to 1890 p. m. The remarkable thing
about this broadcast was that Good

tolerant that he carries as an integ-

There has been some criticism of
Mr.. Goodman's arrangement and adj
aption of certain songs, but we are
willing to overlook a good many
things after seeing the lesson this
young man is teaching America in
race relations.
This was our first time to witness
a coast-to-coast broadcast, with part
of the program coming from New

ALAsKA's MARCH OF PROGRESS

Inauguration of commercial telephone service to- day between Alaska and the States marks another major step the steady march of the Territory toward a great empire in the north.
 Communication has taken the lead. Now trans poraton must forge ahead to keep abreast of the Alaska The International Highway must be estab- lshed linking the States with the Territory by road, and regular scheduled air lines must follow they are bound to do
 These three jor advances the natural fore runners of development in the Territory. With com- munication, established and which will be improved during the years to come, and adequate transportation by air and road in addition to the long established transportation development of AL askas mineral forest and other resources will be given greater impetus. Communication and transportation have always been in the vanguard of development and in these fast-moving modern days they abso luely imperative. Without them natural development is slow and retarded because business not get the service it must have keep abreast With them, business in the north function just it does in the States
 There is something imaginative almost unbelieve able in the telephone link to the States for Alas kans who long have been accustomed to delay and n- convenience In the States they are used to picking up the telephone and talking to business associate friend across the continent. It is longer phe nomenal, but routine But talking from Alaska to the States by radoteephone and thence to destina- tion in the States by land wire is comparatively new venture in the world of communication. It is in- spring and opens up aVista of great possibilities
 For business it means great saving in time and money. U probably will mean the elimination of many long delays often resulting in forced trips to the Outside. Photographic messages have been a great service, but telegraphic message never be adequate word of mouth A detail in a busi- ness deal which ordinarily might require the ex- change of many telegrams radiograms to iron out might well be settled by the interested parties talking to each other the phone just they would talk across the desk table in office Not only does it speed up communication, but it broadens that business can be adequately transacted.
 
 The telephone is here. Efforts must now be con- centrated the International Highway and regu- larly scheduled air lines to the Outside.

Artistically inclined, she sketched an outline of the map as it would appear on triangular scarf, and though she was unable to complete pla ms for manufacturing before sailing, she was even more enthus :. iastic about her plans upon return from last years visit to Alaska.
 Back again this year she has found that everyone, tourists and residents alike, find the scarves and handkerchiefs unusually at tractive. Sitting at a small table in the corner of George Brothers, she is continuously making change and explaining how the novelties came to. be. And if the demand continues, she may be back for her third trip to the Territory next year.

Teacher Applies Alaskan Motif to
 Novelty Scarves
Classroom In ration Brings Pasadena
 Teacher North

Ostensibly she was teaching Eng fish; actually she was studying an Alaskan map in preparation for trip to the Territory, last summer, when suddenly she conceived an idea which has brought her to Alaska again this year.
 Miss E Esther Person, Pasadena school teacher, explained last night in corner of George Brothers store, that the Alaskan scarves and handkerchiefs which she is display ing are both san inspiration and mistake. In bright colors on white backgrounds, the scarves present @ pictorial map of Alaska, and are all lined in a contrasting shade of silk Handkerchiefs, in pastel shades of linen, also include pie lures of Alaskan spots of interest.
 Miss Person states that she was studying the Alaska Steamship Company's good-natured map of Alaska, and thinking of how artis- tic it was when she noticed one of her students standing on the op- posite side of the room at the blackboard For moment, she stated, it seemed as if the girl were wearing blouse with the map outline printed on it, and suddenly she knew she had con- ceiyed a novel and artistic idea.

Commenting in a recent

sue the P.-Is says: :-.,..s,,.. ,. q. ,.,.s.s-s..,
 In a scholarly article on the history of Alaskan and North Pacific fisheries, appear ing in Pacific Affairs quarterly publication of The Institute of Pacific Relations Edward w Allen of Seattle, member of the inter- national commission on halibut fisheries, says:
 Tt is significant that the history of the North Pacific begins with a Japanese fisher man being wrecked on the Siberian Coast. The Cossacks pushing eastward to the Pa cific Ocean, in their conquest of Siberia found this strange person in the hands of Kamchat- kan natives He was transported to the Rus sian capital at the request of the cZar. It was partly the interest that this Japanese fisher man aroused in Peter the Great which prompted the launching of the two Russian expeditions which explored the North Pa cific Thus were the Commander and the Aleutian islands, Boring Sea and Alaska dis covered. Now, MT. Allen comments, in latter phases of his article, America faces the problem of the Japanese fisherman on this, side of the Pacific. fss tsytss
 But a great deal of water has gone over the dam since the days of the, first Japanese fisherman. NF5S .t stft
 The United States, seventy years ago, acquired Alaska by purchase.
 That action and subsequent immigration legislation have marked the complete politi cal separation of Asia and North America.
 They must be kept separate.
 Asia has no legitimate interests on this side of the Pacific The Japanese fisherman should stay on his own side of the ocean.
