Who's at Fault?

The case concerned an acci-
dent. The defendant had been
driving his sedan along Main
Street toward Franklin Place.
The plaintiff, an elderly italian,
had picked that very moment to
cross Main Street. The Italian,
named Pasquale Ruffo, had
played hide-and-go-seek with
the defendants car, but had
eventually been tagged.
The argument was: Whose
fault was it?
The defendant, Bertram Wig
glebotham, was small man
who had habit of biting his
nails when he spoke. On the
witness stand he said that he
had been driving slowly, so SLOW
ly that he could barely keep the
car in high gear along Main
Street. His eyes were on the
road, and, before he could say
Leonard Lyons, why Ruffo had
dove right under the front
wheels as though he had con-
templated suicide.
Pasquale RuffO took the stand
in rebuttal. He couldn't speak
the language and the court in
terpreter SWore he spoke Italian
in pig Latin.
Ruffo, through the interpreter,
said that Wigglebotham had
been flying along Main Street at
a terrific rate of speed; that, as
he passed the intersection of
Jones Place, Wigglebotham had
turned in his seat to wave to a
blonde, and that after the acci-
dent the defendant had at
tempted to leave the scene, but
the car stalled.
It began to look as though
somebody was lying.
Then Ruffo's attorney, a man
who knew every legal move on
the calendar-and some that
weren't-produced his trump
card. A witness! A frail, quiet
old lady, who happened to be
standing at the corner of Main
Street and Jones Place just as
the accident happened.
Poor Old Lady
On the stand, she seemed
verging on tears most Of the
time. It was easy to see that
she was unaccustomed to court
procedure. Her voice was little

Gets Touching
Fan Letter
BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, July 7.-While
all the world will see Maurice
Chevalier in "The Way to Love, j."
the film will have a special mean
ing to a girl in Lincoln, Neb., a
girl who wrote the most touching
fan letter I have ever read.
Clear across the ocean and back
again, the envelope trailed the
French star. 1t had been ad-
dressed simply, Maurice Cheva-
lier, Paris, France" Unquestion-
ably this would have been enough.
But the actor had sailed. They
sent it on to the Paramount
studio.
The message begins urgently,
please, Mr.. Chevalier, come back
to America soon and make an
other picture" For few lines
the writer tells how Maurice has
always been her favorite. And
then she says: IT have a special
reason for my. request. The doc
tor has told me that within six
months shall be totally blind.
Before then I want to see you
one last time upon the screen"
Pathos, too, in another para
graph: lone comp ensating G
thought is that the memory
carry Of you will be unchanging
You will always be the same
Maurice. You will never grow
old"
have a message for the
writer Of that letter. I want her
to know how deeply Chevalier
was impressed by her plea. I
walt her to hear that he is max
ing the picture and that she will
see it before those precious six
months are gone. And 1 want to
tell her that she shortly will re-
ceive a letter, a letter from-him.

The court was filled. The
case wasn't important, but it
was raining outside. Peeping
above the rows of benches were
rows of heads bobbing like yacht
buoyS in heavy swell.
The judge had just entered.
"A court attache had yelled
something unintelligible and
everyone had stood UP noisily.
The Judge scowled at the tax
payers, and sat down with a
grunt. He ruffled some papers.
Then he folded his hands across
his bulging black robe, and
leaned back to be bored in COM

DIMOND SEEKING FUNDS
 FOR INTL. HIGHWAY

Alaska Delegate A. J. Di- mond will ask for an approp- riaticn of $1,970,00O for the construction of the Alaska sec tion of the proposed Pacific Yukon Alaska international highway.
 Delegate Dimond declared the project an ideal public works enterprise, as much of the 174 miles of construction would be hand work and a great portion of the $1,970,000 would go for day labor, the remainder for bridges, culverts, and engin- eering. The usefulness of the Alaska section depends in no way on the Canadian portion of the highway and will open up thousands of acres of virgin timber lands, and mining sites heretofore scarcely touched, the delegate said.

Splendid Performance
 By Church Players

The Portland Canal district has never witnessed a more finished and artistically pre- sented theatrical performance than was displayed in the pro- duction of the three-act conn., edy-drama, Aunt Fannyfs Visit" presented in Stewart last Friday and Saturday eve- nings under the auspices of the Women's Association of the United Church.
 Although presented by anna teurs, the various characters were portrayed with such con- summate skill and artistry that it was truly difficult for those in the audience to realize that the performers were indeed their own neighbors and friends and not members of some professional organization. And not alone were the indi- vidual performances of a quail ity far above the ordinary anna teur concept, but the product as a whole was distinguished bya smoothness of movement and subtility of action seldom seen off the professional stage. The play, with it's wealth of serio-comic situations, provided a splendid vehicle for the tall ents of the cast; a majority of whom are veterans of num- erous stage productions. Wor- thy of especial mention was the work of Ila MacNeill, as the maid; P. s. Jack, as the policeman; and s. G. Lawrence as the crook. Others in the cast were Muriel Esselmont, w. D. Smith, Betty Rochfort, E. T. Applewhaite, Gwen. Mor- rice and Edith Behnson.

