The Nome daily nugget., 1935-07-29

The Delegate has introduced a bill to authorize the use of funds coll ected for services of the Washing ton-Alaska Military Cable and Tele- graph System, and for other purpos- es. It is believed that the enactment of this legislation will greatly stren- gthen the position of the System in Alaska and remove the causes that make it's future uncertain at period ic intervals, by showing that the system is not the expense to the ar my that the figures would indicate.
 The System has always been op- erated on a basis whereby the eX- pense was covered by appropriations made to the Army for that purpose and the revenues were credited in- to the Treasury without being shown as credit or deduction from the operating expense. Thus, in year when the expense of operation would be approximately half million dol ars and the revenues would amount to approximately one-fourth million dollars, which was recovered by the Treasury, the report would show the gross expense as the cost of the Sys- tenn to the Government, making no allowance for the fact that half the amount was returned. Nor would credit show for the service given free by the system to the various government agencies which would

try to emulate his stunt.
This is proper time to remind drivers

opening and closing hours. Careful driv-

ENGLAND REPLACES ETHIOPIA

Ethiopia is in danger of being pushed
completely into the background in this
paper war that is raging through Eur
ope.
From an Italian-Ethiopiau scrap as II
started, it is developing into an Italian
English brawl and this combination
seems to have the ability to produce
real war
In no uncertain terms England told
Italy yesterday that the latter's course
toward Ethiopia is all wrong. John Bull
nc only stated he would stand by the
League Of Nations belief that an unpro-
Voked war should be met with the oppos-
ition of all nations, but called on all
members Of the league to live up to the
belief
Less than "a hours has elapsed as this
is written-a period of time entirely too
short to permit Mussolini to throw off
steam sufficiently to sci about the bus
mess of answering England. Partial an
sWer, through one of his delegates. has
been made. In effect the delegate said.
"MussOlini will answer and he will an
swer plenty"
The delegate was extremely mad al
most as mad as Il Duce could get. He
compared Sir Samuel Hoare. British for
eign minister who stated England'S pos
ition, to Huey Long, asserting the Eng
lish diplomat was the successor to the
"kingfish" and his share-the-wealth pro-
gram. Mussolinis reply when It comes,
is expected to be even more vehement, II
Duce having particularly extensive vo-
cabulary when he wants TO tell anyone
what he thinks.
The English, while not so dramatic,
can match Mussolini word for word, and
if he chooses to get beyond words, past
events indicate they can accommodate
him.

tomatoes. I'd forgotten that
planted beans. And how large the
vines have grown! There must be
a lot Of beans on them. I'll pick
some beans for Nurse Jane as well
as tomatoes. I like beans"
So, having filled his basket half
full Of tomatoes for ketchup and
chill sauce, Uncle Wiggily started
to pick the beans. They were long,
green string beans and, in case you

strings are part of the bean itself
and must be taken off before the
beans are eaten. The strings are
part of the bean skin and are
strong and tough like a piece Of

Enter, the Fox
While Uncle Wiggily was picking
his beans and putting them in the
basket with the tomatoes, into the
garden sneaked the Fox.
"Ah, ha!' whispered the Bad

gentleman politely. III see about

most as long as a jumping rope.
Quickly Uncle Wiggily pulled the
strong string off the green bean
and, before the Fox could help
himself. the rabbit had wound and
tangled the bean string around the
Bad Chap SO he couldn't move, run,
bite or scratch. He was caught
and tied up
Now, then, Mr.. Fox, said Uncle
Wiggily, 7 have you instead of you
having me And here you'll stay
until I send for the Police Dog!"
The FOX hoWled and yowled and
begged to be let go. but the rabbit
left him tied there by the bean

MOTORISTS AND SCHOOLS

Much has been written about the reck-
less and careless driver, and with good
reason.
There is considerable to be said, how
ever about good drivers and those who
try to observe the laws while operating
automobiles.
Nothing is more terrifying to those
who wish to do right than to believe they
have seriously injured somebody else
1t is for this reason that the action of a
local youth in placing dummy on the
street and soaring motorists with it, is
particularly reprehensible 1t must, of
course, be forgiven as a boyish prank,
and some of US who scold over it could
possibly recall other things in our own
youth just as reprehensible and just as
terrifying to those upon whom it was in
flicted

Probably if Hopkins had thought
to wear a vest to his press confer

After his conference, Hopkins was

On the pocket Of Hopkins shirt,

Opium Traffic In
China UprOOted By
Many Executions

SHANGHAI Sept. y. URJ-Six
hundred and fifty-five persons have
been put to death in the past three
years in a single province of China
for the manufacture or sale Of mar
cotic drugs.
Death TO the makers and dealers
Of drugs" watchWord Of Chinese
government authorities in their un-
renting war against opium, has
been no idle slogan in Shansi pro
vince, where real progress in the
eradication Of the evil is reported.
Opium and other narcotic drugs
valued at approximately S5OO,0OO
have been confIscated in the three
year period, and 655 manufactur-
ers and tratfickers have been exc
cuted by firing squads.
Although in harmony with the
the policy outlined by the Central
government at Nanking. attempts
are being made 10 cure rather than
to punish users Of drugs, but no
consideration is given the vendors.
Those caught making or dispens-
ing opium or its derivatives are
promptly sentenced and executed.
The drastic program has had its
effect. and Shansi, once the most
Crug-ridden Of the provinces, today
is nearly free of the trade.
Preventive measure have received
much attention by the provincial
authorities, and thousands Of poppy
fields have been destroyed. Educa-
tionaI measures have been aided by
extensive financial grants.
For those already afflicted, regis
tration with the provincial authorl-
ties is compulsory. Last year the
smokers numbered 224,717. The ma
jority are expected TO be cured BY
rigorous treatment within five years.

composing by pacific means the
differences that have arisen be-
tween Italy and Ethiopia. I wish
to voice the hope Of the people

Thereafter, during the month Of
August expression of this hope Of
the people and Government OF the

in kilograms from the American
Government to several other gov
ernments.
On September 3, having discov-
cred that an American corpora

commercial concession, the con-
clusion of which had added to the
perplexities and difficulties con-
fronting the governments and other
agencies which are intent upon
preservation of peace, the Amer
ican Government took prompt steps
toward removal of this obstacle to
peaceful settlement. In connection
with that matter, the Secretary
said at his press conference:
