THE WORLD GYPSY By Mary Graham Bonner

T have treat for you for to- night" said the Little Black Clock who had been given the magic so that he could turn himself back ward or forward and belong to any time at all
 The only thing he couldn't do was keep the ordinary time, and who would want to keep the ordi- nary time when he could do such wonderful things as the Little Black Clock?
 What a wonderful thing it was, Peggy and John said, that the Lit tie Black Clock had let them into his secret and took them with him on his trips of adventure.
 So when the Little Black Clock said that he had treat for them the children knew that it would be great.
 You're going to meet the World Gypsy this evening"" the Little Black Clock said.
 "Who is he?" the children asked.
 And then came forward a strange looking person wearing an odd costume that seemed to go in waves about him.
 Good evening" he said, as he saw the Little Black Clock and the children.
 My name" he continued, after the children and the Little Black Clock had said good evening, "is Gypsy. But I'm a world gypsy. I don't belong to any particular place
 Some people call me Radio Waves, and some call me The Ether and some call me Space Waves.
 But I always call myself Gypsy That's because have no real home because I wander everywhere"
 His voice was a little husky at times. Then again it was very clear.
 DO you want me to tell you how old I amp"
 "Yes, tell them" said the Little Black Clock
 Do. please do," the children urged.

Europe and Free Trade.
Manchester Guardian

There is something at comic and pathetic about the universal agreement that Free Trade IS sense and tariffs are nonsense. Statesmen Of all nations contemplate the tariff barriers of Europe and see their absurdity-in part We had the whole thing over again at the Assembly of the League of Nations Monday. Herr Stresemann seems to have declared for universal Free Trade. There is, we believe, nothing in the Treaty of Versailles to prevent Herr Stresemanns country from going in for Free Trade tomorrow. But evidently Herr Srese- mann did not mean that. If he did he would not have wasted time talking to the League of Nations about it. He would seem-one must be careful, for the reports of the Assembly shortto have shar- ed the common error of most of the world that Free Trade is a virtue, and that it is all very well to be vrtuous if everybody else consents to be viruous too. It is easy to study the ingenious lief map of Europe, which has been on exhibition at Geneva it was at the House of Commons, showing the exact statistical height of the tariff walls and divide Europe, but it seems to suggest nothing to the practical politicians of Europe ex- cept the need for still higher tariff walls around their own countries If only these statesmen would forget the map and do a little quiet thnking-and a little reading - Free Trade would be victorious throughout Europe and here might quite likely be sad and sorry for it. There is indscretion in saying this. European statesmen will understand the simple, clear, unanswerable econ- omic theorem that means Free Trade. Even the French the countrymen of Bastiat will probably continue for ever to regard him wit and no more We need not be afraid
 We need not be afraid that European or Am erican competition will hit hard by arming it. self with Free Trade. But there is perhaps some slight need to be afraid lest in a highly modern confusion of thought should let slip our own great advantage as an exporting and competing country, advantage reduced certainly by the late Government, but not yet destroyed.
 Sense, like charity should begin at home. In this matter of Free Trade Europe much better by example than by precept It must not be suggested by allowed to be inferred from anything that representatives say that Free Trade is contingent policy. It must be firm ly maintained, not for the sake of Europe but for our own sake that that policy admits of excep- tions of time, place, circumstance

STOCK MARKET PANIC.

The dispatches say that twenty-five plhohs oi dollars were forced out of the values of stocks and ether securities The direct losses were sustained by those who sold 1600000O shares, record that was never approached except last week when 13,O0o,Ooo shares were sold in one day Such the havoc of Tuesdays Wall Street storm.
 Of course a lot of this lost wealth will be salvaged as the stocks rise in value again as they undoubtedly will It will inure to the benefit o1 those who purchased the 16O00000 shares.
 In the meantime however, we shall see what will be the effect of wipng out $25 100000 in values in a single day The shock will be terrific Of that there be no question However, the country is healthy and production is at a high rate with the demand for products lively. It need cause no surprise if the recovery is so fast that those not directly involved in the stock transactions of the last week will feel it at all.

PROHIBITION MAKES U. s. WORLDS
 BIGGEST JOKE.

Prohibition has lowered the quality Of liquor and ra.sed the price; it has multiplied the work of the courts and raised taxes it has increased dis respect for law and raised hob with social practice, and t has cutrailed the public revenue and raised the volume of traffic on the air line between the United States and Kingdom Come It has made bootlegeing of the countrys largest industries.
 n ddition it has made the United States the blfgtst joke in the world. the sport of all who go about. Anyone with the price can get liquor in any City in the United States and all who travel know it. Most of them do it. It has made the United States not only the worlds greatest joke, but the champoin hypocrte among nations.
 The only thing that the country in the eyes of the world is knowledge that Prohibition is not enforced and that most of the people who make the United States worth while opposed to it and do their best to ignore it.
 One would think that the country would not

ALASKA'S LOST FLYER.

There is no longer any room for doubt that Russell H Merrill, of Alaska's most capable and popular avators is dead.

 Nh Merrill had been flying in Alaska for five years He had become an Alaska institution He had friends everywhere in the wide area between the Alaska Pacific Coast and Seward Peninsula he covered. They mourn his loss even more poignantly because of the uncertainty and the hope against hope that continued for long.
 The persistence with which Col Eielson and Joe Crosson continued the search for their lost associate, even after others had surrendered all nope that he yet alive, is altogether to their credit

Crucial Game of Seconc q Half Is Slated at Doug
 last for Tonight

The crucial game of the closing half of the Gastineau Channel League is scheduled for this eve ming at Douglas between the Moose and Islanders. It was postponed on July 30 on account of rain.
 If the Moose, who now lead the league, win tonight, it will clinch for them the championship of the second half and give them the right to meet the Islanders, winners of the first half, in the Little World Series. If the latter, however, should win, it will then be neces- sary for them to play off a post poned game with the Veterans. And if they win the second game, the Moose and Islanders will be tangled in a snarl for the second half championship.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-It's stir ring battle that four young men of the majors are having for top batting honors.
 Babe Herman and Lefty O'Dou, locked in a struggle for National League supremacy. have been hit ting better than the leading Ameri- can League pair, Heinie Manush and Jimmy Foxx-but the latter are all but deadlocked in the averages.
 For almost week Manush and Foxx were within one point of each other. They were banging the ball around in the upper eighties. Herman and O'Doul were several notches higher and a mark of .4oo was necessary for a respectable lead.
 On the day that Herman was leading the National League with an average of .398 to ODouls .393 Manush had a rating of .387, one point higher than Foxx.
 Judging by the 1928 figures, three of the boys are batting a bit over their heads. Last year Herman hit $40; Foxx, BPS and O'Doul, .3i9 Manush, on the other hand, is right up where he belongs since he hi' .78 for the season last year ano was BIT batter in 1926.
