the Alleghanies were able to establish themselves and build up permanent settlements that later grew into towns then cities and that made organization There no game wardens to tell the Daniel Boones, the Selbys and their contemporaries they couldn't take fur kill game to eat and sell, utilize the fish in the streams The far brigades led the way into areas, paving the way for the woods men and the farmers If they had been compelled to take licenses out; to kill game only in season and then for their personal use; if there had been set of overords saying they could not do this and that without first getting Congress to pass a new law, having permission from bureau clerk in Washington, most of the West would still be wilderness
 Yet that is the system to which Alaska has been subjected Although, due to peculiar circum- stances such as it's isolation from the rest of the country 1t should have been given greater lberality in handling the natural resources of the country, it has had restrictions. It has been less free to them when it should have been more. No student of American history is puzzled over why the system didn't work The astonishment is that it worked well as it did and not poorly.
 These are the most vital changes suggested since the Territory's Organic Act approved in 1912" said MT. Dimond He did not understate the They the only of real significance. Every Alaskan who chershes the heritage of freedom and the right to control his own destiny bequeathed him by his forbears ought to stand behind him in these matters giving him loyal support regardless of partisan politics

GRASS SPECIALISTS GIVE LAWN
 RENOVATING POINTS.

For home owners who plan to renovate their lawns this year instead of making new lawn, the United States Department of Agriculture says the four main considerations fertilizing, top dress ing, moving, and watering If lawn is reason ably clear of weeds and has at least half a stand of fairly evenly distributed grass renovation is worthwhile.
 For fertilizer, the Department recommends sheep or poultry manure commercial fertilizer known as complete" fertilizer that is high in nitrogen such as 6-8-4, plain nitrate of soda suphate of ammonia. Complete fertilizer is recommended par ticularly if phosphate and potash have not been applied in the past year Lawns require much nitro gen during the growing season and can be rushed then, but 1t is not advisable to do much fertizing in the hot summer months Fertilizer is best ap- piled by mixing it with pulverized soil and scat tering it broadcast the lawn. It is important to spread it evenly the lawn, or the grass will be dark green in spots and light green in other places.
 Top dressing lawn consists of filling all the small depressions and uneven places with good soil mixture of soil and manure.
 Don't lawns too closely, the Department says. This is especially important if there is crabgrass in the lawn, because the crabgrass can thrive when clipped short, but the lawn grass cannot do well. Setting the mower that it cuts the grass about IF inches high is satisfactory Fre- quent moving does not hurt lawn if the grass is not cut too short
 The Department grass specialists say there is a difference between watering lawn and sprinkling it. They suggest soaking the lawn once week rather than sprinkling it every day that the roots of the grass will go deeper and so be better able to withstand hot weather.

DIMoND MOVES FOR HOME RULE.

Two bills have just been introduced In Congress by Delegate Dimond One of these seeks to amend the Territorys enabling act to provide that the fisheries the fur and game of Alaska shall be turned over to the Territory to administer and regulate through the local Legislature. For many years Alaska Legislatures have memoriallzed Con gress to that end Political candidates have in weighed about the iniquities of the present system of bureaucratic control and championed local con- trol But never before has any Delegate to Con gress presented in proper form concrete program by which it may be achieved. Delegate Dimond second bill does that. He asks Congress, first, to turn over these natural resources which are 1n- separaby linked to the everyday life of vast majority of Alaskans to the Territory. Next he asks that the Governor be authorized to call special session to enact the necessary legislation to properly administer them.
 There are some Alaskans who sincerely question the financial ability of the Territory to assume such burdens. None that know of have expressed any doubt as to the ability of Alaskans to wisely administer these resources To allay the fears of the cautious ones, the Delegate asks Congress to turn over to Alaska 50 per cent of the Governments receipts from the fur seal industry cenered on the Pribiof Islands That, with already existing sources of revenue, should provide ample funds for every reasonable need
 There is no precedent in American history for Federal control of fisheries fur and game in Alaska Every American Territory before Alaska controlled and administered these things They had to in order to sustain themselves; to permit the early settlers to livelihood while they were taking root in lands. It largely through being able to use them freely without hindrance from Federal authority that the pioneers who first crossed

SYNOPSIS: Intrigue follows intrigue in the Citadel of Me kazzen, and the only safe con fidant Margaret Maligni has found, since her husband Jules has abandoned her to the ad- vances of RaisuI, is Colonel Le Sage of the French Secret Serv- ice. He promises to take her away with him when his cara van leaves Mekazzen; but before that can be Major Napoleon Riccoli of the Foreign Legion, RaisuI son of the Kaid of Me kazzen, Jules and Pedro Ma ligni, the Kaid himself-some- one will bring his plot out into the open. And what, wonders Margaret, will be her position then?

