INCREASE IN PRICE OF BREAD

Average bread prices have gone up 5 per cent in the last two years, and on August IT. 1887. the average cost was S9 cents a loaf, the high est in seven years, according to D. E. Montgomery, Consumers Counsel for the Agricultural Adjustment Ad- ministration. The findings are based on a study of bread prices in fifty-one cities.
 The increased labor costs during the period appear to account for only 212 per cent rise Wholesale prices of white bread ingredients have actually gone down in the past two years. except for a few months during the summer of 1886, and cities to tender good will greetings and to present Matanuska potatoes and Alaska souvenirs to the mayor and secretary of the chamber of commerce at each place.

In a message. to ali Red Gross Chapters in the Pacific Area, as well as elsewhere throughout the nation. Admiral Cary T. Grayson. National Red Cross chairman. Washington, D. C.. re-emphasizes that all Amer ican Red Cross units are authorized to accept voluntary contributions of funds for relief work in China.
 Supplementing cash gifts received through Red Cross Chapters with an appropriation of $100.000 from it's national funds, the American Red Cross has thus far made available $163.O0O for all types of relief in China. including medical supplies and equipment
 In response to a number of re- quests from Pacific Coast cities and elsewhere. Admiral Grayson says that the Red Cross finds the eollac- tion of used clothing for distribu- tion in China is not a feasible relief project He says that the Red Cross has carefully canvassed the situation in China and that difficulties. such us the suitability of articles offered and the expense of cleaning, packing transporting and distributing make the shipment of miscellaneous sap- plies and used clothing impracti- cable.

Truck Blazes Trail With Heavy
 Load Of Alaska Grown Products

Following the return of the Dodge good will trail blazing truck which made the trip from Alaska to New York, certain travel informa- ton was secured that is of keen in- terest to the entire motor transpor- tation world The trip was carried on under the direction of Joseph D. Burke, director of truck sales for the Dodge Division of Chrysler Cor pOration. This is the first time that certain phases of the journey have been revealed.
 Distance recorded by the truck up- on arriving at New York was 4,621 miles. The trip was made in the in- terests of good will and commerce and to focus attention upon the need for the proposed International High way between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Seattle, Wash, passing through the Yukon Territory and British Colum- bia.
 Temperature along the route be- tween Alaska and New York never reached the freezing point. It varied from 58 degrees at Ketchikan to Il near Kespiox, B. C., and again hit a new high of 70 at Washington D. c. -.
 No Effort For Record
 Certain phases of the trip set pre- cedent in motor truck transports ton, although no effort was made to establish any kind of a record.
 It is believed that the fact that the truck was driven in less than 100 driving hours across this coun- try from Seattle to New York is at least equal to any time ever made for such a distance by a standard one and one-half ton truck carrying more than four tons most all the way. Gradually the load frightened along the route, by the delivery oi single bushels of Matanuska pota- toes to certain persons, but never the less the pay load at New York was more than three and a half tons
 True Test
 Another unusual feature was that the trip was made at the beginning of winter instead Of the middle ol summer, thus ignoring the easiest conditions possible for such a ven ture. A true test was desired and it proved to be that in more thar one respect. Possible danger Of 8 sudden drop of temperature threat ened to freeze the potatoes before preventative measures could be ef fected and packing them in straw was the only means of protection against extreme cold.
 The fact that the truck travelled on the right of way of the Canadian National across part of North Am erica country where a motor vehicle never before had been, was a pre- cedent set on the trip.
 That a truck load of Matanuskf
The Wrangell sentinel., 1937-12-17

potatoes was brought to the United States was another unusual ocCur- renee This was the first time that the product was ever seen in such a quantity in this country.
 One Driver
 Inasmuch as the driver, Al Radero never had a minute of relief from behind the steering wheel during the entire journey, this did not estab- fish a record of any type, but many regard it as a severe test of endur- ance.
 That the truck trayeled more than ,6O0 miles between two points in North America is another uncom- mon aspect of the trip. Other long trips have been made but never. il is believed, over such long distance between two cities.
 Alaska Cabbage
 The appearance of Alaska cabbage m the United States also was a rare occurrence. The 30 Alaska alder trees brought in the truck was an other source of interest to many people
 Upon leaving ketchikan, a steady downpour of rain accompanied the departure of the truck which was driven to a point where it was plac- ed on a boat and ferried across Dix on Entrance to Prince Rupert, B. C.
 For a short distance the truck ran upon the railroad right of way by special permission or the Canadian National Railways. Next, it reached road which had been saturated by more than two weeks of rain, and inasmuch as the base soil was clay, loam and some gravel, travelling was difficult for more than 250 miles. Short and long grades caused a great deal of gear shifting and where clay and mud was encoun- tered in long strips there were times when traction was almost impos- sible.
 During this part of the trip rain fell steadily In the lowlands thick fog made visibility so bad tat ire quently the road ahead could not be discerned more than 75 yards. Much of the difficulty encountered was due to the fact that the truck and it's pay load weighed approximately Height tons. A lighter load could have been hauled across this section oi British Columbia with greater ease

