The act which prompted the awarding of this medal falls another class which is entirely apart from any of the motives previously mentioned It sprung from natural desire to do good without thought of impending punishment or hope of reward. This sort of action is natural result of breeding en- vironment and training It is not only spontaneous response call to duty, but it goes even farther Action of this kind implies previous study and prac- tice Lack of knowledge of how thing must be done often nulifies the result however good the intent may be Therefore to do the utmost good in crisis one must be prepared to meet the emergency. se
 Many recall that on October TO- 1888, Harold Peter sons life was saved by George Chickering, who applied artificial respiration after the boy taken from Ciastineau Channel unconscious condition. Through the request of H B. Humphrey, U. S Bureau of Mines the National Safety Council provided medal and certificate of award in recognition of that event. On behalf of the Council Harold E. Smith, Assistant Director of Alaska eco last week presented the medal and award to Chckerng while a group of his COC bdddes looked on. The presentation was made at the Forest Service warehouse, just few steps from the spot where the life was saved
 George Chckering might well be proud of this recognition May the medal always re- hinder of a good deed well done and may it provide inspiration for similar acts whenever and wherever the occasion may arise

Monograph Comes Back
0Cleveland Plain Dealerl

One of humanity's great but often unsung bless ings is the consong fact that many predicted catastrophes quite materialize Many examples come to mind An interesting current is the lusty renaissance of the talking machine and the piano after radio had been accused of sealing the doom of both
 When the radio a few years ago. became we'll nigh universal it was confidently predicted by many who claimed to be experts that the photograph had been permanently displaced from it's place of honor in the great American home and that the piano, which had already taken a beating from the talking machine, was destined to join the dodo in that limbo where the woodbine twineth.
 It seemed very logical But it never happened. It true that phonograph and record sales sumped with the of radio and that with music in the air available at the turn of dial, there less enthusi- for the family piano.
 But after very few years of depression the phono- graph back likewise the piano. writer in the New York Times notes that the phonographs great love springs from it's greatest hate-the radio He finds that the latest development, the combination of radio and photograph is leaping ahead popular ity at a pace which confounds the pessimsts of decade ago Thus in 1887 there were 62000 sales of such instruments. Along came 1888 with its famous recession in most lines But radio-phonograph sales jumped to 352000 Along with it a spectacular increase in the sales of recordings similar recovery is reported in the piano trade though the figures not striking.
 The reason for both these unexpected reyivals is that radio has carried music where il never went be- fore Millions who few years ago had very vague idea of symphonic music regularly tune in Tcs- canini and Danmosch If their taste runs in another direction the leaders of swing at their command. The music which comes by the air encourages emula tion Witness the amazing rise in school orchestras and bands while nearly every community has its neighbor- hood dance band
 All of this is good news for those who love music, as well as timely warning that it is never wise to be too sure about what may happen ten years hence.

JUSTICE FOR ALABAM

The Indian liquor bill ba;tle IS oVer' lile HoiS0 has tabled apparently for keeps, Senator c. h. La RovteaFs measure which would have prohibited Saie If intoxicants to the indian Eskimo and Aleut resi- dents of Alaska. ,
 Over the battlefield there still hangs cloud ho" o,ar If is cloud on the fair name of the Senator foo rivenpood and is one which should be dlspeHed
 Throrghout the fight against the Indian hquor hill if was inferred by it's opponents that the measure was one which Senator LaBoyteaux had thought up all by himself
 The warcrv was against Aabam and the attack was made against him personally, in large degree lie was eve1 called dictator" at the hearing in the House the other night
 No one is less dictator than MT. LaBoyteaux His bill was introduced at the urgent request oi ol fcials Indians from the Interior and citizens gen. eraly.
 Tn until the time the bill turned i'll, probably q5 nercent of the people of the Territory (and this includes a good many Natiyes), were convinced ol the need for some such piece of legislation
 Some of the people who had implored MT La Boyteaux to introduce the bill deserted him as soon as it became apparent there was opposition to the measure. He fought the Indian prohibition 1ight sinele-handed In the Senate where he IS known and his good intentions recognized the bill passed six tostwoS The only ones voting agalnst IL were the First Division Senators,
 In introducing his bill, Senator LaBoyteaux was only answering demand from throughout the Terri tory and even from Washington. Among those who cited the need for such legislation was Secretary o1 the Interior Harold L. Ickes who on his visit to AlasKa in August berated those selling rotgut whisSey to Alaska. Indians and demoralizing the Natives, ac- cordine to an Associated Press dispatch from An- chorage
 There is still possibility, it was said in the cor riders this morning, that the problem will be solved at this session. This could be accomplished if the House would agree to receive the liquor permit bill oi Senator O D Cochran, which passed the Senate but which failed of admittance to the House by vote o ten to six Only more aye vote would be needed to get the before that body for consideration and an effort to revive the measure was being made today

A GOOD DEED WELL DONE

Back in Chicago there IS an ofsanizatloh KnoWh as the National Safety Council, organized for the ftherance of the accident prevention program which is now sweeping the country This organization gives recognition to mertorous service and also sponsors the award medals persons who have successfully applied artificial respiration by the Schaefer prone pressure method.
 Last week one of these medals awarded in Juneau to George Chickering, CCC enrollee from St Helens, Oregon.
 In the course of tlman conduct, there are only a few motives which inspire men to action. First Is the hope of reward. Men do some act because they expect some sash remuneration its equivalent. Second the impulse to do not to do a thing may spring from fear Tsird an act may be motivated by hope of reward in the form of public acclaim praise
