 Was Good Salesman
 Tn 1924 Baillie left his executive post afte- IA years active editorial experience and switched to the business office, going on the road as q salesman. Within a year he became sales manager, and in 1926 general business manager. His ap- Dointment as executive vice-presi- dent in 1881 placed him in general charge of the entire organization and was followed by series of in- terviews with European statesmen one of which is particularly re- membered today because in it Franz Von Papen, then chancellor of Germany, announced that Ger many would never relax her drive to escape from the provisions of the Versailles treaty until that agreement was broken and Ger many regained her lost colonies, her right to arm. and her former position among the first class pow CTS.
 No other changes in executive personnel are contemplated.

manner as of yore and the black

he contrives his evil deeds. Likewise,
Little Nell, the heroine, Is loudly
applauded.

France Calm Before Storm

Flandin was ousted. The carry over
of wheat for 1884 was around ST.
000, 900 bushels; the 1885 crop is esti-
mated at more than $4,000, 900 BUSH
els, which means an even larger sur
plus. Theoretically, wheat prices are
francs per quinta (about $l.24 per
busheD. Premier Laval also has had
to seek further def1ation of prices to
compensate for the reduction in wages
and interest on rentes. Both Herriot
and Tardieu, charged with that task
by ex-Preimer Doumergue. gave up in
despair. Then Flandin, who succeeded
Doumergue, announced that the gov
ernment had gone far enough in ham,
mering down prices. Laval proposed
to go about debating In a different
way-by raising the ban on imports
and instituting a more generous quota
policy. The quota system was TO be
almost entirely suppressed Both in
dustry and agriculture have protested
so forcibly that indications are tariffs
will be increased and stiffened instead.
French Trade Declines.
The latest official statistics on
French imports and exports reveal in
teresting facts. Both are dropping
steadily. Imports in gold dollar
values averaged monthly in 1888,
Ss2.S3O.OO0; in 1884 they averaged
s75.290,O00; for the first four months
OF 1885 the average was $50 900 900.
The average monthly exports, again
ir gold dollars, was s60.190. 900 in
1888; in 1884 the average was $58,-
100000 and for the first four months
OF 1885 only s52,000,00O.
Although Frances tourist traffic I'M
proved greatly this year-larger num-
oers of foreign visitors entering the
country than at any time since the
depression started-the tourists were
spending practically nothing except
Tor hotel accommodations and food
In 1928 tourists spent IA 600. .00o. .00C
francs in France; in 1894, according
to the Petit Nicois, they spent only
two billions.
1t is predicted-and generally con-
ceded-that the real test for France
will come when Parliament reaSsem-
bles in October, If not before. Revolu-
tlons are seldom made in Summer in
countries where the peasants are busy
with their crops and the workers rela-
lively quiescent. Unemployment, while
growing in reality. although seasona!
demands for labor may make re-
employment apparent, has not reached
its critical stage. Public works-which
always are more extensive in good
weather - have absorbed thousands
who will find their way back into the
cities in early Autumn. The upset
international political situation-par-
ticularly vis-a-vis Germany-alSo has
served to calm the hot-heads, since
the people believe that disorder at
nome will invite an attack from
abroad.

A novel fad that is enjoying an
unusual vogue in Bermuda this Sum-
mer is submarine exploration. At the
beautiful Bermuda Government Aquar-
ium the explorer puts on his bathing
suit and pair of sneakers. An at
tendant slips a diving helmet over
the head and shoulders. A flight Of
steps leads to the bottom of Harring-
ton Sound. Here are undersea gar
dens. amazing in their wealth of ocean
plants, and myriads of fish, strange
in form and gorgeous in colors.
They're as close as ones hand-many
forms of coral, that strange forma-
ton built by insects, brain" coral
resembling human brain in ap-
pearance), tree" coral, and flexible
coral.

