MEANING OF
RATE. RAISE
IS PRoBED

|
Lending further evidence that
the recent As per cent increase in
freight rates on Alaskan steamship
lines will not alarmingly increase
the retail price of items purchased
in Juneau was report made by a
special committee of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
Following is section of the
report, dealing with the increases in
local prices and compiled after
actual contact with a number Of
Juneau merchants: e
ION merchants invoices it was
! figured that low and medium priced
furniture, such as bed room sets,
would increase in price about u
per cent to cover increased freight
only Medium and low priced liv-
ing room furniture would increase
from 10 to Is per cent, and furn-
iture in the higher grades about 8
per cent There would be little or
no advance on rugs of better quail
| ties.
Nails by the keg would be IS
cents higher. but by the pound
there would be no increase, as the
increased freight is a quarter cent
per pound. Guns, ammunition and
tools would cost the merchant about
per cent more delivered here, so
probably there would be an in
crease of this amount in guns, but
none in ammunition or tools.
One grocery voucher was check
ed. 1t included only green stuff,
which is greatly affected by any
percentage increase in freight.
Selling price ..-................, $18096
Freight (no surcharge) -. 1929
Wharfage .~...............,...... 4.51
As per cent surcharge equals
S12-73, or z per cent of selling price.
Total freight and wharfage is IS
per cent of selling price.
Another invoice of potatoes was
checked as follows
One sack, selling price -.....S465
Freight ............................... ct
Surcharge 80 cents or 6 per cent
of selling price
"A typical example of canned
goods is as follows
One case corn, selling price, So. SO
One case milk, selling price 4.5O
AOIdi Sl Us
Freight and wharfage - S1.65
Surcharge 20 cents, or three and
three-quarters per cent of selling
price
ON drugs the freight increase be-
cause of the surcharge is too small
on most articles to be added to
the selling price.
Roughly averaging it all up on
a basis of what the average family
might buy, it seems that the in
crease occasioned by the As per cent
freight surcharge would increase
selling prices less than 8 per cent.
On $50 monthly grocery bill,
this would not be more than So.

Sarah will be in in two hours" he
told Wong. .and-Waterson himself
is on board
Charles Wong, stumbling after
him out of the radio shack, looked
as if he had seen ghost; obviously
he had been able to hear, and to
understand, the international code.
"Do-do you want your brothers
to know?"
"It doesn't make a particle of diff
ference, either way
81 was just thinking" the Chinese
said. his voice was thick and hesi-
tant. He cleared his throat and tried
again. st was just thinking that if
they knew-if they knew, they might
be rushed into some compromise
that would be-that would be unfa-
vorable to-"
s'It doesn't matter what deal they
make with Colt" Dick said. "This
thing has passed out OF John Colt s
hands-just the same as it has
passed out of mine.
Charles Wong waited a moment,
and seemed about to say something
more: but changed his mind. and
lowered himself over the side into
the waiting boat.
The launch chartered its way back
to the dock, and presently, after it's
voice had died. there came across
the water the sound of a racing
automobile engine as Charles Wong,
handling his car badly, raced
through the village toward the hills.
Dick stood for some minutes with
his hands on the rail. staring at the
darkening sea. Roughly checking
known distance against the relative
speeds of the Sarah and the Holo-
kai, he estimated that Garrett Wa
terson must have pointed the Sarah
north no more than few hours after
Dick had set sail with the HoIokai.
If Garrett Waterson had given
Dick more fully his confidence, or il
Dick himself had not been in such
haste to race north with the Holokai
against all orders of her owner, ev.
cry phase of their situation would
be different now. Yet, viewing II
as he did, he could not be sorry that
he had acted when he had. It seemed
to him now that only Waterson's de.
lay had given him such opportunity
as remained. 1t was an opportunity
that was diminishing minute by min.
ute, cut away by the steady drive
Of the Sarah's screw.
Hurriedly Dick Wayne's eyes
swept the bay. An outrigger canoe
sailed silently in the light air by {
single Hawaiian spearman, wa:
coming in across the still water from
a days fishing beyond the reefs
Dick sent a low whistle across thu
water, and the outrigger sheered il
close to the side of the Holokai.
"Take me over to that stranger
boat" Tonga Dick swung over the
rail and dropped into the moving
canoe.
"Okay, Captain Dick"
Karen Waterson was still stand
ing by the rail, quiet and alone, al
the silent outrigger sliced close. Ton
ga Dick stood up, reached the boat
low rail, and swung aboard.
"Stand on and off," Dick told th'
Kanaka fisherman, "and wait TO
me-"

Incidentally the defense savings
committee reports that organizations
of the community are responding to
the appeals in most heartening
manner. Many of the men and wom-
en- asked to work in the campaign
are extremely busy with other duties
but they are gladly donating hours
of their time to make Buttons par

