HALF LOAF BETTER THAN NONE.

On the theory that half a loaf is better than none at all, Alaska will greet the Senates action in restoring $3o00o to the Interior Department bill for the use of the United States Geological Survey in Alaska This sum is less than 50 per cent of the normal amount required for that purpose For many years the sum of $1o0,O0O appropriated by Con- gress Last year it cut to $84,50O, and this year the Budget figure, which was eliminated with out warning by the House, was $60000
 The $30000 will not permit much work to be done. In fact, if the bureau undertakes to main tain it's full staff and continue it's Washington office activities, very little if any of the money be made available for work in Alaska. Director Men denha as witness before the Senate Appropriations Committee was in a quandary over the matter and when asked by Senator Shoot if it would be possible for him to get along $3O,0O0 answered he didn't know just how it could be done, but added he might keep the project alive by discharging half of the personnel of the Alaska division.
 The House of Representatives cuaht to accept the Senate amendment. This work is probably not exceeded in importance by any ether activity of the Federal Government in the Telritory Expan- sion of the mining industry slow enough under the most favorable auspices is bound to be halted if geological investigations stopped in the North, for the fruits of work of the Geological Survey form the groundwork for prospecting
 Delegate Wickersham appeared personally before the Senate Committee to defend the item, seeking its restoration. He presented the matter ably and his assistance a material factor in the success of the Director in getting the item partly restored His facts and his analysis of them, made favor able impression the Senate and he found a ready and willing supporter in Senator Kendrck of Wyom- ing who visited here some two years ago and had more than nodding acquaintance with the need for just the sort of work that which the Geo. logical Survey carries on

by MT. Hoover only the Farm Board, the Federal
 Power Commission the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration and the Home Loan Bank Board. The Farm Board is almost surely doomed The Recon struction Finance Commission and the Home Loan Bank Board created temporary organiza- tons and it is not impossible that the Power Board will be the only permanent body added to the Gov ernment structure under the Hoover regime.
 The most famous of the Hoover commissions, was the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement, more commonly called the Wick ersham Commission. Its report which substantially rejected Prohibition as national policy was large ly dimmed by the summary declaring in favor of the Eighteenth Amendment, despite the fact that a majority of the Il members declared individually against Prohibition in it's present form. It is an historic document, but the method of it's trans mission to Congress and the public through the press did much to lessen it's influence and tended to create poular skepticsm of the studies by similar boards other important questions After that had happened the term Hoover Commissions was less derisive phrase.

CHAPTER 28. POOLE TO THE RESCUE

A curious expression grew in Mrs. Lodelys eyes. An old tag floated into Armitage's mind, about all the world loving lover Mrs. Lodely was crookedly smil- ing.
 Well, I'm dashed" She lit an other cigarette. T must say like man who speaks for himself Men used to, what's more, when I was a gel" Incredibly, she was simpering. Look here, Farrell if I lost my temper just now, for get it. And forget Barbara. She has no thought in her head but Mark. She told you as much, I'll bet"
 "Oh, yes. She told me as much and more"
 Very well then, that's settled" :"
 Armitage took her nod as a dis missal and escaped, though what it was that was settled he did not know. A stupid woman and added his caution, for that very reason a dangerous and stubborn enemy.
 On the threshold of the big drawing-room he collided with Poole.
 'Lodely's awake and asking for you" said that innocent. T went up but I'm afraid I was rather a misfit." He turned the mislead- ing candor of bis gaze upon Mrs Lodely, who at that moment is- sued forth from the inner room. q say" he announced, I've just discovered that there's dog show on at Kern's. Are you frightfully busy, Mrs. Lodely, or"
 Armitage left him at it. Loyal lad-Poole Armitage went up to the bedroom that had been his own. It should be his again, too, by gad! That was one thing he would stand out for. If there was no decorator who could evolve a suitable bedroom for Mark, Mark could thunderingly well sleep in the elevator. S
 Come in,' said the artist s: voice. :
 Armitage entered the bedroom. .:
 It was a big apartment, but, Mark had managed to clutter it. with his belongings. A trunk. gaped, half-unpacked; the para: phernalia, of pencil, paint and easel overflowed upon the bed and there were torn fragments of, paper all over the floor
 T tried to do another impress sion of Miss Raoul before went to bed,' explained Mark, as Ar. mitage glanced at the litter, but I couldn't. I don't suppose I could have improved upon the first sketches, though, anyway"
 Good, were they?" Armitage cleared chair and sat down. T don't think you showed them to me"
 That was very remiss of me-" said Mark at once. I'll see that it doesn't happen again. Armitage opened his lips-and closed them.
 You are under no obligation whatever" he said carefully to appoint me censor of your work. As to your assumption that I'm buying authority over you by of fering you a chance to make good well, it's rather an unfriendly assumption, isn't it?"
 Mark listened to this with ap- parent deep attention.
 But I thought we agreed when came that we were not friends" he said.
 With evaporation, Armitage re- membered it. Marks cool, thin voice went on
 Now you are offended because assume that if it is not liking for me, it is liking to be the patron. Well, if it's from neith- CT of these weaknesses that you invited me here, why is it?"
 It was Marks faint aura of enjoyment that betrayed him. Ar mitage was positive that Mark

OLD KINGSTON
 IS ABANDONED
Engine Is Sold-Very Lit tie Cargo Salvaged
 by Tug Akutan

When the motorship Kingston "hogged" and broke it's back on a reef in Whitestone Narrows near Sitka, another historic boat of the early Puget Sound days left it's hulk to rot in Alaskan waters, says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 The steam tug Akutan, operated by the Alaska Salvage Company, with Captain L. H. H. Jennings and M. J. Bucey, arrived from the scene last night.
 The Kingston was formerly the steamer Defiance and operated as a steamer in Puget Sound waters some 40 years ago. A number of the old timers in Alaska as boys rode on the old steamer Kingston when she was considered "crack boat" She is 100 feet long.
 At the time the Kingston met her fate in Whitestone Narrows she was out of the regular steamer channel.
 She was owned by Charles West, formerly steamer agent, who formed the Alaska Trading Com pany and carried his own cargo, which was insured for S6.500. The boats hull was insured for $4,000.
 The Akutan salvaged some of the cargo which was brought here and is now subject to the orders of the insurance underwriters. Most of the cargo, however, was damaged be- yond salvage.
 The old type of Fairbanks-Morse engines and other equipment was bought at the scene by Lawrence Freeburn, Superintendent of the Pyramid Packing Company at Sltkas He is the nephew of Jim and William Freeburn, of the Chicha- golf mine It is understood he plans to use the equipment in out fitting a cannery tender.
