Capital Capers
BIZ GEORGE ABELL

. ED roses, strawberry shortcake adorned with
IN little American and Japanese flags, white
fannelS and jokes in dialect by senators and
featured the luncheon given by State Secretary
Hull for Japanese Prince Konoye.
Host Hull was in fine humor. His Tennessee
drawl could be heard distinctly during lulls in
the conversation. He did most of the talking
at his end of the table, since Konoye said hardly
anything.
The prince is afraid as yet to speak English at
length. He sat, while-fanneled and mute, while
japanese Ambassador Saito conversed with his
host.
THE gay end of the table was that where
Il eloquent Senator Tom Connally and Repre-
sentative Sam Rayburn of Texas whooped mer-
rily over jokes of the Lone Star state.
Did I tell you the one about :. ?" came
Senator Connally's resonant voice.
After an interval, gales of laughter followed.
THAT reminds me-" Sam Rayburn would
chime in and, in due course, second roar was
heard.
John Dickinson assistant commerce secretary
(put in excellent mood by the sight of miniature
lighthouses on the desert) then told of few
good ones in dialect. The hilarity that ensued
was so loud that Ambassador Saito glanced
down from his end of the table.
Mr.. Keinosuke Fujii, the Japanese counsellor
was much puzzled by some of the American
idioms and slang catchwords. But his diplomacy
equaled the test.
Very funny a most clever story" smiled
poor Mr. Fujii, after great storm of laughter
from his neighbors.
He tactfully showed his white teeth.
THE sultan of Johore-who rules an indie
Il pendent state on the Malay peninsula
recently had tea with President and Mrs
Roosevelt at the White House. The sultana of
Johore accompanied her husband.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambassador
also came along-in case his highness needed
any advice. The British government has been
advising Johore since 1914.
The sultan is an educated, cultured man who
replied in excellent Oxonian English to the
Presidents interested queries The sultana, in
cidentally is an English woman.
Throughout the east the sultan of Johore is
noted for two things-as great sportsman Che
shoots tigers and as one of the wealthiest men
in Asia A state department official who knows
him said
He has more money than Henry Ford ever
dreamed of. The amount of his jewels, gold and
other treasure is almost fabulous. He ranks next
to the gaekwar of Baroda in wealth"
On gala occasions, his highness dresses in
magnificent native costume ornamented with
precious stones. But he dressed in simple
European clothes-without formality.

So much remains when love is dead.
The romance fingers.
The little words you always said,
Your clinging fingers.
The little walks we always took
I still remember.
The pale rosebuds you brought to
me
In cold December.
Although could not love you now
This much remains with me:
The lovely beauty of your smile,
Our farewell kiss to ecstasy.

THE COST OF BREAD

TN rejecting the bakers code the national
baking council complains that bakers are
paying millions for the farmers benefit in
processing taxes without being able to collect
increased labor and commodity costs from
consumers
This statement is untrue and unfair, says
DR.. Frederic C. Howe, AAA consumers coun-
sell From what facts he can gather DR.. Howe
finds that on May % consumers were paying
142 cents more for pound loaf of white bread
than they paid in the year ending June 80,
1888 The cost of ingredients going into
pound loaf increased in that time only .87
cents. This leaves half-cent for each loaf
with which to pay increases in labor and
other costs.
The trade is not paying farmer benefits
out Of its pocket. 1T is fair neither to the
bakery workers nor to consumers, who have
been paying higher price for bread since last
July. to give this impression" says DR.. Howe.

Saving Niagara.
(NeW York Times.)

