Small Business Encouraged
By Statement From Dawes

happening in this line was the ability
of America to Withstand the French
gold Withdrawals without damage to
the dollar. Scattered here and there,
however in recent weeks have been a
large number of minor developments
in the way of orders and trade pick
ups in various lines that, together are
not without significance as straws."

Decentralization is the keynote of
Government reform" thinks the Harris
burg Telegraph, with the conclusion
that it may be also a powerful factor in
the return of prosperity and the cure
Of unemployment" That paper says Of
the Dawes idea, Trade rivalries and
a better understanding of merchandis-
ing opportunities brought back the small
shop until today these are more nu-
merous than ever. That this is going
on in industry today is the opinion of
no less an authority than Horace P.
Liversidge, vice president of the Phila-
delphia Electric Co., recently expressed
in public address. The small manu-
facturer. he says, has entered into ac-
tive and successful competition with
the big fellow. This competition he
said, has come about historically
through the development of adequate
transportation facilities, through the
long-diStance transmission of economical
power, the widespread use of such cul-
tural agencies as newspapers, maga-
zines and the radio, through the gen.
eral forward movement of our times"
THE general looks forward to a nor
NAL future, but it will not be such a
normal as marked the boom periods, Z"
suggests the Rock Island Argus. while
the Pasadena Star-News holds that the
time is ripe for a better psychology
among the people" and that "pessi-
mism has about run its course" The
Spokane Spokesman Review predicts "a
long period Of sane and substantial
prosperity"

Stimulating Ocean Travel,

From the st. Louis Post t-Dispateh.
Reduced incomes and the consequent
reduced budget appropriations for fam
lily vacations, to which we called at
tention recently, have wrought inter-
esting and significant changes in ocean-
travel. The de luxe passenger travel
IN which the bull market boomers in
dulged themselves during their Summer
rest periods went out with the crash,
and in its place is cheap travel made
possible by shorter trips and lowered
costs all around.
The steamship lines, like our own
railroads, are finding that the way to
stimulate travel is to offer cheap rates.
Business Week sums up the decrease
In costs by saying that cruise and tour
rates, which not long ago amounted to
$40 day, now stand as low as ST.
With college students in great numbers
serving to dignity third-class travel,
that mode of steamship life has come
into widespread popularity. Since il
has become the thing to do, many perA
sons who once took better accommoda-
tions eagerly take advantage Of the
cheaper class. That the reduced fares
are attracting more people to the gang
planks was evidenced recently, when
five ships sailed for Europe in one day
with about 1000 tourists, the heaviest
passenger lists in a day since 1929.
The week end cruise, a three or four
day affair, designed to keep ships run
ming in the absence of transoceanic
travel, has given way TO the six-day
cruise, which is proving more popular
as the vacation season gets into full
swing. Mere attention is being paid to
points within easy reach of New York
Nova Scotia. the Saguenay River. the
Labrador coast. Bermuda and the West
Indies, and numerous cruises are planned
TO take first-class steamers to their
ports.
Perhaps the most significant s~c
about ocean travel now is the i
trek to Soviet Russia. Last year. 9,Cs I,
Americans visited Moscow, and alreeC.
bookings to Russia. have trebled the
1881 figure. 1t is evident that many
Americans are going TO Russia to see
fcw themselves.

JOHN }. v|CkORY DIED SUNDAY IN FIRE WHICH
 DESTROYED HIS HOME

Fire of unknown origin Sunday morning at about 5:20 o'clock, snuffed out the life of John D. Vickory while in his sleep and then tragically cremated the body as It destroyed the oldtimer's home.
 MT. Vickory, a miner, who came to Hope, Alaska, in 1896, was born in Penobscot County, Maine, on April 8, 1849, and on his next birth date would have been 83 years of age. He came to Seward in 1905 and has been a continuous resident of this city since that date He was a member of the local Igloo ot the Pioneers of Alaska and 1t IS under their auspices that the re- mains will be buried.
 The fire from the deceased old timers home lighted up the sur rounding area almost as bright as daylight and could be seen from one end of the town to the other An incoming boat out at Gaines head reported that the fire was even visible at that distance. When the fire was discovered, it had 9 good start and an alarm was imme- diately sent in. The Fire Depart ment arrived on the scene lmme diately and in very short while had the fire under control. When the home, which at one time was a blazing inferno, was entered, the body, charred beyond recognition was lying near the buildings en. trance.
 The unusually strong wind which prevailed earlier in the evening had given away to decided calm and it was probably this quiet Wea- ther that saved the many adjacent homes and an apartment house from catching fire.
 Two of the o1dtiiner'S pets, two cats, periShed as their master die and their charred remains attest ed to the fury of the blaze.
