AUGMENTATION BEFORE WINTER
 ARRIVES, URGED
Building Industries Suggest Owners Put Property
 Tn Order

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Build- ing contractors, plumbers, painters, and other members of the home building and allied industries, to- gether with banks and newspapers, are making every effort to present to the public the opportunities available for home modernization before winter sets in.
 Under the Modernization Credit Plan, funds may be obtained from bank, building and loan associa- tion, or other private financial in stitution which holds contract of issuance with the Federal Hous- ing Administration. This money may be used for the purpose, of modernizing, altering, repairing, or making additions to the home. Such a loan is repaid in equal monthly instsIlments and may cover period up to five years. if 
 Additions and Repairs
 New coal, gas-. or oil-heating systems may be installed Or old ones repaired and cleaned. Fire places may be built. Houses can be repainted or reroofed and other wise prepared to withstand the ele- ments of weather.
 During the summer months fam flies with g ar d n S, terraces, or porches spent many leisure hours in them. With the approach of cold weather, however, attention is turned to the inside of the house. Complete redecoration of the living room or the entire house might make a long winter evening seem less dreary. With sons and daugh- ters away at school, their rooms may be repainted or repapered without disturbing the occupants.
 List for Checking
 An inventory of the home, inside and out, will probably reveal nu- merous things that should be at tended to before winter comes.
 Make list of the necessary re- pairs. Then consult the nearest office of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration or your own bank and ask what simple steps may be taken to obtain an insured mod ernization loan.

FLOWER BULBS NOW FOR
 SPRING BLOOM
 @ ess~ wr~@ n44 S~44s A
]. P. Anderson Gives Per- tinent, Seasonal Infor-
 nation for Junealites

October is the great month for handling flower bulbs that are forc-' ed or bloom early in the Spring, j.. P. Anderson, Juneau florist and bo- tanist, said today when interviewed relative to pertinent seasonal in-. formation for local residents who are garden enthusiasts, or those who are contemplating starting this in- teresting hobby next spring a,,ss
 I. For early spring bulb, flowers it is necessary to plant the bulbs in the fall, MT. Anderson said, so, that the roots may form before fxeezing weather al begins and that {, the growth may begin in the spring with the first mild weather. a \. .v.s Before Ground Freezes .ast.a October planting can be done any time before the ground freezes, but early planting, right now is pref erable, ,re .ta sea,,aa seaa.se f.s, Any good garden soil that will produce good vegetables is suitable for, planting bulbs .eir s.,at u,Y Tulips, daffodils. and other hardy narcissus should be planted five inches deep to the top of the, solid part of the bulb, according to An derson, Crocus. two inches deep, snnwdropso one inch and others in proportion to- the, size of. the bulb. Naturally the soil should be well prepared and fertilizer may De mix ed with the soil beneath the bulb but should not actually come in contact with the bulb.
 Fertilization
 Fertilization may be delayed until spring when it can be spread over the bulb bed and the rains will carry the fertility down to the roots. Hyacinths are hardy out of doors, but are more used for forcing in the house. The Chinese narcissus, the paper white and its yellow form are not hardy and are used for in- door growing only
 For indoor growing of hyacinths, tulips, daffodils and other hardy forms the bulbs should be planted now and placed in a cool cellar or shed for roofing. The tempera7 ! ture should not be above 50 degrees Do not bring them into the house before December, for if brought in too early the results are disappoint- ing. Mir. Anderson advises. The pa per white narcissus and it's rela- tives do not need the treatment, but better results are obtained 1T not planted too early or given too much heat in forcing. aT Bulbs Receiued
 Every fall the Juneau Florists receive more than 25,O00 bulbs, com- prising the bulk of the bulbs shipped to Alaska, Mir Anderson said, about 15,000 of these are, tulips, 4,000 daf- fodils and other hardy narcissus, $500 paper whites. and their rela- tives the yellow Soliel d Or and the Chinese sacred lily; more than 1000 of the. largest hyacinths, and the remainder crocus, iris, scilla or squill, snowdrop, Anemone, and var ious others.
 A considerable number of the bulbs are now here. MT. Anderson said, and all others enroute, many coming direct from Holland, in ciuding all the early and newer classes of tulips.
 MT. Anderson said he would glad ly answer any further questions he could relatively to fall bulb plant ing and would be pleased toadvise those starting new gardens. if they win call at the Juneau Florists.

