cannot forbear commenting upon
the plan of one of the country's great
est employers Ito guarantee so weeks
work a year to its employees" which is
merely an emphatic example OF IN
dustrial courage. This plan has a
pronounced value, in that it banishes
the feeling of insecurity among its
workers, who are thus free to contract
for and purchase goods and commod-
tiles based on an assured so weeks
schedule each year. Their purchases,
of course, mean the necessity of labor
in other establishments. Not all en-

a plan, but all could adopt the prtn-

.FARLON ADMITS
 TAPPING WIRES
 AND GETS FINED
Rejects Local Company $ Offer to Settle, Finds
 Court Rates Higher

Clarence Farlon, arrested last week for stealing juice" from the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, this morning entered a plea of guilty and was fined s1oO Tn the United States Commission CTS Court by Judge Charles Sey. Unable to pay the fine, he was rcmanded to the custody of United States Marshal Albert White to serve out the fine in the local Federal jail at the going rate of S2 per day.
 Farlon, it is said, tapped one of the company's wires and brought in the circuit to cabin on lower Front Street, and for four months had the advantages of electrical power without the handicap of re- ceiving any monthly bill for that service.
 When it discovered the matter, the company proposed that Farlon pay it the minimum monthly charge for four months, have meter installed and put up the re- quired deposit, offering to let the matter drop. But he couldn't see it that way. Hence his arrest and trip to the Commissioners Court and subsequent proceedings which cost him many times the settlement proposed by the con- pany.

WHALE SHOT BY HUNTERS SINKS
 THEIR GASB0AT
Two Occupants of Graf Barely Escape with
 Lives to Island

i ShipWrecked by whale near the mouth of Glacier Bay was the experience last Friday of John F. Flagg, wireless operator, and Jos- eph Anderson, both residents of Hoonah. The leviathan smashed the boat--a 30-foot gasoline power ed craft-to pieces, and the occu- pants were glad to escape with their lives to the spit of a nearby island given over to fox raising. They were still marooned there yesterday.
 Flagg and Anderson in their little vessel left Hoonah last Thurs day on hunting and fishing trip. On entering Glacier Bay, they saw a whale and took a shot at it. The mammal thereupon swam toward the boat. Its occupants, realizing their danger, quickly launched a skiff, got into it with a rifle, and rowed ashore.
 The whale capsized the gasboat and then in flashing around broke it into pieces. g
 Word of the strange accident was brought to Juneau by George w. Jones, Deputy United States Marshal at Hoonah. He arrived here on the motorship Estebeth yesterday. News of the affair was received at Hoonah Saturday. Flagg and Anderson were still on the fox island when Deputy Marshal Jones took passage on the Estebeth at Hoonah early yesterday morning.

Dan even if she did appear to be in her early
twenties. But he couldn't mistake the eager
ness with which Little Dan slid from the gang
way at the end of each weStbound trip.
Little Dan commenced to notice things about
the same time; signs which indicated to him
that a sincere attraction between his father
and Emma had come into being, signs which
disturbed and embarrassed him in their pres
ence.
Then the thing happened, turn of affairs
which brought the relationship between the
men to critical stage.
1t was a night of snow and wind when the
westbound express called for the signal at the
home terminal. Big and Little Dan slid from
the gangway and hurried toward the locker
room, where stripped of overclothes, they scrub
bed their faces in steaming water.
The two men covered the distance to their
home without word, to find the house dark
and empty. Little Dan found the note, read
it aloud in stumbling words. The note said
that Emma was going back home to Ohio, was
leaving on No. 4.
Little Dan looked into his fathers tired old
eyes and saw a misery there which he had
never seen before. And Big Dan, gazing word
leSsly at his son, look of hurt which
recalled those nights long ago when a mother
less lad had sobbed for no reason that he could
explain.
For long time the men stared at each other
Then the telephone sounded through the cold
house
I'm get it," Little Dan said huskily. Big
Dan stood holding the letter in trembling
hand while the younger man lifted the tele-
phone receiver and listened For moment
there was silence, then: Wait a minute I'll
ask dad" Little Dan said
He turned to face his father, and seemed to
notice for the first time that Big Dan was
getting old.

