"reminiscences were the order of
the day Sunday at FIT. Friendly, 512
North Illinois street, when the
annual Appomattox day program
was held by the Federated Patriotic
Societies allied with the G. A. r.
Three survivors of the tWelve-day
battle that brought surrender of
General Robert E. Lee and ended
the Civil war, were present as guests
of honor.
They were Joseph B. Henninger,
assistant state acknowledgement;
James Bird, 1910 Harrison street,
and James Clark, 1927 Eugene

who is always the good gal mis-
understood by her boy friends. The
feminine carrying on of Sammy
Cohen is not comedy to me. 1t
comes pretty close to being bad en-
tertainment taste most of the time
And the continual Souse Of Will
Stanton gets me rather fed up on
this sort of comedy.
The real legitimate comedy work
is done by Frank Moran, a tough
guy, who goes in for musical classics
and highbrow literature to give him
strength for another fight.
Personally, I do not care for this
wild comedy acting on the part of
Dunn. And Sally Eilers doesn't have
a chance to be human.

FERROUS sounding names. They look
like candidates for crossword
puzzles or the closely guarded pass
words of some secret order. They
are in reality, however, names to
which all Of civilization owes debt
The present day is an age of
science. The oldest of all the sci
ences is astronomy It was in
astronomy that mankind first dis
covered the existence Of natural
laws and realized that events hap
pen according to them.
Many authorities feel that the
other sciences would have been de-
Iayed for centuries if it had not
been for the realization of the ex-
lstence of natural law which came
from astronomy
We owe a debt therefore to as
tronomy for all our applied sci
ences, medicine, %. example, and
the various branches of engineering.
We owe particular debt to the pio-
neers of astronomy, the great minds
who laid the foundations of the
study of the heavens

Oldest Were Greeks

And that is why civilization owes
a great debt to Naburiannu and
Kidinnu For they are the oldest
astronomers Of whom we have any
record. They lived in ancient
Chaldea.
The work Of the Greeks in as
tronomy has been known to scien-
lists for many years. Thales of
Mlletus, who lived from $40 to 546
3. c., and who is usually referred to
as the father of Greek astronomy,
taught that the stars shone by their
own light, but that the moon shone
by reflected sunlight. He also taught
that the earth was a sphere.
Scientists, knowing of these
Greeks, felt that they established
astronomy as a science. They felt
that the earlier cultures, the Chal-
dean and Babylonian, were inter-
ested only in astrology, the attempt
to predict the future course of
events from the stars.
Careful Records Kept
Inc puDllCaJlOn WITHIN recent
years, however, of a number of
hitherto unknown Babylonian and
Greek texts makes it necessary to
revise this opinion of the Chal-
deans.
The world is chiefly indebted to
the industry of a number of Ger
man Jesuit fathers, Epping, strass-
maier and Kugler by name, for
knowledge of these texts.
They reveal that the Chaldeans
were excellent astronomers. having
kept careful records of the mo-
lions of the sun and moon for long
periods.
These texts also introduce us to
Naburiannu and Kidinuu.

A Greater Navy.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Our naval policy at present is curious one.
 While enforcing rigid economies to reduce the an-
 nual operating cost, spending about $247-
 0O0 in the next three years to construct 32 new
 vessels and number of naval airplanes This conflict of economy and lavish expenditure how ever, is merely reflection of the general financial policy of the nation Having reduced the regular expenditures of the country by nearly a billion
 dollars the Administration has provided extra ordinary credits of more than $3000000000 for public works and other purposes. Thus operating costs trimmed everywhere, but new construc- tion is expanded to make work.
 This is properly applicable to the navy. When the need for drastic economies in government de- Ivelped, the navy obliged to share in the re- Itrenchments But when vast became avail able for construction, it less appro- priate that the navy should have share of those funds.
 The failure thus far of the Disarmament Con-
 ference, the growth of uncertain political tensions
 abroad the frankly belligerent attitude the Japan ese have taken regarding the 5-5-3 tonnage ratio these and other factors compel the belief that our navy should be built up nearer to the maximum allowed by treaty commitments. Perhaps the American Government could well make greater eff
 forts to effective reduction of naval estab lishments But until that is accomplished we have no choice but to maintain adequate navy of our own.

BUSINESS MEN IN. LINE.

The assurance given at the Chamber Of Con- merce meeting Thursday by spokesmen of Juneau $ business fraternity that business firms here are solidly back of the Presidents competitive business code merely made public what individually they had declared days ago. Not merchant or other employer of local labor, certain, has ever had any idea of doing anything but support the President. The plan was so evidently based upon sound practical reason and was such good psychol- ogy that business itself had nothing to lose and everything to gain by embracing it whoeheartedly and without reservation Of course, compliance could not in most cases immediately follow the will to comply It takes time to make necessary adjust ments in adopting any new system. The President himself recognized this fact as is evidenced by the fact that business was given until the end oi August to adopt the code And it IS further emphasized by the appeal of General Johnson, Ma tional Administrator, to urge the people not to boycott firms who have not yet complied, but who desire to and will do soon as they can
 The Administration IS, or course not advocating any boycott But it will urge the people, after sufficient time has elapsed for everyone to sign up to patronize only those business firms who display the Blue Eagle, the emblem of the MIRA code On the basis of the great flood of applications for MIRA emblems that have swamped postoffices and wash ington from all over the country, it seems tha there will be little if any need for any such pressure to be brought to bear.
 It is very evident that it will not be needed il Juneau Other Alaska towns report the same con ditions that prevail here. Like the great Liberty Bond response which kept Alaska well at the tor in those drives, the Territory will take and keeI its place in the forefront of the Presidents drive for shorter working hours and higher wages in order that employment may be spread and buying power raised commensurate with price levels.

