Law Is Drastic

It illustrates forcibly the drastic
character Of the law which was
quietly slipped over on Congress
in 1928, a few sessions ago. The
ostensible purpose was to safe
guard the education and protect
the morals of juvenile entertainers
by barring them from the Wash
ington stage. No exceptions are
made. Thus we have the situa-
ton where one of the worlds
greatest artiSts-whose educational
knowledge is supplied by a corps
of teachers and who speaks five
languages-is denied the right to
appear in concert here. And there
rs no appeal.
1t is such a condition which
Senator Capper, chairman of the
Senate District Committee seeks
to amend in his bill to permit
the professional appearance of
minors under proper District regu-
lation. Jurisdiction in the matter
of determining what is proper is
vested with the Board of Educa-
tiOn.

Hogan AS Advocate

Frank j. Hogan, president Of
the Bar Association of the District
of Columbia, in a letter to S. \E
Cochran, one Of the advocates OF
the Capper measure, says:
81 am heartily in favor of
Senator Capper's bill and will
cheerfuIly lend such encourage
ment to its sponsors as 1 am
able to.
"YOur reference to the fact
that our own Helen Hayes
would have been prohibited by
law from securing the prelimi-
nary theatrical training SO eS-
Sential to her success had the
law which you are now seeking
to amend then been in effect,
cOnvinces me of the absolute
necessity for the change.
II wish you success in your
worthy endeavOr, and / am sure
if the people generally were
familiar with the issue they
would make their desires known
to the members of Congress
and the present law would be
promptly changed"
This support Of public-Spirited
citizens who can be depended upon
to advocate nothing which would
be injurious to the welfare Of
children, coupled with the edi-
torial support of four Washington
newspapers, represents formid'
able backing for Senator Capper's
bill. The present restriction, il
logical and unjust, is not only an
to the theaterS but con.
stitutes a financial burden on
children who make their livelihood
by stage work.

Afraid of Parrot

Afraid Of Parrot
Well, why should there be
any difference in his case?
Joel pulled the blanket around
his chin and moved closer to
the wall. He was a criminal
nova murderer. Less than
an hour ago, not five blocks
away, he had killed a man.
Through the mass of brick
and mortar and flesh and
blood, Joeps mind could see the
body of Linsky as he had left
it Huddled in a corner with
one hand outstretched and
those cold eyes staring classify
into nowhere. The green bird
completed the picture. That
parrot that was chained to its
perch in the corner and looked
on without making a sound.
Strange that the parrot should
have remained completely quiet.
It was most unusual. He well
remembered how Linsky had
praised the bird.
That's the smartest parrot
in the world" were Linsky's
very words. "It remembers
everything it hears. Amazing,
really" Sometimes it will re-
peat a sentence an hour after
hearing it. And sometimes it
will not pop out for a month"
Words Remembered
Joel tossed again. Why had
that bird been so confoundedly
quiet while Linsky was being
strangled? If it had only been
chattering, perhaps there would
be nothing now about which to
worry. But the facts had to
be considered. In the morning,
the body would be found. De-
tectiveS would swarm all over
the place. How did he know
what the bird would say?
He recalled. the first time
words that Linsky had said
when he had strolled into the
formers room with murder in
his heart. The man had been
bitterly sarcastic, as usual.
"Well, well, WE'LL" he had
sneered, "if it isn't my old
friend, Joel Hartman. And
how is my dear pal. Mr.. Joel
Hartman, this EVENING""
Suppose the bird screeched
out those damning WORDS in the
morning? # that happened, he
knew the result. Within an
hour he would be under arrest.
He recalled the first time
he had visited Linsky'S room in
that dilapidated house on East
Eighth Street. AS he sat sip
ping tea with Linsky and Mar
Gus, that parrot kept talking.
The birds vocal power was
amazing-and annoying.
Arrogance Annoys
Before he left, LinSky and
he had a few words. The
mans arrogance had annoyed
him terribly. When he stepped
into the street he felt as
though he were getting away
from something unclean. He
hated Linsky and abhorred his
parrot. ...
Five months ago, he had
run across Linsky again. It
was at a party given by Mar