the door; no odor or cooking food, no wife or
mother to welcome them. Instead, the house
would be dark and cold And they would stum-
BILE about in the awkward fashion of two hun
cry men, to turn on lights, build fires, cook
and serve coarse food, food without the flavor
or the warmth which only woman could
lend to it,
That was the night when Big Dan voiced
his dissatisfaction to Little Dan; made it
kind of indictment of himself, made it appear
that he realized for the first time how badly
Little Dan had been cheated in the matter
Of home. But Little Dan attempted to make
light Of the matter.
"Oh, I wouldn't feel that way about it.
Dad" he said. Maybe don't miss the thing
I've never had"
But that's it, Son." Big Dan muttered. You
don't know what you've missed, an it's my fault
that something's been left out Of your lfe"
well, couldn't we get us a housekeeper?"
Little Dan said. I'VE make good money. May
be we could find a good woman"
who could we get to come an live here,
Son?" Big Dan asked. Wed want somebody
nice an"
How about Red Durbin's widow?" Little Dan
interrupted. Remember, Red Durbn who was
killed two or three years ago down on Moselle
flats? Seems to me heard some Of the boys
sayin she worked around at different places"
EMNdA DURBIN came to Big and Little Dams
l. home as housekeeper and after that home
coming on a stormy night was much different
from what it had been before her coming.
There were bright lights and warmth and appe-
tizing food and the pretty face Of Emma Dur
bin to greet the engine crew when they stamped
in at the end of a run.
The arrangement was a happy one for
time, until Big Dan commenced to notice
growing interest between the young widow and
Little Dan, and it caused him to mutter to
himself.
He tried to convince himself that what he
saw did not mean what he thought it meant,
because Emma was 10 years older than Little

Big Dan and Little Dan plodded through the
storm, reaching the station just the mail
came to STOP From pilot beam to rear mark
ers the train was wrapped in snow and ice,
with its bell giving off that muffed sound
peculiar to bells in falling snow.
Little Dan measured the water in the tender
with broom handle and loaded the fire with
coal. Big Dan poked a flaming torch and a
long shouted oil about among the rods OF
the great Pacific type locomotive; then they
were gore three hours late on No. 8's schedule.
"How's the fre?" Big Dan called into the
noise.

The details arc never the same, buC the
main idea invariably runs clear and strong
through each narrative: a story OF a railroad
engineers love for his son. love which had
its beginning 25 years ago when Big Dan
Moberly found himself widower with an in
fant son on his hanls.
1t is a sscry Of how Big Dan reared that
baby with no help worthy of mention and
shaped boys life to follow in his own toot-
steps and if the narrator happens to be an old
timer he will trace the chuds development
through those early years when Big Dan oc-
cupied the dual role of father and mother 10
Little Dan.
He will build up a pretty picture of the en-
gneer telling the child bedtime stories, stories
having to do with the railroad, the engines and
the men who manned those wonder1ul IRON
horses Little Dan demanded hero for each
story and that hero could be none other than
Big Dan himself. 49,
IF Big Dan realized whittier his telling
was leading his son his conscience did not re-
nroach him For next to his motherlesS son his
faster passion was for his engine and MS run
on the mail. And he could think of no occu-
patton for his more to his liking than 10
have to climb the iron ladder of an engine cab.
I Usually the switch shanty version of the
~ story would dispose of a dozen years in
as nany words. The narrator would tell Oh
Little Dams first job in the roundhouse, and
would hurry along to the time he at last
became fireman for Big Dan.
Always at this point the switch shanty crew
would sense that the vital part of the story
had been reached.
Often the story tellers disagreed in the mat
ter of Just when it started, but always they
were of ona mind regarding the cause. A
woman woman came between man who
had forgotten the existence of women and
lad who bad cried himself to sleep hundred
times for want of a mother to comfort him.
The accepted version of the story told OF a
stormy night when father and son were headed
toward the home terminal at the head end OF
a WIS bound express train. Little Dan hung
up his coal scoop and shouted: Looks like
were goin' to make it on time, dad"
Yep, you kept her at tn poppin' point all

makes good contrast with any
color combination, but there are
blues, tans, yellows and greens for
those who warlt them.
Since shirts are tucked inside the
trunks and the belt shows, belts look
best when they tie up with the color
combination of the shirt and trunks,
rather than make a harsh contrast.
Beach robes, whether they're
worn with black and navy one-piece
suits or with the more colorful two
piece outfits, have plenty of color,
too.
Most Of them are made of fan
mel. Some of terry cloth or bath
toweling. There are few short,
thigh-length robes being worn, but
thee great majority of them are
longer-long enough to cover the
legs comfortably when the sun gets
too strong.
Both striped and solid color robes
are worn. the solid colors a little in
the lead. Occasional small, allover
patterns, checks and plaids are
seen.
The most fashionable colors are
blue, green, brown, yellow, white
and gray. Double and single-breast-
ed models are worn by enough men
to make both fashionable.
