The municipal bond market, after
a period of dullness, is showing def
mite signs of improvement, accord
ing to a summary recently prepare
by Engineering News-Record The
magazine cites the sales of bonds
and notes at slightly increased in
ter rates in 20 cities i'm 10 states,
during the week Of March IS, at in
terest rates of four and a. quarter
Z per cent to five per cent for the lon
ger maturities.
Selling of new municipal bonds
has been retarded because of doubt
full city credit and more especially
because of the selling of large hold
ings of earlier issues by companies
liquidating part of their invest
ments.
At the beginning of this year the
reduced demand for new city issues
gave a gloomy outlook for the finan-
cling of normal city improvements.
However, with the coming of a
slight increase in the interest rates,
averaging only a fraction of a per
cent, and a realization that the ma
jority of cities are financially sound,
{ bond buyers have demonstrated
their Willingness to invest in city
paper.
This renewed interest in city
bond issues has given added conf
dence in the success of the Omitted
Action" campaign of the American
Legion. American Federation of La
Dor and other national bodies to oh
tain re-emplOyment for 100000
wage earners.
During the last two years munich
palities have been reducing eXpendi-
lures and pay rolls in many cases
needed public improvements have
been shelved. Further reduction in
city work would greatly nullify the
work of the UNITED Action" COM
mittee. which reports the placement
of more than 100000 men in jobs
since February Is.
Those familiar with city govern
ment point out that cities must be
careful in their economy programs
because of the dangtr of neglecting
public improvements now with the
likelihood of being faced with great
expenditures in the future. Cities,
for example, have been curtailing
street repair and construction on
wide scale. This means that streets
are in service that exact eXOrbitant
maintenance costs and rapidly Will
become more hazardous
Since from rs to 30 per cent Of the
money spent for street construction
goes to labor, and since the costs of
construction are lower by at least
One-fourth than the costs of two
years ago, it is generally believed
that cities should give such work
serious consideration IN planning
their relief programs. Since the CON
struction dollar of today is worth
25 per cent more, wide latitude is
given the community that finds it
must sell its bonds at Discount or
q higher interest rate.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

FLOATING far enough from the
Il raft to escape the stable surf
created by fancy diving contest
between Tom and De VoS-and the
even more coSmic disturbances
which followed ShaughneSsey's at
tempts to initiate them-Linda
was by no means as lazy as she
looked.
She was turning over in her mind
the talk she must have with Stat
lander, now sitting a trifle anxiously
on the edge of the float as it ca
reened back and forth under the
athletic exercises of the three
younger men.
1t was hard to keep her thoughts
on the subject High tempers-quar-
relS-murder-S seemed all incredibly
far away and unimportant in this
reStful yielding to the little ripples
which gently moved the tranquil
waters of the bay
Suddenly Linda was startled by a
tremendous report and violent agi-
tation of the water. Too near to be
pleasant, a miniature geyser shot
into the air and, almost at her
elbow. two long bare legs appeared
wildly kicking.
She was under head first, righted
herself, and came up spluttering
and laughing beside the thrashing
figure of the IriShman.

time to talk to Mr.. Statlander.
He moved over courteously as she
approached and she noticed with
amusement that after one startled
glance at her dripping figure in the
TArlet jersey he modestly looked
the other way.
"You don't care much for the
water" Mr.. Statlander?"
He cleared his throat. Why, yes
as rule. I'm a little out of prac-
tice now. I don't get much time
for swimming"
But you do swim, don't you?"
Certainly. It's a matter of or

ABSURD.

Judge Wickersham has attempted to justify his failure to protest against the abolition of the old Alaska Road Commission, that built good roads in Alaska for than quarter of century and the transfer of its activities from the War Depart ment to the Interior Department by declaring that the transfer in the interest of local sefgovern ment and economy
 The absurdity of the statement is apparent when one considers that the Interior Department, just like the War Department, is Federal organization with it's headquarters in Washington and that the Army Engineer members of the Road Commission and the two extra engineers from the Army drew their pay from the Army appropriation and not from the road appropriations Even their transporta- tion expense came from Army funds.
 Furthermore, it was the Interior Department that forced the raise in freight and passenger rates over the Alaska Railroad and then actually said that the transfer of the jurisdiction over Alaska roads to the Interior Department was for the purpose of preventing the Richardson Highway from competing with the Alaska Railroad It has

Highways for Progress.
(Seldoyia Herald.)


