P.W.A WINS WIDE APPROVAL

more authentic expression of public opinion on recovery measures of the Roosevelt Administration than be deduced from some of the nationwide straw votes is revealed in a survey of the ten mill
 ballot referendum of regularly registered voters their desire to contribute from local funds for P w. A. non Federal projects
 Eighty y-three percent of all such proposals sub- mitted at the polls received direct approval o local taxpayers by margin than two to one in 2166 elections. In the AT elections where local contributions defeated there 4460000 votes cast and the negative majority only l95.00O. In many instances where local contributions were de- feated majority of the votes were affirmative but the elections lost because of State laws and stitutional provisions require approval by than majority, usually by two-thirds
 Voters approved proposals for P. w. A. permanent improvements requiring local contributions of $213- 621 000 which approxinated four times the projects defeated, $54 1885 0o0 More than 2O00 secondary schools included, also college and university buildings, libraries, city halls and other types of

America-Nation of Sums!
(New York -Telegram0

(New York World Telegraph
 Ten million American families 50,O00,O0O per- sons on farms in towns and cities, now live in sumslike bodes undermining health, character, morals and the basis of democracy.
 Listen to Senator Robert F. Wagner he sys- ltematicay discussed this growing American curse, and we believe that two things become certainties. First, the peril to people and institutions is too enormous to trifle with the problem longer. Second, the nation can never get it's fleet economically till housing construction is speeded up to gigantic proportions. This, we believe has become the para mount task of the American Government and business
 The housing construction industry formerly mainstay of national employment and well being. Now 100000 building trade workers are jobless.
 Relate that financial helpfulness of, say, 200O0- GOO people with the fact that nearly 5000o0O0 lack the means of emerging from slum homes
 Money loaned for houses for more than four families in 1926 Senator Wagner says, was $2311,- GOO 0O0 and last year but $280000000 B per cent housing slump from 1928 to 1929 was, in fact, the bellwether leading to depression. Stagnation, with houses aging and none replacing them and popula- ton growing has since been scarcely broken except that this January building permits for homes ex- ceeded those of January, 1885, by 166 per cent. Less than 1000 families in the nation however, affected, which feabite.
 Senator Wagner sums up:-Infant mortality in the worst slums is three times greater than in prosperous neghborhoods Three of very four babies have rckets Tuberculosis danger is thirty times as great, crime is two and a half times great, juvenile delinquency four times great. And four times as many women are arrested. Insanity is seven times great. Weakened bodies increase industrial and other diseases. Fires are more frequent.
 We believe that Senator Wagners facts show the time has come for Congress cities and the American people to treat housing not simply as a human right, or even or the economic necessity which it is, or even as bulwark against dictatorship; it must be treated minimum and urgent essential to halt the fast demoralization of the character of millions of American people.

WEDNESDAY, March Is, 1886. Although there is strong benefic aspect today, adverse influences too are active, according to astrology. Under this sway jealousies may be exceedingly strong and vindictive While this is promising rule for the starting of any sort of project or business, the best opportunity will be that which is promoted sby gov ernment aid.
 Lawyers now will be much in evidence and among them women will seek prominence. A period of many speeches will bring fame to few, but in many cases it is well to remember that silence is golden
 Persons in the Sun have the best of forecasts for the future. Though they may have many enemies they are likely to overcome them.
 Saturn is in place of evil portent to workers, many of whom may be exceedingly rebellious and difficult to deal with. Strikes will continue.
 Warning is given that danger lies for many in enforced idleness. Ac- tivity of mind and body are en- joined. The seers advise making work where none appears to exist.
 There is a sign read as encour- aging secret conferences, intrigue and deceit in many public move ments. Politics may be more devious in dark ways than is usual, even in the most strenuous campaigns
 Death of party leader in the. coming summer is foretold for the national political campaign. Many unexpected conditions may create anXieties.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of busi- ness advancement attended by pos sible disagreements with associates. Women should have happy twelve months.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly forceful and determined in character. These persons who are on the cusp of Pisces and Aries may have unusual intellectual gifts.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Wearing Of the green, evident today in honor of St. Patrick, is a tribute that has come down through the centuries in recognition of whose great work in his churchly calling has been the of confusing legend.
 Contrary to most observances of this nature, St. Patrick's Day commennorates his death rather than his birth
 And while St. Patrick himself is most popularly regarded as the man who drove the snakes from Ireland there is no documentary evidence available that he ever crusaded against the serpents
 There even is doubt to where he born, in England France, to where he buried and his age at death, reputed to be l06 years.
 There is dispute as to whether he was saint by proclamation solely by tradition.
 But these all matters of small consequence
 The significant fact is that he lived such a useful life in the of righteousness and in the advancement of his church that he is re- membered to this day.

