fContinued from Page OReJ the point made by the examiners in their report that an Alaska car rier with feeder lines, interested in generating traffic and giving one carrier service from outlying Alaska points to the States, can best inn prove the Alaska air transporta- ton system and would enable de- velopment of air cargo service to the Interior of Alaska, upon which Alaska Airlines placed emphasis in presenting it's case.
 Competing Service
 2-Certificaticn of PNA to Seattle would afford competing service be- tween Juneau and Seattle, would encourage development of air cargo service from Seattle to Anchorage and the Westward and would util- ize and strengthen a pioneer air service with feeder lines interested in generating traffic and improving the Alaska air transportation sys- tenn. Coupled with permitting PAA to stop at Anchorage, it would do away with the present necessity of I! transferring passengers and lag gage destined for Anchorage. 3-Permitting PAA to use An chorage either as an intermediate stop or co-terminal with Fairbanks would retain competing service from Juneau westward and would give to the people Of Ketchikan a through service to Anchorage as well as to Fairbanks It would allow PAA to give complete service 10 the Interior and would complete the competitive pattern to major Alaska points, as well as permitting stcpovers at Ketchikan and Juneau for through passengers to or from Seattle.

patriotic are penalized.
Both Parties Involved.
Members of both parties are in
volved in the new attempt to ex-
plore the present position and future
protection of the American farmer
Their technical excuse is a bill to
create two new Assistant Secretaries
of Agriculture. In a secret session
last week end they agreed to hold up
the bill and call Mr.. Anderson be-
fore them to answer the question
of why he needs assistants to do
the job which they think is being
done-and not well-outside the de-
partment. They have asked Ander-
son to appear Friday MAY I'D.
In criticizing the part played by
Messrs. Bowles and Acheson the
House spokesmen show no disposi-
ton to protect their former COL
league, Mr.. Anderson. They are
keenly critical of his optimism,
which has consistently led him to
underrate the present crisis. In
sarcastic reference to Mr.. Ander-
sons ex-presidency of Rotary Inter-
national, one said: Hes determined
to be Rotarian. he keeps insisting

refer to as "a New York advertising
man." or Mr.. Acheson in deciding
issues which vitally affect the
farmer. Their story is that if Mr.
Anderson cannot hold his own in
this fast company Mr.. Truman hao
better get some one who can.
These Are the Questions.
Committee spokesmen say they
will not rehash old mistakes, but
they want the answers to these
questions:
What are the future commit
ments with respect to United States
agriculture?
who has made those commit
ments?
Upon what information and be-

belong in the Smithsonian Institu-

was secondhand when I got it, and
the original owner used it to record
the thrilling story of Dewey's vic
tory over the Spanish fleet.
1t Is actually dangerous, and on
its more cantankerous days I sub
merge it in water as if it were a
time bomb, for safety's sake. 1t is
a bit aWkward-this climbing in the
bathtub to write column, but it is
better than being struck by flying
keys, knobs and levers. There is
never any telling what will happen
when I hit the keyes. AS often as not,
when I strike the margin release the
back spacer goes into action, and
the S sign and the % sign join hands
in a gay gavotte.
Held Together by Odd Bits.
My typewriter is held together by
odd bits of everything under the sun
string, rubber bands, hair pins,
bobby pin, etc. found out long ago
that it was no use taking it to
typewriter repair shop. Not only
have the repairmen more work than
they can do in three months, but
they take one look at my machine
and say, why, we only repair type
writers here"
One repairman did volunteer to
look at it, but he frankly admitted
that his knowledge of typewriters
did not encompass the plane of hair
pins and the like.
why not take it to a beauty par
lor or junk yard?" he suggested.
1t hurts me to hear such remarks
about my machine because it has
been a long and faithful servant.
I remember the first day I used 1t.
1t was at Lake Placid on the open
ing day of the 1892 winter Olympic
games. The press box was uncov-
cred and snowstorm ragged. The
two Of us were soon coated with ice
and probably would have frozen to
death had 1t not been for Benny
Rubin, the comedian. Benny kept
me thawed with warm drinks while
I Clipped ice off the chattering keys
of the typewriter.
Never Complained.
The old fellow saw Mr.. Roosevelt
nominated in 1882 and 1886 and
looked down on Hitler when he was
nearing the height Of his power, and
on Goering when that vicious blimp
was soaring high. It climbed an
Alp with me and was with me on
tragic trips to Portsmouth, N. H.,
when the Squalus was lost, and to
New London, Tex, when the terrible
explosion cost the lives of so many
school children. 1t has ridden in
gondolas in Venice and on LISTS in
the South Pacific.
Not once has it complained, not
even when I tried to change its
ribbon. There are few more pitiful
sights than that Of a newspaperman
trying to change the ribbon on his
typewriter. 1t is one thing he never
learns to do. In taking the old one
of it wraps itself around his neck,
leaving him blackened up as If for
minstrel show. The new one in
variably unwinds and fights back
like a nest of serpents.
When the day comes that nv
typewriter finally gives up the ghost
I plan to chip my stories out on
stone. There are some scholarly
newspapermen Of the old cane and
spat school who can think in long
hand. But not many. Most of us
are lost when pen or pencil is
placed in our hands.

person per day. This is higher thar
the average preWar diet.
Q. What proportion Of the cost OF
building a house is represented by
price of materials and what pro-
portion by labor?-F. v. M.
A. This depends, of course, upon
many factors. The cost of materials
for a house usually represents from
S. to IS per cent of the total. The
balance, IS to As per cent, is labor
cost.
@. When and where did the prac-
tice OF serving free lunches origi-
nate?-S. M.
A. The custom probably origi-
mated on the West Coast. A news
paper of November Is, 1856, de-
scribes the free lunches which were
offered by the Hotel Orleans in San
Francisco.
@. Does weather affect the run
ming Of a clock?-O. C. L.
A. Temperature affects clocks un-
less they are specially compensated
for temperature changes. Most
clocks tend to gain in cold weather
and to lose in hot weather.
@. Is succotash of American orr
gin?-R. G. E.
A. Succotash originated about 1920
when it was prepared by the Indians

very rapidly, while in latitudes
greater than 485 degrees, twilight
lasts all night in the summer.
@. What is the official baseball
Of the major leagues?-O. E. F.
A. The Reach American League
ball is used in the American League,
and the Spalding National League
ball in the National League.
