social life that we become insensitive to
the better promptings Of our nature is
to lose out of life that which gives color
and beauty to it. Children respond to
art and music above their elders because
their tender lives have been unspoiled
by too much contact with the world. 1t
was this doubtless that prompted the
Master to declare that fitness for the
kingdom of heaven was to be found in
child-likeneSS. He Of all men was the
supreme artist. All His mighty messages
are touched with color. His language is
graphic and pictorial. without a par

world about Him He drew his lessons.
Common and familiar things He used to
impart great truths. His appeal was to
the imagination. That which lay beyond
reason He interpreted through word pic
lures that had to do with flowers, birds,
fields Of grain and little children. 1t is
imagination beyond all else that governs
and inspires the artist. He sees things
that others do not see. He feels impulses
that others rarely experience. His hand
and eye and ear, as well as that of the
musician, responds to color values and
the concord of sweet sound" Such men

We cannot adequately understand
Christmas nor may we appropriate the
significance of its story without expert
encing the joy and satisfaction that come
from those who have made it live in pic
ture and song. Above all other seasons
and festivals Christmas is the most color
full, the most joyful, and it is intimately
associated with the most glowing and
appealing in music. Thus it is that the
fine arts find their chief inspiration in
the advent of Him who came to earth in

Belgium Plunged Into Mourning Beautiful
 Woman Endearedby All

BRUSSELS. Belgium, Aug. D. Glamorous memories of royal love- making mingled with sad recollec- tion of today's tragedy as the news as the Queens death was borne around the world.
 She was beloved in her own Sweden and in her adopted land, Belgium, as lovely girl who had taken place as housewife and Queen here.
 To a large part of the rest of the world, she was the royal sweet heart whose wedding had drawn multitudes of the worlds most glittering names.
 Before their marriage, the names of Prince of Wales and his un- married brothers swirled with those other princely and eligible bachelors in rumors which her impatient sub jects told and retold as they await ed the announcement of Princess i Astrid's engagement.
 She was good horsewoman and a beautiful dancer. She was ad- verse to pomp and display. and her dress was always simple. Tiny Belgium is plunged into the deepest grief The aging Phince Carl and Princess Ingeborg mour- fully chartered n plane to fly to Lucerne to join the stricken husband of their daughter Astrid. i Queen Astrids body will be brought here by special train leaving the south tonight.

MACHINE HITS TREE,
 BOTH THROWN OUT
Pitiful Scene Enacted Near Lake Tn Switzerland
 This Morning

LUCERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 29.-Queen Astrid of Belgium was killed in an auto accident near here this morning, and King Leopold, who was driving the car and apparently lost control, was slightly injured.
 The accident occurred while the King and Queen were driv- ing speedily on pleasant lake, side straight-away road near Kusenacht. The King was at the wheel and the Royal chauf- fcur was in q rear seat.
 The speed was between 50 and 55 miles an hour.
 Close behind the Royal car rode the Gentleman and Lady-in- Watt ing with their chauffeur.
 They said they thought they saw the King turn his head and look at the mountains bordering Lake "vier Waldstatter See" near Kus- snacht, nine miles east of here.
 Swerves off Road
 Suddenly, the, aut@ eoptasning the King, Qus5h' ariS chAuffesr, |swerved off the road onto rough ground Both the King and Queen were thrown out of the car. the Queens head striking tree. The blow fractured her skull.
 The car swerved into the lake. The Queen lay motionless. The King, his face smeared with blood, picked himself up and went to his wife's side.
 Implores for Word
 He gathered her into his arms, kissed her and implored her to speak.
 The Queen scarcely moved and it was impossible to tell whether she recognized her husband.
 Within five minutes the Queen died in his arms.
 The King strengthened her body and smoothed her clothes and Royal attendants covered the still form with their coats.

LUCERNE, Aug. 29.-A further investigation this forenoon at the scene of the accident in which Queen Astrid was killed, showed a large stone at the roadside may have been the cause.

