The alarming implications OF the
disclosure that the Washington
National Airport is a veritable no
mans land for police fully justify
the urgent appeal to Congress by
Acting Secretary of Commerce Fos-
ter for remedial legislation. Accord
ing to statements by Mr.. Foster and
by airport Administrator Hervey
Law, the existing uniformed guards
at the airport are police in general
appearance only. They have no
power of arrest, no legal authority
even to detain or restrain a dis
turber of the peace or other offender.
Since the airport is a Federal
reservation, Virginia State and
county police have no jurisdiction
there. The Virginia-District of Co.
lumbia Boundary Act halts District
police at the high-water mark on
the Virginia shore of the Potomac
River. The Federal Bureau OF In
vestigation has authority to investi-
gate certain major crimes, including
murder, on such Federal reserva-
ton as the airport, and so does the
United States marshal at Alexan-
dria, but neither can handle vio-
'lators of airport regulations or petty
offenders of any kind. AS result of
this situation, Congress was told.
regulations are openly flouted" and
offenders go unpunished.
Moreover, the airport is a no
mans land for coroners, too. Mr..
Foster points out that in case of a
murder or accidental death within
the reservation the airport officials
must depend on the cooperation of
the Arlington County coroner for
such services as he is willing to offer.
He is not legally obliged to serve.
The Department of Commerce.
which has jurisdiction over the air
port, would cure these serious law
enforcement defects by a proposed
law, clothing the airport police with
real police authority. If they should
need assistance in quelling a dis
turbance or handling recalcitrant
offender, the airport force would be
authorized to call on the Park Po-
lice. The legislation also would le-
galize a permanent arrangement
between the airport and Virginia for
extending coroner service as re-
quired.
The present state of affairs at the
airport is an open invitation to law
less elements to take advantage of
the law-enforcement vacuum exist
ing there. There should be no delay
In strengthening the hand of the law
at so important terminal.

Income Tax Time Brings
Out 1.-THE Beast" In Men

WASHINGTON, March Is. -WR,
- There's something about income
tax time that brings out the beast
IN a man.
The Internal Revenue bureau,
swamped by an avalanche OF 1916
returns, claimed today that when
some men file they lose all their
inhibitions.
There's the harrassed taxpayer
in Columbus, o., for example. You
know that space at the bottom
of the form which says DO not
write in this space?" He wrote:
who the He'll says 1 can't?"
Then there was a man in Chi
cago who attached the following
quotation to his return: From him
that hath not, shall be taken away
even that which hath"
That, you lugs," he wrote, lis
from the Bible. Apparently that's
the only part you believe in"
From New York city came an I'm.
usual return. The sender enclosed
partial payment. He also included
the proper forms and a check TO.
one half of a white shirt. He in
formed the bureau he would send
the rest of the money and the other
half Of his shirt as soon as pos
sible.
A taxpayer in Columbia, S. c.,
mailed in no return, no check, nc
nothing - just a note. 1t read:

cinnatl who sent in his return and
a set of false teeth. Il won't need
these anymore" he wrote sadly.
Il haven't enough money left to
eat on
The bureau is also expected TO
act as a Mr.. Anthony according
to some returns. One husband
in California wrote:
"Please tell my wife I have re-
ceived no refund check. AL her
friends have received refund
checks. She accuses me Of cashing
our check and spending it. Please
write and tell her as she won't
speak to me- :.
Not all tax payers seem TO be
worried about their wives. A man
in Indianapolis asked the bureau
how much depreciation he could
claim on his spouse.
She's all worn out" he explain.

Then there was the Tennessee
farmer who listed the following a.
dependents: One COW, two horses,
25 chickens, 10 pigs and one sick
wife.

THE KONAKADET

Facing Chief Shakes communIly house. the totem pole at the far left is that of the "Konakadet The . Eonakadet was legendary lake monster but in this pole if refers to a young man who slew the monster and went about in it's skin. thereby receiving the name "Konakadet" himself Briefly. it is the story of young man of old Kotslitan who had "mother-in-law trouble Because he gambled a great deal his mother-in-law dub bed him a worthless fellow. caCs- ing him to move out and live in hut hy the lake behind the village Ii was here that he killed the Eon- ekadet and found that by dressing in it's skin he could swim about under the water with ease
 He told his wife about his d's- ooyery but it was kept a secret from her mother. Later, when fam- inc struck the village the youG man often left salmon or halibu. al his mother-in-law.s door She. however. credited herself witl shamanistic powers for having haG this good fortune. When, one dav she found a whale at her doorstep. she required all the village to hon IT her thereafter as a great shannon which they did The young mat and his wife, however, laughed her arreganee.
 The young wife had been told b~ her husband that he must get baaE each morning before the ravens called. When he faled to return one time, fearing Ee had met with misfortune. ebe went cut iq search of him. On the beach the people found l"o whales. and be- tween them the Konakadet dead When the body of the young man @as found inside the Konakadet they all believed he had been swal- lowed by it They called him by that name from that time on.
 The villagers deposited the Kop- akadet's body in a tree behind the village and to this place h c young widow went each evening to weep. One night the water rip pied and she heard her husbands voice call to her. Get on my back and hold on tight" She did so, end he took her to his home under the waters. Occasionally people have seen the Konakadet and his wife and children. and such an occasion is said to bring good luck.

bay in their canoe a man and his wife ran into such a thick fog thal they could not see anything eveu the shortest distance away. Out ot the fog came a voice singing. IL said: We picked up man; you picked up a man. They captured a man, you've captured a man." The voice was so powerful it made alt the mountains shake and the water under the canoe quiyer.
 When the fog rose, the voIce came nearer and nearer and final ly the man and his wife saw h came from a tiny frog. At first ti-e man claimed the frog as his. but his wife said, No, it is mine" Sc he allowed her to keep it.
 When they got ashore the Wo man treated the frog like a child. She found a secluded lake and Jeff II there But from that time on the people of this womans family claim the frog as their totem.
 The top figure on the Kiksad4 totem represents q mountain where rhe tribe camped on the Stikre River. The next figure below Is the frog and below the frog is tHe old Raven looking down into ne face of the young Raven who brought light into the world
 The bottom figure is a beaver. The beaver is generally represent. ed on totems with a spear in is mouth because very long ago some peope captured a small beaver which they kept as a pet. One day ;Le beaver took offense at some. thing and began to compose songs and at the same time began dfs- ang under the ground on which he village stood He also carved himself a spear and hid il in q tree of the forest.

They said beaver could not carve such d hcmtitui spear with his teeth. This enraged the beaver so tnat he grabbed the spear and thrust i, through the chiefs chest, killing him instantly. and then struck his iail a@ainet the ground and the rhole village fell into Il e Follow he had dug under it.
 From this legend the people, yho survived the catastrophe, have since claimed the beaver as their totem and made a hat to further honor him.

 Another interesting legend in connection with the flood is told of how it is that each particular clan in different localities speak different dialects of the Tlingii tongue. It is a legend closely kin to the Tower of Babel of Biblical fame.
