Man bout

Bv George Tucker

NE YORK, Aug. 5.-Have you
even cen a dream walking? l
have. It's the Broadway nightclub
proprietors. Maybe "daze" would
be a better word than dream"
Something's hit them. They don't
quite know what. But it all adds
up to this: Empty tables. Idle wait
ers. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe
it's politics. Maybe people prefer
to sit by their radios than 60 out.
In any case, the traffic is low, yet
the rent goes on, and the license
fees and the salaries.
We went into a club last night
with seating arrangement for four
hundred and found 43 people. We
went into another that seats about
300 and found S.. We went into a
hotel roof garden that can accom-
modate 300 people and counted 81.
They seemed lost and melancholy.
The orchestras were playing their
best. But their hearts weren't in it.
Their hearts were out of the win
dow with the breezes, or in the
managers office, wondering about
their contracts.
1t has always been stated that in
times of national and international
stress-such as wars-people be-
come imbued with a sort of to-
hell-with-it-let's -enjoy-life-while- we
can complex. This has been true
in the past. It isn't rue now. Peo-
pie would rather listen to Willkie
or Roosevelt than to Joe Lewis or
Milton Berle. They would rather
hear a news broadcast than pay a
cover charge for the privilege of
listening to a society" orchestra.
There will always be nightclubs in
New York, and some of them, will
prosper. But the old, crowded, jam
med-up days seem gone.
There is a stenographer in a mid
town hotel whose name is Janet
Alderman. All day she sits at a
typewriter punching out letters but
she would rather be playing Helen
Holmes on the top of railroad box
cars. She comes from Texas, and
twice she has fallen off box cars.
What, you will very properly ask,
what business has a young girl rid
i'm on the top of box cars? Abso-
lutely none But I can't help it,"
she c%onfesses. Its a sort of mania.
I've been doing t ever since I was
big enough to climb upon one. My
mother finally sent me to New
York to stay with my aunt-just
to keep me off box cars"
Went to the talkies last night and
saw MY Love Came Back" Grand
entertainment. -. Played croquet
in the afternoon with Milt and Es-
Their Caniff out there. I hadn't
played in two years. Later,
driving home, the radio broke down
just as a description of an aerial
dog-fight owe the North sea was
coming in from london. Cost
$4.25 to have it fixed THE
consenser blew out" the man said.
-. Which reminds me, I've got
five radios, and four of them are
broken. But if l have them all
fixed, then I will be broke. 4

P%ershing,'s Two Points

Declaring that mo war was ever prevented
by hiding the danger" General Pershing made
IA strong radio appeal Sunday night for aid to
ron of destroyers left over from the last World
war. England, he said, will soon be producing
small battle craft in great numbers, but they
cannot be placed in service for several months.
I'm the mean time there is great need for this
type of vessel to prey on enemy merchant
Ecraft, transports and submarines. It is o u r
plain duty, as a measure of self interest, he
ideclared, to turn our surplus craft over to the
British navy. Without this action on the part of
The United States, Britian's plight will be sad
Indeed.
Nor is this all the United States should do,
i'm the present world crisis. There should be a
detective draft, he said, by which the country
may create a strong army and a strong person
pei for the navy.
These two views so plainly expressed in his
broadcast represent, we must assume, General
sFershing's studied conclusions. They h a v e
great weight because of the generals former
war experience and present close knowledge
pf Europe's situation. 1t will be remembered
that it has been General Pershing's custom
Ito spend much time every year in France and
England since the Armistice of 1918. He is.
perhaps, better able to interpret Europe for
Americans than any other man in the public
bye. It is reasonable to believe that ships for
England and a ~selective draft for the United
Estates are, therefore, measures which would
be of great aid in preserving civilization as we
KNOW it.
Certainly congress would fall short of its
manifest duty if it reached a decision on either
question without considering General Perish.

and be able to take their places m our industries.
 It is easy to prove, that as a rule the more education people have the more income they receive, and hence they have greater purchas- ing power Money invested in the right kind of education reduces court and police expenses as well as old age expenses, relief, etc.
 The amount of money appropriat- ed by the 1929 legislature fer pion- eers, relief, destitution, etc, was $385,6 500; in 1889 ten years later the amount appropriated was Sl,- l45, 860 or an increase of 197 per cent over ten years ago In addition to the appropriation made by the 1889 legislature the Federal Gov ernment is matching much of what the Territory has appropriated.
 It is time that our legislators gave serious thought to training our peo- pie for our jobs, to be making them self-supporting by spending more money for the proper kind of edu- cation, less would have to be ex- pended then for such items as will be listed under relief.

This is the final oI twelve articles in which we have discussed many phases Of Education and economic We'll Being in American Democr- acy," the latest report of the Edu- cational Policies Commission of Washington, D. c.
 There is nothing in this report, nor the articles which have preced- ed this one, which is not applicable to Alaska In this, our American Democracy, every child is entitled to equal educational opportunity This does not mean that they must have the same type of education, nor in equal amounts. It does mean that each child is entitled to that type of education for which it is best fitted, and in an amount that will fit him for the needs of his particular community, or his state, or his territory.
 That there is illiteracy in Alaska cannot be questioned. There are hundreds of children living in places where there are no schools nor ad- vantageS. This illiteracy must go, for the less educated cut people are, the sooner they become charges Of the Territory and the Federal Gov ernment.

problem because of it's supervisory position over the British mandats for Palestine. Adler's plan was made i the base of a settlement in 1881
 which upheld the property rights of the Moslems but permitted Jews i free access to the wall and the right to conduct religious services there.
 Adler was born September 13, 1863 I in Van Buren, Ark, the son of Sam uel and Sarah Sutzberger Adler.

He also became lectur- CT on Biblical archaeology at the then new Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.
