Movement Nome Radio Station
 Was Discussed

The Chamber of Commerce met for lunch and business meeting at Cavey's Cafe Tuesday noon. Aftsr a pleasant lunch, the meeting was called to order by Chairman Leroy Sullivan, & the minutes of the previous meet ings read by Secretary A. Polet. Dick Lees application for mem bership was considered and .ap- proved.
 The guests entertained by the Chamber included Donald Bald win, of New York city, Sam Hendricks who is in charge of the Reindeer Service at Unala- kleet, and Samuel Clements, ter ritorial sanitation engineer. All three men expressed their app1'e- citation of Alaskan hospitality. MT. Baldwin remarked that he felt that Alaska's possibilities as a summer resort could be greatly developed through cooperation with Canada, and the establish ment of a direct air route from Chicago thru Canada, Fairbanks and Nome. Such route Would put the territory in close contact with the population centers of the East and middle West and cut out the long cross-contlnent trip which is now necessary for a visit to Alaska.
 MT. Clements, who took the place of MT. Grimes, is making his first trip 10 Nome. He stress ed the importance of more ef- ficient and sanitary method of garbage and sewage disposal, re. ferring particularly to the clut- tered condition of our beach.
 Mr. Polet read the communica- tion received from Secretary Ickes, and also gave the financial report for the stone lay ing ceremony. The Chamber agreed to foot half the expense of the ceremony, while the city will pay the othsr half. Secre- tary Polet was authorized to buy a guest book in which to keep a record and the signatures of all people entertained by the Cham Der.
 Mayor Alvin Polet brought up the matter of the proposed mov- ing of the entire radio station equipment to the new Federal Building. According to original plans, the Signal Corps were giv- en space for an office in the building for the convenience of the public, but the transmitters and other high powered equip ment would remain in the pres

ent station and be operated by remote control. The moving of the transmitters into the town would effectively blanket all re- ception for individual radio units and while we now suffer consid- erably from radio interferences, it is better to get occasional re- ception than none at all.
 MT. Sandegren read a telegram which he had sent to Washing ton, dl:aling with the advisabili- ty of moving the station, in whi- oh he pointed out the structural difficulties of such a change. Several more rooms would have to be devoted to the Signal Corps which is inadvisable, as this space is required by other de- partments. The construction of radio phone booth, the cutting of an additional service window, and other changes would also be necessary, which it would be diff ficult to make as the inside fin ishing is well underway. The building is not suitably insulated for static charges, and has in sufficient sound proofing to pre- vent annoyance to other offices,
 In addition to these inside diff faculties presented by the change, t would be necessary to con- struct antenna on all sides of the building, and place a roof of high powered wires. The Waather ac- tivities would be interferred with, particularly the sending up of balloons.
 Other members of the Chamber sXpressed their diSapproval of the change, and it was moved and carried to appoint commit tee to communicate taiS d.sapp~o val to the Seattle Office of .fe U. s. Signal Corps and to Wash ing, D. C., if necessary.
 The committee to investigate the possibilities of construction of large hotel in Nome is as follows: A. Polet, chairman: c. R. Jackson, O. s. Weaver Alfred Lomen and Andrew Sandegren.
 Charles Code was elected chair man of the rules committee and ex-officio director, by a unanin- ous vote of the Chamber mem bers. This post has been open since the resignation of MT. Jack son, which was accepted some weeks ago.
 MT. Sprenger requested that something be done about secur- ing lights for the harbor, as th.2 nights are becoming dark and the construction work going on on the jetty increases the danger to small boats, tugs and barges. It was decided that the Chamber call the attention of the Light house Service to the matter.
 As there was no further busi- ] ness and the hour spent, the meet ing was adjourned. 1

Louella got up and went to the
window. She stood looking out over
the garden. The snow had gone. The
world was sodden and cold and green
again. but already in the beds the
first spikes of the snow drops we're
poking through. Spring stirred in its
sleep. And in Louellas heart some
thing stirred too. that had slept a

heavy weights, to exert himself. Yet
he had done just that - risked his

A fat man lay sprawled on the
floor A great bruise spread all down
one side of his face. On the floor beside
him lay stout poker with knob at
the head. The Doctor knelt. making a
swift examination The blows had not
been very severe ones. The mans
condition had been such that very
little would finish him off. He stood
surveying the scene, trying to picture
what had happened. The window was
closed. the curtains drawn. He went
out, quietly closing the door.
Louella was waiting for him in
little back sitting room, full of flowers,

Its much, much worse than that"
She burst into tears. He sat on the
settee beside her. She leaned against
his shoulder, not knowing in her
misery what she was doing
He was my husband" she said.
He sickened, remembering that
fabby figure, the blotched skin.
She told him the whole story, be-
ginning at the beginning. Beginning
at the room prepared for party.
Lace curtains looped up. Roses. and
music, and flowers, and little foun-
tain playing, and the Englishman who
loved and rode away. And she told
him how, when she knew her baby
was coming, she had advertised for
someone to marry her, and give it a
name, for lump sum down, never to
see her again, and how she had found
Ed Seebright, who in those days had
nice open face. The baby had died.
And she told Kit how, when she
grew famous, Ed had come back, and
lived on her ever since, blackmailing,
till faithful Lilli could stand it no
more . After all it was not so hard to
tell Kit, once she got started. He was
a doctor. He knew things happened.
He would give advice, and not dis
pense blame.
He saw the French maid Lilli after

done Her face was flushed. her breath

you do something? Can't you help
me? l wouldn't mind if it was me.
I've been sick and tired of it all for
years. but Lilli. good old faithful
Lilli, to get dragged into it like this"
He looked at her. He had prayed
for his hour, and it had come. He said,
"Will you leave this entirely to me?
Will you trust me. and do exactly

But what are you going to do?"
