PUBLIC WORKS
 ADMINISTRATOR
 ALL SET TO GO
Delegates Time Consumed in. Protecting Terri
 tory's Interests

WASHINGTON, D. C., July B. Special Correspondence-The of- flee of the Public Works Adminis- trator is said to be about ready to flash the Go" signal which will set in motion the vast forces sum- ,@oned by the administration to aid in curing the economic ills of the nation.
 It has been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain which projects will be included in the initial program. That is not be- cause Col. Donald H. Sawyer, tenn porary administrator of public works, is 1oath to give information but the whole set-up is in such a formative stage that decisions are changed hourly.
 For that reason Delegate Dimond has not learned which of the Alas ka projects, if any, are on the ap- proved list of the first group of public works.
 Practically all the Delegates time since Congress adjourned has been spent in protecting the Territory's interests in this respect. He re- gently had a long conference with General Pillsbury, ranking off cia1 in the office of the chief of army engineers, and urged com prehensive rivers and harbors pro- gram for Alaska.

Both repealists and prohibition ists are moving all their forces into Arkansas and Alabama, newes t battlegrounds for the eighteenth iamendment, equally determined that the voting on July IS will go their way.
 Repealists, arguing that defeat will merely slow up the march to eventual victory, nonetheless ex- press hope for a conquest that will encourage more states to set voting dates this year to get on band wagon in the movement to elimi- nate the amendment in 1883.
 Both Sides Certain
 Prohibitionists, deter m ined to fight on even if defeated in these two traditionally dry states, look for a victory that will mark the turn against repeal already voted by 16 states,
 Two days later, on July 20. Ten nessee will ballot, and on the next day Oregon voters step to the polls. Here again both sides are publicly avowing certain victory, but the repealists are pointing to Tennes- sees legalization of beer and Ore gon's repeal of it's state bone-dry act.
 Alabama's legislature, in special session, declined to legalize beer, and prohibitionists hope this in- dicates the state of public opinion. The fight is bitter, with Dr. L. E. Barton, chairman of the Associa- tion Against Repeal, predicting a knock down and drag out fight, in which i've ask no quarter and will give none"
 Facts Only In Arkansas
 The contest in Arkansas started out quietly. The Roosevelt New Deal Repeal club will not even al- low its members to debate prohi- bition on a public platform, work ing instead ito present the facts to the people instead of playing upon their passions and prejudices.' Arr kansas did not legalize beer.
 Tennessee repealists are predict ing victory by a 5000 majority, but the dry are also forecasting a large vote in their favor.
 Gn Oregon, Methodist Episcopal leaders have launched a vigorous fight to keep the state out of the repeal column, but repeal leaders appear confident. While repeal ing it's bone-dry law, Oregon's leg islatt1re declined to enact some form of liquor regulation, although the return of legal beer was immi- nent at the time.

Resignation Regretted

There was general cause for re- gret in the resignation this week as director of the national park service of Horace M Albright. There was no political reason for MT. Albright's retirement from the service, it is said He resigned m order to become vice president and general manager of the United States Potash Company, which op- crates mines and refineries at Carlsbad, New Mexico.
 MT. Albright visited Alaska once. His visit was marred by a sudden attack of appendicitis while he was in Mt. Mckinley National Park and he had to be rushed to Fairbanks by airplane for an op- eration, but that unpleasant ex- perience did not prevent him from becoming very much attached to the country.

years ago. and after a few
copies had fluttered round the offices of
Europe, it was politely filed and for
gotten.
League of Nations reports are usually
boring in the extreme. But this one Is
of so sensational nature that if it had
received proper publicity it would have
shaken Europe. For here are the hideous
accusations which it makes:
1. That armament firms have To-
mented war ScareS.
2. Have attempted to bribe govern
ment officials.
8. Have spread false reports concern
ing military and naval programs of for
eign countries in order to stimulate
armament expenditure.
4. Have sought to influence public
opinion through control of the press.
If you ponder these accusations and
read between the lines, you will see,
gradually dawning, a picture for which
the adjective "hideouS" is mild. But it
will be only a misty picture. I want
to fill it into give it light and color
and movement. And so I am now going
to take you on journey. We will get
in a train and travel to a destination
which must remain anonymous, and
these are the first words which we shall
hear:
'Of course, this is novelty, so we get
better price for it,
I stood in the armament factory, star
ing at the novelty" which was a new

larIy horrible variety. Any submarine
which brushed against it would instantly
be annihilated. The bodies of the crew
would hurtle in fragments, through the
reddening water.
Yet this novelty" cost only about $500.
Pretty good business, that, to kill so
sailors for $500. 1t works out at only f6
a sailor.
THE factory where saw this mine is
one of many that are scattered over
England There is nothing secret about
the activities of these Institutions
fact members of the public can inspect
an armament works almost as easily as
they can inspect chocolate factory.
They will not be shown any secrets, OF
course However, there is no need to be
shown secrets. The open facts are quite
frightening enough.
NV idea of the armament industry had
been very hazy. I knew that guns and
submarines, and bombing airplanes, and
all that sort of thing, were being made
by private firms, but vaguely imagined
that they must be under some sort of
government control. I certainly did not
realize that the entire business was un-
fettered and competitive. I did not
realize that in our midst were these vast
corporations, trading in death, profiting
by death, owing their very existence to
death.