 He sat up, thereby causing an acute pain to shoot through his head, and a wave of nausea to en- gulf him.
 Why on earth was he doing cell punishment?
 Slowly his mind cleared, and memory began to work accurately.
 Gingerly he felt his head.
 Yes, by love! A lump and cut.
 But he could have sworn that Raisul had sat there in front of him, and never moved. Obviously then, he had been attacked from behind.
 Nice lad, Raisul.
 And had he really seen Margar- ct? In a brief moment between waxing and waning consciousness? Of course he had.
 He could remember how she was dressed-a plain white silk frock, Odlt 6 oSell lCV OCAb. HAliNt 4eetA- Sul and Jules Maligni were each holding one of her arms. Curse and blast them.
 Obviously he had been decoyed to Raisul's quarters by the messen- ger who had brought him the note there to be knocked out and trussed up, with a view to exhibit ing him in that condition, to Mar garet.
 Why? After Margaret had seen him, she had been taken away again, pre- sumably by force. There had been four men there for the job-and one of them her precious husband was obviously in the game, what ever it was.
 Then, apparently, the gang had turned their attention to himself and while he was still unconscious had dropped him here. Again why?

AN AMBUSH

And not too hard, my excellent King of Beasts" cautioned Raisul "or I'll have your tongue torn out by the roots. Also you shall have hundred strokes, very much too hard.
 And not too light, either" he continued, "or your stomach shall be so light, for month or two that you'll never get over it. You'll be Ibrahim the Skeleton, instead of Ibrahim the Lion, by the time I've done with you.
 So just hard enough. Just hard enough to lay him out while we truss him up. Understand?" Ibrahim the Lion grinned and shook the hardwood stick which | the Moroccan Arab uses with such skill, whether as cudgel or a mis- sile.
 "Yes, Sidi," he laughed, showing huge mouthful of great shining teeth. Watch me"
 T shall watch you all right" Raisul assured him. Get behind that curtain. The swine will sit just there, right in front of it. When I yawn loudly and say -shallah-' strike and don't bungle your job if you want to raise family"
 A few minutes later, Raisul's per- sonal bodyguard entered the room, followed by soldier of the Legion.

 "Oh, coffee, thanks replied Otho quickly, with scarcely formulated, and instantly rejected suspicion. Raisul seated himself comfort ably among his cushions, lighted a cigarette and blew a smoke-ring.

Complaints that bread prices in the
District of Columbia and in other widely
scattered sections have been raised to
unwarranted levels have been received
by the Department of Justice, it was
announced today.
The department recently launched
far-reaching investigation of bread
prices with a view to prosecuting any
bakers or distributors guilty of combin-
ing in restraint of trade
Two chain grocery concerns increased
prices on Scent loaves of bread to 6
cents yesterday. it was reported.
Justice officials said they were
watching closely" the bread situation
here and elsewhere and would invGse
authority Of the antitrust laws to pre-
vent undue" boosting of prices.
Government spokesman recently said
slight increase not exceeding about
Ia cents per leaf, might be justified
by increasing cost Of ingredients plus
the neFly-imposed wheat processing
tax. In view of this the local increase
was not received with surprise in official
quarters.

WHEAT CUT AGREED
| BY DANUBE GROUP
Big Four Producers Secure
Agreement to Restrict Ex.
ports This Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 18.-Henry Morgen-
THAI, American wheat negotiator, an
nounced today that the big four"
wheat producing nations had reached
an agreement with the Danubian coun-
tries providing for restriction Of exports
from the Danube area to $4,000 900
bushels this year and $4,000, 900 next
From other sources 1t was learned
that Thomas A. LIE Breton, Argentina's
representative. and Stanley M. Bruce
Austraha's delegate, had been present
at the negotiations only by proxy. 1t
was said, however. that they were likely
to agree to the scheme published by
Mr.. Morgenthau.
Favorable Response Expected.
The Czechoslovakian representative
asked "a hours to communicate with his
government before saying acceptance
was final, but 1t was indicated that .
favorable response was expected.
The accord Is held to be OF the
highest importance since 1t represents
the keystone of provisos set up by
Australian delegates to participation IN
an acreage restriction scheme, which
American representatives consider neces-
sary to use up the large existing wheat
surplus in order to raise prices.
Negotiations for an agreement re-
garding reduction of the world wheat
acreage and exports have been In
progress during the World Economic
Conference here by spokesman OF the
Canada.
Session With Russians.
The big four" representatives went
directly from a meeting this morning
with delegates from four Danubian
countries Hungary. Rumania. Yugo-
slavia and Bulgaria-to o session with
Russian spokesman.
In the second conference they said
they would try to tie Russia down to q
definite export quota for the next two
years.
Another parley with representatives
of France and other European import
ing countries Is scheduled for this eve
ming, at which time an effort will be
made to induce those nations to elimi-
nate some of these restrictions. such as
import quotas, which handicap . free
world market for wheat.
Concede $4,000. 900 Quota.
The Americans had first asked the
Danubians to limit exports this year to
40, 100000 bushels. and then conceded
a volume of 100000 bushels
Upon representations. however. that
this years crop in those countries is
likely to be very large, they conceded
q quota Of $4,000 900 bushels, providing
that next years amount will be limited
to $4,000 900 bushels.
1T is only few million bushels more
or less. and the difference is not worth
sacrificing the agreement for" one
