PREVENT FIRES

Spontaneous Ignition
A careful search for hazards that
might cause these mystery fires
is we'll worth the effort:
Have any oil-soaked rags used
for busting or polishing been left in
attic, closets. kitchen. pantry or
cellar?
IT a cleaning compound is en-
pleyed in sweeping, is it placed in
a covered metal can after being
used?
Has any painting been done re-
Gently?
If SO, have the paint cans been
covered?
Have paint-stained rags and
clothing been burned?
Has any damp or uncured hay or
grass been brought into cellar, gar
age or barn?

OId-Timers Had Trade Secrets

In early times cities strove with
each other for the leather trade, as
they did for the lace trade, when
hand made lace was III great de-
mand at fabulous prices. Tanners
we're encouraged to find new proc
esses by which a fine new leather
could be produced. The formula
was kept secret and the product
was put upon the market under the
name of the city in which it was
produced. Thus trade secrets are
as old as industry and tanning is
among the oldest of industries.

 "What? Ohv' said Eric starting up. And then because he had very good manners he found a chair for her to sit in. She sat down and took his hands in hers and said. My, sometimes there is a way out. It may be that there can be some great, good deed you can perform that will win LeeZen for yourself. Certain, it is that mourn ing never helped anyone"

Chapter II Looking For Leezen

DACK in the Toyshop Santa U was waiting for Eric to wake up, after taking Leezen away. You remember the fairies had put Eric to sleep so that he would not feel too badly when his favorite doll was given to some one else.
 So when Eric stirred and rubbed his eyes and woke up after she was gone, he was be- wildered. There was the Toy shop. Santa was busy painting pink cheeks on a doll. Mrs. Santa was stringing red beads. Fairies fiuttered about. But there was no LeeZen.
 Eric sprang to his feet. He shouted, "Oo-o-o!"
 Santa dropped his paint brush Mrs. Santa looked around and the fairies stopped their work.
 "Oh, Santa she's gone," shout ed Eric. He Sprang to SantaS side, knelt, and buried his head on Santa's fat knees.
 Other Dolls
 Come, my boy" said Santa feeling badly now. Tt isn't so inn portant. You can have any other doll here"
 But none of them are such fine companions as Leezen," said Eric.
 q know" said Santa, but she belongs to the King of West phalia."
 Where is the King of West phalia. Maybe he won't need Lee zen, and I can beg him for her"
 That, my son, I can't tell you" !" said Santa, "because if I did 1 fear you would go there and cause trouble. And I was keeping a promise to the fairies when l made him the gift"
 Eric said nothing more. He just sat with his face in his hands. He looked so sad the whole Toyshop felt dreary. They stopped work
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-12-15
"Yes. m come," said Elsa.

"Yes, I'll come," said Elsa.
 So they tiptoed out into the night, and again Eric blew long, low note on his flute, and up through the dark woods and across the snow there trotted to his side the white fox.
 Eric said, Noble white fox, is it possible that you have crossed the hills of Westphalia? We want to go there very much"
 The fox shook his head disap- pointed that he couldn't help. He liked Eric. Then he tossed his head and said, "But I'll carry you to the ends of the earth. and surely between here and there lies the kingdom you seek"
 So Eric sat on the white fox's back and held to his long, silky white hair. And then Elsa climbed on in back of Eric and put her arms about his waist. The fox started out with such a great bound that it took them half an ell into the woods.
 TOMORROW: Eric and Elsa are taken prisoners.

Mediterranean Port
Air Service Studied

Development of transatlantic air
commerce between United States
and Mediterranean ports is under
consideration by the Civil Aero
nautics Authority on the basis
of a request by American Export
Air Lines, Inc. for permission to
operate ships on this route.
With the Mediterranean area the
only important section of Europe left
open to direct American commerce
under operation of the Neutrality
Act, the air line concern 'contem-
plates operation between New York,
Lisbon Valencia and Rome. Balti-
more, Charleston and Norfolk
might be used as alternate terminals
on this side of the Atlantic, it was
said. The company proposed begin
ming the service on March l, 1910
carrying only mail and express: on
January l, 194l, it would begin pas
senger service.
Planes capable of carrying 1000
pound pay loads eastbound and 1000
pounds westbound would be used
the company said.
American Export also has pro-
posed a permanent service to Ire
land, England and France and

