in the middle west and east, who demand fibre board containers on account of economic effected thereby in lower freight rates. Up To Legislature
 "We have thus reached an inn passe. am convinced the only solution to the problem lies in the hands of the Alaska Legislature, and have offered what seems to me to be one that is equitable in every way. The twin bills which I introduced yesterday do not pro- pose to force increased taxes upon the manufacturers. They leave the decision entirely in the hands of the canners who can elect to use Alaska-made products and pay eX- actly the same tax schedules they have been paying for the past four years or, if they prefer, they can elect the non-domestic product and pay the higher rate which is im- posed for the protection of both the affected industry and for the Ter ritprial government.
 T do not thing I am overstating the case when I say that 90 per cent of the people of Southeast Alaska have expressed themselves as favoring some legislation to ef- feet the object which is sought by House Bills Nos l and 3.
 9A1so in introducing them, I am carrying out a pledge made by myself and my Democratic col leagues when we went before the voters of the First Division last fall, and in so many words sol emnly assured them if we were elected we would extend the same measure of protection to Alaska industries that preceding Legis- latures had given to Alaska labor.
 However, in presenting them I am not actuated by partisan mo- tives. They are in fact non-par- tisan since in the First Division in the 1930 campaign, the Republi- can legislative candidates advanced and pledged themselves to support a similar proposition" MT. ziegler said.A
 He added, it might be possible through the measures, if enacted into law, to suspend for the time. being and until the present depres- sion which severely handicaps Alas ka sawmills, the existing tax bur den on them. This, he said, is a contingency which cannot be defi-1 nitely determined until later.
 Text of Measure
 The text of House Bill No. l, :, which undertakes to declare the policy of protection for Alaska in dustries, is as follows.

 Whereas box shocks manufac- tured at Alaska SaWmlllS yields tOl the Territory various revenues in the form of direct property tax, excise tax, poll tax paid by the en- ployees of the saw mills and log ging camps, and stumpage paid to the Government of the United States which ultimately finds it's way to the Territorial treasury or otherwise supplies governmental needs:

Stocks and Commodities.

NEW YORK, october 10 Especially -
An analysis of the conditions in sacuri-
ties and in commodities based on prices
prevailing in 1924 and at present In
dictates that at the low level seven years
ago stock averages showed a CONT lete
def1ation of values. At the same time
commodities we're relatively high. For
instance. the average price of wheat
and corn then was S1.16 bushel, COM
pared with the present average of -
cents buShel. Cotton then was 80
cents a pound and is now about 53a
cents, copper II cents against the cur
rent price of cents and pig iron s19
a ton compared with $3.50 a ton now
1t is felt in Wall Street that price leve,s
everywhere are more debated than in
any previous depression in this coua-
try and are on a basis permitting an
impressive recovery.

Financial backing for old-time South

of owned homes all over the South, will
be planned for in Atlanta November 20

Sis5ippi. The converting delegates ere
members Of the newly organized South

Newton Gordon, LynchbCrg, Va, presi-
cent Ut the conference, will preside.
w. s Quinter of the District Building
and Loan Association is director of the
group from Washington and will be the
ranking representative of Washington
at the conference.
First Meeting of Kind.
The Atlanta meeting will be their
first get-together as an organization,
and national officials from the East and
Middle West from the United States
Building and Loan League will be
speakers, in addition to leaders from
within the new group.
Nine hundred and ten building and
loan associations, cooperative institu-
tons which lend their funds to home
borrowers, are included il the new
Southeastern Conference. which will
meet this Fall. They are located in
Delaware, District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia. West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida
and Maryland.
while the desire for home owner
ship is an urge more prevalent perhaps
In the South than in any other section
OF the country, because of our dong ira
ditions centered around the home, there
are thousands who should be living
under their own roofs who do not
realize how practical a home-owning
undertaking can be" says Mr.. Quinter.
Home Mortgage Popular.
'In some of the States in this section
the building and loan associations seem
to be the hearty survivors of the 6e-
preston ills which have not been so
lenient with other institutions. Some
are continually making loans On homes,
others are turning down funds because
they have attracted so large a number
OF investors who are confident of the
safety Of home mortgage. Only in
rare cases have investors been forced to
use up the savings they had accumu-
lated in our associations.
All this points to the extremely
favorable background for increased
home ownership against which we have
to work in this section. People believe
In the stability of homes as security
back of loans, because for nearly 200
years land has been the visible evidence
OF wealth all over these States. They
are, therefore. bringing their funds for
investment by us in this sound security
The purpose of our conference is to
plan the most effective ways to capital
lie on this prevalent belief in HON.
security and desire for home owner

