Amazing Flying Boats Ahead

Igor Sikorsky, designer of the first trans-Pacific flying boat, told 500 engineers at a round table discussion of "The Next Five Years in Aviation" in New York, that flying boats weighing a million pounds or more, and capable of carrying 1000 passen gers in comfort and safety, would be an engineering possib- ility before 1850.
 He added, however, that they would probably not be economic, since frequency of operation is one of the benefits of air trans port. Continuing, he said, T do, nevertheless, confidently predict and planes and flying boats in op eration, or at least under con struction. in the next fiv years. of 100000 to 100000 pounds. The efficiency of aircraft improves with size, we have found. Speed will be somewhat increased also, to a point where perhaps 250 miles an hour cruising will be standard for land planes.'

Possible Index to Alaska Defense

One of the seven major air bas es of America established at Tac- ofna, and the enlargement of the military units of Fort Lewis, in the same vicinity, is making that center one of the most important of all the nations strongholds of defense.
 The character of the activities at Tacoma give some idea of what Alaska may expect to wit hess with the unfolding of the present large naval and army de- fensive program in the Territory.
 Tacoma Progress, published by the Tacoma Chamber of Com n1erce, refers to the latest devel- opment in the Tacoma area as follows:
 "A long time program of the Chamber of Commerce for es- tablishment of a complete divi- sion at Fort Lewis came a step nearer realization when the War department last week announced that the Third and Sixth stream lined divisions are to headquar- ter here. These are two of five streamined divisions to be estab- ished in the nation.

Seals Being Made For
 Xmas Sale

This year the Alaska Tuber- culosis Association will conduct it's sixth annual Christmas Seal Sale to raise funds for. the cam paign againt tuberculosis. Local committee are now engaged in preparing the thousands of Seals for mailing. Each year the res- ponse from the people of Alaska
 to this appeal for assistance ag- ainst tuberculosis has been great
 CT than the year before, and each year the Association has been able to widen it's field of at tack upon this disease Tubercul- osis is the leading health prob lem in Alaska. It was the pri- mary cause of death during the year just past. There were 215 reported deaths from tuberculos is during that period, nor does this figure include those resi- dents of the Territory whose deaths occurred in the States and were not re-allocated to Alaska.
 Speaking on the subject of Christmas Seal Sale funds and their expenditure, Harry G. Wat son, President of the Association said: We are often asked why we do not spend the money which we raise for the actual treatment of sufferers from this disease. Although the response per capita to the Seal Sale in Alaska, compared with other sec tions of the country, is very gen erous, the amount raised is com paratively small S5,400 last year. It costs about $1,000 a year to keep a tuberculosis patient in a sanitarium so we feel that we can do far more good by spend ing these funds for early diagnos is and for preventative measures. Each year the major portion of the money raised has been con- tributed to the Tuberculin Test ing and Early Case Finding Clin ics. Since their beginning these clinics have given over 1000 tu- bercuiin tests and have taken ov CT 5000 lung and bone x-rays. The Christmas Seal Sale funds purchased the portable x-ray ma chine, purchase of X-ray films and other accessories. The Asso ciation has purchased and distrib | Ited thousands of pamphlet on various phases of tuberculosis and has acquired a number of | notion picture films on this sub-
 feet which have been exhibited 1 n over 70 localities in the Terri .ory.
 We believe that the examin- ltion and diagnosis have been great help to the people of AL aska and that the people of AL aska appreciate the results ob- aimed and will continue to SUD- port our Seal Sale campaign"

 The committee also believes that the Presidents order to bring up the force of the army to nearer peace time strength also will increase the number of men at Fort Lewis"

Probably the next month will tell much of the story as to whe- ther or not the United States is to take hand as peacemaker in the foreign trouble. President Wilson tried it and the existing turmoil is a sad comment on the futility of his well-meant and capable efforts. Europe wants peace at any price, So long as the other fellow pays it. Ameri- can peacemakers will do well to consider a suggestion made by great teacher of a by-gone day: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you!

Current Comments From Washington

Washington has just witnessed the closing of an enjoyable and profitable convention attended by forty-six hundred postmast- CTS. The President greeted the delegates and spoke kindly of their work. He may well do so The public sometimes forgets that the Post Office Department does more than peddle letters. It conducts a bank of safe-keeping wherein there are no charges. It takes the census. It attended to the payment of the soldiers bon us. Nobody wonders whether an obligation really is wiped out, if the debtor tenders post office money order. There are few business transactions in which Jim Farley's men do not lend a helping hand in some way.
