DETROIT INVITES
B0RAH TO SPEAK
Couzens' Home Town Asks
Rival in G. O. P. Row to
Speak on Politics.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associate ed Press.
An invitation to speak in Detroit,
home town of Senator CouzenS. was
exhibited yesterday by Senator Borah
as part answer to CouZenS' singing
comment that he didn't understand
why any one took the Idaho Senator
Seriously"
Borah also showed invitations from
other Young Republican organiza-
tions and many kilograms commend
ing his demand for reorganization
of the Republican party. This de-
mand led to the now much-publicized
exchange with Couzens and Henry P.
Fletcher, chairman of the Republican
National Committee.
The Michigan Senator apparently
was in a more genial mood than on
Tuesday when he said Borah had
done nothing but talk for 40 years. y
Told of the invitation TO the Ida
hoan to speak in Detroit, he said: Il
hope he goes up and pans me-"
Borah Sits Alone.
The two Senators. once so close
that Couzens offered to finance a
Borah- for President campaign, met in
the Senate Office Building restaurant
during the lunch hour. They smiled
and spoke to each other, but sat
down at adjoining tables Couzens
joined Senators McNary of Oregon,
the floor leader, and Davis of Penn
sylvania, and Borah elected to sit
alone.
McNary has not entered the intra-
party controversy. but it was evident
he had started efforts at conciliating
the sword crossing Republicans.
Democrats Comment.

toying the sQuabble from the side

The telegram inviting Borah 20
speak in Detroit December Is was
signed by Cash Asher, secretary, and
Don Wolfe, chairman, of the New
Republican League.
Borah has not decided whether he
can fill the engagement. as he already
has accepted an invitation to speak

 The children in the 9rd grade modelled diminutive figures from clay to make an interesting repro duction of the scene of the first Thanksgiving. The Mayflower was at anchor in the harbor. the long table at which the pilgrims were seated was laden with food, and nearby were bonfires over which food was cooking. There were log cabins and a number of Indian tepees standing in the forest near the settlement. The second grade made a crayola frieze of the first Thanksgiving.

SECOND AND THIRD GRADES

The second and third grades have just completed a short unit of work on clothing and the materials from which it is produced. They compiled book entitled "The Book of Clothing" Each child in the room had a part in the making of the book, in which was contained a picture of a boy and a girl dressed in typical fashion. Also included in the book was a collection composed of samples of fabrics: some spun wool, unspun wool, woven wool and cotton. From an old geography they collected pictures of the processes necessary in obtaining the materi als of clothing.
 Another short unit of work was that of the study of the Early Pio neer Life in America. The work was conducted as a research problem and included a study of their homes, how built, furnished, light ed and heated, as well as clothing and how it was obtained.
 The children wrote letters to Mary Baker. telling her that the plant which she left them when she went away had bloomed and looked very nice. They also told her about the projects that were going on in school.

FLOTATI0N METHOD REC0vERS
 GOLD RLY WASTED

For years the stamp-mill tailings from the various gold milling plants in the Fairbanks district have been allowed to go to waste. With the increased price of gold these tailing losses become too inn portant to neglect. Early this year. Dean Patty of the Alaska Col lege and School of Mines at Fair banks. conducted tests on these tailings and found that by passing them through a Notation machine 1t was possible to recover half of the gold remaining, according to a statement in the Farthest North Collegian.
 The recovery was secured with out finer grinding of the material. Upon the recommendation of Dean Patty, flotation equipment was purchased by the Cleary Hill Mine on Cleary Hill and the Hi Yu Mine on Fairbanks creek. Each mine pur- chased two cell Faghren machines which were installed by L. E. Tucker, metallurgist, and are now in successful operation.
 This season is the first time flo- tation has been attempted in the Fairbanks district, and Dean Patty is of the opinion that the process could be adopted with success in other mills. Such installation would result in the recovery of thousands of dollars of gold each year which 1 otherwise would be lost, he be- lieves.

SCHOOL SPIRIT

Have we such a thing in this school? I doubt it very much. A few of the older pupils have said we "used to do" this, or we used to do'' that. Why not now? I'll tell you why, so put on your specs" and get an eyeful.
 There are in this school a few smart alecs' who greatly influ- ence some of the rest of the pupils. When anyone wants to put on an affair or perhaps suggests a party they immediately ridicule him or her. Why, we don't even have a student body any more. The reason for this is doubtless, because of the last one we had in 1883. The pu- pills that suggested different items in that meeting were ridiculed by the smart alecs." They, of course, influenced h eir sheep" and nothing was done. Then there was the war" between classes and the continual groan of what shall we do at a meeting" and whats the use of having one?" The bright students that ask that may as well curl up and die because the world doesn't want that kind of people. Whats the use of living if you don't want to do anything? There isn't any use.
 So, come on, classmates, and dig up a little energy to help with the spirit of our school. Show a little respect for your teachers and IT. guarantee you won't regret it.
