Cleverness of the Chinese.

ONCE, long ago, I, being a re-
~ porter, was detailed to accom-
pany to police headquarters in New
York a Chinese prince who'd come
over to study our police methods.
We were in the Bertillon bureau,
presided over by the famous in
spector Faurot.
"Ah, yes," said the courtly visi-
tor in faultless English, "this same
system has been in vogue in my
land since time immemorial, ex-
cept that we use fingerprinting in
addition to legal signatures and of
fetal seals, for further validating
important documents
Don't you also use it for record
ing habitual crirninals?"
at do not think so.''
"Well, them" asked Faurot, chow
do you identify them?"
Every simple" said the prince
and smiled a gentle smile. when

anyone may recognize him at
glance.

BLOW AT ALASKA
 ISOLATION

If the plans of the Post office Department and Con- gressional leaders for aerial development in Alaska, as outlined yesterday in an ex elusive news dispatch to The Empire, materialize it will be the greatest single stride forward the Terri tory has taken in decade. For it means the two things that the north needs most better transportation and communication.
 With the Clipper ships spanning the great distan- ceS of the Pacific on regular schedules, the comparison of regular plane service be- tween Seattle and Juneau, and then feeding out into the Territory, is a gigantic stroke for Alaska.
 A highway between con- tinental United States and the north will come in time. but it is the airplane that must come first to assure rapid transportation and in duStrial development.
 Linking Seattle, Ketchi- kan and Juneau on a regu- lar plying air line would be a death blow at isolation of which we are now so aware It would mean a matter of hours to the business cen- ters of the west coast where today we are confronted with a handicap of three to four days by water travel in the first instance. It means, in a few words,

linking the S65, 100000 an- nual production income of Alaska with the marts of trade. And given such transportation the territory could send that production figure millions higher.
 Already the advantage of the airplane in transporta- tion of machinery, equip ment and supplies to outly- ing mining projects has been demonstrated. and a sure fast service from the States by air could easily mean development of some workings that are now ly- ing idle because of lack of transportation.
 The air mail feature of the program now being pushed before Congress for Alaska also would lend it's share to progress in the north, as we have often en- phaSized. Many a business proposition has chilled due to the lack of facilities for getting adequate informa- tion to a given destination when it would do the most good.
 The 60.000 inhabitants of the 600,000 square miles that is Alaska hold no false hopes, but if the Congress wants to make this rich Ter ritory an integral part of the United States nothing can bring about that result quicker than an air line & air mail between Seattle & the north. necessarily, sub- sidized.-Juneau Empire.

care for me? It's idiotic to them
that I should hope for happiness.
If they knew I secretly dreamed
Of marrying and some day hav-
ing a child of my own, they'd
think I was completely mad. I'm
81. I'm not supposed to have any
hunger; any humanity. They took
my youth and without a thought,

Nom a taste of ease and luxury?

CHAPTER VIII
Wednesday of the following
week, Nell came home to find
Emily packing two shabby suit
cases. She had got a job: cook,
housemaid, laundress for a couple,
both of whom worked-$40 q
month.
Nom sat at the kitchen table,
dumbly weeping.
Emily yanked straps together.
She said ferociously: "A daughter
of hers to be a servant! The Mag
nificent MasonS! Isn't it a

But she went into the kitchen
and laid a surprisingly gentle
hand on Mons shoulder. TITS

now. Please muster a smile"
They were hard, grinding days
after Emily's departure. Nell rose
at 6 in the morning, prepared
breakfast, made beds, washed
dishes. She was haunted by the
dull, anguished suffering look in
her mothers eyes and rushed
home in the evenings to start
dinner.

made her copy it," She handed
the paper grimly to Nell.
This was the letter:
ITO whom it may concern:
"This is to certify that Miss
Emily Doran has been in my en-
ploy as cook and houSekeeper for
seven years. She is honest, eff
Gent and economical. She has
studied diet and is a tasty and
most exceptional cook. She has
taken complete charge of my
home, attending to the ordering,
the accounts and the laundry.
Her service to me was loyal and
invariably competent. It is with
deep regret that am forced, due
to the depression, to dispense
with her services. I recommend
her without reservation.
Sincerely,

Nell looked up with staggered
amazement: Whats it all about?"
I'm walking out. I'm getting a
job," snapped Emily. I've put in
, my application with the Employ
ment Bureau. They think they
can quickly place me. They're
calling up tomorrow"
What will become of Nom?
She can't do the work"
Emily shut her lips tightly:
'That's Mons business! I had a
row with him. He kicked about the
way 7 ironed his shirts. Brought
out one and told me to do it

Pl0W Horse Role of Proud
Family Ended BY Uncle San,

When they had paid for their SIM
pie necessities, nothing was left.
BY the same back breaking method
they produced two bales of cotton in
1894. But it was losing fight. In
1885 the inadequately titled new
ground had become infested with
weeds which hand labor couldn't erad-
icate, and the family made only one
bale of cotton.

didn't furnish him with q horse. I
told them he hadn't asked for help.

to us by the welfare Office, we ad-
vanced him o loan"
Out Of the loan, the first expendi-
ture was SOS for horse. The Greens
call him Selum and treat him almost

The Rural Resettlement Administra-

acted as its own work animal for
three years.
Green and his family were too proud

father, Molher; son and two daugh-
tiers, cleared ground in the woods near
here, owned by the elder Green's

mishandled, and that its distribution
is essentially political. but SO far he
has been unsuccessful in persuading
the Washington authorities to make
any change in the official Set-up.
What the political effects of all Of
these conditions will be, 1t is too early
to predict, but the Republicans are
nightly encouraged by them. They
are extremely confident that they will
carry the State in November against
both President Roosevelt and the DEM
ocratic State ticket.
Walter S. Hallanan, national COM
mitteeman, and long the dominant Re-
publican leader of the State, originally
favored Col. Frank Knox for Presi-
dent, but he switched to Landon last
week, after a series of straw votes had
shown the latter to be the popular
favorite. A poll conducted by the
Charleston Daily Mail, the leading Re-
publican paper of the State, gave Lam
don 1,142 votes to rs for Borah. II
for Hoover, 40 for Knox, 5 for VAN
denberg and for Dickinson. An al
most equal preponderance of Lam
don strength has been shown else
where.
Refused to Fight Borah.
When Borah announced recently
that he would contest for Statewide
presidential preference, an attempt
was made to induce Landon also to
enter, but he refused to do so.
Thereupon, Hallanan announced his
candidacy for delegate at-large, with
the declaration that Il will not be
bound by the uncontested preferential
vote. I will support Gov. Landon SO
long as his name is before the conven-
tion, and thereafter will exercise my
best Judgment"
This cue apparently has been taken
by great majority of the candidates
for delegate. So far as can be discov-
cred, none of these candidates favors
Senator BoraiL
The Republican contest for guber-
material nomination is among three
principal candidates, Judge Summers
H. Sharp of Marlinton, Judge Lewis
H. Miller of Ripley and Chapman
Revercomb, a Charleston attorney, all
relatively new to State politics.
The probable Republican nominee
for Senator is Frank W. Nesbit, prom
inent attorney and former judge, OF
Wheeling. He is opposed by Hugh
Ike Shott, former Congressman. OF
