Paul Mrs Don Miller and Mrs James Bradley attended as visitors. Grand officers from Wraugel were Don Miller, treasurer. Louis F. Paul sec retary and Herbert Bradley sergeant at-arms
 Two days of the convention were devoted to discussions on adopting a new A. N B. constitution and re organizing so that the A. N. B. would be administrative agent for the Wheeler-Howard act in it's pro visions for Alaska Natives. This would entail complete organization of all Alaska Indians and Eskimos into the A. N. B.
 The proposition was put before the convention by William l.. Paul, supported by Oscar Lipps of the Bur eau of Indian Affairs, Speaking on the Wheeler Howard Act MT. Lipps said that whether or not the Indians took advantage of the act would be entirely up to them. "The Indian will have to come and ask for the loan for his industry, then it will be considered by the bureau" he said.
 Mr Lipps in explaining the act to the convention, said that congress had made available $1O,O0O,0O0 for loans to the Indians for industries, and that s3,50O,000 had actually been appropriated, but that no al

PATCO PLANE
 DAMAGED IN
 ZLMOVIA STR.

NrangelI experienced it's second airplane mishap in the space of two weeks last Tuesday morning when the Alaska Air Transport plane New Patco swamped three miles south of town in Mimoyia Strait. Pilot Jim mic Rinehart had been trying to take off all morning without success with two passengers for Ketchikan. A stiff southeaster was blowing and the bay was quite lumpy.
 After several attempts to get into the air, Rinehart discovered that one of his pontoons was leaking heavily. It is supposed that the severe bump ing of the swell caused the leak. When he saw that the float was taking too much water he ran the plane ashore and tied it. The passeu- gers. Fred J. Hotes of Portland and J. L. Frank of Prince Rupert and the pilot were able to step ashore without getting their feet wet. As the tide flooded however, the plane settled until at high water only the tail of the ship was visible.
 The passengers were taken on to Ketchikan by the Metlakatla tender Mary Lou.
 With the ebbing tide preparations were made to raise the plane. Oil drums were placed alongside the pontoons as a safety measure to sup port them in case a hole had been punched while the ship was i'm mersed. When the tide flooded again the disabled craft was lowed into Wrangell by the gas launch Bear owned by c. F. Hurley. They arrived here at 1:3O Wednesday morning.
 An inspection was made later by chief pilot Sheldon Simmons of the Alaska Air Transport Inc when he arrived here after one hour and forty-fiye minutes flying in another AAT ship from Juneau He brought with him mechanics Ray Robinson, Gordon Graham. and Bud Bedding.
 The boys beached the plane at once and dismantled the motor. The wings were taken off preparatory to loading the ship on the deck of the Daisy, owned by Tony Saari, who left this afternoon to take it to Juneau where there are proper fac ilities for working on the damaged craft

We overheard a Wrangell woman telling two other women in the postoffice lobby recently that her husband had given her fresh cause for indignation. After their return from a rather large gathering she led up to the subject of new dress by asking him if he had mo- ticed the difference in her appear ance and that of the other women present.
 To her surprise he said he had, adding, you were the only woman there whose dress hung evenly. The rest were all longer in the front than in the back" She decided it was not an oppOrtune time to discuss a new dress and said the more she thinks about it the more indignant she is; either Hubby was entirely too observing or he recognized the lead question and cut it off short.

whatever. A marvellous value!''
Gay said, ''I'll take it. Wrap
it carefully, please, because I want
to wear it, tonight"
Outside the shop, she counted
the money she had left in her
purse. Four dollars, to last till
payday!
I'm crazyw she told herself, as
she hurried back to the club. eff
Mr.. Vance doesn't need me to pose
next week, won't even be able to
give Jean my half of the rent!
But all worries and Scruples
were forgotten when she slipped
into the new dress that evening,
and saw how she looked in it. She
had come home directly from work,
bathed, powdered, and arranged
her hair in delicious excitement.
For almost two weeks she'd been
looking forward to Wayne's party.
Now the great evening was here,
and she had this adorable gown to
wear. What heavenly world!
She gazed breathlessly at her re-
Election in the bathroom mirror.
The ice-blue gown made her look
tall and aristocratic- Vivien

and then burst out laughing at
herself. But certainly no one
would ever take her for a check

Wayne arrived at last, in taxi
his own car was laid up at the
service station for repairs-and
Gay, who had been waiting for
him with anxious Impotence,
came slowly and gracefully down
the steps, pulling on the long
white gloves that were jeans con-
tribution to her ensemble. She
was well aware Of the fact that
from behind the curtains of the
ground floor windows, the care
taker and his wife were observing
her departure with deep interest.
"How stunning you look"
Wayne's eyes were smiling, as he
helped her into the cab. "Such
grandeur deserves a Rolls Royce,
instead of common taxi"
He seated himself beside her.
and Gay lifted a radiant face to
his.
Don't make fun Of me. If you

thing. It's like dream, and 7

He sauntered over to the easel

All during the rest of the time
she was posing, that remark
stayed with Gay.
Both Wayne and Christian Scott
had seen her in the white evening

Of this enchanting shade of blue.
