like to watch their evening flights in
orderly fiocks, swooping hither and yon
over the roofs and streets just as the
sum is setting, an exhibition OF regi-
mentation and orderly parade that might
give pointers to military commanders. 1t
almost seems as if in these twilight
swirlings the birds are openly Haunting
their foes. And their procedure OF
selecting their resting places is enter
tanning, as they pick the edges on which
they are to rest for the night. They are
fussy about their stations, quarreling
and pushing, disputing and jostling, un-
til the street lamps are turned on and
then gradually they settle down to
slumber, a veritable community mani
festation.
Year after year the starting problem
has been encountered and its solution
has been sought. and always with the
same result. A few of the birds are
caught, but so few as to make no show
ing of thinning the ranks. Evening after
evening the birds return from their feed
ing fields, somewhere out in the coun-
try, scurry aloft in play, fuss about
heir roosts, sleep through the night, and
are gone before the earliest risers appear
in the streets. And meanwhile the nui-
sance persists, the city is soiled and the
brains of the authorities are strained in
seeking remedies. Perhaps after all the
problem must be attacked by the Ma
tional Government, with the formation
of a determined offensive, a bird brain
trust perhaps, maybe even the Army
with noxious gas, possibly the aviators
with nets. The S. S. S. may soon take
its place with the other alphabetical
symposiums to rid the Capital of its
pest.

Alaska's Gold.
From the Portland Oregon Journal

From the Portland Oregon Journal.
Gold shipments from Alaska for the
month OF october amounted to S2,018,-
549. The value of all other products
shipped from Alaska was S1960,043.
The largest single item aside from gold
was canned salmon, the value of which
was S1O09,624. Other fish products
shipped during the month included
fresh and frozen halibut and salmon,
cured cod and herring, CLAIMS, crabs
and shrimps. Fish meal and fish oil
products alone amounted to $73,653.
The value of the reindeer meat
shipped during the month was $19,274.
White fox skins valued at S40,387, as
well as blue, black and red fox skins
and mink, muskrat and beaver pelts,
helped to swell the income of the fur
trappers for the month. The total
value of all products shipped for the
month of October was S4,073,031.
Alaska has no labor problem, for
most of the local residents who are not
employed are out for themselves,
trapping or mining.
When the liner Victoria docked at
Seattle last week it brought $4,000
of newly mined gold When the $4,000
ounces of gold was shipped, the old
prices prevailed, but the day the gold
was received at Seattle it was sold at
the new high price Of $32.84 per ounce
The district in and about Nome pro-
duced over 100000 in gold during
the past season The high price being
paid for gold means much toward the
prosperity of Alaska It is market

End of Feudalism,
From the Charlotte Observer.

EioHi the SHdIIotte observer.
In an address to the textile leaders
OF the State in Pinehurst convention,
Charies A. Cannon, one of the most
eminent mdustrialiSts of the whole
South, not only gave public approval
to the Presidents national recovery
program, but lauded its principles as
representing a new era in business
morality
Not all of the giant business and in
dustrial leaders of the land-pot even
all OF them in the South-have been
willing to give up their feudal-
mlndedness. Here and there yet abound
the final Pickering embers of the old
1alth that to the victors. even in ma
terial pursuits, belong the SpoilS, and
that special classes are entitled to
special privileges at the hands of
government.
Mr.. Cannon, however, has denied that
faith and Spurned the traditions that
have now but few followers to defend.
He gives his complete assent to the
operation of the textile code-by the
way, the first code for any of the great
industries of America to be written,
serves notice that the ancient order has
no appeal for him. that he is an in
duStrlal progressive. willing to think
along with the President. and work
along with him, in. the fostering of a
new era of industrial development not
only, but of an industrial philosophy.
This is no casual commitment which
Mr.. Cannon makes and those others of
his industry who have, also, willingly
and eagerly gone over to the new
ethicalism
1t is, indeed, the beginning of new
era-the end of a regime when capital
considered that it had right to assume
unique influence and authority and
when industry was predicated upon the
theory that the multiplication of
profits, at any human cost, was its
major motive.

