Mr.. Schoettler spent the past two
years developing the Vocational
Education program in Alaska, and
his work was interrupted through
the failure of the Legislature to
make an appropriation to meet the
requirements of the Federal George
Deem Act, which pays two-thirds of
the salaries and travel expenses of
all Supervisors and teachers of vo-

Territory last July, Mr.. Schoettler

Mrs. O. S. Weaver of Nome
Says "Twok" Do
ing Fine Work

George Arden Ahgupuk's most
sincere enthusiast Mrs. o. S. Wea-
yer, of Nome. stopped in Juneau
long enough yesterday while the
Princess Norah was in port, to tell
friends that "Ahgupuk (the Eskimo
artist who etches on sealskins) is
doing wonderful work and has a
fine future ahead of him"
Mrs. Weaves, who is travelling
with her husband, operator of the
power and light utilities at Nome,
a few years ago took "Twok," as
the artist is known, under her
wing
The 26-year-old Eskimo from
Shishmaref went to Nome at Mrs.
Viewers insistence and began to
do small etchings for Nomeites that
finally came under the scrutinizing
eye of Rockwell Kent. Kent saw
the faithful sweep of Ahgupuks
pens and brushes and pronounced
him a find"
The Weavers will travel extern
sively in the States before re-
turning in the spring.

THE SILENT TREATMENT

Der Furious. the great man who sits on the
throne of BarharoSSa and who, according to some
of the more enthusiastic writer's of Germany Is
quite probably the long awaited rencarnation of
that early exponent Of Aryan destiny. has found
a new enemy out to Cypress him. 1t is the school
children of CzCchoslovakia. They have been sing
ing little songs about him much like the classic
American ditty about Kaiser Bits journey up a
hill to survey the French landscape. What is worse,
some of the teachers said to have stood by and
merely smiled while the great man thus Grim
inaly ampooned And SO, Adolf, with his usual
largencSs of soul has protested TO the CzoChoslo-
vakian government and demanded that the songs
he suppressed and the teachers and children pun
ished
The Czechoslovakiau government, however, Is
making a mistake in dealing with this mean and
hrazen demand For it is pretending to treat 1t
seriously. And the experience Of the United States
long ago proved that explaining carefully to the
Nazis that demoCracieS don't have a censorship
merely brings on renewed Clamor from them. Mr..
Hull tried that polite course several times and
then took to Ignoring their demands and protests.
And as result he hasn't been much bothered with

PROPER FUNCTION

Representative Henry B. SteagaIl Of Alabama
chairman of the House Banking committee, thinks
the next congress should do something to liberal
ize banking laws and restore general confidence"
And he thinks for thing there should be
some kind of legislation which would ''restorc to
banks generally their proper lending function"
Mr.. SteagaPs emphasis upon lending as the pro
per function of the banks is significant
The restrictions and limitations upon this lend
ing which have encouraged the setting up of a
large number of other sorts of more or less ire
sponsible lending institutions, together with the en-
trance of the government into many fields of this
lending, certainly have not strengthened confidence
in established banking, and where that confidence
is lacking general business confidence is by so
much held back.
Representative Steaga has ideas about
how to "make banking safer and it's facilities moro
readily available for everybodys USE" and some of
them are likely to get before the next session of
congress.
For one thing he would like to simplify bank
examinations and control, so as to end petty quar-
rels that have arisen over procedure"
And that is something that may be accomplished
easily but there must be relaxation of the rules
of safety and security for depositors.-Rock Hill

financial condition of many of them, have
used the depression period to revolution

travel in the United States. They have
dared to go ahead and buy new and better

THE SOURCE OF POODLE

The neffabe Aubrey Williams, OF WA tell;
relief workers that they should vote for their
friends" What he meant was clear because he said
it in applaudng the Presidents Preside chat, which
said the same thing less directly.
About the same time, WA which hasn't enough
money to relieve onc-third Of the unemployed,
made it harder to help the rest by restoring wage
cuts and raising southern relief wages. That was
to avoid the political embarrassment due to the
fact that the wages and hours bill permits no south
ern differentiaS. while WPA has always maintained
very large ones In the states Of Oklahoma and
Kentucky, where rubbcr-stamp senators arc in dan
ger. WPA wage increases were largest of all.
Thus it appears that the administration docsn t.
conceal that it is using relief money for political
slush at the expense of the unemployed. 1t seems
to be boastng about it to make it more elective

that both army and navy are about to pro-
duce planes that will make these existing
giants look small.
For the army, according to a story re-
Gently issued by Science Service, an S0-ton
bomber is being built by the Douglas peo-
pie The plane will have Il wing-Span of
more than 200 feet, will be able to cruise
at better than 275 miles an hour, and will
altogether be the most amazing flying ma

The navy, too, is developing new craft
"a 50-ton flying battleship," according
to reports, which will be somewhat small
er than the new army bomber but which
nevertheless will be the sort of aerial giant
that makes one gasp in sheer wonder.
THAT such craft should be built is a
