Alaska or Hawaii: G.
Alaskans appear to do their
skating in the winter. We find
no Kinks listed for that terri
tory. There is one in the Terri
tory Of Hawaii. Its address Is
j. II. kimewa, Wiluku. Island
of Maui. T. II. II there are any

in the Hawaii directory.
Mr.. Fixit: A student OF eco
Monies claims that the 4. s.
government has not paid off a
bond issue during the past so
years except by issuance Of new
bonds. II this Ia untrue, how
and when was the money raised
to pay these debts !? II. A. II.
The national bonded indebted
ness was reduced nearly nine
billion dollars between 1919 and
1890. so 1t is obvious that some
of the bond issues at that time
were paid off without issuing
new ones. The money to pay off
those issues came from taxation
and other regular government
revenue such as tariffs. At a
time of economic stress such as
this, however most bond issues
are paid off by new ones.
MIR. Fixit: Am sending In n
question to settle an argument.
How many millionaires and how
many billionaircs In the U. s.:
We find 1t impossible to get
that information. Incomes of
81 100000 are available. There
were 81 of them in the last year,
for which We have figures; 513
in 1929. But many persons with
far smaller incomes have more
than $i,000.000 in property. 1t
is doubtful that any one person
can be called a Millionaire. For
tunes of the Mellon family, du-
Points. Fords and Rockefellers
have been estimated that high.
but in each case a number OF
persons shares the wealth.
Mr.. Fixit: Could you please
tell me the names Of some Of
the most successful photogra-
piers In all branches OF this
work: EFF.
You are too general. Not
knowing whether you mean in
the world. the United States, or
just Tacoma, we suggest that
you walk into one Of the COM
mercial photography shops in
town and ask one of the men
there for his opinion.
