DIETERICH FOR SPEED

LIE EnACh FUN SPEED
Dieterich replied:
There is every presumption
in favor of the Presidents nomi-
nation. There is no doubt in my
mind that his qualifications
were looked into fully before he
was chosen.
The objections raised by the
Senator from Vermont are a
matter of law and we should not
attempt to sit here as a Supreme
Court, and we shouldn't hold I'D
the nomination Of a United
States Senator because there
may be some difference of opin.
ION as to the question raised by
the Senator from Vermont.
1t remains that the Senator
from Alabama is honorable and
everyone knows that he is A
good lawyer. It should be the
opinion of the committee that
the President has full right
TO nominate whomSoever he
chooses to the Supreme Court.
and 1t is the duty of the Senate
to approve that nominee"

The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-12-21

This time he read the letter in a different mood. Let's give Dad and Mother the surprise of their lives. Let's go down and make one grand Christmas for them. You can turn everything over to someone else for week-anyone can handle things like that-there's nothing personal or precious about them"
 Nothing personal or precious about them!" He turned the words over in his mind. Hal was right. Someone else could handle the things that had seemed so terribly important. A few hours of confusion, perhaps; then things would go on as before. The world would forget him in a day.
 His fingers reached for the pen upon his desk. Dear Hal" he be- gan, q heartily agree with your pro posal that we get together and make plans to give Dad and Mother the biggest surprise and the grandest Christmas ever" He was smiling broadly, almost laughing aloud, as he finished the letter with a flour ish.
 Five minutes later Miss Denby entered his private office to find a new Robert Dutton. She almost dropped her book in surprise at the expression upon his face, and the new way in which he greeted her.
 I'm ready to begin, MT. Dutton, :" she began nervously, when he made
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-12-21

looked pleased. There you are" he said. I'm sorry, Kay, to fall down on cur agreement, but I knew you wanted the darned thing"
 There you arel" cried Kay hurl- ing the box at him. T simply will not let you squander your money on ex- pensive things for me, Toby"
 Toby opened the box. drawing forth a manly, well-tailored dress ing gown for tall gentleman. You know" muttered his wife in small voice, you haven't a thing to sit around in at home"
 50 this" he raved, lis the great exhibition of selfishness! And where is your housecoat, I'd like to know?"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-12-21

With Christmas drawing near, why can't we get together and make plans" Robert Dutton read no further. With calm deliberation he put the heavily scrawled letter back into it's envelope.
 Always the impractical Hal" he said slowly. No wonder he never gets anywhere"
 A list of appointments waited upon his desk. Visits from two of the most important men in town; a delegation about a right-of-way through a tract of land he had just purchased: a reminder of talk he had promised to make at lunch con. Important things, he thought, things Hal would never be called upon to do.
 Hastily he went through his mail. A square envelope in a familiar hand caught his eye. He opened it a little curiously. What could Miss Denby be writing him about? His long fingers drew out an artistic Christmas card. A conservative wish and an old Christmas carol printed in English letters. That was all, except the signature, Eleanor Denby"
 A flush stained his face, an in- definable something sent the blood singing through his veins. "Elea- nor" he said softly; "a beautiful name; how queer that l never heard it before"
 Then, as if resenting his weakness and sentiment he dug into his mail again. But try as he would he could not concentrate on the things that

afternoon. Kay said yes; it was waiting in the closet. And it was, though not quite what Toby sup posed.
 Kay was excited as child on Christmas morning. There were waffles for breakfast and especially good coffee. Afterwards. Mrs. Toby Barnes showed her tall husband into his big chair. Sit there she com manded him, and left the room.
 When is this fine exhibition of selfishnesss going to begin?" he shouted after her. T want to see it in actionl"
 Kay returned with large pack age elaborately wrapped. Toby

