 Other Clubs Activities
 The Ketchikan club has spon- sored a community Christmas tree for several years past, with the help of the Boy Scouts. the Salvation Army, and the church cholrs of the city. They have interested them selves actively in all community projects, building of tennis courts at the canneries, comfort stations at the parks, etc. They hold regular monthly luncheons.

 'The Regal Reading Club of Me Carthy is a new member of the Federation, having joined last year. The club is small, but very active and progressive, devoting their en- orgies to literary work and study, and community betterment.
 Two years ago the Skagway Club purchased building for the use of the library and club, the library occupying the ground floor, and the club room the second floor. Most of the energies of the club since that time have been directed toward raising money for condition ing and furnishing this building. Last year the Harvest Fair was an outstanding success, and with the proceeds thereof repairs were made to the foundation, and a new floor laid. The club room is now fur nished comfortably and costly, and the club is proud to entertain viSi- tors in it's own home. A city lot, which was owned by the club was presented to the Public School, for a tennis court. And the club has worked with other town organiza- tions to select a site for monu- ment to be erected to the memory of a pioneer woman, Mollie Walsh.

commercial interests have been clamoring, and ratification of sev- eral commercial treaties.
 Col. Slawek, present premier, has suggested new elections as a means of breaking the deadlock. But oth- CT government men say that if an election were held under the exist ing electoral law, the new diet would have a more oppositional character than the present one.
 There are constant rumors, there fore, that Marshal Pilsudski will have recourse to new coup d'etat dissolving the present diet and changing the electoral law by de- cree so as to give governmental control of the new diet.
 But the Marshal, while he has often interpreted the constitution in rather liberal way, has never broken it since May, 1926. There fore many persons believe that he will check the present stalemate by winning over part of the present opposition.
 The peasants, for instance, have never been very strongly against him, and many government men believe their support could be ob- tained by granting government rural credits and alleviating taxa tion on farmers.
