 If steps are being taken to re- cruit all-AlaSka crews for the big cannerieS, MT. Hagen saw little evidence of it on his way up. In- stead he encountered a general feeling of pessimism in such fish ing towns as Ketchikan.
 The MS United departed Sunday for Boring Sea, where Captain Wold will engage in fishing during the summer.

The city's greatest optimist has been discovered. He is the man who bought 10 tickets for the Ne mana ice event and marked them for the same minute. In all likeli- hood what he intends is, that if somebody else gets on his minute he will have 10 bites out of the total before his competitor gets in on the crumbs It is also hinted that he expects to win the entire award 10 times, which, calculated at $5C,000, would make him a paper semi millionaire.
 Another optimist marked four tickets for the same day. If he happens to be on the same day and minute as the 10-ticket opti- mist with no competitors, the Nenana committee are going to have some arguments trying to ex- plain the mathematics.

pected capacity for adventure or
even rulership may be buried in
the plain personalities of per.
fectly humdrum people.
Only eight years ago Torgney
Oberg was a teller in the Chi
cago Builders and Merchants
Bank. But a dream was riding
in his mind as he ploughed
through figures. He saw him
self as chief of wild tribesmen
on an Asiatic plain. That
dream lured him from the Ger.
tainties of three meals a day
and a roof over his head and
carried him to Asia. And in
Mongolia, through some strange,
uncanny aptitude, such as Law
renee displayed in his dealings
with the Arabs, Torgney Oberg
won the friendship of the Mon
gols and made a place for him
self among them. He acquired
the management of a vast farm
of thousands of acres, and
there he raises camelS, horses
and sheep and grows wheat.

jeopardized the national secur-

American delegation is power

to the Macdonald plan, under
the instructions sent to the
American delegation after Mr..

confidential errand to Washing

If the United States Senate
will instruct it's Committee on
Foreign Relations or its Com
mittee on Military Affairs to
make a thorough examination
of the Macdonald plan during
the recess Of Congress, some
startling revelations will be
dragged into the light.
It will be demonstrated that
the Macdonald plan is largely
the joint product of the British
admiralty and the British gen.

lean acceptance of this plan
was given without the knowl-

her the pleasures and perqulsltes
which many a bank presidents
wife might envy. Carolynne has
permanents-plenty! Faclals.
Manicures. Sheerest chiffon
hose. Foamiest lace underwear.
Trickiest sport and evening
clothes. Gobs and gobs Of
lively leisure.
No wonder such marriage
as she could make, within her
opportunities, seeks like dreary
betrayal of her own interests.
Why exchange a life of such
pleasing indulgence for one of
certain hardship and sacrifice?
Moreover, all of Carolynne's
boy friends know these facts
quite as we'll as Carolynne. And,
for the most part, they are quite
as unwilling to sacrifice their
fun and freedom for her, know
ing what she'll demand in re-
turn, as she is to sacrifice hers
for them.
Yet, Carolynne's opportunities
have very definite limitations.
Socially, in spite of our demo-
cratic theories, Carolynne must
make her choice of a husband
within a certain class. If she
were either very brilliant or
very beautiful, this might not
be so. But the average Caro-
lynne isn't. And so-she can
marry Tom, Dick or Harry; but
she can't marry Paxton, Allison
or Fernald. And her job has
spoiled Carolynne for the sort
of life Tom, Dick or Harry can
offer.
So, then, what?
Go on being a stenegrapher?
1t will be fun-for some
years. While her shape and her
complexion lasts, it will be fun.
But after that?
Carolynne's mother didn't
have a tenth of Carolynne's fun
or pretty clothes. She had prac-
tically no liberty at any time
of her life. She had no choice
save to accept Tom, Dick or
Harry-or remain an ignomini-
GUS old maid, a Scant step above
''hired help" in her fathers or
brothers home.
BUT HAVING NO CHOICE.
SHE TOOK WHAT OFFERED
AND MADE THE BEST OF 1T.
She probably didn't like dish
washing a bit better than Caro-
lynne likes it. She also longed
for pretty clothes. Babies bored
her, too, and husbands exasper-
ated her. She, too, had prodi-
giouS moods of Self-pity, and
threw many a tantrum. But
that was marriage, and mar
riage was a woman's normal
career.
But Carolynne isn't happy,
and if she has an old age,
chances are she'll have to pay
the upkeep herself.
So-has her job really paid?
1t has spoiled her for mar
riage.
HAS 1T GIVEN HER ANY
THING OF LASTING VALUE

When the British Prime Min

returned to London from Wash

able to announce what history
will assess as one of the two
greatest victories of his whole
public career.
This was the consent of the
Department of State, which Mr..
Macdonald obtained presumably
while in Washington, to accept
without a single reservation the
so-called Macdonald plan for
the limitation and reduction Of
armamentS.
To date the United States is
the only one of the first class
powers which has "SWalloWed

In fact the United States is
the only power, big or small,

There, at the foot Of the
couch on which his master
sprawled, was a small table on

guilt; a bottle Of Scotch and
a glass in which highball dregs

puzzlement flashed across Lay
