Clipper Passengers May Still Be Alive Says Veteran F|ier
Flight Engineer for Big PAA Ocean Ships Ar
 rives in Juneau

c. D. Wright, of Pan American Airways. who arrived in Juneau this afternoon aboard the Aleutian to be acting airport manager" tempor- arily. has flown the Atlantic Ocean three times and the Pacific Ocean sixteen times.
 Asked as to what fate he believed fell to the missing Hawaii Clipper, 26-ton flying boat lost to the world with Is passengers, over the open sea on a Guam Manila flight last Friday Wright asid Nobody could know or guess unless a bit of wreck age is found"
 "The only hope" Wright sad, IS that the ship might have landed and given passengers time to get into rubber boats, If that occurred, it might be that the small boats were carried out of the area Of search. It would be mighty hard to find one in rough water. That's the only hope, as I see it.
 Five rubber boats are carried on each of the clippers, Wright said and explained each would hold ten persons and they are stocked with food and flares.
 Flight Engineer Wright was on the China Clipper in November ot 1885 when that ship made its inaugural flight under Captain Ed ward Musick, who was later killed in an ocean flight crash.
 "Musick was one of my closest friends, Wright said.
 Wright was ordered to Juneau evidently to handle field facilities here in connection with the trial flights over the Seattle-Juneau route beginning next Saturday. He says he is waiting for orders" and was only informed he was to be airport manager for a short time.
 Wright has been in Seattle for the past three months taking train ing in the big 72-passenger Boeings that will go into the Atlantic and Pacific service.
 Two of the ships will go on the Atlantic run, probably this fall, Wright said, and the other four under construction will go on the Pacific run.
 Flight Engineer" is Wright's title in ocean flying. He was in that capacity for three trial flights made to Europe by PA last summer Two of the trips were from New York to New Foundland to Foynes Ireland. and thence to Southamp- ton, England. The other trip was over the southern route via the Bermudas, the Azores, Lisbon ir Portugal, Marseilles, France, and then up to Southampton.
 The upper" route takes appoxi- mately ninet en flying hours Wright said and the lower" route, 25 hours, in the four-engined Sikorsky 42s.
 But then we had to fly around the war in Spain, so that took a little longer" Wright smiled
 Slightly built, brown hair retreat ing from his forehead, Wright, 9 young man, is not Holywood'S con- ception of a man who flies endless miles across open sea. He typifies the advance in modern aviation, 8 skilled man who does a skillful jot with modern machinery.
 Because he has flown under diff ficult conditions in many airways through the world, it was logica that Wright should be asked what he thought of Alaska's flying con. ditionS.
 He looked out the window of thC Gastineau Hotel, saw running wate1 in the gutter and smiled, T don think much of your weather"

midst Of the other parched or
almost barren fields. Why is
that so? That question kept run
ming through my mind. The
answer seems to be because of
the plant, and because the soil
was put in condition to give it a
chance to grow.
And as the train glided along

are making real progress in
their growth and development
like alfalfa, and the people
who - like a poor meadow or
Weedy cornfield-are not achicv-
ing their best possibilities.

from the depths that alfalfa
brings some Of the moisture and
food. SO there are folks who
have depth and their resources
are in the Creator. Through the
spirit Of the living God and the
comradeship = Jesus Christ
their souls are put in such a
condition that they can and do
grow.

As q result Of taking these

er from the depths Of my SOU
that among other people and in
the sight Of God I might be like
alfalfa and ever be found doing

