JOnquil and Narcissus

The name jonquil is often hardy
narcissus. They are really distinct
species, distinguished by nearly
round, rush-like foliage and small
golden-yellow, medium to short
cupped flowers, usually borne more
than one on a stem, and have
more marked fragrance than most
other types. Daffodil is common
name applied to any kind Of mar
cissus, but which correctly refers
to several of the hardy type, espe-
cially the larger, single lowered
trumpet sort 1t is not the same
as a jonquil.

The Mink

Although it has well-developed
personality of its own, the mink
(putorius vision) is in many re-
spects sort of compromise be-
tween weasel and an otter, says
an authority in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Bigger than weasel,
il is not so large as an otter. Its
tail is bushier than a weasels, but
not as thick and heavy as an otter's.
Although good swimmer, it does
not devote itself to an aquatic exist
ence. And on the other hand, when
on land it generally stays on the
ground.

All the rich fabrics have leading
place in first fall showings, and the
picture is one of luxury. Special
Importance is placed on metal
cloths, heavy hubby silks and WOOL
ems and above all new patterns in
lace, in such variety as has not
been seen before, even in these
last few seasons when lace has been
foremost in vogue. The redingote
dinner gown pictured combines the
high-style features of rich fabric
and the accepted silhouette. The
foundation is heavy metal brocade.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12. - So long
have most of us listened to the jer-
emiads about jazz that it is heart
ening to read some of John Chap
mans fact about the popularity and
stability of the modern band man
He has ridden through the depres-
sion, the wonder of the amusement
business.
1t is being proved that the mar
who fails at almost everything else
as it used to be said of the fellow
who began selling insurance-car
organize a jazz orchestra and make
living. Buddy Rogers clumped to
clay as movie idol, but is now al
most topping his erstWhile screen
salary as a baton tWiddler.
The demand for personality or
chestra leaders is not confined to
cities. but in the vast multiplicity OF
one night stands. Towns Of from
5000 to $4,000 will pay handsome
ly for recognized dance orchestra.
Such an attraction draws from miles
around.
Paul Whiteman and Fred Waring
remain at the top of the big money
division for American dance orches-
tras. Guy Lombardo is also high on
the list Ray Noble is the big over
seas draw. An orchestra leader with
few engagement at a smart New
York resort, if his tunes have been
broadcast, can mop up.

BEGINNING WITH
AN INSULT

Very few editors in the United States
would not have been preludiced In the
beginning against the blast turned loose
in a New York county bi-weekly news
paper, especially in view of the letter
which accompanied the clippings. Amer
lean editors. although not a maudlin lot,
are proud of their tradition of free
speech even while recognizing that
some of their number abuse the tradI-
ton on occasion. Addressed to the edl-
tor of this newspaper and probably to
the editors of most other newspapers IN
the country, was the letter.
Referring to the clipping, 1t wanted TO
know: "Q If you have ever printed
news of this sort? (2) Would you be
permitted by your advertisers to do so!
90 Would you be prevented by polltl,
cal pressure from doing so? (4) Would
YOU consider yourself open to legal ac-
ton bv doing so?" The purport of the
questions are explained in an editorial
reference that "the public mind IS dellD-
erately confused by controlled press
and insdious propaganda.
That the opposition controls the press
is one of the oldest complaints IN polltl-
cal history. Those who do the complain
ing do not stop to realize that the edl-
tors of the nation, by clear thinking,
NAV have arrived at their own conclu-
sions. The charge of controlled
press" is particularly unjustified in this
instance. because the blast is one against
the Roosevelt administration-and
recent survey disclosed that more than
so per cent of the newspapers of Amer
lea. editorially, are opposed to the New
Deal! That doesn't look like the New
Deal controls the press!

THE SAFE AND SANE
MIDDLE COURSE

Extremes are often disgusting, and
extremists either dangerous or insulting,
or both. The typical extremist is one
who will not listen long enough to op-
posing arguments to obtain a clear pic
ture of the matter at hand. He has
absolutely no ability to assimilate evil
dence against his stand. To him, those
who oppose him are brainless, incom-
petent, selfish or acting under great
fear He will believe anything, as long
as it is radical enough and agrees with
his preconceived viewpoint. The radi-
Gals are not all on one side of the fence.
1t is possible to be dangerously radical
against those who are commonly de
scribed as radicals. An eXample-and
an insulting one-is at hand.

ANOTHER BRAND
OF RADICALISM

The questions were by way OF prelude
to the most radical attack on the New
Deal which has ever passed over TINS
desk. 1t was so radical, in fact, that IN
MANY regions it would win converts to
the New Deal banner who now are op-
posed to it because they believe 1t leans
too far to the left. The attack succeeds
in outdoing the radicals.
1t begins with purported news story
of the capture by American naval Of
ficers of supposed British plans to
lombard America from the airl 1t men
tions alleged British plans to establish
an aerial base at Richmond, Va, for
the purpose of subjugating America!
1t rings in France and AYERS the French
prime minister is sending planes to
Spain to "help the Communists in Spain
to bomb the Christian inhabitants.
Somehow or other, it puts British diplo-
mats under the thumb of Soviet Off
cials in Moscow. Sir Anthony Eden Is
following instructions from Moscow, not
from London, it says.
All this is not enough. The article
hints at impending rebellion in the army
of the United States against Roosevelt
It mentions civil war in America not as
a probability, not as a possibility, but
as a thing even now going on 1t charges

Hard Fight Waged on Floor of Convention for Abolition of Fish traps-Atty. DOnOhOe
 Leader in Affray-VOte
 To Abolish Them

It was until o'clock Sunday morning, Jan l9 when the labors of the delegates to the Democra- tic Convention at Seward survey ed their labors and called them good. One of the outstanding events of the convention was the bitter fight over abolition of fish traps, led by Attorney Tom Don oboe. to whose credit the victory belongs. He was assisted on the floor of the convention by Martin Harrais and Michael Haas, both Valdez men. The Juneau delega- tion was outstanding in the fight to keep the traps, but for two hours a bitter fight ragged, the vic tory ending with the antis.
 A resolution was introduced providing for the gradual" elim- ination of the traps, but an amend ment introduced by Thomas M. Donohoe. urged their elimination without the obnoxious word "gra duaI appearing in the resolution.
 The word gradual" was insert ed by M. E. Monagle, a Juneau delegate. H. H. McCutcheon arose and stated that the word was too elastic and covered too much latitude.
 Telegrams were received from the Cordova Fishermen's Union and the Cordova Democratic club urging the platform incorporate abolishment of fish traps.
 The platform, section by sec tion was read, and adopted with out argument, each section being explained by John Pegues, plat form chairman, Jos. Holman in- troduced resolution commend ing the U. s. Coast Guard Service which was adopted.
 The convention reconvened at 3 o'clock Saturday and listened to a report of the nominating committee, which named the fol- lowing:
