The Seattle Steelheads, after
two weeks of play in the Pacific
Northwest, definitely meets the
approval OF the majority of base
ball fans. The team lost its first
game on opening day when the
san Diego Tigers came from be-
hind and won to :. but since
then have won every game played
by close and interesting scores.
The Steelheads left Tuesday morn
ing for games at Yakima, Spo-
kane and Vancouver b. c., and
will return to Sticks Seattle Sta
dunn for games with Southern
California cl lbs when the Seattle
Rainiers mex. leave for the south.
Criticism of the Steelhead uni
forms which have been heard
often in the grandstand was clari-
fled somewhat when We interview
ed the management and the play
ers and learned that new uniforms
have been ordered many months
but have not yet been delivered.
Manager Paul Hardy requested
us to inform the people of Seattle
that the players themselves have
heard this criticism and feel it
very keenly and understand that
the people of Seattle deserve a
much better personal appearance
from the team that represents
them.

YOUR MOST IMPORTANT LETTER

You have an important letter to
write; it is the most important letter you
have to write, regardless of what other
letter is awaiting your attention.
You don't have to put any writing in
side of this letter unless you are sending
a check. The only writing you have to do
is on the envelope, and then you have to
write only six letters-six letters that
spell word that strikes dread into hun
dreds of thousands of hearts in the United
States-CANCER.
After oyu have written the word on
an envelope and have put your check or
money inside the envelope and have sealed
it, drop it into one of the slots in the post
office, and the letter will find its way to
the American Cancer Society,"
Last year the society collected S4,-
100000 to fight cancer; this year the goal
is S12000,000 to wage an about fight
against that dreadful disease. The society
says:
I'VE dread cancer above all other
diseases. Therefore, it stands among the
causes of suffering and death as man.

Every year scientific advances make
it possible to save more people from can

Every year We grow older, however,
cancer increases as a personal danger
THE race between these two factors
is the vital thing which concerns us.
I'VE are concerned with it in every
age of life. Even among babies, children
and youths cancer takes an appalling toll.
This year it will kill nearly 1000 Ameri-
can boys and girls who will not live to see
their twenty-first birthday anniversary.
"One out of every six deaths among
people of middle age is caused by cancer.
Thus a vast number of cancers victims
are stricken when still at the height of
their powers"
An all-out fight is on against cancer,
and every American who is in a position

WHY BLACK MARKET

A representative of the American
Meat Institute reports that impartial
housewife shoppers checked on ceiling
prices in 803 stores in eleven cities and
found that eighty-three per cent of the
stores exceeded ceiling prices in their
sales
These figures if taken as correct. in
dictate that the effort of the OPA to hold
down prices is being nullified, to some de-
gree, by the willingness of buyers to pay
more than ceiling prices.
While there have been a number of
ION the side" transactions in connection
with sales at ceiling prices, it is hard to
understand how the stores checked locat-
ed in the larger cities of the nation, get by
with excessive prices. Certainly, if eighty
three per cent of the stores violate ceiling
prices, everybody in the area must know
about it.

Gerrnaine wrinkled his brow in

Rush hesitated. 81 seem to

Germaine rang for Horace and
the ancient butler showed Rush

Germaine's room.
In the short half hour he spent
in Paul Germaine's room he ex-
hausted every possible hiding
place short of a secret panel, and
even that he insured against by

found absolutely nothing. He
hadn't, in fact. expected to find
anything. He had no idea where
the younger Gernaine had hid
den his treasure, but he had a
feeling it would be in a less ex-
pected place than his own room.
His search completed. Rush left
with only word through the
door to Germaine that his labor
had been fruitless. Rather than
call cab he walked the distance
to the Drive, thinking as he went.
He had walked only matter of
steps on the Drive before a cruis-
ing cab hove alongside and Rush
got in, giving the address of
Barney's.
It was too late even to be
fashionable when he decided to
find dinner. He dawled over that
meal, reading the paper and find
ing in a half column on page two
that the police knew nothing
they hadn't known the afternoon
before. 1t was after ten o'clock
when he emerged from the res
taurant and gave a cabbie the
West Side address of Markio's.

THE MIND MUST BE FREE

If the truth is destined to make men
free, and the statement comes from ex-
cellent authority, then it behooves human
beings to diligently search for the truth,
whatever may be the result of their sincere
study.
Obviously, it is impossible for mind
stepped in ignorance, prejudice, supersti-
ton or self-interest to make an approach
to the objective consideration of facts that
tend TO reveal the truth
Consequently, those who are inter-
ested in the truth, as an objective of
human endeavor, should seek to rid them
selves of ignorance, prejudice, superstitu-
tOin and self-interest. Teach ers and
preachers, who assume to lead others.
must first of all divest themselves of the
impedimenta that otherwise bind their
vision. The same obligation rests upon all
of US.
