 In practice it is only necessary for the pilot to keep the image of the fuselage of the little airplane which appears upon the glass centered in this circle and to prevent the short green line which indi- cates his air speed from falling below the stalling mark on the glass. As reassuring checks, lights in the upper of the instrument flash respectively when the plane is within 1000 feet of the airports edge and when actually over its boundary.
 With announcement recently by the Civil Aero nautcs Authority that it is ready to proceed with the installation of the bent beam and marker blind landing system at ten out of 25 important airports and the perfection of the new flight ray, the long struggle to free air transport from the handicaps of thick weather hears it's end. It is reasonable to expect that very now, after further test ing of the new ground installation and the new instrument transport flying will be able to operate completely without impeachment by fog or cloud.

GOOD CUSTOMERS ARE PROSPEROUS
 PEOPLE

Though total Alaska commerce during 1889 showed drop, compared to the prosperous years of 1886 1887 and 1888 it is encouraging to note in the annual report of Collector of Customs James J. Connors that during the past year more goods and merchandise were imported into Alaska than ever before
 In 1889 Alaskans bought better than $440O0000 worth from the States. This does not include a large amount Of merchandise shipped into the Ter ritory by parcel post and another large amount of U S. Government shipments for which customs declaration is required
 It used to be that hands were thrown up in horror when a section found 1t importing large amounts of goods from elsewhere This thought to mean that the country was going to the economic dogs All the emphasis placed upon the So called favorable balance of trade in which more was exported than was brought back in return
 This thesis, that section is best off when it is exporting most, has been disproved many times most recently by Secretary of State Corde Hull who demonstrated to Congress last month that the most prosperous years the United States ever experi- enced were those in which the balance of trade trended the other way and were enjoying the bounty of the rest of the world well as own. A small import list is sign, not of self-sufficency but of poverty.
 For many years Alaska has been shipping out more than has been coming back in return. This though we do not like to admit it, has the effect udng too little in recompense Continued indefin- itely it is easy the process would make poor country of Alaska
 So when the Territory is shown to have imported $44,0o0,0o0 worth of products in year it means simply that the people of Alaska enjoying $44, 100000 worth of the good things of this world which go to build permanent and satisfied population.

War Inventions
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The British and French are to pool their war inventions Though it may be doubted if even Gov ernment physicists and chemists will introduce any revolutionary method of dealing death more is to be expected from them than from the city clerk and farm mechanic who in times like these lie awake nights thinking of ingenious ways to blot out the whole German Army
 It is easy to believe that the British Ministry of Supply is already considering three hundred in- ventions a week. as we are informed by dispatch from London. During the World War the Naval Consulting Board, with Edison at it's head, passed on no fewer than 1000 inventions. Of this huge number some 10989O proved to be worthless on first examination Of the no sent to committees for further study just was accepted-a mechanism of minor importance for testing the ability of air pilots to withstand the sickening motions of an airplane in combat. Not one proposal for detecting and destroying submarine was of any consequence. Similarly the Invention Section of the General Staff of our army received 25,000 suggestions, of which but 25 escaped immediate rejection.
 Fairly typical of the class of well-meant but futile inventions that conscientious military author- ties must weigh is method for fouing airplane propeers at great heights which has figured in the news. Fire a shell to altitude of five miles, let it blow off its nose let the pull out first hundreds of feet of steel tape cable and then a parachute let the parachute sink with the entangng tape or cable to the ground-it seems simple and plausible catching flies sticky paper. But when the whose business it is to drive off bombers examine the idea critically they ask devas tating questions. For instance, if shell must be fired in the first place why let it be shrapnel? Nothing deadlier in the form of an artillery pro- jectile has yet been invented Blackouts make it difficult to bomb fortified positions and munitions works at night and parachute geaming in the is its danger signal. Besides, it takes but few minutes for the whole contraption to reach the ground. We suspect that the British will keep on firing shrapnel.

BLIND LANDINGS

new flight ray to facilitate routine blind landings, reported recently before the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences is the result of many months intensive effort to simplify the increasing complex instrumentation of modern arpanes. The ray combines on one small viewing glass all the es- sentia information which the pilot needs to enable him to fly true course by instrument and to con- plee his flight with entirely blind landing at any airport equipped with any of the several systems for sending out radio landing beam.

M o D E R N ETIQUETTE
 By Roberta Lss

Q. How much should one regu- late his tips, and know whether to give a tip of dime or a dollar?
 A. Tipping must be regulated by the contents of ones purse. It is really vulgar to be ostentatious and overdo it. When 9. person earns say $50 or $40 a week and goes around giving fifty-cent and one dollar tips, he should have a guardian.
 O. When giving an informal dinner, isn't it all right for the hostess to say, Just sit anywhere you wish?
 A. No. This is very confusing. It is too much like playing the old game of musical chair" The hostess should designate where each guest shall sit.
 Q. Would it be proper for a young woman to sign business letter, Miss Alice Jones?
 A. Yes, but the Miss should be enclosed in parentheses.

Expanding Pay Rolls
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The current employment report of the Depart ment of Labor is one of the most encouraging that Secretary Perkins has been able to present for a long time AS of December there were 100000 more men and women at work than in December, 1888 In their pay envelopes were $4,000,000 more each week than in November. Here is one of the reasons for the last-minute Christmas rush which delighted merchants throughout the nation.
 A December rise in employment is unusual. This is the season when much outdoor work in the north is halted by weather and when many other indus tries expect seasonal decline This time, Miss Perkins reports. a 390000 jump in retail trade en- ployment more than cancelled the decrease of some 10000 in other lines
 The December employment index, based upon the average of the theoretically normal years 1923 25, stood at 104 There has probably been some decline in January but it is always comforting when the employment indices pass the 100 mark. To be sure, they must go much higher before the unem- ployment problem anywhere solution since there has been large increase in population since 1923-25 But those who complain that are no better off than six seven years ago should look at the employment index figures for De- cember, 1882 and 1883 They were 651 and 79.5 re- Spectively

Representative Joseph w. Mar tin. Jr., minority leader of the House and widely regarded as the most capable politician in Congress, Is reported gaining in power as a dark-horse Republican candidate for the presidency.
 Martin, principal speaker at the Kansas celebration of the states 79th anniversary, parried the ques- tion of whether he was a candidate but predicted a COP. victory. He said surveys show the Republicans will win 312 electoral votes and 54 per cent of the popular vote. He be- lieves the party will carry the key states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
 Head of the Kansas delegation at the national convention will be former Governor Alfred M. Landon, Martins host in Topeka, for whom Martin acted as floor manager when Landon was nominated for the presidency in 1886.
 Martin has been lifelong resi- dent of North Attleboro, Mass, where he was born Nov. 8, 1884, and where he is now publisher of the Evening Chronicle in that city. He served as a member of the Massa- chusetts House of Representatives from 1912 to 1914 then as a mem- Der of the state senate from 1914 to 1917. After the war he continued to be active in Bay State politics and in 1924 he was elected a mem- ber of the 69th Congress. He has served in every session since that time and Twas elected Minority Leader by the 76th Congress.

National Guard Enlistment
(Juneua Emlpire)

Alaskas brand new National Guard will not be called out for a years training under the act just passed by Congress. This is the assurance Alaska National Guard officers have received from high Army officer. And it is logical that the new Guardsmen should not be rushed into inten- sive maneuvers alongside other outfits which have had years to learn the military rudiments.
 The Alaska National Guard will not be organized to go any where in less than a year. Even after that it is unlikely Guards men would be sent out of Alaska
