By Allen ERbs
CHAPTER ONE


MISS MARTHA WESTON
looked up from stufing gray wool
into her knitting bag.
"Well?" she said.
'Wen, what ?" Dian Weston
asked, turning away from the
window.
"Why don't you say something ?"
What is there to say. Aunt
Martha?"
Didn't you hear me tell you
that 1t was bad enough to have
one spinster in the family, without
having two OF them, and one Of
them Tilted ?"
Eyes, Aunt Martha, heard you"
Dian shrugged. But what is there
for me to say? You've said about
all there IS to be said about the
matter"
mo. there's one more thing
Jerome Carr"
Il see. So we're back at
that again" Dian went back TO
staring out Of the window. II SIM
ply can't marry Jerome" she said.
But he's the most successful
man in Ardendale," said Miss
Martha. Hes been in love with
you for years. and"
NONSENSE Dian cut in. How
could Jerome be in love with any,
one, that is, REALLY-when he's
got a dollar mark where his heart
ought to be ?" She walked to a
table, found a cigaret and lit It.
II know he's a banker and all that,
and that the Weston family GER
certainly could do with a banker,
but"
But WHAT" said Miss Martha
impatiently. go on"
But why don't you marry him ?"
said Dian. Frankly, I'd much pre-
fer a banker-uncle to a banker
husband"
well, I never in all my life
heard such silly talk" Miss Mar
tina exclaimed.
IT'S not silly" Dian said. "Je-
rome Cars always liked you, and
i think If you stopped trying to
push me down his throat, he'd take
time to see that you're the Weston
female he wants, and not me-"
Miss Martha closed her knitting
bag with an angry gesture. She
picked it up, looked to see il her
hat was on straight, and walked
to the door.
Sometimes, Dian," she said
"you are the most exasperating
person alive. You should marry
Jerome just to show the town you
don't care a darn about being
fitted"
Aunt Martha, wish you'd stop
using that word Tilted so freely"
Dian said with a wry smile. ut
sounds so sort Of final and unpleas-
ant"
1T Is final-and unpleasant"
said Miss Martha But now that
you have been Tilted, and that up
start Fred Mayhem is out Of the
way. you ought to give Jerome
Carr some encouragement. You
know perfectly well he would have
tried to see a lot more Of you If
Fred hadn't been hanging around
all the time"
Il hardly think marrying Jerome
because of Fred is going to help
matters any," Dian said quietly.
Why not, pray?"
I'D make Jerome miserable-I
don't love him. He talks dollars,
SLEEPS percentages, and eats divi-
dends."
II see. And yet you'd be perfectly
willing for me to marry him"
Eyes, I would. The very qualities
I dislike about him, you seem to
like"
IAN I've got to say Is that all
this talk is getting US exactly no
where" said Miss Martha.
I'm awfully glad you realize
that at last. Aunt Martha" said
Dian. Now, trot along to your

Political Football
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The case of Harry Bridges seems to have closed df it is finally closed) in typical fashion Through out it has been political football and it's conclusion clearly was meant to serve political purpose.
 The Australian, . left-wing labor leader on the West Coast through period of long turmoil and dis ruptive strikes, has within close approximation of deportation on more than occasion, but each time action has been avoided by another gov- ernment department lest the Congress of Industrial Organizations in particular and labor in general take offense.
 During all of this time Bridges quite clearly was following the Communist party line, and as long as Moscow striving to postpone reckoning with Germany Bridges was mouthng the familiar phrases about the imperiastic war" and the tieups of the West Coast shipping industry which he had a part certainly were not helpful to this nations prepared ness effort
 Presumably now MT. Bridges is working to the full extent of his capabilities and he is quite able in many .respects) in behalf of victory for the United Nations And yet it is that Attorney General Francis Riddle on behalf of the administration, rules that the alien Bridges is member of the Commun- st party that the party is dedicated to the over throw of government, and that he therefore should be deported to Australia The time to have deported MT. Bridges, if there was any merit in the government against him, was two years or more ago. If there has been any new evidence in this case there has been no mention of it. His conduct has changed much for the better and the Communist patty line, through the vicissitudes of the times, quite in line with the war effort of the democrac;cs. The circumstances suggest that the action in the Bridges case was designed codnterbalance to the freeing of Earl Browder but if 60 is crude bus- ness of political expedency which does not even have the saving grace of consistency

SHOW YOUR COLORS

Juneau residents and business houses will have an opportunity this Saturday, the Fourth of July to make up for the poor showing on June 14 Flag Day.
 More than person has brought to the atten- tion of The Empire that not more than dozen flags were displayed by business houses Flag Day.
 The significance of the Fourth of July this year is greater than ever. Our flag is the emblem of everything for which fighting.
 For l65 years since the flag was adopted by the Continental Congress on June IA, TIT, it has with stood all attempts, within and without our shores to destroy it's meaning.
 Old Glory should be honored every day of the year. But the Fourth of July, Independence Day especially should Juneau show it's coors to help bring home the precious liberties for which the flag stands
 A year ago July 4, were celebrating oul Independence. This year we are fighting for that independence.

