fact. And, mind you, the Supreme
Court will face that fact!"
Those words were spoken quietly
in the Senator's office few months
before the Supreme Court did just
the thing he said it was going to do
1t upheld the Wagner labor law
and broadened it's view of interstate
commerce to do SO.
But don't get the idea that Hugo
Black is going to the Supreme Court
and trample down the rights of the
states and try to create an ogre of
a central government. No such
thing, if he carries out that pet
ides.
Easy on small Towns
He believes rural and small town
America should have the right to
determine how and when it shall
keep up with the commercial parade
along the national arteries.
The corner grocery and the bar

stance, should yield only to local
public opinion when it comes to
wages and hours.
Consequently, all the liberal la
Dor legislation sponsored by the Ala
bama leader has avoided laying a
heavy hand on small town America
He says that's true of the 30-hour
week bill that he failed to get
through the Senate for five years.
Likewise he thinks the wage and
hour law he succeeded in getting
through the Senate this year, will
not abruptly alter the lives and bus
mess of millions of Americans who
love their small town homes.
All Of this philosophy has not
been easy to explain to the voters
who sent Black to the Senate.
In Alabama it is easier to talk
about the Civil War and local is
sues than 1t is to demand the 30
hour week for the men who make
steel in the furnaces of Briming-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Like a
lot of other folks, Hugo Black has
a pet idea
He thinks old Dame Democracy
can go modern without losing her
place in the hearts of the American
people. ''
But unlike most of US, Hugo Black
doesn't stop with the idea He has
tried to prove he's right.
Whether he has succeeded is a
matter Of opinion But at least he
has fought to keep old Lady De-
mocracy sin STYLE" and consequent
ly won nomination to the United
States Supreme Court and was con-
firmed.
He Cites an Example
About that idea:
Senator Black believes the Ian
guage of the Constitution is sound
enough and broad enough to fit
modern economic conditions. with
out tampering. In his opinion, the
whole thing is a matter of interpre-
tation by the Supreme Court
His favorite example is interstate
commerce, that underlined some
thing which the Constitution says
the Congress shall regulate.
when our country was young
there was very little commerce
among the states" explains the
champion of advanced labor legis-
lation. ,..... ..;.....--.... ........
IN fact, the roads were SO bad
interstate commerce on a large scale
was impossible. but nov some sta
'tisticians contend 90 per cent of
our commerce is interstate.
Anybody can see that much of
our trade Is carried on nationally
without regard for state lines; so
why should we not state the thing
in SO many words, and proceed
to have Congress regulate it?
All we have to do is face the

"HE term "moth-repelling pa

admit, and does not mean that
Il an average room papered with
this material will act as an impreg-
nable fortress against the onslaughts
of those creatures. It Goes mean,
however, that you can take an ordi-
nary closet and paper its walls with
new material now on the market,
and you will immediately have fine
cedar closet. And for some reason
or other those clothes-destroying pests
detest the odor Of cedar while they
are busily making holes in your best
clothes.
This new wall paper looks like

instead Of being placed IN the form
Of planks you buy 1t in rolls and put
1t up like wall paper. 1t smells like
cedar and after 1t is In place you
have as efficient cedar closet as
could be obtained using the real thing.
1t can also be used to line drawers,
and make them an unpleasant place
for moths to try their handiwork.
IF YOU have had to go up around

Gently you have more than likely
noticed the large amount OF heat
which is hanging around up there

enough heat up there out of reach to
heat couple of extra rooms, but
there is little or nothing you can do
about it.
To correct this unfortunate condi-

NOME PASSENGERS HAVE THRILL OF LIVES WHEN PLANE NOSES OVER
 AT FAIRBANKS

A definite argument for better airfield maintenance was seen to- day when the PAA Electra nosed over into a snow bank with five passengers.,N No one was injured, says the Fairbanks News-Miner of Feb. 18th, just received. The big ship was on wheels, taxing down the runway cleared by the PAA, when one wheel hit into snow that had drifted onto the runway. This turned the airplane into deeper snow, and eased it completely over. The accident occurred on the west end of the field where the plane nosed over, and capsized on the south side of the runway.
 No One Hurt
 Neither Pilot Robbins nor Co., pilot Hall were hurt, according to Joe Crosson, manager of the PAA in Fairbanks.
 The plane was taking off for Whitehorse and Juneau, where there is no snow for landing, so it was using wheels instead of skis.
 Fairbanks should have better field maintenance to prevent this sort of difficulty MT. Crosson said. The plane operators have been maintaining a narrow run way for ships on wheels.
 Plenty of Room
 There is plenty of room avail ! able for the maintenance of dou- ble runways, for either wheels or skis.
 Under normal conditions the PAA runway is adequate.
 The wings of the Electra were not damaged in this mornings turnover. Passengers were: Miss A. Leo John Tomrik, MT. and Mrs. Ross J. Kinney and Mrs. B. J. McCon- aghy.

 Don't forget that when the noon whistle is immediately fol lowed by three blasts, that means that the pictures are to be taken in one hour at the igloo just west of the Snake River jetty.
 The public and especially child ren is requested not to experi- ment with the strength of the snow igloo, or to cause it any damage, as considerable work would be necessary to again place it in readiness for the picture shots.

while filming the pictures. This igloo has been built under the supervision of George Taggart and is made in true Eskimo style of snow blocks only. There will be a stove in the igloo where the girls can warm up.
 Since the weather and photo graphic conditions will have to be favorable before the pictures can be taken and as this cannot be determined in advance, ar engagements have been made with Chief Laws as follows: On the first favorable day after this no- tice when the photographic con ditions are right, the fire station whistle will add three blasts right after the regular noon whistle. This will serve as a sig nal to all who are to take part in the filming of the pictures that they are to be on location at the igloo in one hour-or at 1 pm. of that day.