been introduced TO LlnSKy-
and there Joels romance was
ended. He loved Gertrude very
dearly. But a smile from Lin
sky seemed to hypnotic her.
From that day on she had
avoided Joel completely.
Then-early that evennig-aS
he was leaving that little res
taurant on Second Avenue, he
met Gertrude again. She was
worn and Sickly and hollow
eyed. Joel's heart sank.
Gertrude" he had asked,
what is the matter with you?
What has happened?"
The girl did not answer. Joel
stepped closer to her.
Greeted by Sarcasm
Il still love you dearly" he
murmured simply. II don't
care about the past. If you
still care a little, we will be
married in the morning"
Gertrude's reply had sent a
chill through his body.
Thank you, JOEL" she had
murmured. You are sweet
and good. Thank you. But
it is too late now. Too late"
Joel's fists clenched tightly.
"LinSky?" he had asked.
Without word, the girl had
turned and fled. ...
Joel had gone right to Lin
Sky's home. He had waited
two hours for the Russian to
arrive. After that opening
greeting of sarcasm from Lin
sky, there had been little
said. Joel had commanded
Linsky to marry Gertrude.
The other man had laughed
at him. Joel's fingers closed
around the Russians long, lean
throat. He had pressed and
pressed. He had murdered
Linsky. AS simple as all that.
Joel was certain that, aside
from the parrot, no other liv-
ing thing had seen him either
come or go. But the parrot
was enough. The screech of
the bird kept pounding in his
ears. ......o, .,
Fear Tornents Him
well, well, well, if it isn't
my old friend, Joel Hartman.
And how is my old pal, Mr..
Joel Hartman, this EVENING""
Surely the bird would repeat
those words. Joel stepped from
his bed and downed a glass of
rye. No effect. Louder and
louder grew the screech of the
green bird.
my friend, Joel Hartman. >.
My dear pal, Mr.. Joel Hart
man. Well, well, well, Mr..
Joel Hartman"
He stuffed his ears with cot
ton and closed the quilt about
his head. Still no use. Re
lentlessly- like a chant of
death-it went on.
With a sudden cry, Joel
reached for his clothes. Ten
minutes later he was on his
way to Linsky's room for the
second time that night. He
had to kill that bird. =.
Confesses Deed
Over at headquarters, they
were discussing the case.
Funniest thing ever heard
about" said one detective. "He
must have thought that the
body hadn't been discovered
yet because he walks in just as
nice as you please. He didn't
know, of course, that this Ger
trude dame. who Linsky musta
been kcepin'. had found the
body and notified headquarters.
We'll, Delaney and me are
just lookin' around when in
walks this Hartman guy. We
grab him pronto and it don't
take us long to get a complete
confession. But here's the
kick. What do you think he
come back for?"
"What?" asked the other
man.
The first detective laughed
loudly.
"He came back to kill a par
rot that he thought might tip
us off. Imagine that-a par
rot! What he didn't know was
that the bird had died three
months ago, and that LinSky
had had it Stuffed!".

 On departing from Juneau, the Karlsruhe will go to Sitka for a sew days vi9it, and then proceed to Seattle, where she is due June | Il.
 S9,640 Nautcial Miles
 The vessels sojourn in this port is one of her scheduled stops on a training cruise Of 39,640 nautical miles Her base is at Kiel on the Baltic Sea. On her long voyage she has touched Spain, the Can ary Islands, Bermuda, Havana Mexico, Panama and Honolulu, before coming to Alaska.
 The Karlsruhe began her present training cruise last November. Be- fore she reaches home again, she will have been in foreign waters more than year.
 Personnel of Ship Aboard the cruiser are sixty cadets, most of whom are between Is and 19 years old, thirty officers of the line, six engineers, two physicians, two paymasters, one chaplain and large number of non commissioned officers, besides the crew of enlisted men.
 The last similar training visit of a German cruiser to Juneau was in 1927 when the Emden was here.
 The training cruises are made annually by a vessel of the Ger man Navy for the purpose of in- dnstructing cadets and crew in prac- tical seamanship, military science and navigation.
 Third Built Since War
 The Karlsruhe is the third ship
 
 built by the German Navy since the World War. She was con- structed in 1925. She is of 5000 tons burden. She is 620 feet long and carries nine 15-centimeter guns, four 8-inch centimeter guns, and twelve 5o-centimeter guns.
 She is the third craft of the name in the annals of the German Navy. The first Karlsruhe was in foreign waters at the beginning of l the World War. She was pursued by seven Allied warships and on November 4, 1914, was blown up by an explosion in one of her own torpedo tubes. The second Karls- ruhe participated in battles in the Baltic and North Seas in the World War and after the armistice was sclittled at Scarpa Flow, England.

No More Piles
You Can End Your Awful Misery Quick Without Cutting or Salves

Thousands of Pile sufferers do not know that the cause of Piles is internal-bad circulation of blood in the lower bowel.
 That is the scientific truth about Piles = the real reason why salves and suppositories do not give perm anent relief, why cutting does not remove the cause.
 Your itching, bleeding or pro- truding Piles will only go when you actually remove the cause and not one minute before. Ex- ternal treatments can't do this an internal medicine should be used. HEM-ROID, the prescription of Dr. J. s. Leonhardt, sold by good druggists everywhere, succeeds be- cause it stimulates the circulation, drives out congested blood, heals and restores the almost dead parts.
 pr. Leonhardt's HEM-ROID has an almost unbelievable record of success right in this city. So why waste time on external remedies for worry about an operation when Juneau Drug Co. invites every Pile sufferer to try HEM-ROID with guarantee of money-back if it does not end their Piles, no matter how stubborn the case?, adv.
