WOMAN'S CLUB
 OBSERVES DAY
International Relations Pro- gram Is Given by Lo-
 cal Organization

An especially interesting special session of the Juneau Woman's Club was held Monday evening in the Council Chambers, when the Inter national Relations Committee fit tingly observed Arlnistice day by the following program:
 ''Is Isolation Possible for the United States?" by Mrs. J. P. Will liamS.
 "The Effect of War on Missions, " by Mrs. G. E. James.
 "The Kellogg Peace Pact" by Mrs. R. E. Robertson.
 Probability of a United States of Europe Mrs. c. D. Geyer. The A-B-C's of the League of Nations, by Mrs. Daniel Ross.
 In her paper Mrs. Williams de- clared that interdependence of na- tions has been developed by the World War and events growing therefrom to such an extent that America cannot isolate herself.
 Mrs. James gave the principal ef- fects of war on missions: 1.-Open- hearted use of generous giving for relief of war stricken areas; D. Changed relationships in national and missionary organizations, with increase toward organization of in digent groups in nations affected; 2.-Numerical and economic loss to mission boards, due to confused re- lationships, and to confiscation of holdings.
 Mrs. Robertson gave expression to the conviction of each one present when she declared that we should show individual interest in the Peace Pact, an understanding of which requires unNmitting cam paigns of education and consider ation. She approached her review by giving a brief but comprehensive study of the League and it's reser- vaticns, and closed by asking: Will you risk peace?"
 Mrs. Geyer quoted largely from the opinion of Dr. Nicholas Mur-

MT. Behrends stated that although they -are large, they represent comparatively light year of disaster service according to Red Cross standards. No one catastrophe was of such proportions as to necessi- tate a nationwide appeal for funds, as in the case of the West Indies hurricane in 1928 and the Missis- sippi flood in 1927 The relief and rehabilitation work was handled by contributions from communities near the stricken areas supple mented by appropriations from the general funds of the national or ganization.

However, it is practically cer- tain that the Commission will take mo definite action on this subject at the coming meeting. It feels that it is not in possession of adequate information at this time on which to base any action in this connec- ton.
 It has received some communica- tionS on the subject It has been criticised and commended. Many of the criticisms have much merit, MT. Terhune said The Commis- sion recognizes that registration of trap lines has it's demerits as well as it's merits and it proposed to weigh both carefully before taking any step to put it into effect.

SESSION
SENDS CURBS
DOWN
By THEODORE KOsLOH

NEW YORK, June 14.-Curo
stocks failed to carry through the
promise Of higher levels evidenced
in initial activity today, and un-
der the influence of moderate
selling. pressure, an irreg,ilarly
lower price trend was followed
in the general list.
1t had been hoped that with
the tariff situation apparently
definitely disposed of, that the
heavy short interest would begin
to even up their commitments.
And thus lay the foundation for
definite upturn. Those profes-
sionals still committed to the de-
cline, however. seeing that little
outside demand was making its
appearance were in no particular
hurry to withdraw from their
positions, and with the over
night demand quickly taken care
of, stocks again began to beat
all orderly retreat into lower
territory. Turnover was again Of
small proportions, with the side
lines still proving the most
advantageous place to watch the
proceedings for a goodly portion
of the trading element.
Utilities tended lower with cleo
trio bond and share easing off to
92h, for a decline of "a, after
it had been bid up to 81 in the
first hour. Commonwealth Ed
ison was another weak spot,
dipping 4 points to 290, while
elsewhere in the list losses were
sustained in American Gas and
Electric off 25s at 1263s, Amer
ican and Foreign Power warrants
off at So, and fractional de-
clineS in the run Of more active
favoriteS such as American
Superpower, Niagara Hudson
Power, United Gas new, and
United Light and Power. Cities
Service continued in a sluggish
trend, and eased off fractionally
to 29h.
Oils failed to respond to news
of a price advance in crude oil
on the Pacific Coast, and with
the exception of Vacuum which
ruled 1B higher at 80, declines
were evidenced in Gulf off 23s at
1876, Ohio off u at 73, Standard
of Indiana off 1a at 81, and
Houston new off fractionally at
21H. Investment trust issues
were for the most part irregular,
with minor declines into the pre-
dominance, and activity centered
around Goldman Sachs, and
Transamerica, both of which
held fairly steady.
Industrial issues were ex-
tremely inactive, with Deere
fluctuating within a three-point
range, and finishing off near its
level of the previous session. i.
Curb bonds were slightly lower
in dull trading.

