JOY Western films and mystery
stories in the provinces.
1T appears that England is al
most generation behind the United
States in economic and social con-
ditions. Wages are relatively low
and taxes high in comparison. Wages
for miners and railroad men, for ex-
ample, vary from SD to $40 per
week, yet food and clothing prices
are as high here as in the States.
Few farmers own their own land.
1t is usually held by Lord or Earl
leased on 99-year basis. The land
is passed on to the owners legal
heirs, and the man who tills the soil
can only look forward to a renewed
lease at its expiration.
QUAINT HOMES
Homes are usually built of stone
and. have thatched roofs. They have
quaint, almost antique appearance,
yet are very attractive.
Electric refrigerators, ranges.
electric irons and modern bathroom
facilities are practically unknown to
the typical rural resident. Automo-
miles are owned only by those in the
higher financial brackets, and most
of the cars are about the size of an
Austin or a WHY'S.
Educational facilities for the
masses are provided only up to ID
years. Usually only the landed gent
ry and professional classes can afford
to send their children to academies
or universities"

CANDY FOR CHILDREN
"Only children get candy or sweets
in England. They are rationed to
what would amount to six fve-cent
bars per month. Little wonder that
every English kid greets you with
Amy candy, Andy?" or "Any gum,
Chum?". The Yanks are quite gen.
erous and naturally very popular
with the youngsters.
bicycling seems to be national
phobia. Almost everyone rides
bike and it isn't unusual to see
woman of 70 years cycling to the
village market.
"The English really go in for uni
forms. Every town or village of any
size has its hobbies in their digni-
fed regalia. Bright buttons, white
gloves, neatly tailored dark blue uni
forms and high-crowned bobby he'll

The postmen also are regaled in
fancy dress.
ct is easy to spot the country
gentleman, an aristocratic land
owner, who frequently is an Earl or
Lord. He offers a debonair appear
ance with his brightly colored tweed
jacket, knickers, bright hose, checked
cap or feathered headpiece and the
ever-present walking stick. He in
variably smokes a fancy pipe.
England and the Isles are, famous
for their strengthening dogs. At the

Three Weeks Drought

aches over the last three months be-
cause of surplus of eggs.
Corn Affected
Corn, normally one of the last
crops to show the effect of prolonged
dry weather, is beginning to droop,
and many fields seeded late in the
season will need plenty of rain at
the right time during the rest of the
summer TO assure the making of a
crop in the fall.
Continued heat, with temperatures
in the "nineties" nearly every day
has further aggravated the situation,
and the hot sun beating down day
after day has baked the surface of
cultivated fields into a hard crust
that light showers cannot help to
any appreciable extent.
Victory gardeners have been
particularly hard hit by the drought,
anu tic lOlSci uIy WedlltI IdSlS
the greater their loss in vegetables
will become. After three unusually
good seasons of growing weather,
town gardeners had almost forgotten
the headaches that a reversal could
bring, and altho there has been
some watering of garden plots, for
the most part there has been no
way of providing relief for parched
vegetables.
Prevailing conditions have no
parallel in recent history, and offer
a marked contrast to this time last
year when the area was suffering
from flood water conditions. Last
June and July brought unusually
heavy rainfall, but this summer the
last soaking rain was on June 2,
and the last shower was on June %.
The only advantage resulting from
the drought has been the uninter-
rupted harvest of wheat, the peak of
which will be past this week, but
rainfall now would be welcomed by
the farmers even at the expense of
delaying the completion of the
harvest.

