NANCY PAGE Early English and German Bierdermeier Is "In"
 By Florence Ia Ganke

Lois and Margaret were going furniture hunting. August has been the month of furniture sales but this year 1t is even a more propiti- ous time than ever before because of the low cost of furniture. It is doubtful if such values can be se- cured even six months from now.
 In their search they found that early American furniture was not quite as popular as it had been. Provincial styles, especially French. leads the early American. But more popular than either was the early English. This may be true, as the salesman told Lois, because the majority of Americans are of English descent and have feeling for English furniture. This furni- ture is developed in oak and oak with walnut combinations.

CHAPTER XVIII

My dear" began Mrs Clees, paugh expansively. T can't tell you how glad am Give IS brightening up so."
 Liane looked up. In her plain black frock with the bronze goid of her hair demurely framing her rosy face she looked like happy child this morning.
 "He does seem more interested. doesn't he?" she observed de- murely. The old lady favored her with a sharp glance.
 "Very," she said with firmness "And he seems to have given up his plan of going east. At least he doesn't speak of it any more."
 Liane cast down her dark eyes. The lashes made a faint shadow on her cheek. Now was certainly not the time to speak. No, that would . be too precipitate. What should she say, when the time cameY Mrs Cleespaugh your son has asked me to be his wife," No, no, that never would do. That was too stiff and old fashioned. And then too. the news should come from Give direct. Would his mother like 1t? Would she be offended that she had not been let into the secret earlier?
 Liane felt a faintness, almost, at the thought. Then she remembered Muriel Ladd Haunting that star sapphire ring on the third finger of her greedy little hand and she straightened.
 i've got to forget about him some way-s-omehow," she told herself, thinking of Van Robard. !. "This is the way. This is heaven sent"
 She went on demurely sorting notes, slipping rubber bands on piles of cancelled checks. This was not the time for condolences La ter, perhaps.

 Brown found fine gold about a half mile from the mouth of Hall creek. He located the Hall Creek Placer claim and has done enough work to be convinced that the property is rich.
 Starting at the edge of the creek, he made crosscut 20 feet wide in the shaleon flase bedrock IS inches deep Gold was scattered all thru the shale Forty feet from the creek small nuggets of gold began to appear and 70 feet back he reports the nine-foot bank of shale carries much coarse gold, which is increasing as work pro- gresses.

In spite of mass of detal work, organization work and clearing out of matters of con trOversial nature, the convention of the Alaska Native Brother hood at Ia7~utat last month took up matters of vital importance to themselves, to the people they directly represent and to the rest Of the Territory which is directly interested. And the manner in which they met each problem, their sincerity of purpose and open-mlnded discussion showed a definite and positive under standing even greater than many so-callel highly literates of the territory have shown. We present the various resolutions herewith:

Polite Traffic Rebukes

An American traveller in Paris observes the greater spirit of friendly cooperation between traffic officers and motorists there than at home In an American newspaper he describes an encounter between a traffic offender and a policeman. The latter pointed out all the formers faults quite concretely, but utterly without passion or raneor, and the former spoke up on his own behalf, equally without passion or insolenee. When they parted it was with friendly mods and a pleasant farewell.
 The affair contrasted most favorably with encounters have seen and experienced with our own traffic guardians" writes the observer, and adds: Why is it? A finer spirit of what we talk about in America as cooperation, one may reply. But why do they have it' The European attitude and tolerance, you may say. But that is begging the question
 So he leaves bis own question unan- swered, because he doesn't know the answer And other observing travellers who have been conscious of the same phenomenon, and equally unable to explain II, wonder whether American instability in traffic and elsewhere is the result of greater nervous tension or perhaps greater prevalence of ln- ferority compexes.

Waterway Progress

It is good to find that even If Canada and the United States do build tariff walls against each other. they can still join like good neghbors in traffic facilities 10 carry their goods 10 other countries. here IS new life in the St Lawrence waterway pro- feet Premier Bennett has expressed bis willingness to help push it. and President Hoovers favorlte position is well known. Direct negotiations were started recently between the two governments. and It IS thought likely that the necessary treaty for the joint project will be ready for congress slona action next winter.
 There is also sudden revival of opposl- ton in New York. which naturally prefers seaway through her own territory, from Lake Erie or Ontario to the Hudson. ] here is no essential antagonism between the two plans. Both projects may be developed eventually. to care for the growing volume of traffic. Each has advantages. But Il happens that the St Lawrence or interna- tonaI route will cost much less to build and has much more extensive support in this country than the New York route. So the latter will probably have to retain for some time to come it's present status of barge canal It is well fitted for that purpose and has far greater facilities than have yet been used

Airway Guideposts

The story Holger Hoiris. Danish aviator, told of the transatlantic flight made by him. self and Mir Hilig had many interesting points One in particular should be taken 10 heart by readers all over the civilized world. The flyers had missed Ireland because of fog and mists They hadn't notion where they were when they finally sighted land and began to look hopefully for Copenhagen, They flew for three hours over well-cult va,ed country with rich fields and rows of fruit trees They thought it was England. but decided after further observations that it was not. Had they penetrated France? A few wndmls made them think it might be Holland, They didn't recognize any thing.
 Finally. he writes we read on lhe roof of house the word 'Ostende'. and al last we were able to fix our position as being over the famous Belgian watering place.
 Motorists on highways get lost without proper markers scattered along their route. It's still harder to identify a strange land from the air if you don't happen to know the local geography pretty well, Airway signs on roofs of public buildings are urgently called for.

Some More Reflections

The latest in the anonymous Mirrors
 series IS just of the press and those who de light in rude eareatures are sure of enter tainment for the writer or writers have col lected the leading candidates for the presI- dency in l932 and placed them before one of those convex mlnored surfaces which reflect such startling and ludlcrous images. We don't know whether the latest expose @ IS by the author of the Mirrors oi Washington. which created such furore a few years back but certainly the Mirrors of l932" doesn't contribute anything new or original to tbe political news of the day.
 Most of us are familiar with the earlier political history of President Hoover which involves mention of bis name for the nom inaton for president as early as 1920, but that year on the democratlc ticket. If the author of the new Mirrors which will be offered for sale this week, imagines for one instant that something startling or new is being offered for our delectatlon then he or she or they have set tber rehectors al an angle. They are out of focus be democratic leanin2s of Mr Hoover were psraded before the nation of voters three years ago with little or no effect upon hiS ability To win rhe November elections,
 Since there is no lack of candidates for the presidency in the democratic party the reader will ind good many chapters de voted to sueb' figures as Governor Roose- welt of New York; his predecessor Alfred E. Smith another New Yorker. Owen D. Young, the General Electric magnate the one time war secretary of Woodrow Wilson, Newton D. Baker. that firm espouser of states rights. Governor Ritehle of Mary land. There are also several republican figures in addition to that of the president Calvin Coolidge. Dwight Morrow. U. $. senator, and Governor Clifford Plnchot of Pennsylvania are on this list. It is unfor-
 unate that the book was published just before Governor Pincbot performed the diff feult feat of landing a l57-pound sword fish with rod and line. That sounds like better reading for these sullry days.
 As literary contribution we fear tbe latest in the Mirrors series is lacking in good many points. As contribution to the political history of the nation it is somewhat incomplete. inssmueh as it merely reflects the shell and doesn't penstrate to the meat of each nut. It will probbaly be hailed in those