DEPORTAT|ONS
SHOW GAIN

Deportation of aliens the first
10 months of the current fiscal
year increased 35.9 per cent over

preceding year, the Bureau Of
immigration announced yeSter-
day. From July / to April 80,
l4,O34 were sent back to their
native lands, an increase of 3,709

try, while 2,234 were sent to
Canada; 1924 to European coun-

the issue of $4,000 in bonds for
the purpose of refunding an out
standing Indebtedness of the town.
There are 10 qualified voters
in the town only At Of whom took

It is probable that although

GROUP
PLANS PARLEY
IN D. c.
BY JOHN Z. NEvIN. JR.

Efforts to bring the 1881 an
nual convention Of the National
Retail Credit Association to Wash
ington are being made by a dele
CATION from the local association.
The delegation will leave to
morrow afternoon for Toronto,
Canada, where the national or
ganization is meeting in conven-
ton June II to 20.
Those who are backing the
move to bring the next parley to
washington are: Harry v. Oster-
mayer. credit manager Of Wood
ward and Lothrop; Charles M.
Keefer, credit manager. Of s.
Kann and Sons Co.; John w.
Tallentire, credit manager Of the
Hecht Company; j. e. Tenley,
credit manager Of the Potomac
Electric Company, and Mrs. Ten
ley; Miss Elsie M. Lee, credit
manager Of Jelleff's; Mrs. Lor-
raine Radel, credit manager Of
Goldenberg's and DR.. and Mrs.
Joseph J. Mccarthy.
A number of others are also 60
ing to the convention in Canada
in order to aid as much as pos
sible the move by the delega-
ton. It is believed that the body
will be successful in their move
and that the next parley will be
held here.
Directors Of the Capital Trac-
ton Company, at recent meet
ing declared quarterly dividend
of 81 a share, putting the stock
on q 81. basis as compared with
the $6 dividend usually paid
yearly.
Reports that the annual diyi-
dend rate was to remain un.
changed were disproven by the
directors action. No reason was
given for the lowering of the
rate but it is assumed that the
steadily decreasing income re-
ceived by the traction company
in recent years was the cause of
the change.
James Trimble, vice president
of the National Bank of Wash
ington, returned to his office yes
terday after a motor trip through
the South.
George B. Frazer, former vice
president and trust officer of the
Munsey Trust Company, has been
appointed vice president Of the

AN UNNECESSARY "VACATION'

The Easter vacation is trying period for many parents. Many of these, bothered with the pranks of the schoolboy who had the shining face the week before, become almost distracted. The police, too, are find ing the situation quitestense. In prac- tically every section of the city, the police report, there are cases of boys damaging property in various ways.
 The condition is one peculiar to cities during a time of-the year in a climate when the parks, play grounds and other centers Of youth ful recreation during the summer offer little or nothing during April. Most playing during the Easter va cation is on the streets.
 The situation being what it is there would be well nigh universal approval if the Easter vacation of a week in the schools were elimin- ated. The youth of the city are bet ter occupied in school. April is no time for a weeks vacation. It merely wastes a weeks time.

COMMON SENSE IN FLYING

Within a week seven aviators have met death in New York and vicinity due to bad flying weather. Power lines and the top of hillsides were the death traps for the planes, and among the dead were men prominent ln aviation.
 The aviation industry is very touchy about plane accidents. The press is not assisted in its cndeavors to report such accidents. All the same, the press docs not miss any Of them. The public, too. docs not fail to note their frequent rccur- renee.
 The day may come when planes can be made to fly safely in all kinds Of weather. But until that day ar rires it would be better for the ava- ton enthusiasts to restrain them selves. A foggy. windy, rainy day is an excellent time for buying d rail- road ticket instead of going up in q plane.

"LETTER LOBBYING"

Evidence has been presented at Washington that several of the wet leaders had written letters to mem- bers of the U. s. Supreme Court relative to prohibition. Drys claim this was a species of lobbying"
 No prohibition case was before the court at the time, and indeed. the letters did not refer to any par ticular case, but to prohibition in general.
 Entering into correspondence with a public official or a judge on any public question can scarcely be termed lobbying. It is probable that the recipients of such mail would not regard it as lobbying or an at tempt to sway their minds; and at any rate, they have waste baskets along with the remainder of us.
 No, it is not lobbying; it is more like impertinence.