of the hearings will be, is reported to be against reservations He said to expressed this opinion during August in letter which has just recently been made public Following statement, the Governor of Alaska and Deegate-Elect Bob Bartlett also have come out as being against reservations
 Both the Secretary of the Interior and the Gov ernor express themselves as favor of securing from Congress compensation for the Indians if they can prove to the Secretary that land which is rghtfuy their land has been taken from them without com pensation.
 There is still inking as to what form such compensation might take. We of the opinion that it would definitely not be cash settlement. Most probably such compensation would be awarded with the provision that the money is spent for the Indians by their guardian, the Department of the Interior through the Office of Indian Affairs Some of this money probably would be spent in providing better education, health facilities etc. for the Indians
 But the aim of the Department of the Interior is this
 The Department wants to come into Southeast Alaska and all over Alaska, in the guse of the guardian of the Indians, and monopolize eventually the fishing industry of Alaska.
 Canneries traps and boats the surface would belong to the Indians who would get their profits in the form of better schools hospitals medical care, welfare work provided by the Office of Indian Affairs in the same manner such services are provided now but adequate scale.
 Government sponsored canneries could easily force private canneries of business They could sell at loss until such time they gained control of the field.
 Such thing would have disastrous effect upon the Territory because the Government sponsored can neries would pay taxes to the Territory.
 Such a scheme has been worked before in Alaska. It was used in 1915 1916 by the Interior Depart ont Of he re meat business when the Office of Indian Affairs pushed the Lomen Brothers out of the reindeer meat market simply by hauling the meat freight free to the States and cutting the price.
 It should be apparent even from the few hints given out that the present scheme is the sociaizaton of the fishing industry of Alaska. The fish will be harvested much along the lines as the rich seal herds are butchered and skinned by the Department.
 So don't let this sudden flow of talk about the Interior Department officials and their stooges being against reservations fool you.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21
 Early hours today are luckier than those after noon. Much cause for national rejoicing is foreseen. The Navy continues under benefic aspects.
 HEART AND HOME: This should be a date favorable to the work of college girls. In the home high ambitions will rule many families. Although Aquarian in fluences will be felt, warning is given that public amusements will remain strongly appealing to physical enjoyment.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Lessons of the past will be studied by econo- mists and businessmen. The stars indicate that plans to prevent the hard times that usually follow a war will be temporarily successful. The next few months will con- tinue prosperous in the United States; holiday spending will be generous.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Decentral- ization of Government will be more and more stressed by statesmen of vision who deprecate conditions in Washington. Certain astrologers prophecy that states will gain greater independence and will be districted North, East, Middle West, South, Southwest, West and Northwest, according to their spe- cial concerns.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS: According to Moon charts the Bal kans appear to belong, to the Rus sian orbit of influence. Astrologers forecast growth of Stalin's power and expansion of Soviet interests.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro- gress in business or professional matters. Love affairs may be dis turbing to many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious, industrious, popular and successful Too much sentimentality may be a pitfail.

WOMEN OF CHINA
 EUL0GIzED, FILM
 AT 10TH CENTURY

A fighting role in 20th Century, Foxs China Girl" brought burly Victor McLaglen back to the studio where he first won fame, his first stint there in nearly five years.
 It was at goth Century-Fox that he made some of the greatest pie lures of his career, starting with the silent era and the early talkie days, when he starred in What Price Glory"
 His role in China Girl now showing at the goth Century The atre, is right up his alley. He al most bristles as a swashbuckling soldier of fortune caught in the maelstrom of the war in Asia. He fights with his fists; he fights with guns; he has plenty of chance to talk hard as nails. It's a tailor made McLaglen characterization.
 The two-fisteo actor, who reach ed the pinnacle of his profession in "The Informer," has made many films. but China Girl" which stars George Montgomery, Gene Tier ney and Lynn Bari, is one of his best.

10000 CHICKS DIE DAILY FROM
OVERCROWDING ON FARMS

Delaware poultrymen are losing
more than 10000 chickens a day as
a result of overcrowding in poultry
houses as a buyers strike against
OPA price ceilings went into it's
third week and was causing the
birds to accumulate on farms. This
was revealed by DR.. Thomas Hayes
of Smyrna, poultry pathologist of
the State Board of Agriculture,
who said the loss of 10000 daily
was a Conservative estimate for
Delaware alone. However, DR..
Hayes declined to give an estimate
of the monetary loss. On the basis
of 2S1s cents pound with the av-
erage weight of each chicken at
three pounds this would mean a
loss of nearly $4,000 a day. AS
they continue to liam up" on the
farms the daily loss will become
greater and unless some action is
taken the poultry situation for
growers will become critical.
Overcrowded Conditions
DR.. Hayes pointed out that any
overcrowding is bound to cause an