CHAPTER xxi

For a frightened moment Julia
thought she was going to faint. But
she managed to ask, will - will
you let me finish the next num-
Der? Then I'll go with you"
The big Irishman smiled. Sure
But no shenanigans. Just singin'.'
When Julia walked onto the
floor for her second number she
saw Dunphy at one Of the tables
near the microphone. He nodded
pleasantly. 1t was obvious that he
was enjoying his assignment to
bring Julia Craig to headquarters.
All through the song. Julia S
eyes searched the big room for
Tom Payson or Smith Garland
but they we're nowhere In sight.
AS long as Julia Craig lived she
would never spend another hour
such as the one which followed her
entrance into that dark building
with Dunphy at her side. The big
Irishman had been full of consider
alton, but 1t was all too obvious that
he regarded her with suspicion. He
had watched Julia's every move,
even during the ride in the taxi
from the White Club.
But what can they want me
for?" she asked him nervously. Il
don't know anything about It.
He grinned at don't do any
good to tell me that, miss. You
got to tell that to the captain and
the prosecuting attorney"
That was while they were IN the
taxi. before he had led her into a
cluttered, dimly lit office where
two men sat in thick hae OF
cigar smoke. One was uniformed,
tfick-set and almost bald. The
other was young and sharp
featured. AS he turned his head
to look at Julia he reminded her
Of some bird of prey suddenly re-
gsrding a field mouse.
'"This Is Julia Craig" Dunphy
said, as II she we're some insignifi-
cant object he had just taken from
his pocket and tossed onto the table.
The police captain nodded. Sorry
to trouble you, Miss Craig. But

fore, five years ago. Daniel had waited
for him-when o train, haunting
flags out of every window, had pulled
into the station and man OF ~
had stepped down, his face scared
into q caricature Of what 1t once
had been.
"Allen." the old man was exclaim-
ing now, his shaggy head raised, MS
trembling hands outstretched, your
yoice-it soared-magnificent!'
Allen sagged into a chair, shaking
his head slowly, despairingly. you
only heard, Daniel. They saw, and
they were too repelled to listen"
DANIELS hand dropped onto Al
- lens shoulder. He tried to keep
the cheer in his words, We'll be
leaving Fullerton tomorrow, boy. In
New York you'll find lots Of things
to do"
Allen did not answer. What other
things? There could be nothing for
him but the speakers platform-am-
pitheaters with only the sky to bound
his voice; the mob, incensed or Gained
by his voice.
His voicel Only his voice-they
must overlook
The next afternoon just before train
time Allen received two letters. In
one the South Side Woman's CLUB
thanked him for his services on the
previous day, and hoped that "the
Great Benevolence would erase some
of the memories Of a turbulent war
that had been none too kind"
Allen laughed a little cynically.
Women were always ready to pity
him; they were generous with their
pity.
Then he took up the second letter,
addressed also in a feminine hand
He hesitated a moment. Why should
he read another? This pity from
women-women with their shocked
eyes and Mortified gasps at the sight
of him-he was sick Of it. Who
wanted to be pitied?
This letter would contain pity too;
they all did. He tore open the flap
half angrily, yet ashamed that he
should be angry. AS he read, the
anger and bitterness in his face gave
way to wonder. A girl had attended
yesterdays program and had been
moved as never before by his words.
CLOWLY he read her letter again.
Yesterday" she wrote, your
voice held me magnetically while you
showed me something I had never
seen before. What stirring emotion
in the very simplicity Of your words!
What appeal to the heart. what per-
suasion for the mind! You must in
deed be happy in your work, in giving
the courage Of your own brave spirit
to those of us who hesitate and are
afraid"

"TM GOING on, Daniel" he said
happily. He thrust the letter into
Daniels startled hands, and with
cleaning eyes watched him as he read.
Daniel finished the letter and stared
at the signature.
"Do you know her?" Allen asked.
"The name seems familiar" Daniel
said. Then, as If shaking on

recitation a dignity it had never had

Allen became one Of the most ia

viewed his work they called him "a
