lilly MAJORS dog, Rex,

rather a thrilling chapter in one of
his more recent antics.
Rex, If you don't remember having
heard it before, is about as large as
the State of Rhode Island. He is
Great Dane to the tip Of his tail, but
sometimes he forgets the dignity that
goes with size and pedigree. Such
was the case the other day when Rex,
getting off an elevator, got Whit Of
hamburgers in a package carried by
a man getting on an adjoining car.
With one bound, Rex was on the car
and with one flip of his great body his
forepaws were on the mans shoulders.
1t was quite tussle, but Rex was
taken out of there without q bite

DOMINANT ISSUES

Editorial writers try to choose topics that will interest their read CTS. An analysis of what 400 larger papers selected as subjects of edi- torials on a given day. therefore. in- dicates what they. rightly or wrong ly. consider the dominant subjects of nationwide interest.
 Two weeks ago, the 400 papers in question apparently found a5 the subjects of greatest interest:
 President Rooseyelt's plan for re- organization of the federal judiciary with 222 editorials on this subject.
 Labor questions, with Us edi- torials.
 Foreign questions. principally re- lating to the dangers of war. with 1O3 editorials Of these the Span ish civil war drew twenty-nine edi- torials, German affairs twenty, Brit ish thirteen, Russian and Japanese nine each. Other were principally discussions of international hazards.
 Second string subjects Of edi- torial comment, with less than 100 comments each, included state legis- latiYe and fiscal affairs. national fi- nancial affairs, floods and means of avoiding them. aviation and traffis accidents, foreign trade, social se- curity and business conditions.
 It is a healthy sign that the pub lie interest is so varied, even though this anaIvSis failed fo take into Oc- count the state and local issues that touch the average citizen more di- Eeetly than the supreme court. the General Motors strike. and the civil war in Spain.

WHY THE HANGOVER?

The hangover. a not uncommon physical phenomenon, has been un- der investigation at the medical school of the University of Virginia. According to report in the Scien- tific Monthly the stimulus of alco- hol causes the nerves to swell, and when this happens inside a skull that will not expand the headache comes on. The experiments have been made with living tadpoles, and the results may be usefully inform ative to occasional human tipplers. But hot towels and ice packs don't come in sizes small enough for tad poles, so it's only fair to hope that they, too, may find some comfort in telling one another what a good time it was while it lasted-Seat- tie Times.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER.
 (By J. C. Eeles. secretary " to Delegate Dmond)
(By J. c. Eceles, Becreta

Tn connection with the visit oi Hon. Mckenzie King. Prime Minis ter of the Dominion of Canada. in Washington this week to discuss trade matters between the United States and Canada. Senator SchWell- enbach and Delegate Dimond joined in a request to the President to use this occasion to speed arrangements tending toward early construction of the part of the International High way that will connect Alaska through western Canada with the United States.
 Great Possibilities
 The Delegate said that in his opinion the Highway project holds the greatest possibilities for general development of both northwestern Canada and Alaska of anything that could now be undertaken. He also pointed out that building the High way will greatly strengthen the ad- mirable bonds of friendship and sympathy, both economic and moral. that have always existed between the two countries.
 It is understood that the location and construction of the Highway is now being held up only on account of the problem of financing that part of the road that will be in British Columbia and Yukon Tern tory. As this is the longest section of the route that will probably be chosen for the Highway the larger part of the cost will result from this construction, and since it is appar- ent that Alaska and the United States will enjoy a greater benefit through the completion of the High way than Canada will, the view has been advanced that our Government can properly cooperate in financing part of the Canadian construction.
 President Sympathetic
 It is known that the President is sympathetic toward construction of the proposed Highway and is is hoped that the PremieTs call at the White House will result in some thing substantial being accomplish ed in getting the work under way Senator Schwellenbach, Dr. Gruen- ing. and Delegate Dimond have aiso tried to arrange for a conference with Premier King upon his return to Washington a week or two later.
 At a lecture given in Constitution Hall in Washington this week, Fath- CT Bernard Hubbard gave an accur- ate picture of Alaska as it is The Glacier Priest. as he is generally known, did much to dispel the idea so many people have that the Terri tory is an icy barren and told of the modern cities, the prodpciI g farms, the industries and the natur- al resources that are really repres- entative. In speaking of the colony at Palmer, he said that many un- founded rumors have drifted back to the States about the project, but that the land is good enough for the people if the people are good enough for the land" The lecture was illustrated with sound pictures

A group of progressive citi- zens, sensing the need of better ia cilities for educating the young peo- pie of the town, worked year after year to obtain the passing of a pond issue. Finally in 193O the building was constructed and since then has been the pride of the town.
 And now the money has been ap- bropriated for our inner harbor dredging. Was this secured without an effort? The answer to this is as plain as the answers to the above questions. No, indeedi Much work and patience were needed to obtain it.
 Now there are other improveme" . we want and need. This year, as in years past. there will be many thoa- sands of dollars appropriated for use in the First Division.

Delegate Dimond introduced in the House a bill to amend the Federal Home Owners Loan Act with res peet to the Territory of Alaska
 The Act makes provision for the organization of Federal savings ard loan associations and recently one such association. the Alaska Federal Savings and Loan Association of Jul neau, was organized in the Territory of Alaska. it's home office being To- cated at Juneau. The Act provides that any such organization may lend it's funds only upon the security of it's shares or on the security of first liens upon homes or combina- tion of homes and business property within fifty miles of it's home Of flee. This limitation is entirely sal isfactory in thickly settled commuu- ities but is deemed unsuitable for Alaska since. after careful canvass, it has not been found possible 70 organize more than one such asosci- ation in the Territory. Accordingly. the amendment now proposed by the Delegates bill will permit such an association, within the discreation I the Home Loan Bank Board. to loan money upon the security of homes and business property anywhere in Alaska.

For the past week the House Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries has had under considera- tion a proposed amendment 10 the Act approved June 25, 1886, to pro- mote the welfare of American sea men and to further insure the safety of life and property at sea. Last year it was discovered at the Committee that certificates of discharge issued to seamen under the former law were altered and forged by the tens if not hundreds of thousands and that as a consequence, as in the case of the Morro Castle, men pres ented certificates and were employ ed on ships as seamen who had never been to sea.
 Discharge Books
 In order to prevent such occurren- ces in the future, the Act of l936 contained a provision requiring con tinuous discharge books which give the name, age and Identification da- ta of the seamen and in which the shipping commissioners and collec- tors and deputy collectors of customs are required to enter at the end of each voyage the record of the sea mans service on the ship. At the time of the passage of the Act the continuous discharge books were re-
