Business Men Endorse DriUe
For Community Chest Fund

able to accept smaller amounts
from the city which supports q
chest for the reason that they are
saved the expense of placing So
licitor in the field. /, therefore,
consider that a Community Chest
both saves money for the contribu-
tor and makes money for worthy
charity.n-Harold G. Fyfe.
"The Community Chest Of Ken
newick should be supported by
everyone in this vicinity because
the major portion Of the money to
be received by it will be at once
turned over to local organizations
to be spent for the direct benefit
of the parties who have contribut-
ed tx. c. Clifford.
'The relative success Of Com
munity Chest is an index to the
enthusiasm and public spiritedness
of the members of community.
For this reason I deem it import
ant that the Community Chest
should be a success. Other cities
are watching to see how success
full we are in this venture. Public
ity for q city is as important as
for a commercial business. / con-
slider that the favorable publicity
accorded a city which supports
and maintains successfully a COM
chest is as beneficial as any
other kind of advertisement. 1t
means that the community is pro-
gressive and united."- G. s.

Voicing their approval of the
campaign, several business men
have given their endorsement of
the community chest in the follow
ing words:
''The Community Chest war
rants the support of every citizen.
It is more than a mere drive for
money. A community can be just
~ proud of itself if it successfully
conducts a Community Chest. Such
a venture promotes community un-
ity and instills community pride"
Gus Neuman.
"By making use of a Commun-
ity Chest the city and community
in general is able to give more in
diligently. The committee has in
vestigated all of the charities sup
ported by the chest and each con-
tributor can be sure that his
money will go for worthy chart
ties..E. C. Smith.
ST am in favor of the Commun-
ity Chest, among. other reasons,
from a purely business standpoint.
One drive disposes of all solicita-
ton for charitable giving. After
that drive has been conducted
everyone who is then solicited will
be entitled to refuse to discuss
charitable contributions with any
solicitor. In this way a saving of
time and money is effected" 81.

JUNEAU GIRL IS
 HIGH IN STUDIES AT OREGON STATE

Iris Gray sophomore optional at Oregon State College, Corvallis, Ore gon, was one of the eighty-nine students placed on the scholastic honor roll as result of her scholarship during the past term. To gain this honor a student must have no grade less than "B" and must carry not less than 15 credits of work
 The registrars report, which made public Miss Gray's attainment, showed that sophomore and junior students outnumber the other two classes on the honor roll. Fresh men came next and seniors last. With about $500 students enrolled at Oregon State during the past term, Miss Gray's rating on the superior list places her among the upper 3 per cent in scholastic ability. Seventeen students made perfect scholastic records during the term with "A" in every sub- feet taken

GASTINEAU CHANNEL BRIDGE.

The formal approval of the Secretary of Agri- Chanel, connecting Juneau and Douglas, and the Douglas Island and Thane roads projects revealed in The Empire last week, is indeed welcome news to the citizens of both and others residing on both sides of the Channel This project is nc listed the Approved Project Program of the United States Forest Service and the United States Bureau of Public Roads for future accomplishment.
 Just when that will be cannot be fixed with exactitude. But, under the circumstances and con ditions, it will not be long deferred The inclusion of the project the approved program is conclusive proof that the Federal bureaus back of it have given the matter very thorough consideration. Not only the need for the bridge but ways and means of financing it have been studied with satisfactory results Were it otherwise the project would never have reached the approved stage
 This means of course, that there will be no need for anyone to go to Congress to get special egsla- ton to authorize the project and to get the money with which to carry it out When the time arrives that the two bureaus satisfied that conditions justify beginning construction, it is only necessary to set it up and ask for the allotment of available funds to launch the work.
 It cannot help but be a matter of qualification that the project has reached that status. The bureaus particularly the chiefs, for the interest which has been displayed in this and has prompted them to push it along.

The Boy Scouts.
Cincinnati Enquirer

The Boys Scouts represent organization to which the country must look for the permanence of
 its noblest traditions, the achievement of it's loftiest ideals the preservation of it's tried and endeared institutions To this organization we must look as upon an impregnable barrier against the Soviet design to corrupt American youth through it's coun- reorganization of Young Pioneers"
 The nation honors the Boy Scouts, indorses the programs and principles of the organization it is in full accord with the intentions and pur- poses of the organization to grow and extend itself
 Just now the Boy Scouts begin a new period of intensive growth Cr:Yc has been started to raise a fund of sl0000000 and for increasing the Am erican membership from 100000 to 1000000o and on.
 This drive should succeed it will succeed With the Daughters of the American Revouton-now in national session this week at Washngton-inten- svey keeping the fires of patriotism burning, the growing millions of Boy Scouts should nightly in- fluence the destinies of real true America. These two great organizations constitute the Governments best hope and reliance for an inestimable future They laboring to keep America American; they are laborng to keep this country free from any and every semblance of entanglement with foreign nations. That they will succeed is the belief and trust of every true and loyal citizen of this republic
 This great movement of Scout improvement and advancement was started few days ago at Wash ington, where President Hoover made one of the most eloquent and touchingy human and truly Am erican speeches of his He spoke of the necessity for keeping the boys or America in close contact with 'the portals of adventure and structve joy by reviying the lore of the frontier and the campfire; by establishing contacts with the birds by matching patience to the deliberative character of fish; by efficient operation of the old swimmin' hole, and by peeps into the thousand and one mysteries of the streams, the trees and the stars"
 An, yes, the destines of America very truly are in the hands of these boys and of the Girl Scouts and of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution It should be the devout prayer of every American heart that they should go on from con- quest to conquest from victory to victory carry ing the aegis of the nation representative of its power and majesty, to the end that the world may come to know and to realize the unselfishness and the mightiness of this American people and their republic.

