PERSONALITIES
RY Nellie Dodsnn

By Nellie DOdsOn
Beginning of winter quarter finds
the cullud attendance at the Uni
versity see-sawing as per usual.
JACK HARPOLE and MURIEL
WELLINGTON are back after long
absences. Jack has returned to get
his degree after scooting off to a
coaching job at West Virginia State
College last year. So far he has
spent most of his time greeting and
being greeted by the football boys.
L. SMITH, II. LANDERS, and A.
NORTH haven't put in an appear
ance as yet, but the first two are
graduates and don't necessarily
have to register until later on in
the month. A. ALSBROOK will
stay out this quarter, and give all
his attention to being one of ROCK
GAM swell crew of musicians.
EARNEST SIMMS went home
to st. Louis for the holidays, and
came back for beginning Of winter
quarter classes m Jus TEN
POUNDS. Too many parties and
not enough sleep, m'lad.
What Clark Gable, who has two
gel friends, found it convenient to
tell one of 'em he was "out of
town" during the holidays? My
goodness, that's quite a daring
thing to do, don't you think?
/ hear that the play, "Old
Crusty," which was recently pre-
scented at Norway Hall, will be re-
peated in the near future at the
Y. w. C. A., and the Veterans hos
pital. It seems that it is too bad
that the play hasn't been presented
at Phyllis Wheatley. The Wheat
ley Players have really done a fine
piece of work with it, and should
be congratulated.
LAWNEY THOMPSON and Ed
MONA PERRY, for those of you
who don't already know, have de-
cided to ankle to the altar in the
not-too-distant future. Good luck,
And one Carlo was the fly in
the soup of TWO rival femmes all
during the holidays. She snatched
boy friends right and left, while
the other two sat back and fumed
all over the place. When one
woman can cause all that trouble,
there's sumthin' wrong SOME
PLACE! A couple of other gels
who haven't been talking to her up
until recently, now are being very
nice. Whatsa'matter gels, afraid
she'll start on your sweetie-pie's ?
At the DIPLOMAT paw-ty, one
lad who is usually the most timid
of very timid people, quite sudden
ly became feroeious. And all be-
cause the former honey gave him
the cold shoulder. It's really amaz-
ing what fire the dying embers of
love can kick up, Ell?
Be Seem you, next week!

Carnival Night will be featured this evening when the new members of the Juneau Woman's Club en- certain the older members of the organization at the Lutheran Church parlors, at the clubs regu- lar monthly social meeting.

WASHINGTON, April "A. - Ad- miral Byrd's return from his South Polar explorations again may raise conflicting claims to possession of newly discovered land in Antarctica -"the coldest, most desolate and most terribly windswept land mass in the world"
 Byrd's land discoveries on his first expedition in the vicinity of Ross Sea and the Ross Ice Shelf have been expanded greatly during the second expedition.
 The Virginia admiral has claimed definitely large area known as Marie Byrd Land for the United States. The United States govern ment, although retaining full rights to advance its claims at future date, never has made formal claim of the ice-bound territories.
 Believed To Have Claim
 The United States has, officials believe, a valid claim on number of snow-swept areas, land and wa ter, if it cares to assert them and indulge in diplomatic controversy

MERCHANDISE
 SALES BETTER
Business Increases in Rural
 Districts, Small Towns

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Sales of general merchandise in small towns and rural areas for March, 1885, were about 22 per cent higher in dollar volume than for March, 1884, and were 105 per cent above March 1883, when the lowest ponit during the past six years was reached. These changes were re- vealed by preliminary estimates just released by the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce, based on rural chain store and mail order sales.
 Daily average sales for March in- creased about 10 per cent from Feb ruary. or considerably more than the estimated seasonal amount. The seascnally adjusted index for March was 97la per cent of the 1929-3l monthly average compared with 90lA in February.
 Total sales for the first three months of 1895 were 15 per cent higher than for the same period of 1884.
 The figures are all computed on a daily average oasis which makes allowance not only for the vary ing number of business days from month to mnnth blIt also for the varying sales importance of the diff ferent days of the week. In addi- tion, the seasonally adjusted index makes allowance for usual seasonal changes from month to month as observed during the past several years. No allowance was made for the changing date of Easter. The index is constructed from figures furnished by three large mail order companies for sales by mail only, and by large group of chain units operating in small towns and cities of the agricultural regions of the country Only those chain units are included which have been in continuous operation during the period covered. The total sales of the sample represent about one-fifth of all general mer- chandise sales in places of less than 30000 population.

