 In the future all persons, con- cerns and establishments handling or buying explosives must be Ii. censed. U. S. Commissioner R. J, Suratt has been appointed licensing agent for Wrangell.
 Owners or operators of mines quarry or other industries, meeting the requirements for licenses. may obtain licenses at the Commission CTS office.
 Under the regulations a list oi specific fireworks are allowed, and the booklet says, "No license will be required for the purchase at re- tail of Chinese firecrackers, Ameri- can firecrackers, toy torpedoes, ser. pents, sparklers. or toy paper caps when costing not more than ten cents per package.
 Additional information concern ing control of explosives will be giv. en by Commissioner Suratt to per- sons interested or applying for li- censes.

 While the law is fairly specific. that vacancies in the Territorial Legislature must be filled by special election called by the Governor there are no end of interpretations as. to what will happen when the reap portionment bill becomes effective that is, should it become effective before 1945.

Gladys. "Can you take it,"
"Who? Me: 1 should say not.
I'm going up 10 Stony Point as
usual. It wouldn't make Hubert
any cooler for me to stay here
and sweat along at his side"
A man spoke up whom most OF
us hardly knew - Julian Striker.
He was Hubert's best friend
though they hadn't been Together
for a good long while. He had
stopped off 10 see Hubert on his
way somewhere else.
'fHumph! You're the cook.

Gladys looked at her husband

of ownership.

was she grinned her frank and
engaging grin at the lot Of u.s..
Well, she went, and took the
car: though without il Hubert had
to stand for 40 minutes twice a
day in a crowded bus on his way
to and from the apartment she
had made him take and give up
the Sunday driving that was his
principal pleasure.
He had only 10 days leave COM

And so he did.
BY the time he was at his desk
again Striker was gone.
Hes a dumb cluck and I've
told him So" Striker said on de-
parture. 81 wish I didn't care.
but he's been a hell OF a lot
closer to me than my brother"
There followed one of those siz-
Zling endurance tests that make
people inquire couldn't we move
the capital somewhere else, and
every time we were shown a new
picture of Gladys Seymour in a
b ing suit, the temperature
seemed TO go up another five de-
grees.
There wasn't a regret among us
when somebody brought Cecile
Gravely to a picnic we were hav-
ing and introduced her as a new
conner to Washington and she
proceeded to cut Hubert from our
midst as neatly as a good cowhand
cuts an ailing steer from the herd
and to take charge Of him.
And nobody ielt sorry for Gladys,
either, cooling herself in the ocean
waves. She had il coming TO her,
we thought. and it would do her
good.
We thought that at first. for,
though Cecile hadn't known either
Hubert or Gladys before. she knew
many friends of both of them. and
her opening gambits were different
indeed from the moves she made a
little later on.
She might have been Hubeft's
cousin, or his wife's best friend
at the beginning.
She was staying with friends
who spent about half their time
out of town that summer, and
while they were away their apart
ment was hers alone.

This is the month when the
shadbuSh blooms From Newfound-
land TO the Dakotas. the chosen
spots Of the dainty shadbush are
made beautiful by the presence of
the lacy bridal vein of the shrub.
Before any of the other trees are
ready 10 have their floral display,
the shadbush Is covered with deli
cate feathery clusters of starry
blossoms These flowers would be
a Joy and delight at any time OF
the year, but the fact that they
arrive in the early spring, when
there is no indication at all of
other flowers. save the violet and
spring blossoms nesting close to
the ground, makes you appreciate
them all the more.
This small tree, planted on your
lawn or in the city park, adds
much 10 the beauty OF the land
scape. IT rarely reaches more than
40 feet, and 20 is the usual height.
The flowers come forth before the
leaves. They are fragrant. in loose
dropping racemes with silky bracts,
about one inch across with five long
petals. That is why they appear
To be so feathery and fragile. Un-
fortunately, they do not last long
and that is why you should 60 to
the woods early to see them. II
is said that these blossoms are the
spirits of departed shad mothers
who come up the river to spawn
and die.
The leaves arrive to clothe the
tree with their dainty color of
fresh green. They are from three
to four inches in length and they
are greatly admired when fresh
leaves are few, but they are usually
passed by in the summer - over
looked in the profusion OF later
growth.
The flowers are replaced by red,
Juicy, sweet fruit which ripens in
June The birds are so eager to
sample this fruit that they stay
until every bit of 1t has been
enjoyed. That is why this tree is
often called the serviceberry. It
would be such a thoughtful thing
TO do to transplant some of these
little trees. The fruit cluster of
ripening berries will enable you to
identify the tree in early summer,
but as soon as the fruit is ripe
you will have to depend on some
other mark.
In this genus there are cousins
that grow in Southern Europe,
Northern Africa, China and Japan
and in Southwestern Asia. as we'll
as in Eastern and Western North
America. There are not many spe-
cies. All of them have delicate and
pretty flowers and foliage. These
