Marriage is not guaranteed

to make a woman perfectly
happy; it is only guaranteed to
make her less unhappy than
any of its substitutes.
We pay everything worth
while in this life yet a woman
is always shocked to discover
that even loves young dreams
has a price-tag attached to it.
Dying "for love" is out Of
fashion. But killing for love is
such a popular fad, that you
have to keep the shades pulled
down, to avoid seeing your ro-
mantle neighbors shoot each
other up.
There are two ways of reduc-
ing-both painful. One is to
give up starcheS and improve
your digestion: the other, to
fall in love and lose your ap-
petite.

20, 100000 People Are
In Dire Distress

The strategy of the Ad-
ministration is now clear; to
place the responsibility for
the unprecedented depres-
sion in America upon
Europe and to pass the re-
sponsibility for increasing
the taxes here upon the
party which does not have
the presidency or the Senate
and has the House by a
margin of two or three votes.
Meanwhile, DR.. Julius
Klein, inspired spokesman of
the Administration, un-
abashed by the unvarying
failures of his pollyanna
prophecies, smilingly re-
sumes his place before the
microphone with another
gem OF thought:
Like genius, profits these
days are a matter of perspi-
ration rather than inspira-
tion."
And he might have added
that wages are a matter of
desperation, but he is more
concerned with profits than
with wages.
With chirply cheeriness,
he tells of factories running
full force" and to capacity,
and Of an industry that has
Increased it's profits by 10
per cent over last year"
and, at the time he spoke,
he knew the Governments s
own report shows an in
crease of 2.7 per cent in un-
employment this months over
last. These exercises in op-
timism by the Doctor butter
no bread and furnish no
bread to butter, but they do
no harm, and coax an unac-
customed smile these days,
provided they do not inter
fere with the collection of
funds to feed the hungry.
For 100000 breadwin-
ners are still out of work.
And 100000 people are
in dire distress.

Placing the
Responsibility

That necessity is giving
serious concern to the Ad-
ministration and its con-
gressional leaders. They are
afraid of the effect on the
people who must go deeper
into their pockets; and, be-
cause the Democrats have
captured the House by a
very narrow margin, the
strategy is to place the re-
sponsibility for the tax in
crease upon the Democrats.
The deficit is an Admins
tration deficit.
The enormous loss in for
elgn trade and the resulting
loss in customs revenue is
due in a measure to the
tariff that the Administra-
tion forced through over the
protest of the Democrats
and a number of Republi-
cans.
The enormous loss in reve-
nue. from income and cor
poration taxes is due in
large measure to the burst
ing of the stock market
bubble, which, over the pro-
test Of Senator Glass, was
inflated by the Administra-
tion until it burst.
The responsibility for the
deficit is on the Administra-
ton; and, where. the respon-
sibility for the deficit is,
there lies the responsibility
for the tax increase.

Gratis Will be wary about
the Greeks bearing gifts"
Give the Administration
A Chance
1t would certainly be a
blunder for the Democrats
to. enter into an agreement
with the Administration
party on taxation before
the submission of the Adj
ministration's program to
meet the Administration S
deficit. When Congress CON
venes the people who will
have to pay the piper will
expect a full debate on the
reasons for the deficit.
Why is it that an Admins
tration that was going TO
eliminate poverty" because
the previous Administration
had placed "business on the
basis of permanent pros
perity" lays a $2,00O,0 100000
deficit in the lap of a Demo-
cratic House within three
years of it's Inauguration?
To what extent is the Ad-
ministration responsible for
this deficitY
What Administration poll
cies or failures to act have
contributed to this condi-
tion9
It would be ungracious,
too, for the Democrats to
deprive the Administration
of the opportunity to show
what it can do, or has to
offer, for the solution of our
domestic problems. From
the hour Congress adjourned
last March, the Administra-
tion has been concentrating
on an effort to relieve dis
tress in Europe.
The Secretary of State and
the Secretary of the Treasury
have been busy over there.
There has been but little
time to spare for home prob
lens; although the Ameri-
can people are as PROSTATE
as the French are prosper
GUS. With the agreements
entered into in the secret
conferences with European
statesmen the American
people are but vaguely ac-
qualnted, but there is every
reason to suspect from the
tone of the European press
and the character of the
propaganda here that a pro-
posal is in the offing to
dump the debts of IA nations
onto the shoulders Of the

