When Manners
Are Correct
By Mrs. Cornelius Beekman
After Clouds Disappear


DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I have not been living at
home for the past five years.
My father died when I was
3 years of age and my mother
married again when I was 5.
I got along very well until I
graduated from high school
and then on account of trouble
for my mother I left home
and have been living with a
middle-aged couple in another
section of the city. I have a
real home with them and I am
very happy.
My step-father did not speak
to me when I first left home
although I have always gone to
see my mother. Lately he has
been exceptionally nice to me
and seems pleased that I am to
be married soon and he likes
my fiance immensely.
My problem is, should his
name as well as my mothers
appear on our marriage an
nouncements? I do not want
in any way to slight him and
yet I want to do the proper
thing. JANE.
Since all the family clouds
seem to have blown away, you
have here a fine opportunity to
show a good spirit and a will.
hngness to let bygones be by
cones. By all means, unless
you have some reason for not
doing it, include your STEP
fathers name in your formal
announcements. You will be
taking a splendid step at this
Important time of your life, and
am sure that it can be at
tended only by good feeling and
happiness.
Addressing the Widow
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. I believe I read in one of
your articles that q widow
should always be addressed as
Mrs. John Brown" and not
Mrs. Anna Brown" Did I un-
derStand this correctly?
2. Will you kindly advise me
just how the daughter-in-law
would be addressed, after the
death of her father-in-law, as
previous to that she was Mrs.
John Brown, jr.?
After the death Of his father
the son drops the cir" doesn't
he?
/. Yes. this is the correct
form. the only correct form.
2. You do not say if the wife
Of the Senior John Brown is
living. Is she? This makes
the difference in the form of
the name that is used by both
the Junior Browns. If the wife
of the Senior Brown is living,
she is the senior Mrs. Brown,
although she does not use the
senior, only Mrs. John Brown.
The son is still John Brown,
jr., and his wife is Mrs. John
Brown, jr.
When the senior Mrs. John
Brown dies, the husband and
wife, now Junior, drop the
Junior.

Thanks for Courtesy

Thanks Tor Courtesy
DEAR MRS. BECKMAN:
If a gentleman helps a lady
on with her coat should she
thank him?

Most aSsuredly she should.
A person should thank another
for a courtesy, no matter how
slight. Any woman who takes
for granted any courtesy and
does not thank for it Is not

EFFECTS OF FINANCIAL CRISIS
 LITTLE FELT HERE.

The suspension of the gold standard by Norway, Denmark and Sweden following so closely on the heels of similar action by England, and rumors that cher European nations may be expected to take like steps in the future, makes more, stringent the financial crisis that sgnazed the British action The result renewed disturbance of public confidence in the security marts the world over. This seems to be the underlying cause for the mounting wave of liquidation which is carrying securities to figures characterized by the Associated Press as the lowest in the past six years
 What can stop or what will be the outcome of the worldwide liqu!datng movement it is idle to predict. Capitalistic confidence is at a minimum and there is what almost amounts to a panic to realize cash upon anything that can be sold. Sooner or later of course time will come when institu- tons will be able and willing to acquire fixed investments and confidence will return.
 Eastern industrialists admit that there is no question that as radical if not the most disastrous, readjustment in the history of the machine age' is taking place It is affecting values, standards of living and carrying with it unusual distress.
 Panacaas and artificial aids helpless to avert it. The cry is for cancellation of foreign debts but how this completely solve the prob lem difficult since Germany has borrowed money than she has paid, putting it into ambitious municipal improvements and, in addition, as former Ambassador Gerard has pointed out, has been lending money to Russia
 The loss of confidence thus evidenced on such a gigantic scale is on a world scale. No country is free from it. Most of its reactions adverse.
 Of all the United States, at least, and probably all the world Alaska seems to be the least affected Of any unit of government. Its industries are sol vent although it's greatest-salmon cannng-has taken terrible beating in its struggle for survival. It's citizens generally occupied at ganful occu pations There is minimum of unemployment and no suffering that cannot be taken care of by the several communities.
 Juneau, in particular, is fortunately situated. It's payrolls large anytime in it's history. More employed and more jobs exist. This, however must not be construed invitation to outside labor to come here in the search of employment It ought to be emphasized that the possibilities of employment here for the winter are exhausted and this is port for jobseekers and will not be for several months

