Seventeen contacts with large en-
ployers of labor was made during the
! two months. Mr.. Jackson reported
the employers informed him they
were having difficulty to maintain
their present forces without any adj
ditions. The Urban League has or

 Still on the inquirerS' seat l gathered information regarding the country from many sources. Susitna Valley had "wiSed" up trappers, prospectors, and others to the fact that Matanuska Val ley was in truth secondary m some respects, especially for furs, gold and oil prospects. Susitna was still a virgin field to homestead CTS and little ground was locat- ed for gold-none as yet for oil. The name of the new town had been changed from Ship Creek to Anchorage. Its growth had been wonderful. Its climate was fine. Several thousand people had built homes, hotels, business hous- es, etc. Business was thriving. all were happy in the expectation ot a prosperous future in their new homes when the Alaska Railroad was finished.
 Three years passed. Develop ments-changes came. Comes now a call from the States, a pressing one from a dear mother who Is about to pass on to another scene of action. A hurried exit from the ranch and rush for steamer. The big valleys and their rich contents would be there when I returned. Eventually I did, but alas, the Land Office decided that I had been gone too long, six months are lacking for final proof on my homestead-my three years go for nothing-my land is taken from me. It seems that Uncle Sam needs my land, he has so little. This land is idle.
 In the summer of 1926 comes from San Francisco an outfit equipped for prospecting for coal in the Matanuska coal field. Three holes are drilled, oil gas is flow ing and the operator quits and leaves for home In the spring he returns with a Starr drill to try this time for oil. He has had no trouble to secure money for the enterprise and though he IS not an oil man he is willing to try anything once.
 The well is "spudded in" and drilling begins. The people are made hopeful of great and pros porous times when the oil comes in."
 Five summers pass. Each spring the drilling is resumed but Is closed down by September or Oc- tober.
 Early in this drilling, oil gas ls encountered in increasing quan- titles. High grade gravity oil < strongly indicated. Vacuum jars are secured from Los Angeles and

often thanked me for what did for her."
Mrs. Renshaw regards her work as an ad-
venture IN human nature. Each person is for
her laboratory experiment as well as human
being needing help. She says the grave re-
sponsfbility involved tends TO increase hui
mility in approaching the problem.
"As you can readily see, the value of the
work is threefold," she explained. 'It is
remedial re-education follow-up after psy-
chiatric adjustment-in social relationships in
family relationships and in communicative APP
proach. Psychiatrists find after they have
uncovered the inhibitons, repressions and
hidden emotions which have created psychoses
or neuroses, that work is needed in building

often send their patients to me.

to relieve strain, to come back in their re-
lationships with their fellow man, to reduce
braggadocio, to relieve self-consciousneSS and
thereby to perfect their success through midi

to others.
'.For instance, not so long ago o man who
for years had been a successful cotton broker
in Arkansas came to see me. He had failed in
his business. had left his wife and children,
and when he walked into this room he was
beaten. Everything in his attitude and voice
indicated 1t.

he said.
How far his approach was from his am
bition! He was conscious of failure In business
and meeting his obligations to his family-as
complete q case Of maladjustment as I ever
saw. After three years Of irregular work he
became . salesman for a line Of articles which
are difficult to sell and was averaging regularly
$500 month.
sGNIOT long ago a woman who was doing
public speaking came to me. She was
very nervous, her hands shook, and even the
trimming on her hat shook as long as I let her
keep it on. The first thing she told me was
that she had heart trouble and wanted my
advice as to whether Of not she should continue
her platform work. You can imagine the
responsibility felt in making such q decision.
Her nervousness was caused by self-conscious-
ness, q defect easily remedied, and she has
since been pursuing her speaking with both
pleasure and profit to herself.
"The second phase of the work is vocational"
Mrs. Renshaw went on to explain. "In this,

must know how to use his voice to get an
emotional appeal over to the jury. The minister
must put over an emotional appeal from his
pulpit and his delivery is mainly responsible
for his success or his failure. It seems to me
that one Of the chief reasons for the empty
seats in churches is that most ministers know
so little about how to use their voices.
