Sufficient Reason

A style authority says he cannot un.
derstand why more men do not have
twelve suits Of clothes-four for each

many OF US dislike to burden the valet

JUNEAU RADIO CLUB
 WILL MEET TONIGHT
 IN COUNCIL CHAMBER

To discuss future plans of clear ing up radio interference and to hear reports of progress made dur ing the last two weeks, the Jul neau Rad.o Club will meet at 6 o'clock tonigh in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, it has been announced by M D. Williams president.
 At present time the organization has more than one-half hundred members on its books, but it is the aim of the club to have many more. There are hundreds of radio owri- CTS in Juneau, and it is urged as many as possible attend.
 It is believed, MT Williams said, that if radio owners would attend a meeting they could see for them selves the value of the work which the Radio Club is doing and is planning for the future, and would therefore become firm supporters.

 SATURDAYS CHILDREN" AT PALACE TOMORROW

For three days in success sion Miss Griffith and her leading man, Grant Withers, who plays op- posite her in Saturdays Children" 1" her latest First National -Vitaphone picture, to be shown at the Palace tomorrow, consumed peanuts from early morning until late at night.

PIONEERS PASS 1 RESOLUTION
 REGENT SESSION
Highway from South to Far North Is Given
 Formal Approval

Four resolutions, including in- 1 dorsement of the Pacific Yukon Alaska Highway, were adopted at the recent Grand Igloo of the Pio- neers of Alaska, in the twenty second annual session at Anchorage.
 The resolutions, in order, fol- low:
 Resolution No.
 Whereas, The property laws of Alaska are unjust to the modern woman who is taking her place in business, industry and legislation; and
 Whereas, Woman is entitled to equal protection of property rights with man, which most states of the union have acknowledged by the adoption of adequate laws; and
 Whereas, The laws of dover and curtesy are obsolete, especially in view of the modern activities and independence of woman;
 Be it resolved by the Grand Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, in annual session at Anchorage, Alaska, that we believe in equal rights and op- portunities for both sexes, and are in favor of a community property law for the Territory of Alaska, and request the next Territorial Legis- lature to adopt such a law, and suggest that the same be modelled after that of the state of Washing ton.
 Re9oluticn No.
 Whereas, The election laws of the territory, through many changes, amendments and appeals, have be- come mystery to the voter, a pug gle to the judges, are often vague and contradictory and fail as a guide to the honest voter and do not constitute menace to the dishonest one:
 Be it resolved by the Grand Ig- loo, Pioneers of Alaska, in annual session at Anchorage, That the election laws of the territory should 'be revised, amended and codified, and the territorial legislature at it's next session is requested to pass law which shall provide for such provision, amendment and codifica- ton.
 Resolution No. 3
 Whereas, The natural appeal of See America First" and the in creasing desire of the public to tour the country as means of pleasure, recreation and education, is rapidly making of Americans a migratory people; and
 Whereas, No advertising that can be given Alaska could compare with the actual experience and the personal contact of an auto trip through the territory; and
 Whereas, The benefits that would follow the construction of an auto mobile road connecting the city of Seattle, in the state of Washington, with the interior reaches of this vast territory cannot be envisioned at the present time; and
 Whereas, Such a road is entirely feasible and requires no stretch of the imagination to see accom- plished:
 Therefore be 1t resolved by the

POLA NEGRI IS AT
 COLISEUM SATURDAY

A woman on trial has twice as much chance for acquittal as a man.
 A woman with a child has twice as much chance for acquittal as a childless woman.
 Why?
 Is it chivalry on the part of jur- ies-the realization of a greater suf- fering-or are women less often guilty of crimes charged than men?
 This question is an interesting sidelight of The Woman on Trial" starring Pola Negri, and due at the Coliseum Saturday.

SESSION VIEWS OWN NATION AS GREATEST TRADE FEED

NEW YORK, March 20. = Great strides are being made in the de- velopment of foreign markets for American made goods but the Unit ed States remains as the greatest field for expansion believes Fran cis H. Sisson, Vice President of the Guaranty Trust Company.
 Its potentialities are seen when it's population is compared with countries of Europe.
 Sisson said that if the density of the population of the country were equal to France there would be four times it's present popuia ton. If equal to Germany 1t would be increased to 1,150,00O 00O and to England it would be boosted tc 210O,O0O0 900.
