NO DRINKS ON CREDIT

LAUSANNE, Jan. - Swiss ho- tel keep-rs will have to think t over before giving credit to GUS toners, following the sad eXper- fence one had with a farmer who knew the law.
 The farmer made a deal with a hot keeper whereby the farmer would furnish his products to the hotel to be marked to his credit against drinks.
 All went well until the hotel keeper found that the farmer drank lot more than he was entitled to on the strength of his deliv ries of vegetables. |
 Therefore the hotel keeper de- manded a settlement because the farmer had delivered $45 worth of goods and drunk $98 worth of wine and brandy.
 The farmer invoked an old law which forbids tavern keepers from dispensing drinks on credit.
 The case went as far as the Federal Supreme Court which ruled that the hotel keeper was not entitled to his money.

 Whether or net this explana- tion is correct, there is no ques- tion that the British navy has cut the Egyptian exp ditionary force of General Graziani off from his overseas supplies.

 Despite the irate demands of Il Duce that Graziani advance on Suez his army simply lacked suf- ficient water and other supplies to move. And eventually the Brit ish took the offensive themselves.

HOUSING SITUATION IS
 ACUTE AT BREAIERTON

SEATTLE = By June they l be sleeping in the streets says one of the architects connected with the F deral housing pro- gram here.
 The big factor in the demand for housing is the Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, across the Sound from Seattle. Many workmen in the yard, unable to find homes in Bremerton, are liV ing in s attle and Tacoma; they get to ther jobs by ferry, spend ing three and four hours day in travel.
 Hotel men at Bremerton have complained that publicity given to overcroWded conditions has hurt their business. But the facts are that many navy yard work
 IS are living in trailers, and a few even brave the weather in tents. Rents have jumped.
 The ten-year average employ ment at the navy yard up to 1889 was 2,5OO Today the total is l0,- 900. Thsre has also been huge incre ase in the rolls of workers at the Boeing Aircraft plant where flying fortresses are made.
 At F. eaarton 2,2OO housing units ci,nef have hean started or are in the blaming stage by various arms of the government. Private enterprise is expected to put up at least 500 units, and much of this work already is un- der way.

 Freighting Dogs
 q am writing this letter, hop ing that all who are interested to help us reclaim the large, freight ing Alaskan Malamute and the medium or small Siberian Illus ky, VII cooperate and let us hear their opinions and tell of the work they are doing in the breed Ing of northern arctic blood lln- es. No cross of outside types are allowed. Regardless of the con- tinued argument about the Mala- mute and Eskimos, let us accept both but keep their standards apart. feel that Alaska should have a type of dog that depicts its country and the Siberian Illus j5y belong to Siberia, much mors popular perhaps and have increas ed in numbers but the old Hud- son Stock Malamute can be prot back.
 Mrs. Seppala now has a few snapshots of some of the dogs, of which We have used for founda- ton stock. When we decided about the dogs to be sent in the 1889 U. s. Government Antarc- tic Expedition, we bred true to type and cross bred also. The results have been most int-rest- ing.
 "A recent radio from West Base and another from East Base Antantica tells us that our home tired dogs are now out. on the long treks and both the Siber.ahS Ma amutes-a fwc Eskimos (Hud son Bay crossed Wiht Greeland) are making good. Also the cross bra ds of the Siberian-Malamutes that we sent.
 Hearing that the dogs now be- ing bred in Alaska are called Si b rian Malamute stock and are known as Alaskan Huskies, mak- es now wonder if all who are breeding these dogs, could de eide which types, now accepted by the American Kennel Club may be more efficient.

Widespread Interest

Many letters have come to us from all parts of the Word and several from Alaska and the West Coast, asking what we think We know about these breeds when we have never been to Alaska. That answer of not having come to Alaska as more good dogs came to the States ev- entually than were left in Alaska has been our rep y. know that most of the tru dog breeders in Alaska will appreciate that we have not tried to breed new type of either and have made efforts to stay by the standards that we believe that MT.

Interesting Letter

Dog fanciers and breeders no doubt will be interested in hear ing what few of us here ID the States are trying to accom- plish in breeding and recla:mlng the arctic sled dog types that are now accepted throughout the world, namely, the Siberian Illus kies, altho many of us feel that is a misnomer and this breed should be called Siberian Gnu chis; the Eskimos of Eastern Arc tic Ger enland across to Hudson Bay); the Malamutes of A A'aska' the Samoyedes of Western Sam oyede Peninsula.
 All these four types of arctlt dogs have been badly confused in blood lines and descriptive terms. For several years after my husband and I had the good for tune to meet Leonhard Seppals and A. A. "Scotty' Allen, bott visiting here at Monalancet, N H., our impressions have retain ed their description of the true two types of the two arctic breeds that we are now reestab- lising-the Siberian Huskes alC Alaskan Malamutss.

two weeks had gone - then three
weeks. Business was unbelievably
good, but that didn't seem to matter
much to Marcia any more. They had
another girl on the floor; even so,
Avery had to come from behind the

Marcia just about the same way he

A number of them made it very obvi-

away from such treatment. But some

of other young men. She - and she
admitted it to herself with surprising
calmness - wanted Avery's atten-

She wanted Avery to hold her close,
and smile down at her, and whisper
foolish little things while they danced.
She wanted Avery to ask her to sit

across the Atlantic, or gazed toward
the house, the distance was too great
for Marcia to know. After a moment
he walked slowly back to the cottage,

in the window there Marcia sighed
and sought her own bed.

TRIMMING SAILS
TO THE BREEZE
Nevada State JournaD


That the combination of normal re-
covery and defense program activity is
helping to solve the unemployment prob
lem is illustrated by the figures released
a few days ago by the Social Security
Board in Washington In a period of
twelve months more than three million
persons were dropped from the relief
rolls on the federal security and work
programs.
But the nation has a long road ahead.
Even now there are nearly 100000
persons receiving some sort of govern
mental aid. or more than II per cent
of the entire population. BY mid-sum
mer there should be further reduction
from the top figure of lS,000,O0O on the
relief rolls, reached in February 1910, as
the defense program has been under full
steam for only few months.
The relief roll reduction is reflected
directly in federal expenditures. Since
the nation has been assured that nom
defense economies will not include nee
essary relief outlayS, which is wise pre-
caution, this legitimate saving is welcome
but there are innumerable places where
economies in government have yet to be
attempted Intrenched bureaus in Wash
ington are all setting up claims of prior
nearly every movement, half of the bills
introduced in congress and appeals for
federal funds from all sources, have some
kind of a defense clause tackled on to
them.
Try and find one federal bureau that
has not set up a claim for either protec-
tion or expansion on the plea that the
defense of the United States rests entire
ly, or at least greatly, on the work being
done by that particular agency.
1t is all very we'll to talk about busi-
ness as usual but this country is rapid
ly reaching the point where the sacrifices
which the President has portrayed will
have to go into effect. The administra-
tion can set fine example by trimming
sails in Washington and shifting several
thousand bureau heads and government
employees to preparedness efforts. The
country can get along for few years
without some of the frills in govern
ment that we enjoy and for which we
pay fancy prices.
