ADVERTISERS whims
Every once in a while some
body comes out with q book or a
magazine article trying to tell
people that advertising is an eco
nomic waste; that if it. wasn't for
the cost of advertising they could
buy things cheaper. The precise
opposite happens to be true, as
every publisher and every adver-
tiser knows. If it wasn't for ad-
vertising no concern could do a
large enough volume of business
to sell his product at reasonable
prices.
Some of these same wrong
headed critics contend that news
papers are under the domination
of advertisers. I've run several
newspapers, and have studied the
inner workings of the business
for years. I've never encountered

There was ample reason for Mar

there was not single thing to show
that Warren Brownlee had anything
but criticism for the younger gen.
Grafton. He had been unrelentingly
severe in his judgments Of even the
most simple pleasures. Now. to the
establishment of all who knew him,
he had thrown the big house open
for New Years party. Its gloomy
rooms were changed into connecting
halls Of gaiety and laughter.
Everything was there to make the
occasion merry. Horns, whistles,
balloons, silly caps, streamers and
confetti. 1t seemed as if Uncle War

ALASKA MEN BRING BABY
 CLIPPER UP
'Robby" and Jerry" Fly Pan American Ship 10
 Juneau, Third Trip

The Alaska Clipper of Pan Ameri- can Airways belongs to the home team now, with the pleasant news being revealed on the clippers ar rival here yesterday from Seattle that s. E. Robbins, C"Robby'D, well known Pacific Alaska Airways pilot, was Captain of the flight.
 And with "Robby" as First Officer, was Jerry Jones, still another Pacific Alaska Airways pilot who has been working on the Electra runs until now and has made a host of friends throughout the Territory.
 The remainder of the crew is composed of Navigation Officer Frank Glen, Flight Engineer Ward Mclean, Radio Officer Dave Will Hams and Superintendent of Com munications, Bob Gleason, another Pacific Alaska Airways man.
 The clipper landed at Aux Bay yesterday for the first time since winter flying equipment was added to the ship. Staying overnight here last night, the plane left for Ketchi- kan today and may stay there for the night, going to Seattle Friday because of short daylight hours.
 The lack of flying daylight is ex- plained by the always hard to un- derstand fact that in going to Seat tie from here, one flies with an east erly rather than a southerly bear ing, losing better than an hour of daylight.
 Average flight time for the trip to Ketchikan from Seattle by clipper is now placed around five hours, with the Ketchikan to Juneau hol, averaging a little less than an hour and half, making the total flying time from Seattle to Juneau at six and a half hours.
 Three attitudes have been flown on the trip, with wind forecasts be- ing received for 1000, 5000 and l2,- GOO, foot levels, the plane taking the most favorable altitude.
 No announcement has been made of further flights, but it is believed the winter trial flights will continue until running of the route is thor oughly established.
