and wide to be jumped across.
There came a rainy season Of violent
storms - unusual" even for

began to fill. Queenie slipped on the

down into the swirling water!

johnson, anxious for the welfare of
his charges. battled his way through
the gale tQ the grottoes, and discovered
Queenie's plight. The huge tigress was
almost exhausted.
He ran for ladder; entered the
grotto from the rear, slid down to the
edge of the moat, put the ladder down
into it, and descended.
He called Queenie in an authorita-
tive voice. And she. a terrified. savage
creature, obeyed him. She splashed
her way to him feebly. and allowed
him to put her great paws on the rungs
of the ladder. Then she scrambled up-
ward to safety.
From that moment her attitude to-
ward her keeper changed completely.
He could 60 into her grotto without
any danger of attack. She yowled de-
lightedly whenever she saw him, and
even allowed him the privilege of
scratching her ears!
johnson saw nothing remarkable
in his own courageous action, or
Queenie's response. He remarks:
''Oh, she wasn't bad girl - she
was just scared of folks. When she
found that she could really trust a
human. she was willing to be friends"

 Eating Four Meals

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 5. = Elsie Reiman of Terra Haute, Ind. said to the waiter:
 I'd like a caviar. a fruit cock tail, lentil soup, filet of sole a large steak, apple pie a la mode and coffee, Boston style The waiter gulped. Young ladies of Miss Reirnan's apparent weight he correctly guessed 103 pounds usually don't order such meals, even when escorted.
 Presently Miss Reiman was joined by eight other girls and, after learn- ing what she had ordered, they all took the same.
 The girls are members of George Balanchine's ballet group, here to dance in picture They arc on a four -meal-a day schedule, and if they want to they may eat half pound of candy day
 Their problem is to keep their weight above 100 pounds. Heide Vas seler, from Philadelphia, weighs l05 The only other one who hits l05 is St. Louis Daphne Vane.
 Lillian Moore, Chase City, Va, is l02, and Holly Howard, Langley Field, Va, is the lightweight" at 101.
 There is, however, a Jess enticing side of the ballet picture. To rate the farmland diet, the girls must work harder than farmhands From i9 to 6 each day they are literally 1 on their toes, dancing and exercis- ing. And in the theatre there are night performances.

THE ALASKA AIR PROGRAM

Down in Seattle they a little concerned ove projected interior air route Alaska Canada apprehensive that Alaska air business might b. Bhunted in another direction than through Seattle The Post-Inteigencer expresses it in these words
 The announcement of the merger of Ma tional Park Arways with Western Air Ex- press, effective August l. and the presence in Edmonton, Alberta of United States depart ment of commerce officials and air line execu- tives is notice to Seattle that the recently re- ported interior air route to Alaska is virtually ready to begin operations
 Unfortunately this region will be left on a sidetrack for time in air connections with Alaska
 This condition should not continue.
 Students of aviation recognize the impor- tance of established commercial air routes. It is patent that the short line to Alaska by seapane is from Puget Sound, and that an interior route be developed, along the route of the proposed Alaska International Highway, that will be much more direct than the route through Montana and Alberta.
 Seattle will not lose it's position the port for Alaska business a result of the estab-
 shment of the Montana-Alberta air route. But it would be more convenient and profitable for both Alaska and Seattle when perman- ent passenger, express and mail air service is developed from Puget Sound.
 When the general public realizes the m- portance of keeping open all lines of com munication with the North such a service will be established
 While it is gratifying to Seattle mindful of Alaska business well it's own, and throwing it's weight back of development of Territorial air line development it has consistently done doubt if it has much to fear from interior air route to the Territory Canada Such line lines ultimately will be established lines span the globe. It is inevitable with aviation headed its present course But the more immediate problem of Alaska and con- tinental United States is development of arlines and airports in the Territory and connections with the most feasible point in the United States That most feasible point any map will reveal is Seattle and the Puget Sound country.
 
 In this connection it is interesting to note tha Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, Senator Lew B. Schwellenbach of Washington and Dr. Ernes Gruening of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions yesterday called at the White House te ask the President to approve $0000000 air develop ment for the Territory and that following the inter view Delegate Dmond expressed himself as "en couraged."

The Need for Building
(New York TimeS)

(New York TmeS)
 For several reasons the building industry ought now to be enjoying period of great activity With the extremely low level of construction shortage of housing accumulated during the depression Since 1929 the countrys population has increased by about 100000 while in those eight years many houses have been rendered unfit for habitation by decay Present purchasing power the other hand is estimated to be close that of 1929; mortgage rates are low and the FILA has helped to make mortgage money plen- ttiful
 There has it is true, been a striking improvement in building operations within the last two years The F. w. Dodge Corporation reports that building tracts awarded in hrtyseven States in the first five months of this year totaled 193 million square feet, compared with 153 million square feet in the bonding period of 1886 and with 79 million square feet in the same period of 1885. Notwithstanding this m- provement, building activity is far from what it might be- It is still running rate of less than half that in the peak year 1928 in the first five months of which 40 million square feet of contracts were awarded One of the factors holding down the volume of new building is it's high cost While rentals still below the 1929 average building costs already Santially above that level The Standard Statistics Company recently estimated that they had increased on the average by about 12 percent over those pre- vaing at the end of the 1936 season. The Dow Serv ice has calculated that the average wage for thirteen building trades in New York City is now s158 hour The Standard Statistics Company points out that the increase in labor costs is greater than indicated most indexes, these commonly based nominal wage scales rather than on actual wages paid. During the depression period there little observance of union wage scales among union workers, while now the full rate is being insisted upon. There has been in addition decline in labor efficiency, partly because the contractor longer select merely the efficient workers and partly because greater security of jobs has meant relaxation of effort. The result of these increased costs has been recent cancellation of contracts and abandonment of build ing plans.
 The situation in the building industry is illus traton of the fallacy of supposng that economic salvation lies primarily in increased wage rates for special groups Such wages for the most part, passed in higher prices which must be paid by other workers: and when wages in particu lar industry out of line it leads to restriction of activity and employment in that line.
