a boy soliciting magazine subscrip

in the gas meter manly that tim.
Dicks muse was distinctly upset.
Pattering footsteps on the side
porch.
"Well, darn" exclaimed Dicl
mildly. He went to the door.
There was Margie. a basket or
her arm. 1t was then he realized
II had been a mistake to tell Margie
his plans.
ooh" she said. He looked tired
and irritated and uncomfortable
We'll. anyway. here's your lunch
Were you going to have any?"
She pushed her way past Dick
and laid out tempting lunch.
i've been watching your house
this morning, and it seemed as II
every Tom. Dick and Harry's been
here to bother you"
"You don't know the worst. Tel
phones been going the whole
darned day. Gosh. this tastes good"
Its cold" said Margie.
'0h. hang It." exclaimed Dick.
Guess I've let the furnace fire 90
out"
"You shouldn't try to write and
keep house too." said Margie. 81
suppose you think I'm another
bother. Good-by. Just settle down
to work again and try to forget all
the bothers."
He didn't notice that the side
door didn't slam shut. And he didn't
hear Margie's investigating steps
into the cellar. But FIVE minutes
later she slipped quietly back into
the room, log and some kindlings
in the basket on her arm. Furnace
is all right" she said reassuringly.
I've opened the draughts. Just stop
worrying" And she put the kin
dlings and log in the fireplace,
touched a match to the paper under
them, and. when they were blazing,
cleared up the lunch things and
then sat down quietly beside the
fire with a magazine.
The afternoon went amazingly
well. 1t seemed, to Dick, the most
natural thing in the world to have
Margie there answering doorbells
and telephones and keeping the de-
tail Of worries from him.
At six he stretched his long legs
under the table, clasped his arms
behind his head and looked across
the room to Margie, still sitting qui-
etly by the fireplace.
"Margie." he said rather awedly,
Il think I've got it. | mean, / think
it's real story. And it's due to
you. Not just keeping away the
interruptions-more than that"
'Well-" said Margie.
"Margie, the heroine's like you.

ONLY Is MORE.

Arizona, voting three to for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, brought the total that mas to date rejected National Prohibition to 2l States Only Is needed to accomplish that oo- jective year ago, prophecies that such an even tualty was in sight greeted by derision by the Drys and even optimistic minded Vets thought the prophets were wee bit too previous in their prognostications AS matter of fact, at this time last year there was great deal of doubt if a Congress could be elected that would submit repeal resolution to the States and few dreamed that con- dtions would so develop that the then existing Congress would do
 Now there is no longer any doubt that repeal is but a question of few months surely not later than early next year And the returns to date seem to show conclusively that 1t will be accomplished before January l. Twenty -one States have acted. Fifteen more are needed. Concident with the an- nouncement of the election results in Arizona on Tuesday, came the news that Colorado had fixed September I2 next for it's election That brings the number up to s6, and the confidence of the Vets that all of them will ratify the repeal resolution is apparently justified East West, North South and in between wherever there has been chance to vote on the issue, the outcome has been the location have expressed themselves with unanimity that has turned the defeat of the Prohibtionists into a confused rout
 Three more States vote this month in which the Mississippi Valley Southwest and Pacific Coast voters will register their will. Missouri is the next voting on August 19 A week later the scene shifts to Texas where Senator Morric Sheppard, one o1 the authors of the Eighteenth Amendment is lead ing desperate fight to stave off defeat. On August 29 Washington State voters march to the polls ir the twenty-fourth State test.

WHAT THE MIRA CODE WILL DO.

The question has been raised in numerous quarters as to what extent the unemployed of the country will be aided by the adoption of the Presidents voluntary code generally by business and industry throughout the country. The National Recovery Administration answered that query -re- gently It estimated that more than 100000 per- sons representing approximately $90O000000 in wages will be re-employed almost immediately under the retail and grocery code agreements.
 The 40-hour week code probably will affect 3,00OOO0 employees in dry goods and department stores. speciality shops, mail order houses, mems clothing and furnishings furniture hardware and shoe stores The code covering food stores, the Administration said, would require immediate increase of 34 per cent in the number of employees because of the reduction in working hours.

Governors Tour.
Anchorage Times.)

