looking toward the big fellow beside him. was
amazed when the man tucked in his chin and
began to give forth sonorous bass grumblings.
1t was in fact as though one grandiloquent
gesture had swept away the lodged hatred of
the villagers.
Harry Grant fell into musings 50 profound
ing in the next moments until he was aware
of the hand of Muriel on his arm as she whis-
pered: shall we go, Harry"
Then he looked about him more clearly
and saw that the congregation in single file
was forming from the back of the church and
passing by the coffin of the dead old man for
a last look into his face; and it seemed to
Grant that without looking he knew that face
as well as the features which he studied every
day in his own shaving mirror.
He said: yes let's get out"
Beyond the church, the air felt good to
him. A pair of children went Logging down
the street barefooted, with sky-high voices.
and he looked after them as though he had
come out of sickroom and were looking on
the sunlit, green, and noisy world of life for
the first time in many weeks They were bury
ing old Walters, but something of himself
seemed to lie dead, back there in the old
church.
There was bench under the trees at the
edge of the green. He sat heavily on it and the
girl, after a moment, slumped down beside
him. He looked no higher than the fringe of
her skirt, which the wind was swishing back
and forth, as he said: did you see the widow
Muriel?"
NO." said the girl did you . i. poor,
poor thing!'
IF you didn't see her, why did you sing?"
he asked
"Iwas always taught to sing the hymns.
Did it make me conspicuous, Harry" she
asked. anxiously.
you? =. . You've had lot of fathering
and mothering, haven't you?" he asked.
She was silent, not knowing what to say
to please him.
Conspicuous" he went on, the words
coming slowly, at great distance behind his
thoughts. why, suppose there were five
hundred people who looked at you, back
there in the church"
I'm sorry. Dear. I'm 50 sorry!" said the
girl.
Quit it, will you?" asked Grant.
He could feel his sharp words strike her
into silence.
''You didn't see the widow" said Grant,
"butI saw her. She looked as white as an old
bone She looked like an old bone that the
dogs had sharpened their teeth on for years.
But she was sad, Muriel. That damned old
skinlint - she loved him Her voice.
What did her voice make you think of"
1T made me think" said the girl. We'll

small baby. before it has much breath for
its voice.
Its queer thing. " said Grant Il thought
of baby crying too"
He looked helplessly at the girl. and she
at him. There was real astonishment in
her face.
Its made you sad, Harry" she said.
IAN old rat dies in a corner" answered
Grant, ''and out of FIVE hundred people, you
and the widow are the only mourness. And
then thought - a good woman can love any
man, no matter what hound he is. Good
women, they're such damned fools that they'll
get down on their knees 50 they can look up
to their man
He slipped from the bench and dropped to
his knees ON the grass before her.
"You can't look up to me now, he said.
Darling, what are you doing?" she pleaded,

the mforward A sizeable list of such projects are now in position for application, and it was noted at Friday nights Council meeting that Juneau is not overlooking it's opportunities
 Mayor Lucas and the Council are lining up group of minor projects which would be of great benefit to the city and which might be able to undertake
 if city finances shape up to warrant the expenditure Among these are the extension of couple of streets out on the tdefats which would mean more adequate fire protection for that section of the city; consruc ton of sidewalks at several places and street improve ments in Scatter tract well in two or three other locations Paving Wiloughby Avenue is being con- sdered and other timely and needed benefits to Juneau
 The Council is to be commended for proceeding along sensible and intelligent lines. The kind of
 jobs it is considering the which go year after year without attention and result retard general growth and building in the community. As individual projects they don't amount to much and that is prob ably why heretofore they have never had much at tention We get along without them with the result that the tendency is to get along while longer But a group of them carried forward at the same time, as the Council has under consideration, would make it worth while to ask for Federal assistance and the benefits to this community would be many fold
 The Council is wisely regarding the small boat harbor as a possible major project Whether it will come soon or later remains to be seen But when it does come the city will be put to considerable eX pense to equip it and keep it in shape after it has been constructed with Federal money In the mean time, the Council is lining up lesser projects which there appears to be some opportunity for building.

JUNEAU WATCHING ITS
 OPPORTUNITIES

Congress has adjourned in its usual bedlam with the legislative hoppers clogged and the "mopping up squad and reporters still working to ferret out all the things the seventy-fifth session did. Minor bills rule are lost" for several days after such wind up until the patient and persistent news hawks finally get to them and find out where they finally landed There are several bills affecting Alaska which appear to be in just such fix
 However, it is encouraging to note that the Ter rtory may be able to profit from the passage of the so-caed spending and lending bill, perhaps more properly the public works and Works Progress portion of it. Anticipating it's passage the Public Works Administration in Alaska has been urging municipa- ties to line up such projects they may desire with the aim of getting Federal assistance in carrying

u. S. NOTE STUDIED

MEXICO CITY, Aug. q. CUP
New COnfscatiOn of American
owned lands was announced last
night while President LaZarO Car
denas studied the latest protest
from Washington regarding non
pavment of lands appropriated
from United States citizens in
Mexico.
The Official Gazette published
an executive decree restoring to
the inhabitants of San Miguel De
Tzani, village north of here in
Hidalgo state, lands given them
by the king of Spain i'm iTlT but
which at present belong to the
heirs of William G.. NOurSe, an
American who acquired them in
1907 from the Zimapan Mining
and Smelling Co, which went in
to bankruptcy.
The lands were taken from the
villagers in 1884 and sold into
private hands. Title to the prop
critics has never been questioned
since then. although they have
changed owners three times.
Under the decree, the Nourse
heirs will lose 1852 acres. They
will be allowed to retain only l25
acres while the rest of the land
will be operated as an @grarlan
community of SCI family heads.

Oil Firms Lose Appeal In Mexican Courts
WPA SIDEWALKS BUILDING
PROJECT AVAILABLE HERE;
CITY STUDIESFUNDING PLAN
Unable to Appropriate
From Regular Funds,
Mayor Points Out

A WPA project tor building
sidewalks in IIcndcrsonviIle is
now available if some method for
handling the costs to the city can
be worked out, Mayor a. V. Ed
wards stated today.
"Thc city council has agreed, "
said Mayor Edwards, that the
city cannot handle the project
through its regular funds, as the
additional revenue necessary for
the project is not now available"
However, Mayor Edwards is de-
sirous of obtaining federal aid
and improving the sidewalks of
the city. Therefore he has asked
that any property owners who de-
sire to obtain sidewalks in front
of their property and who will
furnish funds for sidewalks will
make a report to him, efforts will
be made to obtain them.
The WPA will furnish the &C.
mcnt and labor for the sidewalks,
the property owners the sand and
stone and any technical labor
such as laying out the lines and
any surveying necessary.
Mayor Edwards has estimated
that the cost to the property own
crs will be approximately 40 to
90 cents per square yard for this
service. Complete figures as to
the cost will be made if any APP
plications for sidewalks are re-
ceived.
= George w. Tidd, city lighting
is available for any sur
vcying work and the city will CO.
operate in hauling sand and stone
in order to reduce the costs to a
"Of course" said Mr.. Edwards,
it will be impossible to lay side
walks only in front Of individual
dwellings,, but if the owners of
property in a block needing side
walks will get together and agree
to furnish the DO or 60 cents per
square yard, we will be in a po-
Sition to go ahead and work out
the details with the WPA.
1--WE want to get this work done
as soon as possible and WPA Of
ficialS have assured me that they
are ready to begin Immediately.
"Suggestions as to this work
and any help which the citizens
of Hendcrsonville may give will
be welcomed by the city officials
and those interested are asked to
get in touch with us as soon as
possible"
