IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED!

This week, for the fisst time in 27 years mufflers were put on the exhaust of the Wrangell Cold Stor- age.
 News of it will probably come as welcome to salesmen and tourists who said they tried to sleep at the hotel with the old loud and ryth- mic thump-thump-thump just a. cross the street.
 Personally, we're sorry to see il muffled. Always reminded us of boat chugging into port. At any rate, it's just possible that tho was where ona certain song writer got his inspiration = The Thing.

Interim appoint ment of Deputy Auditor Neil F. Moore has been made by the ap- pointing board consisting of the Governor. the Attorney General and Treasurer, to fill the vacancy created by the death last Friday of Frank A.

 One of the prize bits of mis- information about Alaska at the moment, and perhaps of all time, is found in the remarks of Senator Jonh c. Stennis of Mississippi dur ing the discussion on Alaska state hood in the Senate It's worth a quote in any uninformed league. including that of Mississippi. Said he:
 'T think, Mr. President. that the most significant fact connected with this whole question that any Territory which may be granted statehood will have two votes on the floor of the Senate, the only remaining major deliberatiye body in the world. If Alaska and Hawaii were admitted into the Union we would bring in four new members who could vote and pass on the domestic affairs of the people of Michigan, for example. 1 am sure such new members would be men or women of integrity. However. with all the candor and all defer ence to their integrity, how can they know anything about the do- mestic affairs of the people of Michigan - However, my main point is that we would take two territories into the Union of Sates and give their representative power to vote and pass on domestic and foreign affairs of our country, to which they are not attached geographically. to which they are not attached in background, and to which in many ways they are not attached in culture, ideals or ideas Many people in these areas cannot possibly have any concep- tion of constitutional government, of the common law of England, or the very bedrock of our constitu- tional government I am thinking of the far-reaching consequences if we are to admit these areas as States
 Having no conception of consti- tutional government and lacking culture, ideals or ideas, Merry Christmas, Senator, or have you folks down in Mississippi ever heard of such an event?

Even in some private bust

is pursued with ruthless, ex-
aggerated zeal, it is considered
criminal in this enlightened
age to fire without benefits of
any kind, workers who have
given long years of service. It
is not expected that a govern

less. The Virgin Islands Cor

that its working force is not a

Since Virginia courts insist on
the death penalty for Negroes in
rape cases and in all but one case
have failed to require the death
penalty for white men indicted
for raping or attempting to rape
women, Frith's case has attracted
wide interest. The record shows
that the lone white man who was
sentenced to death in a rape case
in Virginia actually served only
seven years of a life term after
the governor committed his death
sentence.

Retires After II Years
With Alcohol Tax Unit

CHICAGO (ANP) Jesse Mer-
chant, who spent 81 years as a
chemist in the alcohol tax unit
laboratory of the internal revenue
department, retired recently with
a watch, pen and pencil set, a
scroll and the best wishes of fell
low workers.
Merchant, a native of Kentucky,
had a total of Al years in govern
ment service, 10 of which were
spent with the agriculture depart
ment's pure food section. He join
ed the alcohol testing laboratory
as an associate early in 1920.
During prohibition, his job was
to test samples of whiskey, beer
and other forms of liquor to de-
termine whether they contained
sufficient alcohol to support the
governments cases against boot
leggers. Post-prohibition days saw
him testing liquor samples to de-
termine whether they were in
conformity with labels on their

Of the "old days.:
ut was quite different then : :
you could get a quart of good
stuff for 25 cents. Now, it's diff
icult to tell whether whiskey is
good regardless of the price"
He attributed the lowering in
quality to the abuses of the prac-
tice of blending WHISTLES. He al
so said he frequently tested "vin-
egar" which proved to have a
high alcoholic content and "can-
ed fruit" bottled in intoxicating
juices. "Snake whiskey" was an
other of the unusual varieties of
liquor which he tested. This "bug
juice, still preserved at the la
boratory, not only contained a
quart of potent liquor, but also a
snake nearly II inches long.
Merchant graduated from the
University of Kentucky, Lexing-
ton, in 1904 as a pharmaceutical
chemist. He later attended night
classes at the Chicago Medical
school from 1916 to 1918. He has

is now in second place with a 6-3

ever, by the fact that Archie Frame,
their hustling manager and catch

him inactive indefinitely. The Five
