There are "within tho sound of my , voice," ninco the radio, quite n num- j her present. Educators are looking for a new Miakespeare. They are likely to continue looking.

In Italy, or Sweden? If It Is true, ns a scientist claims, that the mosquito comesTrora Mars, then we have reached that point. The world Isn't growing any better; It just seems that way because thft girls have taken off their galoshes.

That will not be so bad if she can continue :o use It at the grocery.

This is a group of naval ollicers who in some cases have served as far back as lft!S and were formerly officers of the naval auxiliary service. It appears that In the days In which they took an active part in the navy, they received some sort of an Indefinite promise that they would never be relieved from duty as long as they were alive, and also that irr later years their families would receive pensions. The brancli of the service In which they served was organized in lS03-to command naval supply vessels. Hut In the emergency of 1017 congress arbitrarily forced these old-time auxiliary ollicers into the newly organized naval reserve. Under their auxiliary organization they were accorded the same amount of pay and other benefits as the regulars. I.ut since their enforced entry Into the naval reserve of 1917 thev have become a part of the organized rescTe, which under the present naval bill will be greatly reduced.

Not only Is It a wonderfully scenic ride, but the Mount McKinley National park, which the railroad closely approaches, will be an added attraction. However, tourist travel within the park will be possible this year for only the most hardy traveler. Not only are there absolutely no accommodations within the. park, but there are no roads and at present, not even a wellconstructed trail. The park railroad League of Nations rIRTIiS, marriages, mortality and health among the peoples of the peop member states of the League of NaHons will figure stronglv In studies n0v in progress in Geneva to pave the way for ultimate reduction of the size of armies. A copy of a draft program to guide studies of specialists selected by the league's temporary mixed commission lias reached the Washington government through unomVinl sources. The draft program was prepared by Professor P.entnl and submitted to the commission for circulation among the specialists.

Mr. Swing paid the unified project will provide homes and farms for thousands of ex-service men and women, as the secretary of the Interior is authorized under the bill to use the stored waters to reclaim arid lands below, of which the government itself owns about JiOO.iMjO acres, now worthless, but highly productive when water Is put upon them. The building of this dam will make possible the creation of 750,000-horse-power of electrical energy much needed 'to supplement our rapidly diminishing oil supply. Ready markets for this power exist In the mines of Utah, Arizona and Nevada, the railroads In the southwest and in the cities of southern California. The power privileges at the dam will be sold' or leased under governmental regulations which will guarantee an equitable distribution among the various states and communities. The proceeds from the sales and leases of the power will pay the cost of the dam. The cost of the irrigation work and canals will be repaid by the lands benefited.

He says that there are two simple means whereby the unfortunate condition cotdd now be remedied. The first is to transfer thoso officers to the regular service as an extra number in the grade out of the line of regular promotions and retain them for service on auxiliary ships. The second is that retirement pay privileges equal to those accorded regular officers should at l?ast be provided. The latter would cost the government only iv(WUXH) a year. for the Tenderfoot station, McKinley Park station at Riley Creek, Is about fifteen miles north of Rroad Pass, through which the railroad crosses the main Alaska range. Here Is being constructed by Maurice Merino, a local homesteader, a large log roadhotise to accommodate local travel. Mr. Morino has also made application to erect this coming summer six shelter tents within the park, which will contain stoves and bedding for travelers who, however, must bring their own food supplies. Another local lrmnesteader, P. .7. Lynch, will also conduct a madhouse at McKinley Park station. These accommodations are principally for miners and prospectors going into the Kantlshna mining district. The few tourists who may desire to get Into the park to view the wild herds of caribou ami mountain sheep to which the park offers sanctuary will be able to outfit with pack animals and secure guides nt McKinley Park station. Travel conditions and hotel accommodations along established lines of transportation by railroad, automobile and river steamer will be about as In the rural districts of the United States, but travel away from the established lines Is practically Impossible at present. and Size of Armies out ultimately into proportionate army ratios. The draft program even calls for mucis data as to emigration and a study of the activities and conditions of life abroad of such emigrants In order to determine the average number that never return to the mother country.