Road Slides

It was in Fraser canyon that the truck encountered across the road a slide which had just caused thous- ands of tons of rocks and dirt to be hurled into the valley. Driving dir ectly up to the slide it was dis covered that maintenance crews had already started work upon it and af- ter a brief consultation with work CTS the truck was driven at slow speed across the large hillock of rocks on the road which had been created by the slide.
 With this as a last obstacle, the truck continued at a fair speed the remainder of the distance to Seattle on a wide improved highway that passed through beautiful wild and rugged scenic regions
 The truck continued on it's way to New York, stopping in principal

after darkness and for five hours the truck was driven through this storm at the rate of not more than ten to fifteen miles an hour Suddenly the snow stopped and rain fell for a short period; then the sky suddenly be- came clear and road conditions were much better. except for the fact that the truck entered a district which had just been swept by a high wind which left fallen trees across the patch
 When Che truck approached Prince George the road was dry and fast After an all-night stop there it took to the Cariboo Trail which goes directly south through British Col umbia. Again the heavy load re- duced it's speed because the Cariboo Trail has numerous sharp curves and long grades. Between Prince George and QuesneI a variety Of country was passed through including high level table lands that were interrupted by mountains and deep valleys.
 From Quesnel to 15O Mile House. a distance of approximately 65 miles the road is much wider and the grades. less steep. Rolling mountain ous country was encountered be- tween 15O Mile House and loo Mlle House. but a few miles farther south the truck again ran through a country of table lands, mountains and valleys. Just a few miles north Iof Clinton fairly level roads were travelled and after an all-night stop there the trip was continued and the truck soon came to the noun tainous district known as Fraser canyon. The road through Fraser canyon is one of the most spectac- ular scenic wonders in North Ameri- ca Much of it is cut through solid rock along lodges which overlook chasms so deep that many spots re- semble certain sections of the Grand Canyon in Arizona

Need for New Standards
OF Intellectual Honesty

10 the Editor OF Inc StaT.
However much this country may have
needed a good Scent cigar or a great
poem, what it needs just now is fire
side course in American history gar
niShed with some good old-fashioned
logic. Not since the days of the Greek
Sophists has a quick -witted people been
seduced by so many false analogies from
so many things that are not SO. The
memory of that Supreme Court debate
would make Macaulay's schoolboy, if
alive today, turn crimson to his toes.
We have never been very learned or
very logical, but our modest equipment
has hitherto seemed roughly adequate
1t is adequate no longer. The bewilder-
ing complexities of swiftly changing
world make new demands upon our
collective judgment which we cannot
meet without new standards of intellec-
tual honesty and disinterested service
The sense of this comes sharply home
to us as our problems include the harsh
realities of a world at war. Now if
ever, must be know the truth stripped
of all wishful thinking. Neither pride
nor prejudice must blind us to the folly
or the wisdom of our not always glori-
Gus past. At all costs we must UNDER
stand precisely what we did and why
and whether the same compulsions of
circumstance and human nature would
make us do it again.
Light-hearted opportuniSts and die

fected. The direct losses fall upon the
property owners of the county, but there
are other losses that are borne by the
users of the roads that are thus OCCASION
ally flooded and rendered impossible. A
system of dikes is required to effect COR
rection and these must be supplemented
by the enlargement of the channel which
alone can relieve the flood pressure.
Mere inconvenience in the matter of
the use of the highways that are thus
subject to these recurrent floods is, of
course, not to be rated as among the
major results of this condition. But in
convenience. repeated season after sea-
son, becomes a matter of public con-
Germ. The real damage by these floods
bears upon the owners of property within
the range of the waters that are forced
back upon the adjacent lands.
This matter should not be permitted
to remain uncorrected indefinitely. Many
millions of dollars have been expended
upon public works of no greater i'm
portance. AS long as projects are being
undertaken for the spreading of en-
ployment this item of urgent public need
should be added to the list. Eventually
something must be done about it. AS
the population of the affected area in
creases and as business grows and as
travel swells in volume steadily, the solu-
ton becomes yearly more requisite, and
apparently the only solution lies in the
adoption of Federal project for the
control of these perennial high waters
and their orderly flow into the natural
channel to the sea.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRACEWELL.

| appeal which no sheer amount of brains
or writing ability could make.
- ~
Nothing brings reader and writer
closer together than this. and few
facts show SO clearly the bond which
may exist utterly aside from what the
writer says.
1t is this surprising quality of writing
which changes its hue, from reader to
reader. 1t is comprehensibly true that
what will make this hidden appeal to one
reader will fail of it with the next.
That is why. no doubt, we hear one
person say, Il think Gone With the
Wind is the best novel ever written
and the very next declare, Il think it is
good for nothing"
On any other basis there is no way
to rationalize these divergent opinions
from two readers whose mentality might
be judged to be similar.
X
Often these hidden ties go back very
far.
Sometimes one reads a book with ex-
ceptional pleasure, and finds something
which cannot be defined, but which
nevertheless is as sure as anything the
reader knows.
The quality is tangible, although only
an expert could put it into words, per-
haps. The average reader makes no
attempt to do So He just reads and
enjoys, hugs to his mental self the new
found friend.
Just as he starts to put the book down
he reads the publishers blurb on the
inner part of the front cover.
The author was born. he sees. just
a few miles from his own birthplace.
1t is no wonder he is speaking the
readers own language.

There are much farther reaches than
this.
They go back to the nativity of each

The human mind is growth
Each mind goes back thousands of
years of growing minds, not just the
thousands of years alone. The brains
of the animals do that-every one knows
how Fido of today is just the same as
Fido of century one.

today are enriched immeasurably over

The idea of the mind on the march

The mind in the making is not just

to all of us.
Mind growth takes certain paths.

Of these paths, and is able to appreciate

with the direction or not
He is the ideal reader, the person for
whom all writing is put down; and it IS

In Freedoms Name.

Russia today is supposed to be an
approximation of Utopia. 1t u.s. in effect,
MARKHAM Socialism made real. Within its
borders the philosophy of the famous
author of "Das Kapital" has ceased to
be merely theory and has become a
rule of life, a system of living for un-
counted millions Of people. Josef
Stain, once shoemaker, now the Sec
retary of the Communist party, main
tains an allegedly benign dictatorship in
the interest of proletariat fanatically
loyal to the Bolshevik principle of in
dustrial democracy"
But something is wrong in MuScovy.
No less than eleven hundred and forty
one persons have been executed during
the past few months. They are the
known victims" of purge directed by
the Russian Caesar. How many more
must die before treason and sabotage
will terminate nobody can guess. What
is perfectly plain is the fact that liberty
already has perished in the Soviet Union.
The tyranny of the czars has been re-
placed by the tyranny of professional
radicals. King Log has been succeeded
by King Stork.
Yet this tragic development is not
new. Rather, it represents the tendency
of history to repeat. When Madame
Roland, on November 8, 1893, bowed
before the clay efflgy in the Place de la
Revolution and said 20 Liberty! what
crimes are committed in thy name!" she
expressed the conscience of posterity. She
was merely single individual in list
of twenty-six hundred and sixty-nine
condemned to the guillotine during the
four hundred and twenty days of the
Terror-an adventure in assassination
designed to destroy the Ancien Regime,
but fated to create that monster" Ma
poleon who 'irked God"
Freedom, it seems, cannot be pro-
duced by violence in such cases. The
only revolutions which have succeeded
have been those which have been kept
clean by their sponsors. In the instance
of the revolt of the American Colonies
against George III the character of
Washington preserved the patriots from
the excesses which otherwise almost GER
tainly would have occurred. He domi-
mated the event with genius not shared
by Lenin and Trotzky, Mussolini and
Hitler. The difference is fundamental
and ought not to be misunderstood. 1t

easement damages. Now an oddity de-
velops in the extension of the city's travel
routes, with the citation of easement
damages reminiscent of the claims Incl
dent to the construction of the original
elevated lines. Recently great bridge
was constructed across the upper reach
Of the East River, traversing Wards
Island. The work has been completed.
Now comes a citizen with a claim for
trespass upon certain rights incident to
his ownership of lands beneath the
bridge. He holds title to some 255, 900
square feet, of which the greater part
is under water. He AYERS that the bridge
prevents any construction upon this land,
either that which is above water or that
which is submerged, but which might
conceiyably be brought above water level
by some future change in grades. AS
for the actual land surface of today, he
claims that he is injured by the presence
OF the bridge inasmuch as 1t shades the
area beneath it and furthermore it
would be dangerous to build upon it be-
cause of the fact that the property be-
meath the bridge would be constantly
endangered by fire from cigarette butts
or damage from anything that might
be dropped or thrown from the bridge.
Not much concern is felt by the civic
authorities on this score. The suit is
not rated as of really grave Importance.
But one never knows what may happen
in court when a property owner files
a suit for damages. The owners of the
property along the lines of the elevated
roads collected considerable sums when
the courts finally got around to the max
ing of awards for trespass upon the ease
ments. Perhaps generation or so later
this present suit for damages will be
settled, maybe long after the present
claimants are gone. The making of a
big city is costly proceeding, and
especially since millions of people move
about daily and demand the shortest
routes for their travel.

Pluto the Most Distant
Planet From the Earth
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Star of October Is, 1887, an
item appears which states that Neptune
is the most distant planet from the
EARTH"
Less than ten years ago this was
true, but today Neptune's place as the
farthermost planet has been taken by
the planet Pluto. The discovery of
Pluto was made at the Lowell Observa-
tory in Arizona after long search, and
the announcement was made March 13.
1880, by Clyde w. Tombaugh, the dis
coverer.
Under the table of elements of the
planetary orbits for the Epoch January
1887, G.. M. N, in the American
Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac for
the year 1887, the mean distances from
the sun of Neptune and Pluto are
30070672 and 39.45743 astronomical units,
respectively-the unit being the mean
distance of the earth from the sun, or
92897, ,416 statute miles.
The mean distance of the planet is
600 million miles beyond n tune. Be-
cause Of its great orbital ceOOntricity its