JAP METHODS

We interested to read recently the full ac- count of Gen. Jimmy Dooitte's raid on Tokyo, eS- pecally the part about the orders given to Ameri- can pilots instructing them NOT to bomb the Im- perial Palace in the Jap capital.
 According to many observers, the Army gave these orders because it feared that the bombing of Hirohito high priest of the Shnto religion, and gsrded deity by the Npponese would arouse the Japs to greater cruetes against American prs- oners.
 The Japs bombed church buildings in Manila. They bombed base hospitals in Bataan apoogized. and then bombed the hospitals again,
 According 10 all of the information have at hand. the Jap mind which is not too imaginative would have a difficult time in trying to outdo the .inhuman treatment dealt out to American prisoners far
 The sworn statement of American business man who escaped from Hong Kong not long ago ap- peared recently in national magazine, periodical in which this man had read of the uxuries enjoyed by Jap diplomats interned in the United States. The former American prisoner said among other things:
 The American people must know that Jap treat

ment of American non-consular civilians is deliber- atey cruel highly inhuman and insulting American men, women and children, carrying their backs bundles of the few possessions they saved from Jap footing were driven like cattle foot to be interned in the filthies hotels the Japs could find in Hong Kong
 "A six-foot by eight-foot cubice without win dows allotted to five nternees two sleeping on a single bed, three the floor with their legs under the bed for lack of space For five weeks they lived thus with air, no light and permission even to stretch their cramped legs, with water closet for 53 people baths, no money no permission to see outsiders
 Their ratons two bowls of cooked rice, scraps of vegetables 1-16 of salt and sugar per- diem No milk was allotted for babies Hospital fa- cites and the most primitive medical attention were refused to people dying from dysentery."
 The accounts of American soldiers taken captves by the Japs more terrible and revoltng. We can expect no lenency with prisoners by the Japs.
 The question of why didn't bomb the Emper- or's palace is of the unanswered questions of the raid We'd like to know more about it.

and was rushed through at this time at the insistenee of Oil Co., ordinator Ickes.
 The WIPES salvage division, un- der deliberate Leasing Rosenwald, had been proceeding through rath- CT intricate and elaborate channels and would not have been ready to do the job for couple of months.
 But Ickes persuaded the President tlat there was no time to lose, that it was necessary to collect all the scrap rubber possible before a decision could be made on nation wide gas rationing.
 Twenty-four hours after Ickes sold F'DR on this idea, 35 oil com pany executives from all over the country flew to Washington and mapped plans for the campaign. In addition to collecting rubber at their filling stations, they agreed to use their trucks to haul rubber to freight cars, to advance money for cash payments to the public, give the time of their filling station op- orators and donate the necessary bookkeeping.
 All profits from the campaign will 90 to the USO, and the Army Navy Relief.

| THURSDAY, JULY
 Adverse planetary influences con tend today with benefic aspects Uranus frowns upon the Earth ear ly in the morning.
 HEART AND HOME: In cities as well as small towns war service will level all ranks and will estab- fish the democratic spirit in it's fullest sense. Summer social infor- mahties will foreshadow many changes in manners and customs that will be lasting. As any show of unnecessary expenditures is in bad taste at this time, new stand ards of living will be established for the future. In the new order poy- erty is to be eliminated so far as possible by Government that seeks to establish equality of opportunity
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Substitutes for materials absorbed in war needs will multiply through the Summer and many of them will be prefer able to what they initiate. Exports will increase this month when there will be extraordinary demands for munitions. The stars are read as presaging tremendous output for many factories in which workers prove heroic as well as efficient. The month will be most profitable for hotel keepers at mountain re- sorts.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Educational trends will be discussed seriously, que to the evident sweeping changes in the way of American life. At summer schools professors will ad- yocate stress on vocational guidance as postwar exigencies will make necessary added numbers of wom- es in wage earning occupations. While practical training is stressed, there will be a wide interest in dis tinctly academic courses which will oe sought by the minority. Many postgraduate classes will be estab- ished

Although there may be slight dif- ficulty or damage to one of our hips today, the United States Navy again is to demonstrate it's power II several decisive engagements With Japanese ships Superiority of our warships and airplanes will be daily demonstrated by men of splendid ability in the Navy and the air ser- vice. From this time on many in- dications of ultimate victory may be expected, if the stars are rightly read.
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of year in which they should be cautious in business and love affairs. Money should be spent carefully.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be generous and popular. They should be clever in financial affairs and lucky in friendships. Copyright, 1942

RUBBER NOTES

The Santa Anita Race track is contributing all rubber from it's equipment, totalling an original cost of $l5,000 James R. Young, the newsman who cabled so many dispatches from Japan warning what was to come, suggests that every autoist who drives a long dis tance to golf course, or who joy rides at night, be required to sur render some rubber from his car. R. s. Wharton, Quaker Rubber Co, says; Turning in your rubber that's obsolete, helps turn in victory that will be complete"

this deal, but President Roosevelt wisely refused. And it is quite possible that the newspaper account of the negotiation and it's effect on public opinion may have influenced his decision.
 Whether it did or not, the Brit ish hit the roof when the news paper account was published. Chur- chill, then in London, telephoned to Lord Halifax in Washington to find out how the story had leaked out, and British newSmen were called on the carpet.
 From now on American neWSmen also will be called on the carpet If they report Russian proposal to fix the boundaries of Poland and Eastern Europe before the war is over. In fact, under the new censorship code, secret treaties can be negotiated all over the map, eX- actly similar to the secret London Treaty of 1915 promising Italy var ious concessions after the war, and the American press will not be able to print a word.
 And if the next peace treaty goes on the rocks as did Versailles on the issue of these secret pacts, then historians will go back to the date Of June 24, 1942, and point to the muzzling of the American press as the date when the trouble really started.
 Note:- Winston Churchill muz- zled the London Mirror last winter when it pointed to inefficiency in the British Army, and too many of ficers appointed because they came from the right families. Churchill's critics now say that if he had done less censoring and more army house cleaning the result in Libya might have been different.
