Northwest DOings
I'm Elkdom

With the Buick all in tune, and
shining SO that you could see your
self in its surface, brother Gus
West, Exalted Ruler of the Puget
Sound Lodge 100, left for Balti-
more Tuesday morning. With him
were Daughters Leftridge and VIII
son, also Miss Audrey Nichols, a
friend of Daughter Wilson, who is
going as a visitor. Gus is not ex-
pected to return before the middle
of September as important busin-
ess is expected to keep him East
at least that long. His passengers
will return by bus or train.
Henry Clay, former deputy pro-
secutor who prosecuted and con-
victed the three former Seattle po-
licemen for murder of Barry Law
son, young Negro waiter who they
found asleep in the lobby of a
downtown hotel, will be a special
guest of Puget Sound Lodge on
September 8. The meeting will be
a joint session and everyone is urg-
ed to be present. Mr.. Agnew, who
defied pressure from many sourc-
es, filed charges and secured a con-
yiction against the policemen, will
tell the inside of that story, which
has many interesting angles. He
also is candidate for prosecuting
attorney on the Republican ticket.
Brother E. r. Chainey, Grand Or
ganizer and Travelling Deputy, will
preside as Exalted Ruler during
the absence of Brother West. Dis
trict Deputy Brother John o. Lew
is will head the Reception Com
mittee of Brothers E. 1. Robinson
and Sam Chenault.
Brother Alex Irwin is going in
for politics in big way this year.

stations and power plants, the pur-
pose being to destroy Canton's use
fitness as a gateway for Chinese
war supplies.
In Spain, also, there was no ces-
sation of the air attacks by Francois
forces on loyalist cities and towns.
Americas condemnation of the
bombing of civilians was contained
in statement by Undersecretary of
State Summer Welles which was is
sued with the approval of President
Roosevelt. It asserted that the
American public considers such
warfare barbarous and appealed for
an immediate end of the practice in
China and Spain. Britain officially
protested against the bombings and
asked the United States to cooper
ate in the formation of neutral
commission to decide whether the
detectives of Spanish rebel air raids
on loyalist territory have any mill
tary character.
About the same time Secretary of
State Hull in a speech at Nashville,
Tenn, expressed the hope of the
United States for disarmament and
the humanizing of war. Summaries
of this address were broadcast
throughout Europe by radio.

farms for wheat loans and for pre-
miums on farms covered by crop in
surance.
Officials of the AAA in Washington
indicated that rates for loans on the
forthcoming wheat crop may range
from 60 to Sc cents bushel, depend
ing on grade and distance from
markets.
Authorized under the new farm
law to set the rates between 81 and
rs per cent of a variety" price,
which government economists have
placed at $1.15 a bushel, the Off
Gals said the 'base" rate, the
amount to be paid on standard
grade of wheat at definite market,
would be close to go cents bushel.
Loan rates will be lower with the
distance from central markets, AAA
spokesman indicating that the loan
rate in western Kansas, for example,
might be as low as 40 or As cents a
bushel.
The AAA is hoping, officials said,
that growers would not approve
rates which would tend to retard
exports by pegging prices above
those in world markets. The aim of
the loan, they pointed out, is to help
farmers withhold surplus wheat to
prevent upsetting of prices.

Waee-Hour Compromise

TONFEREES of senate and house
~ who were trying to draft COM
promise wage-hour bill that both
bodies would accept defied threats
of a filibuster by Southerners and
agreed on wage and hour provi-
sions which met some of the South
erners' demands but left them still
dissatisfied and angry.
Overriding protests that the wage
scale agreed upon will re-estabhsh
the outlawed national recovery ad-
ministration, the conferees adopted
provisions calling for:
Establishment of Is cents per
hour minimum wage for the first
year and increasing to 80 cents In
the second year.
Establishment of industrial boards
and an administrator to fix wages
between 80 cents and the ultimate
goal of 40 cents during the next
five years.
Providing for a fiat Accent mini
mum after seven years unless an
industry gave adequate proof that
such rate was unsound econom-
ically and would Substantially cur
tail employment opportunities"
Establishment of maximum
work week of A hours during the
first year, reducing to AZ hours in
the second year and to 40 hours
thereafter.
The work week would not apply
where union contracts already in eff
feet permit hours in excess of the
maximum fixed in the bill.

charges of politics in relief that
may arise during the 1888 election
campaign. The resolution made no
reference to the Iowa primary in
which Hopkins backed Otha Wearin,
the loser.

WPA administrator, and of James
Roosevelt, the Presidents son and

coran, the Presidents political adj

for Wearin's cause, or perhaps it

Gillette sought denomination for
the senate on platform Of loyalty
to President Roosevelt, but said he
would retain the right to judge each

Propaganda Register

president ROOSEVELT signed
1 a bill to force propagandists for
Nazi, Communist and other So
called un-American groups in the
United States to register with the
secretary of state. The measure
was drafted on recommendation of
a special congressional committee
inquiring into foreign propaganda
activities in the United States and
passed unanimously by both houses.
The bill was said to be regarded as
far-reaching and important by the
White House. 1t carries a penalty
of $1,000 fine or two years impris-
onment, or both, for violations.

ficiency bill an additional billion
dollars for construction of the
worlds largest military plane, and
the Navy department is now ready
to go ahead with the construction of
the monster, which may weigh so
tons. The original model will cost
upward of 100000.
Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook,
chief of the bureau of aeronautics,
said the new plane would exceed
considerably the 5,000-mile range
needed for a nonstop round trip
from San Francisco to Honolulu.
The plane will be partly armored
and will carry a crew of 10 to IA
men. 1t is expected to be the fore
runner of a squadron of Is or more

Smuggling Dogs

Because the borders of European

this trade are constantly devising
new and ingenious methods of get

cd of using dogs to do this is a
clever one. The animals are taken
over the boundary and then re-

commodity secured to them. They

Men Haze Balance
With all due difference to the female of the

record shows that men in public life generally
have better sense Of balance than women in

There is, for instance Senator Borah. Never
in all his long career has Borah had word Of
retaliation or praise for anything said of his
actions in the press. He has been utterly and
magnificently indifferent to the praise and the
jibes.
The freshman CongreSSwoman from Indiana
might we'll profit by the Idaho Senator's example
of how to ''take it," and then remember how
long Mr.. Borah has lasted in public service and
how well he is respected by most newspapermen.

Commissions shoulder.

This was made plain today at
the White House in refutation OF
published reports that Pine had
been "okayed" for the job and
all that remained was the sending
of his name to the Senate for
confirmation.
Pine, however, remained very
much in the running as the sue
cessor to Col. Leslie c. Garnett,
who recently resigned. He is very
favorably looked upon by the De-
partment of Justice.
At the White House today it
was learned that Pine will remain
in the position of Acting District
Attorney, to which the District
Court appointed him following de-
parture of Colonel Garnett from
the office, until such a time that
the Department of Justice COM
pletes a survey of his work.
After the survey is completed,
Garnett's successor will be named
and, from present indications, it
