ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT FOR
 ALASKA

It is gratifying to residents of Southeast Alaska, that the War Department has decided to go ahead with plans for dredging Dry Pass on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island and has authorized call for bids the work for which S79000 has been made available Incidentally an orchid is due the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for .inshtutng the idea and working diligently get the project actually underway In this undertaking it has been solidly supported by all of Southeast Alaska
 Dredging of Dry Pass will mean great deal to Juneau Ketchikan WrangeI and all of the South- east It will open up waterway between the Islands of Prince of Wales and Kosciusko and permit small operate that route at all times At pres ent tugs and small boats drawing around seven feet of water can only at high tide With the dredg- ing done it is anticipated that the great log rafts can be brought north through that way from Prince of Wales Island to the sawmlls without having to expose them to the. open waters of the Pacific
 Prince of Wales has some of the best timber in the Southeast for fish trap logs piling and other lumber The Juneau sawm gets virtually all its raw material from that and Ketchikan and Wrangell draw on the for trap logs Also the fishing fleets from those cities will be better served when Dry Pass is made available.
 The present action by the War Department means a distinct boost to commercial activity in Southeast Alaska Also it means have often reiterated that Washington is not unmindful of the needs of Alaska and never in history has administration shown such an actual desire bring about develop ment of the Territory
 Tn this connection, as you probably noted in yes terday's Empire the Senate Commerce Committee has recommended appropriation for air mail between Juneau and Fairbanks something Alaskans have sought for a long time.
 United we forward to achievement.

 "No, indeed ma'am," was the reply.

Child Labor
fNew York Times)

I tNew York Times)
 It is sometimes claimed by the opponents of the child labor amendment that the amendment is not necessary because the evil with which it deals has been gradually curing itself and is already of minor proportions. There is a measure of truth in this contention The census of l930 showed 235328 children from 10 to 13 years old ganfully employed in the United States compared with 378O63 in 1920 and 8e5 976 1910 In 1930 there were 431790 chil- dren of the ages of IA and IS employed, compared with 682 795 in 1920 and 249 in 1910. Since 1880 there doubtless been substantial reduction in the number of children of 15 and younger employed. This has brought about partly by the same tendencies that were working in preceding years, and partly by the MIRA codes which prohibited the employment of such children.
 Of the 667 118 children 15 years old or less work ing in 1930 469 497 in agriculture In spite of the fact that popuary the child labor evil is usually discussed in its relation to factory employment only 63 266 children of Is less employed in 1850 in manufacturing and mechanical industries The great bulk of the agricultural employment of children was in the Southern States.
 Yet substantial child labor problem remains. All together in l930 there 2145,959 persons be- tween the ages of 10 and IT ganfully employed The United States Children's Bureau, comparing condi- tons in the first five months of 1885 when the NFA codes still in effect with conditions in the frst five months of 1886 found, in figures covering ten States the District of Columbia and ninety eight clues in other States that there increase in the lat
  year-ods taking out their first working papers. And while all but of the States now have some law regarding the age at which children may work here is summary of State law inadequacies recently pub shed in the Survey Graphic;
 Mine States, through exemptions in their laws still permit children under 14 to work in industry during school hours States permit children be- tween IA and Is years of to work nine to eleven hours a day; ten States allow children in this age group to work until pm later; thirty-two States have practically no regulation of the employment in hazardous occupations of 16- and l7-year-o girls and boys"
 l The ratification of the child labor amendment would terminate legislative laxity of this sort.

There is little doubt that the first
rejecting surfaces were developed by
men of the stone age by polishing
granite. obsidian and similar materials.
AS man developed methods of produc-
ing metals from ores, and in reason
ably flat sheets. ne must have early
undertaken to polish these surfaces
and produce much more satisfactory
mirrors than those previously avail
able. In later days, as metal workers
became more skilled, these metallic
mirrors became magnificent pieces of
art, reaching great heights during the
reign of Cleopatra. Unfortunately, the
only mirror which could be depended
upon 20 maintain its beauty of reflcc-
ton was the gold mirror naturally
difficult TO obtain and very expensive.
Silver mirrors were satisfactory ex-
Gept that repolishing of the surfaces
always produced scratching which in
time impaired their usefulness. Steel

down rapidly through oxidation.
Mirrors of glass were introduced
some tim later, but for long time
were inferior to metal mirrors due to
the difficulty of casting glass with
true surface. In fact it was not until
polished plate glass was made that
really satisfactory mirrors of glass
were possible, mirrors which gave
back true and undistoTted images.
For many years mirrors were made
by applying thin metallic films or foil
TO the back of polished glass. About
1868, tin amalgam as mirror back
lng was further development These
methods brought glass mirrors into
more general use, in spite Of several

still used today. This basic layer OF
silver is covered first by coat od
shellac, then one of paint as protec-

elecuo-copper plating over the silver
