CONSTRUCTIVE ECONOMY

Efforts being made to demonstrate that the fig otalng the appropriations of the last congress do not show what President Coolidge calls constructive economy" but the contrary show extravaganza and waste.
 While it is true that the appropriations of the last sion of congress exceeded those of the previous congress- the items constituting the increase come egtimatey un der the head of constructive economy"
 Constructive economy" means the expenditure of money in such the welfare of the o e wod promote navy and army arpane service is construc tive economy" and members of all parties justified it. Money spent to repair and from decay many army posts is constructive economy and members of all par ties agreed to it.

WESTWARD ROUND TRIPS LIN ADMIRAL VESSELS
 IS IDEAL VACATION
THOUSAND MILE SEA VOYAGE, OCCUPYING SEVEN DAYS, AT
 A NOMINAL COST

A trip which Seward people and residents of this section should give serious thought to taking during the summer vacation days is the round trip to the Westward on the Admiral vessels. Here is seven-day, 1000 mile sea voyage under the very best of conditions and at cost remark ably small, s4S.OO first class. At this season of the year the water is almost always liwke a mill-pond. On the recent trip of the s. s. Admiral Evans, Captain Glass, which arrived in port yesterday, southbound, stops were made at Port Graham, Shumigan Straights, Iron Creek, Uzinkie, Zach CT bay, Kodiak, Alitak, Port Hebron, bay and Uyak. It is the trip ideal and we'll worth serious con- when one begins planning on a short vacation.

SCHOOL TEACHERS HAVE
 WONDERFUL VOYAGE

Lillian Ford and Anna Manns, mem bers of the Anchorage teaching facul- ty, arrived in the city yesterday on the s. s. Admiral Evans, from the round trip to the Westward. Accord ing to friends of the young ladies the trip was of exceptional interest to them for the reason the vessel was fortunate to be at the many places where actual activities were under way such as the canneries and the station. They saw whales harpooned, fish traps in operation, herds of seals and sea lions, besides having the opportunity to visit the many places of interest around Ko- diak island where legends abound.

BUY IN THE HOME TOWN

Social economists commonly agree that too much of the population of this country is located in great cties and the conditions would be better if the drift to those cities should stop, and if people would stay diumszed cities and suburban and country towns. One for this drift into big cities is that past years many people got the idea that they could gain advant by buying their supplies in these great centers That helped transfer business to such paces and took way from the smaller communities The people at least can do their share to counteract this undesirable drift by buy ing their supplies of their town merchants, thus keeping their money to build up their town rather than sending it elsewhere to biud up bigger cities

said:
This organization of these bureaus
is really quite essential to efficiency.
In customs, as at present organized
there is no directing head in Wash

experience and ability to direct the

Our experience with the Bureau of
Internal Revenue convinces me that
a similar organization will be vastly
advantageous to efficient adminiStra

Urges Coordination.
THE same reason applies to the
Bureau of Prohibition. l think there
can be no question of the ACCESSIBILITY
of this change in responsibility, and
Furthermore it is quite essential in
order to carry out the coordination
between customs, Coast Guard and
prohibition, which has been set up
enthusiastically under one assistant
secretary
The early passage of the bill. Sec
rotary Mullan said, will be most help
full to the important work we have
in hand, particularly in the enforce

The administration bill would fix the
salaries Of those at the head of the
customs and prohibition bureaus at
$4,000 each, as compared to the
$500 now paid Roy A. Haynes, the
present prohibition commissioner;
$500 paid Director of Prohibition

scribed the news as a bolt out of the
clear sky. but in no way a surprise"
He said that during the past year
many women had written to both Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman that they were the
perfect mates.
The way for reconciliation was
paved six weeks ago when Mrs. Still

in Grand Anse, Canada, on a Christ

It was shortly after the birth of
Guy that Mr.. Stillman instituted his
suit for divorce. the first news the
public had of what was to become
probably the most notorious divorce
action in the annals Of American
courts for the amount Of money spent
in the action, for sensational testi-
mony and for the persistency with
which the principals fought the case
The rising evil of divorce is sap

more than the drink evil and should
be abolished, Justice Morschauser
who also presided at the Rhinelander
annulment suit. asserted.
Warns Divorce Must Go.
In an interview appearing in the
forthcoming issue Of Golfers Weekly
Justice Morschauser says:
Divorce must go! We've got to
abolish divorce just as we legally
abolished booze. Hard drink and the
saloon were cankers. We cut them
out-legally. We'd have cut them
out effectively il we hadn't gone to
extremes. If the Nation has the
right to regulate what it's citizens
shall drink, then the Nation has a
right to say that marriage, of vastly
more concern to the state than
thirst, shall be what nature and
civilization demand; a permanent, in
violable contract entered into between
two rational beings. Economically
divorce is menace, a worse menace
than drink ever was"
Justice Morschauser would tolerate
legal separations in cases of mental
intirmity or other serious causes and
annulments in cases of rank decep-
ton vitiating the marriage contract,
but he would never permit glazing
disparity between the ages of those
seeking marriage"
He advocates rigid prosecution OF
guilty parties when adultery is the
ground for divorce.
Get rid of divorce by national
statute, II possible" he urges, "but
regulate 1t by Federal law because il
is not only possible but necessary, il
American courts are to cease being
the Fairgrounds for the frippery and
passion that make up the tragedy
and farce of human infidelity."
In addition. Justice Morscha
would have all legal rights denied &c
Americans who obtain divorces abroad
"a business contract made in Amer
lea he said, cannot be broken
legally by a foreign jurisdiction. The
same rule should apply to a marriage
contract"
