John, Mary and I.
@. While I have never likec
aren't ~" I have felt that it Is
justified by rule given to me long
ago by some English teacher. The
rule is that, in a question, the vert
should be in the same form as thai
expected in the answer, thus:
Question: I am going, aren't I?
Answer: Yes, you are.
A. Sorry. Aren't ~" cannot be
defended. 1t violates both grammar
and logic. To demonstrate that the
rule you quote will not work, let us
ask another question:
Question: You are going, am you
not?
Answer: Yes I am.
Thus, If your rule sanctions

Am you not?" One is as impossible
as the other.
@. Recently you wrote: "The
farm bloc is comprised of members

word comprise means "to include
to contain" you misused it in the
meaning of consist, compose"
A. Comprise is a more elastic
word than you indicate. 1t does
mean ito include, to contain" But
Merriam-Webster's also sanctions
the meaning: ITO consist or be
made up of; as, His family COM
prises five sons. To make up OF
constitute; as, The chapters that
comprise Part One
Thus we see that the parts may
comprise the whole, and the whole
also may comprise the parts.

The doormaker plasters her walls
with cement mixture of earth and
saliva. This tends to harden the
wall and keep the tunnel intact.
For this reason, it is easily removed
in perfect condition. After the tun-

is woven to the edge of the round
opening. The silk hinge is fastened
to this wall silk.
The door is thick, its beveled
edges fitting snugly into the tunnel
opening. Many layers of silk are
woven for this door, each layer fur
nished with sloping rim of earth,
the center layer being quite small.
1t is believed by many that the tiny
center indicates the size of the
first door made for the tunnel of

In the tiny ring of earth is care

William A. Holzheimer, United
States Attorney for the First Divi-
sion since 1888, today announced
that he has sent in his resignation
from that position and will retire
from that field of Government serv-
ice as soon as his successor has
been seated in office.
But Bill" Holzheimer, well-known
throughout the Territory since he
arrived here in 1915, has no thought
of retiring from the field of public
service. He plans to take a short
trip to the States as soon as the
new United States Attorney takes
over, then will return to Juneau
where he will re-enter the field OF
private practice at law.
Oldtimers will recognize from the
foregoing that Holzheimer's faith
in the Territory of Alaska remains
just as strong today as it did 81
years ago. At that time, Judge
William A. Holzheimer had just
finished four years on the bench as
United States District Judge for the
Second Division at Nome That was
the year the Republicans slid in.
Holzheimer was then, still is. one of
the best Democrats the Territory
has.
At that time, a few wishful-think-
ing Republicans had passed the word
around that Bill Holzheimer was 60
ing back to the States. A story
printed in the Daily Alaska Empire
on January 6, 1922, carried the fol-
lowing statement:
II have no intention of quitting
Alaska. I did not come to Alaska in
the first place as 'carpetbag Of
fetal, and now that my connection
with officialdom is at an end, I
expect to resume the practice of
law and do everything possible to
aid in the building of a great State

DarneIIs Return
From ! Months
Trip in States

Following a two months combined
business and pleasure trip Outside,
Mr. and Mrs. Rod Darnell, owners
of the Triangle Cleaners, returned
last night on the northbound steam
er.
The Darnells encountered no
travel troubles on their extensive
trip, and reported the heaviest travel
in the Southern States and on the
Pacific Coast. They found the South
teeming with industrial and ship
building activity, rivalling that Of
any part of the United States.
Ten days were spent with Mr.
Darnell,s parents, Mr.. and Mrs. D.
II. Darnell in Tennessee. The latter
had Just celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary with six of
their ten children present for the
happy event, and both are enjoying
the best of health.
Christmas was spent with Mrs. OAR
nell's parents at Mobile, Alabama.
While there they met and talked
with Frank Boykin, Congressman
from Alabama, who has been in
Alaska and is a great booster for
the Territory.
At Ball Game
Returning to the West Coast, Mr..
and Mrs. Darnell attended the East
West football game in San Francisco
on New Years Day. In spite of the
score ending in tie, the game was
thrilling, they reported, and very
colorful, with 46 bands participating
at the event.
Rotary clubs in the various cities
were visited by Mr. Darnell, includ-
ing talk with Past District Gov
ernor of Rotary Marshall Cornett
and his wife. While stopping in at
the Rotary Club in Vancouver,
WASHINGTON, Mr.. Darnell encoun'
tered District Governor Robert
Cheyne. The latter divulged plans
for visit to Alaska on official bust
ness in the early spring.
Meet Alaskans
The travellers met many Alaskans
and others we'll known in the Ter
ritory on their Journey including
Mary Council in Washington, Bill
Bates, John Hellenthal, Jr., in San
Francisco, Pvt. Ben Mullen in New
York City and Mr.. and Mrs. ALT
Monsen in Seattle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Darnell are very
glad to be back in Juneau, and spoke
appreciatively of the mild weather.
Some real winter weather was seen
in the States, including blizzard
in Tennessee.
