only Ray were not so handsome, so
completely masculine. If only she
had not seen him watching other
women. She could not blame him.
After all, she could have forestalled
her own maturity if she had taken
the time and effort. Now it was too
late &. to late 49,.
When Kathy opened her eyes the
light on her dressing table was burn
ing. Ray had turned from it and
was looking at her. He came across
the room and sat down on the edge
of the couch. He smiled, and Sonle-
thing about the way he smiled
caused her heart to leap. 1t was so
much like the smile she had known
long, long ago.
Hey, beautiful" he said. wake

that other women, more attrac-
tive, younger, more f1ighty than her
self, would find him interesting
That was only natural.
Surveying herself in the full
length mirror she yielded at last to
the truth. The transition of her
figure from slim proportions to its
present heaviness had been slow, al
most unapparent. Yet there it was.
Suddenly the injustice of it pro-
voked sense of anger, of fury. 1t
wasn't right. 1t wasn't fair. No
woman could bear two children and
bring them up and do houseWork
and hope, no matter how hard she
tried, to remain lovely and allur-
ing. There would be lines in her
face, roughness in her hands, a
thickening about her hips. These
things were inevitable. Damnably
inevitable. =
Anger suddenly gave way to de-
spair. She felt so powerless. What
could woman do? How could she
hope to win back, even maintain, the
respect and admiration of a hus-
band who was still attractive to
other women?
It was his fault! She had done it
all for him. She had borne his chill
dren and kept his house, sacrificing
all those little things that are so
dear to a woman's heart, because
she loved him, because she wanted
him to love her, always to love her.
He was ungrateful. He was un-
kind and thoughtless.
Despair grew within her as she
sat near the window, staring out at
the bleak landscape, dimly aware of
the shrill, raucous cries of children
skating on the pond below the
meadow. There were, she supposed,
ways of coping with the situation.
She could get job. She could leave
him. She could make herself beau
tiful once more.
But could she? Could she recap
ture those moments of her youth?
There were the children. There
were facts to face, such as her age,
her already-matured being, the small
likelihood of getting a job that would
avail her of these things that she
wanted. And then, most important
OF all, there was her pride.
Pride is so important when you are
80 and looking older and have chill
dren and handsome husband. It
Is the one thing you can cling to, the
one source of satisfaction, the bull
wark of strength and self-respect.
She could not admit defeat to Ray,
nor to her friends, nor yet her chill
dren. No, whatever else she did,
she must maintain her pride.
She sighed deeply, YEARLY. There
were, she supposed, other means,
other forms of rebellion. But

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT
CLOSES ROAD TO TRAFFIC

Blasting away the cliffs between
the former Union Oil company tank
site and the cemetery on Wrangell
Highway to eliminate the dangerous
curves, has blocked traffic on the
highway the greater part of the past
two weeks
Wrangell Institute has met the
situation by sending a boat into
town for mail and general errands
and occasionally a car as far as the
road is oren, the occupants walk
ing the rest of the distance, about
a mile, into town.
Carl Bradley, who has the con-
tract again this year for transport
ing pupils who live more than two
miles from town, used his new big
highway bus co the cemetery, then
with the pupils walked over the road
closed to cars and used his old bus
parked at the beginning of the cliffs,
to deliver the children to school.
Although not completed. the road

Beneficial results from the hair
seal bounty law is evident on the
stkine as gillnetters report that
the seals infesting the lower river
are noticeably reduced in number
from two and three years ago.
This Is due to the activities Of
seal hunters cut for the bounty
There are still too many seals prey

been for the bounty inducement; had
the seals had been left to propagate
unmolested the salmon toll would be
so heavy that today there would be
little Stikine fishing.
Eoch year since the seal bounty
went into effect there have been
hundreds Of seals taken, but raising
the former bounty two dollars By
the legislature this year to three
dollars has proved, in the extra dol

