New York State and City, however,
continue TO occupy the political lime
light on account Of the approaching
mayoralty campaign and Gov. Smiths
contest with his political critics in the
conduct of his administration.
Weeks have dragged on since the
first outburst OF opposition TO Mayor
Hylan'S proposed denomination for
the mayoralty without any clarifica
tion Of the situation in the city. The
axiom that 1t is hard to be somebody
with nobody still rules inexorable in
the case of Mayor Hylan. While some
Of his own party and his own faction
Of Tammany Hall still profess to be-
lieve that his denomination by the
Democrats Of New York City is not
desirable, the Tammany organization
has been unable to pick out a candi-
date likely to command the great fol-
lowing he undoubtedly possesses.
They writhe and struggle in the folds,
ever-increasing in pressure, OF the
mayors personal following. Further
more, in the background there is al
ways the menace of his possible can
didacy as an independent, backed with
the support of William r. Hearst.
Take me. or suffer probable defeat
and lose the city" is the mayors grim
answer to all suggestions that he quit
the race as a candidate of the Demo
cratic party in New York City.
x X x
Gov. Smith of New York has been
placed on the defensive in his admin
istration of the finances of New York
State. When the Legislature adjourn
ed he was given credit for the finan-
cial legislation enacted. At that time
the Republicans charged that he had
not reduced the taxes, but had only
shifted them, and that the seeming re-
ductions would have to be made up in
other ways. 1t was then threatened
that the Republicans would take this
question up with the people.

Arabian Dancing Girls

THE Arabian dancing girls" trav-
eler explains, "are born to their pro-
fession. Many Of them had dancing
mothers. Others are dedicated to the
profession by their mothers when they
are but babies. While there are no
dancing schools, these children prac-
tice continually, initiating from earliest
childhood the steps and movements Of
the dancers, until they are highly
skilled in it themselves.
unlike the other Arab women,
these dancing girls appear with their
faces uncovered. They wear heavy
and voluminous skirts, like old-fash-
toned European dresses. They are
frequently very plain, decorated only
by the bangles and chains. While tn .
girls are no more beautiful than other
girls, they have exceeding charm,
which makes them very delightful"

Greek Government Ousted
by Rebels Under PangaloS

Athens. - The Greek government
under the premiership of Michalako-
poulos has been deposed and new
government under military control is
installed.
At five o'clock in the morning Cen
eral Pangalos, who was formerly gen.
eralissimo of the Greek army and
held the office of minister of war for
a short time, with a number of off,
GERS, occupied the barracks of the reg.
iment of engineers and forthwith is
sued an ultimatum to the government
demanding its resignation.
General Pangalos and his staff took
up quarters at the war ministrS.
The government resigned and the
provisional President, Admiral Coun-
douriotis, invited NJ. Papanastasion,
former premier, to organize a cabinet.
The populace seems strangely un-
moved by the event.
All the leaders of the military
movement are strong republicans and
are anxious to set up a more demo
cratic government.

Roelf, the dark vivid boy, misunder-

Oh, Selma DeJong never was lonely
on these winter evenings before her

She and Dirk sat there one fine
sharp evening in early April. It was
Saturday. OF late Dirk had not al
ways come to the farm for the week
end. Eugene and Paula Arnold had
been home for the Easter holidays.
Julie Arnold had invited Dirk to the
gay parties at the Prairie avenue
house. He had even spent two entire
week-ends there. After the brocaded
luxury of the Prairie avenue house
his farm bedroom seemed almost star
tlingly stark and bare.
Selma frankly enjoyed Dirks some

visits; extracted from them as much
vicarious pleasure as he had had in
the reality-more, probably.

 A. B. Trites, pioneer mining man, who is at present inter- ested in the development of the United Empire properties, on the east slope of Mt. Dolly, arrived from the south Sunday. X c. M. Sharpe, representing the Schwabacher Hardware Co, of Seattle, paid Hyder visit last week.
 Sam Swenning, representa- tive of the U. s. Forest Service, arrived in Hyder Sunday, ac- 'companied by Mrs. Swenning, and will spend several months in the district in connection with the forestry and trail building activities of the bur- eau. MT. Swenning is no stranger to Hyder, having been in charge of the Forest Service trail construction and survey work here two years ago.
 G. L. Johnson, who is associ- ated with E. B. Bartholf in a number of mining properties in the vicinity of Salmon glac- fer, arrived from the south Sunday, accompanied by Mrs. Johnson. MT. Johnson is here to complete his annual assess ment work and expects to re- main all summer, with pros pect of also spending the com ing winter in the district.
 The Hyder baseball team again bit the dust before the onslaughts of the Stewart twirlers on the local grounds Sunday afternoon. The score was 3 to 5, i'll favor of the wis itora.
 Competent baseball critics give credit for the victory more to failure of the locals to play ball than to efficiency on the part of the Canadians, who played very ragged ball themselves, although display ing much better team work than the Alaskans. Stickney, the Stewart southpaw, was less fortunate in the matter of hits than St. Clair, the Fly der mound artist, but received {, far better support from his team mates. Hyder failed to measure up to opportunities at several critical points in the game, thereby permitting the Canadians to gain an easy vic- tory.
 To the casual observer it ap- pears that a little shaking up in the back lots would do the Hyder team a lot of good. At that it was an interesting game and kept the large crowd from both sides of the boundary ilne on tiptoes throughout most of the seven innings.

 The mine has been placed in an advanced stage of devel- opment by the work carried on during the past winter. Underground workings in the shape of tunnels and drifts now total around II thousand feet, with an additional g thousand feet of drill holes.