Pilot Jerry Jones Tells of Gruelling Search Made
 for Missing Hines Plane

la VT t
 The intensive search for Arthur Hines, Fairbanks aviator, and his three passengers, MT. and Mrs. John Long and Alton c. Nordale, who have been missing since they left Dawson on August 19 in a plane piloted by Hines. has slacken- ed after a systematic examination of the area, in which Hines plane might have been grounded, failed to disclose any evidence of the missing plane. Rain and fog have closed down in some parts of the territory involved,
 Three planes remain on active search duty They are flown by Percy Hubbard, for many years Hines partner in the Service Air ways at Fairbanks; Murray Hall, Department of Commerce Aeronau- tic Inspector for Alaska, and Al Monson, PAA pilot, acting in re- sponse to instructions from Lyman s. Peck, General Manager of the PAA, to spare no expense and no effcrt commensurate with safety to locate the missing plane"
 Search Pilot Here
 Jerry Jones, PAA pilot, who ar- rived yesterday with Walter Hall at the controls of the PAA Lock- heed Electra from Fairbanks, piloted one of the search planes through out the organized hunt for Hines plane. Jones and Percy Hubbard began the search on Tuesday, Au- gust 20, the day after the Hines plane left Dawson. The following day, when more planes joined the search, Pilot Jones, who gained ex- perience in an air search in Cali fornia, suggesteda a plan which was put into effect.
 Organized Search
 The search planes first flew over all likely routes between Dawson and Fairbanks, then a large scale map procured and a section outlined overlapping the boundaries of the area in which it was thought the missing plane might be found. The section to be searched was divided into small cross sections and as- signed to the various planes. At the end of each days search each pilot marked on the map the track of the course flown by his plane that day showing the area covered. ~
 Most of the country in the search area is extremelys rugged and is sparsely inhabited. If the occupants of the missing plane landed unhurt It would possibly take them weeks 70 get to a radio station.
 Gruelling Flights
 Disregarding hazards the search planes took off each day with gas tanks filled to capacity for long hours of gruellirig flight. All of the territory beginning at Fairbanks and extending 50 miles beyond Daw- son. and from 3omiles north of the Yukon River to 50 miles south of the Panama River. an area of more than 65,00o square miles. was close ly scrutinized for clues.

CHAMBER HEARS DlMOND REPLY AS MAIL BLOW
Little Chance for PAA Contract After Sept. l-
 Duck Rules Protested

A possible death-knell to main tenance of Pacific Alaska Airways flying schedules for Southeast Alas ka after September was sounded at the luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this noon at Bailey's Cafe.
 While some Chamber members still hold hope that an airmail con- tract may be obtained for the PAA, thereby allowing that organization to rescind an economy closing or der effective next month, tele- gram received by M. s. Whittier, secretary of the Territorial Cham Der of Cimmerce, from Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond in Wash ington. D. C., indicated that there was little chance of such a con- tract being granted.
 The telegram, received today in reply to messages sent by both the Territorial and Juneau Chambers yesterday, was read at the luncheon meeting by Whittier. The message follows:
 No Appropriation
 Congress did not make any re- cent appropriation of $25,000 for air mail contracts. Congress recent ly passed bill authorizing the car- riage of all classes of mail by air in Alaska after advertising there for in accordance With law and further limited giving emergency service without advertising to $25, 900 per- year. but made no additional appropriation for any kind of ser vice. All here understand the value of the Juneau Fairbanks service, but no funds whatever have been appropriated or are available there for; nor can the same be obtained before the meeting of Congress in January"
 The opinion was expressed here generally that the proposed airmail contract for the Juneau -WhitehorSe Y. T., Fairbanks route of the PAA was an emergency" measure. Whit tier intimated, after the Chamber meeting, that he intended tele- graphing Delegate Dimond for more detailed explanation.
 The airmail situation developed when the New York office of the PAA ordered all Southeast Alaska schedules dropped on September l, with Lyman s. Peck, a PAA official, saying that an airmail contract on the Juneau Fairbanks run was need- ed, and that neither that route, nor the Southeast Alaska schedules could be maintained on only pas senger and express revenue.
 Ducks Discussed
 This prompted both Chamber groups to telegraph Delegate Di- mond The Juneau Chamber also sent messages appealing for help. to the Tacoma and Los Angeles Cham bers of Commerce.
 While today's luncheon was planned to honor the coming de- partures of pr. H. c. Devighne and William Kirk, another business de- tail crept into the meetings spot light. An angle to the migratory bird hunting situation developed when an exchange of ,telegrams between the Chamber and A. N Ding) Darling, head of the Bio- logical Survey, relative to Juneau's protest over hunting restrictions for this year, was read.
 The telegrams are self-explana- tory. The Juneau message to Dar- ling follows:
