Linen Closets

When you are building a linen
closet, or planning a china closet
with drawers for keeping table
cloths and napkins, remember
your "best" pieceS-those special
tablecloths that should not be
creased. Wooden rollers that
slide easily into shaped rachets
win take care of this problem.

City Council Met inSessiOn
 Last Night

Continued From Page One mittee had no report to make. When questioned by Councilman Polet if he had anything to report on the matter of the city coun- cil hiring a special patrol man. and if he had inter- viewed any one person on the subject since the last meeting, he replied that he did not believe it was neceS sary at this time.
 Councilman Polet reiter ated his statements of two weeks ago that he believed it was necessary for the council to put a patrolman on in order to strengthen the fire department, in- stead of weakening it.
 Councilman SeidenVerg beleived that the matter should be investigated or dropped intirely. It was finally decided that a com mittee be appointed and Mayor protem Sather ap- pointed Councilmen Hagen and Seidenverg to look into the matter and report at the next meeting.
 Councilman Seidenverg moved and it was duly sec onded that the offer of Mrs K. Turner of $75 for a cer- tain lot on Stedman avenue be accepted, which receiv- ed the approval of the cot neil.

 Ketchikan, incidentally. is believed to be the only city in Alaska to have such a system in it's municipal police work.
 As the first city in the Territory and the port of en try for the large majority of persons coming to Alas ka, the innovation is seen as particularly valuable here. In the past Ketchi- kan has been something of a dumping ground for the riff raff of the north west states, being especial ly attractive to men want ing to get out of sight.
 Steamer tickets of such men are most often made out only as far as Ketchi- kan because of low financ- es and the port has in the past had an unuually large number of undesirables, of ficers state. The coming spring is apt to see even more of this sort of thing than before and the finger printing system is one o1 the things the local depart ment is employing to mini

Wanted" men will do well to steer clear of ketch ikan in the future-or at least to be on their good behavior while in that city.
 Chances of their passing undetected are becoming smaller, especially this year with the municipal police department having recently set up a finger print identification system.
 The system includes an exchange of lists of want ed" characters with other cities of the United States and also a man trained in identifying by means of fin gerprinting. Claud Aiken, patrolman who has interest ed himself in the study of fingerprint Identification for several years, has gain ed recognition with his work and authority but not finances-to go ahead with it recently was grant ed by the city councils po- lice committee.
 In addition to having the aid of other police depart ments in the fingerprinting system in listing "wanted" characters or men who have criminal records, the local department has also estab- lished working agreements

mlZe unWelcome deVelOp- ments because of it.
 By using the fingerprint- ing system police can es- tablish the identity of queS- tionable persons over night of they are wanted. Such a person is fingerprlnted, the results, classified in a simplified identification method and the resulting description is radioed to clearing offices in Washing ton.
 There a check through the files that are made up of police contributions from all over the United States readily and speedily tells on" the person in question. If he is wanted, his fingerprint classifica- ton will be found in the re cords in a matter of minut- es and a radiogram will an- sWer the local officer b question.
 The same applies to men who have criminal records or who have been inVesti- gated on suspicion of crime. Officer Aiken has already made use of the system to good advantage and estab- lished the indentity of sev- eral persons picked up here for various counts. In all cases, however, the local Wrong-doings of men in the past have been the only ones that brought them trouble. In most cases they proved to be eX-conVicts.
 It has been estimated that between 50 and SC men with more or less ser ious criminal records were in Ketchikan last summer Many of them who hac completed penitentiary ser tences while others were still on parole. Although the majority were engaged in seasonal work here some of them remained over the winter.
 At the present time the city police are providing their own fingerprinting equipment which is by nc means complete but they hope that city councilmen will see sufficient benefit from it to encourage them in granting funds to obtain further equipment.
 All in all however the To- cal force is prepared to meet the spring invasion of parolees and eX-convicts as completely as possible.

of excuse for wondering which Of
two or more Democratic aspirants
will win some particular nomination.
THIS YEARS PROBLEM -~,. 49,
Such a situation notably existed
prior to this years primaries.
Dixie is Democratic mainly in a
conservative, old-fashioned sense. The
Roosevelt regime has proved itself to
tie Democratic in a decidedly new
tangled sense. A considerable num-
Der of the old-fashioned brand have
gone so far as to deny that it is DEM
Ocratic in any sense. ,rfv;
Now, the pre-primary problem was:
Had the average dyed-in-the-wool
Democratic voter yet assimilated the
idea that the New Deal is very diff
ferent from what he always has con-
sidered Democracy or did he still re-
gard the present administration as
Democratic because that is its label?
NEW DEALERS WIN
On the former supposition it seem
ed reasonable to assume that a real
old-line Jeffersonian would feel friend
E ly toward the denomination candi-
dacy of a Democratic statesman like,
for example, Senator Thomas P. Gore,
of Oklahoma, a lifelong Democrat, if
Democracy is what it used to be, but
a bitter anti-New Dealer.
On the latter theory it would have
appeared that Senator Richard B
Russell, Jr of Georgia, should be
turned down for denomination, be-
cause, although professedly Jeffel
sonian, his record is so New Dealerish
Well, the problem is solved.
All through the southland the anti
New Deal Democrats were socked
the pro-New Dealers were triumphant
In the northern states the division
isn't so clean-cut, but in the South a
nomination and an election are
anonymous.

ISLANDS,.

Like some austere and classic frieze.
Those pine-dark islands rim the
West,
Rising from sunset-colored seas,
Nv foam encircled, wave-possessed.
Not far from land as fish hawks fly.
Charted for all who wisely shun
That line Of surf and pass them by
On courses more securely run
Those islands, granite-bound and
steep,
May come no nearer than today.
Giving no foothold one can keep.
No shelter from the wind and spray.
But even water never crossed
Dcepcns to purple round the quays,
still strangely humorous of the lost
Hespcrides.