Geologsts haruiy needed the lesson in erosion that Niagara gave when 15,000 tons of rock slipped
 from the lip of the Horseshoe Falls and crashed into the gorge below. In it's manner Of self-destrucuon Niagara is freak Ordinarily sand and gravel in swift stream away rocks. But the lake water that pours over the escarpment at Niagara is sngularly clear It is the geological formation that accounts for sudden crumbings of the kind that occurred at the American Falls in 1881 and now at the Horseshoe Falls. The stream flows over lcornice of hard doomite below which lies soft shae As it pours the cornce the water wears away the softer underlying shale Left without support the hard top layer of dolomite breaks of it's own weight. It takes centuries to bring about huge collapse. Since 1843 the Falls have been receding at the rate of less than four feet a year It will take until 23053 to down the sixteen miles of ! rock still remaining between the Falls and Lake Erie
 Measuring as this may be. there is denying that the magnificence of Niagara spectacle might be impaired Is there no way of preventing the process of destruction? Special International Niagara Board studied the question years ago. It recommended construction of submerged de flecting weirs, together with excavation to divert some of the flow from the central channel to the sides thus correcting the thnness of the American Falls and providing water for the Hanks of the Horseshoe
 1 Consulting engineers not of opinion on the merit of this plan. The board therefore suggested diversion test. The power companies were to be permitted to construct the works and to withdraw temporarily 10000 second-feet each side of the river whereupon the Canadian and Ameican Governments were to judge the effect. Only then was policy of permanent withdrawal to be considered Niagara convention embodying this proposal approved by the Canadian Par lament, but rejected by the Foreign Relations Committee of our Senate on the ground that the power interests would profit too greatly, and that the United States should build it's engineering works rather than leave them to private com Ipanies.
 T No other plan has been put forth technically sound as that of the Special Board Every con- ceivable safeguard incorporated in the conven- Ition to pevent the marring of spectacle that thrills millions every years and to curb the ruth lessness of natural forces With 15000 tons of rock lying at the foot of the Horseshoe to remind both the Canadian and American Governments that the Niagara Falls are not ndestructble, the time seems ito have agreement on the method of carrying out proposal which is technically the most sensible thus far submitted

Wet States Rights.
(New York Herald Tribune


 A situation calculated to make the thoughtful pause (and one sometimes wonders whether the thoughtful in these troublous days must not spend their entire time in a state of suspended anima- tion) appears to have arisen along the border between the Old Dominion and the Tar Heel State It seems that the Virginia police have begun a campaign of e-inspection against North Carolina and other trucks entering their territory In a simpler age would have assumed that the Virginia police had been reading New York news papers and let it go at that Alas nothing today is simple. North Carolina editors have charged that this campaign is really directed not against the brakes but the cargoes of the trucks; it is new form of espionage" designed to protect the Virginia liquor monopoly against the freeborn dstiller of Tar Heel corn whiskey. For does not North Caro- lina-ast pillar of Prohibition and unyelding de- fender of the Eighteenth Amendment-"make sell and drink the cheapest but the best liolor in the world?" Sss
 This allegation has caused pain in the Old Dominion. "The Lynchburg Advance" does not decry the great qualities of North Carolina moon shine; on the contrary it wants to know what bearing the Webb-Kenyon act and the guaranty in the repeal amendment against invasion by illicit liquors should have upon this situation In all of the repeal debate nothing it points out was ever said about dry States shipping their native liouor into wet States in competition with legitimate bus ness" yet here is dry State boasting that it is oong just that and regarding police interference las meddlesome infringement upon the free rights Iof trade Are not the wet States entitled to the protection of the repeal amendment quite as much as the dry ones? Rather than inviting in the Federals, however, to the defense of the Virginia borders against the excessively moist ardity of the Tar Heel, The Advance" suggests what might be la better way. Should not General Johnson take steps at once to codify the North Carolina boot leggers? Certainly, the wet States should be pro- tected from the floods descending from dry terri tory even if it takes MIRA, AAA and FACA-as well as whatever feeble aid the law and the Con- stitution may render--to do it.

COMMANDER PERKINS.

The people of Juneau, and many other Alaskans who have become acquainted with him during his tour of duty here, regret the departure from this section of Lieut. Commander H. c.

A NEW DEAL VICTORY.

The vote in Tuesdays election in Alaska can be construed in but one way. It is an honest and sincere endorsement of the Democratic Administra- tion expression of confidence in President Roose- welt and offering of continued support to the New Deal and its agencies.
 The vote in the First Division seems to be typical of that cast all over the Territory. Here there organized effort to get out big Democratic vote. Not single public political meet ing was held in the Panhandle. Not single Democratic candidate for office spoke from public platform to ask for support for himself or the party Party workers, in striking contrast to former election years confined their efforts to single day-that of the election. Only one newspaper The Empre-urged support of the Democratic ticket It voiced that appeal the ground that the Roose- welt Administration had proved itself worthy of sup port, that the Democratic ticket here was in harmony with the Presidents program and had pledged itself to support his policies, and that the G. o. P attacking the Roosevelt Administration.
 The Republican candidates made comprehensive campaign They spoke in and visited all of the larger communities and many of the smaller ones Independent candidates, also, held public meetings. All of the organized activity carried on by the opposition Despite that fact the majority cast for the Democratic candidates generally substantial This to have been true in all of the Divisions, particularly in the Third, where the Democratic strength was even stronger than in the First
 There is for astonishment in this. Per- sons familiar with the situation, those who have had the opportunity to visit in all sections of Alaska have been unanimous in agreeing that Alaskans are strongly behind the New Deal. That is as it should be- Alaska, through the Democratic organization launched Franklin D. Roosevelts quest for the Presidency It pledged it's Delegates to the 1892 Chicago Convention to vote for him for the party's Presidential nomination. Though it had no vote in the National election two years ago, it showed its approval of MT. Roosevelts campaign by a sweeping local Democratic victory. But it was no more conclusive or widespread than was that of Tuesday
 Maine Monday did the same thing in no less striking fashion With two such evidences of public appreciation of the New Deal so widely separated Maine and Alaska coming within two days, the doubting Thomases of the country ought to be con- vinced that the American people generally as strongly behind the President today as they were during his candidacy for office.

