SECRETARY WOODIN.

From cleaner of castings at 90 cents per day to the head of great industrial corporations ana Secretary of the Treasury of the United States is the career of William H. Woodin, who died last week at his home in New York City at the age of 66 years He had a remarkable business career and after he had reached age at which most men are content to rest, he turned to the com position of music in which in the last five years Of his life achieved wide notice.
 Perhaps none Of the jobs that he undertook was as strenuous and contained many problems as the last one he held-Secretary of Treasury The personal selection of President Roosevelt he served the country and his great chief with singular fidelity until he forced to retire by the illness that caused his death. When he took up the treasury portfolio that department faced an unusually diff ficult situation The public debt had mounted through the crisis years of 192932 to 100000 a gain of 20 per cent, due to borrowing money to run the government in the face of declining reve- nues The deficit for the first eight months of the fiscal year 1932-33, current when he went into office was s1 s1,45O,O0oo0O.
 Approximately s6000oO00o0 of the public debt made up of short term securities with half that amount due in from 90 days to year and more than s1 700 100000 falling due within the first four months of his administration.
 In addition there were 8201 313050 in Liberty bonds which had to be refunded within few years carried along to maturity at higher rates of interest than was generally demanded for govern ment securities.
 He was charged too with handling the $11, 000000O00 in war debts owed the United States by European nations which had been unable to meet their obligations The demands of the emer- gency Reconstruction Finance Corporation constitut- ed another drain on public funds
 The first act of the Roosevelt Administration to declare national banking holiday which closed all financial institutions in the country for 10 days and then allowed them to reopen only under regulations which the Treasury Department was charged with enforcing The crisis involved the issuing of millions of currency in Federal Reserve Bank notes, classification of the closed banks according to liquidty of assets and tremend amount of other detail work for the new Secretary.
 He held to his post, with rest periods that he took under pressure from friends and physicians long after he realized that he ought to step out from all responsibility and active labor. Yet he felt that his presence might be helpful, that his resignation might be construed in some quarters arising from differences between himself and President Roosevelt the atters monetary poli- policies and interpreted them to the public in- telligently. And when he did resign, the whole country knew it was forced by very serious illness, one that he not likely to from He may never be classified as of the countrys great Secretaries of the Treasury, but all will accord him the highest rank for self-sacrficinf service to his leader and to the country in time of very grave national concern

REAL DEVELOPMENT.

In his brief talk to the Chamber of Commerce last Thursday, M L. Merritt struck the keynote of development that is needed here We should not he said in effect, be too much impressed by the size o1 any particular industrial development, the amount of it's invested capital and its profits but on how many home owning residents it adds to AaskaS population. In other words, what Alaska needs is not just development of its mineral fish cries and timber resources but the sort of develop ment of them that adds to its permanent resi- dential population. It is not going to make a great commonwealth if industries establish them selves here, though they profitable to their owners, if all the proceeds go elsewhere to support people who do not live here.
 That is, of course, the fundamental reason why so many Alaskans, who have studied the develop ment and growth of other frontiers so insisent on the necessity for every possible measure of home rule for the Territory. Until we do have local control of local resources development is not going to be of the type that MT. Merritt has urged as the kind that we need here We agree with him that it is the proper sort And we are absolutely convinced that we shall not have it in any large measure until we attain to the degree of home rule that Delegate Dimond is now seeking from Congress.

HAND-KISS|NC ABROAD B0RES
 CHORUS GIRLS

NEW YORK, May 5.-Fed up on continental gallantry, with it's at- tendant hand-kissing, a group of American chorines have returned after playing season at Monte Carlo.
 The European men have a few good points, however admitted Miss Evelyn Joslyn, one of the principals of the troupe.
 They don't leer at you like the night club ringsiders in this coun- try
 This attitude, however, Miss Jos lyn said, could easily become one of apathy-an objectionable thing.
 "They-t hese Frenchmen and Englishmen-often act bored" she declared, explaining that such an attitude is no stimulus to that in- her, artistic urge that every chorus girl has.
 Miss Winifred Stark, another member of the company, said she was glad to get away from all that Old World chivalry.
 We were always having our hands kissed" she said, adding that this might be pleasant to the kiss CT, but apt to become quite boring to the kissee.
 Miss Stark's chief objection to the attentiveness of European gen. tlemen is that "one suspects they are not very sincere"
 American men are more obvi- ous," she said.

