MONEY FOR ROADS.

Good news comes from the national capital to the effect that the advisory group public projects has included among recommendations to the Presi- dent money for Alaska road projects, which is tantamount to official approval
 While the first allotment provides for only two undertakings, both in the Matanuska it points to early designation of further funds for the Territory to carry out many programs that have been out lined by the various departments and being held in abeyance pending word that they have been approved and the amounts that be expected in executing them. It is virtually assured that most of this planned public works for Alaska will go forth but time is pressing due to the short season. thus the information that the first recommendations for roads is especially welcoming news to those in the Territory.
 Seasonal work and PWA projects have been taking up considerable of the unemployment slack the last month but there still many who must look to the Territory for support AS the works relief funds along these, too will find employ ment It is reported that at Anchorage there are about l50 men direct relief but it is prob able the road work may be able to take care of a share of them.
 1.-The picture in Alaska is definitely better, ano it will continue to grow brighter work starts or the new public works programs

EXCHANGING TEACHERS.

Exchange of two teachers with Newport News, Va for a year is announced by Juneau High School authorities, a plan which has been in vogue in the States for time in colleges and universities An interesting angle of the trade is that the Eastern teachers have been farther West than Chicago and the Juneau young women have not been East of the Rockies
 It sounds like good plan Not only is in a fine education for the instructors themselves in that it better equps them for their profession but it probably will prove stimulating to the general cause of learning Teachers from afar have knowledge to mpart their pupils aside from the routine classes The result is a broader field of instruction and education.
 Ketchikan is trying similar plan, exchanging with Hawaii and it is probable that other schools will try it out as the custom proves it's worth Drawn closer together as through improved con- munication and transportation it follows logically that we should know more about each other Teach CTS can spread this knowledge other class profession.

The Railroads Wake Up.
tKansas City Times.)

In 1921 every person in the United States trav- eled average 440 miles a year on railroad trains. In 1883 this average distance had declined to 130 miles. Concidentally railroad passenger earnings fell off about billion dollars year
 Methods now being adopted by the railroads to regain part of this lost business discussed in the May Atlantic by Ralph Budd, President of the Burlington Lines The discussion is based largely on the Burlngton's experience with the streamlne Zephyr operating between Kansas City, Omaha and Lincoln The run from Kansas City to Omaha with ten stops is made at 50 miles an hour
 The Zephyr, with diesel oil motor has reduced the operating cost from 65 cents mile to 34 cents Traffic has greatly increased Passenger revenue has than doubled.
 Other roads, the Union Pacific and New Haven are using diesel motor trains. The New York Gen. tral is streamlining steam locomotives The Penn syvania is doing the same to electric trains The Baltimore and Ohio is preparing to experiment with both diesel and steam streamlining while the Milwaukee is about to put in service a streamlne steam locomotive capable of doing 120 miles an hour
 What with air conditioning. new motive power and higher speed, the railroads are waking up

At long last the powers in Honolulu that keep high spirits within bounds have bowed to the inevitable and have done justice to a Hawaiian institution that is fully distinctive and renowned as the hula, the ukuele, the lei, poi barbecuea dog and the surfboard. For the first time in his tory they have licensed, and thereby legalzed the manufacture sale and consumption of that danger solisly uplifting beverage, okole hao
 In those early days when the first missionaries to the Sandwich Islands were putting Mother Hub hard wrappers on the grass-skirted matronS and dsmses and founding the fortunes Of the present sugar and pineapple aristocracy; when the only worldly minded whites to come within the barrier reefs were the crews of whalers wntering between seasons in Boring Sea, who confined their deyiltres to the foreshore in one or two ports the natives of the Hawaiian group blissfully ignorant of the arts of fermentation and distillation How they invented and persisted in the hula in this state

COUNCIL ASSISTS
LOCAL SOCIETIES
Charity Something More
Than CatCh=WOrd For
Local K. Of G.

The principle of charity has all
ways been something dearer to
members Of Sheridan Council than
a Understanding catch-word to be
emphasized in ritualistic work. For
many years Sheridan Council has
sponsored an annual Christmas
fund and through the financial as
sistance OF the more fortunate
brethren have aided the less for
tunate. A few years ago thanks 10
a larger membership the council
also assisted other local organiza-
lions, the cueen's Daughters on one
especial occasion and st Mary's
Day Nursery on another. It cooper
ated to such an extent that over
$500 was realized ii one tight and
given to the Queens Daughters.
When Ireland was feeling the eff
fects Of the ruthless persecution of
the '.black and tans'' and the White
Gross became q symbol Of help to
distressed women and children,
Sheridan Council also was in the
vanguard Of helpers. On one occa-
sion 1t contributed the sum of $500
to aid the innocent, defenseless vic
Tins Of England's hired assassins.
The knights have even greater
possibilities to-day to be Of as
sistance. waterbury has several
needy societies, which need help
and which are deserving of our aid.
With the return Of better times it
is to be hoped that Sheridan Cour-
Gil will remain alert to its POSSIBLE
tiles to practice as well as inculcate
the principle of CHARITY"

points before Askov scored. Finlay-

was Askov's by wide margin. The
third quarter was about a tie since
both teams made only two points In
