Action Delayed In
 Troll Tax Case

No hearing has been held in the Juneau federal court on the case brought by Wood Freeman, representing the Trolling Vessel Owners Association, against the Territory of Alaska. The case involves the legality of tn C Alaska law by which non-resi- dent trollers are assessed $250 annual license fee for operating in Alaska waters.
 Testimony for the plaintiff troll CTS was taken by deposition in Seattle last fall, and the hearing of the defense argument and evidence was to have been held in Juneau last November. This phase of the suit has never &C., tually been undertaken, the ter ritory for some reason not wish ing to bring the matter to an issue.
 It is understood that while the matter is pending the territory will not seek to enforce the license law, although no public statement to this effect has yet been made by the authorities Pacific Fisherman.

157 Traps Closed
 To Protect Sites

4 total of 157 trap sites are to be closed in Alaskan waters this season, according to state ment of the Bureau of Fisheries There were no details given, so it is* llnknoWa2 which traps were closed voluntarily by the owners and which were closed by the bureau of fisheries.
 However, it is believed that the bulk of the traps closed are in Southeastern Alaska as the number of fish traps in Prince William sound and farther north fall far behind the number of sites closed.
 Last year 122 trap sites tenn porarily were closed in Alaskan waters, but it cannot be deter mined at this time what rela : tionship, if any, exists with the regulations closing 157 sites this year. It is possible that many oi the trap sites included in the latter group were numbered among those closed last year, but definite information regard ing this will not be available until a later date.

Request Greater
 Radio Privilege

Delegate Wickersnam has re- ceived pleas from Alaska re- questing that efforts be exerted to secure greater radio privileges for the Territory, so that with increased watt facilities there might be encouragement for the erection and operation of more powerful broadcasting stations, whereby various towns in sec tion of the Territory might be connected by remote control. The trouble is that under exist ing law Alaska is part of the fifth zone and the radio facilities are divided among the states and territories of that zone in accordance with their popula- tion. In that respect we are somewhat handicapped but the Federal Radio Commission has been very lenient and the Terri tory to-day has 24 per cent more radio facilities than it is entitl- ed to under the law. However a bill to amend the Radio Act of 1927 was introduced in the House and has already passed this branch of Congress and is now in the Senate. The bill con- tains a clause, recommended by the Commission, excluding the Territories from the zones es- tablished, but otherwise the bill applies with equal force and ef- feet. c Mex. Saltzman, chair man of the Commission, was long associated with the signal corps and also the Cable and Telegraph System in Alaska, and fully appreciates the needs of the people of the northland. He holds out the encouragement that if the bill passes the Senate and becomes a law "it will be possible to assign additional facilities to Alaska"

Al Smith Urges Foreign Debt
 Holiday

Alfred E. Smith has over night become the center of De- mocratic party discussion by his spectacular proposal at the Jef- ferson day dinner for virtual cancellation of the war debts under a plan designed to pro- mote international trade.
 He suggested the United Stat es forget" it's war debts for 20 years. During that time, he pro- posed, the United States should erase from the debt each year one-fourth of the value of goods bought by the debtors.
 At the same time Smith drove in further the wedge which has been slowly splitting him apart from his former political ally and present rival, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Some construed Smiths speech as a virtual declaration ot war against Roosevelt. In a pas sage interpreted as referring to an address made by Roosevelt last week, Smith said:
 ''I will take off my coat and vest and fight to the bitter end against any candidate who per slsts in any demagogic appeal to the masses of the working people of this country to destroy themselves by setting class a. gainst class or rich against poor"

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Intelligence.

No one knows just what inteli-
eence is At the same time, every one
thinks he does. We all have our stand
ards for judging the intelligence OF
others.
After all, intelligence is perform
ance rather than a thing. We know
it in terms of how cleverly or how
well some one does something that is In
some way related to our conception
of common sense. Some behave aS
"geniuses" Some behave a little less
SO. and are known as talented AS
you 60 down the line you have in
turn the average" the mediocre, "
the stupid" and the deficient" These
degrees of doing things we'll, If at all,
constitute the marks on fairly disable
yardstick of intelligence.
Given such a yardstick, there seems
to be some difficulty in using 1t. Al
most any one can measure his own
grade or the grade Immediately above
or below his own. But when he starts
to measure intelligence two or more
degrees up or down from his own, he
begins to get confused. He can't un-
derstand an intelligence that differs
considerably from his own.
That accounts for the truth of the
saying, set a thief to catch a thief.
That's why an intoxicated man mag
ines that the sober either do feel or
should feel about as he does. That's
why the insane imagine there's some
thing wrong with the minds of the
sane. That's why the average" man
thinks there Is such a thing as an
mediocre" or stupid" folks so often
fnd fault with the talented" and why
the talented are impatient with them.

| too. and anything which clogs the pores
impairs the efficiency of the sweat
glands.
The habit Of powdering thickly an
over heated skin is a folly Of which a
great many girls and women are too
often guilty. 1t is the cause OF black
heads and pimples in many cases. II
the face must be powdered or the SHINE
from the nose removed, the old 1ace
powder must be removed with cleans
ing oil or cream first; then the SKIN
washed in warm water and rinsed thor
oughly in cold water to close the pores
and a mild skin lotion used before fresh
powder is applied.
Here is an excellent lotion that may
be used freely on the skin in Summer
time: One pint orange flower water
10 drops simple tincture OF benzoin,
one teaspoonful powdered boraX. DIS
solve the borax in the orange mower
water and add the benzoin droy by drop.
Mix we'll Apply with clean piece
of absorbent cotton and allow 1t TO dry
on the skin.
Another point to remember Is tnat
large quantities of water are lost by way
of the skin during very hot Weatner;
Therefore, we must supply this need
by drinking larger quantities OF water
and eating more raw, juicy fruits ana
succulent vegetables. II one does not
like the taste Of pure water. frult Juices
may be added to make 1t more palataole
An average person requires at least
three or four pints OF fluid during tne
day, preferably drunk in the Intervals
between meals. In hot weather the
body needs plenty OF water, ootn lnter-
nally and externally.
External water is needed both to
cleanse the pores and cool the Dooy.
The cleansing bath with soap and water
should be warm or tepid. After the
body has been scrubbed thoroughly to
remove the days accumulations OF dust
and perspiration, tepid or cold rinse
with clear water should follow. Evening
Is usually the most convenient time
for the cleansing bath, but, OF course,
it can be taken at any time convenient
for the busy woman. Morning Is the
Sime for the stimulating shower or cold
bath. and those who have trained them
selves to react well to the cold shower
will find this type Of bath the most
enjoyable. Not every one, however, can
step out of a cold shower with a glow
ing body. Elderly people and those
whose health is impaired should mix
enough warm water with the cold to
avoid chilling the body. Follow the
bath with a brisk rundown. Dust with
talcum or bath powder.
A cooling and refreshing bath powder
lotion or salts may be added to the
warm cleansing bath. There are vari-
GUS good ones available on the market,
but for those who care to make one at
home here is an inexpensive one: One
dram Oil of lavender, dram oil of pine
dram oil of rose-geranium or other
favorite perfume, pounds carbonate
Of soda crystals. T.. Mix the oils and
sprinkle over the crystals and let 1t
stand few days so that the oils will
penetrate through the crystals. Keep
| tightly corked. Use one tablespoonful
to a full bath, or one teaspoonful to
