land OF motor gypsies. Possession Of
an automobile. whether it be a "tin
can" or a salon model. and a few
dollars for gasoline. ''red hots" and
shelter. gives the motorist a choice of
a myriad vacation paradises ranging
from the Vermont lakes, the Maine
coast and the Catskills to the Ozarks
and Southern California: from Rainier
National Park in Washington to
Miami. Florida: from the North
Woods Of Minnesota and Wisconsin
to the Gulf Coast. and from the
Cumberland valley to the Black Hills
and the Yellowstone.
The coming season. according to
estimates made by the American Re-

DRINK WATER IF
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Pains or
 Bladder Is Irritated

Flush your kidneys by drink ing a quart of water each day. also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheu- matic twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irri- tated. obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night
 To help neutrlize these irritat- ing acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's
 
 urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutral ize the acids in the system so they no. longer irritate, thus often bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; can not injure and makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink.

LEGAL RADIO FANS
 WILL GET TOGETHER

In the interests of better radio reception, a new organization, known as the Radio Listenets club, is being founded in Juneau. For some time fans of the radio have been talking up the idea of such an organization but M. s. Whittier was the first one to take action on the idea, and today he has been signing up numerous owners of receiving sets.
 Sometime next week those who are interested enough in their ra- dio to attend meeting. will meet for the purpose of organizing and begin plans for betterment of b. cal reception. As in the states. the club will endeavor to elimla- ate excess noise, principally the "squealer" sets, which are respon- sible for running many receptions.

that voiced in Its brief filed with the

Chamber OF Commerce. whose excep-
lions are SUNNI ID up In the following
language:
% The examiners recommendation
OF regulation OF common carrier inter-
state truck operations is unjustifled
since such operations constitute hardly
more than l per cent OF the entire mo-
tor truck business in the country and
are relatively insignificant.
~ The proposed legislation is nn-

OF limiting such competition. fixing
rates and imposing other restrictions
such as those recommended 70 apply
TO common carriers.
~ The recommended legislation Is
not justified. because the States nov
have full power, in the absence OF Fed
eral legislation. 10 deal with the most
important matters Of public concern.
namely preservation of roads. safety of
operation. taxation. license fees. incIud-
ing compensation for use of roads. and
restrictions as TO liability.
~ The proposed regulation Is un-
justified since the motor trucking busi-
ness Is in the development state as Is

Figures OF the District Government

that 6 per cent of the total truck ton
mage Is handled by common carrier
trucks in both interstate and intra-
state commerce Approximately 10 per
cent is handled by contract carrier
trucks and the remaining IS per cent Is
handled by private trucks. Under the