Banks Buying Securities.
Boston News Bureau.)

Banks are buying securities They not buy ing to protect the market, the case last fall They are not buying from any of duty. They are buying because bank officials persuaded that in buying now they serving the interest of their institutions in practical way.
 Figures compiled by the Federal Reserve Board show that on April leading banks throughout the country owned securities valued at $5 721 O0O 000-the highest point since June 26, 1929 For four weeks ended April they increased their in vestment holdings $l93,OoOoo0 or an average of nearly s500Oooo0 week. Possibly this accounts, in part for the rising prices of recent weeks.
 There is compelling for this buying. Banks-at least most of them-are out of debt to reserve banks. They have surplus funds hand; if they force this money into the call money market they must inevitably drive rates down. They prefer to buy securities where yield is fair and there is chance for at least moderate profit
 It is impossible to say whether banks will con- tinue to add to their security holdings But it is reasonable to assume that if it comes to a choice between buying securities and having idle funds banks will undoubtedly buy securities.
 Demand for commercial loans is still light Lead ing banks lending less to commercial borrowers than for than two years. And the fact that these credits have been reduced $l51 100000 four weeks ended April at least suggests that banks must either lend securities buy securities If they decide to increase their security hold ings, they may meet some competition from nsur- ance companes-especally life insurance companies During the decline in securities the latter part of 1929 life companies not able to take advantage of the buying opportunity large scale, because of the heavy demands for loans on policies Now however, the demand for such loans is much lighter.

PREDATORY ANIMAL CONTROL
 FUNDS.

Alaska is than casually interested in leg isation pending the National Congress initiating a predatory animal control program and providing funds for it's effectiveness Wolves and coyotes for many years have been increasing in numbers and scope of range in the Territory, and the ravages made by them all forms of wild animal and bird life have been astoundingy large surveys made by experienced Government agents have shown
 The Territory has not been unmindful of this condition. It has attempted to meet in two ways, first by the payment of bounties on both wolves and coyotes, and, second, by the use of predatory animal hunters operating against the predators and, also training trappers in methods by which wolves and coyotes may be successfully taken It has borne alone almost all of the cost of this work, and many thousands of dollars have been appropriated from the Territorial treasury to defray the costs of bounties and the protective work On popula- tion basis probably few States in the Union have exceeded Alaska per capita basis in expendi- lures for this kind of game protection.
 Inasmuch as the Federal Government has re- tained to itself the right to legislate on Alaskan game and bearing animals and Alaska furnishes breeding grounds invaded by wolves and coyotes for migratory birds for large part of the nation it is no imposition the Federal Government II 1t is asked to bear at least reasonable share of

JAILING THE POPULATION.

Attorney General Mitchell recently reported Federal prison population increase of 6277 in the nine months between June 3o 1929 and April l. 1880. The total on the former date was 19349 and the latter it 25,626, increase of more than 32 per cent.
 There 12061 in Federal pententiaries and reformatores compared to 10,068, gain of almost 1000. And this increase almost entirely com posed of offenders of the Prohibition Law, the relative figures being 1887 and 3698 Federal pris in local and county jails, not classified to crime, were 9,287 last June and 13565 April I, last
 Nr. Mitchell was using these figures to show that Prohibition enforcement improving That it does prove is matter of viewpoint. It might be suggested that after 10-year trial at enforce ment. the law if it is ever to become respected and observed by the people of the United States, would begin to show decline in the number of violations and consequent convictions rather than increasing number of both
 It is admitted by the Government that the question Of housing it's prison population is a serious problem Now comes the President of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment with the statement that three out of four Americans in revolt against the law. If the Government is going to make a serious effort to convict all those who violating the law, it well be seen that there is likely to be urgent demand for jails in which to house the population it is lined up before the bar of justice and haled off for imprisonment.

DIETING CUTS WHEAT CONSUMPTION

The modern feminine desires for senderness has altered market conditions of long standing cut the consumption of bread by 20 per cent. and materially affected the wheat sales of the entire world, in the opinion of a scientist the staff of a prominent eastern college. Doctors and beauty parlors have helped to bring about these changes
 Tn the vitamin hunt, meat consumption has been slashed the hunters turned to oranges, grape fruit pneapples lettuce, tomatoes and canteloupes. And now that the cause of the declines in the con- sumption has been revealed what price the remedy? The consumer is the only who apply it, and the female of the species in search of slender
 ness is not likely to' develop either bread or meat complex even under the most pressing urging.
