 Judith made the toast. disappeared into the basement and returned with glass of jelly-"Grape, made it myself" she announced proudly. turning the quivering purple mass into dish. And then the telephone rang.

COMPASSIONATE STUDY NEEDED.

Easing its position on the first abbreviated tee- graphic dispatch from this city, outlining rather sketchily the tentative plans of the Board of Liquor Control for regulating the traffic in intoxicating liouors the Ketchikan Chronicle violently attacks that Board and Gov. Troy it's Chairman. It charges that the fundamental policy of permitting private sale of distilled liquors will restore the saloon on a scale unheard of in the old wide-open days To quote it's words
 Ketcnii m will have immediately 26
 saloons The Board will call them licensed
 beer and wine parlors, but in effect they
 are saloons The only appreciabe differ
 ence belween the "old time" saloon and the
 modern one as resurrected by the Board is
 that the latter will be far worse as social
 menace and more odious in general char
 acter
 That statement of course, canot be justified in the light of the regulations far made public by the members of the Board. Unless Ketchikan now has 26 saloons, it wont have them when the Liquor Boards regulations go into effect. And if any operator of licensed beer and and wine parlor undertakes to operate one, his license will un- doubtedly be revoked in short order and he Will face criminal prosecution, as he should. The Board is not going to tolerate evasions or infractions of it's liberal regulations Its power of revocation is absolute and from its judgment there is no chance of appeal once evasion violation is competenty established We believe that a vast majority of Alaskans will recognize the Boards sincerity, it's determination to play fair and it's equal determina- tion not to permit the saloon to return in any shape form.
 Not satisfied to question the judgment of the Board and the effectiveness of it's regulations the Chronicle must take a wholly uncalled for slap at Gov Troy who will be the Boards Chairman when it organizes. Concerning his part in the informal deliberations had to date, it gravely asserted;
 Gov Troy who dominates the Board,
 has long acquaintance with the Territory
 He is a man of learning. That he has al-
 lowed himself to hedge is regrettable. Gov
 Troy knows, as any person must, that
 the regulations proposed by the Board
 cannot be enforced, that they are travesty
 on good government
 Who we ask, will enforce the regula-
 tions? Will the Territory set up its own
 constabulary rely upon municipal author ities? The Board must realize that 26 or
 36 or 46 saloons other liquor outlets in
 any Alaska town must present szeable en-
 forcement problem. The burden will naturally
 fall upon the city government. If, therefore,
 the city must enforce the regulations why
 should they not make them?
 Gov Troy, of course, doesn't need any defens' for the part he takes and will take in the Boards deliberations He is of five members on 1t r there is anyone who thinks the Governor | domineering, he hasn't the slightest acquaintanc

KENTS FIRE CARNIVAL
SEEMS IN DISFAVOR

A few citizens of Chestertown, act
ing in an unofficial capacity, are MAX
ing a canvas of Chestertown to see
whether sufficient funds can be donat-
ed to support the fire company with
out having the annual carnival.
To date their efforts have been very
successful and it is understood that
over 5000 has been promised.
Those who are willing to donate
hard earned cash in order to prevent
a carnival may be divided into three
classes, those who morally oppose the
carnival, those who object to the park
being used for carnival. those who
object to the large amount of money
going out of town in order to give the
fire company small margin of profit.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to procure
a decree for divorce a vinculo ma
trimonii by the plaintiff, Henry j.
Burbage, from the defendant, Hazel
c. Burbage.
The Bill recites that the parties
hereto were married in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, on October 4, 1923. That
your Orator has been resident of
Worcester County, Maryland, for more
than two years last passed, while the
defendant is nonresident of the
County and State, and when last heard
from was a resident of Red Lion,
Pennsylvania. That though the con-
duct of your Orator toward his wife
has always been kind, affectionate and
above reproach, she, without just
cause or reason, abandoned and de-
serted him, and has declared her in
tention to live with him no longer,
and that such abandonment has con-
tinued uninterruptedly for more than
three years, and is deliberate and fin
al, and the separation is beyond any
reasonable hope of a reconciliation.
That there are no children as issue of
said marriage.
1t is thereupon, by the Circuit
Court for Worcester County, Mary
land ORDERED this End day of July,
1884, that the plaintiff, Henry J. Bur-
bage, by causing copy of this order
to be inserted in some weekly news
paper published in Worcester County
once in each of four successive weeks
before the 18th day of August, 1884,
give notice to the said absent defen-
dant, Hazel C. Burbage, of the OBJ
ject and substance of this Bill, warn
ing her to be and appear in this Court
in person or by solicitor on or before
the 31st day of August, 1884, to show
cause, if any she has, why a decree
should not be passed as prayed.

Railroad travel is increasing and
consequently more people are using
the telephone facilities at the Union
Station in the Nations Capital.
Washington Terminal officials say
that on an average $4,000 people now
pass through the station daily and
1000 telephone calls are made each
day to and from the station. Travellers
leaving Washington may go on any
one of 103 trains; those arriving may
come on any one of 101 trains.
Pullman car travel is also showing
a substantial increase. For the first
quarter of the year there was an in
crease of about as per cent in Pull
man tickets sold as compared with the
same period of last year. 1t is rather
interesting to learn that there are on
an average 2,700 telephone calls to the
Pullman reservation bureau, National
1870. Each twenty-four hours there are
approximately 1000 telephone calls to
the Union Stations information bu-
reau, National 276O, asking about
train schedules, fares and proper
routing and connections.
When Pullman or chair car pas
senger arrives at the Union Station
to take up his or her reservation or
buy a ticket, the teller picks up the
telephone, dials the Pullman reserva-
tion bureau, gives the order, receives
the space number, and writes and
stamps the ticket. If other infor-
nation is wanted, the ticket teller
throws a switch which connects his
telephone direct with the Terminal
private branch exchange switchboard,
where the connection is established,
and the information wanted is Sc
cured. Travel today is very much a
telephone transaction. Not only Is
information secured as to fares and
reservations, but more than go per
cent Of the railroad mileage Of the
country is telephone dispatched.
Another convenience for travellers
is the public telephone section where
operators establish 1000 calls each
day for the travelling public. These
telephone booths-seventeen in num-
ber-are operated from 1900 am. to
11:0O pm. After the latter hour,
until the operators come on duty in
the morning, there are five unattended
booths from which telephone calls
may be made locally or to out-of-
town points. This bureau maintains
a file of directories of leading cities,
so that telephone numbers may be
secured as quickly as possible with
out loss of time to travellers.
