 As time passed. and their numbers increased, the Nan-yan-yi returned to an island at the mouth of the Stikine. But this was an inhospit- able location. The island, in winter, was lashed by the bitterly cold "Stikine", a wind which, sweeping down from the glacial country to the north, made life miserable.
 So the Nan-yan-yi again moved southward along the coast. A few miles south they built a town at Mill Creek, back of Wrangell Island on the mainland. and called it Chugas-an. or Waterfall Town.

OUR ARMY AIR CHIEF

In connection with the proposed great
expansion of our military air force, the
personality of the Army's air corps chief
eral Henry H. Arnold, who has been the
head Of the corps since September, 1888,
and is now So years old.
General Arnold was one of the army S
earliest aviators, and has been flying Of
ficer for % years, during which time he
has set many aviation records, the first be-
ing an altitude record of $40 feet in
1912, when planes were crude affairs COM
pared with those of the present.
In the same year he was the first
flyer to receive the Mackay trophy for a
reconnaissance flight in the vicinity OF
Washington in what has been described
as "an elaborate, chain-and-sprocket, 40
horsepower biplane of the early Wright
type" In this year, too, he was the first
military aviator to use radio to report his
observations.
Five years ago General Arnold again
won the Mackay trophy for his notable
feat of leading a group of 10 bombing
planes from Washington to Fairbanks,
Alaska, under most adverse conditions. He
ia kaeNn as an expert in general aero
nautical engineering, in aerial mass tactics
aud other technical branches as well as be-
ing one of the most skillful filters in the
army.
A consistent advocate of an enlarged
air force, General Arnold will now have a
leading part in directing the new program
which is expected to give this country the
most powerful air fleet in the world

ALL IS coNFUSIoNl


sponsored by the Internal Improvement
Board at Tallahassee and the County
Clerks Association combine to present
confusing picture in regard to the sale of
lands now owned by the State of Florida
under terms of the Murphy Act with the
Board as Trustees.
cas- far as the public is concerned, and
as this column pointed out awhile back,
the county clerks are ION the spot insofar
as looking for completion of the sales is
In recognition of that condi-
ton the clerks, through their association,
have requested meeting with the MEM
bers of the l. T. Board for the past three
weeks and the request has finally been
granted. Both groups will meet in Talla-
hassee next Monday and Tuesday. The
clerks VOW that definite understanding
must be reached at this meeting, or else.
The clerks insist that the l. l. Board
gave consent to the process used in adver-
Using and holding the sales early this year.
Yet, to their surprise and CONSERVATION,
most Of the bids sent forward have been
returned to them, rejected. The trouble
is. the reflections have been made for no
other reason than that the Board de-
manded other than the original base bids,
mostly in the case of non-owner bids, and
about which the clerks, or the bidders,
knew nothing.

adds up to confusing picture. Just why
the Board appears bent on placing the
Clerks in an unfavorable light, to the point
where they are seriously considering with
drawing from any further cooperation
with the Board Chats where the ''or else"
comes i'm is not at all clear and The Citi-
zen is inclined to back up the Clerks AS
ISOLATION in their showdown demands.
The whole matter of instructions to
the clerks seems to have been handled in
poor manner. Another example, is that
concerning the procedure to follow in
publishing the sales in the newspapers
throughout the state While the general
instructions covered the punching of all
sales of any particular day under one
legal head paragraph, many papers varied
from that rule and published each parcel
separately, with a separate heading for
each lot This was the procedure followed
on the original Murphy sales. A uniform
rule should have been given and enforced
in that matter-but it wasn't.
The Citizen voices the demand of all
Key Westers that the whole matter be
Strengthened out with dispatch at the meet
ing next week The County Clerks
shouldn't be left ION the spot any longer.

Conquest Of Fear Vital,
Christian Scientist SAYS

Mr.. Adair Hickman of New York
City gave an address last evening
IN First Church of Christ, Scientist,
on christian Science: It's Textbook
and Its Mission" The speaker said
In part: -.
"One of the greatest needs today
is the overcoming of fear. The in
creased means by which suggestions
of uncertainty and alarm may be
planted in the public thought
through evil or misguided propa-
ganda render it more imperative
than ever before that we employ
a sure method to protect our
thought. ."
Jesus frequently commanded BE
not afraid and His command had
the power of authority, for He un-
derstood scientifically that there
can be no real cause for alarm, since
God, good, is all; and He proved it.
Merely to warn others not to be
afraid is usually worse than futile.
We can allay our own fear and that
Of others with knowledge of that
science which removes the cause of
fear, by changing the basis of
thought from matter to spirit.
christian Science offers human
ity no empty optimism. The severity
OF the present conflict of ideologies
In human experience and its real
cause were clearly foreseen and
foretold by Mrs. Eddy over half
century ago. Nevertheless her faith
ful followers view world conditions
today with faith and hope grounded
on the understanding of God which
her revelation has brought.
Fear is the remote or immediate
cause of almost every evil. Only per-
feet love can cast it out. Christian
Science teaches that perfect love
gives the understanding of spirit
which banishes all evil. We must
scientifically grasp this, however,
and demonstrate it step by step, be-
fore we can gain complete sense
OF security"

Congress, Courts and

To Be Guests

Commissioner of Patents Conway
P. Coe will speak at the annual win
ter dinner Of the American Patent
Law Association to be held at pm.
Monday in the Mayflower Hotel.
In accordance with past custom Of
the association, the dinner will be
in honor of judges of United States
Courts in the District OF Columbia,
the Patent Committees of the Senate
and House, officials of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Patent
Office.
In addition, invitations have been

porary National Economic Commit
tee, to the presidents of the Amer
lean Bar Association, the Federal
Bar Association, the District Of Co.
lumbia Bar Association and of
patent bar associations in various
cities throughout the country. Ac-
ceptances greatly exceed, IN num-
bers, those of past years.
Sesquicentennial of Law.
This year marks the sesquicen-
tennial of the American patent sys-
tenn, the first patent statute, entitled
IAN Act to Promote the Progress
of Useful Arts" having become law
when signed by President Washing
ton, April 10, 1790, it is pointed out.
It is felt befitting. therefore, by
members of the American Patent
Law Association that Commissioner
Coe will speak at the dinner. 1t is
said he will review the American
patent system and discuss some
critical problems with which it is
confronted today. The system has
been the object of repeated attack,
but seldom, during the $50 years of
its existence, has it encountered as
severe criticism as at present, it is
said. To the system, however, is
attributed much of the progress of
this Nation and the position it now
occupies among the nations of the
world.
Would Preserve System.
1t is felt by members of the Pat
ent Law Association that the ses-
quicentennial of the system can be
commemorated most adequately by
q continuance of the system in the
form in which it has for so long a
time functioned effectively for the
good of the country as a whole.
William B. Kerkam, president of
the American Patent Law Associa-