dreams, making those plans,
and developing those ideals and

We all take pictures with our
souls every day. The kind off
pictures we take depends on
what we are, the contacts we
make, the thoughts we think, the
reading we do, and our experien-
ces. My recent trip to western
Kansas on the train, and from
my farm home at Good Hope in
Harrison county, West Virginia,
to Washington, d. c., today af-
forded me an unuual opportuni-
ty to take pictures.
In western Kansas, a part of
the dust bowl, the farms are
large, with hundreds of acres
in the field. One thing that inn
pressed me most in this section
was the lack Of rugged trees and
forests. While there were some
trees they all seemed to find it
difficult to dcvelope in a normal
healthy way In eastern Kansas
and across Missouri there are
more scattered trees and clust-
ers of trees and they are larger.
Kansas is known as a great
wheat state One minister told
me that his uncle thrashed 49,
000 bushels this year. Rain for
the growing of the wheat was
adequate, but re farmers
found it difficult to do a good
job of harvesting on account Of
excessive rain. Then, too, the
price was only 80 to 50 cents a
bushel, so that while the farm
ers made some progress getting
a new grip on the situation, they
still have some unusual problems
to grapple with. Many Of them
drinR the prosperous days made
the mistake of blowing up toe
much land.
The corn crop as a whole does
not look so good. There are
fields in some sections that do
look prettv good ] was i'm
pressed, however, with the large
amount Of poor farming that is
being done Thousands Of acres
loolQ neglected. On many Of
these acre there is a poor corn
~, poor pasture, or a poor
grade Of meadow.

es U r s, yea, all of us. This
gives a black eye to any man
who would like to pusillanimous-
ly point the finger of criticism
at Keystone's position. Our COM
promise was for bushes
reasons and not for petty parti-
san politics. Name to us any
town, village, or city or what
not that can lay claim to the
greatness of the city of Keystone
which stands out as a beacon
light for any and all other cities
to follow ans to come to at will.
Keystone is not boastfu. What
she has now is what has been
due her for fifty years when
measured by the uncomplain-
ing service rendered the govern
ment of the county, state and
nation. There is not a man on
the council whose names we
have mentioned to be looked at,
spoken about or thought on
who is not a high class gentle
man, a worthwhile business
man and one who lustre to any
people, place, city or town of the

said is all the doctor ordered.

To pound out the inner shell
by hand would cost only S24 for
tools. In the Ford exhibit, there
fore an expert handworker will
be installed. The press will turn
out 2,l60 of these shells in the
time it takes him to make one.
As w. j. Cameron says, those
who view the exhibit will natur-
ally think of the effect of the
machinery on employment. And
that's the intention.
To begin with, the machinery
Greats employment before it
ever goes into production. The
press and dies represent $500
days work which. at five days n
week, fifty-two weeks n year
amounts to twenty four years,
two months and two weeks of
work. Thus twentyfour years
OF employment at 81 Il day has

equipment before it does a
stroke of work.
The first effect of the machine
therefore, is to creat employ
ment. But does t h n machine
destroy 2,160 possible Jobs?
EQuipping man with hand
tools at $24 would seem to be
q re a t saving over a $4,000
press. But, to produce as many
hubcaps by hand, and to equip
, 100 men to do it, would cost
SLIP more than the press.
The cost Of producing that
shell would be increased by II
and one half per cent for tools
alone. Tire would have to be a
factory for those 2.16O men,
which would cost at least half
a million dollars, and about
$38,OOO Il year to maintain, not
including the cost of two acres
of land. s5 tsgss2xarH

Hwaiyuan and Linkwaikwan, taken by
the japanese in bitter fighting recently
west Of Pengpu.
Far to the north, japanese troops
along the Peiping -Hankow Railway
were still held up at the Yellow River
crossing Chinese defenders of the
river bank were stubbornly resisting.
While ground troops we're locked in
bloody conflict. japanese and Chinese
air forces engaged in what probably
were the most extensive operations of
the war. Repeated raids were being
made on troop concentrations, supply
bases and cities.
The japanese Navy announced that
80 planes raided Hapkow. temporary
seat of the Chang Kai-shek govern
ment, and engaged in spectacular
fight with IS Chinese ships. The jap
anese declared they shot down 80 Chi
nese planes.
The navy said most of the planes
brought down in flames or out of con-
troll were Russian.
When asked about japanese losses,
the navy spokesman said they would
be announced later when checked"
Advices from Hankow, however, said
fast. Soviet-made planes of the Chi
nese air force brought down IL Japa-
nese planes and that five other Japa-
nese ships were missing after the fight
The Chinese admitted losing only four
planes and said damage done by the
japanese raiders was negligible.
