CERTIFICATES OF
 ACCOMPLISHMENT

Wrangell Institute gives it's cred it's on the basis of real accomplish ment. The students are working to gain ability to do certain useful things or to understand certain things. When a student has shown his ability in a special field he is granted a Certificate of Accomplish ment. On the first Monday of the second term about twenty certifi- cates were granted. One certificate stated that the student to whom it was granted could set up and keep a set of books involving double entry, another certified that the student could make simpe furniture invoving making of common joints, surfacing, staining and finishing, Many studets are at work on differ e1t fields of accomplishment and it looks as if a large number of certi- ficates will be issued at the end of the second term.

TOTEM CARVER

There are very few of the present generation of Alaska Natives who have the ability or are interested in the carving of Totem poles but Wrangell Institute is fortunate in that we have enrolled in our stu dent body a young boy who possesses this ability to a marked degree.
 We are speaking of Horace Marks, crippled lad from Hoonah, Alas ka. Horace comes from long line of Totem carvers His grandfather and father were both experts in their line and Horace inherited their art.

 Those who saw the performance all agreed it pictured a lesson of the horrors of war and was strong plea for peace. The sketch was pre- sented in a most professional man ner and at times the audience for got they were viewing a play and their minds turned back to the real days in France. Lighting and scenic effects were worked out very min utely and set off the sketch very we'll.
 Much credit is due Mrs. Jackson, her dramatic club and other help CTS who made this presentation pos sible.

OUR SOCIAL LIFE

In order to give people who are interested in the activities of Wran- gell Institute an idea of how social functions are engineered we will make use of these columns to ex- plain the general procedure. We be- leve this will be helpful in view of the fact that many people, who have no idea of the actual circumstances, still have ideas of their own which are sometimes deveoped to a degree approaching exaggeration.
 Shortly before the beginning of the school year a social committee was appointed by Mr. Jackson. This committee consists of three staff members and three student mem bers. After the arrival of the stu dents this fall, a program of social events for the first school semester was posted in both dormitories. This program Is so arranged as to give us a greater variety of activities.
 and more even distibution of kinds of socials in a given period of time. On two Saturdays a month the stu dents who wish may attend matinees in town. On the alternate Saturdays, parties are arranged for the eve ming with certain committee of staff and students in charge of each party. One of these parties during the month is a dance and the other party of games and stunts.
 On Sunday evenings the girls dormitory is open for visitors.
 If any special occasion that is not scheduled arise it is submitted to the social committee and approv- ed before it can be given place on the social calendar.

fLUTTERING LINGERIE
 MADDENS BULL MOOSE

How a 900lb. moose wrecked the wireless station of the Washing ton-Alaska Military Cable and Tele- graph System at Takotna because he had come down from the hills to inspect a pair of silk panties flying on the operators clothesline and became entangled in 1t, was reported to the officers of the sys- tenn in Seattle last week. according to the Alaska Weekly.
 The moose put the station out of commission and Private William H. Lehman, the operator, later had the moose put out of commission, so the service considers it a standoff. It is even better than a standoff, be- cause Private Lehman and his wife will have moose meat for their Thanksgiving dinner instead of con- turing that meal up out of can.
 On the night of October about 11:30 when the private and his wife were asleep at the station, Leh- man reported to Col George E. Kumpe, officer in charge, he was suddenly awakened by a terrific noise on the roof and side of the station.
 "It sounded as though the build ing was being torn apart" Lehman wrote. "At first thought there had been an explosion of some kind Il ran out of the front door-it was bright moonlight-a big bull moose had become all mixed up with the counterpoise wires and was hopelessly entangled He was rear ing and jumping and bawling.."
 Lehman rushed back for his rifle, but the moose meanwhile got away, tearing down the antenna, the counterpoise (ground) wire and the
 lothesline. Early next morning Lehman put a quarter-breed Indian on the trail, he says, and at noon the Indian bagged the moose.
 "The station now has plenty of moose meat" the private concluded his report
 Takotna is about 500 miles north west of Anchorage.