HIGH SPEED WARFARE.

The mock warfare carried on recently by the Italian army in the neghborhood of Florence has aroused widespread discussion of the technique to be anticipated the next This probably is due to the large emphasis given to tanks and armored in the Italian games On the basis of the tactical problems Italian military experts predict confidently that trench warfare is outmoded, and in the next war; will give place to rapid troop movements carried on by means of tanks and heavily armored cars with airplanes playing important though unpredictable role.
 Possibly there is some ground for optimism in the fact that fewer troops are required for tank warfare It may also be that highly idustralized countries stand to benefit by the accelerated mechan ization of warfare. One who is looking for cheerful angles might also seize upon the trend to tanks" as proof that the next war will not continue as long the last
 It is usually proved that each major war wit nesses the development of a new weapon or method of warfare, more less revolutionary in character The greatest development, it seems, comes in time of war rather than in time of peace, although the perfection of a weapon-a painstaking procedure always-sometimes awaits the more leisurey years of peace. Not until the World War was well under way was it clear that trench fighting to be the salient feature in that Homeric struggle
 The tremendous increase in precision machinery and mechanzed units failed to dsodge the infantry, which was the backbone in each army in that war. Perhaps the vastly greater use of tanks and other mechanical equipment will not take the burden from the foot soldier. At least so the French are insisting despite Mussolinis convincing case for high mobility. One might anticipate some con- servatism in French military circles. however For having spent unprecedented sum of money on the worlds most ambitious trench and dugout lines, the French are bound to express belief in the infantry and the trench,
 whateyer the character of the next war. and whatever the theories of the potentially inimical general staffs. the ayman is likely to conclude that the next is going to be increasingly destructive more devastating for civilian populations and even more disastrous for what like to call civilization

"Billee" Taylor, Julius Sternberg Art Weston and Orville Olts, formed party of successful nimrods that returned the previous evening from Young's Bay on Admiralty island with three nice deer. They had left several days before on Sternberg's launch Photo"
 M. H. Truesdell, local gun ce- lebrity, and donor of the Trdesdell medal, returned the night before from a few days shooting on the Mendenhall flats. He had secured a fine bag of ducks.
 H. L. Faulkner, former U. s. Marshal for the First Division, was admitted to the Juneau bar on Saturday, after passing most flat tering examination, with rank of 100, and said it was his inten- tion to open law offices in Juneau but that he had not yet completed arrangements and didn't know where he would be located.

 Bowen and Percell, two of Se- attle's best cabaret entertainers direct from Taits, had accepted an engagement for the Elks' carnival and were to leave Seattle the fol- lowing day. They were beine brought up at considerable expense but were such clever entertainers that the Elks believed the two weeks salary and transportation charges were well spent.
 The defeat of Germans deepens into disaster, said a headline in The Empire. The London Times passing it's article on the telegraphic correspondence and sugges tions from it's correspondent at Bor- deaux said, "The German defeat in France is fast deepening into complete disaster. The invaders are turning homeward by way of the St. Quentin and Mezieres on the Luxemburg frontier. The German forces in the Argonne and nea, Verdun are likely to be cut of from the remainder of the army in the event of which they will be able to escape, if at all, only al terrible cost.

all right then, but it won't do now:
so I'm marry for c~onvience." This
was the frank statement Of a young
woman of twenty four. A school
teacher compelled to work in service"
remarked, I'm so tired Of hard work:
| am going to hunt me a husband to
take rare of me-"
A young divorce remarked, eyes,
I'm going to try again. The first
time | was foolish enough to marry
for love, but this time I'll marry for
a living" She added. "Of course.
he is homely and I just couldn't love
2 man that looks like him, but I need
him as a meal ticket" A character
istic EXPRESSION is, IT consider it
better to marry an old man: he'll be
a fool about me and work himself to
death for me-"

marriage but the martial wrecks test