The Tax Strategy of
the Administration
Bu Claude G.. BOUerS-

VXTHEN Senator Watson,
w. who is not always so
liberal, announced the other
day that the Republicans in
the Senate would accept any
reasonable tax plan the
Democrats may propose, the
strategy of his party was re-
vealed. It is usually a dan
gerous thing for any party
to increase taxes at the be-
ginning of a presidential
campaign.
That is the reason that the
A d m i n j S tr a tion and it's
spokesmen in Congress pas
sionately opposed a tax re-
vision at this juncture as
long as possible. 1t was the
hope that the fatal day Of
paying tne piper could De
postponed until after the
election.
Meanwhile the deficit in
the Treasury increased day
by day until now we face
the certainty of a $2,OOO,-
100000 deficit, and possibly
larger: That is a condition
that cannot be ignored. The
Administration is forced to
the admission that under
its business administra-
ton" and because of it's
legislation and policies it is
not paying expenses. There
is an Administration deficit
of two billions and the tax
payers now must pay the
piper.

But Juanita had never seen the marquesa read palms before.
 What a shame CeriSe DuBois isn't here" some one cried. She could find out where her crown jewels are"
 The marquesa laughed, flinging back her head. She finished with Bobby, took Fitzs hand.

 cWhat have you lost, Phyllis?' "Only my reputation" answered Phyllis. T didn't want it anyhow. " Fitz had a wild fortune. But Fitz was coming into money Aha! Fitz had a secret love affair. General hilarity while Fitz slid from the table. The marquesa glanced at Phyllis.

 Naida sat near the marquesa, smoking as usual, taking what seemed to be only drowsy inter- est in the proceedings. The mar quesa picked up Naida's hand. Nail da smiled and slipped from the table. I'm tired" she said. I'm go- ing home" She looked at Trigger.
 The party began to disintegrate. The marquesa wanted to lie down on the window seat, but they per suaded her to enter the car, where she slept soundly all the way home Kirk and Adrian carried her up the stair. Juanita got her onto the bed and undressed her.

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM ENROLS 5,2l|o)O STUDENTS
Territorial System Includes 88 Schools Employing
 270 Instructors

While detailed and complete re- ports on school enrolment for the entire Territory art not available, it is estimated that some 5,200 pu pils took up their studies last week when the 88 schools comprising the Alaska public school system opened their doors for another year. This was made public today by w. K. Keller, Commissioner of Education.
 The system is comprised of r schools located within incorporated towns or incorporated school dis tricts, 63 rural schools and eight special schools. The teacher staff for these institutions numbers 270.
 Ketchikan Over 600
 Ketchikan is the only school that so far has furnished a detailed statement of enrolment for it's opening week. The High School enrolment there was 140 and the grade school 481, totaling 621.
 The Juneau public school regis tration last week was 586 and was expected to reach the 600 mark early this week The local high school had about 160 pupils, or 20 more than Ketchikan The grade school enrolment here was smaller, due to the fact that many students under high school grades attend St. Ann's Parochial school. Open New Schools
 One new rural and two new Spe- cial schools were opened this year, Commissioner K Keller announced. The new rural school is at Port Alexander, and the special schools are both on the Alaska Railroad, at Premier and Curry. At the latter place the school is housed in the railroads hotel which furnishes it with electric lights and steam heat, the only special school to have these facilities, and the teacher gets living quarters in the hotel.
 Two other special schools had been authorized but, after they lost some pupils, the authorization was cancelled. These were at Ohpir, Fourth Division, and Tree Point, near Ketchikan.
 The Ward Cove school has been closed, and pupils from that sec- tion are being transported to Ket- chikan.
 The Latouche school has been discontinued, due to the cessation i of mining operations there by the Kennecott Copper Company. Only ! one child of school age remains in the village.
 1 Sell School Buildings Bids are being sought, Commis- sioner Keller said, for two build ings formerly used for school pur- poses-one at Chilkat near Haines, and the other at Scow Bay, in the Petersburg district. Both were discontinued several years ago. All serviceable equipment in the buildings has bee nor will be sal vaged for use at other points.

COMM!SSIONT TO STUDY PENSION
 SYSTEM NAMED
Keller Appoints Three In structors to Study
 Teachers Pensions

A commission for the study of the Alaska Teachers Pension sys- tenn has been appointed by w. K. Keller, Commissioner of Education, it was announced today. It is com posed of three members, one from the grade schools, a superintendent Of schools, and representative of the rural school section.
 Miss Marietta Shaw, Principal of the Juneau Grade School is desig- mated as Chairman. The other two members are c. H. Bowman, Sup erintendent of the Douglas Public Schools, formerly of Petersburg, and Mrs. May Wynne Lamb, teacher of the Thane school.
 System Not Stable
 The present Territorial system covering teachers pensions is said to be so weak as to be almost in effective. At present there are four on the pension rolls, and the system, at this time, can support but one more, or a total of five.
 The four teachers now receiving allotments from the Teachers Pen sion Fund are Mrs. E. B. Collins and Mrs. Anna Fairburn, Fair banks, Mrs. Alyce Anderson, Ninil- chik, and Mrs. Sam Kelsey, veteran

Valdez teacher who now resides in California.
 It is the purpose of the CommiS- sion to study the present retire ment law and recommend to this office necessary legislation to cure the present system of it's defects or, if considered advisable, for an en- t:rely new set-up that will make the pension system stable and ef- fective," Commissioner Keller said.
 Follows Dimcnd Proposal
 The proposed survey follows very closely the lines suggested in a measure introduced in the last Legislature by Senator A. J. Di- mond, Valdez, and author of the present retirement act. This meas ure was enacted by the Senate but failed of passage in the lower House.
 It authorized the survey of the local sysoem, study of similar systems in the several states and directed the Commission making the survey to report its findings and recommendations to the next Legislature. It carried an appro- priation of 1,500 to defray neces- sary clerical and other expenses.
 MT. Keller's Commission will work without remuneration. The clerical work will be taken care of by his office. Its findings and recommen- dations will be incorporated in his biennial report to the Legislature.

 T didn't say Spike" she re- marked. T said Mister Divitt, You gon' tell Mister Divitt?'
 T tell nothing" Juanita answer ed.
 The marquesa looked at her cum ningly. You're angry with me, Juanita," she said in Spanish, be cause I said that you were engaged. Yes? Don't tell them differ ently-hear? What I tell is for your good. You must trust me"
 Why did you do it?' Juanita asked.
 For your good, say Because you cannot marry, and there must be a reason.'
 Why can't I marry?' Juanita demanded.
 The marquesaS head dropped as she sat on the beds edge. Spike won't let you" she said drowsily.
 Wont let me?" Juanita repeated furiously. What is MT. Divitt to me?"
 The marquesa shook her tumbled head. She raised hand, palm out, with a hay sense that she must not be questioned. Go way" she said in English. T want sleep
 Juanita had undressed her down to a black chemise. She might have called Rhoda to undress the marquesa, except that she was ashamed. The marquesa was noth- ing to her, but she was ashamed i just as she had been when the marquesa had borrowed money from Kirk-money she had not repaid. Undressed, the marquesa had ! found the little gold cross that hung about her neck. She took Il off, held it in her open palm, and began to cry.

Again she was silent. Why had the marquesa done this?
 "Quit thinking" Kirk said his arms about her. Let it all ride. Lent's over and we're going back to New Orleans "Wednesday. Bob- bys party is "Wednesday night On Thursday we'll be married"
 She shook her head Not now
 T say quit thinking Kirk told her. What does it matter about Barcelona or anything else? I've got you in my arms, and I'd like to see anything or anybody take you away
 She said no more. Strange com fort passed to her from him-blind comfort. Almost she quit thinking, in obedience to his command.
 The storm was lessening. Sea and wind had subsided, and they saw broken clouds and a white "Adrian's moon" Kirk said They rode back. Bettina Byrnes ran out to meet them.
 Come in quick" cried Bettina. Come in and listen to the mar quesa. I never heard such a yarn in my life"
 The marquesa sat croSs-legged in the center of the long table About her head was tied Laurie's red scarf, and Emmy Jeans gold hoop earrings were in her ears. Bobby Cranshaw was enthroned beside the nnarquesa and she was reading his palm
 "Ycu fall in love yer easy" the lEarquesa was saying to Bobby Whereupon Bobby blushed and the crowd jeered. "One time you have loss an automobile. It is in 'noth- CT state New Jersey, maybe"
 "Oh, no,' mysteriously. T holc you hand, and the words come"
