All sport, golf especially, should be

MT. Highton, who comes from New Jersey, was last in charge of photographic work for the book on the National Capital. the Dis trict of Columbia His work before that covered New England.
 When the Interior Department borrowed MT. Highton from the WPA and decided to have similar book published on Alaska, he was instructed to concentrate his efforts toward securing a background of photographic illustrations. As his sojourn in Alaska is necessarily too brief to fully cover the Territory, he is to supplement the shots he obtains with pictures selected from the stocks of commercial photo graphers in the Territory.
 For Permanent Record
 MT Highton is devoting much of his work toward securing a photo graphic record of Alaskas indus tries; mining, fishing, farming, etc. He is endeavoring to secure shots that will be of permanent value as a record of Alaska, rather than of scenes that are subject to frequent change. The greater part of the pictures he has taken are not of isolated and rare subjects, but ra- ther disclose such scenes as are to be seen by the general run of tourists; so that they will form a true guide to the Northland that Is open to all.

Sol and the Constitution

 Representative Sol Bloom of New York, having devoted much energy and public money to making the country George Washing conscious is now chair man of the United States Constitution Sesqucenen- nial Commssion.
 Such calls for upkeep With the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Constitu- tons signing still months in the future and with two years of national celebration planned to follow MT Bloom has already spent most of the S200000 given him by Congress last year. He has staff of forty five people, occupying ten offices in Washing ton He has printed at II cents each, about 25000O copies of The Story of the Constitution (So Bloom author) selling of these booklets at 10 cents each and giving others away.
 So MT Bloom needs more money. He has asked Congress for $150000 and the House with patriotic has voted him $275000 The SIPS is to provide each Senator and Representative with 2500 copies of the booklet for free distribution MT Bloom did not object to the added appropriation.
 MT. Bloom hopes that the Senate and the President will be equally generous. There is, of course the possibility that MT Roosevelts order for 10 percent saving each appropriation will be applied That would leave each member of Congress only 2250 booklets to give away.
 Even the Republic might survive. Indeed, we suspect that the Republic might be grateful if MT. Bloom told to close his ten offices, fire his fortyfive assistants stop spending money and let the American people learn about their Constitution they did for nearly hundred and fifty years before MT.

sw York Times commenting the Russian fligh connection with national defense makes this il resting point
 Their flight is just little more than fourth of the way around the world and the ability of planes and men to accomplish it presents more problems in national defense.
 That this was foremost in the minds of Russian officials was indicated immediately by the Moscow newspaper Pravda It warned the enemies of the Soviet that Russia could build planes which, though intended for peace, could be a constant threat against ag- gression and the means of carrying war into the enemy's country. Pravda reminded the world that certain capitals were within easy striking distance by long-distance bombers.
 A glance at the map shows that there are about 5000 miles between Moscow and Tokyo and that is 1000 miles less than the Russians covered in their flight to San Jacinto. And it is only about 1000 miles from Moscow to Ber- lin. Not that hostile planes would have to fly from capital to capital From Russian Vladivostok to Tokyo it is about 500 miles, and from Western Russia to Berlin about 400.
 Long-d5tance flying has been a sport for many years. and planes and engines have improved the distance has stretched beyond the apparent possibilities of a few years ago. It adds to nations aeronautical prestige to build machine that will fly farther than any other and long flight is good test of en- zines, just automobile racing is test of au- tomobile construction. Distance flying is also means of proving the value of instruments and methods of navigation But more than all this it brings the world within smaller compass of time and makes more horrible the potentiaties of war.
