How time flies!
We have been in Europe for
two months, and that means
half our vacation is over. We
live, SO to speak, 'The Life of
Riley" My sister is a wonder
full cook, and we live in a very
nice home.
Yesterday we were in Am
sterdam, where my uncle lives
in a home for old-timers. He
is the very last of the Sniders,
80 years old, and has lived here
all his life All his brothers and
sisters are gone. He therefore
has become the last of an I'M
broken line of shoemakers.
In the days when the writer
was a boy, when your father
was carpenter or a shoemaker
or farmer, you too followed
your fathers trade.
There has been a great
change in the last so years.
With radio and TV, the world
is made much smaller. When
we turn on the radio, we can
hear our President speak, and
can listen to French and Eng
lish stations.
Two daily newspapers are de-
livered to the door every morn
ing.
One l just read stated that
man murdered his wife and
daughter with a potato knife
then tried to kill himself and
failed. He was sentenced to
eight years in the penitentiary.
And l thought we were too
soft on criminals in Alaska!
There is plenty of work here
in Holland. Labor is imported
from Spain and Portugal.
Before w. w. II, theDutch
held a monopoly on the spices
and tobacco trade with the East
Indian colonies; but during the
war Holland lost the colonies,
with help, I was told, from
England who wanted this mar
keD by preventing Dutch ships
interned in Britain from leav-
ing. Today, however, only
few years after the second
World War, the Dutch have
more than half the trade back.
To see the harbors of Ans
terdam and Rotterdam choked
with ships of all nations is a
sure sign of world trade. The
Dutch were always great sea-
faring people and discoveries
Sometimes l spend half day
in the library and in book
stores. Only a week ago
bought an old book on Alaska
which some day will find its
way into the Matanuska Val
ley Historical Museum.
With the help of the librarian
l have been trying to find the
name of the ship and the name
of the captain after whom
Dutch .Harbor is named. There
may be chance that we car
find it in the Congressiona
Library in Washington, D. {
Next year, when we go t.
New York, we will make a triE
to Washington and visit the
great library.
On Friday we will show oul
Alaska movies for the old PEG
Pile of the city of Zaandam. In
vitations are out for all t.
come and see a free movie o
Alaska, under the direction o
the Division or Recreation TO
the Old Folks. Former Senate
Snider will be the principle
speaker -.
And so goes the day, tn
days into weeks, the weeks mt
months, and soon we Will re
turn to place we love and cal
our home-Alaska.

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

SIZE: In 1880, the New
York Giants football team and
an eleven made up of Notre
Dame All-Stars met in a char
ity game in New York. It was
to be a test of the relative
strengths Of college and pro-
feSsional teams.
The Giants were not giants
in name only. Each of them
lowered over his counterpart
on the All-Stars like Goliath
over David, reports Barry
Gottehrer in 1.-The Giants of
New York"
ION the first play Of the
game, Notre Dame Halfback
Johnny Law, a 17O-pounder,
took a good look at Giant
Tackle Steve Owen, a beefy
245. Law turned to the ref
cree.
Can you tell me- he
asked, how much time there
is left to play?' F"

tiSt is closely related to his
work of observing, listening,
questioning, reading, collect
ing data, comparing and
analyzing.
Students can proceed in a
similar manner. They can
defer organization and critical
analysis Of ideas until quite a
number are assembled. They
can make the arrangement Of
ideas, together with their
organization and develop
ment, a conscious process.
For example, in answering
an eSSay-type examination

simply this:

himself, What points could l

Q AS in all effective creative

Others should be numbered in

Gold in Your Attic
Poe's 'TomerIone' Highly Priced
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

Do you have a
"Tamerlane"? In November
the Gold in Your Attic column
passed its sixth birthday. As
we turned back to the first of
these columns we noted that
the first book mentioned there
was the rare first edition of
Edgar Allan Poe's "Tamer-
lane," no new copies Of which
have appeared at auction for
many years.
The last time one Of the few
known copies for sale was in
1915, when the Frank ]. Ho-
gan copy brought $15,5OO.
Although it was described in
the sale catalogue as the
finest" copy known, there
were defects involving four Of
the 40 pages. One wonders
what a perfect copy might
bring if it should be discov-
cred today.
The title page Of this rarity
reads:
TAMERLANE AND OTHER
POEMS. BY A B0ST0NI-
AN. q lines of quotation
from Cowper) BOSTON:

rule) 1927.
There is an ornamental
border around the title. The
binding Of the book is yellow
paper.
Have a Question?
Mrs. C. r. B.: You appear
to have the three-volume first
edition of George Eliot's
"R o omola" (London, 1859.
The original binding was
green cloth. Your copy in calf
is worth less than the first
edition in original binding. l
should think about $130 would
be a fair price at retail. 1t is
not rare book but scarce.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: When
you say, as you did in a re-
cent column that methodical
exercise is for idiots, l must
be an idiot. 1 am n years old
and never have a pain. The
first thing each morning l
take my exercise.
l have a friend who is an

exercised a lot or has been
physically active. But he
burieS plenty of them that sit

Of course, you won't print
this. But is makes no differ
ence to me.-Mr. P.

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: | am
IA years Of age. Recently l
read in your column about a
woman who had a child at the
age of AZ. She wrote to you
when she was so and the little
girl was 8. Most of her letter
was about how happy she
was. She did not think it was
too late to have children at
her age. (She has only the
one girl.)
This woman'S letter made
me think. When her girl is 16
this woman will be 60. And
her husband would probably
be around "a to 65. / would
dislike to have a pair Of par
entS that old.
/ mean, well, they would
probably be too old to get
around very well and that
poor girl would be burdened
at such an early age. And if
they died at age 20, their
daughter (only 23) would have
the grueSome job of tending
to the funerals. So many
worries are involved for an
only child with past middle
aged parents. l wish the poor
girl luck. She might need it.

DEAR ABBY: One day last
week l went into my garage
to do a little work, and there

playing inside an old refrig-
orator l had stored there.
They we're 8 and 4 years old.
When / think of the tragedy
that might have occurred if
that refrigerator door had
accidentally slammed shut on
those little tots, my blood
runs cold. l gave them a long
lecture on how they had no
business in my garage (the
door was cloSed), and then l
gave them a few whacks on
their behinds so they'd re-
member it. The next thing l
knew, l got a call from one of
their mothers telling me it

Professor Education,

Creativeness is golden, yet
1t is often charged that
schools suppress ingenuity
and inventiveneSS, and that
conforming students get the
best grades.
That schools should encour-
age creativeness is agreed by
all, but / contend there is no
necessity to choose between
creativity and conformity.
Any student can cultivate
skill in creative thinking while
carrying out such required
tasks as reviewing for exami-
nations, writing essay type
tests or themes. Authorities
on creativity say that it de-
mands the ability to direct

long enough to add them to
the list before continuing.
Under my supervision many
students have learned to use
this planned thinking in devel-
oping their themes and term
papers, as well as reviewing
for, and taking, examinations.
In addition to higher grades
there are fringe benefits.
Even personal letters written
according to this system are
more interesting. They, too,
show the effect of increased
skill in organization of
thoughts.

Usually, it promotes a good
