Straight from the Shoulder.
Portland Oregonian.)

All who have read President Roosevelts messages and speeches-and who nasn't?-cannot but be struck by their directness and lack of what, in former times, was known literary style" The fact is that the avoidance of the appearance of formal style is itself the style in these modern times.
 It is the same in oratory where the Websterian 1otunditieS have given way to a conversational tone in literature, where Victorian artificality has been displaced by the staccato of Ernest fleming way; in the drama, where the trend has been toward greater simplicity and naturalness When MT. Roose- welt addresses himself to the people to Congress in the most unaffected and simple language he is merely following the method which modern experi- ence shows to be wsast. After all, Presidential message is for the purpose of conveying thought and getting something done-not for the purpose of glorifying the writer-and the best way to convey thought is to put it into the simplest word
 Mir. Wilson had beautiful but occasionally tire some style MT Harding and MT. Hoover were more
 in the modern manner, though they remained at all times more formal than MT Roosevelt has been. MT Coolidge consciously brief and idiomatic, as man from the Vermont hills would be expected to be. But none of these carried simplicity to the extreme achieved by MT Roosevelt for instance in his radio address explaining the banking situation Probably in future years the pendulum will swing agian. Probably when the American people have been talked to in the most one-sylabe language for while they will enjoy return to the formality traditional with the Presidency. But for the time at least, MT. Roosevelt has made happy choice of literary method. He gives the appearance of con- plete candor-of talking from the shoulder, man to man. And that is what the country needs and expects from him. The times demand it, if con- fidence is to be recaptured.

A thirty-hour working week will prevail on the construction of the Federal Building in Ketchikan ac- cording to word received here.

The only exceptions are in executive, ad- ministrative, and supervisory posi- tions.

 NO, nobody's men. Mythical men. The German army of a Raids dream"
 And may one ask what you are going to tell him?"
 "Oh, very little. Only that I've come to arrest him and send him over the border for trial, on a charge of murder of French sol diers; the destruction of French conveys, posts and property; and of waging unprovoked war upon France"
 And then might one aSk?" smiled Riccoli, kindly indulgent

ALASKA HOME OWNERS MAY
 BENEFIT.

Associated Press reports to The Empire, and di patches received by the Legislature from Delega Dimond carried word that Alaska has been include in the provisions of the Home Mortgage Bill no pending before Congress. AS it was introduced Congress, the Associated Press summarized u method intended to be used to extend its bensfi to the debt-rdden home owner.

 Apply to the Federal Home Owners Loan Corporation, showing that you pay per cent interest or more that you depend able and that your obligations just now are too big for your income.
 Once convinced, the corporation will nego- tate with the holder Of your mortgage. It will seek reduction of the mortgage to- say-s6,OOO Successful, it will give to the mortgage holder in exchange for the mort gage $6,OOO worth of bonds out of the new issue bearing per cent interest
 You will get new $6,000 mortgage bear ing per cent interest and payable in monthly installments-or quarterly, semi annually annually if you prefer-over fif- teen years.
 If your taxes are in arears or if you need new roof, the corporation may lend you the necessary money at per cent adding that to your $6000 mortgage.
 Should your financial condition be such that you cannot make immediate payments, the corporation may grant yoa three year mortatorium-but you must pay up after that.
 If there is not building and loan asso- citation in your community, the corporation may establish Federal one in which you can put the money with which to meet the mortgage payments and you can borrow from that association, a secured mort gage, just as from any other.
 But the value of your home must not be more than $10,000, must it house more than three families, nor can you obtain refnancng on mortgage that covers than 80 per cent of the value of the property.

FOOD PRICES HIT
14-|NONTH TOP

Wholesale food prices now are
at the highest level in about IA
months. The weekly food index
of wholesale prices, compiled by
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, shows a
further gain of 3 cents for the
week of May 9, when it stood at
$1.8O. 1t is necessary to go back
to March Is of last year for a
higher figure.
For the fifth successive week,
advances have outnumbered the
declines in the compilation of
wholesale commodity quotations
the former totaling 81 and the
latter 10, as compared with %
and "a, respectively, for the cor
responding week of last year. In
fact, this relationship has. %.
The business activity barometer
advanced from Sill last week to
53.4 per cent of the 1928-1930
average for the current week.
This is the highest level reached
by this index since the week of
January II last, when it also
stood at 53.4.
Business failures continue con-
siderably below those of a year
ago. There was a further slight
increase, however, in the number
for the past week, over preceding
weeks, as there has been each
week since April /. Taken alto
gether, failures now are 10 per
cent higher in number than they
were a month ago.