Pioneering the Modern Way

toes. rutabagas, radishes, lettuce, peas,
grain, strawberries and so on. These
are distributed through the commits
sary as they mature, or will be put up
for Winter use. Colonists, in word
who complain of the high cost Of liv-
ing-even in terms CT credit-have
failed to make the best OF the natural
wealth Of the country.
Many Lack Farm Training.
This is to be expected when it is
realized that only a small proportion
of the colonists are bona fide farmers.
Although their contracts with the
corporation state definitely that they
have come to Matanuska to farm,
many have other plans. Carpenters,
cabinet makers, tool and die makers,
school teachers, machinistS and truck
drivers have joined the colony in the
expectation of working at their trades.
Sometimes they have had farm expe-
rience or have been born on farms.
Sometimes not. One machiniSt said
shortly: II don't like farming. They
told me could make $l.25 an hour
as a machinist' Naturally, this man
is dissatisfied and plans to return to
the States.
The lure of gold has attracted some
OF the colonists. Said one, las soon
as I get my cabin up and my family
settled I plan to look around little
for gold"
Sickness has taken its toll in the
valley. The colonists brought measles
with them from the States. Mothers
with babies less than two weeks old
were permitted to make the arduous
journey by train and boat. False re-
ports have gone out that the colonists
are without doctor or nurse. In real
ity the situation is better than it is in
many community at home. There is
tent hospital, doctor with expert
ence in family practice and a Red
Cross nurse. AS one woman said,
Where we lived in Northern Michi-
gan it was 35 miles to a doctor" Here
the colonists not only have a compe-
tent doctor, but are within three hours
of firSt-class hospital in Anchorage
Trains run daily, and airplane service
is available in case of emergency.
Rapid Population Growth.
On its face it would seem that
medical service is adequate. Never
theleSS, many of the colonists are
anxious and dissatisfied with it. What
the sponsors of the project seemingly
overlooked when choosing vigorous
young women of hild-bearing age
we're the babies that would arrive.
Estimates of expectant mothers run
from so to more than 100.
Fear psychology is playing its part
fear of new conditions, fear of an I'M
familiar climate. Yet the climate of
the MatanuSka Valley is less severe
than that of the Northern States from
which the colonists have come.
Chiefly it is the fear of the unknown
which must have attacked every ad-
venturer into new regions. 1t perhaps
accounts for the rumors that spread
like wildfire through the camps. One
hears half a dozen versions of the
same incident during round of the
60 colonist camps at Palmer. The
colony needs town crier or a town
newspaper to set it right on many
basic facts.

Great Cast In
New Play

Jane Austen's Pride and Preju-
dice" will have its dramatic pre-
miere next Tuesday night when
Max Gordon presents Helen
Jerome'S dramatization of the i'm
mortal classic at the National
Theater. Adrianne Allen, Lucille
Watson, Colin Keith-Jo Johnson and
Helen Chandler have leading
roles in the play, which has been
directed by Robert Sinclair.
Pride and Prejudice" as Jane
Austen readers are we'll aware, is
the story Of the Bennets of
Hertfordshire, a provincial Eng
liSh family not diSSimilar to
small-town families the world
over. The chief concern of the
parents-particularly of Mrs.
Bennet-is the marriage of her
older daughters. Before the play
is ended one is wed, two are
affianced, and Mrs. Bennett has
lived to see her widest dreams
come true.
Helen Jerome has taken no
liberties with the Jane Austen
novel in her dramatization.
Darcy, Wickham, Bingley and
Mr.. Collins stride through the
play exactly as they did through
the novel. In spite of the con-
densation required in adapting
novel for the stage, Miss Jerome
has omitted no important scene
nor altered any character by a
hairs breadth.
Adrianne Allen, star Of "The
Shining Hour" appears as Eliza
beth. Lucille Watson, who scored
tremendous success two years
ago in mo More Ladies'" has
the role of Mrs. Bennett, while
Colin Keith-Johnson, the original
Stanhope of Journeys End"
appears as the proud and
naughty a Darcy, and Helen
Chandler, the beautiful motion
picture star, is Jane, the oldest
and loveliest of the Bennett
daughters.
