A Glamorous, Wistful Figure.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 As meodramatc in the of his death as he colorful in life Colonel T. E. Lawrence stands out of the truly unique personalities of our time. In age when life seems than ever to be molding men in common cast, and polishing them to a uniform pattern, "Lawrance of Arabia" went his own extraordinary way, undis turbed by any thoughts of what the world might want him to be do And if any young man protest that romance is gone from this mechanized world, let him read the story of T. E. Lawrence geographer linguist military strategst King-maker diplomat author
 To brilliant mind Lawrence added certain reckless courage and unfailing tact Fate in the form of a knowledge of Arabic, took him into a theatre of in which courage and daring still paramount over the machine and sheer man power. While being waged with scientific precision the Western front, Lawrence organized unaided the revolt in the desert of which he wrote so wildly As a substantial contribution to the Allied cause, and brilliant exploit in itself, Lawrences career in Arabia made him one of the towering figures of the great struggle
 Doubtless his blunt rejection of the honors men and governments sought to confer him is to be traced not much to his modesty, which con- siderable, to his chagrin at the failure of the British Government to deal fairly with the Arabs. His heart with them, for they had fought well in the hope of achieving ethnic unity and political independence. In recent years Colonel Lawrence showed many indications of resuming an active public career, not politician, but regener- atng force among English youth. Having all the eccentricites of genius his future wholly un- predictable But there is no doubt that Colonel Lawrence, had he not met death on quiet English highway would have written several more fantastic and brilliant chapters in a career always destined to glow brightly from the unsteady flame of genius within.

CALIFORNIANS HEAR TALK ON ALASKA BY
 ERNEST ". SAWYER

In talk on Alaska given in Long Beach, California, in connec- tion with the national observance of Foreign Trade, Ernest Walker Sawyer, Of Los Angeles and former ly of Alaska, gave many true and enlightening facts regarding the Territory.
 Dispelling the idea that Alaska is land of ice. snow and hard ships as it is described in so many books and articles and shown in many motion pictures, MT. Sawyer painted instead a true picture of the Territory as land of natural resources and flowers, m era wealth and vast miles only sparse ly inhabited as yet.
 He described graphically the great distances and the climate which, he said, is no more Arctic than Norway, Sweden, Finland or many other lands which have much larger populations and predicted that, in tipe, Alaska too will have millions instead of thousands living within

Wages on the Works Program.
CKansas City Times)

Flexibility is the obvious feature of the work relief wage scales fixed by executive order of the President The fexbility is threefold It per- tains to the four regions into which the country has been divided; to the four types of labor unsklled intermediate skilled and professional that have been recognized, and to the numerous exceptions that may be made to the wage scales as set.
 It appears that the principle originally laid down by the Administration to works program wages s in general to be followed The principle is that the pay of these workers taken from relief rolls in the great majority of instances shall be substantially above direct relief dole allowances, but shall not be high enough to make the public employment petitive with the wages paid in private industry. It suggested that the average works project wage should be $50 a month As now fixed the wage scale would range from a minimum of S19 for unskied labor in a group of Southern States to maximum of S94 for professional or technical labor in a group of Northern States extending from coast to coast
 Presumably, it has been the differences in living costs in the efficiency of labor and in private prevailing rates of pay that have determined the wage scales now announced This is evident desire to avoid the mistake made with the CWA when wages paid in various parts of the country were seriously disturbing to private employment
 But numerous exceptions to the wage schedules have been listed. They include the CCC which would continue with it's pay of $50 month and living expenses of workers; the PWA projects on which pay would be determined in accordance with local prevailing wages highway and grade crossing work which a similar principle would apply public buildings, on which the prevailing wages are required by statute; administrative employees and workrelief projects not yet transferred to the new program
 It is plain, therefore, that in spite of such gen. eral regulations as have been drawn the whole matter of works program pay will simmer down to problem of administrative adjustment It will be necessary to take into account not only such differences has have been noted but the varying needs of workers as related to family responsibility dependents. That in accord with the principle of flexibility

NRA DID NOT LIVE IN VAIN.

