JULIAN WETZEL A general explanation of the won
derful resources and natural elements
of Alaska was made by Julian Wetzel, Indianapolis printer, and Kiwanian, in hia talk to the Kiwanis club
Tuesday.
Mr. Wetzel, having made a trip through the most importnt parts of Alaska, presented a thorough . outline of the wonders of the cold country by
the aid of a map. He explained that
the coldest weather which has been
recorded in the northern country was 71 degrees below zero, and that the natives of the country think nothing of a temperature of 40 below the zero
mark. Although it was cold when Mr.
Wetzel was in the country, ha said
that he was comfortable with a heavy overcoat and other apparel adapted to
the climate.
The speaker explained in part, the
general conditions in Alaska as fol
lows: "Alaska is a study like that of
the school boy's thesis, 'The School of
Earth and What It Contains. Alaska is therefore likewise too big to say all in a short speech. While I . was in Alaska, I traveled over 8,500 miles, and was in the most important areas. Big Gold Resources "The gold resources, as is known, were outstanding. After the miners had made their canvas of the gold districts, dredging was instituted by those anxious to get that which was left by the miners. This process washed considerable gold out of the territory, but the great difficulty of engineering cost so much that little was realized from the work in the long run. "In sections near the Arctic circle, the sun goes down but a little over one
hour each day. It seemed queer, in
deed, to go to bed while the sun was beaming in on you through a window.
One outstanding fact about this country is that of the growth of various plants. Rhubarb reaches a height as high as a man's head, and flowers grow much larger than in this country."
"Dogs are used in transportation
over the narrow trails, which are im
penetrable by other kings of travel.
These animals of burden are ltrr-e short of wolves, slightly domesticated. If the man in charge of these animals,
should happen to fall, the dogs would take him for prey at once, even though
he was their master.
Value of Doqs.
It is their instinct to take anything
which falls, as their prey. As long as
the man 13 on his feet, he is safe in
whipping the animals. The leaders of
dog trains bring as high as $300, while
others sell for $75. "Food prices are out of sight, com
pared with those in this country. Tomatoes sell for $1 per pound, gasoline in cans, $1.40; hotel room with bath, $6; butter, $2.25 per. pound; eggs,
?1.25 per dozen. In fact, there is noth
ing less than a quarter for sale in
Alaska."
Mr. Wetzel stated that a newcomer
was rated as one who had not seen
the Ice come or go. He then stated
that In some sections of Alaska, there
were as high as 17 billions of mos-
quitos. He emphasized, however, that f . : .1 i 9

PLANE RACE ACROSS COUNTRY PROMISED
(By Associated Press)
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Aug. 29. The spectacle of a race across the country
between an army dirigible and a re
constructed DeHaviland airplane will
be witnessed on Sept. 5 and 6, according to plans outlined in a letter receiv
ed by Lieut John McCullough, Adjt. General of Rockswell field today.
The letter came from Lieut. James
Doolittle, army flier, who recently
started to make a one-stop flight from Palbo Beach, near Jacksonville, Fla.,
to San Diego, Calif., but met with an
accident. He plans to take wing from Pablo Beach at 9:30 p. m., Sept. 5. On the same day according to plans the
big dirigible C-2 will leave Langley field, Hampton Roads for a flight to field, Arcadia, near Los Angeles.
Lieut. . Doolittle, writes that he
planned to arrive at Kelly field, San Antonio at 7 a. m. Sept. 6 to take on
gas and leave at 7:30 a. m. for San Diego, which he hopes to reach between 5 and 5:30 p. m.
DOAN DEPLORES LAX ENFORCEMENT POLICY
Lack of uniformity In laws in Amer
ican, failure of the melting pot to per
form its function, and a letting down In law enforcement "all along the
line were characterized by W. S
Doan of Indianapof is as the reasons
for the failure to enforce the Volstead
act, in a speech made at the start of a
round table discussion of the Friends
general conference Tuesday.
"We have let down in law enforce
ment all along the line and as a result
the Volstead act has appeared the most vulnerable for attack," he declared. "We are the most lawless people on the face of the earth. Why?
For one thing, we lack a uniformity in laws which engenders general disrespect for the law and works against the proposition of law enforcement. It lowers the high ideal of law we have
had." Failure of the people to realize that the Volstead act is right was also characterized by the speaker as one of the forces working against enforcement. "Suppose 20 per cent of the people believed in their( hearts that it was all right to steal," he said. "It would be a difficult thing to enforce that law. We have a large foreign population that believes this act is an encroachment on their personal liberty. They have not yet grasped the American ideal, and the distinction between
liberty and license. In other words the melting pot has failed to perform
its function.
ry-r By MARK SUIAIVAX WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. The uppermost question about the soldiers' bonus now is just what kind of veto President Harding will give it. That he will veto it is by this time universally accepted, although the pro-bonus leaders apparently intend to go on the assumption that he will not. It is said to be their intention to make an impressive country-wide demonstration with the purpose of bringing pressure on Mr. Harding at the moment when he has the bill in his hands. .
The plan is said to include a sys
tematic deluge of telegrams on the
White House from Republican governors, Republican 6tate chairmen, dis
tant members of the Republican national committee and other local Republican leaders. This is expected to have the result of embarrassing
President Harding and the Republican
party, even though it will be without
effect in preventing the veto. Interest Kindles.
Discussion as to just forms the veto
could take engages the interest of many who are in close contact wiht the fight. There are three possible
forms. One would be a strong, ring
ing veto, which would go to the heart
of the principle of the bonu3 proposals, those who want the president to
make this kind of a veto say it would
have two effects. One would be to end the whole bonus discussion and to put it out of consideration permanently, or at least un
til the end of the Harding administra
tion.
The other advantageous effect point
ed out by those who favor this kind of
a veto would be the giving to the
Falls. Croquet and horseshoe games
were played, James Ladd of Williams
burg, and Thomas Haisley of Carlos,
winning the honors. W. E. Oler and

