WED FOR HAPPINESS
 MAY ALLISON URGES
--.-s : .-s.ss-~p.-se~s. s s-e-s

NEW YORK, April 2.-The mod ern woman is old fashioned at heart and marriage is the only career which will bring her happi- ness, May Allison Quirk believes. The former film star is married and is writer, so she believes her three careers qualify her as a judge.
 "Stardom and matrimony do not mix" she says. And stardom does not bring happiness; star must be too selfish. A profession al career simply points the way to happiness and that lies through marriage. No effort or sacrifice is too great to make for a success full marriage"
 Two years ago May Allison gave up her place in the film world to marry James Quirk, magazine pub fisher She played the role of housewife without a change until recently she broke into print with an article on playing the stock market. She became enamored of this new outlet for her energies.
 T like it because it does not in- terfere with my being wife" she said. But marriage always will come first"

International Highway.
Anchorage Times)

(AncnOrage lmeSD
 Anchorage can well afford to give support to the campaign which has been launched by Fairbanks for the building of an international highway which will connect Alaska with continental United States Such a highway is feasible and the benefit which Alaska would derive from the turning of automobile travel
 in this direction is sufficiently promising to war rant heartiest cooperation throughout the Terri tory.
 The Richardson Highway will form part of the proposed international highway. Automobiles com ing from the States and Canada will into the Richardson link 100 miles south of Fairbanks and they can travel from that point in either direction north to Fairbanks and the Yukon River south to Valdez or Chitina.
 It is proposed to connect Dawson with the main highway by means of a branch road nearly 200 miles in length and while Anchorage thus far has plans glance at the map would seem to indicate that this section of Alaska easily could be included in the program through extension of the Matanuska road system to connect with the Richardson High way, it would be simple matter to obtain ap- lproval of the Anchorage -Matanuska project. The international highway project is big one as road programs measured in Alaska, but it is not too big. It is not much of undertaking, in fact, the Richardson Highway when the Government asked to begin work on that project more than a score of years ago. And it is very small matter compared with the request for the construction of Government owned railroad. Both the Richardson Highway and Government railroad campaigns launched by Fairbanksans and they are equally capable now of getting action their newest building program, especially in view of the fact that they will have the cooperation of all Alaska and Yukon and the good will of virtually every automobile owner in the United States and Canada. With such assistance it should not take long to obtain needed Government approval of the project and Anchorage can well afford to be num- bered among the boosters.

REQUESTING THE WHITE HOUSE
 SPOKESMAN.

More intimate relationship between the press and lthe President is promised by Mir Hoover than has been the case in the immediate past In conference with the press the custom has been established that the President may not be quoted directly President Coolidge in answering questions submitted to him by the correspondents, make it condition that whatever he said might be used without disclosing the identity of the speaker Out of this grew the mythical White House Spokesman" who was no less than the President himself.
 In his first press conference after inauguration, President Hoover told the reporters attending he anxious to clear up the twilight as far as we can between authoritative and quotable material on one hand and such material as am able to give from time to time for purely background purposes on the other" He indicated he seeking to abolish far possible, the anonymity of the President as it has been reflected twice each week through the press conferences
 MT Hoover has nothing to lose by re-establishing that policy. It will bring him into closer touch not only with the newspaper in Washington and the publications they represent which embrace the entire press of the nation, but also with the entire country

ALLOWANCE OR PENSIONS?

MT Murray, in the discussion of the proposal to increase old age allowances or pensions, took the position that the Territory is not in the pension business He contended that the several Legislatures that have considered this subject had been careful to distinguish between the system and purely pension system.
 We believe his memory is good and his conten- tion correct. There is doubt, believe that the Legislatures have wanted to keep down the impression that the Territory had gone into the business of giving pensions to persons after they had reached the age of 65 years and had resided in the Territory for IS years But what the Legis- lature intended intends, and what view the public holds two entirely different matters There is all the difference between them of theory and prac tice Theoretically his position is sound but prac tically it hasn't worked out as was intended AS matter of fact there is and has been for several years, a widespread idea that the funds appro priated bennially by the Legislature for old age allowances or whatever else they may be termed for the benefit of anyone who possesses the necessary age residential qualifications And the tendency to regard it as an old age pension is get ting stronger all the time That this is true is evidenced by the biennial growth in expenditures from $14000 eight years ago to about $143,000 for the past two years, and the estimates of the Gov for $193OOO for the current biennium.
 As matter of proper procedure, the actual needs of the applicants for benefits under the law should be the controlling factor. But here again difficulty arises. The applicant appears before the United States Commissioner who with two other acquaint- friends in most certify to the eligibility of the would=be pensoner The extent of the assist needed is often than not subordinated to the amount he wants to get and considerations of sentiment play a not unimportant part in their recommendation. It is upon this information that the Board controlling the fund acts. Means of con- ductng an independent investigation lacking Under such conditions, there is for aston- ishment that pension appropriations have shown such remarkable growth

POISE AT THE WHEEL.