Just what may follow as the enforcement pro- vision of the NRA is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court is matter of conjecture. Some feel that the Congress may enact substitute car- rying the principles and eliminating those features which the highest tribunal rules invalid. It is possible, though the time is short before the expiration of MIRA June l6, unless extended and it appears futile 10 extend unless changes made. But while uncertainty surrounds the future of the Recovery Act for the time being the meritorious angles of the legislation being clearly reflected
 Harasseo from many quarters the Blue Eagle has had rather hectic existence and to hear some of the charges it would have appeared the quicker it thrown out the better However that it has been made mposent by the Supreme Court the first to rally in behalf Of movement to keep it in force voluntary measure are the business and industrial leaders of the country. It is evident that despite the innumerable protests which were lodged against MIRA legitimate business knew it was a life saver when needed. They felt it had draw backs that should be rectified, but it is plain now that they did not want it eliminated and going to endeavor to keep it's major practices in force just through good business ethics if nothing else
 Call already has been issued by the outstanding industrial leaders of the country to unite in retain ing the hour and wage standards for employees which the Blue Eagle set up, and they can join into. an effective force to keep business fair basis They can. if they continue a solid force ban the "cliseler" just he brought to time under NRA enforcement. Business knows for it's own survival 1t must retain the fair standards, and if it carries with the high purpose the Blue Eagle will not have lived in vain, no matter what governmental action may follow.

A FITTING HONOR.

There is no honor like honor among ones friends and associates, Fame and recognition may come from afar but when tribute is paid by ones own people and fellow citizens the most satisfying or human goals has been achieved.
 It is such fine tribute that has been paid to Judge James Wckersham, true and distinguished Alaskan, by the University of Alaska, the instltu- tion which he instrumental in founding and to which he has devoted much of his time It is fitting indeed that his school should present him with honorary degree in law.
 Judge Wickersham when a Delegate to Con gross from Alaska in 1915, introduced bill creating the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines the name cf which changed this year to the University of Alaska. It he who laid the cornerstone for the first building on the campus at Fairbanks, and through the years he has been one Of the schools best and most loyal friends. During those eight years Judge in the Fourth Division and his years as Delegate to Congress, Judge Wickersham always carried forward the cause of the College and since he has retired from public life his efforts have been directed in its behalf.
 Residents of the Territory join in extending con- gratulations as his college confers upon him the honorary degree of law.

Fifteen tons of dynamite on a barge moored in Seattle harbor. and destined for Russia, exploded early this morning. The explosion was so great that hardly a buildina from West Seattle to Capitol Hill was without broken or cracked win dows. Nearly all of the plate glass windows in the downtown district between Fifth Avenue and Elliott Bay were destroyed, this damage exceeding $100,O0O. It took police and fire departments 45 minutes to locate what had happened It was thought that Germans, learning of the proposed destination of the dynamite, had committed the deed

the different forms of static,
even the very faint, but also
the direction from which each
came.
Working in his little labora-
tory, sweeping the heavens with
his curious array of wires, he
gradually became familiar with
the "static language" He &C
quired the ability to recognize
the various static dialects"
Among the more familiar is
one which sounds like bacon
frying; the rackling kind
which strikes suddenly and
tapers off; the clicking kind,
which clicks more or less
steadily, and the Kissing va
riety.
Each has a different wave
length. Long waves bring in
one assortment, and the short
waves another.
To make comparisons, this
inquisitive gentleman used a
dictaphone, inviting each form
of static to record it's language
on a wax cylinder.
DAILY SHIFT
AS his familiarity with the
different sounds increased, and
as he came to know the wave
lengths on which they travelled,
and also the direction in which
each was strongest, he became
conscious of a certain sound in
the hiss group.
1t seemed to thrust itself
upon him more than the others,
drawing his close attention.
The soft hiss was always
strongest when his antenna was
pointed in certain direction.
Further, it was carried on a
wave of 14.6 meters, which is
20,600 kilocycleS.
After "Sleuthing" the sound a
few weeks, he discovered that
the direction in which it was
strongest shifted daily.
AS the weeks went on, he no
ticed that this shift was con-
sistent. At first he attributed
this to the suns changing posi-
ton each day.
But, as the months passed, he
discovered that the direction
gained upon the sun.
Looking back over his rec
ords he saw that his gain had
been uniform from the begin
ming, and that it amounted to
four minutes a day.