MIR GORDON DROPS IN

Literally dropping out of the skies for a brief unexpected visit to Wrangell Institute, Dr. Paul w. Gordon, Director of Education for Alaska, was our guest for the brief space of about one day this week. MT. Gordon was on his way, by plane, to Ketchikan when the plane developed engine trouble and drop ped into Wrangell over night for repairs.
 MT. Gordon found time to discuss some of the problems of the school with MT. Jackson and also to visit some of the classes to see how the work was coming along. He has promised to be back in a week or ten days to have a longer visit with us.
 At the program given by the Metlakatla Orchestra on Monday, Mr. Gordon gave a short interesting talk to the students. During the course of the talk he said he had left Juneau with a headache, his bank account hadn't balanced, he had been sent to bed the night be- fore without supper etc. but the music had made him forget many of his troubles.

When Horace was 13 years of age he carved his first Totem Pole and entered it in a contest It won first prize. Since then he has earned much of his way through his earv- Ings.
 Those who have seen the work that Horace does, not only in beauti- full carving but in his artistic sense of color agree that he is on a par with any of the Totem carvers in Alaska. At the present time he is at work making Totems for many of the w. I. Staff members.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 25.-
Frank Borich, National Secretary of
the National Miners Union, mar
rowly escaped death here Wednesday
when the car he was driving was
completely wrecked by a large ma
chine which crashed head on into
him.
Comrade Borich, who was return

slightly injured.
Frank Borich is touring the mine
fields of Western Pennsylvania, re-
porting on the coal code hearings
recently concluded in Washington.
Large, enthusiastic gatherings greeted
him at Avella, Coverdale, Bentley
vile and Brownsville. At all of the
meetings the role of the A. F. of l..

miners strike was exposed.
The loss of the car, though, is a
great loss to the Union, and anyone

Cannot Interfere
With Ala. Lynching
Says US. Attorney
Acknowledgement Re
fuses Action Against
Lynch Rule

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a
The statement that the Federal gov
eminent cannot very well" inter-
fere with lynch law in Alabama was
the answer given by U. S. Attorney
General H. S. Cummings and his
assistant Attorney General Stanley
to a delegation composed chiefly OF
Negro and white lawyers who called
on them late Thursday to demand
federal arrest and prosecution OF
lynchers in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The lawyers forced the attorney
general to grant an interview after
repeated stalling on the part of their
Office, which went SO far as to state
falsely that Cummings was out of
town, to get out of it.
After hearing the members Of the
delegation, Stanley, who is a South
ern Democrat, and Cummings, said
merely that HWe cannot very well
interfere with Alabama's judicial
system"
The only system of law the dele
gates had referred to was Alabama
lynch law.
The delegates quoted from the fed
eral criminal code section which
makes the federal government re-
sponsible for interfering in just such
situations as that now existing in
Alabama, and presented a memoran-
dunn of law showing that the gov
eminent, was, under this law, obli-
gated to step in Immediately.

Roosevelt ReviveS
Credit Initiation
Program for Banks

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In a
sudden move to counteract the crack
ing of the artificially stimulated
prices in the wheat and other COM
modify markets, the Federal Reserve
Board announced today that it has
launched on a program of credit ex-
pansion by buying Government bonds
in the open market.
BY buying Government bonds in
the open market, the Federal Re-
serve Bank automatically builds a
large amount Of excess reserves in
the various member banks. The
Roosevelt government hopes that as
this credit piles up in the banks,
they will lend more money to bust
ness, and production and prices will
begin to rise again.
This plan was tried twice during
the Hoover administration with COM
plete failure to do anything more
than pile up useless reserves in the
banks. AS means Of starting bust
ness upward it is doomed to failure.

Cost of Living Is

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-Fears
that the rapid rise in the cost of
living is reducing the very factor
that the Government is trying to
increase-buying power-are being
more frequently heard in official
circles here.
These fears were considerably
confirmed yesterday by the publ
cation of the report of the National
Industrial Conference Board, which
showed that the living standards of
the workers has dropped several
points further.
Living costs increased 3.3 per
cent in the last eight weeks, accord
ing to the report, indicating a rapid
rate of increase. Practically all
articles have shared in the increase,
with food increases being especially
sharp.
Cotton goods and woolens have
also jumped sharply upward in
price. Department stores show the
following increases: IS per cent rise
in blanket prices, Sc per cent rise
in shirt prices, etc.

