Safe Great Circle" Shipping Route To Orient Charted

SEATTLE, (P)-A safe great circle" ship route to the Orient, cutting through the Aleutian Is- land chain in two places, has now been sounded and charted, the coast and geodetic survey an- nounced yesterday.
 Orient-bound ships can now pass through the Aleutians at Uni mak Pass and then curve south ward through a newly established passage between Kiska and Attu Islands, Capt. F. B. T. Stems, commander of the survey ship Ex- plorer, said.
 The principal route from Paci- fife Northwest ports to the Orient for years has taken ships south of the Aleutians. This summers survey work was carried cut by the Explorer and Surveyor and the new western passage lies oe- tween Ingenstrem Rocks, east of Attu, and Buldir Island, 50 miles northwest of Attu.
 By using our soundings, any ship equipped with a fathometer could make a safe trip through the passage" Captain Stems explain ed, "our work showed that many of the supposedly da 1geroIs reefs around Buldir Island do net eX- ist."

Seattle Recognizes Alaska Day

SEATTLE, (P)-Seattle citizens are reminded by Mayor William F. Devin, in formal statement is sued today, that tomorrw marks the 80th anniversary of the pur- chase of Alaska by the United States from Russia.
 Tt is fitting that the people of the United States, and particular ly of Seattle, recognize the import ance of this anniversary, for dur ing the past 80 years the vast wealth and resources of this great Territory have meant much to our nation,' the mayor declared.
 To-day, more than ever, we ap- preciate the strategic advantages of Alaska.
 We in Seattle and the people of the United States should do ev- erything possible to open and de- velop Alaska without further de- lay and to give her a voice in all matters of our nation similar to that of other states.

Of all the stories Of insect 1l1e, that of the honey bee is one of the most fascinating.
 Following I will tell in some de- tail the life story of the honey bees, because believe bees are the most interesting of all insects to make a study of. I want it to be understood, however, that their story is rivalled by that of the ants and termites, of which I will tell more about after l finish writing about bees.
 A human child is born with a brain and a constitution inherited from its parents without knowl- edge and it has to learn to walk, talk and do things. A bee, ant, or termite is born with all it's knowl edge complete, and what it does, it does not because it learns and thinks, but by an instinct it in- herited from it's ancestors. Its ac- tions look like the product of req son, but they are not. It is only higher animals that can reason things out.
 In a beehive there is a com munity of from 30,000 to 60,000 in- dividuals so organized that every member has his or her duties laid down definitely and where the work is so divided up and shared out that nothing is left undone.
 There are among the bees of the hive three distinct classes. They are the queen bee, the drones or male bees, and last the worker bees which are all females. All bees ex- cept the drones are exceptionally hard workers and nearly kill them selves with work.
 The queen spends much of her time laying eggs, but the drones live life of luxury. They are of- ten fed by the workers. They spend most of their time eating or summing themselves, taking it easy.
 This may seem very pleasant life, but as soon as winter comes the drones are killed off by the workers. Special workers are picked to do the executions. They have done their work by becoming the fathers of the future bee colony and would now become a burden on the commonwealth so must be destroyed.
 The drones are very handsome creatures, but they have no sting and cannot defend themselves. In the days when they are needed they go in and out of the hive, pushing the other bees around as if they were really the boss of the colony.
 Before tell you any more about the life and work of the bee, I would like to bring it to your at- tention that the honey bee is very quiet and harmless creature if left alone or handled with little care. I have seen people get stung very badly by the little fellows, but only because they lost their heads and started fighting the bees and hurting them.
 To show you that the bee is harmless here is. what I have done with bees in the past years that I spent on the farm. I have had a whole swarm hanging from my

 Wilson's Blast Recalled
 As a result, Governor Goodland vetoed the appeal. Upon the sher- if, he said, rests the responsibil- ity for maintaining law and order in Milwaukee county" The sher- if must show he can't cope with the situation before a petition for troops can be considered.
 Goodland's declaration recalled to old-timers. the action that the late Woodrow Wilson took in a similar case. That was when he served as governor of New Jer- sey prior to 1912.
 The sheriff of New Jersey County appealed for troops, but Wilson, despite his academic back ground-as a university professor and president of Princeton = re- piled in rough and ready language.
 If you have the guts, you have the power to maintain peace" he told the sheriff. Under the law you can deputize every able-bodied man in the county
 Tough Controversy
 Goodland wasn't quite as caus- tic as Wilson, but he made it equal ly plain that sheriff must have exhausted every means, and in fact confess he's fallen down on the job, before an assignment of troops is justified.
 In the Allis- Chalmers strike, au- thorities are up against an unus- ually tough imbroglio. On one side, the union involved-a local of the CIO United Automobile Workers -is known to be Communicated. On the other side, the company is exceptionally hard-boiled and has a long record of union busting"
 Under such extremes, there seems to be little chance of com promise over the issues = which are chiefly wages and union se- curity.' The Department of La bor has repeatedly intervened, but conciliators have had no success. Both sides seem mobilized for a last-ditch battle.

Wisconsin COvernOr Bars Use Of Troops m Chalmers Strike GOOdands Action Recalls Woodrow Wilson's Blunt Refusal
 to Send Militia

A flareup on picket line is no cause for ordering out state troops, unless the county sheriff has com pletely lost control of the situation.
 That dictum was laid down this week by b1unt-spoken, 84-year-old Governor Walter s. Goodland of Wisconsin in rejecting plea from Mayor Arnold R. Klentz of West AlliS, suburb of Milwaukee, for use of troops at the strike-bound Allis Chalmers Manufacturing Company.
 Klentz sent off the appeal fol- lowing picket line clash between strikers and "scabs,'' in which some persons were injured, among them both workers and police. There have been many previous disturb ances during the eight-months' strike, coupled with wholesale ar- rests.
 However, Sheriff George Han ley of Milwaukee stood his ground against use of troops. He insisted that the deputies and police off cers under his jurisdiction-over 300 in all-"are better trained to
