Back for Battle.
(New York World-Telegram.) )

(NeW YOrK WOrld-Ielegram)
 It will be quite futile for any candidate
 in the hope of consolidating any element
 of the population to attempt to subordinate
 the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment to
 the solution of the economic problems which
 press upon all. The two inextrcably
 intertwined.
 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler returns from Europe with the above characteristic clear insistence upon the most genuine rrepressble issue that has stirred the people of the United States in this generation. Dr. Butler at and vigorously takes up the great fight he carried to the Republican Convention at Chicago and stuck to until he sailed
 The "merriment and sarcasm" he heard in Eng land regarding the Republican Prohibition plank he will find increasingly duplicated in this country. President Hoover and the Republican strategsts can show scant profit from the Chicago straddle. Nor will they have easy job from now till November convincing voters that straddle is really stride. When Dr. Butler says repeal is an essential step toward the revival of prosperity in the United States he also says why:
 Should not more than fifteen States
 adopt an effective system of State liquor control such prevails in the Province of
 Quebec in Sweden. and should a rate of
 taxation be established not greater than that
 which now prevails in Great Britain, the
 lowest estimate is that $1 500000,0O0 would be
 available for the public treasury.
 That's brass tacks meaning dollars. It spells lreduced deficits, tax relief speeding up of big group of interrelaed ndutsress It may easily prove the impetus that will start us toward recovery. On international finance war debts and tariffs la considerable part of the American people still need educating But Prohibition the country is already well educated-by eleven years of bitter costly experience.
 We are ready for repeal It is the indicated first step the natural home action by which this natior can move while it considers the larger international programs of prosperity building. We should be blind to our own interests to hesitate and tumble longer with wel-defined issue ripe for settle ment.
 This is case" Dr. Butler points out, "in which the moral issue and the economic issue two sides of one and the same shield"
 Exactly That makes it the more dangerous fo, parties or candidates to try old juggling tricks The day will come, we think, when President Hoov- | CT will wish he'd listened little to Dr

q. 0. P. CONVENTION A FUTILE
 AFFAIR.

The complete futility of the Republican Na- tional Convention exposed by President Hoover speech of acceptance After forcing a wet Natoha' Convention to adopt a half-dry, half-wet platform he has abandoned the position of the party plat form on Prohibition and declared for State rights He says each State should handle the problem within it's borders it wishes
 It is evident that the plain and unequivical Democratic plank not only carried the country away from Prohibition but it swept the former ory NIT Hoover off his feet. At least the acclaim witn which it was received made it evident to him thai it would be necessary for him to switch in order to make any sort of showing in the National election and his great appetite for votes did the rest He abandoned his partys position on the question: position that was dictated by the Administration and plainly bid for wet votes-votes that he has been known to spurn in the days when he thought the country dry.
 It is not now apparent since the speech why the Republican Convention adopted platform at all.

ADVICE TO THE DRYS.

Dry leaders are urging the supporters Of Pro- hibton to concentrate on candidates for Congress to the exclusion of party considerations and ignore all others issues except Prohibition. To, Democrats and Republicans alike they say: Vote for candi- dates for Congress who believe in the Prohibition amendment and who will sustain it in all needed legislation"
 In other words these men who seek to dom- mate the nations temperance policies would require but single qualification from candidate for Senator or Representative he vote dry Per sonally he may be wet as the ocean but as long as he will vote for any measure demanded by the Prohibition fanatics vote for him. To follow that advice would be to make out of Congress rubber stamp and put the country wholly in the hands of absolutely incapable by temperament experience and tradition to conduct the peoples legislative business
 The Prohibition problem, deeply rooted as it is is not as vital as economic issues that must be solved satisfactorily before the country can make any lasting progress toward recovery and stabiliza- ton Dry strategists cannot be unaware of that fact Yet they would turn thumbs down on able men opposed to continuance of the present Prohibition farce to raise to power in their stead incompetent who can be depended on to vote against repeal o resubmission of the question to popular vote, o any other bill demanded by the Dry czars

SYNOPSIS: Sondra Kent has been sure that she could depend upon John Anderson's friendship and is startled when Anderson's friend Cas- sidy tells her that John is getting back from Europe, since he has not cabled her as he usually does. She has been wondering whether John sus- poets anything about her sec ret marriage to Mark Merri- man. She never intended to marry Mark unless he made a large amount of money, and in fact she is herself respOnsi- ble for his absence since she asked John to give him a po- siti0n in the Congo. Just be- fore Mark sailed, she realized how she would miss him, and agreed suddenly to marry him. only to realize now that she does not love him as she thought. She lives with her sister Flora, who has married fer money as her father ad- vised her to do herself. Son. dra thus is dependent upon the money of her brother-in- law, Ben.

Kind of Men Needed.
Seward Gateway.)