Potash Speaks at
Observation-Disclosures
in Washington, DC.
Demands Guarantee
Of Work and Wages

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 25.-
After waiting for two days, Earl
Dean Howard, MIRA administrator,
was forced to grant hearing to the
delegates of the Needle Trades Work
ers' Industrial Union last night fol-
lowing vigorous protest by Ben
Gold, the unions national secretary.
Irving Potash, secretary of the
union, finally permitted to speak, at
tackled the proposed code drawn up
jointly by the ILGW officials and the
bosses and exposed the recent dress
strike agreement in which thousands
Of dreSsmakers had no voice. He de-
manded that the jobbers and the
government take the responsibility of
assuring every dressmaker the mini
mum wage scales and a guarantee
of So weeks of work year. The boss
es and the ILGW officials were most
uncomfortable when Potash denounc-
ed the practice of discriminating
against Negro workers in the trade.
Dubinsky and HICKMAN, who had
been heckling Potash before this,
were silent while some of the Advis-
DRY Board members appeared
shocked.
Potash centered his attack on the
three scales for cutters pointing out
that it was an attempt to Swindle
the cutters out of their full wages.
He also presented the demand for
$110 an hour for pressers and other
wage demands included in the
Unions code.
Although every attempt was made
to hush up Potash and to cheat him
out of his allotted time to speak by
heckling coming especially from the
ILGW officials, he forced the Board
to hear the facts about the joint con-
spiracy of the bosses and the ILGW
heads to force workers to join the
ILGW and demanded the right of
the workers to choose their own
union and to have representation on
all Boards set up by the code. He
presented kilograms and signatures
of $4,000 workers to back up his de-
mands.
Howard tried to prove that there
was legal recognition Of Negro rights
when Potash completely blasted this
by citing the experience of Follops,
Negro delegate from the Union, who
was unable to get meal in any
Washington restaurant.
The hearings were hastily adj
journed by Howard who wanted to
prevent Louis E. Boridin from con-
tinuing his speech.

Lehman Tries Last
Minute Strategy to
Aid Tammany Hall
Proposes That Tam
many Postpone Sales
Tax Till After Election

ALBANY, Aug. %. - AS the
Legislature came to a close today
with the passage of the Bill that
gives the Tammany City administra-
ton full power to increase the pres
emit Sales tax by one per cent. Gov
ernor Lehman made a last minute
attempt to protect Tammany Hall
from the necessity of levying new
taxes before the coming elections.
1t is generally admitted that the
one thing that Tammany desires at
the present time is to avoid having
to levy new taxes before November.
Lehman's move to aid Tammany in
the coming elections completely be-
lies the carefully built up legend that
he is free from Tammany control.
Another revealing report yester-
day was the news that Peter Grimm,
prominent real estate representative
who is also reputed to be an enemy"
of Tammany, privately worked to
have Lehman's preliminary STRAIT
egg adopted by the Legislature.
The 80 day session cost the people
$114,000 in salaries, etc.

Threatens to Arrest Pickets
Whalen said that throughout the

picketing shoe, furniture and tobacco

says that in the NRA certain laws

of such laws prohibits picketing of

mentS.
He was particularly enraged at a
circular which he exhibited to news
paper men, pointing out a paragraph
which read: 'Let there be no illu-
sions about the Recovery Act help
ing the workers. The Roosevelt
Wall Street program does not mean
to relieve us from distress, but is the

simultaneously with this strike
breaking threat, came the announce
ment from Whalen that he is plan
ming an enormous parade down Fifth
Avenue in celebration of the blessings
of the NRA. All the generals of the
local military forces, as well as the
local regiments and police force will
be out in full force, Whalen said. 1t
is clear that this parade will not only
have the purpose of binding the
eyes of the workers to the failure OF
the NRA to provide any real i'm
provement in the crisis, or to pro-
vide the promised jobs, but will also
be a gigantic attempt to intimidate
those workers who are now on strike
for better conditions.
