ROAD PROGRAM BRIGHTENs PICTuRE.

Initial funds fer road work in Alaska, some $42600O for the AnchorageAIatanuska road and work within the Matanuska project itself have already been allocated and indications now from the National Capital that the Territory is to share to
 much larger degree for its larger road and airport program under the new public work relief setup Just how much of the approximately seven million dollars requested for carrying on this undertaking under the Alaska Road Commission will be granted has not been definitely fixed but it appears that sizeable portion if not all the funds asked will be allotted
 Though late in the season as it s the anticipated program once gotten under way will take up vir- tualy all the slack in unemployment in the Terri tory and will tend to offset the curbing of the program which had been outlined by the Forest Service. The latter also had planned to carry on large amount of work from PWA funds but the prospect Of it's getting much of allotment is not so bright, word coming from Washington that only fifteen million is to be set aside for all the Forest Service work throughout the country From this three million will be used for land acquisition The rest viI be spread over the 4S States and Alaska, indicating that the Territory's share on basis Of population will not be large.
 However, the road program can and probably will be the outstanding public works undertaking this summer. This plan when and if the money is made available includes the Fairbanks Canadian line section of the International Highway, well ether badly needed roads in the Interior One Of the proposed projects under this program. teo is a vast airport development scheme for the Territory and this is perhaps the most important of all Being a land Of distances, the arpane is the best and . fastest means of transportation in the North The need for more and arports and emergency landing fields within the Territory is ever evident and if appreciable part of this work be done bie af ,aet bv Tit,0 all such public work is scheduled to be completed it will be of the greatest boosts Alaska can possibly have
 It is estimated now that about 5000 men are available in the Territory to carry on the work which means the relief rolls will he virtually cleared if this program can be gotten underway at once Alaska may not get all it asked from the four billion works relief but if it gets major part of it's road request the outlook will be mighty bright for this summer, counteractng some of our darker industrial spots.

 Like 50 many greats" the Bambino didn't want o quit last fall when his last playing days with the New York Yankee were over. But he was insistent hat no club could have his services unless he was offered an executive position well as a playing lerth
 l. 50 happened that the Boston Braves Of the National League were badly in need of some bosterlng strength to tinkle a smarter tune at the box office Therefore, the home-run king accepted three-year contract at $25000 year from Pres- dent Emil Fuchs Of the Braves.
 But the Babes presence notwithstanding the Braves have been noundering around in the cellar this spring Baseball fans, it seems will not turn out in large numbers to witness loser
 The upshot was that the expensive Babe drew his unconditional release this President Fuchs said Ruth was an "imbece'; Manager McKechne said the Bambino had hurt the Braves team spirit; the Babe said there wasn't a bit of truth in those two statements and that the Braves just couldn't afford to keep him.
 However, regardless of all those contrary state mcnts, the baseball fans, who, during more than two decades of competition, have made Ruth the worlds most popular sports figure, says it is q sorry ending to that great career. No matter who may be at fault diamond lovers regret that The Babe" that great symbol of American sportsdom, is bidding adieu in this fashion.

Composed in Victory.
(New York Times.0

After the extraordinary support which President Roosevelt received in the elections of 1884 no jubiant word came from him. Other Democrats re joiced with exceeding joy but there is no record to show that MT. Roosevelt expressed himself pub to say about his great success last week in being upheld by the Senate in his veto of the bonus, and in securing new and wide recognition of his courage in meeting a crisis and of his exceptional ability in presenting powerful and moving argument This quiet in the hour of victory together with the Presidents complete ignoring of noisy enemies is one of his finest traits. Senator Long beloved against MT. Roosevelt for days and Father Coughlin issued orders to the President to sign the Bonus Bill But of neither did the Chief Executive ever speak He seems to have taken his motto, The noblest answer to all such is perfect silence when they brawl"
 This is not bit Of political cleverness, though
 in ways it has the effect of being. Nor is it superficial CT improvised characteristic The thing must go deep into life and experience Composure in difficulty exciting circumstances is not easily acquired Long habit and philosophic temper lie behind it. It seems also to be valuable asset for busy executive He cannot stop to receive con- ggatulations or to express his own happiness when there are 90 many things to be done It is quail ity often in great military commanders. They waste no time in boastng of victory when it is lheir duty to prepare for another battle Mir Roose- welt must be thinking of the struggles ahead of him All the satisfying then, is it that he is able I to maintain his camness and pose when he ceeds as well as when his efforts meet with par tial failure.

Roses planted in beds or masses provide a decorative effect during a long season. The Baby Ramblers; some of the harder, free-blooming hybrid teas and Chinas; Rugosas and their hybrids; and many of the bush Noisettes make excellent bed roses and the varieties in these groups are numerous. They should be planted 2 feet apart, fed liber- ally and pruned moderately but reg ularly.
