Tribute Paid Henry Cumm
 Last Services

Funeral services for the late Henry Gumm were conducted un der the auspices of the Masonic lodge at the Federated church at 2 pm. this afternoon. The ser vices were attended in a body by the Masons, Order of Eastern Star, Pioneers of Alaska, and the Pioneer Women. The church was crowded to overfoWing by the deceased's many friends.
 Paying marked tribute to Henry Gumm as a man and a respected citizen of Nome, the Rev. Vincent Widney drew special attention to his fearleSsness and faith in meet ing death and in the peaceful mannsr in which he went to his Maker.
 An incident which occurred shortly before he died summed up Henry Gumm as the man. He referred 10 the possibility that somatime he would go to sleep and never awaken, saying: T do not wish people to say Poor Henry; say instead, Lucky Hen ry.
 Mrs. Andrew Sather presided at the organ while a quartet in cluding Mrs. Thomas Morcom, Mrs. Thomas Givan, ChaS. D. Jones, and Chas W. Thornton, sang.
 The impressive Masonic cere- mony was delivered and at it's conclusion the coffin, beautifully adorned with floral wreaths, was accompanied back to the funeral parlors from whare it will be taken by plane to Fairbanks and thence transported to the States for burial by his relatives.
 Henry Gumm was stricken last Saturday evening while on his way home from a card party and dance given by the Pioneer lodge
 He lived a full and complete life, receiving the respect and ad- miration of all. His passing re- moves from Nome one of it's most beloved citizens.
 The greatest testimonial to Henry Gumm was the appear ance at the services of people from every walk of life and from many places outside of Nome there to pay their last respects to the departed. He has passed on to greater life and so we add: not Poor Henry. but Lucky Henry"--his last wish.
 Pall-bearers were; R. B. Julian, Dan Camp, Kenneth Rude, Ross Kinney, Donald Lyle and Cliff Allyn.

Impressive Services Held for Henry Glmm Today
Demos Started Ball to. Rolling
 For Primaries

Striking a note of harmony de- stined to carry it through the election year and into a more un- ited party, Nome Democrats las, evening at their meeting held al the city hall, established a per manent organization to carry on the campaign.
 Following the adoption of Con- stituton and set of bylaws. the following were elected as perman ent officers of the club to serve for period of two years, or un- til the nsxt election year:
 Chairman, George F. Laiblin; V.-Chairman, ,..-....lS. David Mazen Secretary .....- Russell Maynard Treasurer. Mrs. Lucia Grant Sgt. at-ArmS ... Tex Cockburn
 A committee report was read in open meeting spreading on the records of the Nome Democratic Club, the feeling and sympathy and expressing the loss which the Democrats not only of the Second Division but of Alaska suffered in the death of their leader Thos. Gaffney, the late United States Marshal of this division.
 Realizing the final date for fil- ing of primary candidates was approaching rapidly a committee was appointed to canvass Nome and also inquire in outlying sec tions or precincts to bring forth the strongest candidates for the house of representatives and the senate, in the forthcoming Prim- ary Election in April.
 Signing of the Democratic Roll again added many new and old democrats to the party, which still signifies the trust and con- fidence which the majority of the public in this section, and un- doubtedly throughout the rest of Alaska, have in their fearless leader, President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 A motion passed on the floor of the club also requests the Divi- sional Democratic Committee and the Territorial Committee for the Second Division, to communicate with Chairman Aubrey Carter of the Territorial Democratic Gen. tral Committee requesting the calling of a Divisional Conven tion sometime during the next months.
 Another meeting of the Club was called for next Thursday evening, Jan. 27th, to listen tc the report of the committee on candidates, after which the meet. ing adjourned.

FIND GERM
STUDENT BODY.
down BY $4,000
University Enrolment Is
Reduced Nearly Half
in 7 Years

BERLIN, Nov. "a. (UP) The
number of German university
students has declined from l2G.-
900 in 1881 to fewer than 10000
this year, according to the period
ical Young Germany. The survey
was made before the recent GUST
er of Jewish students.
Seven years ago 73.1 percent Of
the graduates of secondary schools
who had passed "abitur" cXamim-
tions qualifying them for univcr-
sity study entered universities,
while now the number is below 80
per cent.
This condition is considered un-
fortunate in view of the rising
number of occupations requiring
higher education, the more so
since interest in technical studies,
all-important to the new Germany,
has suffered particularly. In 1885
there were more students studying
theology than the combined sub
jects architecture, structural en-
gineering, mechanical engineering
and electrical engineering, al
though the number Of technicians
was twice as great as that of theo-
logians in 1929.
The relative success Of theolog-
ical studies is attributed to the
number of scholarships available.
Similar arrangements are advo-
Gated not only for technical uni
versity students but for secondary
pupils in addition to easing of en-
trance requirements and extensive
vocational guidance.
Causes of the dearth of stu
dents, which the periodical does
not examine, are probably to be
found in the attractiveness OF
army and party careers, the
length Of training period for pro-
fessional careers, to which two
years army and half year labor
service has now been added. The
compulsory restriction of the num-
ber of students at some of the
larger universities, which took
place at th ebeginning of the pres
ent regime, also is considered a
factor. In addition to the num-
Der of scholarships offered the
relative popularity of theology
may be due to the shorter study
period involved and the demand
for young theologians who. COM
bine religious faith with strict ad-
herence to national socialist
tenets. -...
