Rewards Urged for
No-Accident Drivers

NEW YORK. Practical re-
wards for safe driving may be one
way of reducing motoring acct
dents, suggests Leonard M. Leon
ard, editor of the Journal of
Living.
"A man who constantly gets in
trouble with his auto should be
fined or imprisoned. But there
are plenty of people who have
operated cars for a quarter of a
century without ever getting a
ticket or even scraping a fender"
These are the drivers nobody
ever hears about, according to
Leonard. If law-abiders were re-
warded just as lawbreakers are
punished, the roads might be safer
places to travel.
The rewards Leonard suggests
are free license plates, or a life
time operators license subject to
continued good motoring.
Keeping your life is one kind
of reward for safe driving" he
adds, 'but it doesn't seem to i'm
press an awful lot of people"

Attention Ladies'!
Chor111 Begins at so!

NEW YORK The woman who
has passed her fiftieth birthday
may not win a beauty contest, but
she is likely to have poise and
assurance that 1e-year-old beauty
queen can envy but not emulate.
Maturity can not only be the
nnave serene but also the most
rejuannltive period of life, according
sights Rebecca Perry in the February
journal of Living. A woman of
fifty has time to develop her po-
tentialities as never before. There
is less fretting over trifles, more
tranquility of spirit, more under
standing. A mature personality is
more bewitching in its own way
than the mere physical attraction
of youth.
Many women today demonstrate
that maturity increases ones eff
fectiveness. Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Ethel Barrymore
are outstanding examples. Emily

STATE LAW?

ALIENATION OF AFFECTIONS


Our Supreme Court on January
10. 1850 handed down an impor-
tant decision with reference to
alienation Of affections. The case
was Lanlford-vs.- Tombari, Cause
No. 31026.
The plaintiff in the case married
his wife in 1898 and they had two
children. They lived quite hap
PLY together in Spokane until
1914 when the plaintiff entered
the Navy His wife thereupon
became a clerk in a pharmacy
operated by a male friend who was
to become the defendant in the
case.
The wife began to write less
and less frequently to her husband
in the Navy and she began to
spend more and more time both
at work and after work with her
new employer. A relationship
arose between the wife and her
employer which was not very con-
ducive to the best interests of her
marriage ties with her husband.
Her employer took her home
several nights a week as late as
300 am. and she permitted him
to come into her home at that
hour and permitted him to use
the family car. The relationship
was such that it aroused gossip
and the usual rumors among her
neighbors.
When the husband returned
from his service in the war they
again took up married life to-
gether but he discovered that she
was not pleased by his return and
became indifferent towards him
The wife continued to associate
with her old employer and this
fact was soon learned by the hus-
band. A divorce action followed
in which the husband secured Gus
tody of the children and he there.
upon sued his wife's employer
charging alienation of affections
The Supreme Court pointed out
that the evidence that has herein
above been outlined was sufficient
to sustain a cause of action. II
affirmed the verdict of the lower
court and gave a judgment to the
husband against the pharmacist
in the amount of SIS 10000.

have had distinguished careers in
the years well past fifty.
Qualities associated with youth
are determined not by ones years,
but by ones mental outlook. If
middle age tempts you to get into
rut, warns the Journal of Liv-
ing, don't do it! Queen Victoria
began to study Hindustani at the
age of 80. Lady Mendl was just
past go when she learned to swim.
Adeline Reynolds graduated from
college at 20, made her debut as
an actress at IS and became a
star at 80!
How should the woman Of fifty
accent her charm? It's easy. says
Miss Perry. Don't try to look
years younger than you are or
you'll only look ridiculous. Stop
apologizing for your age. Make
the most of your assets gained by
your practice in the art of living.
Keep your mind alert. The years
hang lightly when you continue to
seek new experiences.

n Meters of the

BY JOHN L. BOUNT

We have just learned that Harry
Edward Roller, Civil and struc-
trual Engineer, is a candidate for a
replacement" position on the City
Council in the coming elections
and there is something about this
effort on his part that seems very
fitting and proper and even at
tractive to the writer of this arti-
Gle; the first part being the very
title of his standard" qualification
as indicated above. It seems that
the City Council in a fast GROWN
and progressive city with the ear
marks" of Seattle, would need and
sincerely desire, that at least a
reasonable portion of our CITY
f theirs" be men technically
trained and with a constructive
conception of the more important
problems with which the body"
has to deal

ability, of course, likewise neces-
sary.

