The tour embraces 1000 miles of

young who travelled with him.
35 i'm Tour Party
The party consists of seventeen
boys and sixteen girls under the
leadership of George Spriess and
Mrs. Charles F. Kuhn of Detroit
who assisted Mr.. Buchanan on
former tours.
Western travel as a character
building project for young people
of the United States and Canada
was introduced by Mr. Buchanan
sixteen years ago. He paid one-third
the cost, the parents paid one-third
and the young people were required
to earn the remaining third by theii
own efforts. Boys 10 to II years ole
were eligible for the annual tour
until 1885, but since that year girls
also had heen admitted The Mar
terminated with the death of Mr.
Buchanan at his winter home al
Stewart, Fla, at the age of 10.
The destination of this years toul
will be Skagway, Alaska, and the
trip will be carried out as Mr.. Buch-
anan had planned, except that the
young people and their parents will
pay the expenses. X

A "FLORIDA COMPROMISE"

Uncle Sam, it seems expects every gun to pay
its duty
Miami treasure hunters salvaged 80 cannon from
the Inns. Winchester which sunk in a hurricane
back in 1895. When they attempted TO land them
U. S. authorities called halt
Customs men claim that the cannon are subject
to duty because they from British of war
The salvagers, however, insist that the guns are
not liable for duty because they have been in Amer-
waters since before the birth of the United States
nation
Seems to us that both sides partly right. AS
compromise we suggest the duty be levied-but that
ii be paid to the Seminole Indians

Highway to Alaska
Seattle Post-Intellieencerl


Congress has at last given tangible evidence of
its approval of a plan to create International
highway to Alaska. With few dissenting voices
congressman have granted a small appropriation to
the international highway commission which will
make possible the setting up of a skeleton organiza-
ton for exploratory work.
A highway through Canada to Alaska has long
been dream of the Pacific Northwest. To the
Northwest such highway means sharply facilitated
commerce with increasingly important Alaska.
An international highway has also been the
long-sought goal of far-sighted citizens interested
in Northwest defense
AS The Post-Integencer has frequently pointed
out, Alaska is the outpost for attack from the Far
East Both the army and the navy, through their
requests for appropriations to construct air bases
in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, have added the
weight of military authority to this contention
Fortunately for those who believe in and who
have worked for international highway, Canada
has also recognized its value and is ready to CO.
operate
Congress is to be congratulated for its decision
Because of it Americans and Canadians will meet
on call from Congressman Warren G.. Magnuson in
the future to further the program And as a
result of this meeting there should be and will be
removed another barrier to Northwest and Alaskan
development.

The proposed road to Alaska, at first little else
than a hopeful dream, is certainly taking more
practical shape. The further the projected enter
prise is studied the greater do it's latent possibilities
and usefulness appear AS the commission, now en-
gagged in gathering dependable data and informa-

from the standpoint of highway location continue
their duties, the more clearly is this The
whole question is being gradually removed from the
region of speculation and uncertainty to acquain-

Students Prefer
| Jobs, No Subsidy,
| Survey Shows

American students are opposed
to Government aid in financing
their educatio according to sur
vey of Is universities reported by
Dean Carl w. Alderman of the
Columbia Graduate School OF
Journalism.
Part-time work is favored over
Government assistance, loans and
scholarships, the survey disclosed.
Only IA per cent of the students
interviewed considered aid by the
Federal or State governments as de-
sirable. said Dean Alderman.
This, think. may be interpreted as
vote Of confidence in the continual
ton of the student-aid policies Of
educational institutions
The survey was directed by Prof.
Elmo Roper and included repre-
sentative cross section of the eco
nomic groups among freshmen,
sophomoreS, juniors and seniors in
the following institutions: Harvard
Brown. Syracuse, Columbia, Tulane,
Alabama, Vanderbilt, Minnesota.
Northwestern, Iowa, Oklahoma
Michigan State, Ohio State, Cali
fornia and Washington.
The largest group. 42.5 per cent
prefers part-time employment as
the best way for capable but needy
students now in colleges or in uni
versities to get financial assistance.
The second major group, 1928 pei
cent, favors scholarships. Only
AS per cent consider university OF
private loans desirable. The small
lest group, IA per cent. would be re-
ceptive to Federal or State aid.

Dorothy Dix Says
Disastrous Marriages May Be
Prevented bv Using Tact

when boys and girls are most touchy.
Their egotism is raw and cannot
bear rough handling. They think
their judgment and taste are In
fallible and they feel older than
they do when they are 80. Hence
they resent every implication that
they are not perfectly capable Of
making the most momentous de-
cision Of their whole lives.
But what are the parents to do
to save their children from making
disastrous marriages? A worried
mother, confronted with this prob
lem, writes me: I'VE have 17-year-
old daughter who thinks herself In
love with q 20-year-old boy. He is
a petted, spoiled Mammas boy who
has never made a dollar in his life
and doesn't know how to make one.
We are very ambitious for our girl to
go to college, which will take four
more years, and to see something Of
the world and have friends among
desirable young men before she
makes a choice Of husband. There
could be nothing but misery and
poverty for her and doubtless di-
vorce If she marries this lad now.
How can we prevent the tragedy"
Cease your opposition to the boy
and play for time. Boy-and-girl
love affairs will nearly always wear
themselves out II you will only give
them a chance. And give absence
an opportunity to do its perfect
work. Send your daughter of to
college, where she will meet new
people, new boys with new lines with
whom the boy back home will be
brought in contrast. Believe me, he
won't look the same to her when she
sees him again.

and pale yellow for the matron Of
honor. Originality such as this 10
charming in a wedding, but seems
to us to be particularly appropriate
for a garden setting-and not %
adaptable to the solemnity Of .
church.
Typically demure was the we'd
ding ensemble presented by one OF
our largest shops at a recent FASH
ion show. The bride wore-of all
things-white piqus, made with
square neckline, short puffed sleeves
and long train. Most interesting
was the fact that her dress had
beading about IL inches from the
hem. She wore a white tiara effect
of pique, and her attendents had
identical dresses minus the train
and veil, of course. In that we'd
ding procession, the bridesmaids
carried tiny white baskets Of bright
spring flowers, and the effect was
charming. Incidentally, new flower
arrangements lend an outstanding
effect. Now, the bride may carry
flowers in a fan or chatelaine, often
repeating the flowers OF her head
dress. Flower bracelets for the
bridesmaids, or, If they number
more than two, a flower chain car
ried in deep swags has been sug-
gested by one fashion authority
and the effect should be lovely.
All around town, stylists and buy
ers are delighted with the idea of
new and unusual weddings. There's
only one thing breaking their re-
spective hearts. why, oh, why"
they burble, will girls choose blue
for weddings when they've never
worn it before and never will again
Somebody ought to put q stop to
it,"
Well, the idea seems to be that
blue is the sentimental color-and
men are supposed to be very fond
Of it. Could that have anything to
do with the situation? Right the
first time!