There will be more automobiles,
buses and trucks on highways during
the motoring season now in its Incl
pient stages, which means more con-
gestion, more delays, more CLOSE
shaves," greater need for care in driv-
ing and more need for good old fash
Toned courtesy Of the golden rule sort.
Driving when the motoring season is
at its height would wreck the patience
of a Job, but a good measure of this
annoyance and inconvenience would
be eliminated if more drivers were
better schooled in the unwritten code
of highway etiquette. Because there
is so little on the highways,
these days for motor vehicles, there is
room for mutual courtesy and that
consideration for others which is so
rare.
Not only does courtesy and conSid-
Grafton for others make driving more
pleasant for all, but it diminishes the
hazards of the road in the judgment
of many, there is nothing which con-
tributes more noticeably to traffic and
accidents than the habit of some driv-
erS to ignore the rights of others.
Why cannot motorists give the other
fellow another foot when they see him
in a tight place or know he must
otherwise bring his car to a stop?
Why do truck and bus drivers hug the
middle of the road. Why does the
motorist who drives by elegiac tempo
always stick to the busiest highway
for his slow motion meanderings? And
why do some demand the right of way
under all conditions?
1t Is said that the American people
are losing faith in humanity. One
senses the reaSon.-CrookSton Times.

WARMING ISSUED ON
EVAD|NG AUTO: TAX
LOANING OR BORROWING DEAL
Frs TAGS, DRIVING CARS
WITHOUT PLATES, ARE BOTH
ILLEGAL.

Persons buying new machines after
July l this year will pay only one-half
the regular license fee. Formerly the
half year rate went into effect August
/, but the legislature advanced the
date one month.
The State Highway department,
however, sounds a warning against
buying machines in June and driving
them with dealers plates or without
plates until July l. Dealers plates
may % used legally only when a ma
chine is being demonstrated by a
dealer OF when it is being moved be-
tween places of business or storage
owned by a manufacturer or licensed
dealer. Car buyers who borrow dealers
plates to avoid paying the full years
tax, or dealers who loan plates to GUS
toners, are equally liable under the
law.
One of the first tasks of the new
State Highway patrol will be to get
after persons who drive without Ii
cenSe plates or a legal permit, and
persons who try to dodge part of their
license tax by borrowing dealers plates
or other plates not issued for the car
on which they are used.
There is only one substitute for the
official license plates and that is a per-
NIT issued by an authorized agent OF
the Secretary of State showing that
license has been applied for.

NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS OF MUSIC AND DRAMA CLUB

The same efforts as in the past will
continue to be devoted to bring tour
lists.
The returns from the 1929 campaign
are SO great that an unusually large
Office force is needed to answer letters
and send out literature. Postage
alone costs more than $500 a week.
The association needs money now to
conduct the follow up work incidental
to both the agricultural and recrea-
tional advertising efforts.
This paper believes the citizens of
Minnesota and this community will
not allow the splendid development
work of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association to suf-
fer for need of funds. It hopes that
all will do their part in helping put
this great movement across and asks
it's readers to fill out the attached
coupon for whatever amount they feel
they can invest in their state and send
it either to this Office or direct to the
headquarters of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Greater Minnesota Association.
Minnesota is a great state and we
should all put our shoulders to the
know what we possess.
Persons who send $40 or more are
considered members of the association
and as such are entitled to the lists
giving the names and addresses Of
persons inquiring concerning farms,
lakeshore property and resort ccom
modations. Lists will be sent only
when members ask for them.

NEW YORK'S AUTOMOBILE AC-
CIDENT LAW.

