FUR RESOURCES EXPERT ON WAY
 TO pR|BIL0FS
Ashbrook Believes Indus. fry Can Be Success
 full in Alaska

A brlgnt future TOT fur farming in Alaska as soon as the right man. agement formula is determined Is foreseen by Frank G. Ashbrook, m charge of fur resources for the Bu- reau of Biological Survey, who ar rived in Juneau today on the motor ship Northland.
 Ashbrook said experiments con- ducted at the Territorial Game farm at Petersburg, which he has just visited for week, should provide valuable information. He expressed opposition to the fox island type of fur farm, saying the only way to scientifically raise good pelts is to keep the animals in pens to contro feeding and mating.
 Here Before Ashbrook visited number of fox islands in the Petersburg vicinity with Alaska Wildlife Agent Hosea Sarber. This is his first visit to Alaska since 1922.
 Saturday Ashbrook will leave or the Bureau of Fisheries vessel Penguin for the Pribilof Islands to look into the fur seal, blue fox and reindeer industries. Also going to the Pribilofs on the Penguin are Seton Thompson of the Bureau of Fisheries, George Gibbons of the Fouke Fur Company and party of blubberers for the seasons work. LIFE MAGAZINE

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles z. Trdce1DeH.

A strange gnawing sound filled the air
Of the entire neighborhood.
Six o'clock in the morning and not .
whisper except this gnawing, rasping
noise.
1t came from the trees.
1t was the sound of squirrel teeth
cracking nuts.
The gnawing came from so many
points, and was being carried on by SO
many of these arboreal rodents at the
same time, that the sound took on an
entirely new character.
1t earned the dignity of being sort Of
music, rather than a noise.
This is food gathering time for the
squirrels.
They have been at it all summer, as
matter of fact, burying everything
from walnuts to sunfiower seeds.
They often come romping along the
telephone wires with big walnuts in their
mouth.
Just how many squirrels we have in
our block is not known, but it must vary
between 10 and 20, with sometimes few
more which may have wandered in from
the next block.
They have more oaks there, and there
is nothing a squirrel likes better than
an oak tree, unless it is walnut.
One of these trees Of childhood's men,
ory stands just across the way.
There all day long the busy sound, of
squirrel gnawing fills the air.
Every morning the busy housewife
comes out with her broom and sweeps
away the litter.
The sidewalk Is covered with the bits
of walnut shells. The mess would be bad
enough, in itself and as mess, but that
is just half of it. The other half is the
stain which the shells make on the walk
Only when winter comes, with its cold
rains and SHOWS, will the stains be
washed away. All the nuts are gone,
then, and the rodents sleep in the trees
near the hidden store.
- =
This springs crops of squirrels are
growing up.
They have very white stomachs and
of course, are much smaller than their
elders. But they are just as full of life
Perhaps no animal maintains its pep
10 more advanced age, relatively, than
the common squirrel.
You never see old squirrels, as far as
you can tell. That is because of two
reasons-one, this intense activity into
old age, and two, the fact that nature
has no pity. The squirrel which cannot
crack nut perishes.
Judging from that great noise the
other morning, all the squirrels here
abouts feed daily on the best nuts.
One may wonder if they find one-half
the food they hide away in the ground

election. To them, the end is vital;

election. To them, the end is vital;
the means unimportant. Some of
them have practiced every deception
and will stoop to any device that
they think may attract the support
of this or that group on election day.
In some cases these tactics have
been successful, but the result re-
fleets no credit on American politics.
Mr.. Wilkes fortnight statement
was made in repudiating the prof
fered support of Father Charles E.
Coughlin, or, rather, of his magazine,
Social Justice, because, as the Re-
publican candidate understands it,
the movement headed by the Detroit
priest is opposed to certain people
because of their race or religion"
In disavowing the support Of the
Coughlinites, Mr.. Willkie may or may
not have diminished his chance of
being elected. But that is a sec
ondary consideration. The important
thing is that he establishes himself
as a man of principle, candidate
who will not sacrifice his self-respect
even to win an election.