ally and otherwise, and recognized

which is needed in any lawn aking
body. We also believe from two
other instances--that Mr.. Roller
would not hesitate to stand up for
justice and democratic principals
in matters of City planning. zon-
ing. adequate housing and all the
necessary civic improvements 60
ing with such, regardless of race
or color of parties affected.
Mr.. Rollers training and de-
grees in Engineering are from the
University of Washington, the
Government University of Virginia
and the University of Michigan.
He holds a Professional Engineer

URBAN LEAGUE

The National Urban League an
nounced today its 18th Annual
Vocational Opportunity Campaign,
Marsh 1910. 1850 to focus nation
wide attention on the particular
need of youth to plan and prepare
realistically for future vocations.
Through speakers, exhibits, ca
reer clinics and literature. League
workers and volunteers in Sc Ur-
ban League cities and more than
500 schools in other communities
and rural areas reached over 310,-
900 young people during last
years campaign. Citation scrolls
were presented to participating
community agencies and schools to
mark their contribution to this
effort to accelerate the participa-
tion of Negro youth and other
minorities in Americas future
economy.
Stressing the point that the flu
ture of the American community
depends in large measure on the
training and character of today's
youth-who are tomorrow's citi-
zens, the Vocational Opportunity
Campaign will enlist the specia
aid of school administrators
teachers and counsellors through
out the nation to expand oppor'
tunities for training and educa'
ton.
Current literature on vocationa
guidance and occupational infor.
nation will be made available tt
hundreds of thousands of you'll
during the campaign. Widely.
known as VOC, the campaign has
popularized the slogan, 1.-THE Flu.
ture Is Yours-Plan and Prepare"
and is under the joint leadership
of Ann Tanneyhill, Director OF
Vocational Guidance and George
Edwards, Assistant Director of the
Southern Division of the National
Urban League.

RED CAPS FIGHT RISE
IN BAGGAGE RATES

CHICAGO AMP Willard S.
Townsend. president of the CLIO
Red Caps Union. sent a statement
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington asking that
a proposed Sc 2-3es increase in
rates for handling baggage by
porters at major railroad terminals
be disapproved.
Townsend pointed out that the
increase from 10 to 25 cents a bag
would cut the use of red cap serv-
ice. He suggested that porter ex-
penses be absorbed by the rail-
roads.

Hunt Will Try To Cut High Cost of

WASHINGTON, (R) - Senator D.-Wyo0 said today he hopes to find some method of "whittling away some of the terrific cost of defense efforts" in Alaska.

 With Senators Morse R.-Ore0 and Saltonstall R.-Mass), Hunt made an inspection trip to Alaska recently for the armed services preparedness sub comm t e e Their formal report is expected about the first of the year.

Fur Flies I'm Alaska With TrapperJoein Middle of War

ANCHORAGE, R-Joe Noo- gachik, Big Wassilie and Wassilie Snowfall are in for a tough time on the traplines this winter.
 With scores of other Eskimo trappers in western Alaska, they have found themselves right in the middle of a fight between fur buyers.
 The trouble stems from a price war between traders and fur buy CTS living in the wilderness, and big mail order firms "Outside" which are paying more for furs and buying them sight unseen. It's still too early to tell who is win ming, but Wassilie Snowfall and his friends vii have to pay in pelts no matter what the outcome.
 Up until a few years ago things were more or less serene. In the summer the Eskimo trappers fished for a living or worked in the canneries for their groceries.
 Come winter time they went to the White trader at Bethel or Dil- ingham or Holy Cross and bought some new traps. If they didn't have the dough the trader would grubstake them, giving them sup plies on credit and counting on a good trapping season to bring in a profit.
 "Why, I've got $37,0o0 in credit on my books," laments Dilling- ham trader. "With mail order houses offering more money for the furs than can afford to pay, I'm going broke"
 In the good old days Cbefore mail orderS the trappers throng- ed to little villages like Ugashik, Akiak, and Bethel with their furs. There they went from one trader to another.
 Wassilie Snowfall would un- pack his bundle of beaver and ot- ter pelts and say, 'How much?" The trader would make a face, look down his nose at the furs and murmur, 1.-two hundred dollars" !"
 "Umph!" Wassilie would reply, and go to the next fur buyer