"chief danger" of present de- velopments is that they "point toward too much spending of highly dangerous sort. " People who get dollar may come to feel that they must spend it immediately for fear it will be worthless tomorrow" they declared.

Hesse Writes Of New
 Pioneers Home Plans

The Pioneers Home Building Commission hopes to get start ed with the construction of the new $225, ,000 Pioneers Home at Sitka by April and hopes to have building that will be a credit to the Territory and a source of comfort to those who may be obliged to live in it, ac- cording to William A. Hesse, Territorial Highway Engineer and chairman of the commits sion.
 In a letter to the Herald, Mir. Hesse states that tentative plans for the new home con- template a buildign about 200 feet across the front, three stories, with daylight" base ment, with the hospital occu- pying the entire third floor, and served by an automatic elevator. Construction is to be of reinforced concrete and Class A. The board expects to make the home one of the most beautiful spot in the Ter ritory, and it can be done, MT. Hesse states.
 "One of our big problems here," the letter says, ''is the question of burial and I believe that we should resort to cre- nation and get away from this cemetery foolishness. We now have over 400 pioneers buried here in three cemeteries and to say that it is mess is putting it mildly. Of course, no surveys have ever been made and the records are bad. but we hope to straighten it out and get started right; and continue so until some differ ent method is adopted. We have had six deaths so far this month (November), which en- phasizes the necessity of burial grounds which we are now un- dertaking to provide.

Hyder Is Allotted
 Civil Works Funds

Hyder unemployed will part icipate to the extent of about $500 in the allotment of ap- prcximately $175,000 granted 10 the Territory of Alaska by the Civil Works Adm;nistra- tion, President Roosevelt's new est agency for relieving unem- ployment. This became known Sunday when Territorial Rep sentative J. K. Green was auth orized by telegram from the Alaska Road Commission to employ four men to work on the Salmon River flood protec- tion project until February Is. The message, which is self explanatory, follows:
 "The governors office has given general supervision of Civil Works Administration jobs to the Alaska Road Com mission. Four jobs, limited to 30 hours a week, have been allotted to Hyder. Rate of pay is 62 cents per hour but one of the four can act as foreman at 75 cents.
 "The primary object of the funds is to take all able-bodied men off any kind of relief and this class is to be given first consideration. '-.-.>- .-g-z
 Our engineer will be down that way within the next two weeks but in the meantime. will appreciate it if you would and put men to work. You are undoubtedly familiar with dam project. Forms cov- ering work will be forwarded first opportunity but work can commence now so long as you keep account of the mems time. Advise this office when work is started.
 "All work ends the night of February Is and nothing should be started which can not be left in a state of useful ness by that time with the al- lotted workers. The money is for labor only and all tools and materials must be furnished by town"
 Later, at the request of MT. Green, the above instructions were modified to permit the employment of additional men who are in imperative need of by dividing the work. This procedure will increase the actual number of work hours to AZ per week, instead of the 30 hours origin ally stipulated, in addition to increasing the number of "jobs" made available.

financial activities. The move ment toward remonetization is growing steadily and there ap- pears little doubt that decisive action will be taken in that direction during the coming Congressional session.
 Radio broadcasts last Sunday reported that Representative Henry T. Rainey, speaker of the House of Representatives, has announced himself in favor of 16 to l reconciliation and believes it can be accomplished in the next session.
 Senator Borah has issued a vigorous new demand for re- monetization of silver. follow ing disclosure that the govern ment has used only a fraction of the $50,000,000 gold buying fund during a months opera tions.
 Senator Pittman, who has been charged with being op- posed to actual remonetization of silver, although seeking to aid the silver-mining industry by price increase, is now re- ported advocating free coin- age of U. s. mined silver by government hints at a ratio of 16 to l of gold. This will affect silver only in the United States.
 Recent checking of the gov ernments daily advances ill the price of gold is causing wide speculation and is believed to indicate that only a my, larate future use of the purchas- ing policy in harmony with commodity price trends will be exercised.
 The Roosevelt dollar vas pronounced the "soundest money on earth, now or at any other time" by General John- son, head of the NRA, ill a pub lie statement, but H. I. Harri- man, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, urged prompt return to gold exchange stabilization and re- moval of NRA "burdens" upon small businesses.
