GRETTA GAYLORD ON ALASKA

One of the most remarkable-and notwithstanding documents to come to attention in long time is the report of hearings held last May before Subcommittee of the Committee on Territories and 1nsuar Affairs of the United States Senate concern ing the settlement and development of Alaska. First copies of the 254-page Government publication ar rived in Juneau yesterday
 The hearings were had in connection with the King g-Havenner Bill which would set up corporations to develop" Alaska by admitting foreign refugees in excess of existing immigration quotas. The colo nists from Europe would be allowed to to AL aska but would not be allowed to settle in any of the 48 States any other Territory
 The hearings remarkable because of the identity of the witnesses Gall but three four of them Department of the Interior office hoders) and the nature of the testimony given.
 For instance, there Miss Ciretta Gaylord of 6765 Groton Street Forest Hills, Long Island Miss Gaylord spoke up in the first place to challenge the validity of protests from Alaska which Delegate Dmond had read into the record. The protests, all in opposition to the proposed legislation, from the Chambers of Commerce of Juneau Fairbanks, Wrangell, Cordova Ketchikan, Valdez and Kodiak and from the Alaska Miners Association and Pioneers of Alaska. Reading the population figures for the various towns mentioned Miss Gaylord said it appears that the expressions of ssch small commun- ties as mentioned above devoid of logic since the local interests of small scattered settlements ought not to be used yardstick for the urgent requirements of entire unpopuated and unde- veloped territory
 In opposition to the viewpoint of these small scattered settlements of Alaska, Miss Gaylord of fered her own opinion We quote:
 MISS GAYLORD I American citizen. have been since I born. I have been in terested in pioneering since I was high, and I have read good deal about the pioneering his tory of America
 q think we have had Alaska for about TO years; the total population today is approximately 6OOoO of which a considerable number not Americans, that is whites As a matter of fact many of the white population of Alaska are descendants of the original Russian settlers, Who were not Americans

HOROSCOPE. "The stars incline
 but do not compeW
SATURDAY, AUGUST 3

Adverse aspects are strong today which is favorable to beginnings of many sorts. Preliminary work is well directed. Under this plane tary government it is wise to face facts and then to indulge in re- creation that will be refreshing The inclination for travel and change will be strong this month and next.
 Heart and Home: Women are fairly fortunate under this direc- tion of the stars. It is an auspici- ous date for Inequalities, especi- ally for those in which the young are interested. Romance flourishes mildly but positively under this direction of the stars which en- ables the head to guide the heart Extreme heat in certain parts of the country will cause illness among the aged. Violent electrical storms are prognsticated.
 Business Affairs: Manufacturers of shoes are to profit greatly through mass contracts and again the cost of leather will be widely discussed Highly trained refugees will find employment in many technical vacations. A foreign chem iSt will contribute to an American invention of note Large-Scale housing projects will be advocated as demand for homes increases in the early autumn. Economists now will offer panaceas for the ills of the world.
 National Issues: Radio discus sions of public affairs will reveal the growth of wise patriotism which realizes that sacrifice is the nec- essary price of freedom and pros perity in maintaining the ideals of democracy. AS the United States expands in world power there will be unity of purpose among na- tional leaders. Although proletarian criticism of preparedness policies will continue, the people will sup port the government enthusiasti- cally.
 International Affairs: American banks and banking will be greatly concerned with the state of Euro pean financial crises. The possess sion of so much of the worlds gold will become liability instead of an asset, if the plans of hostile powers can be realized Indirectly Uncle Sam will be paying good money to dictatorS as international banking and American aid to war victims lure many dollars from this side of the Atlantic.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of much good for tune in the coming year. They should be cautious, however, in all their business affairs. Legal papers may deceive.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be determined in char acter, inclined to domineering ways and able to lead others. They are likely to be successful all through life.

 PROVES HIT

!, WAYNOKA, Okla, Aug 2.-Rev. s. B. Nichols of the First Baptist Church has put the rural school bus idea to good advantage in boosting Sunday school attendance.
 If it works for schools why won't it work for churches, too?" he asked when he learned that persons living near Waynoka want ed to attend church but had no transportation.
 So the church acquired an old school bus and now it covers a 16- mile route every Sunday morning.
