X letter received by Al Garter
 from one of his debtors

Gentelmen: s-s
 wish to inform you that the present shattered condition of my Ibank account makes it impossible for me to send you my check in response to your request. My present financial condition is due to the effect of the federal laws, state laws. county laws, incorpor- ation laws, bylaws, brother-in- laws. and outlaws that have foist ed upon an unsuspecting public. Through these various laws I have been held down, held up, sat on, walked on, fiattened, squeezed and broke until I do not know what am, where I am, or why I am.
 These laws compel me to pay . merchant tax, capital tax and car pet tax.
 In addition to these taxes I am requested and required to contrfb- -ute-to every society and organiza-  tion that the inventive mind of man can invent and organize. To the Society of St. John the Baptist the Woman's Relief, the Mans Re treat, the Navy League, the Chil- dren's Home, the Policeman's Ben- eft, the Dorcas Society, the I'M. c.

THE MUKLUK TRAIL
fcontinued from Page Four)


 NlASHINGTon, May Son the Legislative firing line of Capitol Hill the tempo of today compared with that of yesteryear may be likened to the difference between a single shot musket and a machine gun. Even the eldest of the veterans dare not predict with any degre, of certainty what is going to hap pen from one day to the next.
 But if anything appears definite at this time, 1t lis that the. i've day week; six-hour day bill will no pass. or if it does it will be so greatly altered as n be, almost unreconizable in it's present form. So great is the risk, however, of making any kind of a prediction that it is altogether within the realms of possibility that by fhe time this is read that the measure will have been enacted into law.
 The talk around the Capitol fol the last several days has been that he bill is going to be shelved. It is suggested that as a substitute Legislation will be offered where by trade associations would reg uIate their own industries, with the federal government keeping close watch over the whole situa- tion. It is problematic whether anything of that character will be offered during the special session.
 Recent developments have indic- ated a desire not to press the five day week bill. Hearings, first sch eduled to last full three weeks, were suddenly cut short and end ed Friday after witnesses had been heard over a period Of eight days.
 Alfred Sloan IT,, President Of General Motors Corporation, was thet last of the important witness .es He voiced opposition to the legislation in it's present form.
 Secretary of Labor Perkins was a strong supporter and urged that a minimum wage provision be add ed The American Federation of Labor, could not go along with her on that.
 
 As passed by the Senate the bill provided that foreign impOrtations would not have to be produced by labor conforming to the five-day week and six-hour, day. Repres- entative William Connery, Jr. of introduced the House bill and it would make necessary compliance with the measure by foreign nations shipping their goods to the US.
 Delegate Dimond could not test fly because of his Hines. He did, however, file written statement urging that Alaska be exempted AtOn LhS u1ll OH lllS SIOuuu tndL it's application there would be nothing short of ruinous Every major industry in the Territory, he pointed out, would have to cur tail operations, perhaps almost to the vanishing poinE Those de- pendent upon the fisheries and gold mining for their livlihood, comprising by far the majority of Alaskans gainfully employed, would have their incomes drastically cur tailed Or perhaps even cut off all together The result would be that the Territory would be de- populated.

of some sort. Approximately one out
of every seven-216-was under
weight; 142 had unhealthy tonsils; Al

tai number in attendance, 1871 had a
dental examination, and 767 were
treated by the dentist.
There were GA children from five
to seven years old examined in prep
aration for their admission to school.
Vaccination against smallpox had
been neglected for 334-more than
half of them-and the parents were
notified that they would have to be
vaccinated before they could be re-
ceived at any public school in the
State. When medical treatments were
needed, the mothers were directed to
take their children to their family

Maryland Behind in Its Road
Construction Program

Secretary Harold L. Ickes made
public letter to Governor Albert C..
Richie, again calling on the execu-
tive to speed up work on its public
roads program.
The letter said that of Maryland's
allotment of $3,564,527 available since
last July, only $S34,OOO was represent
ed in contracts awarded up to Novem-
Der 8, which is only 23.4 per cent of
the total. Similar letters were sent
to governors of nine other States
which were said to be tagging behind
in their roads program.
The letter to the Maryland Gov
ernor further stated that it appeared
that the amount of the allotment
which has reached the stage where
bids We're requested was likewise low.

HEALTHMOBILE TRAVELS
FAR; VISITS IS PLACES
Covers 1,4OO MiIes-Eighty-
nine Conferences Are Held

After its tour of the counties in
Southern Maryland and on the East
ern Shore, the healthmobile of the Bu-
reau of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health has been dis
mantled and put away for the win
ter. Starting out just before the
Fourth of July, and remaining in the
field until the middle of September,
the health bus covered more than 1,400
miles.
Seven counties were visited-St.
Mary's Charles, Calvert, Prince
Georges, Kent, Queen Anne's and
Somerset. Stops were made in ac-
cordance with plans arranged by the
county health officers, at conveniently
accessible places along the way. Dur
ing the eleven weeks of the tour, IS
places were visited, SO health confer
ences were held for the examination
of babies and children under school
age; and 1889 children were examined
an average of 20 or 80 each day.
AS soon as stopping place was
reached, the big car was parked; the
curtains attached to the side were
stretched out to form dressing rooms:
the steps leading up to the body of the
car, which serves as the examining
room, were adjusted, the scales used
in weighing the children, and the sup
plies needed by the doctor, were put
in their proper places; the dental chair
and the equipment used by the dentist
in examining the children's teeth were
brought out on the greenland ev-
erything was in readiness for the
mothers and children.
The staff of the health bus includ-
ed doctor, dentist, the public health
nurse of the county visited, and the
driver of the car. Of the children ex-