 The estimated cost of the proposed Pacific Highway-to extend from Blaine to Fairbanks, IS put at S14000,00O. Fourteen millions sounds like lot of money, but when consider the untold mil lions spent and wasted upon the noble experl- ment" the main result being development Of more sources wherein to sink money then the road cost is trifling The vast development project that must necessarily follow the construction of the high way! Set against that the cost of building such a road becomes negligible; becomes instead an in- vestment with securities glt-edged by enthusiastic homebuilders.
 The country to be tapped by the proposed road is so vast, with potential acreage development so immense that it is figured the actual cost of con- struction applied to the areas to be affected would average less than four cents to the acre!
 Think that over when the next appropriation is sought to enforce Prohibition!
 It occurs that if the noble experiment. hopper could be turned upside down, and funds diverted to the building of Pacific Highways and the promo ton of kindred projects then something like real Nobility in statecraft would be reached

 The Pacific Fisherman in it's current issue asks, Why not tell the world that salmon is good to eat?"
 This is question long asked by The Chronicle. In this day the strongest of advertising forces are available. Unquestionably, the distribution could be broadened and stabilized through intelligent, well-drected and long sustained program
 In the Pacific Fisherman, F. R. Chambers, North Pacific representative of the U. s. Printing and Autograph Company, expresses his views on the subject. He says that there's such thing as National brand consciousness of salmon it's just salmon, that's all Some leader could 'samonize the country through the energetic promotion of his brand perhaps sectionaly at first, then nationally to his own profit and the benefit of the in- dustry.'
 He comments, too, that the creation of new uses for canned salmon would tend to broaden the market And, we might add, new ways of packing The experiment of the Beegle Packing Company of Ketchikan this year in skinnng sal mon is move in the right direction. Judging from early reports, despite bad business generally the trade is receiving the new product favoraby.
 Follow these mprovements-whatever they may be-with intensified and sustained advertising, and the Alaskan industry will be more and more valuable

A GREAT DAY FOR GOOD
 GOVERNMENT.

What glorious finish for that New York state Democratic Convention! What could be finer rom Democratic standpoint than Al smith ana HoV' Roosevelt standing shoulder to shoulder ana Whp ping the Tammany cohorts! New Yorks two great Governors proved to be masters Of situation Wheh great mastershp was needed They 1orceo the nomination of a who will make the tnlro great Governor in a But better than all, Ill d National sense, was the peace that made be- tween Gov Roosevelt and Al Smith. When these long standing friends and co-workers buried the batchet and once more became team in the fight for good government through the Democratic Party their country and their party, in its best sense were the principal victors
 Gov Lehman will probably be elected and he will make worthy successor of Gov. Smith and Gov Roosevelt The fact that he has been the cause of peace between the former Governors and harmony in the Democratic Party of New York will aid immensely in the election. The result or this convention makes New York State almost cer- tain for the Roosevelt column in the National cleo tion, and removes any doubt that may have been entertained regarding the final outcome or the Presidential contest.
 Just one thing now is needed to make perfect political situation in the Empire State. That would be the nomination of Al Smith for Mayor of New York City What a victory that would be for good government New York newspapers, Democratic and Republican have declared time after time that the most needed thing in New York is Al Smith for Mayor for two terms
 Not only would the nomination of Al Smith for Mayor of New York City be wonderful thing for the metropolis, but it would be a godsend to the country. AS Mayor of the greatest American City, Al Smith would point the way for successful mun- cipal government in this country. It has been conceded for many years that the most difficult problem in the United States awaiting solution is that of municipal government. AS Mayor of New York Al Smith would set an example that would help immensely to solve that problem

Mark Twain Could Actually Laugh.
(New York Times.)


 literary season still young has already pro duced first-class sensation in the form of a book which sets out to prove that Mark Twain was humorst Only three years ago the author, MT Bernard De Voto, embarking on such an enterprise, would have been taking his life in his hands Among the literary dogmas that basic from the Armis- tce to the Crash the one about Mark Twain, who was born to be a great satirist but who was repressed and frustrated by his early frontier en- vironment and by his Puritan wife into becoming a buffoon
 Mark Twain, according to the repression theory cut up capers because he not allowed to pour out the hate and indignation within him. It must be a dozen years since the critics have hao it in for the prim Elmra girl whom Mark Twaln married in 1871, and who proceeded to represS ana frustrate Mark effectively that in the next fifteen years he could do nothing better than write rom Sawyer, Life the Mississippi and "Huckleberry Finn"
 Since the Crash, however the literary dogmas particularly in biography, have been changing. It | is now becoming fairly safe to assert that Mark Twain had a natural gift for laughter, that George Washington loved his country and that Napoleon was man of parts.
