can't win," he said. With this rafting old
cheese cutter, how can l win against that
super-special with Expresco wheels?"
Maybe he'll be disqualified" Elsie sug-
gested She sensed that Pickles needed her.
MAYBE I'll come to the races after ALL I'll tell
Aunt Clara she has to watt
Il don't care if you come or not" Pickles
answered the implication. But he did care. He
wanted Elsie to be there When he entered
the list in mortal combat against his foe he
wanted Elsie to be sitting in the Kings box
wearing his colors. 1t was only right. Lamcelot
used to do it. They all did it.
Wait" he said. He went in the house. In
a moment he was back IF you do come to
the races, wear this" She took the gage

racer over to Forsythe Avenue hill. There was
hustle of activity there already. Traffic was
routed around by other streets. Wooden
bumpers marked the boundaries of the course
at the sides, a starting ramp at the top of the
hill, and a rope net at the bottom.
Hot-dog tents were going up in vacant lots
and there were trucks backed up to the side
walk with soda pop cooling in tubs of ice
water There were peanut and popcorn stands,
and up near the starting ramp lot of official
looking men in white suits were bustling
around doing last-minute jobs The pits were
up at the top Pickles inspected them. They
had bundle of axles and coils of steering
cable and spare wheels and boxes of nails and
cotterpins and stack of lumber. The men in
the pit were hard at work already helping
some poor guys to fix their racers better so
theyd pass inspection.
At ten o'clock, just before the heats were
scheduled to start, Rollo DeRoyce was driven
up by his chauffeur, followed by truck with
his racer in it. Pickles would have liked to
wander indifferently away from the audience
that assembled around the boy crooner. But
his curiosity to see the racer kept him hover
ing on the outside edge of the circle.
Camera men pictured Rollo as he superin-
tended the unloading of his racer, and girls
approached him for his autograph, which he
dashed off with debonair flourish.
The super-special racer was really some
thing. White, with blue trim. And little
flashes of silver from the chromium fittings.
The upholstery was genuine red leather,
quilted with red buttons. Pickles followed it
as it was wheeled by the chauffeur toward the
inspection line. He was standing by when one
of the Judges asked Rollo DeRoyce how much
he had spent for materials.
Ten dollars" said Rollo, and grinned
suavey. The judges conferred in little,
worried group. They were really on spot,
because the sponsors wouldn't want them to
antagonize anybody, especially influential
people like the DeRoyces. So they let it
through. 1t seemed better than making lot
of trouble. Pickles couldn't blame them.
There were other pretty fancy jaloppies.
Some of the kids had movie stars footing the
bills. But there wasn't any other entry that
transgressed the rules as f1agrantly as Rollo
DeRoyce with his super special.
They were beginning to tip the heats off
the ramp now Crowds thronged the track.
milling over the bumper boards to get
squint of the take offs, scuttling back as the
racers zoomed down the runways.
Pickles heard his number called and he
mounted the ramp ior his first heat. The

blood throbbed in his temples. There was
little fat guy with crash helmet II and neat
nderslmg racer 1t looked fast. Watch out
for him. But the other fellow was riding a rig
shaped like laundry basket and just about
as speedy, by the looks. Nothing to worry
about there.
The guy in the wickerware was still half
way down the hill when Pickles roared under
the tape length ahead of number II.
Heat won by number fifty-nine," an
nounced the loudspeaker, David Mcclure
Compton. Time: twenty-seven and four
tenths seconds"
Flushed with the FIRST taste of victory,
Pickles grabbed the tow rope and threaded
the cheering mob uphill. Elsieis face. proud
and radiant, seemed framed by the pink sea
of other faces Pickles had seen no one else.
But he had seen Elsie And she was wearing
his Souvenir of Riverside" handkerchief tied
over her head like grown girl.
He saw Mike Donovan. Mike had been
put out in the first heat. Gee, Pickles. " mar
yelled Mike. You've got the best time so far.
Twenty-seven four, that's rolling, kid
Its okay." said Pickles. "Yes, twenty
seven four s okay for that hill"
But his triumph was short-lived. Rollo
DeRoyce eliminated his first two rivals in
twenty-six fiat. That was bad! Almost
second and half. A long time, as races 60. 1t
was those wheels, those eighteen-dollar wheels.
And he had the gall to say the racer cost him
ten bucks!
Pickles was in line for his next heat when
Elsie found him. Il knew you'd win," she
said, her faith shining out all over her.
He had won heat, that's all. He couldn't
win the days races He knew that. Rollo had
already bettered his time almost hopelessly.
He wanted to tell her. He wanted her to
understand. He didn't want Rollo to 60
shooting over the finish line way ahead of him
and have Elsies face fall and her lip start to
tremble the way it always did when she was
upset.

