the same route. At that time eff fort was being made to get air mail for the Territory and partlc ularly for this route, to supple ment the passenger traffic and give Alaskans service they have long needed. Now we celebrate achievement after two years.
 To our neighbors in the Gold en Heart of the North" and thru out the vast Interior we send grs rsetings, for with the institution of the air mail service we become neighbors in fact. Two years ago we became passenger neighbors with bu. four hours air flight sep arating us. Now We become com plete business neighbors, with a fourhour air mail service to aug ment our personal visits.
 No longer is Fairbanks and the Interior country way off yon- der which required days to reach. No longer is Juneau, the Capital City, isolated in the Panhandle from the other great regions of Alaska. By air mail and pasSen- ger plane service the vast, far flung empire of the North becom- es a compact unit-a great new united country pushing forward toward it's place in the sun.
 The day is not far distant when every major center of the Terri tory will be joined with the Sta teS by air mail. It is probable that the next step will be service by PAA from Seattle to Ketchi- kan and Juneau and thus on into the Interior and Westward. From Juneau, it is anticipated that one flight route will be toward Fair banks and another toward Cordo- Va, Anchorage and the cities to the Westward.
 At the present writing PAA is making plans for extension of its present service from Juneau to Seattle by the coastal route. With that connection made Alaska will have surrnounted the major bar rier of isolation-the hurdle of fast transportation will have been cleared.
 Communication is keeping a. breast, if not leading the way. Today we have telephone connec ton with the States. Ultimately,

Uncle of Juneau
 Woman Goes Into
 Newspaper Game

A. P. Blauvelt was almost twice forty when his life in the newspaper business began, and Mrs. J. M Chase, prominent Juneau club wo- man, tells an interesting story about her uncle who began an apprentice ship in the back shop of the Crete, Nebraska, News, when he was "A years old.
 In an airmail letter, bearing a first flight" cachet. Nebraska's s Ma tional Air Mail Week, which arrived Tuesday, Mrs. Chase learned that her uncle, now past 87, is still well and hearty, and with the rest of his family would be in Lincoln May 26, attending the graduating exercises of Lincoln General Hospital where his granddaughter was finishing school
 MT. Blauvelt took up printing at the age of seventy-four in the shop of his son, publisher of the Crete News. Just helping around the shop, he learned to feed the presses, keep the Intertype machine in order, took over the subscription lists of the paper. The newspaper was sold by Mrs. Chases cousin recently, but at 87, her uncle was still spending eight hours a day, six days week on the job

The 'MiChigans'
 Draw Largest
 Baseball Crowds

DETROIT, May 26. = They are known as the Detroit Tigers but the name is deceivmg. They should be the Michigan Tigers.
 The Tigers are the only profess sional baseball aggregation in a state of more than 5,000,O00 inhabi- tants, and this fact, Tiger officials say, is one reason why Detroit con- sistently ranks at or near the top in home attendance in the Ameri- can league. Last year Detroits home patronage exceeded the mill lion mark. The year before, when the Yankees finished Is games out in front and the race was over by August l, the Detroit attend ance fell just short of 100000
 The Detroit management admits it receives tremendous patronage from outside of the metropolitan area. A few years ago. when Mickey Cochrane was leading the Bengals to pennants, even seats for week day games were hard to get and a cry was raised that the ball club was showing favoritism by giving choice tickets to out-of- -the-city customers. Since that time the Tiger chieftains have been reluctant to discuss their mail-order business.
 With so much baseball interest in evidence, minor league promot- CTS have had their fling in the past but always wound up with their pens dripping red ink, convinced that Michigan is definitely one baseball-team state.

