Street scene: A Federalite a few
days ago was pedestrianizing down
Fourteenth Street. He reached
Constitution Avenue Cheading for
Agricultural and started to cross
when a right-turning auto whizzed
around in front of him Cat high
speed and forced him to hur-
riedly step back on the curb
The Federalite'S lips moved visibly
as he experimental by saying:
Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of the party"
The autoist roared back: GO
to HadeS yourself!"

Philip Morris Advances
8 Points; Motors Gain

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 q.N.SD
The stock market turned upward
today after giving ground at the
start in a continuation of yeSter'
days recession.
EARLY declines were small, and
these were erased and gains sub
stituted when a moderate demand
for leading issues developed short
ly after the opening. Gains in
leaders ran to around a point
while Philip Morris spurted 8
points.
MOTORS LEAD ADVANCE
Motor shares were among the
leaders of the advance. General
Motors, after a fractional dip,
worked up for point gain.
Chrysler substituted a gain of
nearly a point for loss Of as
much. Automobile accessories
rose EARLY, led by Briggs.

a painstaking job at best, and in
the lower corner was the inscrlp-
ton, My life is woven here"
How much like life was that
tapestry. We start with a slender
thread and in the years to come
we will have either good or a
bad tapestry of ourselves. Our
home, church, school and profes-
sion bound the four sides of the
loom on which we must weave.
We should. early in life, choose
HONESTY. TRUTH and FAITH
for our warp that we may have a
firm foundation then our Weav-
ing will not be in vain. The beauty
of our handiwork will depend on
its perfection. DUTY, OBEDI-
ENCE and RESPONSIBILITY
might seem dull and drab during
the weaving process but they be-
come the natural eolors that give
BRILLIANCY to the finished
product.
Be careful of unkind words and
selfishness. for they may be the
KNOTS that creep in and tangle
our thread. Substitute yarns"
are to be avoided. The pattern
is always standard, for the ORIG.

centuries ago by the MASTER
WEAVER and has always remained
the same.
WATCHES YOUNGSTERS
Each day as the "old Skipper"
watches eager youngsters pouring
their very heart into the things
they WANT to do we think Of this
tapestry. Each day they are weav-
ing more Of the design and as the
years pass a chosen few will be
held to view as shining examples
for others to follow.
During our additions In the
studios of WJSV a few strands are
being woven into the final design.

Their eyes followed her to the
tea kettle standing on the gas

peered around the policeman

IMMACULATE
It was immaculate, that kitchen,
and no one had to tell it was Tom
Desmond who kept 1t that way.
"He always set that kettle to
boil for her with the tea waiting
in the pot so all she had to do was
pour the water over it and take
her cup back to bed with her.
Seems like she had to have her tea
the first thing in the morning or
she got faint or something" Mrs.
Duggan's lip frightened.
"I1l say!" Mrs. Tepper's laugh
came halfway between scorn and
hysteria. well it killed her,

Topper bridled.

voice and there was Mrs. RuSkin

the first floor. "You shouldn't say
those things. You shouldn't"
She held out the small antelope
bag they recognized as Lenore

ALASKA TO BENEFIT BY NAVAL BILL

The billion dollar naval expansion bill appears to be on its way to passage. The House yesterday passed it by top-heavy favorable vote, sending it spike the measure have been made but, probably in view of the armament in the rest of the world so far they have met with little success.
 There probably are fairly sound arguments aga.est too great expenditure for war machinery, but j4~gi 5 from the lop-sided vote in the House the Congressmen th.nk them at least untlmely, particularly with the situation existing across bc<h the Paoilc and Atlantic
 wn.ie Az. voics .a the matter is less than vote in the House as cur own Territorial Delegate does not have the privilege of the Territory has
 vital and primary interest in the naval bill and the general naval program It is the Navy that Alaska must look to- along with the entire Pacific Coast, for it's first and major line of defense Our thousands of miles of coast line which in the far north not be adequately protected without the service of powerful naval force Without it readily become the victim of invading force from the west or north-and the latter direction is no idle Thought considers what has transpired in the way of airplane flights in the last few years.
 The naval program being given action in Congress means that Alaska naval defense activity, already under way will be expanded. The naval bases planned but awaiting funds for development. probably will be pushed along; naval defense of the Pacific from Alaska to Hawaii will come to have a meaning other than the tentative program it has been for so many years

NeWton.' It is intriguing idea. But for every geneticst who will share this view it pro bably possible find three four others who admit biologists and psychologists not far enough along in their field know with certainty who should be mated with whom to bring about of supermen
 Even granting that genetics has reached this point of competence there insurmountable diff culies Our troubles today not much in the lack intelligent leaders in the fact that persons will not listen to them It is equally true that inteli gence has been put at the service of evil almost often as at the service of human happiness One needs only to consider the tremendous contribution of science to the art of war-the art of murder how inadequate sheer intellect in the ordering of human affairs
 Tine ambitious application of genetcs today is probably in Germany. There actual effort is being made to prevent the reproduction of the unfit and to encourage the multiplication of good strains.

Family Size Shrinks

Relief authorities multiply the number of home relief clients by 39 to get the total number of benefciaries other words the standard family now consists of 39 persons In 1930 the average 4l 1920 it was 4.3, in 1910 it 45 We two years away from the 194o census but the experts apparently have decided that the regular decennal shrinkage of two decimal points the size of the family already taken place. Decimal points not so impressive as actual figures. A little quarter of century ago in 1910 group of 100 families would have com- prised 450 persons. Today they would be only 39O
 Still this average American family a reminder that averages often little in social problems For instance. in 1880, have said, the average family had shade four persons. Actually there were more than twenty million families in the nation having four members or less-ncluding nearly two and a half million families consisting of one person
 But in 1930 there were also about three and a half million families of seven persons more Seventy percent of all American families, having four mem bers less accounted for only 45 percent of the popu ation of the country. The small family is represen- tatye and average because it comprises three of every four American families But the problems arising out of unemployment and social protection chiefly concerned with the family in every four that is not typical or average.