doubtfully. Anyway it
won't do any HARM"
"Ill wear it or some
thing" Elsie promised.

away. Pickles produced
the piece of black oilcloth

nook, and set about up

Mexico Co-Operates
Cleveland Plain Dealer

Josephus Daniels, United States Ambassador to
Mexico has accomplished practical results in combat
ing otalitarian influence in Latin America by dissuad-
ing the government from entering barter deal with
Germany. Under its terms Mexican appropriated oil
planes which easily could be converted into bombers.
This government has let its dispeasure be known
at previous Mexican barter deals with Germany and
Italy Its protests the oil-plane arrangement,
however were stronger than any of the others. The
military character of the plan is obvious Ger
man mechanics would probably come to keep the
ships in running order and repair Parts could be
purchased only from Germany. 1t wedge that
might have led to dangerous consequences.
Mexico's rejection of the plan is an indication
that southern neghbor is amenable to the good
neghbor policy, if properly approached Relations be-
tween Washington and Mexico are delicate, however.
This country is alarmed by the increasing export of
Mexican oil to the relationships and the consequent
penetration of the Mexican market by Germany and
Italy 1t is feared that political influence will follow
trade here has in other countries doing business
with Berlin and Rome extensive scale.
The menviable position of the State Department
evident If it takes strong stand against Mexico
and the appropriations it drives Mexico into the arms
of the barter nations If it does nothing it gives the
impression both at home and abroad that it is weak.
Secretary Hull has been wise in proceeding cautiously
Negotiations the oil appropriations of last
March will open in Mexico City. From them
may come solution. firm but just settlement will
keep the totalitarians out of Mexico and maintain
the rising prestige of the United States as a good
neighbor.

the money the Salvation Army is after and more.
So long as the Salvation Army is in the field the
public may feel certain that there is an nceasing
fight for hungry and shelteress bodies with human
souls in them This uniformed army of salvation
seeking to keep souls and bodies together for I'M
numbered thousands throughout the world and for
hundreds here in Alaska-must somehow, somewhere
find food and shelter clothing which its NUM-
lions for upon want and disease.
1t is in a time of economic readustment like the
present that the great worth of the Salvation Army
stands out The men and women workers of the
Army do not pass by the other side of the street
when there is someone within sight who needs a
helping hand.
The Salvation Army is not merely preaching the
possibility of better and brighter world" but is
putting good deal of energy into the making of it.
This years appeal, Capt Stanley Jackson of the
local post emphasizes is not being made upon the
magnificent history of the Armys past, its work dur
ing the war; or its work of social upft in the days
gone by but for the Army, the same service and
the same spirit that is aboring at our own door in
Juneau today-and every day.
The Salvation Army in Alaska, as in the other
81 countries and colonies in which the Army carries
on its operations stands as friend to ALL irrespective
of creed color race or station in life 1t stands ready
all who stand in need Because of the very nature
the work much publicity cannot be given it, but it is
going around us constantly.
If everyone who can will help the quota will be
raised in very short time and will permit the Army
to proceed with its good work. Here is case where
he who gives quickly gives doubly.