Britain as a portion of it's Austra- lian Antarctic territory, was dis covered by the daring American naval officer, Captain .Charle s Wilkes, in 184O. While the United States, not recognizing the segment claims, probably would not claim Ia slice of icy pie" taking in all territory, it might consider a roughly outlined area definitely discovered and explored by Wilkes, as American territory.
 Palmer's Explorations
 An American claim to Wilkes Land would encompass what are designated on the map as King George V Land. Banzare Land, Sa- bripa Land, and Queen Mary Land. Adelie Land. within the same arc, is claimed as French territory, hay ing been discovered in the same year-1840--by the only French ves- sel that entered the Antarctic area in many years.

NEW YORK. Sept. II. - The 81
lent masses will as usual. decide the
presidential election.
And something is occurring that
has begun 70 worry the more
thoughtful among the republicans.
Wages have been slashed, hours
have been heightened, fingers have
been snapped at collective bargain
ing isnce the downfall OF NRA. And
the employers who have done that
have been. chiefly. on the republican
side.
Not only that, President Roosevelt
and his aides r calling attention
increasingly to the shortening wages
and the frightening hours.
If the present trend continues into
next year, the election may well be
lost by the republicans prior to the
opening OF the actual campaign.
Most Potent Line
Critics believe the most lasting"
paragraph In President Roosevelt's
defense and summary Of his admin
istration, in a letter TO Roy Howard,
newspaper publisher. was this.
Congress declined TO broaden the
tax base because II was recognized
that the tax base had already been
broadened to a very considerable ex-
tent curing the past five years . . 4.
The broadening Of our tax base in
the past few years has been very
real. What Is known as consumers
taxes, namely, the invisible taxes
paid BY people in every walk OF life,
fall relatively much more heavily on
the poor man than on the rich man.
I'm 1929 consumers taxes repre-
sented only 80 per cent Of the ma
tional revenue. Today they are so
per cent, and wen with the passage
OF the recent revenue bill the pro-
portion OF those consumers taxes
will drop only 5 per cent"
In brief. sales taxes in various
states on food and clothing have
raised such antagonism that no po-
litical party which desires to escape
alive will dare to add to the taxes Of
the masses.

Very Bad Timing

TTNHAT is no great compliment to the lottery de-
- partment, for The department has been one
of the worst teaches from which Spain suffered
in the course OF her many Affections Not that the
common soldiers let her down either 1t is the high
command which devised the disasters All the soldiers
were guilty of dying heroically-and 10000 of
them, an entire division, died in Morocco in one
day in 1921, when the king whose coat Of they
wore on their belt buckles and cap device, living
the life of Senior Reilly in Deauville France That
was very bad timing the part of King Alfonso.
There was sharp break in popular sentiment
toward the man who had been known the most
popular monarch in the world.
This takes US a long way from the celebrated
Afare Strauss, but to cut back to the incident of
the unhappy Mexican gambling your
spondent finds that he is only of those
specimens in the gambling business hard loser.
Several years ago in Florida, American gambling
men paid their inducements honestly sending money
down to Miami in cash early in the fall only to dis
cover On their arrival in town just before Christmas
that reform had reared its ugly head and that they
would not be allowed to operate their games of skill.
To their honor and to the eternal shame of Senior
Strauss OF Mexico they did not write any letters Of
protest but merely hoped for better luck year.
Senior Strauss, however, always will be known in
Spain as a Strauss" who "Straperoed' by
some Shrewd Spanish "Straperloeadors.'