accurate report of my uisit to a certain
armament factory, I shall use the pseu-

building, which was in a perpetual state
of uproar, owing to the furious activity
of the riveters next door. We had to
shout to make ourselves heard. And
so, when saw these oddlooking guns,
standing in corner, yelled:
what are these?"
THE guns were very complicated and
ingenious looking. They were beau
tifully camoufaged in grays and yellows
and blues.
"Anti-aircraft guns for Turkey"
approached them more closely. So,
although this firm was working for
Greece, it was also working for Greeces
hereditary enemy, Turkey! The good old
tradition, you see! For was it not Sir
Basil Zaharoff who sold the worlds first
submarine to Greece? And then took
the first boat to Turkey and persuaded
the Turks that since Greece had one
submarine, Turkey must have two? And
thereby started the great submarine
race which nearly destroyed the British
Empire. zaharof was patriot" hon
ored by the empire which had nearly
been brought to it's knees by the results
of his business. I am pacifist, honored
by nobody. But which of us, in the long
run, will be judged to have fought best
for his country?
There was a momentary lull in the
riveting operation and I examined the
guns more closely. Their muzzles were
pointed to the skies. They looked
queerly devotional, pointing upward like
that-as though they had been frozen
in a moment of prayer.
Eyes, the Turks are terrified of every
body"
so you do good business with
them?"
Pretty good"
We walked on. Ahead of us loomed
gigantic gun, the biggest had yet seen
in this frightening place. It was mounted
on high platform, proudly. 1t was
superbly modelled, and it cleaned with
new paint. 1t looked every inch an aris-
tocrat-and there were so feet of it! Yet
it was not an aristocrat. Indeed, 1t
spelled death to aristocrats, for it was
destined for the Republic of Spain.
Already IL of its sisters had been dis
patched to that turbulent country
Thirteen guns, with range Of 80 miles,
firing 16-inch shells, each shell costing
f1OO
But what does it matter, to these firms,
whether they deal death to monarchies
or, republics, to blacks or to whites, 50
long as they deal death? One of the
overseers said to me, as I stared at this
gun: 1--WE don't care who's having
whack at whom, providing We get the
order!"
On and on we went, through hall after
hall, out into the windswept yards, back
again, upstairs, downstairs. I lost track
of the number of things I saw. There
were stacks of machine guns for Bolivia,
ready for dispatch. There was a room
where machines of amazing delicacy
measured instruments of death to within
a thousandth of an inch. The mine cpl
sode I mentioned was what really I'm
pressed me most of all, because it was
SO very obvious that these mines which
were being sold to foreign governments
would serve their main purpose against
the British navy.
That is brief description of private
armament firm, one of number of SINH
lar firms scattered over England This
firm is unfettered. There is no sort of
restraint on its activities. True, an ex-
port license has to be obtained from the
foreign Office before ornaments can be
exported, but this license can usually be
obtained for the asking. The diversity

Meat Chilling 4ided

ONE Of the problems confronting the
Southern farmer who seeks to butcher and
cure his meat at home has been the chilling
Of the meat between the time of butchering
and the time of curing. This problem has
been solved by the engineers cf the Department
Of Agriculture.
Ordinarily week to 10 days elapse between
the time of hog butchering and the curing
process, for number of hogs are usually
handed at one time. Heretofore farmers have
taken their chances with weather conditions
in the FAN, hoping that it would be chilly
enough to keep the meat at 40 degrees or less
in the interim between the slaughter and the
processing of the meat. If warm days should
come, as often happens, thousands of pounds
Of meat are spoiled
To overcome this difficulty the department.
engineers have worked out inexpensive and
highly efficient refrigerator which has brought
the temperature down to 38 degrees while the
outside temperature has been around 85 degrees.
The box is constructed Of cribbing OF AKA
timber, with inches of sawdust between the
inner portions and the outside, which Is made
of tongue and groove or shiplap lumber, A
finch layer of cork is placed on the floor
This box, OF sufficient size to hold ton Of
meat, win chill it to 38 degrees and hold it at
that temperature for a week to 10 days ON one

Wives, DR.. WiIoughby found, pery
often are afraid Of the dark ,ole1s
imaginary hob-gobIins come dancing
out Of the shadows
Married women in general, however, despite
the prevalence Of divorce, probably take mar
riage vows very seriously even when the hus-
band is most incompatible and when emotional
adjustment Is impossible.
If you are married you may have noticed
some tendencies toward neuroticism in your
wife or husband. If SO, beware Of using this
fact a weapon In a marital spat for the data
from DIR. willoughbys research have made it
two-edged weapon.
BY having married couples I'LL out the ques-
tionnaire for spouse as well as for themselves,
he found that the ability to see neurotic traits
in ones wife or husband is associated with
neuroticism In oneself
And that is particularly true when the neu-
rotic traits falsely ascribed to the partner
in marriage. Women are more discerning than
men IN sizing up the other person, however
There Is also real relationship, although II
Is not very great, between actual neuroticism
in one of the pair and neuroticism in the other.
It would seem that wives are most likely to be
neurotic. But If they are then they most
likely think that the husband is bit that
way, too
And perhaps he Isl