down into wide, comfortable chair, squeezing in beside him.
 You're a perfectly grand guy" !" she smiled, but this Christmas, my man, I'm going to be superbly self ish, as an experiment. Will you try it too, Toby?"
 "All right" he agreed, "I'll take you on."
 The next morning Kay tilted a pert gray hat on her curls, and walked imperiously to the shopping district. I'm fed up with being poor, and scrimping and saving so can be generous in mean, little ways. Today I spend on myself"
 She felt guilty and ridiculous, and she turned her eyes away from a haberdasher's window where gentle mems furnishings were irvitingly displayed. Toby needed masses and masses of things. No, just this once she would spend with bang all she had on something frivolous for her self Toby had promised to do the same.
 At noon she happened to notice a tall person standing by the next store window. He was absorbed in thought. Kay hardly breathed while the man suddenly plunged into the store door, She crept close to a sheltering pillar while she watched what happened inside.
 She saw the man point to Wom- ans rich, quilted housecoat. She saw him pay for it, and leave, but without a package under his arm. Just the sort of housecoat for which she had yearned hopelessly.
 She gasped in dismay. For one hot second she was possessed with anger Toby wasn't playing fair. He had no right to make her feel ashamed and abject on Christmas morning
 When Toby's Tapping overcoat was out of sight Kay slipped into the same shop, going straight to the counter her husband had left. May I inquire" she asked crisply, If that quilted housecoat just pur- chased, is to be delivered to Mrs. Toby Barnes?" She gave the house address. The clerk was startled into admitting the fact.
 Kay threw up her chin. T asked

 They both laughted. Then Kay lan forward and dragged her husband
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-12-21

my husband, MT. Barnes, to step in here today to buy that for me. I've changed my mind May I ex- change it for something else I pre- fer?"
 The clerk weakly nodded.
 Christmas eve found Kay a bit cryptic. Toby carelessly inquired if a package had been delivered that

rushing around in circles. He saw the big tree in the corner of the parlor; the kitchen table piled high with good things to eat. And Mother and Dad, with happiness beaming upon their faces.
 He picked up Halls letter again. After all, maybe his kid brother wasn't so crazy? The thought was pushing through his mind that may be it was he who lacked real sense.

no motion to start the routine of the day.
 Were going to forget business for today, Miss Denby, and go Christmas shopping, that is, if you want to help me out" He fumbled with his tie as he spoke, noticing for the first time the soft curving of her white neck. "Your Christmas card" he went on wrought some miracle. I've found out that business and making money isn't everything in life. They're both fine in their way, but there are other things, too; precious things that I've been overlooking" He came closer to her side and looked hard into her eyes. For instance, going shopping with a good-looking and adorable sec- retary."

Weather Today GU. s. Weather Bureau)

Snow was falling over central and western Alaska this morning while rain was observed over the Panama Valley and southern Al aska. Generally cloudy condi- tions were observed along the Gulf and southeastern Alaska.
 Fairbanks reported 61 inches of snow on the ground in their 2 a. m. observation and at am. rain was falling making the air field impossible for flying activities Ruby measured 69 inches of snow
 Barometer readings are high over the north Pacific Ocean while a deep centered area of low pressure is charted over the Der ing Sea and Alaska. This gen. eral pressure distribution will likely cause a continuation of un- settled weather with snow storms for Nome and vicinity for tomor- row with somewhat lower tem- peratures.
 Temperatures continue mild & above the normal in most sec tions of Alaska.
 The lowest Nome temperature last night was 20 above and the highest yesterday was 27 above.
 There was 20.4 inches of snow on the ground at Nome at noon today.

(By The Associated CreSS)
 FAIRBANKS, Jan. 20, - Snow swirled over this city, adding rapidly to the record fall of 15 and a half inches in twelve hours which ended last midnight. Unoffi cial reports said the previous re- cord snow fall was thirteen in ches.
 Reports from interior towns and settlements in the Panama, Yukon, Kuskokwim and Koyukuk valleys showed a heavy snow there.
 Along the Kuskokwim river the snow for the winter mas amounted to 92 inches. Miners said the snow promised sufficient moisture for spring operations, while others saw a danger of de- vastating floods if warm weather suddenly comes.
 Airplanes got away with 32 passengers for Juneau who have been held here since the early part of the month by bad wealth CT. Another plane slipped thru Whitehorse yesterday morning with ten passengers.
 All legislators from the Second and Fourth Divisions are now in Juneau with the exception of Senator John B. Powers of Eagle who arrived here Sunday and stayed over on account of his wife's illness. Powers expects to leave on the next plane.
 About thirty-fve passengers are ready to leave on the next southbound planes, as soon as weather permits.
