CHAPTER VII-Continued

Ii
''With Olson? I thought he was
after your mother"
She's after him, you mean. It's
sickening. Now I've been rung into
it. He wants to give big dinner
to celebrate this strike"
''Well?"
'I simply can't sit through par
ty like that. You've got to get me
out of it-tell him that we're going
for an airplane ride, anything. It's
to be Fourth of July night"
"What timer"
"Seven o'clock?"
Thanks for that! ! was afraid it
would be later. I've got to be away
by ten. I've promised to be with
Mckenzie Joe. It's something /
can't break. I simply can't. You'll
let me go by temp"
It was with a bit of pique that
she said good-by to him the night
of Olson's party. Hammond almost
ran from the cottage to his cabin.
Joe already was dressing, funere-
al procedure.
He paved at the buttoning of his
collar, stretching his neck doleful-
ly as he strove to accustom it to
its confines. He peered into the
crinkly mirror and tied his blue tie
with its red polka dots for third
and fourth time. He took his old
hat to the door and brushed it
meticulously; he had forgotten to
order a new one. He rubbed an
other desc of bear grease on his
boots. He put on his electric blue
coat, and gave a hitch to his cleo
trio blue trousers with their I'M
pressed box wrinkles at the knees.
Then he walked dolefully to the
door.
Ready" he asked Jack.
There was quite crowd in front
of the dance hall when they arrived
in Whoopee. At intervals a bomb
hurtled from a mortar into the air
and exploded with a defamation
which threw itself from mountain
peak to mountain peak in seeming
~ ceaseless echoes.
Around the World Annie, resplen-
dent in a dress of star-spangled
bunting, topped by blue-and-white
tricorn, trimmed with a red cock

she shouted. "'Ray for Whoopee!"
"Whoopee YOURSELF" shouted a
miner.
"Took the words out of my
mouth answered Annie, with a
merry little grin. 'Whoopee for you.
Whoopee for me. Whoopee for Alas
ka!"
After time they went inside. An
orchestra began to play, violin, clar-
inets, trombone, cornet and accor-
dion, imported by air from Ju-
neau. AS if from nowhere, girls
appeared, Sinking smilingly toward
the incoming miners. One of them,
Florine, arms half extended, as if
for dancing, placed herself directly
In the path of Mckenzie Joe.
He did not evade her. He did
not brush her aside. He merely put
out a hand and with mournful,
shelving motion, moved her out of
his way. Straight onward he went,
to the bar, and while Jack strove
vainly to restrain him, ordered
Scotch. Then, disdaining the whisky
glass, he raised the bottle-a crock,
in Canadian parlance - in big
hand.
For long moment he eyed it..
His beaverlike eyes circled under
heavy brows. Then he raised the
big bottle to his lips and allowed it
to gurgle until Jack gasped, from
the mere agony of watching.

Labrador Once Unknown

Except for Left Ericson's wander
ings from Greenland down its coast,
Labrador was an unknown hinter-
land until well on into the Nine
teenth century. Traders, Jesuit mis-
sionaries and the Oblate Fathers,

Gus times; but it remained for ex-

Women on Juries

Twenty-one states and the Dis

foI jury service. In nine states,
California, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wiscon-
sin, the duty is compulsory, and
women render service on the
same terms as men. In ten states,
Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas,
Louisiana, Nevada, North Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, and
Washington, and in the District Of
Columbia, their service is per-
missive.

Take the controversy over the re-

plain that the house feels that Mr..
Roosevelt does not require billion

But the house apparently does not
have the courage to take an out and
out position in accordance with its
conviction. So it is trying to dodge
the real issue by holding out for a
provision in the bill that would set
aside half a billion of the total for
use exclusively on permanent pub

public works administrator. (Secre-

The House backed Secretary Of

Supreme Court members. These were
lightened some years ago by authoriz-
ing the court in its discretion to refuse
to hear appeals in many classes Of
cases. This discretion is so freely ex-
ercised. he continued. that in the last
fiscal year although 867 petitions for
review were presented to the court, it
declined to hear TIT cases.
Many Of the refusals were doubtless

can it be said that full justice Is

sheer necessity Of keeping up with its
business to decline, without even an

One Of his recommendations to
Congress was that the Supreme Court
be given power to appoint an admin
istrative assistant, a proctor. This
proctor would be charged with the
duty Of watching the calendars and
the business Of all the Federal courts.

on charges Of selling meat and fowls

are ii cases involved.
The defendants are Harry Prince.

Robert Klevit, Alb Fourth street south

demanded jury trial in each Of i've
cases, while Klevit, charged with six
cases, entered not guilty pleas, but
asked for time to consult an attorney
before deciding how he wished to be
tried.
AT the request Of Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Rice Hooe, Judge
Mcmahon set bond at $l00 in each
of the cases against Prince and a total
of $500 for the six cases against
Klevit.
Short weights in the Prince case
ranged from 10 ounces to more than
a pound, it was alleged. Klevit was
charged in cases ranging from 3 to
IL ounces short. The cases were made

The Justice Department assented
today to a Supreme Court review in
volving constitutionality OF the Law
which bars sale Of shotguns, machine
guns and silencers to the underworld.
The case was taken to the court by
Max Sonzinsky of East st. Louis, III,
convicted last year of selling a sawed
of shotgun although he was not a
licepsed dealer.
While contending other questions
presented by Sonzinsky lacked sufi-
cient substance to warrant a review,
Solicitor General Stanley Reed. in his
memorandum to the court, welcomed
an opportunity for decision on valid
ity Of the firearms act.
The Law taxes weapons dealeys
5000 to $500 year and requires pur-
chasers to register arms. Its expan-
sion to include revolvers and auto
matics will be sought.

ernment by injunction lays a heavy

no important statute can take ef-
fect-against any individual or or.
ganization with the means to en-
ploy lawyers and engage in wide
flung litigation-until it has passed
through the whole hierarchy Of the

postponing the effective date Of acts

more and more to constitute a

Hopes Expressed In
Annual Message.
This state Of affairs has come
upon the Nation gradually over
period of decades. In my annual
ulCCS6BC W bAlLo SrOA6AOno SA
pressed some views and some hopes.
Now, as an immediate step. I
recommend that the Congress pro-
vide that no decision. injunction,
judgment or decree on any con-
stitutional question be promulgated
by any Federal court without
previous and ample notice to the
Attorney General and an oppor-
tunity for the United States to
present evidence and be heard.
This is to prevent court action
on the constitutionality of acts Of
the Congress in suits between pri.
vate individuals, where the Gov.
ernment is not a party to the suit,
without giving opportunity to the
Government Of the United States
to defend the law of the land.

Too Many Names

WALT DISNEY finds that success
has brought him one minor
handicap: His organization has grown
by such leaps and bounds that he no
longer is able to call his employees
by their first names.

accomplish this neat trick, and 1t was
not hard considering that his stan
numbered less than hundred. Things
began to change about five years back
with the phenomenal success of 1.-THE
Three Little Pigs" Expansion set
in, more artists and technicians were
put on-and Disney lost the knack
of greeting his personnel in the
friendly way he likes.
In 1884 initial work was begun on
the first full-length animated pro-
duction, Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs." More artists were hired
till they numbered close to 900.