Martin A. Leese.

Washington loses in the death of
Martin A. Leese a valuable citizen,
greatly beloved by his fellow townsmen
A native of this city, he was through
out his life devoted to the advancement
of its welfare and was identified with
all movements for its development The
esteem in which he was held was ex-
pressed several years ago in the award
of distinguished service medal" by
one of the civic organizations to him
as the citizen who during that year
had rendered the most outstanding and
unselhsh service to the District of Co.
lumbia. For eight years he had been
the head of the Washington Chamber
Of Commerce and in that capacity he
contributed valuably to the promotion
OF the industrial prosperity of the Cap
ital. Mr.. Leese rendered a particularly
important service to Washington in
establishing here pioneer locally
owned radio broadcasting station which
has become nationally known through
its inclusion in one Of the major
chains. His exceptional personal quail
ties endeared him to a wide circle of
friends and his adherence throughout
his career to the highest principles of
business integrity won the enduring re-
spect of his fellow citizens. His loss is
deeply felt and he will be held in af-
fectionate memory by all who knew
him personally and with whom he had
dealings. Modest as to his own attain
ments, he was nevertheless ra,cd by
his fellow citizens as one of Washing
tons most worthy native sons.

befoul the pavements and the facades,
to din the ears of the public with their

made, often gives as much of an argyll
ment as the famous average person
desires.
The questioner. then, has every right
to put his question, but he must not be
surprised, as he too often is, when the
enthusiastic one, who has just finished
praising a work, is unable for the life
Of him to tell him what it is all about.
The impression made. however. is
something. The fact that the article
aroused enthusiasm ought to count for
something.
The truth seems to be that analysis,
Of any sort, is continuity, as the film
and radio people would call 1t.
Reasoned thought cannot be reduced
to a few sentences. It must grow in
the writer's mind, word by word it must
grow. until In the end something more
has been produced, as the result, than
the mere words.
The man with a poor memory, It
would seem, at least is fair to this ideal.
He refuses to attempt to "tell what
it said" because in the bottom of his
mind he realizes the sheer Inability
of most of US to so reduce a reasoned
production to the limits of few words.
What he should do, in all fairness.
especially to himself, is 20 to the trou-
BILE, at the end of his reading. when ad-
miration is large, to put to himself the
question that others are likely to put
to him:
What did it say?"
1t Is rather silly, after all, to be un-
able to meet it.
No matter how much one excuses
one s Sell, by declaring that an answer
Is scared out" of him by a sudden
questioning, he must admit to himself
tnat perhaps he did not read as we'll as
ne should in the first place.
II IL mad been novel he were read
ing, he would have had no trouble in
the least in recalling the plot, probably
in some detail
Why, then, should he experience any
difficulty in recalling at least few ar
3umsnts of the article which he is will
ing to praise so highly?

Many persons undoubtedly need a
stern revising of their reading habits
after they reach what is vaguely called
middle age.
There are all sorts of bad habits one
gets into. as the mere result of living.
and sloppy reading undoubtedly is one
of them.
The argument strikes one as brilliant,
all right, but unless one is willing to

the brilliant deductions of the author
Will escape him in the showdown

think. while reading! Thus the work
Is not in vain, particularly in that good
personal relationship which exists be-
tween the good writer and his good
reader.
II reader finds himself in an en-
oarrasslng situation, from time to time.
simply because his enthusiasm has led
MIN TO praise certain work without
carrying away much of 1t, he should see
70 1t that he begins a small reform.
He should make certain before he says
a word that he actually knows the
main thesis of his reading.
II this seems too much like the old
methods of schools, it may be said that
there was much good in those old
methods, and perhaps most of us
willingly forget them largely because
they involve work.
