Kipling it was who wrote Of
Shoes and ships and sealing wax,

is a tale of shoes and kings. And
the man who made the shoes. &.
Back about the year 1877 young
Swedish subject landed in Stock
holm, $50 miles from his home. He
was of an army of men who have
passed quickly from the business
scene today. He was an artisan, a
shoemaker. Into a Stockholm firm,
he went to work. Apprenticed out
for some three years. He learned
quickly in this firm whose orders
included personal orders from the
ROYALTY. On the throne reigned
King Oscar II. His brother was
Gustav, Crown Prince, young man
of 10 years. The young shoeman
was placed on royal order of shoes
that turned out to be for the Prince.
One was a pair of shoes he was to
wear on a trip to England; another
was a pair Of skating shoes. To-
day for both men the picture Is
changed, mellowed In the years. For
the Crown Prince is now the bene-

First in THE Croquet Player then
in "Star-Begotten," and now in THE
Brothers he has produced thrilling
stories which spring from his con-
sidered opinion on matters of deep
est Importance to the modern world.
In this new book he imagines
twin brothers, powerful leaders OF
opposing forces, pitted against each
other In a life-and-death struggle
that is tearing the world apart. He
finds a common ground where they
can meet, brings them together I'M
der circumstances that bring out
their essential. qualities-and allows
fate to take its laundering course.
What happens Is an unforgetable
drama; what might have happened
Is the idea behind the book.
OF the three books which Mr..
Wells has written in this group,
1.-THE Brothers Is by far the most
exciting and the most clearly per-
tinent to the troubled world today.
Every reader will be swept along
by the sequence Of dramatic events,
and the more thoughtful will find in
the theme overtones not soon to be
forgotten.
OKLAHOMA WILDCAT
Augusta "A. B." Weaver
Few Of the many dramatic stor-
les Of the development Of America
are more dramatic than the story
Of oil. Starting in Titusville, Penn
sylvania, oil fever spread through
Ohio and, when "black gold" was
found in the Indian territory which
is now Oklahoma, the passion for
oil assumed the csSsciysmic pro-
portions Of the gold rush Of earlier
days. Men left their families in the
East and followed the call to the
land where wealth flowed out of the
earth in a rich black stream.
Oklahoma Wildcat" Is a story Of
the days when oil was crowned
king. ludwig Zeltner, Jr., son Of a
boss driller of Wood County, Ohio,
follows the first rumor Of oil in
Oklahoma, leaving behind him the
girl he intended to marry. To tell
you the story Of his fight Of recog-
milton, Of his climb to the position
in which he was recognized as one
of the best drillers in the West, the
fortune which he won for himself,
the Indian girl who fell in love with
him and could not understand the
ways of white men, of his half
breed daughter and her identified
ton with the rise to first place of
the Oklahoma DILL fields, would be
to anticipate much or your pleasure
in reading one of the fastest, most
dramatic novels of the season.
Yet oklahoma wildcat" is not, in
any sense of the word, simply an
exciting story of the West. 1t is a
historical novel based upon one of
the most dramatic eras in Ameri-
can history. Augusta "A. B." Weav-
er was born in the Ohio oil fields,
the daughter of just such Penn
sylvania Dutch drilier as is Ludwig
Zeltner. While still child she was
moved to the scene of the newly
developed Oklahoma oil workings
and received her education there.
The background and facts Of COX
lahoma Wildcat" are the back
grounds Of oil history in the U. S.
Of America.

found in the program of the Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission. The Commission al- ready has authorized and is building radio weather and air stations at Anchorage and Fairbanks Now it has decided to establish three in the major chain-at Juneau, Ketchikan and Nome Public Works application has been made to get assistance, the Commission itself having sufficient funds the result of Legislature appropriation to carry the major cost
 It is a fine example of what the Territory can do itself in bringing about it's development. These stations will be Territorial controlled Their purpose is to provide weather reports and other data to aviators. Smaller auxiliary stations will be put in at points of vantage to the fliers Some already are in operation. Communications stations such as these are among the major aids to aerial navigation. They mean safety in the air With two-way radio con- munication aviation has moved from hap-hazard flying scheduled business. The Territory is doing its share to keep abreast
 When Pan American made its first test flight north with the Clipper of the things its officers stressed that would be needed to perfect operations would be more communication stations along the every air line in the north The pilots in these days of scheduled travel must have ground assistance while in the air. That assistance comes through adequate communication stations
 The Territorial Legislature took definite step toward helping Alaska to help itself when it set up the Alaska Aeronautics and Communication Comms sion, and the Commission is proving it's worth

The Native
CNew York Times)


 Vacation in the country-the real country-would be incomplete without the native. The native is a kind of contemporary ancestor. He do all the things our grandparents able to do. He knows where the fish are, whether in salt water fresh and catch them. He predict the weather, sometimes correctly. He knows the trails. He can build fire in the rain. He is acquainted with cur rents rocks and winds If he is real native and not debased imitation he is quietly amused by the summer visitor, but never overawed by him. mat ter how elaborate his worldly trappings He has no exaggerated respect for wealth, power fame. will take away many of the visitors dollars he can conveniently and shrewdly and without loss of his personal dignity but he is flaterer Syco phant The visitor does well not to try any hifalutin airs on him. The native won't stand condescension. His jaw tghtens under it. his eye hardens and begins to wander toward the horizon.
 The native goes to the movies, has radio, owns He is not the rustic of yesterday-he knows all the answers He isn't sorry to be what and where he is He has been to the big city and the elephant If he realizes that he is diminishing element in the population this doesn't bother him He does not feel extinct He does not feel half green in the city as the visitor does in the country He relationship to the earth and its forces which is often uncomfortable but which yields him a good deal of unformulated satisfaction. Sometimes he makes enough out of his summer clients to climb into his rickety about the middle of November and go south for the winter. Let hope that will have the native with for long time to come.

FILA MEETS NATIONWIDE RESPONSE

Few governmental plans for helping the average person have met with greater response than the et forts of the Federal Housing Administration. Since it's inception in 1885, FILA estimates that it has insured or will have insured before the year is out on agreements already made about 22500O new hous- ing units.
 One of the most encouraging factors is the speed up that has occurred in the last few months since Congress increased from 30 percent to 90 percent the housing costs which it may insure.
 Although it has been active for three years the FIIAs current business is running full 100 per- cent above last years and it's weekly volume of mort gages accepted for appraisal" has well into mid summer at a level which FILA authorities ex- pected
 To get down to the actual figures, mortgages ac- cepted for appraisal-of which between 70 and 30 percent are finally insured-are running around S22OOO0O0 week or fairly close to the highest week in the organizations history. That week the final one in May. when the total S24O54OOO which was expected to be about the end of the first half year boom.
 Contrary to expectations, however June figures kept up nearly as well: the first week July pro- duced s22 398000 total the third a figure of s23 8540Oo-the FHAs second best week on record-and the fourth another 100000 worth of business
 On this basis FILA officials expect the current trend to continue through August long after the usual seasonal decline sets in What the usual fall upturn in construction will produce they do not know but they very hopeful
 The response that FILA is meeting throughout the nation is Indicative that it is filling very definite need and more and more people taking advantage Of the liberal terms which making it possible for many to their own homes for the first time. TERRITORY FURTHERING AVIATION
