Name? Nome!

THE city of Nome in Alaska has the
L distinction of being the nearest
American town, Of any Importance, to
the Old world. 1t is less than $50
miles from the mainland of Asia.
Another distinction lies in the fact
that it was named by mistake. In the
early maps Of Alaska one cape which
juts out into the Boring sea was left
nameless. An official, to whom a draft
of one of these maps was submitted,
penciled beside it the query Name"
A copyist Transcribed that scrawled
question as "Nome" and the name
stuck. Eleven miles to the west a lit
tie settlement, called Anvil City, sprang
up. In the Autumn of 1898 gold was
discovered III one of the creeks inland
near this town. Then came the STAN
pede of 1899, Anvil City adopted the
name of the cape and became Nome.
In two years Nome was not only the
largest city In Alaska territory-2O,O00
inhabitants by the summer of 1900
but also the symbol of one of the great.
est gold rushes in history.

Twice Sworn In


TWO of our Presidents had the dis

in the same term. They were Ruther-

idge.
Hayes inauguration day, March 4,
1877, came on Sunday so the inaugu'
ration ceremonies were scheduled for
the following Monday. But because
tradition had established March as
the date for a President to take the
oath of Office, Hayes took it on Sun
day as a precaution against there
arising any question of the legality of
mis- taking it on March 5. He took
1t again the following day in the for
NAL inauguration ceremonies.
The story of how the oath Of Office
was administered to Calvin Coolidge
in the lamp-lit Vermont farm house of
his father, Col. John Coolidge, upon
receipt of the news of the death of
President Harding, is familiar one TO
all Americans. But it is not so well
known that a few days later a second
oath was administered to him in a
room in the Willard hotel in Washing
ton by A. A. Hoehling, a justice OF
the District of Columbia Supreme
court.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, then attorney
general, had questioned the validity of
the first oath administered to Coolidge
AS a justice of the peace, Colonel
Coolidge was a state officer and there
fore presumably had authority to
swear in state officials but not federal
officers. So Daugherty secretly ar
ranged the ceremony in the Willard

SPRINGS HERE
AGAIN! DOESN'T
IT FEEL GOOD?
Look at That Calendar on
the Wall for Proof,
Brother.

Step right up, brother, and take
a look. 1t doesn't cost a cent, and
it gives you grand feeling.
Take look at the calendar and
notice that today is Friday, March
20, the beginning of spring.
OF course, it all depends on who
you are and where and how you are
sitting as to what the season means.
For instance, to j. H. Arning-
ton, Federal meteorologis5, the date
means that at 1888 tbs afternoon
the sun will make a momentary
pause over the equator while travel
ing northward,- or that it is half
way between its lowest winter point
and highest summer point.
Days, Nights About Equal
Today also means to Mr.. Arming-
ton that days and nights practical
ly are equal all over the world, and
that If there are storms they are
equinoctial storms.
Mr.. Arlington explained that
spring ends and summer begins
when the sun reaches it's most
northerly point at 1922 p. m. July

$4,000 NEEDED
FOR SOUTHPORT
| BRIDGE REP AIR
Ancient Structure Unsafe
for Heavy Loads, Sur
veyor Says.

Marion County's longest bridge
Ihas so badly decayed that repairs
I would cost approximately $4,000 or
$4,000 to make it safe for all kinds
OF traffic, Herbert Bloemker, county
surveyor, said today.
1t is possible to place a hand be-
tween the rotten wood in the an
Choir timbers Of this bridge, located
at Southport.
Built in 1866, the structure is 486
feet long and is one of seven COW
cred bridges In the county. 1t 10
the only one which has three spans.
All the others have one.
The safety load limit of the bridge
is now restricted to two tons. It
should be able to carry at least 10,
Mr.. Bloemker said.
Is Important Link
The bridge is an important link
IN the Belt Highway now being
completed with WPA labor and con-
meets Brooklyn with indianapolis.
Mr.. Bloemker estimated the cost
of the new bridge at $2500OO. 1t
would require 100000 to bring the
county's bridge system to modern
standard, he said.
Marion County has never spent
more than $4,000 a year for bridge
maintenance, when in the last few
years $4,000 at least should have
been spent the surveyor said.
Some of the concrete bridges are
actually crumbling away" he said.
For instance, it is possible to stand
on the bridge over Indian Greek.
one-half mile south of Sunnyside,
9nd watch piece after piece drop
away after cold night"
Timbers Require Support
| The Southport bridge has been
supported with concrete pilings since
the flood of 1913, but through the
kyears the timbers have rotted so
Ebadly that one part of the bridge is
about nine inches lower than the
proper level. This section has been
h temporarily raised with a SMALL
piece of lumber.
Mr. Bloemker, asked to comment
on this situation, said:
THE safety of human life should
be paramount to the taxpayer. Stop
lights should be no more important
than bridge maintenance. 1t is
false economy when money for pub
lie works is lowered SO that repairs
are impossible.
From this standpoint, bridges
should be kept in repair. The South
port bridge presents an unique
problem because the construction
of covered bridges has become al
most lost art, Most OF the arti-
sans who worked OH these bridges
are now dead
The only value covered bridges
now have over modern types is his,
torical, the surveyor indicated. He
recommended that they be replaced
as soon as possible.

LYNCHING
PAMPHLET

ATLANTA, Ca. -Forty-one per
cent of the eighty-four persons
lynched in the last five years were
either unaccused Of crime or else
charged only with MINOR offenses,
according to a report made public
today By the Commission on Inter-
racial Cooperation, summarizing
the results of a careful study of
all the lynchings of that period.
Appearing as a twenty-four page
pamphlet, entitled "The Mob Still
Rides" and citing numerous illus
trative cases. the report states fur
Their that of the other fifty-nine
per cent of mob victims, many of
them were innocent of the crimes
with which they were charged
Only Jne-fourth of the victims
were accused of actual or attempt
ed assaults upon women, common
ly thought of as the chief cause of
lynchings, and in a number of the
cases the Commissions investiga-
tors could find no convincing evil
dence of guilt.
Officers sometimes connive at
lynchings or even participate in
them. courts rarely indict lynchers
and more rarely convict, and mobs
sometimes so dominate the courts
as to bring about legal lynching."
according to the report. On the
other hand, a number of cases are
cited in which officers successfully
resisted or outwftted mobs.
Though the number Of lynchings
has declined from yearly aver
age of 124 thirty-five years ago to
an average of II for the last ten
years, the study reveals that the
lynching habit fades more slowly
from the South than from other
sections of the country and be-
comes increasingly racial pheno-
menon.
Among the remedies suggested
by the report are more adequate
police service, stronger jails. lift
ing of community levels in lynch
ing areas, change of venue in the
trial of lynchers and Of persons
threatened by mob violence, and
the building of a better public OPP
