Annual Penny Drive fol Children's Hospital to
 Be Started Soon

For the second successive year Juneau will take an active part in the Children's Orthopedic Hospital Penny Drive this spring and at tempt to raise it's quota above the amount contributed last year which was more than two hundred dol lars.
 Through the Penny Drive which was first organized four years ago l1,l63-54 was raised in 1894 for this splendid charity which cares for many crippled Alaska children Since 1919 the Hospital has cared for twenty-nine children from Ju- neau, two from Douglas and one hundred and fifty-seven from the whole Territory.
 Mrs. J. F. Mullen, Juneau chair man of the drive will name work CTS within few days and Penny Drive Banks will be distributed Throughout the town to be collect ed at the end of the drive. Contri- buttons, however small, will be well come and will go to swell the fund needed to support this charitable institution.
 The Penny Drive is a means of giving support to the hospital by many people who are sincerely eag- CT to help our organization, but feel that their few cents would be too meager an amount to contrib ute outright. By leaving a Penny bank with them, their donations, no matter how small, are collected in the envelope" wrote Mrs. G. w. Skinner, of Seattle who has been general chairman of the drive for the last two years.
 .In the early part of 1892, when a Penny Drive was first suggested, little did we think that in a few years time it would be so whole heartedly accepted by the people of Seattle, the State of Washington and Alaska. Today we truly be- lieve that Penny Drive means The Children's Orthopedic Hospital to everyone whom we approach" Mrs Skinner wrote.

guesses of the insiders are divided on such important subjects as the bonus and imitation. It is difficult to recall any previous time when the fate of so large number of m jor legislative proposals was hanging in the balance.
 Storms Gathering?
 Add to this the unsettled effect of inconclusive litigation over the new deal projects, the manifest in- stability of popular opinion, and the constant conflict in reports as to the actual status of the curve, of business recovery, and it will be apparent why Washington is con- fused.
 The air has about it the feel of gathering storms, whose magnitude no one can gauge with precision.

This means a steady stream OF
cash, for each couple leaves an aver

the license.
Then, there are other items such
as taxicab fare to and from the

nation for the minister, perhaps a
wedding ring, hotel fare, wedding
breakfast, luncheon or dinner, as the
case may be, and other miscellaneous

While no charge is ever made the
report is that the gift" to the "par-
son" runs generally around $40
The taxicab fee, if the couple does
not arrive in his own machine, is So.
Other items vary.
An idea of the booming" nature
of the Cupid's activities here may
be gained from the fact only 305

In February, $50 couples were Ii

How it helps us, on our journey.
To know our name is there.
Have you now this blessed assurance
OF His presence every day?
DO you know that God is with you
AS you travel on your way?
Are you walking in the footsteps
OF the Saviour, Lord and King?
Do you honor and obey Him,
And Gods praises always sing?
When Life's journey here is over,
Will your task for Him be done
Your name be written yonder,
The Crown of Life be won?
How fast the sands are running
In the hour glass of time.
DO you know your name is written,
am His and He is mine?
At Home with God in Glory,
Around the Great White Throne
MY humble name is written,
Soon He'll come-to claim His own,

ONLY WAITING
Evangelist John Moses Baker

Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown.
Every moment brings us nearer
To that land of Home, Sweet
Home.
Sometimes the songs of Heaven
Seem to echo in our soul,
When angel fingers touch their
harps,-
Those harps of purest gold.
Sweetest music coming down to us
From glory up above.
The Heavenly Choir singing songs
OF Jesus and His love.
Some day to join the choir.
In that land of endless day,
Where comes no sorrow, pain or
death:
All tears are wiped away.

