away from the polls because of the belief
that the bond issue will be carried without
your vote, because every vote counts. To
remain at home while the vote is being
cast is equivalent to voting against it. Be
sure to be at the polls on Monday, Sep
TENDER Is. Too much stress cannot be
made upon the Importance of this.
Reports are favorable toward the pas
sage of the issue, with the assurance that
there will be practically unanimous vote
of freeholders taken, there is little doubt
that the issue will go over.
These bonds will place Monroe coun-
ty step nearer to the goal that she has
been striving Tor the past several years
securing loan for the building of the pro-
posed bridges. Hopes for the loan mount
with every action that has been thus taken.
The Monroe County Road and Toll Bridge
Commission has been working diligently to-
ward that goal, and are more enthusiastic
than ever over chances to obtain the loan.
Ire Key West Citizen still has cozfi-
dence that the loan will be granted, and
with the passing of the bond issue Septem-
Der Is, that confidence will be doubled.

CANCER NOT INHERITED

After experiments with $4,000 rats,
during period of II years, the Institute
of Cancer Research announces the definite
conclusion that cancer is never inherited
An announcement by the Institute SAYS !:
Cancer is a terrible disease, not only
because it brings pain and death, but also
because it inspires an immense amount of
worry in a great many people who are new
er going to suffer from it physically.
1T is the people who have seen cancer
attack some member of their family who
worry the most and without cause. 1t APP
pears from the research done that cancer
does not start unless there is an irritation
present. The germ cells which are in
herited from parents do not carry the liza
hility to cancer.
The main benefit derived from the
study is that it removes the fatalistic at
titude developed toward the disease II
is that attitude which keeps many persons
away from the doctor during the early
stages of cancer growth. when through an
early examination and treatment q life
might often be saved"
