Senator Harry Flood Byrd, the
gentleman from Virginia, doesn't OBJ
feet to seeing himself as others see
him-not from the viewpoint Of car
soonists, anyway.
Each dav he spends in his Office
here the Senator can view what the
artists of the press have thought OF
his public career, dating back to his
term as Governor of Virginia, 1926
1890.
Taking the bad along with the good,
Byrd several years ago began collect
ing originals Of newspaper cartoons
created about his political activities.
Today the walls of his private sanctum
IN the Senate Office Building are lined
with some 80 or more of these news
paper caricatures, all carefully framed.
Though the visitor Is free to look
his fill at these works Of art, Byrd has
no inclination to point out favorites.
The collection is just whim, he indi-
Gates, not hobby. But the visitor can
imagine him chuckling privately over
the portrayal Of his triumphs, as well
rs the satirical jibes at his less pop
uIar political efforts.
Barometer of His Career.
Scarcely a complete and accurate
history of his career, these pen and
ink and charcoal sketches are, none
the less, a pretty valuable barometer
Of the current impression of the Sen
ator's public life.
For instance, the Byrd passion for
economy IN government, both for his
State of Virginia and the country at
large, have inspired newspaper artists

$4,000 Alaskan
Furs AuctiOned
Off at Seattle
Fine Pelts offered at
Highest Prices
Since 1929.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
SEATTLE, December 10.-The Es-
kimos' necessity became Park Avenues
luxury yesterday.
Twenty-Five thousand furs, mostlv
from Alaska, were offered for auction
here at the highest prices since 1929.
Trappers and dealers explained
higher prices were due to:
Fatter pocketbooks, early Winter
and the big business done by salmon
canneries in Alaska this season.
Charles Goldstein, an Alaskan sour
dough who few more than 5000 miles
over the Far North to gather his furs,
explained the salmon angles thusly:
We didn't catch many dark mink
this year because salmon canneries
at the mouth of the Yukon ran full
blast. Salmon meat makes the silky
coats of Alaskan mink.
This season good mink furs were
hard to find because their salmon diet
was small. But the ones we did
get are the finest in many years"
Sale of more than 10000 mink fea-
tured the auction. Average prices will
be posted after the auction ends
More than $500 silver fox skins were
offered at prices ranging from $50 to
$500 each. The silver fox skin was
once so extremely rare as to bring
$4,000 a pelt. Now it is the backbone
OF the fur-farming industry in the
Pacific Northwest.
One thousand sable, the last word
IN fur luxury, were offered. Sable is
d trade name for marten, a soft, silky
brown fur shading into blackish brown
on tail and legs, grayish on the head
with big orange spot sometimes on
the throat.
Other pelts for auction included
10000 muskrat, $500 wolf and various
lots Of beaver, fox and wolverine.
Each month buyers from all over
the world converge on Seattle to buy
Alaskan furs. About 80 per cent of the
furs In Alaska are sold here. Trappers,
as q rule, sell their furs through
brokers.
In the last eight years Alaska has
shipped 4,000,910 furs, worth more
than $25, 100000. Red fox led with a
total value of $4,760,217, closely fol-
lowed by mink at s4,513,s64.

 In answer to a query from the Beard of Natureepathic Examiners, the Attorney General stated, &C., curding to the finding in this weeks issue of the Connecticut Law Jour nal: Surgery is generally known as the art or practice of healing by manual operation: that branch of medical science which treats of mechanical or operative measures for healing diseases, deformities or injuries. It would seem to me that one attempting to remove super flnous hair through the medium ot Electricity or electrolysis is practic- Ing surgery, and that such person should not be permitted so to do unless he has qualified and has been licensed to practice medicine or surgery"
 Continuing in his finding he states that because of use of elec- trical apparatus of all types and its potency to do injury unless properly used, persons should not be allowed to practice its use, unless trained in the branches of healing arts such as anatomy, physiology, histology, psychology, chemistry, hygiene, public health, dietetics. inrisprudence, natureopathic pa th0l0gy, diagnosis and theory and practice of natureopathic therapeu- tics.

LITCHFIELD MAN
 SUIT DEPENDENT
A. J. Serkey Sued for s. 900 By Ralph Stewart
 and Lester Ahearn

A 5000 suit for damages, naming A. J. Serkey of Litchflield, defen- dant, was brought in common pleas court here this morning by Ralph Stewart and Lester Ahearn of this city.
 The plaintiffs claim they entered into specific contract with the defendant, whereby he agreed to sell them scrap iron from old au- tos on his place of business, for $2 per gross ton, provided they dis membered the cars. After dismeni- bering 300 tons, they removed 50 of the tons and paid Serkey $160 on account.
 Stewart and Ahearn claim that Serkey then sold the remaining 250 tons of scrap for his own benefit, without their consent. They claim they performed all parts of their contract, and Serkey, by disposing of the scrap metal, which they had dismembered, caused them to suffer damages to the extent of $2.0O0. which they are attempting to re- cover.
 The suit is returnable to court next month.

not one through which political spoils should be dispensed.
 He said, "lets turn the spotlight on the office of judge of probate, and take it out of the political darkness that shadows is presently. I strenuously maintain that the duties of this office are judicial in nature; that it is not to be treated as a political plum to be plucked for party purposes and politicians deals.
 '"The main obligation of this office is to administer the property Of dead people; see to 1t that the beneficiaries of such estates receive their due bequests, and that as a whole the affairs of the deceased be properly settled according to law. Consequently this office is a public trust and not political nest.
 "The administration of such mat ters,, should not in good conscience, permit single exception to the duty that it be handled in g non-par- tisan basis. There is no politics in death!
 And what's more, the probate judge has no divine right to con- tinue in office. Not in this country. One term does not deserve an other, regardless of how the first is carried out. It's not intended to be soft job for life"
 Frank Bronson, chairman of the town committee, in an address, called upon every member of the party to forget baby troubles and to work hard for the greatest vic- tory in the history of t'-c town. He said that the democrats were claim ing good times were here, but said they were still far of, but by put ting the party back into power, good times would follow. He asked every member of the club to go out and work up interest and help those on the ticket and members of the town committee.

Hollywood-The problem of ac- cents, domestic and foreign, is still troubling this department. And re- search among the studio dramatic schools has served only to confuse the issue further.
 Take a southern accent, which practically everybody in this country understands and finds pleasant. That's taboo. When player with drawl comes to Hollywood, his or her first task is learning to pro- nolttace r's and final g's, and to enunciate crisply and more rapidly. Even if scenario is laid in the deep south, the characters still must speak stage English.
 But a foreign accent is something else again. Any foreign accent. It makes no difference if 1t happens to be unintelligible half the time. Gregory Ratoff's accent is comic. Simone Simon's accent is glainofotis If you can't understand what they're saying, it's just your hard luck.
 Nor does 1t make any difference if the accents are as racially inter mingled as those at League of Nations conference. An Austrian can play a Spaniard, an Italian can