And What

james Represents
Generation of
Railroad Builders
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Arthur Curtiss James, railroad
builder, never liked the idea of too
many dead horses hitched on behind
the caboose. In his vast Western
enterprises, he repeatedly heaved in
large bales Of fresh money, rather
than shop-worn bonds. His retire.
ment as chairman of the board Of
the Western Pacific, at the age Of
78, leaves him still the owner of
more railroad securities than any
other man, and generally accounted
one of the IL richest men in the
world-all with a genteel minimum
of personal publicity.
Like Leonor F. Loree, he worked
quietly behind Gen. Grant beard,
but otherwise all was out in the
open. He is of the third generation
of family of daring industrialists
and railroad builders, and has more
than trebled his inherited fortune.
Chicago to the Golden Gate has
been his operating territory. He be-
came the largest individual stock
holder in the Northern Pacific and
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
and gained control of the Western
Pacific, which, with the Missouri
Pacific, held the Denver and Rio
Grande.
He is the grandson of Daniel
James, who founded what later be-
came the great Phelps-Dodge Min
ing Corp, and the son of D. Willis
James, associate of James j. Hill in
the Northwest. All his operations
have been closely geared into re-
gional productive resources and he
never ran a railroad into an eco
nomic vacuum. Like his father and
grandfather, he paced the retreat
ing frontier all the way to the
coast.
Physically, he measures up to his
role. Around 6 feet tall, rugged
and vigorous, he wore somewhat
wavy and nautical beard, once red
dish, now gray, rather than the
conventional bankers whiskers Of
his early day. He is a trustee Of
Amherst, his alma mater, and a
generous patron of charities and
philanthropies.

Latest Elections Fail to Indicate New Deal
Con Be Assured Of Winning 1910 Campaign

the size of the majorities against
these spending plans that is i'm
pressive. If the country is, as now
indicated in the 1898 and 1899 elec-
tions, getting away from the glamour
Of the New Deal, what will be the
attitude of the Democrats when 1t
comes to nominating presidential
candidate next year? In some
Democratic circles in Washington
the argument is already made that
the Democratic nominee will be IAN
old-line Democrat" or at least not
a radical New Dealer.
Third Term Issue Relegated.
Since the Presidents victory In
the arms embargo fight all the talk
has been that he will doubtless be
the candidate put forward by the
Democratic party. The third-term
issue has been relegated to a dark
corner. The election results yester-
day are the first check-even though
they cannot be given too great en-
phasls. Furthermore, it is expected
that before long either Vice Presi-
dent Garner or his friends will issue
statement asserting that the fight
for the Democratic presidential
nomination has by no means been
abandoned: that when the time rolls
around Mr.. Garners hat will be in
the ring no matter what. Such a
statement may be issued soon or it
may be delayed until after the first
of the year.
President Roosevelt himself is ex-
pected to make important announce
ments regarding the next presiden-
tial campaign. perhaps at the time
of the Jackson Day dinners-set for
January 6. At the dinner in WASH
ington, which he is expected to at
tend, he will deliver a keynote for
the campaign-and perhaps for the
preconvention campaign which is to
select delegates for the Democratic
National Convention.
Compromise possible.
If the President is not a candidate
for denomination, it is not at all
unlikely that Vice President Garner,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull and
Postmater General James A. Farley
will have together more than a ma
jority of the delegates to the ma
tlonal convention If that be the
case, thesesgentlemen may come to
an agreement among themselves-on
one of their number or compromise
candidate
Under such circumstances, un-
doubtedly President Roosevelt would
be consulted A Democratic presi-
dental candidate who did not have
the support of the President, it is
believed, would have no chance at
all of winning the election next year.
Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security
Administrator, in some quarters is
considered strong possibility if
there shall be compromise. There
is no blinking the fact. however, that
Mr.. McNutt at present has Mr.. Far
ley aligned against him. Mr.. Farley,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, will have his finger on
many of the State delegations. Nor
is it by any means certain that the
President would take up the cudgels
for Mr.. McNutt. On the other hand,
Mr.. McNutt is making headway with
some Of the key Democratic leaders
in Congress who believe he would
make a strong candidate.