A Patriotic Action.
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 By a vote of nearly two to one the American Legion in convention at Detroit, rejected reso- lution indorsing immediate payment Of adjusted compensation certificates and then by exclamation, adopted resolution calling upon service men to oppose movements to put financial burdens on Fed- eral State or local governments
 This is a patriotic action of the first magnitude. For the sake of business recovery and the millions who await the return of prosperity the Legion has performed fine deed. In sacrificing their own im- mediate claim, the men who met in Detroit have upheld the tradition set by the men of Chateau Thierry and the Argonne They have proved that, with them the country comes first Their decision removes the threat of a $1 GOO 900 drain from & Treasury that already faces huge deficit Their stand against unnecessary demands for money Will place check Congressional extravaganza. They have assumed unselfsh leadership that America Twill gladly follow.
 In this time of emergency, the action of the Legion in canceling bonus demands overshadows its stand Prohibition But that, too, is in the best sense American. The Legion declares itself to ba neither wet nor dry It says: Let the people vote, land then abide by the result Advocates of both sides of Prohibition should welcome that pronounce ment and Congress should heed it.
 At time when the Legion becoming the object of sharp criticism for it's political activities it willingly poStpones bonus talk and takes a stand on Prohibition that is in political. The convention of 1881 will add greatly to the prestige of the Legion as a patriotic organization

BEST MOSQUITO BITING PERIODS ARE
 REVEALED.

Fishermen have long known when fish bite best. Now the periods when mosquitoes bite best, or worst, have been revealed by entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 There mosquitoes that bite only at night, others that bite only during the day, some that bite best at sunrise and best at sundown.
 There is one grain of comfort for the mosquito ridden citizen. Only the female mosquito bites The male feeds nectar and similar substances
 Here are some mosquito schedules:
 The rain barreln common mosquito bites only at night and find her victims matter how dark it is. When flying it makes that irritating singing noise which is familiar to everyone.
 The yelow-fever mosquito usually bites close to the ground attacks from behind, and often crawls under clothing to bite. It bites only in the daytime and is busiest early in the morning and late in the afternoon It flies quietly It will bite indoors all day.
 The fresh-wster marsh mosquito known under the scientific Mansonia severe bitter is busiest just al dusk. It spends the day in the grass and will bite during the day if disturbed.
 Malarial mosquitos will bite all night long and '-'res. too in the daytime especially dark days.

THE MOTE AND THE BEAM.

In the Eastern part of the United States, from whence the persistent criticism of Alaska attitude toward the brown bear perhaps there is not as much conservation of game animals as it is sought to impose upon the Territory For years spor.smen from that section Of the country have sought to write Alaska's conservation laws and regulations, and. sometimes failing, have criticized Alaskans without stint for alleged lack of appre- ciaton of their game animals and indifference to their wellbeing.
 Now comes the New York Herald Tribune in an editorial appeal for the 'bengnant black bear. It seems that the New York State Game Commis- sion protects this lowly animal in all except six counties in the State but here is the joker-those six counties situated in the Adirondacks and ca.skills. are the only black bear country in the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-10-03

State Pleading for statewide protection the Her aid Tribune forth primarily that the black bear is not dangerous It ought to be reasonable deduc- tion that if it dangerous to human life, the demand for protection would not be made.
 On the other hand the Alaska brown bear is potentially dangerous. The list of his victims is long. Notwithstanding this, Alaskans are willing that he should have all reasonable protection, but net at the expense of man.
 We would like to suggest that the New York sportsmen lend the Herald Tribune their support in its fight to save the black bear of their State from extermination. They should first pluck the beam from their own eyes before attempting to extract the mote from Alaskans.

TRADE BARRIERS TN PAN AMERICA
 STIR ARGUMENT
Elimination Will Be Dis cussed by 2l Repub-
 lies Tn October

WASHINGTON, D. o., Oct. B. Elimination of trade barriers be- tween the 21 republics of the east ern hemisphere is to be discussed at length here this month at the fourth Pan-American Commercial Conference.
 Representatives of the govern ments and business will be assem- bled for the sessions, with large part of the program set aside for studying economic agreements to improve commercial relations.
 U. s. Attitude Cool
 A customs union proposal is ex- pected to be brought to the floor during the weeks conference short ly after it opens October 5. but the consensus of American observers is the United States will greet the idea coolly. Trade experts, how ever, point out the most important question for this country would be to what extent it would enjoy tar if concessions granted one anoth- CT by participating nations, in view of it's most favored nation agree ments.
 Customs union proposals in the past have come from the South and Central American nations, desirous of increasing their market in this country for raw materials. Observ- CTS here hold to the theory the United States bought virtually all it could, anyway, from these sourc- eS.
 E. L .Bacher of the Foreign Com- merce section of the United States Chamber of Commerce-official or ganization of big and little busi- ness in the nation-suggested to the Pan American Union support of two previous conventions toward eliminating trade barriers
 One agreement was for simplifi- cation of customs formalitieS and the other urged abolition of import and export prohibitions and re- strictions.
 Study of Agreements Urged
 Erwin w. Windney of the same organization said that "as the American nations are in themselves independent of the rest of the world economically thorough study should be given to the subject of agreements between the American nations, first between individual countries and later between groups"
 J. Gonzalez Campo, minister Of Finance of Guatemala, urged an international means of doing away with sanitary prohibitions and re- strictions when they are not ap- plicable to a certain country or area" rather than using them "as pretext to close market to products of other countries.