known. When she was only five Rumania was plunged into the Second Balkan War. A year later Rumania becamed an armed camp in it's efforts to maintain neutral ity in the Great War. In 1916 Ru- mania cast it's lot with the Allies and Ileana was hurried off with the. royal family and the govern ment from Bucharest to the prim- itive village of Jassy beyond the reach of the guns of the Central Powers.
 There for two years the simple temporary home of King Ferdinand and Queen Marie was constantly the scene of military and political conferences. Red Cross workers from the United States and various European countries allied with Ru- mania gathered in the kings tenn porary home and all the royal fam fly took up work for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers and ref ugeeS.
 Helps Mothers Pleas
 Princess Ileana was the constant companion of Queen Marie in those days. When the queen went to the Versailles Conferefice at Paris in 1916. to plead for more liberal treat ment for Rumania, she took Ileana with her and the charming little brown -haired girl with deep violet eyes won the hearts of Clemenceau, Lloyd George, President Wilson and other leaders with whom Queen Marie pleaded for boundaries more desirable for her country.
 Princess Ileana was educated by an English governess in Rumania and was in girls school in Eng land for one year. English has al ways been the language which the Rumanian royal family spoke at home. Consequently Princess Ilca- na has not had extensive practice in German and speaks it with an accent which amuses her German relatives and will probably be equally amusing to her Austrian husband.

BUREAU CL LOSES |NUSHACAK AREA
 JULY 15 TO AUG. 3
Acts to Safeguard Escape ment in District Where
 Poor Run Reported

Acting through the United States Bureau of Fisheries, the Depart ment of Commerce yesterday issued supplementary regulations closing all commercial fishing in one Bristol Bay area and increasing the weekly closed period in two others. It also closed commercial clam fishing in two areas after July 31.
 The supp ementary regulations were received yesterday by local headquarters of the, Bureau of Fisheries and made public today by Capt M. J. OConnor, Assistant Agent.
 Under them commercial salmon fishing is prohibited in the Nusha- gak area between July Is and August 3, a period of IS days. This is tantamcunt to closing 1t until the end of the season as red sal mon fishing is finished in the entire Bristol Bay region by the  latter date. Light runs which have prevailed there for several days are assigned as the cause for the closure.
 Twelve hours were added to the weekly closed period in the Xvi chak and Naknek districts. This makes the clnsad periods from am. Wednesday to 6 pm. Thursday and from 6 pm. Saturday to 6 pm. Monday of each week. E
 Six hours additional closure were also added to upper Kvichak Bay.
 Additional regulations pronplgat- ed for Prince William Sound and Copper River closes commercial clam fishing in those districts from July 3l to the end of the calen- dar year.

ting well under way, as usual is starting off slowly. It's. total pack to last Saturday was about 30 per cent under the pack for the same period last season. This is a smaller reduction than the per- centage of reduction in gear and canneries made this Spring owing to depression and low prices for pink salmon.
 About 100000 cases had been packed in Southeast Alaska to the end of last week as compared to about 138,000 up to the same date in l930. Ketchikan and the east ern district showed small gains while the Icy Strait and Western districts were slightly below Fish arc Larger The most noticeable difference between the current season and that of 1930 is the difference in the size of the fish. In the southern end of the Division the fish are running under Il to the case and in the northern end about l2ls per case.
 Last year in the former areas they ran from g to 27 per case and in the northern districts they were as high as 25 per case.
 The take per trap this season to date, according to Capt. M. J. O'Connor, has been approximately equal to that of 1880. A great many traps were cut out by the regula- tions of the current year, and the number of seine boats operating are materially less than in 1880. Heavy Runs Later The pack to date, however, is but small proportion of the total for this district. The main runs of pinks do not usually start any, where in the region until July 15 or later. Not until the end of the present week are they expected to be showing up in the inside waters and next weeks operations should reflect improvement in runs.
 Yakutat, slightly lower than in 1880, reported gains in pinks and losses in reds. The reduction in the red pack was forseen. Last year was good cycle while this sea- son is generally recognized as an off year for reds all over South east Alaska.
 The red escapement in this dis trict, however, has been good, Capt. OConnor said.

 Subdues Balky Autos
 T am not of mechanical turn she once told the writer. "Nicky Cher brother Prince Nicholas) has the mechanical brains for our family. He is always studying machinery and boring over books of mechanics. He has tried to teach me. He can build automo- piles and he hasn't much patience with me.
 T finally learned how to drive, but 1t was job. I ran up on side walks and had to coax traffic po- licemen several times to keep out of jail But there is nothing I like better than driving my own car. It is worth all the struggle to learn how"
 Prince Nicholas, who is five yeare older than Princess Ileana, has al- ways been more of companion of Ileana than King Carol and her sisters, Queen Marie of Jigo-Slavia and ex-Queen Elizabeth of Greece. But even Prince Nicholas was so much older that he always patron- ized her and joked about her youth.
 She was the kid sister when they were travelling about the United States and when Prince Nicholas condescended to take her as part her, he twltted her about her danc- ing.

 It is as a social worker that men and women the world over par ticularly admire this delightful Bal kan princess. Formal society has never figured greatly in her life.
