veloped special feature depart
ments - hitherto unknown. Com
ment and propaganda became rele-
gated more and more to their
rightful positions on the editorial
page or under properly by-lned
columns. Papers were serviced by
great national news agencies, and
many operated their own print
shops.
Still, the profession has not yet
found itself. Standards are not
firmly set; there are too many
glOrifed hand-bills functioning un-
der the title newspaper" and gen.
orally degenerating the profession.
Large national publications, in a
frantic attempt to corner greater
circulation, have allowed them
selves to become too localized. For
instance, there will appear on one
great ifeless page, news of Read
ing, Pennsylvania, Santa Barbara,
California, Springfield, Illinois, and
several intermediary small towns
all written by rank amateurs and
of absolutely microscopic news
value. Editorial comment is still
too often injected into news items.
But in the future these things
may be remedied. A revitalized,
reorganized national news service,

with possible wire facilities, would
be a tremendous asset. And, If q
goal of journalistic purity is desir-
ed, makeup and composition must
veer away from the present sensa-
tional tendencies; while the as
sumption Of less hysterical edi-
torial attitudes would also be well
coined. ALI this can be accom-
plished, however, through but one
medium-the determined, whole
hearted support Of the reader. Dis
regarding the stupendous service
newspapers have rendered the race,
there are those who consider it
fashionable and sophisticated to
knock and SANDER our journals at
every possible opportunity. This
attitude must be changed-it be-
speaks ignorance, ingratitude, and
lack of vision. 1t is in the hands
of the average reader to transform
our newspaper into journalistically
flawless creations. And how can
we do this? Through intelligent,
loyal patronage of advertisers in
race periodicals. Such a course
would benefit the consumer, the
young job-hunting journalist or
printer, the newspaper as a COM
mercial enterprise, but most of all
the race itself, which, by this ac-
ton, would retain its most vital
and efficient weapon. A "big
stick" which no industriaist, bust
ness man, or politician would dare
defy.

Queen Victoria Said to
Have Invented Acrostics

There is a legend that Queen Vic
toria invented acrostics to amuse
her children in the year 1856, and
in this year a poet printed double
acrostic, in which the first letters
in each line Of the poem spelled one
word, and the last letters another.
1t may be that the queen made
the acrostic a popular puzzle with
society, but actually the acrostic is
an ancient device, states a writer
in Pearson's London Weekly.
One Of the oldest is to be found in
the Bible. At the head Of every
group Of verses Of Psalm 119 is to
be found in correct order the letters
Of the Hebrew alphabet: "Aleph,
Beth, Gimel, Daleth," and so on, %
letters in all.
A nursery-rhyme descendant Of
this is the familiar A was an Apple,
B Bit it, c Cut it, D Dealt it, E Eat
it, F Fought for it, and so on to
tx Y z and ampersand CD all
wished for piece in hand"
In the time Of Elizabeth when fat
terry was the sure way to literary
success, Sir John Davies wrote 20
verses in honor Of Queen Elizabeth,
calling the collection Hymns Of
Astrea" and making each verse an
acrostic on the word "ASTRAEA."
Medieval monks were often fond
Of writing about love, and Francis
Colonna was no exception. He wrote

Hungarian Monarchy Was
Founded by Magyar Chief

The Hungarian monarchy was
founded by Arpad, Magyar chief
tain. who entered the region which
is now Hungary by crossing the
Carpathian mountains from the
east. The numerous principali-
ties Of the Slavonic tribes were won
over by gifts or subjected by force
Of arms and Arpad settled on the
island of Tsepel in the Danube river
as the seat Of the Hungarian govern
ment.
In 907 A. D. Arpad died and was
succeeded by his son, Zoltan, who in
turn bequeathed his power to his
son, Geza. Geza died in 997 A. D..
and his place was filed by his
son, Stephen, who had been raised
as Christian. After becoming duke
Of Hungary. Stephen married Gil
sela, Bavarian princess.
After suppressing an insurrec-
ton in 988 A. D., Stephen estab-
lished the monarchy and asked the
church Of Rome to confirm his act.
Pope Sylvester II gave his approval
to Astrik, Stephens messenger, and
sent him a consecrated crown,
which forms the upper part Of the
Sacra Corona, so famous in Hun
garian history. The lower part Of
the crown, notes a writer in the
Chicago Tribune, was a gift from
the emperor Of Byzantium nearly a
century later. Stephen died in 1898
and was canonized in 1888.
The crown is kept in a sealed
casket and vigilantly guarded. No
one is ever allowed to see it, re-

