miles of highways open only a
part of the year with one operat-
ing railroad and scattered travel
by boat, everyone matches the
challenge of transportation with the
airplane.
Ever since Carl Ben EilSen
brought his old Jenny" here in
1882, the story of Alaska's progress
has been the saga OF the airplane.
The old slow, uncomfortable travel
by dog team and boat is out moded.
Everyone travels by air during
the winter months. Trappers, off to
lonely traplines for a winters yield
of fur, charter a piano, often load
dog team and sled aboard with
traps and supplies, land a few hours
later at their headquarters camp or
on a lake.
Months later the same plane
drops in with fresh supplies, loads
aboard catch of furS and is off
to the next camp
Sportsmen, hunters, fishermen,
miners, trappers, fur and mineral
buyers, prospectors and business

y as the average resident Of the
states hires a taxi.
Accomplishment Of all this has
not been easy.
While weathc, along the south
eastern coast is mild the year

in the interior during October, the
mercury starts a swift slide tc the
seasons low OF go or 10 degrees be-
low zero. In April temperatures
start their climb to possible 30.
ALASKANS
GET AROUND
A land Of rugged mountains,
dense forests, swampy morasses,
Alaska knows no natural landing
fields. Only flying boats or pom
toon planes can set down on its
myriad lakes in summer. Ski
equipped ships conquer ice and
snow in winter
To provide year-round operation
airports had to be hacked out Of
forests, stumps uprooted, and land
smoothed or built up from tundra.
But airrorts have been built
more than 100 of them in Alaska's
600,0C0 square miles. Many of them,
however, are available only in sum-
mer months. Pan American Air
ways, through its Pacific Alaska
Airways, operates Is small airports,
approximately the same number Of
weather and radio stations for its
2125-mile schedules.
Tcday there are more than 100
planes in the territory, virtually all
of them small charter ships.

prevent these industries from

RAILROAD REVIVAL
The next few months may we'll
see the railroads pull themselves
out of the doldrums for the first
time in ten years. Rail traffic is
almost sure to reach new highs
since the "big depression" set in.
Railroad earnings will be the best
since 1890 and there will be open
ings for thousands of railroad
workers. The railroad revival may
be short-lived, however. Electric
power plants, textile mills, lumber
camps, copper, lead and iron mines,
truck factories, should all get
their cut" of expanding activity
Home builders should handle a
fourth again as many "Jobs' as
in the late months of 1899. With
factories frantically pushing ex-
pansion plans, many industrial
contractors should see their busi-
ness doubled. Building costs are
expected to move upward, too, but
less than 5 per cent. Real estate
values and activity will improve
noticeably, especially around ship
yards and in other areas where
the defense program is concentrat-
ed. Rents for factories, offices and
single houses may be little firmer.
MORE REAL JOBS
Naturally an industrial revival,
such as is now in prospect, means
more jobs and bigger payrolls. ]
would not be surprised to see a
million jobless people go back to
work before snow flies! Wage rates
will not be much higher-perhaps
only 2 per cent on the average.
The increase, furthermore, will be
due to the boosting of rates in Sc
lected jobs rather than a general
mark-up in wages. l do not fore
see any serious gain in strikes.
The public will not tolerate inter
ference from any source in the de-
fense job.
While things will look brighter
for city workers, I do not believe
that rural areas will fare so well.
Only moderate gain in prices of
certain farm products is in pros
pect, despite the fourth smallest
acreage since 1915. There is big
demand for foodstuffs in Europe,
but we can do nothing about it
as long as Britain's blockade re-
mains unbroken. Dairy products,
eggs, canned goods, cattle and hogs
are among the farm products that
ought to sell higher this fall On

BY ROGER w. BABSON

BABSON PARK, Mass, Aug. D.
Business in the second half OF
this year should be very active in
most lines-maybe the best final
half in history. More real jobs,
fatter pay envelopes. modestly
higher farm income, bigger divi-
dends than in the first half OF
1910, or in the final six months OF
1899 are assured. There will be no
noticeable gain in living costs. but
taxes will be the heaviest in a
quarter century. The next few
months will be a period OF intense
industrial activity as our mammoth
defense program gets under way
This defense program will put
the "oomph" in the industrial boom
ahead. If peace comes in Europe
before the program gets going fun
blast, there will be temporary
halt in the upswing. The longer
peace is postponed, however, the
greater the possibility that business
j. activity will break all previous re-
cords some time in 1910 or 194l.
Specifically, l estimate that busi-
ness in the second half will run
about 6 per cent above the same
period of 1880, and also 6 per cent
higher than in the first six months
of this year.
HALT TO DEPRESSION
Readers will recall that in my
outlook for the first half OF l940
I predicted a gain of 10 to Is per
cent over the same months OF
1899, but a downward trend from
the high levels of January first,
i. This gain was lis per cent and
business is 6 per cent under the
New Year level I also said that
we would have either a boom or
crash (no halfway courSe) in
the second half of the year. felt
that it was impossible at that time
to say which it would be. Now,
however, l predict for the balance
of this year real boom in most
industries.
Pace setter in this industrial ex-
pansion ahead will be the heavy
industries. Steel operations arc
scheduled to reach new peak for
any six months period on record.

Refugee Ships Can
Eydcuafe Children

The house yesterday passed anc

refugee children from Great Brit
ain.
The measure, by Rep. Thomas C.

neutrality act to permit American
ships to enter prescribed combat
zones without convoy to remove
children on condition all belligerents
guarantee safe conduct.
The measure applies to children
under 16 of all nations but the ef-

TO limit such mercy ship expedl
tons to Great Britain.