The advent of H. s. Graves, Peter Brevk and Lars Hylen, who have initiated steps for launching big developments at Goodnews Bay which promises to take it's place among the platinum producing regions of the world, marks a forward step in the march of progress setting in for Alaska. Despite it's distance from Seward and many lsettled points, whatever happens at Goodnews Bay lis bound reflect itself in the influence it will have upon the Territory a whole, and attraction lof attention to the fact that this great storehouse lof precious metals is the best bet the American continent.
 Like little trickle down a mountain, the min ing era of Alaska is gaining volume and momentum until the future promises flood of pros- Ipectors and capital with which to develop their finds
 The presence of Messrs. Graves and associates is the second step in bringing Goodnews Bay to the front Thus Alaska needs many men of this kind who are possessed of vision and courage and the experience to wrest success from anything of merit Such do not act upon the suggestion oi others. They consider problem from its various angles arrive at decision and map their course accordingly. It is such men who lift country from its primitive thradom and elevate it to higher commercial, industrial and social plane They come as tonic to stimulate activities anC by their energies create contagion which emboldens others to act.
 Thus we welcome this expression of faith anc
 confidence in the lode and placer possibilities o
 the Territory and wish the owners of the bis
 platinum deposit every success

CHAPTER IS. A SERIOUS ROW"

Cass stared at her. Didn't you know John was getting in today?" he asked blankly.
 She shook her head. No" then she laughed. Why should l know? Anyway. =. I can't go to meet him. I've got an en- gagement."
 It was not the truth, but not for anything in the world would she have allowed him to know it.
 John, on his way home-almost home-and she knew nothing at all about it.
 There seemed to be a queer lit tie space in her mind, and as she stood. starring at Cass's be- wildered face, into that space crept g. picture of a gfrl's face pretty face with saucy pro- viking smile-Nathalie Symons. Cass was fumbling with his watch.
 Well. Better be off then he mumbled. Don't want to miss him.. He looked around the room as if for inspiration. Give him your love, I suppose" he queriet vaguely.
 "Oa, yes, give him my love, of course" said Sondra lightly.
 She went down to the door with him and waved him goodbye, but her stebs dragged as she mounted the stsirs again, and there was a heavy feeling in her heart.
 John was home, and he had not let her know.
 AS rule, if he had been ir Europe, he cabled her when he sailed.
 Well, it was no concern of hers but she would take very good care to be out not only tonight, but all day tomorrow, and unable to see him if he called or rang up.
 She went to her own room ane shut her door.
 There was a photograph of Johr Anderson on the mantlepiece, ant she went across to 1t and looked at it with curious eyes.
 He had gone away three day! after Mark sailed.
 Mark had not forgotten her sht knew, Mark would never forge her, but John

 Still, it was strange he had no told her that he was coming ol home.
 Sondra was going to bed tha . night when Flora came knockin , at her door.
 Gan come in?" "Oh, yes" Sondra said wear l fly.
 : She was feeling bored and dis spirited; she had spent the even
 ing with some dull people in or 5 der to be out of the house if Joh 3 Anderson called. and after all sh l, need not have troubled for h ? had neither called nor rung up. .

 Sondra stared at her sister. She had never believed Flora capable of so much feeling. For some time she had guessed that Flora and Jocelyn Farr liked one another, but then as Flora had just said Jocelyn had puritanical ideas. Yes, he was like Mark-Mark who had insisted that they get married

 Sondra did not answer but her heart began to beat in @ quick, frightened way.

The design of the Missouri river

The design of the Missouri river
bridge near Elbowoods, on which con-
struction work is now commencing
involves two comparatively new feat
lures: continuous truss spans and the
use of silicon steel for the heavier
parts. This bridge is the fiTst to be
constructed in the northwest in
which both these features are used
according to Chief Highway COM
missioner A. D. McKinnon.
The continuous truss spans as
compared with the usual or simple
truss spans are shown on the accom-
panying sketches. In the latter type
each span is complete in itself, in
dependent of, and unaffected by the
adjacent spans. In the former type,
the spans are not separated at the
piers but are rigidly connected to
each other over the piers so that each
span acts somewhat as a lever, with
the pier as a fulcrum, helping to
support the adjacent span or spans.
1t is this help that the spans give to
each other that gives continuous
spans their advantage over simple
spans.
To illustrate this in a simple man.
ner, lay thin board across three or
four blocks about equally spaced and
hold the ends down. Along side of
this lay another piece of the same
board but just long enough to reach
between two of the blocks. Place a
weight, heavy enough to bend the
board slightly. half way between
the two blocks under the short
board and place an equal weight
halfway between the same two
blocks under the long board.
Note the difference in the sagging of
the two boards. Under the load the
long board will sag much less than
the short one but the long board will
tend to lift up on the other side of
the blocks. This uplift shows the
leverage that continuous spans exert
upon each other. The long board
represents continuous spans and the
short one simple span. The simple
span has to do all the work alone.
The continuous spans give each other
lifts"
AS stated at the beginning, con-
tinuous truss spans for bridges are
comparatively new. The oldest
bridge of this type, now in exis-
tence in America was completed in
1917, only Is years ago. It is the
Ohio river bridge of the Chesapeake
g. Ohio Northern railway at Sciot-
vile, Ohio. 1t is a double track
bridge with two continuous spans of
IT'S feet each, the longest spans of
this type in the world. This bridge
was designed and built under the di-
rection of that eminent engineer,
Gustav Lindenthal, and may be con-
sidered the parent of the modern
