THE BLUE EAGLE SCARS.

The Blue Eagle-emblem of National recovery without fuss and with little adoo over It, IS ihakiie its appearance in Alaska simultaneously "iVli 'iie remainder of the country. The first ouslness houSes of the city to sign the voluntary code issued re- cently by President Roosevelt did 1t without walt ing for a meeting to be called and of theT own volition Others have been studying it carefully and the only for delay on thelr part haS peeh doubt as to just what procedure was necessary.
 That has been the experience all over the coun- try especially in the smaller communities where industries are small and few in number and trade is mostly confined to comparatively small retah busnesses The will to do is present everywhere If has been uncertainty as to the way to make the will effective that has kept them back
 In thick ranks, employers by the thousands are falling into line beneath the blue-eagled banner of National recovery Newspapers from various parts of the country just received here, tell the same story of unbounded enthusiasm. Everywhere busi- ness and industry adopting the code The hearti- ness of its reception is described surpassing the fervor with which the nation subscribed to the great Liberty Bond issues in the days of armed compat
 The Administration surprised, itself, at the spontaniety of the reception given the fresioeh's appeal Messages came to the National capital Ill great bundles from postmasters all over the lano' telling the story of willingness to cooperate with MT Roosevelt They told story of hurry to sign and the agreements so that names might quickly be placed the roll Of honor that VIII go up in postoffices of lines Of business men waiting jmpatiently in line at postoffices windows to sign of other employers typewrting the agreements from published texts because the printed copies had not arrived.
 Juneaus merchants and industries received the published code last week. Until it arrived, they had only superficial knowledge of it's requirements and what they expected to do Already they are joining the mounting thousands who are en- rolling in the great engagement against depression which the American Legion has so fttingly char acterized as "The Argonne of 1883"

Advertising Good Products.
Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.)

You a consumer become accustomed to cer- tain brands of food, of shoes of tooth paste and other necessities. You don't order 28-cents pound coffee. You order it by brand Experieice has taught you that you can depend on uniform quail ity from manufacturers who take enough pride in their products to advertise them by brands or trade names which not subject to change with levery industrial furry.
 Much advertising is without point. It fails to convey any real message. The good name of good product is the thing to advertise Customers may try something else through profitless- appeal but they realize their mistake There have been very few failures on the part Of American manufacturers who have produced first-class product, priced it reasonably and kept its name lcontinuously before consumers through intelligent advertising
 The principle trouble with the inexperienced advertiser is his intermittency. He advertises for la short time and, as results become apparent, he calls off his advertising and catches up orders. After a tme he resumes And so it goes. Another type of advertiser has a good product, but one that is not nearly well known as he prefers to believe His advertising is without immediate re- suits that net him a substantial profit He quits, and the money he expended in his half-hearted !effort is practically wasted. If advertising could accomplish such miracles with unknown com- modities, there would be need for advertising Isalesmen Why shouldn't firm manager spend a hundred dollars for advertisement if he can bank hundred dollars profit? Such profits have resulted but intermittent advertising is not the type that builds permanent business. Advertising is art It is a business and many
 who have spent a generation in that line admit that they still have much to learn. There a few fundamentals that should be understood by all who advertse-fundamenta that remove advertising
 from speculation and make it investment. And probably no one fundamental is important than that which emphasizes the inefficency of in termittent advertising in which no particular
  public is busy, and the advertising message must be truthful, direct and understandable. Such ad-
 vertisng, consistently put before consumers. will bring results. No with intelligence enough to conduct business any longer doubts the value of ladvertsing, but many business still make the mistake of not making their advertising appropria- tons a permanent investment, instead of intermt- tent expenditures that unfair to themselves,
 their product and the publications that carry their advertising

Recognizing that i've have gone through an un- happy period when the Government has attempted to enforce unpopular laws and has thereby built up a resistance by the people to law enforcement agencies" Attorney General Cummings urges new the authorities, particularly in fighting racketeers and running down kidnapers
 It is tragicaly true that the same Prohibition that developed bootlegging and rackets likewise weakened public cooperation in attacking such evils The more for speeding repeal and the total end of law that did the country the in- calculable damage of decreasing it's respect for law
 But unpopular law is not the only cause of non-co-operation. The Attorney General hits an- other buls-eye when he points to the building up of a class of criminals, armed not only with dead ly weapons but with vast amounts of money with which to furnish bail bonds, retain expert legal counsel and to secure helpful contact with corrupt politicians"
 There's the ugly root That SO many millionaire through pretty much every law but the Federal income tax law has been the most amazing and sinister feature of this countrys racket plague.

SAHARA HILL
 HAS FORTRESS

ALGIERS, Aug. 8.-A fine Ro- man fort has been discovered 40 miles from Tamanraset, in the heart of the Algerian Sahaha, by a French savant, Professor Rey- gasse.
 It is a vast stone structure on top of a hill, containing eleven chambers, and is in perfect state of preservation.
 The building, locally known as the Tomb of Ahalessa, was sup posed to be Touareg mausoleum, the grave of a Targuli princess having been found there years ago.
 A close inspection by Professor Reygasse disproved this. In addi- ton to evidence furnished by the nature of the construction, he discovered relics of Roman origin.

open to debate The principle is sound In Sweden, for example liquor is State monopoly, and profits used solely for humanitarian functions Of the Government Regardless of the certain decline of unemployment before legalized liquor becomes a reality, there will remain need for State revenues for the social services already established or TOT services needed but not yet created
 For those who resent an alliance between the State and the liquor traffic, this disposition oi the luuor revenues will go far to dissipate objec tions Many States will find the plan particularly appealing because of the dire straits they fine themselves in to finance relief work This new source of revenue will soon become available. Il it could be earmarked in advance for specific and universally approved object, substantial part of their continuing fiscal problems would be in g fair way to solution

By CARL c. CRANMER

RUSHVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 8-Just one hundred years ago-on July 22 l833-Benjamin Russell Hanby was born near the little district school where he later scrubbed on black board the words to Darling Nellie Gray" as a singing exercise for his pupils.
 And at nearby Fultonham lives Mrs. T. M. Adams, now 90 years old, believed to be the only living pupil who attended that school and learned the words of the song from the poet himself
 It is her brother, George E. Kalb, 84-year- Nashville newspaper man, who tells at first hand how Hanby wrote:
 There's a low green valley on
 the old Kentucky shore,
 Where I've whiled many hap
 py hours away,
 A-sitting and a-singing by the
 little cottage door,
 Where lived my poor Nellie
 Gray"
 Hanby was the son of United Brethren minister and spent his boyhood days playing about an old church, which also served as a school, and the adjacent cemetery.
 One of Hanby's playmates was a bay named Hyde.
 Slave Grave Inspired Him
 According to Kalb, it was the grave of runaway slave in the old churchyard that gave Hanby his inspiration for the song.
 But it was not until Hanby had moved away with his parents to Circleville, then to Westerville, Ohio, and had returned to Rush. vile to teach school that he wrote the song.
 He renewed his friendship with Hyde, and the two of them were fond of spending hours in the old churchyard where they had played as boys.
 A Blasted Romance
 One grave interested them in particular, and Hyde, who had learned the story, said it was the grave of Joe Selby, negro slave who had escaped from Kentucky and had died of pnuemonia. Selby, so he had told the little group of sympathetic abolitionists gathered about his death bed, had been in love with a slave girl by the name of Nellie Gray on a neighboring plantation. But her owner had been forced by debt to sell her to new owner farther south. In desperation he had tried to escape to Canada where he hoped to earn enough to purchase her freedom.
 Deeply impressed by the story Hanby went to his room and began jotting it down in the form of a poem. A few days later he wrote it upon the school blackboard and began teaching the words and tune to his pupils.
 It was some time later before he revised the song, secured a copyright and sold it for s25.

