A CHANGE TO BOOST LOCAL RELIEF

The lateness of the of pink salmon in South east Alaska which has resulted in greatly mnimlzeo packs of that variety of fish, has had an equally serious effect upon Alaska fishermen and cannery workers. The former have been unable to make any catches and largely have had their labor wasted The latter all of whom are piece workers have not earned anything like the usually paid them during normal Consequently, both will suffer during the coming winter.
 Reports to the Bureau of Fisheries indicate that very large run of pinks is entering the inside waters through Cross Sound and Icy Strait If his in through other channels But they coming the northern section where the fishing short ly to end
 Commissioner OMalley, who has expressed his concern the plight of Alaskans connected with the industry due to the current market conditions has a chance to extend relief to these people who are directly affected by the laeness of the run If conditions justify it-that is, if the volume of the run is large enough to permit the limited number of canneries operating to get capacity packs and provide an adequate escapement to the spawning beds-an extension of the might well be made for a few days in each of the several districts in order to aid the workers and fishermen Such policy could hardly disturb the already de- pressed market. Even though every cannery operat- ing packed it's maximum capacity, the total would be much less than normal pack Some of the canners might not endorse the extensions, but in view of the serious condition which confronts local people connected with the industry that fact ought not to be factor in the Commissioners fina decision.

ornamentals is spreading rapidly in Florida Arizona and Southern California.
 The hybrid rubber vine showed a rubber content between and per cent in monthly periods of analysis, reaching nearly per cent in some cases The vines of the parent species seldom yield than per cent
 Because the seed of the hybrid does not run true and produces the same type of plant as the hybrid itself the rubber workers propagate new plants by cuttings. The vine is a perennial and once planted, regular production of rubber might be practicable. Propagation methods are being stud died to increase the supply of hybrid material but none is available for distribution at present.
 The department is also experimenting with desert plants which grow in Southern Arizona and Cali fornia and which show prospects for rubber produc ton. The most promising is a native milkweed that could be grown in large quantities in the desert districts in the event that domestic produc tion of rubber became necessary

the little he chose she should know-tne rest remained an un- opened book to read, because 1t was denied to her. She had been more frank with him tonight than ever before, and yet it had in no way brought them nearer togeth- CT, and she found herself half regretted her impulsiveness as she walked beside him back to the ballroom.
 What did he really think of her? What did all men really think of women who allowed them to give them extravagant presents? She looked up to him impatiently. His face betrayed nothing neither love, nor disapproval, nor jealousy perhaps it was because he was so much elder than she that he had learned to control his feelings so perfectly. If Flora knew of their friendship she never alluded to it, and yet, surely she must sometimes wonder, knowing that the ungaaerous allowance she gave Sondra would not purchase fur coats or hundred dollar frockS. Life was such an insincere thing with wni3n people seemed to have entered into a great conspiracy of pretenSe.
 They r.etended to like one an- other when they did not, they pretende1 to believe in one anOth- CT when tkey devoutly distrusted they pretended to be happy and gay when all the time they were profoundly miserable.
 And I am the same? Sondra told herself. So why should judge the others?"

Action in December.
(New York World -Telegram.)


 Since Congress has folded its tents and departed after few futile gestures the people of the coun- try must wait until next December to see the na- tion back on the long road of Prohibition reform. In the meantime:
 The taxpayers, now grooming under weight oi taxes, must continue paying out for Prohibition enforcement some $50,500000 annually and receiv- ing back in fines only s4o00O00. The net cost of Prohibition since 1920 is estimated at s3l0 O0O O0O They will be losing in possible revenues from liquor taxes at least $lO0O0OOOOO a year. The estl- mated loss since 1920 is $11 00OOOOOO0.
 The new rackeeering underworld created by Prohibition will continue to enrich itself terrorze society corrupt the police and courts defy decency and demoralize the enforcement of useful laws
 And, worst of all the attention of America will be diverted from grave economic problems and cleo tions decided upon an issue that belonged in politics
 December is long enough to wait. Let the voters speak so plainly this fall that the present Con- gress which comes back in December for a four months session, will not dare delay action

 People talked so much about | free will, and it was such neg ligible quantity when one was fac- led with the great things of life-7 like straw tossed whichever way the wind of circumstances chose to carry it. And yet, wasn't it by her own free will that she had taken this step to remove Merri- man from her life?-Sondra looked into her heart and denied that it was-surely she had been forced by the insecurity of her position.
 She thought suddenly of her
 sisters ca1elessly spoken words that evening.
 "Its such a pity John Ander- son can't get rid of Evelyn-he'd make such a splendid husband for you and her own reply:
 T don't want him for a hus- band, thank you"
 That was not the truth, either 1-she never seemed to be free to speak the truth. If Anderson had been a single man she would have married him, always supposing he had asked her.
 She locked up at him again crit ically. How amused people would be if they could really understand the relationship between them. If she could tell the world-"Yes, he

 There is something troubling you Sondra," he said.
 To her annoyance ready tears sprang into her eyes even while she shook her head.

 She broke in swiftly.
 John, why do you? I mean, why should you be so kind to me? I have no earthly claim on you and yet"
 Anderson smiled
 ''Mayn't I spend my money how, and on whom I please?"
 "Of course, but I never seem to deserve it, or to give you any thing in return"
 He was silent for a moment, looking away from her with grave eyes.

NEW BROMLEY PRATT EXPERTS
STORE MODERN AID BUILDING

F. M. Pratt Company, Incor-
porated, of 934 K st. N. W., prop
erty improvement specialists and
property management experts,
have recently completed extensive
improvements to an apartment at
1860 California st. N. w., that
has practically doubled the in
come-producing capacity of the
building.
The apartment at that address
was formerly an old-fashioned six
suite building, consisting of large
rooms and wasted space that was
not in accordance with present
day efficiency apartments.
The Pratt Company under the
supervision of F.. M. Pratt, head
of the concern, drew plans and
specifications and then converted
the building into a more modern
type of structure, improving the
living qualities of the apartments
and by utilizing waste space has
remodeled the building into a IT.
suite apartment building.
It was pointed out that the cost
of remodeling the building will
come back to the owner in COM
paratively short time due to the
increased rentals derived.
Pratt said:
There are many apartments.
homes and business properties
here that should undergo the
same change. We can show a
landlord where the amount Of
money involved in the improve.
ment will soon repay itself in
increased valuation and more
revenue"
The Pratt organization empty
their own crew of carpenters,
plumbers, bricklayerS and me-
chanics to do this type of work.

CLASH
FELLSDRUNK

An argument over politics to-
day sent Edgar Newton Utter
back, 46, of Brunswick, Md, to
Gallinger Hospital where he was
treated for head cuts and charged
by police with being drunk.
Utterback approached Art ! e
Mercer, 81, colored. who was
shoveling coal in the rear of a
laundry in the 1900 block of H
St. N. E., and asked:
"Say, you, are you a Demo
crat or a Republican,"
Artie stopped his work for a
minute and replied:
II aip't neither one"
Without another word, Utter
back swung his foot high from
the ground and kicked Artie in
the jaw. He then fled to a
nearby shed and hid.
Artie finally found his aSsail-
ant and then he, without cere-
mony, knocked Utterback to the
ground and walked away.
Police removed Utterback to
Casualty Hospital and later took
him to Gallinger.
Artie was absolved Of any
blame by police.
