who defended the raise proposed by MT. Rothenburg, has right to any gratuity by reason of age or residential qualifications. The Terri tory, he added, has no old age pen sion system. It is purely and simply an allowance for aged resi- dents who need financial assistance and the right to obtain one rests in the main on need and no other factor.
 The idea of all Legislatures pass ing on the matter, he said, has been to provide funds for certain needy aged residents, and it has put these funds into the hands of board to administer, leaving it within its discretion to give each applicant that amount which added to what he might be able to earn by his own efforts, would sustain him.
 The ziegler boxing board bill, coming up for second reading today, was also continued on the calendar until tomorrow. MT Ziegler of fered two amendments to the bill as reported by the Committee, one fixing the headquarters of the board at Ketchikan, and second seeking to give the rules and regulations full force and effect of law. Opposi- ton to the latter amendment head ed by MT. Murray, developed He declared within the last IS years. the giving of force and effect of law to rules of various boards and commissions had resulted in seri- ous invasions of the rights of Amer ican citizens throughout the coun- try, had brought about a highly centralized form of government, and was one of the greatest public evils today.
 Publicity Bill Introduced
 A measure carrying an appropria- ton for s12,000 and seeking to es- tablish a Territorial Publicity and Industrial Department was intro duced today by Representative Fisher. It provides for the employ ment of an Industrial and Public ity agent at salary of $3,00O per year. His duties would be to col lect, compile, publish and distribute literature about the Territory's min eral, agricultural and general eco- homie resources, and assist local civic bodies in similar work, and generally act as publicity and in- dustrial commissioner for the Ter ritory.

 Numbers can be juxtaposed in every conceivable manner, certain letter combinations are possible to pronounce; and yet, because there are 26 letters, and only 10 cardi- nals, there exists, even within the narrow confines of the English language, more pronouncable ag- 'gregates of two letters than possi- ble permutations of two numbers.

The motion for severance being
granted. the Commonwealth decided
to go to trial with James CroWe'
part.time deputy and part.tinne
farmer. Grove is the oldest OF the
three defendants and is the father

Defense Counsels George Warren

New Geyser Awakens
Giant and GianteSS

The giant and the giantess ap-
parentIy have come to the con-
clusion that things are a httle
quiet in Yellowstone National Park
and need stirring up. The sianteSs,
in particular. has been subdued OF
late, but things are going to be
different now, Judging from the
activities of those two famous
geysers so far this year.
The giantess played only once dur
ing the summer of 1928, but so far
this year has played twice. with a
22.hour interval. The second erup'
ton lasted four hours, although
water was thrown up for only fifty
minutes in any quantity. The water
was thrown between 200 and 2hV
feet in the air attesting to the
violence of the eruption.
