George and Henry Messer- schmidt the only members of the old Council who candidates for reelection, triumphant, receiving 1O3 and 186 majorities respectively. The result was an emphatic endorsement of the present Administration
 The new municipal government next year will have but one new in it's personnel-Ralph H.

 M L Merritt was reelected to the School Board without opposition which will continue the present school Administration in office.

 Josie's confidence interested Kit ty.
 Josie did not care that Kitty gave no condolences in return Probably Josie considered she had none to give.
 Her friendliness had given Kit ty more confidence in her work. Quite consciously she had copied Josie's competent sales manner.
 But today she had a zest thas was not borrowed from Josie. It was a busy day Blouses? She had patience for the most exact ing shopper.
 A jersey dress copied from an imported model was the joke of the department, to everyone but Miss Lee, the buyer. It had hung in the case since spring.
 "No-I oon't want suit.-I want a dress of some kind, some thing that's a little different" a customer said to Kitty this morn ing. And Kitty took the jersey dress out of the case. Its a Patton copy,n she said, as she had said before, but there was a differ ence in her voice this morning and in the way she smiled over the garment as she held it out. Don't you want to try it on?"
 And ten minutes later the dress went to the bundle counter, sold.
 A little later Miss Lee ap- preached Kitty in her brisk man ner, commended her for her sale. What time do you go out to lunch, Miss Brandon? Twelve? Change, with one of the girls and come out with me at one. I've an appointment at the Hoffman at two-thirty and we'll eat there
 At Strattons Kitty knew Miss Lee as an efficient manager, with little manner that made the girls in the department little afraid of her But as they sat down at small table in the Hoffman dining room she seemed to soften, grow younger, more ami mated, as if she threw off a veil she kept for business just as she slipped on her smart frock coat and let the waiter fold it over the chair back.

The Tax on Beer
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 From the standpoint of balancing the budget with least disturbances to business the proposed legazation of light beer and it's taxation have columns yesterday From wholly different stand point, that of combating organized crime, such a step is likewise desirable
 Lawlessness and crime have in the last few years especially become business, gigantic rack et Murder and robbery and Kidnapping are not the objects of that racket, but an incident in its efficient administration. The real purpose of the racket is to make money just like any legitimate business And the foundation of that money-mak- ing process is in selling things men and women want but which are prohibited to honest dealers.
 Thus alcoholic liquors, gambling and prosti- tuition the foundation stones of the organized crime rings which form the invisible government of all to many American cities. We learned from the exposure of the Capone and other gangs in Chi eago that these invisible governments are operated lon a dollars and cents basis, trading in goods barred by law but desired by most men a
 We learned also from that investigation that the sale of beer is the major of for racketeering gangs Other things enter the picture but without the vast public thirst for beer the power in politics and business correspondngly small
 Restoration of light beer and tax upon it would at once take most of the profit out of law violation and that profit into the channels of honest business and government. At time when the public treasury and business both need support and cannot stand the drain of wealth into channels of crime, this measure ought to be genuine sistanee to economic recovery.

An Improving Service
(Anchorage Times


 Workers in the service of the Alaska division of the office of Indian affairs apparently are be- coming more satisfied with the conditions under which they labor, with the result that the annual turnover of personnel which in former years, has been very great has decreased very materially, the latest service bulletin Of the bureau showing that virtually resignations are being received, This is encouraging. It means that the work of the bureau will proceed more smoothly and satsfactor- fly than is possible with workers going into the field every year.
 But the bureau is not stopping at the reten- ton of teachers and other workers who desire to continue in the service. It is insisting that its personnel be thoroughly equipped to meet the re- quirements of Alaska conditions and to that end is urging workers to raise the standard of their educational qualifications by correspondence or through residence at college in order that it will not be necessary to make apologies for the educa- tional limitations of those few appontees who do not up to requirements It is pointed out in the bulletin that almost one thousand ap- pcations for positions in the service have been received since last July but it is the policy to make as few changes in personnel as possible believing that minimum turnover means maximum results
