The WhalebOat.
lNew York Herald TrlbuneD

It is something of a shock to be remndeo py
 The Vineyard Gazette" that the whaleboat-one of the nobles it was also one Of the most Deau- tiful achievements of the earlier American boat builders-is now so nearly extinct in the waters which produced it that ordinarily it can be seen only in museums" The old whaling ships them selves, it must be confessed though stout hearted enough, were rather squat and ungainly craft put
 their boats, carried outboard in the old-1ashloneo
 timber davits, were things of living grace and competence, well worthy of the museums in which
 they or accurate models of them, can now be
 found The whaleboat had to be competent; It had
 to have everything which can be asked of boat. It had to be fast and able under sail; it had to be light and clean enough to be driven by it's five oarsmen It had to be a good towing boat when the iron was in running whale, and it had to be first-rate sea boat since it lived and worked in the open
 The answer to these hard specifications
 long rather deep boat, with handsome sheer, fine bows and sharp stern, capable of rising easily In la following and permitting her to be handled with the steering oar which is better than rudder for offshort work Painted white with black gum vale the whaleboat was as beautiful as she was able. Her lines still preserved in the naval 'whaerS' carrier by the smaller ships of the Am erican and British naves; but there is seldom any need nowadays for the peculiar combination of Requirements which produced her though her in fuence be traced in all kinds of small boats
 for offshore work from doreS to the double ended lifeboatS of modern liner
 Even less is there need for her special and characteristic fittngs-the rounded notch cut out of
 the foremost thwart in which the harpooner braced his knee he rose to strike; the chock in the bows which took the smoking whale line as it led out of the line tubs around the snubbing post at the extreme after end and right down center line Iof the boat; the cleats holding the razor-sharp harpoons and lances ready at hand. Such things are all pieces along with the boat hersef-and is almost tempted pessimistically to add-the qualities of great physical strength, of skill and hardihood and willingness to accept heart breaking labor for small return which were demand ed of the who used them.

Equator to Arctic.
(Daily Olympian.)


 We thought had this country pretty well built up with roads, Yet the PWA, CWA and eco found plenty of opportunity to build enough roads to girdle the globe just in the last year.
 First. thought of roads from the point of view of the country. Then the State road was the model. Then the States road was built with Ma tional assistance. Then the great National highways, East and West North and South
 Now we begin to think of roads in terms of continents War Department engineers have found that the projected road from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska is feasible If put through, such road would lead to faster development of Alaska and closer relations with Canada, both much to be desired.
 Further it would connect eventually with the road now being pushed south from the Rio Grande. This Fall such all-weather road is expected to be completed from Laredo, Tex, to Mexico City. Later it is to be driven through to Central and South America.
 It will be a proud day for America when it has road on which it's people may drive from the Equator to the Arctic. No strategic highway such as bellicose counters fond of building but la broad highway of peace, linking with friendly tie the peaceful peoples of the Western world 1.

Japan's Demands.
Philadelphia Inquirer)

The intimation that the naval barley set for next year may have to be postponed because of the demands of Japan is less surprising than it would have been had the Japanese not been insist ing consistently on full equality with the Amer jeans and British. The reason is plain enough domination of the Pacific.
 The return of the American fleet to the Pacific is perfectly open disclosure of the American attitude. Japan may build to the limit of her financial capacity but the United States will never permit the Pacific to become Japanese lake. Neither for that matter will Great Britain. She has Australia to consider, well vast interests in China.
 That the British well as ourselves, should now wish to build up to full treaty strength is not surprising. There is no gesture of hostility to Japan in this any for disagreement be- tween Great Britain and the United States It is the ambition of Japan that is dangerous.

EARLY PATENTS SHOW MODERN
 TRAIN TREND.

