COLLEGIATE NAMES FOR CHILDREN

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The Bardwells have little trouble naming their children, having decided to follow out the collee- fate policy established by their parents.
 Stan, named after Stanford University, is married to the for mer Loyola Munson, whose par ents felt partial to Loyola Uni versity of New Orleans. It was natural to call their son Stan. Jr.
 Twins have just arrived at the Bardwell home. The boy drew Duke as his moniker, for Duke University, and his sister was named Tulane, after the New Or leans University. Incidentally Dukes middle name is Kane and when both his names are said to- gether, they make the name of still another universally Du- quesne.

GAS MECCA, AND NO COUPONS!

SALEM CROSSROADS, s. c. (AP)-Residents of this mid-state community had field day when they found gasoline oozing through the top soil.
 It all happened after a truck with 3,700 gallons of gasoline overturned in a cornfield, resi- dents, alert to the possibility of obtaining gas without the benefit of coupons dug through the top soil and gasoline drained into pits in the hard clay beneath.
 Several hundred gallons lost from the truck were saved" to be carted away in tubs, pots, pans bottles and pitchers.

Captain Lathrop," stated George H. Greenwood, twas one of the original stockholders in The Pacific National Bank, which was organized b va group of Sc attle business men, among whom were a number of his close friends. In the banks fifteen years of business, it has built a substantial volume in Alaska. Captain Lathrop's official con- nection will serve to bind it more closely to that growing industrial empire. His entrance into Seat tie banking circles will, we feel, bring a portion of his genius and energy to Seattle industry."- Alaska Weekly.

has succeeded ln more varied territory building enterprises than do most men.
 Coming to Seattle from Mich igan a few days after the fire of 1889, Captain Lathrop saw the opportunities for contracting, sent East for teams of work hor- ses and exhibited such energy that within a short time he was working 40 teams, clearing the land for the new Seattle. He was known as the boy contractor, be- cause at that time he was but tWenty-four years old.
 His destiny seemed to draw him North, for in 1890 when Seattle had been rebuilt, he moved his equipment to Anacortes where he cleared the toWnsite and built the electric road from Anacortes to Fidalgo city, where he pros pered until the panic of 1893, in which he suffered severe losses. From there he went to Protec- ton Island, about 12 miles rom Port Townsend, and engaged ip chicken ranching. He was prob ably the first man in America to stamp the date on eggs to prove their freshness.
 Aroused by the gold strike at Cooks Inlet in Alaska, Lathrop purchased a half interest in the steam schooner, 'L. J. Perry, connection which won him the title of Captain" by which he has been affectionately known since.
 In his 40 years of Alaska life he has drilled oil wells dug for copper, gold and coal, operated a transfer company, cannery, constructed airplane hangars, been a merchant, apartment house owner, theater operator, publisher, steamship operator, radio station owner member of the Alaska legislature.
 He is now vice-president of the board of regents of the univer- sity of Alaska, and is given cred it for supplying the motivating force behind scores of develop ments in the land which he so forcefully characterizes as the greatest country in the world

KETCHIKAN - Delegate An thony J. Dimond, who visited Ketchikan for few days on the start of his first trip in Alaska for nearly two years, thinks con- gress will vote postwar statehood for Alaska if the people of the Territory decide they want it.
 The delegate expressed the be- lief that congressman will be sympathetic to the change if the people of Alaska-either by over whelming sentiment or by an ac- tual referendum-indicate their desire.
 He expressed the opinion, how ever, that the expression could not be closely divided if state hood is to be granted. That is, if 51 Der cent of the people favor it and 49 per cest are against it, then the plan might not go through. But if the sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor, then the plan can go through congress.
 The delegate said he has heard little expression against postwar statehood so far, and in fact has had many comments in favor of t. But on this trip through Alas ka he is anxious to get the opin- ions of as many people as he could.
 He said his bill to provide for the election of governor while Alaska is still territory is s. before congress, awaiting a fina recommendation from Secretary Ickes of the interior departmens,
 Speaking befor ethe Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce, Delegate Dimond said he personally favors statehood. However, he er1Qpha- sized that statehood-just as, any other advantage would cost money. Increased taxation would. be inevitable to support the in-

 ON BOARD
Alaska Industrialist Becomes Member of Directorate of
 Pacific National Bank

The Pacific National Bank of Seattle has announced the ap- pointment of Captain Austin E. Lathrop, Seattle and Alaska pio- neer and capitalist, as a member of the board of directors. Cap tain Lathrop's acceptance of the directorship will join in business relationship some of Alas1a's most extensive interests with those of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, according to George H.

Included in the directorships is an interest in the Olympia Brewing Com pany of Washington.
 According to the biography of Captain Lathrop, published in 194l by the American Historical Company, He deserved to be called, more than any other one man, The builder of Alaska" For in his career of 50 years he
