Ingenious Variety of Toys Listed-New Crayon
 a GOdSend

New York (UP).-Santa Claus has crammed his 1893 pack full of new thrills.
 A sled on wheels, built to sus- tain a running "belly bounce" with perfect safety, is one of the me- chanical marvels.
 The old rocking horse has been redesigned on modernistic' lines and gauged to rock at four differ- ent speeds and to sustain varying weights.
 An ingenious variation of the old compass toy, by a series of levers and gauges, makes it pos- sible for even three-year- old to draw literally millions of intricate designs in color.
 Parents who have been troubled by messy paints will be delighted by new invention in crayons, which make colorless marks, which, when touched by a paint brush dipped in water, blossom forth in the colors of the rainbow. Each crayon is marked to show what color it will produce when touched by water. Crayons made in America can be chewed without stomach aches. And paints on anil mals, toys and furniture are com pletely safe for inquisitive tongues.
 A new hook and ladder fire en- zine has real hose that can do efficient fire fighting. A new pedal car, which has wings like an air plane. will amuse the youngsters ambitious to be aviators.

States, is a principle rather than a national identity.
 It is for this reason that every national of every other country has enjoyed rights and privileges under the Stars and Stripes which would not be accorded by any other nation foreign to their birth place.
 Again it is discovered that what we have of viciousness, crime and lack of patriotism is not only for eign in blood, but foreign in prin- ciple.
 One does not have to look into the ranks of racketeerS and gun men to find this expression of an- i-Americanism. It stalks in some of the highest places in the nation.
 This comes to light annually among the tourists numebring for the most part those who never have severed their sentimental ties with the land of their birth and those pseudo Americans who be- lieve that possession of great wealth and power rear them above the common herd of democracy and accord them pedestal, which they term internationalism.
 If the influence ended there it would be easy of condonance, but it creates an awkward situation for those statesmen burdened with conducting international affairs. With these myriadS of false am- bassadors holding the ear of the foreigner on his own soil, it Is lit tie wonder that America is held in contempt.
 Each day shows up this canker on Americanism, and each day we learn more about the cause of the present effect. @ When the liner Titanic widowed in the throes of death in mld-At- lantic, Captain Smith steadied his crew with: Be British"
 It appears time to adopt this slogan and translate it into ''Re tmarican."

MINE SHORT COURSE NEARING AN END AT THE
 ALASKA COLLEGE

The group of Is prospectors
 taking the Mining Short Course
 this year at the Alaska College are
 busy these days studying maps of various sections of Alaska in an eff
 fort to pick out likely areas for
 their prospecting trips. Their
 practical 10-weeks' course ends this
 week.
 In commenting upon this, Dean
 Patty of the College said: Tn the
 face of economic disturbances
 there are more of our short course men going into the hills this sum- mer than ever before. Despite popular belief, prospecting is not a lost art and in recent years we note that more of the younger men are getting into the game. For the most part the younger men are awake to the fact that the easily discovered outcrops have been found and they desire to go into the hills better equipped for find ing than were the old timers. The most effective and direct way to increase the scope of gold mining in Alaska is the discovery of new deposits and as yet we have no substitute for the prospector as the initial starting point. They are our pivot nen-the most valuable clan we have in Alaska. Our pur- pose here at the College is to re- cruit their dwindling ranks with vigorous young blood. Some say that the younger men refuse to get out into the. hills and dig. Like most generalizations this isn't even half true. Give them the incentive that the men had in the early days of Dawson, Fairbanks and Nome and they would dig just as fast and furious as any other group. Human nature hasn't changed much during the past 30 years. Our problems here in Alas ka aree not so much a shortage of | as it is of financing | the men who should be in the hills. Lode prospecting can only be done during the summer months and it is then that most men have to be busy earning enough to carry them

thru the year."
 The majority of the men taking the short course this year were from Fairbanks District but there was sprinkling of men from oth- CT districts who came to the Col lege expressly for this work. These men were from Chandalar, Idita- rod, Willow Creek districts and one man from Cordova and anoth- CT from Juneau. Present indica- tions are that about one-third of these men will spend next summer prospecting. All of them would be in the hills prospecting next sum- mer if it were not for the neceSsi- ty of summer employment.

