thing like that?"
Mazda herself began to get excited
over it. She dashed home in her
hours OF duty, foregoing lunch to
gain 80 minutes and hoping that
Stanley would be there to drive her
back to the hospital. She had to
find a costume of some sort or. fail
ing that, get her mother to order one
sent out from costumer.
In matters of dress she could count
on her mothers whole-hearted SYM
pathy and attention. Mrs. Connell
loved a party and it was never too
late when Mazda got home for Mrs.
Connell to call her into the bed room
and ask about the details. And since
Mazda had been going to dances her
mother had never watched her put
on the pretty party dress and wave
good-by from the front door with
out thinking romantically, Maybe
she will meet some one tonight. This
boy she is going with is mere no.

handsome and rich will be there"
Mrs. Connell was given to these
girlish imaginings more than MAZDA,
who openly scoffed, but hope springs
eternal in a mothers breast and Mrs.
Connell was thrilled when she learned
that Mazda was going with blind"

"Oh, mother, he's probably terrible,
or they would'n have had any trouble
finding a girl for him. Forget about
him and let's go to the attic and rake
up a costume. How about that old
gypsy dress I used to wear?"
"Oh, that's too common, Mazda.
Let me SEE

1905. Did you actually wear this
costume. mother?"
"It was much later than that. How
old do you think am? No, you can't
wear that. Don't be funny. You
have to wear those horrid stiff uni
forms all day. I should think you
would like pretty costume"
Stanley joined them and remained
to laugh over the hodge -podge they
pulled from the old trunks. They
had decided nothing when Mazda, with
a startled glance at her watch, jumped

It was the first time she had rid

thoroughly enjoyed the luxury of it.

must have set you back a lot. How
is the money holding out?"
"Well, to tell the truth, Mazda, these

expensive, but I won't have to lay
out so much from now on. Then
am working on that deal told you
about. Old Mrs. Mcintyre is con-
sidering seriously"
THAT old freak? Fannie Wards

Stanley grinned.
"She does hang onto youth desper-
ately," he answered. Probably that's
why she likes me. It pleases her to
have a young man pay her little
attention, and I'm willing, if it will
make her fork over the money"
How about your big love affair,

feur to find out II 1t were Stanley who
would be Norine's escort when they
came to take him home.
"It was catty of me to say she was
common, even to myself" thought
Mazda. She could imagine the spoiled,
impulsive girl, perhaps seeing the man
of at the station, and after he had
gone, turning to Duggan, laughing
and blushing, Isn't he wonderful!
I'm going to marry him If 1t takes
a leg!"
"He's a swell fellow, too. You know
Mr.. Pryde, the one that come with
her last time"
Well, that sounded bad for Stanley.
He should have looked up the history
of this prospect of his, found out
about the prior attachment, before
he tried to sell her on his not-too-inl-
portant self. Certainly no girl In
her right senses would prefer Stanley
to Mr.. Pryde. Why, he was the sort

quiet, yet with a personality that COM

She could not help watching the

reason she herself hardly understood,
she took pains to keep out Of their
way while the beaming Duggan was
getting ready for departure. Mr..
Pryde did not pay much attention to
Norine. He let her babble on, with
the indulgent smile of an elder
brother, but he took little part in the
conversation and his eyes wandered
about the ward as If he were inter-
ested in the inmates. Mazda, who had
ducked into the utility room when she
saw them coming, now found 1t expe-
dent to duck again, for it was time
for Miss Halverson to return from her
hours of duty. Carrying a pan,
chastely draped in blue-and-white-
striped cover, she emerged from the
door and almost ran into Duggan and
his two patrons. 'Good-by, Miss

mantle attachment for MAZDA.

"She's my favorite movie actress"
He was only boy, as MAZDA real
ized when he told her dream he had
had, in which he rescued her from
band of cutthroats and galloped away
with her on mis- horse; but MAZDA was
not able to keep herself from a snob-
bish feeling of annoyance at the
thought that while Stanley courted
the boss daughter the chauffeur was
in love with her. Yet she could not
snub the boy, he was so honest and
simple and so unconscious of offense.
Nevertheless, she was glad when Dug
gan told her that he was going home
the next day.
Miss Norine, she's going to take
me home In her car, her and her
beau"
Mazda was on pins and needles.
Could Stanley be coming here? 1t
would be amusing If, while acting as
assistant to Lady Bountiful, he should
meet his sister and have 20 introduce
her.
"I didn't know she was engaged"
she answered Duggan, hoping he
would volunteer the mans name. It

FRIGHT DOWN THE LINE"

IF you have confidence in President Roosevets
program, if you believe in the New Deal, support
it right down the line If otherwise, tear it down
That is the advice given Alaskans by Delegate
Dimond in his speech here Tuesday night. This
is the time to express your views" he added
Although the Delegates address not political,
these extracts from it cannot be viewed from any
other angle. And that is not because the New Deal
is in itself political program but it has been made
issue in the current election by the Republican
Party In Alaska as elsewhere, the G. o. P. can
ddates have attacked it with bitter criticisms. The
expenditures under it have been characterized as
"rotous" and the Administration in Washington
denounced as rotten" View it as one will, re-
gardless of local issues, which are largely OF the
manufactured variety" the issue in the election
of September II, is going to be interpreted in the
country at large as an expression of Alaskan sen-
ment the New Deal
This is the time to choose" he declared. And
that is absolutely true. One doesn't have to be an
ardent politician to that. On the one hand
there stands the President leading the way in a
New Deal-a deal as "od the earliest aspirations
of humanity for liberty and justice and the good
life AS old as Christian ethics for basically its
ethics are the same" On the other are the reac-
tionary forces whose propaganda is flooding the
country; whose strategy is to defeat the aims and
objects of the President by bringing local issues to
the fore with the hope of combining all local
issues into a vote of seeming lack of confidence
in the Administration.
This is time to permit local issues to detract
from the main issue. We are still too far from
being out of the woods. We need the continued
inspired leadership of the President, and the only
way in which he maintain his prestige and
his power is for the people of the United States
and that includes Alaska, to give him an over
Wheming vote of confidence.
Alaska votes almost two months before all OF
the States except Maine which goes to the polls one
day before Alaska does. If the opponents of the
New Deal are successful here on the basis of Local
issues the rest of the country, ignorant of loca
considerations, will interpret it as reputation OF
the President and his policies That is what the
Delegate had in mind when he declared with al
the force at his command: This is the time tt

Drought and Farm Income.
New York TimeS.)

Because of the severity of the drought from
which wide sections of the country have suffer ed,
some observers have drawn the conclusion that
farm purchasing power is certain to be greatly re-
duced. The American Institute for Food DlStrlbu-
ton questions the accuracy of this opinion. In a
survey published this week it contends that despite
the drought, the total cash income of American
farmers for the year beginning June l promises
to be substantially larger than during the preceding
twelve months
Several points are cited in support of this opin-
ion. One is the influence of higher prices The
institute argues that aggregate advances in the
value of all foods should than balance the loss
from reduced production. Moreover many farmers
who have crops to sell will nevertheless be paid
for part of what they might have raised. Their
curtailment contracts with AAA were made on the
basis of past average of production rather than Of
current yields, and they will receive from the Gov
eminent the amounts originally due them even
though their entire crops may be burned up.
Another point is the geography of the drought.
One of the correspondents sent by The Times to
survey conditions called attention in recent dis
patch to the fact that the greater part of the
affected is thiny populated land The present
survey notes this point. 1t estimates that the
population of the two drought areas-one in the
Northwest and the other in the Central South-is
100000 This is about II per cent of our entire
farm population. Much the greater portion of our
national farm income is produced in more thickly
populated areas.
These facts obviously do not warrant dismissal
of the drought as unimportant. Nor do they offer
basis on which it's costs may be accurately
estimated. But they help to correct the entirely
pessimistic conclusion that the bulk of farm
purchasing power has been wiped out.

THE PASSING OF FOREIGN TRADE.

1t is generally admitted that the restoration OF
normal business conditions depends in part upon
freer movement of goods in international trade.
This thesis has been laid down time and time
again during the years of depression, yet the chief
commercial countries of the world have meanwhile
multiplied the restrictions on their import trade
France now proposes an increase. of four per cent
in her customs duties and Germany has prohibited
the use of copper and nickel for the manufacture
of household goods electric wiring and building
accessories. The trend toward restriction of inter-
national trade gives point to the assertion OF a
German economist that the trade restrictions OF the
past few years have permanently altered the econ
omic structure of the world and that there can
be no return to the former free exchange of goods

 DeniaI-G Government Wants Revenge

Moscow (UP)-A call to the worlds workers to protest the im- prisonment of Matthias Rakoczi in Hungary was made in a public statement by George Dimitroff, central figure of the Reichstag fire trial in Berlin.
 Dimitroff, who has been living here since he left Germany by airplane last winter, charged un- named Hungarian officials with an intention to murder" the former Hungarian assistant commerce minister, now in prison.
 Rakoczi, well-known Commit mist, once was secretary general of the Comintern, or international revolutionary movement. He was imprisoned in 1925.
 T am deeply interested in the fate of Matthias RakocZi," Diml- troff said, mot only because we think alike politically, but also be- cause, he Is a good personal friend of mine. I cannot express my in- dignation sharply enoughs that this political leader is still being kept in prison on senseless pretexts after he had already served an in- credible prison sentence for his po- litical activity in Hungary 15 years ago. That is not even what we call legal murder" It Is simply assassination of the political op- ponent.