CONCERT GIVEN, ! PIONEERS HOME
Purser Doran Arranges S Event-M Miss Keep, AL
 aska's Orchestra In It

SITKA, Alaska, Aug. 3.-An out standing event in the lives of the residents of the Pioneers Home and one long to be remembered was a concert on Thursday after noon given by Miss Ellen Keep and the orchestra from the steam ship Alaska.
 Seated in the dining room of the Home, the early settlers of the Northland ran the gamut of emo- ton as they listened alternately to Miss Keeps glorious contralto and the playing of the orchestra in lighter vein.
 Varied Program
 Miss Keeps program of songs was well chosen and varied. To those who had known Norway as their home she sang Kjerulf's "Syanouve's Sang; to the men who had spent their early years on the plains of the West she sang Guion's Home on the Range; to a few from south of the Mason-Dixon Line Terry's Southern Lullaby; and to Alas kans all she sang Carol Beery Davis delightful Chilkat canoa love song 'Kusehanee."
 Early in her series of songs Miss Keep told her audience she had been so impressed and thrill ed by the beauty of Sitka and the surroundings that gre wished to pay a tribute to Nature. In her rendering of Beethoven's Die Ehre Gottas aus der Natur" there was an added reverence and warmth of tone that revealed more fully than any other number her emotional and artistic ability. Folk. Songs
 Miss Keeps program included ''Folksong" Chadwick, Last Rose of Summer" Die Ehre Gottes aus der Natur" (BeethoveD, Home on the Range oGuiom; "The Night Wind" (Farley), "Synnova's sbng" (Kjerulf), Southern Lullaby" (Terry), "Kusehanee" oChilka t Canoe Love Song by Carol Beery Davis, The Sleigh" (Kountz) Ashes of Roses" (Woodman).
 Miss Marie Wood was accom- panist. Miss Wood is pianist in the orchestra from the steamship Alaska. The concert was made possible by the use of small por- table organ owned by Miss Wood. Orchestra Appreciated
 Sharing honors with Miss Keep in the concert was the orchestra from the Alaska. The trio was composed by Miss Vi Ford, violin ist; Miss Ida Dillon, saxaphone, and Miss Marie Wood at the or gan. As old familiar tunes were | played there was a soft humming all over the room. Heads nodded with the rhythm and feet kept time to the dance numbers. Ap- plause and laughter were plentiful It was evident the men were hav- | ing the time of their lives. More than one voiced the hope that the orchestra will play at the Home and hospital again when the Alaska is in port.
 Visit Hospital
 Miss Keep and the orchestra also visited the Pioneers Hospital where they sang and played.
 To David Doran, purser of the i Alaska, goes a large share of the credit for the success of the con- cert. Through his courtesy the organ was transported to the Home and all business details attended to.
 Miss Keep and her mother Mrs Keep were the guests of MT. and Mrs. Filler Hansen while in Sitka

Scientist Says Auto
 Is a Cause of Crime

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Col Calvin Goddard, head of Northwestern Universitity's scientific crime de- lection laboratory, believes the pis- tol receives much blame for mod ern crime for which the motor car should at least share respon- sibility.
 Tt is the rapid means of es- cape afforded by the auto that makes possible much of modern crime" he says. "A law forbid ding any person convicted of a crime of violence from riding in any auto, under heavy penalty, would solve the problem over night"

Prime Minister j. Ramsay Mac
Donald and Neville Chamberlain,
chancellor of the exchequer, took
part In the conference.
Lobby circles at the conference
were engrossed with the erratic
movement of the dollar, which
reached high of SAL during the
day but later reacted sharply to
close at $4.31. and fell to $4.291a
in post-market trading at 6:35 p

that when the dollar improved sc
sharply. the United States was be-
ginning to worry over European
threats.
During the afternoon, Prof. Ray.

delegate. conferred for an hour
with Macdonald, and it was in

Prime Minister Macdonald for ar
hour today and 1t was understood
he would attend the next meeting
of the steering committee. He is ex-
pected to make an important move
In the committee toward meeting

After the meeting with Mac
Donald, Moley told the United
Press that they had exchanged
viewpoints"
Asked II they had discussed cur
rency Sterilization, he said mo-"
but he was not emphatic and
quickly changed the subject.
There was reason to believe
Macdonald was dissatisfied after
the conference, possibly because he
could not get much-needed imme-
date reassurances from Moley on
stablization. Moley was calm and
taciturn. Macdonald betrayed an
noyance. flying into rage when
he saw reporters tackling Motley a
few steps away.