Joe Bronson, 7th grade student,
works hard for his spending money

CHAPTER Karen Waterson. convinced
by her lawyer. John Colt, that she has a
claim to the island estate and fortune OF
her grandfather. Garrett Waterson. arrives
In Honolulu to attempt TO gain control of the
property Here she meets Richard Wayne,
or Tonga Dick. as he Is known throughout
the South Pacific. He is member of the
Wayne family that has been in control OF
her grandfather's island. Alakoa, since the
old mans disappearance. Although Tonga
Dick knows who she Is. Karen attempts to
conceal her identity from him. Dick offers
to take her sailing and she accepts.
CHAPTER u-Dick goes to the home of
his haf-brothers. Ernest and Willard, for a
conference regarding their interest in Ala
koa. In the course OF their discussion Ii is
revealed that the Wayne family obtained
the island for a small sum and under the
direction of the boys uncle. James Wayne.
il has been developed to where it has as
sets OF around three million dollars. The
Waynes are worried that Karen may have
q good claim to the island.
CHAPTER III-Next day as Dick takes
Karen sailing she learns that he knows who
she is and that he is taking her to A1akoa.
She wants to go back to Honolulu but he
refuses to take her.
CHAPTER Iv-Although she is thrilled
by the sight of the deep water island, Ala
koa, Karen Is afraid Of what awaits her
Wayne. is very ILL., When Dick sees him,
James Wayne Is upset over the pending
suit for the island and tells Dick he viii
under no circumstances come to a settle
ment.
CHAPTER v-Dick tries to get Karen to
reach a compromise for settling the status
of Alakoa, but she will have none of Ii and
tells him to discuss the matter with John
Colt, her lawyer. She also tells him that
a native house-girl, Lilua. Is romantically
interested In him. He laughs this off.
CHAPTER vI-That night during storm.
James Wayne Is found dead at his desk.
Dick realizes that he has died from over
work but believes some sort of shock must
have been the immediate cause: He be-
leves Karen was with his uncle at the time
of his death. Dick now decides to take
Karen back to Honolulu.
CHAPTER vH-On the way back Dick
tells Karen he loves her. They discuss
and she tells him that the matter must be
settled with Colt. They quarrel over this
and on reaching Honolulu part on unfriendly
terms, each decided to make fight for
Alakoa. While Karen is telling John Colt
about her experiences with Tonga Dick she

long period of time James Wayne had been

Except possibly" Tonga Dick
suggested mildly, 'syour own un-
trustworthiness. Though might add
one other secondary reason :"
His brothers ignored the insult.
'But of course" Ernest said with
sarcasm, che confided in you."
"I ran into Garrett Waterson
while I was knocking around the
South Seas" Dick explained. Lat
er, Uncle Jim found it convenient
to have me carry certain messages
to Garrett Waterson. That's all
there was to that"
Messages? What messages?"
There was no reason for holding
back anything now. He had been
employed by old Garrett Waterson
on condition of complete secrecy as
to Watersons whereabouts, identity
even his very existence. He had
decided to break that pledge, rather
than permit John Colt to seize Ala
koa in the name of Karen Waterson
or anyone else; but now that Gar
rett Waterson had come into the
open of his own accord, that consid-
Grafton was abolished.
"For a long time l didn't know
what messages" Dick told them. Il
believe I know now"
They failed to catch him up on
that, and the oversight emphasized
their bewilderment.
'sBut why on earth," Ernest de-
manded, 'sshould he have wished to
hide himself? That's the mystery
here"
There's no mystery about il"
Dick declared 1.-THE only reasons
his actions look mysterious to you is
that they were perfectly simple.
Garrett WaterSon was always man
of violent temperament. Everything
he did was in terms of violent ex-
tremes; the projects he attempted,
the fights he got into-even his eat
ing and drinking-everythi was
always on a spectacular scale with
him. When he was overtaken by
ultimate ruin, his reaction to that
was violent too. He left Alakoa,
and Hawaii, in a tremendously Bit
ter state of mind. He wanted to get
away from the past, and from the
part of the Pacific that he knew,
and never again see anyone who
had known him. And he carried out
his attitude in terms of violent eX-
treme, just as he had always done
everything else That's all there
was to that. What's complicated
about it?"
Its fantastic" Ernest declared.
'It's completely unreasonable. I
never heard of anything like it"
That's because you never hear
of anything that happens in the
world outside Alakoa," Dick said.
"You don't even take part in the life
of Honolulu If you did, you would
know that Garrett Waterson's reac-
ton to his financial collapse is a
very common sort of thing. Very
often men jump out of skyscrapers,
or shoot themselves, or drown. And
a great many more just drop from
view, and you never hear about
them any more. Garrett Waterson
was one of those-that's ALL"
Dropping from view is one
thing" Willard said heavily, "and
going to extraordinary lengths to
hide yourself, and conceal who you
are, is something else"
"Waterson went to extraordinary

In a spiral wave (the original
method) the hair is wound on long
rods from the scalp to the ends.
In croquinole. 1t is wound on short
er rods from the ends to the scalp
and is used for probably 90 per cent
of the waves given today. A spiral
requires 35 to so curls, steamed 10
to Is minutes. A croquinole from
rs to 35 curls, steamed ] to 10 min
utes. The spiral is naturally better
adapted than the croquinole to very
long hair, and its chief use today
is for this purpose, and for those
who want the wave started closer to
the scalp, which is possible with the
spiral wave. 1t is also preferred
for very fine hair by some opera
tors.
