 In the early hours there may be clear vision regarding important matters, but power to carry out well made plans may be lacking.

Candy Maker
 Uses Recipes
 Of Old Times
Some Are Said 10 Date Back as Far as Two
 Thousand Years
By GEORGE TICKER

NEW YORK, April 25.-There is ! maker of candies in Washington street whose receipts are said to go back thousands of years, even to be- fore the days of the Christian era These were handed down from fath- CT to son in the traditional man. ner, are still secret, and are main- taining their practitioners today in a manner no doubt would cause some 0f the earlier candy-makers to rub their eyes.
 Nicholas E. Abaid is his name and he came to Manhattan in 1891 You may see him and talk with his sons and even witness them at work if you care to- make the jour ney down to B Washington street There is one formula observed that you will not soon forget. These con- fections are pastry delicacies, the base of which is dough. But it is unlike any dough you ever saw. They roll it out and when it is a yard square they pick it up as you would pick up a table cloth and shake it until it becomes eight feet square
 This is called blaklaWa and it is made from a special butter imported from Syria. and goats milk These delicacies will remain fresh for a year They are composed of 40 lay CTS of the crispy, flaky pastry, which is seasoned with honey and filled with pistachio nuts, walnuts and almonds
 The Abaids also have creation that sounds as if it might belong in the Folies Bergere. It is "The Street Called Straight pistachio honey roll which, with "Opulence,' , and Lady Fingers are among the newer confection triumphs. A strange interesting family, the Abaids.

Smiles Among the Crises
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

(CleVeand Plaln Dealer)
 It is good for humankind that there amusing interudes to the strains which hold the world tension and desecrate the sacred character of week which should be holy.
 Some of the humor may be ironic, but at least it helps to make the day-to-day jump from crisis to crisis bearable.
 Thus a few days ago the headlines told us; "Poland's arms to guard England" What position for the mighty lion of Albion! If his face was not red it should be- at the idea of Polish mouse over there in md-Europe guard, in spite of the ancient assertion that Britannia needs bulwarks"
 It is more amusing than that recent sight which made the cynics smile, the British Tories in the House of Lords declaring that after all those Russians are not bad fellows This from the same noble peers who less than year ago were eager to follow the Cliveden philosophy that Fascism might yet Britain's aristocracy from the rude Reds
 There are also grimy humorous aspects to the protective occupation" by which Mussolni plays Granny Wolf to Little Red Riding Hood Albania. In itself it is not move of great consequence Albania a mite of state with less population than Cuya- hoga County and about one-fourth the area of Ohio Of this makes gobblng no less painful to the Albanians yet they have been under Italian domina ton for several years their annexation would make slight practical difference.
 But to Mussoini such a is godsend He's been biting nails recently when the photogra- phers were not looking. The senior partner of the Berlin Rome axis has been getting all the play This is plain cruelty to Benito There ought to be law!

Gov. John w Troy's appeal to the steamship companies and to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to do what they to stop the Alaska bound labor army which is heading north in increased numbers this year only to become problem to the Territory after it arrives should head off number of misin formed who plan to spend their last dollars for ticket to Alaska in the hopes of finding work as they arrive
 The Steamship lines by telling every applicant for one-way steerage ticket just what the unemploy ment situation in Alaska is can do the Territory great service. The service to the worker will be greater. These would not want to come to AL aska if they knew conditions here Informing them before they sail will them a little money and much grief.
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond is certainly in position to know the facts regarding employment in the Territory. Here is his advice to prospective settlers
 No one familiar with the Territory will deny that Alaska a land of opportunity. The waters border ing Alaska are rich fishery products the Territory has large of land that well suited to general farming and grazing; forests containing timber suit able for lumber and paper pulp; mineral lands con- taining gold, silver, lead copper platinum tin and many other metallic well as petroleum coal sulphur and asbestos; all resources capable of uti mately sustaining many industries and maintaining large population.
 
 fishery resource which appears to have been fully exploited almost to the point of depletion each of the above mentioned resources requires development before it will represent industry of importance Such development is difficult if impossible, with out a reasonable amount of capital by anyone at tempting future in Alaska. It is possible to wrest a living from the wilderness with little than bare hands but it seems certain that one hundred will fail in this where one will succeed-and most of Alaska is yet wilderness
 "The industries that Alaska now has have suf- fered little if during the recent of depres sion and lines of business there remained fairly stable if prosperous during this time But many unemployed persons from the States have gone to the Territory during the past several years that the influx has created condition where there simply more looking for work than there jobs available for them This is true in the skilled and white col- lar classes of employment as well as of unskilled labor
 Anyone planning to go to the Territory in search of employment should have enough money to provide for himself for several months and then to purchase return transportation to the States in the event work is not found It should also be borne in mind by considering going to Alaska that employment there is definitely seasonal in character in most industries and for this it doubly difficult find work during the winter months.
 Despite the articles to the contrary that appear from time to time in various periodicals trapping in Alaska cannot be counted upon to provide any sub stantial amount of financial revenue. and one should go to Alaska to trap. Although the fur in-

Protection for the Decent Employer
Philadelphia Record)


 There was day when protests would follow the suggestion that employer caught in the mid de between two rival unions ought to be given some protection under the National Labor Relations Act. Any such proposal however timidly urged, would be hissed down covert attempt to smash the act. Now We hear that Senator Robert F. Wagner, author of the Labor Relations Act will appear before the Senate Labor Committee to ask just such proec- ton for the employer He will do it part of his defense of the act against crippling amendments He is right; the request for protection for tions Act the smartest and most effective kind of defense
 The personnel of the National Labor Relations Board could have avoided crossfire of adverse pub lie opinion had been far-sghted enough to amend it's rules give the employer this of pro lection
 Under the present arrangements elections to choose collective bargaining representatives only be held at the request of union. An employers plea is not recognzed-not though he may have fine labor record not though he may have signed a legitimate contract with legitimate union, only to find himself picketed by a rival union
 He has been helpless, caught in the middle vc- tim of abors iurSdctional strife, with which he had nothing to do This is an outrageous situation. The quicker it is ended the sounder and healthier will the labor act and the labor movement become. Associate Justice Douglas of the United States Su- ciate Justice Harland F. Stone They will doubt

This must have been embarrass- ing. A young man, a timekeeper, be- ing dissatisfied with his position, answered an advertisement in one of the newspapers and said he yearn- ed to better his lot. The next day his boss came around and said, Joe we got your letter all right, Aren't you satisfied?
 Naturally Joe was stunned It just dawned on him that he had ans wered an advertisement from his own company. But he managed to collect himself and he said no. he wasn't satisfied, not by heck of a sight
 His superior looked at him thoughtfully for a moment and then beckoned him to follow They went into the office Half an hour later Joe emerged with a new job-a much 1 better one. Joe's name really isn't Joe. But then you can't go around betraying condolences when your tell you things.

 Some of the Broadway observers were prone to be a little sarcastic about this decision to refuse Cmdy Lou chance to kiss the boys good by in Salt Lake. But is seems to me the theory of state rights in a democracy such as ours should ex- tend even to cities, and if Salt Lake wants to keep it's citizens from cat ing the Devils flesh, but at the same time permit them to drink his broth why that clearly is the busi- ness of Salt Lake.
