 "A native of California, Gen Russell has actively commanded at numerous stations since his appoint nient as Second Lieutenant in the Corps in 1894. His strategy earned him reputation diplomat and brought him repeated thanks from the highest officials of the American Government.
 Only Marine officer to hold such rank, Gen. Russell, in 1922, appointed American High Com missioner to Haiti with the title of Ambassador Extraordinary to represent the President of the United States in the republic He was designated to coordinate the work of officials functioning under the American treaty with the republic.
 Frank B. Kellogg former Secretary of State, described the Generals work as "a task of the most appalling magnitude" and eight years later when he was detached from the duty after read iusting the republics finances, education and econ omic structure, President Hoover and Henry L.. stimson. then Secretary of State praised his work highly
 Later when Liberia became embroiled in internal troubles a British high official suggested that "a General Russell be sent to Liberia"
 Of medium but rugged build, Gen. Russell, al though 62 years old is still able to boast powerful punch.
 Tennis is his favorite sport and he is fond of dogs prodigous reader and panner, he also is the author of numerous articles military history and planned an educational system for Haiti which was requested by the Egyptian Government for study as model for that country
 His Marine Corps headquarters office-now that of the Assistant of the Commandant-contains many old prints of ships and marines of former days. The collection of these prints is a hobby and at his home there is larger collection.

THE NEW 'cIvi''iIf CIVIL w WORKS POLICY.

The Civil Works program takes a lease on
 life with final Congressional approval of the measure approprating half billion dollars and extending the plan until May L But at the same time the Civil Works Administration announced the policy of reducing pay rolls gradually, that by May l, it will be feasible to abandon the program com pletely
 These are consistent steps. It politically necessary and socially desirable to continue the Civil Works scheme through the winter, but it was less desirable to insure that it snouid terminate at fixed time It important also that the volume of Civil Works employment should be tapered off so that it's final abolition could be achieved without undue hardship on individuals severe readjustment in the economic system. Current policies appear to insure these results.
 The most vital problem is not how to utilize Civil Works personnel, although that is important, but rather how to reabsorb this of workers into private industry agriculture At it's peak the Civil Works Administration has accounted for the employment of 100000 persons. It is unlikely that any conceivable expansion of business will automatically absorb great a number within three months. But wise policies calculated to ex- pand the pay rolls of industry take care of many Of these millions, and relief projects of local or Statewide character can be made to mitigate the hardship Of the remainder.

Annual Road Plans.
Anchorage I'imes0

Chiefs of the Alaska Road Commission are en- route to Juneau to sit in conference on plans for road building in various parts of the Territory for the year
 A few weeks from now the snows will be gone in the greater part of Alaska and the ground will begin thawing. Then twill come the period of road construction
 Under the several divisions of Government in which road work is done in the Territory, it is hoped the plans for road construction will be made with view of ultimately giving a complete and thorough network of roads throughout Alaska. The trunk line sections and the localities in which there is the greatest mining and other activity deserve first consideration. .f.t,. l,.,s,ss,
 By this token, the Anchorage area and its tributary sections deserve special attention The Third Division of Alaska is the greatest contributor of taxes in the Territory, and has but meager road mileage.
 The Anchorage area including the Matanuska, Willow Kenai Peninsula and other sections should be given generous aotments this year. The vast Kuskokwim the Iliamna regions some of the Vest ward islands and other sections should not be overlooked.
 Then there is the International Highway and the plan to create eventual hookup with this coastal region and all the Interior points, The road com mission and the high direction in Washington and in Juneau will make no mistake in seeing that the Territory receives large road allow ances this season and that Alaska, virtual empire, is given highways and local roads commensurate with the demands and spirit of the times
 No country thrive be developed to the maximum without roads-and the sooner they are provided for all parts of the Territory the quicker will the country develop it's maximum possibilities

'SELF-HELP'
PROGRAM
Exchange of Services by Idle
May Provide Livelihood
for Large Group

The National Capital may un-
dertake a project in which as
many as thousand unemployed
breadwinners will go to work in a
vast service exchange to gain their
livelihood in scrip, which will rep
resent hours of labor rather than
dollars.
For this scrip they may be able
to rent houses, buy their clothes
and food, and, if they do what is
now done in Richmond, Va, they
may be able to exchange an hours
work on the woodpile for a hair
cut; or woman may be able to
have her hair marcelled for an
hours work over the washtub.
U. S. Promises Funds
A score of District officials and
heads of civic organizations met

projects.
Mr.. Guild, who was introduced
by Mr.. Street as running one of
the best self-help schemes in the
country" outlined his scheme in
detail. He said:
"This self-help project is
really an exchange in which
about 600 families are partici.
pating. In the beginning each
participant invested about 40
hours of some kind of labor and
the Federal Government put up
what cash was needed"
Food, Rent Provided
"ThiS exchange now provides
food, fuel, and services, includ-
ing rent, to unemployed families
who will work for the things
they want.
"FOr instance, 40 hours labor
will rent a house. When there
is demand for clothing we can
make the clothing out of
material furnished us by the
Federal Government for so
many hours of work in our
wOOdpile or canning factory or
whatever is running at the
time"