Barber Shop Phoenix.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

After nearly two years in abeyance during which nostalgia sentimentalists have lived on memories and barber shop patrons less traditional maga- zine fare, and up-to- the-moment Police Gazette" is about to rise from the ashes of Am erica's most famous sporting feuilleton. The old Gazette enjoyed widespread heyday and bright longevity from the time when it taken by Richard K Fox until it's lamentable demise in 1882, but it's friends and partisans in it's decline indictment of its immoral attitude toward sin, and publications which gazed with more emphatic edi- torial disapproval combined with more graphic pie toria resources, upon the unconventional the violent and the romantic, superseded it in public esteem.
 The reappearance of the Gazette" upon news stands may merely be indicative of editorial enter prise and acumen, but some students of the human comedy, at least, will read into it's reappearance one indication of increasing taste for the eisurely the colorful and securely bourgeois insti tutions of a generation ago. Beer gardens, bicycling, roller skates thirty sidewalk cafes in New York alone, pillbox hats for and plaid suits for men all recall an era of horsecars, mustache cups, solvency and repose worthy of recapture.

IT SUITS WAGNER

Quite the reverse is true of an- other Senator who left a high place on the bench of his state to come to the Senate He is Bob Wagner of New York
 The story is told that Wagner left his position on the New York Supreme bench with some reluc- tance to run for the Senate.
 The Senate has given him an opportunity for service and con structive effort he has always wanted. German-born, he has gone about as high politically as it is possible for him to go. Thus, freed from disturbing influence which eligibility for Presidential or Vice-Presidential honors would have given him, he has been able to proceed unhampered with his ideas.
 Now he sees the law of the land enbodying many ideas in unem- ployment and relief similar to his own. Today he holds a position of real power in the Senate.

for his product in effect deprives him of
 portion of his property without due process
 of law.
 The legality of the situation may be
 questioned but there be no doubt that
 the gold miner is being done an injustice
 He suffers because of action avowedy
 taken to benefit the public and there should
 be no opposition to reciprocal action by the
 public to protect the miner to the full
 extent of his rights
 These are but two of many similar arguments advanced not only for the mining industry of California but for Alaskas and every other State and Territory in which gold mining is carried on It is certain that Mir Roosevelt will give his most earnest consideration to the matter, and that he will recognize the soundness of the arguments ad- vanced We are confident that a way will be found by him to give to the industry the relief it ought to have from the burden imposed on it by excluding it's product in the gold embargo order of last April

Dogs in the Bible.
(New York Woriu-T Telegram.) )

(New York Woriu-Ielegram)
 The American Spectator this month contains an article on Cats and Dogs" by B. M. Steigman, in which that writer evokes Holy Writ as founda- heart and unworthy of human companionship. Cats have all the virtues, dogs have all the vices. Says the writer:
 There is no mention in all the Bible of a single good trait attributed to the dog. The wise ancients the animal without
 sentimentaty or affection, and they wrote of his returning to his vomit, his fleas, his mango, his unspeakable habits.
 Biblical times the savage era for dogs. Dogs have since become civilized" Sanitation and human amenities of living have raised the dog from beast to pet and servant. l Even in these times in filthy places of habita- tion the dog may very likely be loathsome, full of fleas, skulking, snapping He is about as good as his surroundings. If the average surroundings were bad, they doubtless in Bible days, he would be less desirable pet and companion dog is as good his master makes him.

CALIFORNIA; GOLD MINERS APPEAL

On July 26, the San Francisco Chronicle car ried full page of signed statements from prominen mining executives and other leaders under the head ing, California Gold Miners Appeal to the Presi dent" It voiced the of the gold minin industry of the United States for an open marke on their product.
 Two of the statements-one by George w. Starr President of the Mining Association of California and P. R. Bradley, President of the Alaska Junea and other companies-are particularly worthy c perusal:
 MT Starr said:
 Because the development of the natural gold resources of these United States, due to past industrial circumstances, present eco- homie conditions, and future financial needs now offers the most certain and immediate source for the employment of labor the expansion of purchasing power, and the widest general demand for commodities of every kind in those States and Territories having natural gold resources and
 Because vast areas of our country, account of their often rugged and otherwise unproductve character, cannot be structively helped by any other industry, and finally,
 Because the existence of properties producing gold is threatened by the rapid rise in operating costs without any pro- vision having been made for a compensative increase in the price of gold,
 We respectfully call on behalf of the gold mining industry of these United States and Territories, the attention of President Roose- welt to this critical situation and urge his aid to enable what is the Forgotten Indus try" to its just importance
 Whereupon, the gold mining industry will continue creating and supplying through production of wealth, it's demands, and will expand to surely and soundly further the major purposes and aims of the Ad- ministraton.
 MT. Bradley summed up the for u industry briefly follows:
 Since the Executive order of April 20th last, the United States Government has paid the gold miner $2067 inflated dollars for each ounce of gold The embargo created under the Executive order has prevented the miner from receiving additional nine more or less inflated dollars for each ounce of his production.
 All current gold production is no part of the gold furnishing the basis for monetary circulation in the United States at the time of the Executive order That portion of the current output produced from patented min ing claims should be the claim owners legal property whether kept in the claims mined therefrom. The governmental restric- tion under the Executive order that pre- vents the miner from receiving full value

 He has shown no indication of a desire to return to the judic- ial life. Rather, he is happier now than ever before.
 However, Senator Bratton is a young man, much younger than Wagner.
 It is possible that before Pres ident Roosevelt's term is over he may have opportunity to name several members of the Supreme Court. And there are those who wouldn't be surprised to see Brat ton return to Washington some day as a Justice of the Nations Supreme Tribunal.