APPEALING NATIONAL
 ORIGINS

It appears that the national ori- gins system of restricting immigra- ton is on the way toward repeal. The Senate on Monday voted 39 to 54 to go back to the 1890 basis or determining immigration quotas, which would put the quota systen, where it was before the present change in the law went into effect on July 1, 1929.
 Lest there be confusion in some minds, let it be stated promptly that a repeal of the national origins system would not end the quota law; it would merely change the method of determining the quotas, and that only slightly.
 The slight change, however, which went into effect last July, has elicit cd widespread denunciation in some sections of the country. President Hoover himself was strongly oppos- ed to the national origins system, and when by law he was forced to | proclaim the new system in effect last July, he took occasion to say:
 While I am strongly in favor of restricted and selected immigration. | I have opposed the national origins basis. I, therefore, naturally dislike the duty Of issuing the proclamation 1 and installing the new basis, but the President of the United States must l be the first to obey the law
 The national originsssystem, which was first brought forward in 1924, professed to base immigration upon | the nationalities in the colonies at the birth of the Republic. It was frankly admitted, however, that no census remotely accurate existed at the time and the determination of the quotas on the racial >construc- ton of the inhabitants of the Is original colonies manifestly was guesswork. The net result of the guessing was that national origins made possible the increase of inn migration of England and Northern Ireland and a few other countries while decreasing possible immigra- tion from the Irish Free State, Den mark, Germany, Sweden, Norway and other countries.
 The nationalities whose quotas were cut under national origins have a good voting strength in many parts of the country, and in some cases have threatened political punish. ment of those members of Congress who approved of the national origins plan.
 That is what hurts. There Is 6 congressional election in November and the boys in the capitol building are not taking unnecessary chances.

MORE AND BETTER TRAINING

More training for school teachers that seems to be one of the mod ern ideas discussed where schoolmen gather.
 An increased training period would result in slowing up, at least temporarily, the production of new teachers from the state normal schools, which in turn would tend 10 alleviate the pressure upon the teaching ranks. At present there is a surplus of qualified teachers iu the state. How to reduce this sur plus i. a problem that faces the profession. To increase the term ot training required is a method that appeals to educators as certain 10 achieve that end and produce bet ter qualified teachers at the same time.
 A similar ideal pcrvades nearly all other professions except perhaps one, the ministry.
 Lawyers, noting the constant in crease of lawyers turned out hy the law schools, generally favor increas- ed training for embryonic legal talent at the law schools and the elimination of certain types Of schools altogether.
 Doctors, noting the constant ih- crease of medical practitioners in the cities, are told that there arc more opportunities in the country and the small towns, with the sus gcstion that more young doctors set tie in those places.
 Ministers of the gospel have less to bother about. There are fewer candidates for the ministry than formerly, the increased population considered; due, perhaps, that the average clergyman earns less and is not expected to be q clergyman for financial reasons.
 One educator recently declared that all academic education should , be elongated two years. so as to kccr young m2n out of industry, trade commerce and the professions tha' ! much longer.
 If the tendency continues and the multifarious ideas being bruitct about ever go into general practice the professional citizen will be

clutches of the law for having been arrested at the gates of a factory for speaking without a permit from the chief of police.
 The Waterbury ordinance in effect is similar to the ordinance in New Britain, which attempts to delegate the authority of free speech to the police.
 The Supreme Court of Errors of the state back in 1921 declared such an ordinance in Meriden unconstitu- tional. The Waterbury ordinance was imagine there are other municipal ordinances in the state which are quite parallel to that of the defunct Meriden and Waterbury ordinances.
 The State Supreme Court has held that it is unconstitutional for any municipality to give an official the power to give or refuse permits for public speaking, such ordinances being in plain violation of sections one and five of the state Constitu- tion; and also in opposition to the 14th amendment of the L. s. Consti- tuition.
 Free speech remains important. It is more important than what Com munists have 10 say on the streets or anywhere else. Communistic dog ma, being generally regarded as faulty and illogical, should have lit tie chance to influence many into concurrence. When it docs the leav- ening power of more logical conclu- sions will win the inevitable victory wherever democracy continues tc reign. In Russia, of course, where free speech is taboo and the Con- munists brook no more logical con- customs, the mind of man is ham. strung and the popular intelligence is kept at that low level where i knows no more than what the Com. munistic leaders feed to it through the government" organs.
 May 1 is close at hand. The police in many cities undoubtedly will b. in for another trying time. But th' 1 Communists showed the most the, 1 could do when they staged thci speechmaking recently. It is unlikel. that they will be able to surpass tn [ previous attempt, which the countr. survived without shaking to 1t foundations.
 The chief thing for all concern ed is not to take the Communist too seriously. A little humor zoe a long way. When the crowd begin to laugh nothing serious can hap pen.
