alone should forever damn the
League Of Nations, because it is
an indication of its limitless posi-
bilities for evil and for interfer-
ing with the internal affairs of
this country. The League of Ma
tions has already for months had
in Washington a representative of
its Labor Bureau reporting on
labor conditions in America.
One year ago there was abound
ing prosperity throughout this
country. Every factory was
crowded to it's utmost, with a
ready demand for its output.
Laboring men Of all kinds were
better employed than ever before,
and no man had to walk the
streets hunting in vain for a job.
Farmers were for the first time
in the history of their foundation
industry reaping a fair measure
of profit for the work which they
do in sustaining civilization. To-
day factories are closing through
out the country. Tens of thou
sands of laborers are being dis
charged, and within the last
three months the value Of farm
products has been reduced to the
extent Of about $7,500,O00,0O0 to
$S,000,0Oo,D00, bringing poverty
to millions of farmers in every
part of the land.
Through the worldwide restric-
ton Of credit, prices on farm
products have reached such a low
point that if they can be held
down to present figures Europe
will be able to save at one billion
e two billion dollars a year in its
importation of American food
stuffs and cotton. In addition to
this loss TO America we will be
forced to pay off debts made with
high prices with low-priced COM

CONGRESS- CAN FREE ALASKA

Constructive policies now are being favored by department and bureau chiefs interested in Alaskan affairs.
 Some of these efforts, notably the encouraging of investment in print paper manufacture, will expedite the development of territorial resources, presently wasted
 But of particular importance to the northland and of particular interest to Seattle is the attitude of congress toward Alaska
 For the first time in years, con- gressional attention is being centered constructively on these problems and congressional committees are seeking out practical remedies for existing conditions of unproductiveness.
 The way is being paved for the framing of general program, cover- ing all the territory's needs, which will be the magma charta of it's industrial liberties
 Departmental leaders in Washing ton have sensed this aroused interest in the houses on the subject of the Northland's development.
 They are asking up some of the dry bones in bureaus which have been perfunctorily dealing with it's affairs.
 They are considering it's immediate future not mechanically, but with view to ascertaining how settlers, workers and capital can be induced to take hold of the problem of devel- opment.
 When congress frames it's program it will find the departments ready with constructive suggestions and even, in some instances, anticipating it's policies.
 Congress can strike the shackles from Alaska, if it wills to do so, in a single session.

What S in a Name?
NELLIE.
By Mildred Marshall.

There is considerable room for
doubt in assuming that Nellie is A
derivative or a contraction of state
ly Eleanor. Though some etymoIo-
gists claim that the former name is
evolved in the lengthy process be-
tween the original Helen and the
final Lima, there are two other
sources from which Nellie might
well be sprung without such a for
midable history of deriva ton.
The Dutch have a name which
they call nellie, meaning horn. ."
which is pronounced the same as
our Nellie and might easily be the
direct progenitOr of this popular
little name. Fer these who reject
this derivation there is the German
Nellie, which has wide vogue in all
countries under Teutonic influence
1t was evolved through the quaint
English Petronella, a feminine name
given in honor of st. Peter.
The first Petronella was said to
have been his daughter. For that
reason the name was exceedingly
popular in Spain as PetroniIla. In
Norway it made its appearance as
Petronille and was shortened to
Mile, a name which corresponds
very closely to our Nellie.
The bloodstone is Nellie's tails
manic gem. 1t will preserve her
health and protect her from dis
eases, especially from those which
affect the blood. Tuesday is her
lucky day and l her lucky number.
