in Hoonah Sound with the Alaska
Air Transport Lockheed when he
ran low on gas and decided hungry

Simmons was returning from Cape
Fairweather via Hirst yesterday af-
ternoon, expecting to gas his ship
at the mine there. but on landing,
he found no fuel available.
Continuing to Sitka, after load
ing aboard three bedrolls belonging
to passengers flown to Juneau earlier
in the week, snow squalls were en-
countred so with visibility poor and
fuel running low, Shell landed in
Peril Straits, TAXED ashore at

that mixture on Beatrice Montana,

Recently Miss Montana and her
boy friend quarreled. He left in
huff She decided, for the first
time in her life, she said, to get
drunk.
Liquor is available for those who
wish it, so drunk is what she got
And presently Miss Montana decided
to commit suicide in a highly spec
tacular manner
She weaved and bobbed to Elk
position Boulevard and University
Ave. There she attempted to hurl
herself beneath the wheels of the
automobile. The first driver lodged
her. She tried again. And pres
emily there was snarl of traffic.
Radio Officers j. B. Jackson and
j. K. Carts, pausing to investigate,
discovered Miss Montana hurting
herself at automobiles like a foot
ball player charging tackling dunn
my.
They took Miss Montana in tow
Sobered, she appeared before Mu-
nicipal Judge Louis w. Kaufman
and told him the story of the low
ers' quarrel and the false consola-
ton of John Barrymore.
After receiving Miss Montanos
promise that she'd never do it again
the judge gave her a sentence of
ten days, suspended.

turned when vetoed, because the
Congress which passed them no
longer exists.
But an entirely different situa-
ton arises after adjournment OF
the first session. For these many
wears the Presidents have assumed
that because Congress was not phys
ically in session after adjourning
the first session the executive could
not return vetoed bills to Congress
within 10 days, and since ne
couldn't he didn't have to. And
since he couldn't and didn't have
to, the bills he didn't sign were
dead. That is the pocket veto. Clear?
Summers contends the idea is
unconstitutional. He says the Presi-
dent CAN deliver bill back TO
Congress after a first session by
simply delivering it to the secre-
tary. He calls it constructive" de-
livery. That would give Congress,
at its second, session, right to pass
the bill over the veto.
The secretary, Summers says, is
a lawful agent Of the Congress SO
long as the Congress itself is still
a going concern. And it still is after
a first session
In its ten-year-old decision the
Supreme Court said this con
structive" delivery of bill by
handing it to the secretary would
not work. But in its decision last
session it held that it would work
at least while one house is in ses-
sion. The case arose when a vetoed
Senate bill was returned on the

having a weekend rest. The court
held that Will ethe Senate was not

Summers thought that was skating

court may reverse itself when new
test case is filed-and one is being
arranged.

The mighty British empire learn

the British seldom buck nationalism.
They compromise with it. AS late as
1881, they passed the famous statute
of Westminster, under which no
dominion can be summoned into
war without its expressed permits

loyal. In a sense, they exchange
loyalty for the protection OF the
British fleet.

capitalism of the Sixteenth Century,
on which was to arise the great
power age. Capitalism grew and
thrived in a nationalistic atmo-
sphere. 1t took several kinds of
cement to make up healthy ma
tionalism. A ruler needed territor-
ial, racial cultural or religious unity.
One of these was absolutely essen
tial; all should be present.
Other great rulers tried empire
building without the natural uni
ties. Louis XIV, for instance, Gre
ated an age and a culture. But so
simple trick as the Dutch people
turning the dykes on his soldiers
wrecked his whole plan of empire,
and taught Louis the lesson of ma

Likewise Napoleon, the military

an empire without consulting the
spirit of nationalism abroad in Eu-
rope. He got by with it for while,
but finally, it got him, too

Arguments of counsel during the
hearing were made in an effort
to convince Blair that more than
$4,000 is involved in the society's
compliance with the act, the