Ar-conditioned and streamlined trains were con- ceived before the Civil War. Patent Office records show, according to the Associated Press that one inventor in 1855 took out patent on air cooling and still another in 1865 obtained lights on a streamlined car design. The first attempt to intro duce air-cooing is credited to J. H. Barry; of Philadelphia.
 In 1865 s. R. Cathorp, of Roxbury, Mass, took out papers to patent the streamlined car but it only within the last year that such designs have been put into practice The Associated Press quotes Charles L. Howard Assistant General Counsel for the Western Railroad Association as explaining the reason for the lapse of time.
 He explained it in this manner:
 Barry and Calthorp took out the first
 patents in their field and far ahead of their times. For many years following their days comfort and speed of travel were
 not the important things It only neces- sary that be moved from place to place without loss of life and limb Today it is different. We demand, in addition to safety, the utmost comfort and
 mile or two minute speed, and are
 getting it. Barry and Calthorp planted the seeds for air-conditoning and streamlining < sCT trains but it took the opportune mo-
 ment and skilled engineers to cultivate

. MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

The approaching Army Airplane Good Will Toul to Alaska is something more than mere training exercise for the ten big Martin bonbers and the men who fly them, say the authors of the Wash ington Merry Round column in article ap- bearing in various and sundry newspapers under date of June 26. So too probably have the Navy airplane expedition and the submarine cruise which are headed this way enroute to the Aleutian Islands
 The Merry Go founders size it up this way: The Army's flight of Martin bombers to
 Alaska has lot behind it than meets
 the naked eye.
 Alaska plus the Aleutan Islands is the
 focal point for either defense or attack in
 any war in the Pacific How rapidly and
 how safely American airplanes get to
 Alaska in such emergency is of vital
 importance
 What is known by few people is the
 Navy's survey of the Aleutian Islands west
 of Kodiak Bay two years ago To the gen.
 eral public the work done for the
 Coast and Geodetic Survey of the Com
 merce Department Actually the Navy want
 ed to find out what harbors were safe
 for airplane bases.
 Now the Army has launched another
 move which indicates that the military
 strategists not to be unprepared in the Pacific What Messrs. Pearson and Allen have put into type, other Washington correspondents are saying Pacific Ocean a Japanese lake and has already said she will at next years naval conference de- mand parity of sea forces with Great Britain and the United States. The interest of the Navy in the Aleutans for the past two years and the Army's plane expedition here may not be wholly unconnected with that and the eventualties that may grow out of the Japanese demands

Truths Pondered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother man
BY Mr.. MOdestus

BY Mr.. MOdestus
The logical end Of the famines has
at last been reached
For while, at least.
The world at large has learned how
to grow enough food.
In fact, it is now learning how not
to produce too much food.
That sounds illogical:
But the emergency can only be
temporary.
We are told that there will be
series of short years, soon.
A Cornell professor announces the
1888 grain production to be short.
| He says it is the lowest on record.
This year it was 1913 pounds per
capita.
| The next shortest year was 1884,
with 1,789 pounds per capita.
That includes the six principal
grains.
The yield per acre is also the low
est since 1901.
That year the average yield was
924 pounds.
In 1888 the average yield per acre
was 961 pounds.
! We have, however, lot of acres
under cultivation.
The hold-over crops of the world
give surplus
AS yet.
Uncle Sam is paying farmers this
coming year for not growing wheat.
He will pay % cents bushel on
Sd per cent of previous production
If they agree to reduce this years
crop by Is per cent.
The result is expected to be an in
crease in world price for wheat.
Money paid out on this will run
over 100 million.
Possible payments on similar pro-
gram for corn reduction
Iowa might get nearly 80 millions
for growing less corn;
Together with over AZ millions for
less hogs.
What would Joseph and Pharaoh
have said about such program?
Famines have largely been re-
gional.
In Egypt they came from failure
of the Nile waters.
Pharaoh is said to have anticipated
one such series Of bad years.
His remedy was storage.
But he knew it was coming.
Chinese famines were caused by
floods as we'll as droughts.
China had anciently marvellous
system of irrigation canals.
These have, partly, gone into de-
cay
Largely from disorganization of
central government.
Modern Asiatic famines are helped
greatly by railroads.
Surplus wheat from Columbia river
valley farms supply their shortages.
America produces all the wheat she
needs east Of the Rockies.
The 800 million bushels from west
of the Rockies are surplus.
But steam carries it out to the rest
of the world
And helps to create the world
flood,
Il Which the nations are quarreling
about.
| Nations of old fought to control
wheat sources.
Modern nations are ready to battle
over wheat markets.
Whether it is flood of wheat,
Or a famine on wheat
The nations seem to want to fight
about it, anyway.
Hitler, at least, is introducing
new note, into the battles.
Just now it sounds like new war
over religions.
'Ich und Gott" has given way to
another slogan:
Elm Deutsche Gott!"
