SEATTLE MAN PLEASED WITH
 CARE AT WRANGELL HOSPITAL

Clayton Hutchinson was dis missed from the Bishop Rowe hos pital last Monday and took passage south on the Yukon the next morn ing He was a member of the crew on the Alaska and was stricken with a severe case of appendicitis at Ketchikan. He was opposed to being hospitalized in Alaska and hoped to get back to Seattle before an operation was necessary. His condition was so much worse when the boat arrived at Wrangell that he was taken to the hospital. Be- fore leaving for Seattle he told friends that he considered himself a lucky guy" under the cirmuc- stances, for he sincerely believed he could not have been given finer surgical and nursing care anywhere than he received here.

NO PLACE FOR BOYS

The board of liquor control has announced two changes in the li- quor regulations. One prohibits the granting of a wholesale or re- tail icense to common carriers in the Territory. The new ruling is aimed particularly at boats who take aboard cargoes of liquor in the states and make Alaska ports, ped ding from the ships, often under selling local wholesalers. The board felt it was unfair competition. Boat licenses for the dispensing of liquor aboard the ship, however, will continue to be granted.
 The second change sets the age limit as IS instead of 21 for per sons who may go into liquor dis pensary but sales must as before, not be made to anyone under 21 years of age. The change will per init young people over Is to go into pool halls, candy stores or such places conducted in conjunction with liquor dispensaries but they can not buy liquor unless they are 21.
 We feel that young fellows of Is should be allowed to play pool if they want to-" Frank A. Boyle, Secretary of the Board stated, but We ask the full cooperation of per sons operating these places to see that no liquor is sold to them"
 In making the change, according to the Juneau Empire, it was pointed out that there was virtually no places for boys to go for amuse- ment if they were barred from re- creation parlors.
 This seems a sad admission for any newspaper to have to make of it's home town. The reference to the recreation parlor" simply means beer parlor, which can be a harm less place,-and many establish ments are so conducted. Other places are far from harmless and constitute a serious menace to the character of a youth.
 We can't expect boys to be old men. They need physical activity and amusement and each communi- ty should make 1t matter of first concern to provide a place where they may find recreation outside of a beer dispensary.
 It is expecting too much to be- lieve that pool tables can be set up in back rooms of dispensaries and that the boys will play games without drinking when it is going on all around them. Even when proprietors are determined that the regulations shall be obeyed there will be difficulty in enforcement under such conditions.
 The least that a community can do for its youth Is to provide an attractive recreation center with a competent man as supervisor where boys may have gymnasium privileg- es, with pool and card tables and other amusements completely separ- ate from a drinking establishment.

The provisions of the law grant ing the benefits of the Public Health Service to seamen are em- braced in Title A, Sec. 1, US. Code, which reads as follows:
 The term 'seamen. wherever employed in legislation relating to the Public Health Service, shall be held to include any per son employed on board in the care, preservation, or navigation
 of any vessel, or in the service
 on board, of those engaged in such care, preservation, or navi- gation.'
 These provisions of the law have been construed to be limited to doc umented vessels, that is. to yes sels of five tons or over, and not to include fishermen who are nor necessarily or principally employed in the care, preservation, or naviga- tion of the vessel

The Interior Department Appro- priation Bill, making appropria- tions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 936, passed the senate Tuesday. As it passed the house the bill carried an appropriation of S40,000 for the continuation of the work of the Geological Survey in Alaska. This was raised to $l00, ,000 in the senate. probably due to the clear representation of the work of the Geological Survey that was made to the senate subcommittee by Dr. ". C. Mendenhall, director of the survey, and Delegate Dimond when they appeared before the sub committee April ?.
 If the item can survive the con- ference and remain in the bill when enacted it will mean an in crease in the field work of the Geo logical Survey of more than three times that which would be possible under the original appropriation.
 The present increase in the price of silver to seventy-four cents will be of advantage to the gold pro- duceT of Alaska.

This valuation was based on a price of thirty-fiye cents an ounce. which today would to more than twice that if gure, and this will be exceeded by far on account of the present in creased production of gold.

 we remember scarcely any Of 1t and make very little effort to do any original thinking. It seems evident that before nature gives us bigger brain we should roll up our mental sleeves and use the vast powers this eminent authority shows we already possess. 3. This is the contention of Dean William r. Russell of Teach- CTS College, Columbia. He sug- gests that such school could bo modelled on the plan of the Ecole Normal Superieure of Paris--a school for highly selected students with qualities of prospective lead- ership. He suggests new build- ing should be provided by Colum- bia for this purpose, called the School for. Advanced Education, although. he maintains the present faculty is competent to act as in- structors for this "educational elite" Seems tp me the succesA .sf democracy depends wholly upon our success in discovering and training leaders,

l. Pretty hard to set up a gen. eral rule to meet all cases. Dr Louis Bisch, consulting psycholo- gist of New York, argues she should frankly drop them or else escape them ali she can. I might add. however, that pretending to like people can be carried on more successfully and longer than per haps any other human enterprise. How else could politicians suc- ceed or international diplomacy be carried on? So, if there is no es- cape, and dropping them will cause more friction, you might try a bit of pretending, provided .t does not extend to downright hypocrisy.
