He had a black eye.
There was always something about
him that you hadn't expected. Some
thing that upset you. Margit looked.
She had been sitting on the veran-
dah of the Swan Inn for half an hour
shaking like leaf Now that she
had reached its last curtain-she could
admit it had been love. She had
loved him. Briefly, furiously, unrea-
soningly. He was a criminal. He was
going to spend the rest of his life in
a prison. She would send him there.
So it didn't matter-if she allowed
herself the small, poignant relief of
telling herself that for SO unforget-
table hours she had been in love.
Nothing mattered now.
Just business. The fashion busi-
ness. And the tricky, dangerous busi-
ness at hand. Well-she had nerved
herself for it.
He stood there-looking boyish--
and with black eye.

The voice sounded familiar. But

UNEMPLOYMENT AND ALASKAN
 PUBLIC WORKS

Alaska has an annual unemployment situation pee ar to herself of which it is we'll the Federal author ties at Washington should be fully informed in order that they give favorable consideration to the appca Territory.
 , Throughout the Territory there more job seek CTS than there jobs Each spring and summer many men and percentage of women come from the States seeking work in Alaska, and especially in the larger towns
 Tie towns are in no position to care for the surplus overflow from the States which comes this way Once the job seeker arrives here, he is far from his Id base and in no position to obtanrelief under alloments corded communities of his former domice Merchants in Alaskan ceners unable to extend credit to the transens-and in this land of high costs of living the newcomer finds himself in most embarrassing posi- ton.
 Every train coming into Fairbanks brings men at this time of the year Already there many who fail to find employment, many of whom passed the win ter here Adding the new arrivals to the winter ist the total reaches formidable figure. . Gold mining operations and developments in Alaska unquestionably booming, but notwithstanding this fact such enterprises cannot absorb the army of who induced by reports of such activities to this way.
 To take of the horde of unemployed voluntarily coming this way it IS necessary that Alaskan cOnun ties receive generous share of the PWA funds allotted under the relief emergency provisions In order to get those aloments for Fairbanks and other towns, evidence must be forthcoming that there many here needing work It therefore behooves every job seeker in this vicinity to enroll with the Fairbanks city clerk
 If the city can show reason it should receive funds for purpose of helping the unemployed it will receive the grants it desires for the civic projects conem plated here It is in the interest of every unemployed person in this vicinity to go the city clerk and enroll at once-Fairbanks News Miner.

Iby giving automatic warnings to careless drivers.
 Certain embossed designs on the iron blocks would give off comfortable and soothing hum when motor iss tires passed them But if the driver got too close to the edge of the road ventured over the wrong side, this hum would immediately rise to a shr screech This would assai the drivers eardrums, bring him to his wths, and induce him to get over where he belonged without delay.
 The invention sounds excellent, and most of us, no doubt would be very glad to see it adopted And yet, when you stop to think about it, isn't there something almost grotesque about this business of looking for an automatic warning to tell us when fooliShly risk ing our necks?
 That is to say that any driver who has moderately good eyesight, two hands, speaking acquaintance with the art ot driving and enough common sense to get in out of the rain, knows without being told when he is driving on the wrong side of the road and when he is not.
 If he is much as half awake he can tell when he too close to the edge of the pavement when he over Tn the lane reserved for oncoming traffic. He needs an automatic signal about much as seagul needs pontoons.
 And yet some thousands of people get killed every year because motorists do drive the wrong part of the pavement; and mature scientist finds it worth his while to go to the trouble of nventing this warning device.
 And there we are. We are asking to be saved from ourselves We want the highways along with the rest o the world to be fooproofed and seems to occur to that this wouldn't be necessary if we could just act with dash of intelligence.
 Is it too much to hope that may eventually wake up and discover that this kind of salvation like the scriptural kind, begins S.h the individual ?

 For that seems to be what we up to these days We face world which is forever compelling the ind- vidual to survive through his effrts, and demand that it be made foolproof And, because that is inn possible, go to the waling wall and cry that life is hard, times are bad, and things in general are in mess.

I'D Rather Be Right" the anti-Roose-
welt musical show given pro- Roosevelt
bias by George M. Cohan's incompar-
able performance in the presidential
role, had one of the most luxurious
openings in theatrical history. 1t can
hardly be said that the drama has gone
in for extravaganzas of the Ziegfeid-
White-C Carroll ere this year. At the
same time it assuredly cannot be
thought that the stage is In such q
trying situation that 1t has been driven
under cover and must hide out some
where in the suburbs. In a word or
two, I cannot offer you any simple
declarative reason why the theater this
season should be at its most provocative
In its unostentatious bypaths.
As a matter of fact, it would be an
objectionable exaggeration to make
any such statement without careful
reservation. For it happens that the
best new play Of the year was pre-
sented, not by q dramatic organization
that goes in for ardent esthetic ideals,
but by . producer who, despite his
superior taste and intelligence, is
known chiefly for his commercially
minded guile. It is hardly necessary
to add that the producer is Sam H.
Harris, and that his play is John Stein
beck's brilliant "Of Mice and Men." +"
Being grimly determined to be fair in
almost all things, should likewise
report that such valuable contributions
to the season as Golden Boy and
Father Malachy's Miracle" and such
entertaining presentations as "Am-
phitryon 3S," "Hooray for What!" and
French without Tears" were offered
by producers who, even though they
may represent such estimable organ

Group Theater. now belong pretty

NEVERTHELESS, 1t is those boys
up the side alleys Of the drama

a handsome warning to the theater's

them, rather openly, that in q pinch
all of us who are still enthusiastic
for the theater could somehow or other
do without them. I certainly hope
that we will not have to do any such
thing, but at least we realize that any
such lookout will not be necessarily
fatal.
There is, however, one discouraging
note about any such challenge. AL