No doubt these rodents are a great
help to forestation, burying walnuts and
others in places where they might not
fall.
There is not a summer which does not
reveal several walnut saplings coming
up, often in the most unlikely places.
There is no question as to how they
came there.
The squirrels did it.
$50
Now that autumn is just around that
famous corner, all the squirrels are get
ting ready for the cold. Not only are
they hiding food at an increased rate,
but their shabby summer coats are
thickening. Their tails are getting bushy
again.
A squirrel takes great pride in his tail
and no wonder, for we are convinced
that 1t has both mental as well as
physical aspects for him.
Any one who has watched these busy
fellows. veritable steel springs in fur,
will be willing to agree, we believe, that
there is nothing about squared which
is more characteristic than its tail.
The way it has of eurving it over its
back, as it sits hunched up over a nut,
is unique in the animal kingdom.
Ask child to draw squirrel and the
tail is the first thing it thinks Of. That
silhouette would spell squirrel" in any
language.
Without its tail squirrel would be
helpless in the trees, where it lives most
of its life.
Minus its tail 1t would lack the balanc-
ing ability which distinguishes it. What
other animal, indeed. could do the tight
rope act along telephone wire?
No other animal has such a tail, so
wide, so fluffy, so well adapted for bal
ancing it in its great leaps from the
smallest of branches to equally small
branches in another tree.
Without It's tail, a squirrel would be a
sorry figure Of an animal, and one
unable to leap safely from tree to tree
tailless squirrel, one may feel con-
WINGED, also would lack that certain
impudence and self-confidence which is
his in nature.
He would not feel right at all, but
would go hang his head at the lack OF
the banner at the other end.
One may wonder, as to many animals
just why nature gave them tails at all
But with the squirrel this is no ques-
ton. In fact, it might almost be said
that a squirrel is great tail, first and
foremost, a perfect example Of the OLD
saw about the tail wagging the dog
except that this isn't dog, but a busy
independent, handsome and waggish
rodent known among us as squirrel to
this day.

French Thinkers Credited
For Republican Motives.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
The rock of envy and selfishness upon
which the first republic was wrecked is
precisely the dangerous ground toward
which our own Republic is driving with
great speed. After all, we are republic,
and obtained Our idea of the Constitu-
ton, in most part, from French philoso-
pliers of the 18th century, such as
Montesquieu and Rousseau. We might,
also remember that Beccaria taught that
arbitrary or cruel interference with per-
sonal liberty is not in accordance with
dictates Of nature.
Benjamin Franklin, Tom Paine and
John Adams were the giants, stepped in
French thought, who set up our Consti-
tuition. A republic was established be-
cause it aims to provide protection
for the minority" and the number
of successful people are always in the
minority" This Is fundamental and

culties when unusual tasks are i'm
posed on the service springs from
the long training and experience
that are Characteristic of those
charged with carrying them out, and
this is true because of the extent
to which the career-service principle
has been fostered in the Post Office
Department.
Invariably, these administrators
are the product of competitive civil
service who have come up through
the ranks, and no better argument
could be advanced in behalf of a
strong civil service system through
out the Government than Is fur
niShed by the functioning of this
organization.
1t is point that well might be
considered by Congress in view Of the
long delay to which the RamSpeck

Just Another Job

The alien registration law has
given Uncle Sam one more unusual
task, and, as often is the case, the
postal service has been called upon
to perform it. In some 1900 post
offices, the same effortless machine
that functions the year around has
been quietly geared for registering
and fingerprinting more than three
and one-half million non-citizens,
and the work is proceeding without a
hitch.
The present occasion is the fourth
in the past half dozen years in which
Uncle Sam needed an emergency
agency to make personal contact
without delay with millions OF resi-
dents-and found it ready and wait
ing in every post Office. The delivery
of the soldiers bonus, the oldage in
surance registration under the
Social Security Act and the I'M
employment census are typical spe-
cial assignments. In each instance,
huge expenditures undoubtedly would
have been entailed and mistakes
made, had it been necessary to start
from scratch and form new
agency for the job in hand; as it
was, however, the added cost of
using the postal force was incense
quential, and there never was any
question of efficiency.
Postal officials, with. customary
nonchalance, shrug off the regis
tration as "just another job but