Mounted Police Gallant. Mr. Wetzel continued to explain
"The Northwest Mounted Police of
Canada are Just as fine as pictured in this country. They are pomp through
and through. In fact, the ladies whogo through the country admire the police to such an extent that the embarrassment is almost too much for the officers of the law. Most of the mounted police are young ex-cervice men, all of whom are fine looking men. "The gold region In Alaska was found by an Indian squaw, accompanied by another squaw and their husbands. The company had camped in the Klondike region, near a stream. The squaw took the skillet down to the water to wash it out with the water and sand of the stream. In sodoing gold stuck to the bottom of the skillet and the news of the great find soon spread over the country, and caused the great Klondike rush. The founders of this great gold region later died in poverty." In concluding his talk, Mr. Wetzel said that in an interview with a man who had been in Alaska for some time, he asked him what he thought of tho country. The man said: "Everything is made up of dogs, dirt
and desolation, and the spell or tne Yfcukon is just Y-u-k-o-n." stVm The lady losing a high heeled rubber at Economy Chautauqua tent may have same by calling for it at Mrs. Peterson's Among those camping at Richmond Chautauqua are Helen Lundy and Fanny Cain, India Cain and Clara Pierce, O.

nountrv of an imnression of decision
and strength on the part of Mr. Harding. It is held that a strong, firm veto message would overcome a good deal
of the feling now acknowledged to exist throughout the country adverse to Harding because of what is held by those who critize him the excess of patience, the lack of strong action and quick decisiveness in his course with
regard to the strikes.
Has Committed Self. Why this sort of permanent veto,
based on principle may be difficult for Mr. Harding lies in the fact that In the past he ha3 expressed himself as in favor of the principle of adjusted compensation for the soldiers.
This expression was made, in tn primary campaign preceding the presidential campaign. The expression was vague but nevertheless it is on th
record. In this respect Harding Is in much the 6ame position as several senator who gave a vague asont to the idea at a time when they had not thought into it fully and when they did not realize the amount of money involved. This brings us to the second form which Harding's veto of the bonus could take. That form would be in the nature of postponement. President Harding could refrain from saying anything about the principle of the bonus and confine his reasons for the veto merely to saying that the present state of the treasury and the present weight of taxation are such that the government could not expend t such a sum at the present time. Might Stir Dissatisfaction The form of veto might or might not placate the American Legion leaders. It would certainly be unsatisfactory to those opponents of the bonus who want the questions settled now "1 for all time. The third form which the veto could take under 6ome circumstances would consist merely of silence. If the senate program should arrange itself so as to pass the soldiers' bonus and then recess without waiting for any message on It from the White House this would have the effect of ending the bonus for the present session without Harding going on
record on it one way or the other, with congress away, mere abstaining from action on the part of the president would have the effect of a veto. This would work out not so much for Harding's comfort, not so much to relieve him from the embarrassing necessity of writing a veto message on this trying question as to give relief to the rather more embarrassed senators. To the Republican senators or at least to those of them who are
going to vote for the bonus this course would have the agreeable advantage of relieving them from the necessity
of going on record on a roll call to pass the bonus over the president's veto.
Embarrassing Eituation It Is obvious how embarrassing it must be to Republican leaders like Lodge and Watson, for example, to vote to pass a measure over the veto of a Republican president If this
could be avoided it would be very
much to the taste of many embar
rassed republican senators. Those of them who want to give their constitu
ents a picture in favor of the bonus would be enabled to do so through having voted for it in the first instance. At the same time, they would avoid giving their constituents the picture of voting to pass a measure over a Republican president's veto. i This suggested possibility of passing A the bonus and then taking a recess and V going back home is hardly within the probabilities. Among other things it would include leaving the final adoption of the tariff up In the air until after the election. In any event it is certain that the bonus bill will be vetoed, that there are not enough votes in the senate to pass it over the president's veto, and that the bonus will not be on the books at any time in the immediate future.. This outcome which your correspondent has long expected is now accepted practically universally. (New York Evening Post, Inc.)

The alert business man dealing with present-day conditions knows that the big word today is "Turnover." Whether he be a merchant, manufacturer, jobber, or banker, he sees that one thing with a clear vision,, unbased by the limits of his own business. It is in the air, and on the tip of every tongue. And yet many of them entirely too many are thinking on only one side of Turnover. They think of it as meaning rapid selling putting money in and getting it out quickly and at a profit. They realize that they must put greatly increased efforts back of all their plans for selling and distri
bution.
The other half of Turnover is the con sumer. All selling plans and efforts fail if the consumer doesn't want to buy. His desire for the product must be created. He must meet the seller half way. He must be in a mood to buy before the salesman meets him across the counter. That is the function of Advertising to create consumer demand and con
sumer preference. With' this demand as a fact all selling plans have a chance to succeed. Without it they fail. The only chance for salesmanship to succeed without an existing demand is for salesmanship to assume the task that belongs to advertising the task of creating demand. t .
If the present efforts that are being put into selling were amply supported by a corresponding effort to create consumer demand through Advertising, the business conditions of this country would be rapidly changed into an era of great prosperity in spite of Old World conditions and everything else. . : .
