TRADE HES|TATES

Uncertainty as to Situation
SAYS "Wait" to Merchants

| Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, June 12.-The mails to-
! dav are believed TO have carried the
| smallest volume of commercial orders
in the last eight years. With the po-
ltical hosts gathering in Kansas City
this Is a natural development and does
not reflect in the slightest degree
slump in business or an indication tnat
industrial commercial and trade actiV-
ity will suffer decline In 1873, as COM
pared with previous years.
To an unusual degree, however, the
present political situation has injected
the element of uncertainty and the gen
eral run Of business men need only the
hint of uncertainty to induce them to
defer orders. Wait" was the answer
to the majority of the wholesale sales
offers today. Only emergency orders
went forward.
There was one exception, however,
and that was in the radio trade. The
demand for batteries. tubes and acces-
sories, as well as for sets themselves,
showed a decided squirt, and 1t Is evi-
dent that the proceedings of the two
big conventinos will be listened to by
more millions than ever bothered their
heads with political matters before.

any one candidate. 1t reflects merely
uncertainty There was something OF
the same sort in 1920. At that time the
late Gen. Leonard Wood was going
into the Chicago convention with a
huge volume of instructed delegates
behind him But he was uncertain OF
the nomination and events proved the
definiteness Of that uncertainty. But
the opposing party was handicapped
by the desperate illness of its nominal
leader and the effect on business was
somewhat less acute.
Less Anxiety Four Years Ago.
In the conventions OF four years ago
the denomination of President Coolidge
was practically conceded and there was
in consequence less anxiety as to the
result because of the bitter factional
fight among the adherents of his OPP
ponent. Today uncertainty has fun
sway.
This is not confined to the business
men of any one party. The. Democrats
are as much affected as are the Re-
pubiicans They will agree in private

 The NET SAVING to the Terri tory would be $3,69OOO.
 Indeed, it would amount to more than that, but the above amount is beyond argument
 So much for the INCREASED cost argument
 THE RIGHT OF SELF GOVERN
 MENT
 In addition to ECONOMY the Controller Bill will give the People of Alaska the right to elect the officers who would conduct their affairs.
 No American can argue against that.
 At present the entire machin- cry of government is in the hands of people who are NOT responsible to the Citizens of Alaska, namely, the federal Governor and federal Secretary.
 IN SHORT, the Controller I'll proposes that the people of Alasla shall govern themselves to the very limits now authorized by Congress, usurping no part of federal duties. and only recapturing that which is theirs by an act of Congress and approved by the President of the United States.

lloIu the IacC that one Of the three officers created is called the Con- troller. He is the Chairman of the Board of Control. We could not use the word governor" and the word superintendent" was not suitable. Hence Controller.
 The theory back or the bill is this:-When Congress gave Alaska it's legislature, it did so thru what is called the "Organic Act" In this Organic Act, the Legislature was given certain powers and de- nied others.
 The trouble is this-Alaskq hos never taken advantage of it's right to exercise those powers granted by Congress. Alaska created it's Treasury Department but GAVE TT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNOR TO APPOINT THE TREASURER.
 The Controller Bill seeks to change this by allowing the people of Alaska to ELECT their treasurer. Ii the last Legislature had passed the Controller Bill, in this elec- tion we would now be voting for our territorial Treasurer. The men running for reelection who voted against this bill are (none such in the First Division; Tom Gaffnev at Nome (Second DivisioD: J7c Murray (Third Division); Roho~t Sheldon, Walter Fisher and Harry Pratt (Fourth Division).
 The Controller himself would take over the duties which past Legislatures have given to the fed- eral Secretary (vital statistics. cor poratlon records, fox farming rec ords and membership on various Boards).
 The third member of the Board was the Attorney General whose duties would remain as at present.
 AS for the cost, it would remain the same with the Treasurer and the Attorney General
 The only new office is the Con- troller. He would be covered by the appropriations now allowed the federal governors office (for per-

Lucky?

When she comes to the footlights
to acknowledge Broadway's applause
of her marvellous dancing in "Side-
walks of New York." theatre-goers
sit forward to admire her youthful
charms; the fresh crispness of her
rose-petal skin and her cleaning
black hair. She's Virginia Clark. of
lab Twenty-third St., Jackson
Heights, New York City.
"When friends say I'm lucky to
have such clear skin and soft, shin
ing hair" says Miss Clark, II have
to tell them it isn't luck at all. In
my case, it's the result of care. For
my hair, I use the simple method
that's all the rage among New York
girls now. It's so easy. All you do
is put little Danderine on your
brush each time you use it. This
makes my scalp feel just grand and
keeps away all dandruff. It keeps
my hair and scalp so clean l don't
have to shampoo nearly as often as
l did. It makes my hair soft and
easy to dress; holds it in place; and
gives it more lustre than brillian-
tine!"
Danderine quickly removes that
oily film from your hair; brings out
it's natural color; makes it fairly
sparkle. Dandruff disappears when
you use Danderine. Waves, set with
it, stay in longer. It isn't oily and
doesn't show. All drug stores have
the generous 35c bottles. Over five
million used a year.

Local. Radio Station
Resumes BrOadcasting

kFYR, Bismarck broadcasting sta
ton, resumed operation last night
after being silent for more than one
week, due to inability to secure new
apparatus made necessary by the re-
cent change in wave lengths.
Experts at the station have been
working almost continually since the
new apparatus arrived, and the work
of installing it was completed late
yesterday afternoon, according to
Stanley Lucas, construction engineer
at the station.
When the recent change of wave
lengths was ordered by the federal
broadcasting board, Lucas explained,
hundreds of stations throughout the
country rushed orders for new ap-
paratus to wholesale companies,
with the result that some Of the sta
tions were unable to get the ma
chinery and were forced to tenn
porarily discontinue broadcasting.
Since the new order went into effect
nearly half Of the smaller stations
have been out of commission, Lucas
understands.
