In the course of spring, summer

charge the mutuel windows with
such optimistic dreams, will leave
some $55.000.000 in their morbid

And this doesn't include the tidy

One answer to this is that il said

DELEGATE DIM0ND
TRAVELS OVER HIS
AlASKAIAND ROUTE

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Oct. 30
For the first time in history an
Alaskan Delegate in the American
Congress has left his vast con-
stituency by land.
Anthony j. Dimond, Delegate from
Alaska in the United States House
of Representatives for the past Il
years, visited Whitehorse recently
on his way to Washington, D. c.,
via the new l,630-mile Alaska IN
ternational Highway.
Dimond drove from Whitehorse to
Dawson Greek on the famous road
with Col. Joseph P. Glandon, AM
erican Army officer commanding
the highway.
At Whitehorse, Dimond was the.
guest of Brig. Gen. James A. O'Con-
nor, Commanding General of the
Northwest Service Command, and
builder of the Alaska Highway.
After his trip with Col. Glandon.
Delegate Dimond wired Gen O'Con-
nor that his journey over the high
way was "eminently successful and
that he found the famous road in
even better condition than he had
anticipated. He congratulated Gen.
O'Connor on the progress and at
tainments made.
Dimond is one of the pioneer
advocates of a land route to Alaska.
His trip on the highway marked the
first time that an American Con-
gresham from Alaska ever had left
Alaska by land. Until the Alaska
Highway was completed, Alaska was,
as cut off by mountain wilderness
as a bona fide island is by the sea"
Dimond is a member of both the
Military Affairs and Naval Affairs
committees of the United States
House of Representatives. He has
son who is a first lieutenant in
the American Army.

USED CONSUMERS
DURABLE GOODS
NOW REGULATED

In effect as of October 16, sixteen
kinds of used consumers durable
goods were brought under new
overall regulation in Alaska which
is expected to effect considerable
savings to the public, Mrs Mildred
r. Hermann, the Alaska Director OF
the Office of Price Administration,
announces. ttf ft
The regulation Maximum Price
Regulation 429) covers not only
specified used articles but also these
same commodities when rebuilt, re-
conditioned, or renovated. The ar
ticles Include: used furniture, bed
ding, household sewing machines,
stoves, floor coverings, portable
lamps and lamp shades, miscellan-
eous houseware items, hand tools
and hardware items such as shovels,
wheelbarrows, hatchets and car
penter's tools. 1t also applies to
used baby carriages, musical instru-
ments except pianos, commercial
kitchen equipment, beauty and bar
Der shop furniture, fixtures and
equipment, store and office fixtures,
and coin-operated vending ma
chimes.
Used goods now are in greater
demand than ever before because
production of many new lines is
either prohibited or greatly re-
stricted by needs of the war effort.
These commodities previously were
held to March, 1912, sales prices
under the General Maximum Price
Regulation. The new regulations
affords a simpler annd more precise
formula and gives both OPA and
the consumer better control over
prices. The pricing formula is based
on the principle of comparing the
used article for resale with the
cost of a new article of the same
kind. If the used article is in good
condition" as spelled out in the
regulation, it falls into Glass I and
the seller may set the price at IS
per cent Of the selling price of the
article when new. If the used
article is in poor condition, it falls
into Glass II and the seller may
take SO lJ3 per cent of the original
new price for his ceiling
The regulation requires retailers
to post signs of a specified size at
some conspicuous spot in their
stores, enumerating the types of
merchandise governed. describing
the two classes into which it is
divided for quality pricing purposes,
and announcing that ceiling prices
for articles in Class I must not be
higher than rs per cent of the
present retail selling price of the
same or similar article when new;
and that used articles in Class II
must not be priced higher than 33
1I3 per cent of their selling price
when new.
Plans are under way to make this
ceiling price notice sign available
shortly to all retailers upon request
to their nearest OPA office.
Every used article covered by the
regulation and selling for $500 or
