ALL-ALASKA REVIEW

face frost exists, which it is ex- pected will not hinder the dredge.
 Gus Malm. one of the pictur- esque characters of the Nome gold rush days, died at Nome recently. Death was apparently due to old age, as during the past few years or so he had become very feeble and during the last few months had not moved from his house. The Igloo No. 1, of the Pioneers of Alaska were in attendance at the funeral services. Gus Malm came to Nome in 1900. aboard the same boat on which T. A MacAlone was passenger. He has remained around Nome since then, never having gone back to the States. He was born about December 3, 1859. in. Landskrona, Sweden. Leaving home when about 12 years of age he travelled all over the earth was seafaring man until he came to Nome. As far as can be ascertain ed. he has no living relatives or dependents. Known affectionately to every Nomeite and sourdough in that section, the passing of Gus Malm seems to bring to mind that very few of the oldtime sourdoughs are still alive.

She is Mrs. Elizabeth Bass of Chicago

narcotics chief for Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin by President Roosevelt last

for which men only were eligible.
Today she looked back upon her rec

had obtained 432 convictions often by
appearing in court trials herself after
accompanying her agents on raids. She
said she has come to the belief that
maximum sentences are the best cures

Some of my associates feared at first
that, being woman, would get senti-
mental over addicts, especially the
women" she said. But, of course,
don't"
Her present post is not the first time
Mrs Bass has blaZed the trail for
women. She was the first woman to
become a national committeeman and
was the first to preside at a national
party convention. That was in 1920

FOR BROADCASTING LIQUOR ADS

with respect to broadcasting also has
arisen in consideration of a policy,
legal authorities remarking that a strict
intrastate advertising is impossible from
every practical viewpoint and thus such
advertising must be considered inter-

The opinion is that the problem is
both a State and Federal one. The
Federal Government is involved because
of the interstate feature Of the ques-
ton and the Federal licensing powers
The States are involved because
broadcasting of liquor advertising would
be considered breach of the law Of a
