Vacations

Realizing that exhausted or sluggish worker is the most inefficient type of worker it is not easy to the wisdom of the advice which is still this late Tn the being given that the American people this year forego the usual period of rest and renewal in order that nation may throw unnterruptedly it's whole available strength into the for liberty Such advice overlook the fact that this nation has acquired world wide fame for creative energy be- cause it's people have tealousy guarded and steadily increased their individual power. They out door people exploring instinct and of adven turous habit. They like the sunlight and the open places and they each summer to the mountains, the plains and the forests There they shed their weariness find spirit and acquire new will to do gaining firmness of and clarity of thought and recovering interest in their employment.
 Nothing destroys the capacity for work like doing nothing but work. Midsummer generally finds workers everywhere at comparatively low efficiency hence the adoption with the warm approval of saga employers of the prevailing custom of taking short prolonged when the great outdoors offers its attractions This break has served each year tonic to efficiency in the highest degree. Never in history have the American people put greater energy into years work than since last va cation tirne the year will demand even greater effort wherefore has there been greater need of rebuilding The great army of workers, the army behind fighting army must be as fit and fresh as the soldier Tremendous Is it's task and it must be prosecuted with victorious energy. The nations strength must be depleted it's interest allowed to become Its vigor and aertness and capacity must be at par-better still at par plus!
 Under all these circumstances, along with the slogan Business as usual" should be the companion slogan, Vacation usual" The government, which better any individual take in the whole situation glance, is strong in recommending the usual period for rest and rebuilding preparation and stimulus for the work ahead The wise employer will, should take the view of it.

opoIy, JoHdHSen was strongly inclined TO
believe it, and to accept its implications
of Welles-Hewitt's dishonesty For the
records of the two men spoke loudly, one
for, the other against. Then there was
that odd matter of the trunk. A mistake,
perhaps-perhaps not. If not, why did
the Englishman, after buying Pennsyl-
vania ticket send his trunk to the New
York Central station? Was he running
away, as Gil charged? Had he announced
his departure for Mexico City, bought a
ticket for the place, and made his iden-
tity known to the ticket-seller in some
what lengthy talk that the latter remem-
bered, simply to cloak his intended flight
in the opposite direction?
A senseless fight, one must think-to
abscond with twenty-five thousand dol
lars got honestly and twenty thousand
got dishonesty, becoming thereby a fugi-
tive from justice, when by remaining he
would eventually have realized larger
sum legitimatey from the sale to the
Mexican Mines Company.
And why had he sold to the Mexican
Mines? Why not to him?
Johansen sank little lower in his
chair and his white head dropped farther
forward in the intensity of his thought at
this point in his survey of the case. This
was the snag he could not get by. Why
had Welles-Hewitt not sold the mine to
him? What price the Mexican Mines
was paying he did not know, but he was
confident that it was no such figure as
he had agreed to and had for years stood
ready to give. And Welles-Hewitt knew
thot l,
willing to sell to Gil for less, as the latter
claimed?
The answer to that was one of two:
either he had not been willing and the
Mexican's story was lie, or Gil had
been in a position to dictate terms.
IN the hall outside clock softly doomed
the quarter hour. Lars Johansen rose
to throw log on the blaze that still
contended with the rawness of the April
night, and began to think hopefully
that his expected visitor might not come
that he was to be spared the ordeal of her
distress. He could not have declined to
see her-that would have been heartless
but he would count himself fortunate to
miss her
Strengthening himself when the log
had been adjusted to his satisfaction, he
glanced up at the portrait of his son
hanging above the fireplace. The youths
white costume and the background of
sunlit tennis court made the canvas
high light in the somber room.
But it was not of that that the father
thought as he looked at it, He was think
ing of the circumstance, distant in time
and small, to which was due his present
connection with the Welles-Hewitt mur-
der case. A few lines in a notebook, a
memorandum of his dead son's-that had
been the beginning of his persistent effort
to buy the Rosalba mine. Thinking of it
now brought other memories in its train,
and soon he was far from the present,
reliving his time of tragedy and loss-a
loss the long years had hardly lessened,
leaving him still lonely man in great,
lonely house.
Suddenlyhe turned with start. Some
one had spoken. All, yes; servant to
say that the lady who was expected had
come. He nodded. He would see her at
once.