KILL SEALS AND CONSERVE SALMON

James and Fred, and Henry Adams
of Kake, on the Keaton. have been
hunting together on a cooperative
basis. sharing equally in the costs
and bounty money.
They are high men in this district
having brought in SO far 679 seals
for bounty They say they lost as
many carcasses as they recovered.
They were making such good money
the did not stop to go seining; had
the bounty been but the former two
dollars, they would not have con
tinued hunting. IN addition to the
bounty they sold all the skins at
one dollar each.
There were also bounty claims for
81 eagles. The men have made
$2750 in a short time under small
expense and investment. but in SO
doing they have rendered valuable
service in destroying salmon pred
ators.
Always when bounties are under
consideration BY the legislature.
those unfamiliar with the depre-
dations of hair seals on the salmon
runs, raise opposing voices on seal
bounties Most fortunately this year
the bounty increase went through
despite opposition from the side
lines. If the seals are TO be kept
within bounds, the bounty must be
sufficient to attract many hunters.
It is good economy to protect the
salmon for the good of the people in
stead of allowing their destruction
by seals.

Prices Of Cotton
Move in Narrow
Range During Week
Legislation Delays
Watched Closely
By Leading Traders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 19.-Prices of
cotton moved in a narrow range and
recorded little net change the past
week. On the New York Cotton Ex-
change net changes in prices of
future deliveries were from an ad-
vance of l point to a decline of 4
points Volume of futures market
trading was light.
Absence of any important change
in the price level last week marked
a halting of the broad upsWing of
prices which had continued almost
without break from the middle Of
April until a week or so ago. That
upsWing was based chiefly on the
developing shortage of cotton in
merchandising channels in this
country because of the locking up
of most of the supply in the Govern
ment loan stock, traders said. The
halting of the upward movement has
conceded with reports that prices
have reached the level at which
growers having cotton pledged with
the Government could profitably re-
possess and sell such cotton
The trade continued during the
week to follow closely advices from
Washington with respect to new cot
ton legislation The long delay in
action on pending measures has en-
phasized the deep-seated differences
of opinion in Congress with respect
to such questions as the export sub
sidy and price adjustment payments
to growers.
The cotton market has begun to
pay greater attention to the progress
of the new domestic crop. Crop de-
velopmentS have assumed impor-
tanCe because acreage is very re-
stricted and if unfavorable growing
conditions should result in below
average yield per acre, the new crop
may not equal world requirements
for American cotton Hence, spin
ners may have to go further into
the Government loan stock of ole
crop cotton.
Excessive rains in Central ant
Eastern States are believed to have
reduced the probabilities of high
| yields in those areas. and a drought
in Northwest Texas has threatened
the outturn there, but present cror
conditions are reported to be gooe
in other parts of the belt.
/ Domestic mills have recently sole
a very large volume of goods at ris.
ing prices. Sales, far above produc.
ton recently. were believed to have
exceeded outturn again last week.
Mill activity is not declining a.
much as was formerly expected.

japanese Blockade
Talk Causes Slump
In London Tradinq
Russian Trade Pact
Progress Is Slow;
Poland Needs Loon
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. June 19.-The stream Of
British stock trading, already great
/ ly reduced by European alarms,
nearly dried up last week because Of
fears the British-Japanese tension
over the Tientsin blockade might in
volve Britain in Far Eastern war.
A slight midweek rally which
seemed to be inspired by the June 13
speech of Foreign Secretary Lord
Halifax emphasizing Britain's deter
mination to resist aggression was
shortlived.
Overnight news from Tientsin
Wednesday caused a further decline
in prices from which the market
failed to recover before the close of
the weeks trading.
The market found a spark Of
encouragement in the mission Of
William Strang, special foreign Of
flee envoy, to Moscow, from which
it was hoped the long awaited Brit
ish- -French-S Soviet mutual aid pact
might result. Traders also drew some
little consolation from the fact that
selling pressure was not excessively
heavy and losses generally were less
than some feared.
Japan Arouses Bankers.
Reports that the cabinet was con-
sidering economic reprisals if the
Japanese blockade of Tientsin were
continued were welcomed in the city.
Far Eastern banking circles asserted
that such action should be taken
soon; they said there was increasing
evidence that Japan planned a
heavy goods dumping campaign in
British territories.
These circles asserted that such
move by Japan would not be sur
prising as there was little doubt that
the prolonged conflict in China had
seriously depleted Japans foreign
exchange resources.
Some observers declared that the
Japanese blockade of the British and
French concessions in Tlentsin had
been prompted by resentment of
Britain's support of China's ex-
change fund which was held largely
responsible for failure of the Japa-
nese controlled central banks" in