ANCHORAGE UTILITIES


 The announcement that the Fed eral government had disposed Of the electric light distributing sys- tenn to the city of Anchorage for approximately S22,000, at first glance appears to have been gen. erous gesture. It was not so long ago that an appraisemert of $70,000 was made by the govern ment as the value of this system.
 But, under the rules of business, the distributing system has de- teriorated 20 per cent each year of its existence. This deterioration has been prevented each year by renewals at the cost of the tax payers of Anchorage, or instead of the system being worth $22,000 it had been written off twice with in the past 10 years.
 Thus, instead of Anchorage be- ing compelled to dig up for it's purchase, the little city was com pelled to pay for something which did not exist.
 The situation ended happily, but for fear that Nebraska's Howl will accuse the Headquarters City of having mulcted the government, it may be said that his idea of running governmental institutions for blood was carried out to the letter.
 AMERICA FINDING ITS SOUL
 AS events unfold themselves un- der stress of pressure exerted by the depression, America again finds itself at the point where it becomes necessary to take stock of our human assets and begin a classification to determine what was American in principle and patriotism and what was quasi American, or wholly foreign.
 Thus it was not a question ot blood or previous nationality, but one of principle. This might be further enlarged by pointing out hat America. or the United

A MUCH NEEDED REFORM

Til has been introduced in Congress calling for the letting of for public works only to Aner citizens and stpulatng that all material entering into such construction shall be- products of the United States, where they capable of being supplied within the Unltod States.
 This bill is sponsored by the Tennessee delegation and appears to have liberal support
 As time anfclds revelations to light showing that all legislation for many years has been directed favoring manufacturing and business and that directed to the rubc has been almost negligible It is refreshing to note turn in the tide and tendency embrace all people within the scope of legislation.
 If the bill referred to above passes it will solve problem confronting Alaska. As pointed out by M. D. Williams district engineer of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads for Alaska he has option but to accept bids from alien firms for public works in the Territory and has power to compel the employment of Alaskan labor All that can be done to force contractors to specify mininum wage to he paid projects which they bid
 The law comes under the favored nations clause of treaty arrangements, whereby U. S. contractors are en- titled to bid foreign projects As will be seen this law directed solely to favorng big organizations of cap tai but scouts the economical effect upon American labor and materials.

RALEIGH, Aug. ION a n y
textile mill operators are at
tempting to evade the require
ments of the NRA textile wage
code by classifying many of their
operatives as learners and pay
ing them only Sc week i'll
stead of So a week as the code
demands, according to the many
letters of complaint being receiv-
ed by Commissioner of Labor A.
l.. Fletcher, he said yesterday.
He is getting from eight to ten
letters a day from mill employees
reporting violations Of the code,
many of them enclosing their
pay envelopes showing how much
they have been paid.
Commission Fletcher is not
only attempting to make an in
vestigation of every one of the
complaint he receives, but IS
sending all these letters on to
Washington to the National Re-
covery Administration, which will
also make an investigation of all
the reported violations, he said.
"While we have not yet had
time to check up on all the COM
plants received. most Of them
appear to be we'll founded and to
indicate that a good many en-
ployers are seeking to evade pay
ment of the minimum wage scale
agreed upon by CHASING many of
their experienced workers as
learners" Commissioner Fletcher
said. eve have also had some
complaints where some mills
have reduced all their better paid
help to the minimum wage scale,
apparently to compensate for
raising their other help up to
this scale. We are going to
make a thorough investigation
into all these complaints, and If
we find the complaints support
ed by conditions and evidence,
we shall bring to the attention
of the government Immediately"
Commissioner Fletcher is re-
ceiving from eight to ten letters
a day from employees, most OF
the letters signed. telling of VIC.
lations of the government code.
All of these letters are held
strictly confidential so that those
who write in may do so without
any danger of their names being
revealed and of their losing
their jobs. The government in
Washington is also holding all
complaints sent as confidential
and employees noticing any vio-
lations of the various codes are
urged to report such violations
with the assurance that their
names will not be revealed.
Most of the letters reporting
! textile code violations are COM
ing from mill towns in the Pied
mont, although they are also
coming from some other sections
as well. Here are some extracts