KETCHIKAN CHANGES
 NAMES OF STREETS


 Changes in names of Ketchikan's streets are to become effective July l5, according to action taken by the city council.
 One of the major changes in the revised naming system is the elim- nation of the numerous ways" which after July Is will be called streets. Another major revision is the elimination of all Park streets with the exception of the road leading from Bawden street at the Ketchikan General hospital to the ball park Mahoney street also is to be eradicated-as a name-and the thoroughfare from Stedman to Park streets will be known as Deermount street.
 AS a result of the last-named change, there will be no Woodland avenue. The new name is a con- traction of Deer mountain. Coun- cilmen also showed a preference to designate streets by names in- stead of numbers.

Good morning, Miss Mrs. good
morning.
Going out through the crowd of clerks was
running gauntlet of glances like blows. In
the seclusion of her own cubbyhole Valerie
packed her few things. Before she was ready
to leave the messenger put before her ref
erence and voucher calling on the cashier
to pay her what she would have earned
if she had not fallen in love contrary to
Section 213.
She wanted to tear the voucher to pieces,
but she thought of the bills at home and the
problems beyond the bills. She held her head
high as she went down the aisle of desks, and

and flung into poverty just after she had lost
poverty's only solace, her love.
She could not think straight and she would
not think aloud. She despised Floyd so much
that she would not even plead her case. So
Floyd sentenced her with what he thought to
be handsome leniency:
Il have no recourse, then. but to let you 60.
I'll give you voucher for your pay to the end
of the month. will also give you reference
saying that you are sober and honest, an excel
lent stenographer and typist, with high 10.
But honesty will force me to leave blank the
dotted lines concerning your moral character"
Thank YOU" Valerie Gray said duly.

have lot of women working for
him, to cast his eyes about rose
garden of fair employees. But he was jealous
god. and he did not want any Of his office
harem to be married to other men. or even
interested in them.
Ada Stoves barbed remark about Valerie
Gray's sharing the apartment of Neal Douglas
went home the deeper from the fact that
Floyd had himself offered his special smiles to
the girl, and had invited her to dinner more
than once He'll hath no fury like that of a
boss who finds that woman in his employ
soorns him for an underling.
He sent for Valerie in hot haste and could
hardly pretend to be impersonal and lofty
minded: miss Gray, I'm sorry to have to say
this, but it has come to me from reliable
source that you and clerk named Douglas
are living as man and wife, Are you ="
Valerie was smitten dumb by the unex-
pected question Her silence went for con-
fession.
He continued: you must realize, my dear
-er- Miss Gray & Mrs Douglas, that
if you are really married, Section 2l3 auto
matically discharges you. If you're not mar
ried. then = er- well. can hardly imagine
that; but if it were true, you could hardly
expect me to permit the moral tone OF my
Office to be-er contaminated by. such an
. example. Since you either are married or are
not, it looks as if, in either case, l should be
compelled to - to let you 60 - doesn't it"
Valerie stood white and speechless Floyd
could not tell whether she represented inno-