 To Enter Race,
 Worlds SFaSteSt
By JACK HARDWOOD

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS Utah, May 26-Some of the fastest autos man has devised will roar over the worlds fastest race course here in the coming three months. The worlds automobile high-spee record of 31142 miles per hour may be cracked
 If new record is set, salt flat followers agree, it probably will be over the 320 mp.h. mark may reach 325 m.ph.
 Captain George F. T. Eys on of England, present record-holder. appears to have the best chance of breaking his own mark.
 The diffident Englishman will be here during June with his gigantic ''Thunderbolt," a mechanical mon ster that sped over this ancient lake bed last November at a top speed of 319 mph. 'Thunderbolt, !" which broke down several times with faulty clutch, has been re- paired during the winter.
 'Thunderbolt," no longer an un- tried racer, will be let flat out" by Eyston. Arthur c. Pillsbury American Automobile association timer, declared last fall he thought "Thunderbolt" capable of hitting 325 m.p.h.
 No matter what mark Eyston sets, two other racers will go after the record.
 Fastest Tortoise"
 Chubby John Cobb, a London fur broker, who will be making his first attempt at the high-speed mark, although he is Well-estab- lished distance driver, will invade the flats in August with a radical ly-built, turtle-shaped crea tio n that he has declared might hit $50 mp.h.
 Alb Jenkins, Americas only high speed driver, is hurrying comple- ton of Flying Mile" car in h. dianapolis for crack at Eyston's record The native Utahan will be on the flats during July.
 Both Eyston and Jenkins also will make attempts to break world distance marks in smaller cars capable of hitting an average speed of 160 m.p.h. for 48 consecutive hours.
 Tire Trouble
 Although the flats are ideal for high-speed racing because the salt keeps tires relatively cool and les sens danger of disastrous blowouts, the maximum speel of automobiles is limited by tire construction.
 Engineers have developed mo- tors and streamlining to a point where 400 mpm. would be possible but tires won't stand the terrific gaff. The next move up high speeds ever mounting ladder will rest with tire manufacturers.
 Starting at one end of a 13-mile straightaway, the driver seeking the high-speed record points his me- chanical bullet down broad, black line and guns it.
 Halfway through the 13-mile track he hits the measured mile. It is his time on this one-mile stretch that counts. The moment he goes out of the mile he must be- ping braking for the end of the

 Slips regarding the egg checks are on top of the boxes return ing from the creamery. Due to the necessity Of cutting expenses in every department, it has been found more practical not to issue egg checks the same day es the eggs are delivered to the croam- cry. Ege vouchers vii be drawn up and be ready the following day or the next time that cess aIe delivered. This may work he erd- ship on few for short t inc, but as soon as people become a6- justed to this pre ctice it will no doubt be found to be to the ad- vantage of everyone concerned.

Rushed Here

NEW YORK, March IL G.N.SO
"A rush of frightened foreign
capital, particularly British, to
this country was one of the. out.
standing market developments to
day from the German seizure OF
Austria and it's threat to European
peace.
Close behind was a crash in
Austrian and Czechoslovakian
bonds and pressure on the entire
foreign bond list here. Austrian
bonds were offered for sale at a
concession of points or $50 per
81 900 bond from last nights close
without any bids, while the Czech
issues were bid for a while 9
points under the previous close
of 96.
The stock market was less
affected by the crisis and the list
developed better tendency after
irregularity at the start. This re-
'flected the persistence of the

Education with "the corporate

The report, now before the

complained that the Boards au-
thority is greatly reduced by Con-
gress."
The committee, appointed by
the President in September. 1886,
made three specific recommends
tions for the local system, as fol-
lows:
l. Local autonomy for the
School Board, with adequate au-
thority to maintain and operate
a complete and unified public
school system, including pur-
chase, construction and repair
of all public school facilities. The
proposed new school code should
be kept current with changing
needs by appropriate amend
atory legislation, but detailed
legislation encroaching upon ad-
ministration should be avoided.
In particular. the practice of
including legislative provisions
in annual appropriations acts
should be eliminated.
2. The budgetary procedure
should be simplified, including
provisions for consolidation of
all school appropriations into a
small number of major funds.
8. The District should be in
cluded so far as feasible in all
Federal education grants on the
same basis as a State.
