status Of the proposal TO exempt

provision is an amendment 10
the proposal TO retain selectees
in service for more than a year,
and that it may not pass.
The -2s-yesr-old exemption is
an amendment 10 the Connslly
property seizure bill. Il has been
agreed upon by both house and
senate conferees. and should

Tacoma will have 10 do a lot Of
hustling to get ready for the
business.
Right here is recalled the port
commissions action several
years ago in turning down the
opportunity to get federal
money to increase the port grain
storage facilities. There were
other minor reasons. but one of
the principal excuses for turning
it down was that the wheat bust
ness was shot anyway. so why
bother. There also was some
compunetion about taking New
Deal money and thus encourage
ing more extravaganza, or some
thing like that. That additional
storage space would come in
mighty handy now, no matter
whose money did the job.
Writing in The Pathfinder,
Roger Babson, famed business
statistician and economist, has
something to say about four
great values which must be uni
versally recognized if we are
going to get out of the mess
in which we find ourselves to-
day. The four points, summar-
lied are worth remembering:
ID Good health Is of great
worth. Time and money invest
ed in keeping well is n primary
investment.
~ The ability to take care
OF ones self, whether by the
raising of food or by the build
ing of houses, is of real import
ance.
A dollar may be worth 100
cents or 10 cents, but the quart
of milk, from your own COW,
which your family drinks always
has the same value.

husband and a family of prop
erly-trained kids cannot be beat
as sound investment. Too
many parents depend upon safe
deposit boxes rather than upon
children. am still betting on
the old-fashioned investment in
a good family and a home with

church. Ii has come through the
ages as a great pillar Of
strength. Better invest a little
more money in your church and
other good works.
Want to have a lot of fun

MORTAL 5T0RM' BILLED SUNDAY
 A5 CAPITOL HIT
Timely Drama Will Be Seen on Screen of Local
 Theatre

A motion picture as timely as to- morrow's headlines, The Mortal Storm will open Sunday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Characterised upon the part of an outstanding cast, this film is designed to make audiences think In brief, it tells the story of a family, happy family, which sud- denly finds itself beaten. divided against itself and helpless against a regime of terror which sweeps down upon it.
 Margaret Sullavan, who may d. ways be depended upon for a ste-- ling performance, surpasses any thing she has done previously as the hapless heroine. Freya Roth. From start to finish she lives the life of the girl she portrays with sympathy and deep feeling.
 The same rule applied to James Stewart in his role of Martin Breitner. Stewards sympathetic handling of an unusual type of character puts him in line for an acting award.
 The surprise of the piece, how ever, comes in the person of Robert Young who, for the first time in his screen career, essays the role of a villain.
 Tonight ends the double bill, "The Courageous Dr. Christian" and Rancho Grande."