CAPACITY PRODUCTION or
CHEVROLETs

Capacity production of the recently
announced new 1886 Chevrolets
throughout the rest of the year is
forecast from dealers all over the
country, to the effect that sales ON
announcement day, Nov. 2, broke all
records in Chevrolet history.
The same enthusiastic public re-
Spouse was evident at the New York
Automobile Show, according to word
received in Detroit from w. E. Hol-
Ter, vice president and general sales
manager of the Chevrolet Motor Co.,
who with other executives of the
company is attending the annual ex-
hibit there. Chevrolet is displaying
its new product both inc Grand Cen
trail Palace and at special General
Motors showing in the Waldorf
Astoria
Output will have to be maintain
ed around 100000 units month to
keep pace with the demand thai Is
evident" said Mr.. Holler. 1--WE had
more than 10000 cars in the hands
of our 10000 dealers on announce
ment day, but orders taken so far
have greatly exceeded the supply.
We shall be able to make prompt de-
liveries, however, for we were in full
production before the cars were an
nounced, and they are rolling off the
assembly lines at faster rate than
ever before at this season."
In the Master deluxe line, the re-
styling of the body with its new
streamlined front end treatment, and
the perfected hydraulic brakes, seem
to have created the liveliest enthusi-
asm among dealers and public alike,
Mr.. Holler reported. In the Stand
ard series, a completely re-styled
Fisher body with solid steel turret
top seems to have captured the public
fancy more completely than any
other thing. The fact that full
line of body styles is now available
in this lowest price range is also
making hit.
"The statement that we are de-
lighted at the outlook requires no
qualification, said Mr.. Holler.
Viewed from any angle, the stu
alton is highly promising. We in
troduced these new cars in. 4he con-
viction that they were the finest we
had ever offered. Now we have the
satisfaction of learning that; the
public takes the same view.''

THE DREAMER AND THE DREAM
BY Una Clingan Rands

"Only a dreamer" the neighbors
said,
With doleful sigh and a shake Of
the head
But he kept the path that is true and
right,
For his Dream kept the Goal forever
in sight.
All. Lad, with the far-away look in
your eyes,
You may see more than the old and
wise.
Only dream that is brave and sweet.
But it helps us conquer the fears we
meet.
1t lightens the hour that dark and
gray;
1t give us hope through a weary day.
Dream on! If the dream brings
strength to you.
The dreaming may help the dream
come true.

ELKTON'S COMMERCIALIZED
MARRIAGE MART
Placed On Business Basis Cupid
Brings Home The Bacon

A dispatch from Elkton to the
Wilmington Evening Journal has the
following to say concerning the much
publicized marriage business at
Cecil's county seat:
Marriage may be sweet romance
for the nervous young couple having
the knot tied but it's big business
for this town of $500 population.
Long a Gretna Green for the thick
" populated East, Elkton is now be-
ing enriched at the rate of more than
100000 year by its marriage
business.
The stream of couples from New
York, Philadelphia and other dis
tricts where marriage laws are strict
or than Maryland's is increasing
At the present rate, $4,000 persons
nearly six times the population OF
the town-will have taken their
vows here this year.
The enactment of stricter law in
nearby Pennsylvania has proved one
stimulating influence. Then, a con-
stantly growing number OF persons
is drawn by the glamour of Elkton's
name as a Gretna Green with its
marrying parsons" ready az any
hour license can be obtained from
the county clerk of court.
Maryland marriage laws are leni-
emit, no advance notice is required
and the permit can be obtained with
little difficulty.
All records were broken in August
when 778 licenses were issued. The
month just ended lacked only one of
that mark September dropped
down to 634-due to agitation
against the allegedly commercial
aspects of the activity of the mar
rying parsons, resulting in a ban
against their big sign-boards within
the town limits advertising minister
and marriage license"
The total for October was nearly
double thes4s5 for last; year.

Noted Editorial Writer Whose Col
umn, "This Week." Appears Reg
ularly in This Paper.
This column is just what the
name implies presentation of
thoughts inspired by the latest hap
penings and trends throughout the
world, and more particularly in the
United States. Mr.. Brisbane is in
tensely American and this is re-
fected in his comment on current
events. He expresses his own opip-
ions bluntly and they are recognized
by newspaper readers everywhere
as being his own opinions and not
necessarily those of this paper and
others for which he writes.
Mr.. Brisbane is known univer-
sally for the originality that marks
all of his comments, for his wide
knowledge of great variety of
subjects and for the simple but
pungent style in which he writes.
He has an unequaled facility for
simplifying complex subjects and
making them thoroughly under
standable.
Mr.. Brisbane was born in Buff
falo, N. Y, in 1864. His early edu-
cation included five years of study
in France and Germany. This, to-
gether with his omnivorous read
ing, stored his mind with wealth
of information upon which he draws
constantly in his editorial writing.
He entered newspaper work as a
reporter on the New York Sun in
1883 and later became London cor
respondent and finally editor of the
Evening Sun. After several years
as managing editor of the New
York World he became editor of
the New York Journal, remaining
that position for "a years.
Undoubtedly you are a regular
oader of Mr.. Brisbane's column
and are finding it entertaining as
yell as full of valuable informa-
lion. Your friends, if they are not
low reading it, will appreciate your
.alling their attention to the fact
nat this most brilliant of all Amer
IAN editorial writers is now
.egular contributor to this paper.