 PARIS, May 7.-Prison bars are the unhappy inheritance of the beautiful widow of Serge Alexandre Stavisky, whose swindling career is French national scandal.
 Madame Arlette Simon Stavisky, once a mannequin in a world fa- nous dressmakers salon, later the toast of brilliant parties in the most fashionable resorts of France, now occupies a dingy cell in the Petite Roquette, women's prison of Paris.
 She is charged with complicity in fraud and receiving and conceal ing stolen property. But that wor- ries her less than the welfare of her two children, Micheline, six years old, and Claude, four, waiting with their governess in a furnished flat for their mother to come home. They think their father is merely lon journey"
 Hopes to Find Job
 Gone are the happy days when she and her little son and daugh- ter sat in bower of flowers and watched gay festivals at Cannes. Put away are the skiing costumes the family donned for slides down fashionable Alpine slopes, and the beach garb worn at Deauville and other smart shore resorts. Whenever she is released from prison, Madame Stavisky intends to find a job to support herself and the children, for the man who was accused of nearly $40000,00O in frauds left nothing, she says, when a pistol ended his life in a mountain hideaway near Chamonix One LOok'-And Love Tall, slender, with large dark eyes, Arlette Simon first attracted Handsome Alex" Stavisky in a Paris night club nine years ago. "It was love at first sight," she said Arlette, who was to know all the luxuries that money could buy, had a humble start in life. Her father a provincial Frenchman of modest means, was killed in the Argonne Her mother, after the war, mar ried again, and Arlette came to Paris and got mannequin's job One evening she was in night club.
 Serge came in and stopped be- fore our table," she said My friend introduced me to him. Serge and I took one look at each other and, fell in love"
 T wanted Serge to lead quiet life," Madame Stavisky once said But he always was interested ir floating large companies. He never talked business to me. When ht come home, he forgot with us al his cares.'

Short hair and short skirts have come to stay. Women will never again submit" No one will have any difficulty filling out the sentence or putting date line on it. And if the words are easily remembered so is the tone It was one of quet and complete conviction. A sort of casual or course undescored it. Even those who dsapproved iol these fashions gave in to the air of finality with which they defended. "Oh well! Have Ut your way, they sighed They are hygienic and comfortable, no doubt
 Now to note that the reaction has reached the parlor floor with ruffles takes something less than perspicacity.

 But like so many other human inspirations the one toward novelty is hardly pushed to the top of

Manual Foil.
(New York World Telegram )


 pr. Robert A. Millikan, the great scientist. on Monday expressed his opinion that the garage man who tinkers with automobiles has "as interesting job as exists this earth"
 Plenty is said in poetry about manual toilers. but large part of the population manages to keep line drawn this side of the sweat and grime that usually go with it.
 News reports from Moscow tell of two women from New York's Social Register using pick and shovel all day in helping build Moscow's new subway, along with many other Americans
 It seems entirely possible that if you scratched many corporation president and many a dowager you would find a handicraftsman at heart Only Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and few of their like have managed to go to work in shop in the morning and return home to palace in the evening.
 The earthly instinct is deep in virtually every human being. Is it essentially and fundamentally any more respectable intellectually ad- vanced, for example to slave at drawing up legal briefs than to labor in locating the trouble in an aiing automobile?

A per cent gain in the nations department store sales, and there excellent reasons for believing that this reflects substantial rise in the general level of prosperity.
 The gain is coming hand in hand with a rise in national income Figures compiled by the American Federation of Labor show that the work CTS total income has risen fl per cent in the past year-from Sl,784, 100000 in March 1933 to $2520,- 900 1000 in March, 1884
 These figures indicate pretty concusivey that the nation is rapidly gaining it's health People have more money to spend and they are spending it. The industrial pump is getting prmed at last; the pickup ought to go forward now more rapidly.