many things-stories novels,
travels, history, essays, humor-
but behind each was the force of
the great, earnest, powerful per-
sonality that dominated his time,
so that even then he was known
all over the face of the globe.
Simple, unassuming, democratic,
he was welcomed by kings, he was
loved by plain people.
If foreign nations love him, we
in this country give him first
place in our hearts. The home

"But l don't know it-I have said so

AT the door she turned.
"Im sorry to leave you-but you'll call

And she hurried off.
Alba stared about the room with a
feeling of terrible helplessness. 1t came
to her then that there might be many
things she did not know-things that
were being kept from her because she
was child. A child!
She began to pace the floor excitedly.
If only there were something she could
do! To sit and wait-it was horrible!

waiting. 1t was past eight, the hour
of his appointment with Mrs. Gil, and she
had not appeared. Perhaps she would not
come. He hoped so fervently. The inter-
view would doubtless be painful one for
him, and quite without value for her.
For, of course, she was coming to insist
that he uphold her husbands statement
about the sale of the Rosalba mine to him.
And that he could not do. All he could
assert positively about the matter was
that Gil, claiming to be the agent of
Welles- Hewitt, had offered to sell him the
mine at certain price and on certain
conditions, which he had accepted.
For the genuineness of the offer he had
no proof except the Mexican's word No
third person had been involved; he had
not communicated directly with the
owners. Gil had opposed his suggestion

FEDERAL MONOPOLY OF
 RADIO COlNlNLNICATION

Government monopoly. the secretary continues, would furnish a means to prevent mutual interference between stations and consequent loss of time during the night hours when radio communication is at it's best; would eliminate confusion in sending or re- ceiving distress signals; would insure the maintenance of possible cOmmuni- cation with naval ships; would de- crease the difficulties of maintaining radio neutrality; and would make possible a military censorship ad vance of an outbreak of hostilities.
 Commercial radio stations under other than government control, the letter points out, can give out infor- nation of incalculable value during that twilight period which would prob ably precede the opening of any war to which this country might be party. Authority to take over and operate or to close commercial stations in time of war will not suffice. The stations must be in full government operation by the first hint of possible hostili- ties
 The secretary also urges that re- strictions against alien operators on American ships be made more drastic. He declares that mo American ship should be allowed to leave port of the United States except with opera tors who are United States citizens

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-An abso- lute government monopoly of radio communication as a measure of na tional safety was advocated by Secre tary Daniels today in a letter to the commerce and marine committees of the senate and house, and outlining the navy departments views on the pending radio control bill drafted by an inter departmental conference
 "The bill covers the purchase of coastal stations only, that is only those used to communicate with ships by permitting the navy department to open all of its stations to commercial business, would discourage the exten- sion of any existing commercial sys- tenn or the organization of new sys- tems," the secretary wrote. The de- partment strongly recommends that the committee provide for the purchase of all stations used for commercial purposes. The value of existing sta tions is constantly increasing. and de- cisive action at this time will result in saving of public funds
 The letter urges that existing coast al and commercial stations in the United States. Alaska. Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Swan Islands be pur- chased within two years and that no license for private operators here after granted extend beyond that period.

JOHNSON AND BOYCE RECOGNIZE
 NQMAN AsDE FACTO GOVERNOR

State Treasurer Johnson or State Auditor Boyce will honor no checks signed by Gov Campbell or by former Governor Hunt. For the present at least the credit of the state of Arizona is not what it should be.
 Pending the settlement of the man damus proceedings. to be instituted in the supreme court, Johnson is going to take no chances. He stated last night that there were two men claim ing the office, and that he was not the one to judge who should have it.; neither was he going to jeopardize his bondsmen by honoring checks, which might be later found invalid. As soon as the court desides who is to have possession of the governors office, he stated that he would start honoring his checks.
 State Auditor Boyce made remarks to practically the same effect as those of the state treasurer's.
 State Treasurer Johnson made the statement to a Republican representa- tive last night, that an article appear ing in the evening paper to the effect that former Governor Hunt had had his first turn down from him. was ab- solutely wrong. Johnson stated that in claiming that he had refused to honor warrant signed by Mir, Hunt. the evening paper had printed deliber- ate falsehood. He has had no war rants signed by either Gov Campbell or former Governor Hunt, and that he will stand by his statement as printed above