throughout the North. Some VlO-
lent, some persuasive-an were
dedicated to a ceaseless, unyield-
ing battle against the SOuth's great
institution of enslavement. The
Indifferent Yankee conscience could
not long Withstand the constant
battering of the little pamphlets,
and to them goes credit for the
enlistment of many thousands to
the ranks of the abOlitiOnists. It
took great men and minds to keep
up that steady flow of thousands of
printed words during those days,
and giant among them was Fred
erick Douglass, who is today her
aided the greatest pamphleteer our
nation ever produced.
But during all these years of
constant anti-slarery agitation, the
Negro newspaper, although accom-
plishing fine work, was becoming
Enthusiastically warped. For it is
acknowledged that the prime func-
ton of a newspaper is to collect
news and impartially present it;
the editorial aspect is secondary.
However, the one excuse for the
existence of Negro journalism at
that time was to maintain an I'M
ending flow of propaganda. In
some cases, whole editions were
published without a single news
items; in others, news was so
thoroughly colored that it could
scarcely be classified as such.
The great reaction came with the
Emancipation Proclamation. The
majority of Negro publications
deeming their battle wOn-simply
ceased to exist.
Soon, however, it was found that
the race still needed champion
that exploitation and discrimina-
ton had not automatically disap-
peared because the Fourteenth
Amendment labeled them illegal.
Again liberty was crushed, and
again the Negro newspaper fought.
However, the Negro newspaper
remained Enthusiastically illegit-
a medium of propa-
ganda. But from that time for
ward a great change began to take
place. Certain papers commenced
national distribution, and many de- !

j. H. Paine was composer and
critic who was friend of Frank
Chickering's. 1t was generally
supposed that Paine was poor. His
name is associated with an expe-
rience which befell his benefactor,
Chickering. To the latter Paine in
trusted a package wrapped in a
bandana handkerchief. Assuming
that the content was manuscripts,
Chickering placed the package in

Strange Facts
Y Elephants Without
!. Trunks

THE largest of the true seals
4 are known as sea elephants.
Full-grown bulls are sometimes Is
feet long and weigh over 1000
pounds. They are called sea-ele-
plants not on account of their
size, but because the ends of their
noses are so shaped as to resem-
BILE short, wrinkled trunks. Their
hair is gray except for a patch
of white on their necks and they
have long tusks. Sea-elephants
were once common all through
the Pacific ocean, but their fat
bodies yield so much oil that they
have been hunted mercilessly.
Now they are found only in the
South Pacific ocean.
Next to the sea elephants the
largest of all the seals are the sea
lions. Steller's sea lion, which is
common throughout the North Pa
cific, sometimes exceeds 10 feet
in length. The short ears of sea
lions differentiate them from true
seals; also their necks are longer.
Since their forelimbs are triangu-
lar paddles and their hindlimbs
are web-toed feet which do not
turn back like seals feet, they
can use all four limbs on land.
They can easily climb up rocks
and cliffs.
In the United States the most
familiar sea lions are the Cali
fornia sea lions, almost all of
which are found along the coast of
California. They are active and in
telligent, and they can be trained
easily to do tricks, such as jug
Cling and balancing balls on the
ends of their noses. Unlike most
trained animals they seem to en-
JOY showing off their accomplish
mentS.
Like the sea lions, the fur seals
are not true seals, but cared
seals, and they are sometimes
known as sea bears. They differ
from other seals in having a coat
of thick, soft, brown underfur
which we know as sealskin. The
outer coat is composed of stiff
grayish hairs which are removed
when the fur is dressed.

ALAsKA's JOBLEss FROM OUTSIDE

While nearly year old and probably not a true picture of conditions at the present time nal results of the unemployment census for Alaska taken last year have just been received.
 According to the census there were 779 persons totaled unemployed when the census taken ASA classified as emergency workers and 383 listed par tialy unemployed in the Territory. Of the number of totally unemployed TOP in the First Division. All but two of the emergency workers were in the First Division and of the partly unemployed 332 of them were in this Division. All of which indicates that the First Division last year about the only place in the Territory which had problem of employment
 But going a little further into the report it is found that of the 779 listed as unemployed 402 were Iaborers and of this number 361 were in the First Division With the exception of two in the Second and Fourth the remainder were all in the Third Division.
 The report reveals very definitely that Alaskas major unemployment problem is from the Out side The census clearly shows that the registration was down here in the First Division where they come by every boat looking for work If the census was retaken this year it probably would be revealed that the unemployed have spread further the Terri tory They would be found in greater numbers in Anchorage and in Fairbanks, and very likely some of them in Nome
 Alaska's unemployment problem would not be a serious one at all if it were confined Aaskans But there has been an influx seeking work in the last two seasons which has flooded the limited labor marl-e. ard put a terrific burden the Territory relief rolls So long that condition persists will have unemployment problem in the Territory, ana there isn't very much to be done about it. unemploy- ment census or no unemployment census. About the best that can be done is try to head her off from coming to Alaska without sufficient funds.