Governor Troy left Juneau yestreday on tour of Alaska. The modest announcement of his start ling on the trip may not evoke much interest in distant quarters but to Alaskans the trip fraugh with much of consequence.
 Few Governors the world preside over as kingdoms insignificant in extent as compared to Alaska, and this Territory is by far the largest lsngle geographical division under the Stars and Stripes.
 Governor Troy's tour will enable him to learn first hand the wants of the people throughout his vast domain, and he will return to his executive headquarters far better informed about the Territory and the wants of its people He will be much better equipped to decide matters of importance coming before him and will have a deeper understanding and be much able to advise the Federal Government on matters he will be called upon to take up with the Administration at Washington. Each and every community will look forward to the Governors coming and be prepared to show him their respeticve localities and present their various wants.
 Anchorage will be exception, and has quite lot to present to the Governor It will be well for the representative bodies in Anchorage to prepare to give the Governor fitting reception and to be reaoy to furnish him with data on all live issues of the day touching this locality. The Governor will appreciate all reliable information and helpful sug- geStionS In order to the Governor sojourn- ing here reasonable length of time when he does
 arrive it will not be amiss to start immediately to
 make arrangements for his visit, to contact him
 and see that he is provided with the desired con- nectons that will land him here in such time that
 he will not have to be rushed away before the
 citizens can meet and fully confer with him. | The Governor will not be able to come this way often, and now is the opportunity to present the
 case of Anchorage and vicinity. The Governor
 deals with many Territorial affairs and is in an
 influential position respecting all matters under Fed
 eral administration in the North. Now is the time
 to enlist his sympathy in all worthy movements
 and at the same time lend him the cooperation
 and aid that he needs in order to discharge his
 duties to the best interest of Alaska as whole.

LIQUIDATING WAR DEBTS.

The steady march of repeal adds interest to a proposal which heretofore has had but academic interest. Since the supply of matured whiskies and wines in this country is extremely limited, foreign nations which are in debt to us may make annual payments in wines and liquor.
 Economists have been at pains to point out that payments in gold are out of the question It is recalled that the United States consumed an- nually 6O,OOO0OO gallons of whiskey before the Ma tional Prohibition Act outlawed a legalized and controlled industry and put the business in the hand of racketeers Just how much good indiffer- ent and bad liquor the country is now consuming is matter of speculation. But the consumption rate of today probably is not less than it was 13 years ago.
 Except for Kentucky's 5,O0OOOO gallons of pre- whiskey, and 100000 gallons of medicina whiskey manufactured since 1928. there is but A. 100000 gallons of other hard liquor stacked up ir warehouses of the United States. With repeal now counted virtual certainty it is possible to visualize the rush of foreign wines and whiskies brandies rums and gins to the shores of America. Some Government supervision, tariffs and handling oi them practicable.
 Why not take them all in payments of debts we are not likely to ever collect in cash2 One thing which the plan does offer is relief to the present financial strain of friendly debtor who evinces desire to pay-England.

Today and Tomorro,u
Labor and the New Deal
By WALTER LIPPMANN

To students of labor conditions in other countries it must be ra- ther astonishing to see a great movement to raise wages, reduce hours, and remove the obstacles to unionization, being initiated and carried through not by organized labor or labor party but by the government. They are bound to ask themselves how permanent the improved status of the wage-earn- CT is likely to be when that inn provement depends not upon his own position in his industry but upon enlightened benevolence and the sense of expediency of pub lie officials who can be turned out of office by the next election The answer to this question is likely to depend, I should suppose, upon whether American labor leaders are capable of utilizing the opportunity and meeting the responsibilities which the Nation al Recovery Act is creating.
 Once before in recent years the status of labor and of labor un- ionism was greatly improved by government action. This happen ed during the war and just after it. Not only were wages greatly increased but so too was trade union membership. According to Dr. Leo Wolman's estimates, which are the most authoritative, in this field there were about 2,800,000 trade unions in all kinds in 1916. Tn 1920 there were little more than 5,000,000 Unionism almost doubled in strength during the war period Conditions were fa- vorable. On the one side there was shortage of labor from the stopping of immigration and the enlistment of 100000 men in the army. On the other side there was an intense demand for labor to produce war supplies More over, in those years there was an Administration in Wa ng o n which, like the present one, was instinctively favorable to labor un- ionism. For that reason, and also because it was necessary to avoid all strikes, the government did very much the same sort of thing it is doing now It fixed labor conditions in contracts and threw the might of it's influence on the side of collective bargaining.
 Under these artificially favor able conditions labor ul1ionism as measured by membership and by influence made the greatest ad- vance it has ever made in our history. But the record shows that labor unionism made very lit- tle real advance in gaining the all legiance of wage earners or of demonstrating it's power to repre- sent their interests When the artificially favorable conditions were removed, the membership and influence of the unions went into a rapid decline. By 1928 the unions had lost all that they had gained between 1918 and 1920. By 1882 they had probably receded to their pre-war size.
 But even more striking and more significant than the decline in total membership has been the virtual disappearance of trade un- ionism from the main body of American industry and it's concen- tration in very few trades where there are on the whole artificial ly favorable conditions. Even be- fore the depression had devastat- ed the ranks of unionism, in 1930, 70 per cent of it's membership was in five industries. Transportation, which, of course, means chiefly the railroads, accounted for a lit-
