Some day from a studio in the nearby National Museum Building will come another plaster figure to join the silent party. It will be a long-legged model probably dressed in Eleanor Blue and posed to suggest energy, cheer, simplicity. The face, which in the living original is dominated by a generous, tooth-filled mouth, receding chin and warm, humorous eyes, will be indistinguishable from the faces of all the other First Ladies. For Sculptor William H. Egberts of the Smithsonian avoids arguments with friends, relatives and the subjects themselves by giving all the Presidents' wives the face...

"Unimak Is- land," he said, "a 90-mile long land mass, is the latest bit to desert the islands and, both geologically and biologically, become a portion of Alaska. In the lifetime of the present generation sailing vessels glided between the islands and the mainland through what is known as False Pass. At low water today a school...