New York'S new automobile re-
SponSibility law which goes into effect
September Is, is an example of sensi-
BILE legislation to curb the reckless and
protect the injured.
Under the provisions of the law,
any motorist involved in an accident,
if he is found guilty of reckless or fast
driving, driving while intoxicated or
leaving the scene of the accident with
out reporting it, must give proof of his
ability to satisfy any judgment that
may be lodged against him, up to S.
600 for one person, $4,000 for more
than one and $1,000 property damage.
If he is unable to do so, his license is
revoked and the registration of his
car cancelled.
Also, If a motoriSt loses a civil suit
resulting from an automobile accident,
even though he has committed none
of the foregoing violations of law, his
license is suspended until he meets the
Judgment and gives proof, through a
bond, cash, or insurance policy, that
he will be financially responsible for
any future accidents that may occur.
This law is considered by many ex-
perts to represent the most perfect
possible accident legislation. 1t avoids
the pitfalls Of unconditional compul-
sorry insurance, which has caused such
chaos in Massachusetts,. 1t places the
expense, responsibility and punish
ment where it belongs, on the reck-
less and incompetent.

PLAN STATEWIDE
ORGANIZATION

The Miner this week desires to call
the attention of its readers the finan-
cial needs of a statewide organiza-
ton which merits and should have
the support of this community.
This organization, the Ten Thou
sand Lakes Greater Minnesota As
ISOLATION has undertaken the work Of
selling Minnesota to the world both
as a great agricultural state and
summer playground. 1t has been de-
veloping tourist traffic for IL years
and the fact that the number of tour
lists visiting the state has increased
from 1900 in 1917 to more than l.
500, 900 in 1928 should be sufficient
proof that it has delivered the goods"
in that line. The tourist business
now brings more than $50, 1000, 900 in
new money to Minnesota annually.
The association is now devoting half
of its efforts to agriculture with the
hope that new farmers will be brought
in. The success of this plan has al
ready been assured by the hundreds
of inquiries concerning Minnesota
farms pouring into the Office in re-
Spouse to agricultural advertising.

SOUTHERN GIRLS
SUMMER HERE

Thos. Goodal of Nashville, Ten
nesee, was in the city a week ago and
arranged with the Wilderness Out
filters for the necessary mess hall and
buildings on Chicago Island in Bass
wood Lake for a party of 35 girls who
will arrive about June % and remain
until September.
The young ladies are from the eX-
IRENE south and this will be the first
time that the south has become
actually interested in our outing sec
ton. They are all students at the
Ward Belmont and Vanderbilt Uni
versities of Tennessee, prominent So
ciety girls from the best of the south
ern families, natives of South Caro-
and Mississippi.
A suitable mess hall has been built
on the island to be used for two years
by the same party and perhaps other
years providing they are pleased. They
will be housed in floored and screened
tents and will spend the sixty days on
this beautiful island located about a
mile from the Eastwood Fishing Camp
of the Wilderness Outfitters.
Mr.. Goodall is in charge of the
party and will be assisted by Compel
ent guides and cooks in making il
comfortable for the young ladies. The
success of their visit will mean much
to this section. During their visit
their parents and friends will visit
them in camp and it is expected that
from 300 to 500 people will make the
pilgrimage to Chicago Island during
the period of their stay.

A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE.

The terrible disaster . in Cleveland
Hospital in which 125 people lost their
lives, has directed the attention of the
entire world to the menace of fire.
1t may never be determined whether
or not this conflagration was preVen-
table. But it should bring to every
person a realization OF the necessity
of providing every possible safeguard
against fire.
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's has already acted to aid in
preventing a repetition of disasters like
the Cleveland Clinic explosion.
The Board adopted a resolution
authorizing it's president to appoint a
special committee to offer the en-
cheering services of the organization
to hospitals throughout the country TO
develop plans for guarding further
against fire and explosion hazards. The
resolution invited the American Medi-
cal Association and the major hospi-
tai associations of the country to
join with the Board in forming a
committee to cooperate in improving
safeguards.
There are more than 5000 institu-
tons designed as hospitals in the
COuAAG1y dAAo AIOoI Va .1AlCAA dAC SOlR-
nected directly or indirectly with the
Associations invited to join in the
movement to increase the safety of pa
tents and hospital stats.
The National Board is to be COM
mended for its prompt action in Of
fering to help solve new fire problems
which accompany scientific research
today. This is a service rendered free
ly and voluntarily by stock fire in
Surance companies as part of their
duty in protecting lives and property
of citizens.
