FinIand's Swedish Population $50, 900

An impressive exhibition, show
ing some of the most important
cultural achievements of the
Swedes in Finland, was held in
Stockholm in October.
It contained more than one
thousand books, all of them in the
Swedish language and published
in Finland, including first editions
of the works of Johan Ludwig
Runeberg (18O4-1877) and Zach
arias Topelius (1818-189S). Rune
berg is Finland's best known and
most beloved poet, and in Sweden,
where the school children learn
some of his poems and songs by
heart, he is held in the same ven
Grafton. His most widely known
book of poems is dedicated to the
heroes of the war of 18O8-1809
against Russia, as result of
which Finland was severed from
Sweden after having been part of
the realm for six hundred years.

Scandinavian Air|ines Merger Planned

The Swedish, Norwegian and
Danish airlines have drawn up a
draft proposal which would COM
plete their present limited COOP
Grafton in the Scandinavian Air
lines System = SAS. Under the
proposed 25-year agreement, the
three lines would form a new 200
million kroner corporation, also to
be known as SAS.
The new company would take
over all rights. obligations, assets
and liabilities Of the present SAS,
except for real estate holdings in
the three nations. Shares in the
200 million kroner company would
be divided in the ratio 2:2:3, with
the Swedish line holding majority
interest.
Ii the proposal goes through,
the Norwegian line would be OBJ
ligated to contribute Is million
kroner's worth of material, in
GLIDING one DEG, to equalize its
proportionate share of the capital.
Altogether, the new SAS would
operate a fleet of 81 planes. The
reorganization is designed to
achieve greater efficiency of OPP
erations, with lower costs and

The proposed 5-year agreement
would require State guarantee of
operating losses up to two mil

The merger proposal will be dis

held at Sola, Norway, in the near

Residence and DomiciIe

The important question of where
a man resides was decided on
April II. 1919, by our State Su-
preme Court in the case of In the
Matter of the Estate of Ernest c.
LaSSin. Deceased.
Mr.. Ernest c. Lassin died in
Alaska III 1916 He had come
from Wisconsin IN 1914 with Mrs.

er-o1 navy yard and then was

Wisconsin. Mrs Lassin remained
in Wisconsin with her family aT70
Mr.. LaSsin returned 10 Bremerton
and went from there to Alaska
Mrs. Lassin did not return to
Bremerton until after Mr. Lassin :
death. The question for the court
to decide was whether Mr. LaSsin
was a resident Of kitsap County.
Washington, at TIE time Of his
death. If he were then his estate
could be probated there. If he were
not then the Washington court did
not have jurisdiction as he did not
leave any property in the State
of Washington.
Our court pointed out that to
give Kitsap County jurisdiction in
the matter it would be necessary
to establish that Mr.. Lassin's do
micile was there at the time of his
death. The two elements of domi-
Gle, said the court, are residence in
fact coupled with a purpose to
make the place of residence ones
home.
The court went on to state that
a domicile, once established, con-
tinues until it is superseded by a
new domicile. Every person has
a domicile, and no person can have
more than one domicile.
The decision of the court was
that the domicile of Mr.. Lassin
was in Bremerton at the time of
his death. In arriving at its de-
cision the court said that it was
convinced that the Lassins estab-
lished their residence in Bremen
ton in 1914 and they never lost it.
Their subsequent stay in Wiscon-
sin was but for a few weeks and
was temporary. Mr.. Lassin's con-
tract for his Alaska job was for
eighteen months and his living
there was not with the intent of
actually making Alaska his home
Hence, not having established
any new residence the old Bremen
ton domicile was still in effect and
the Washington court had jurisdic-
ton of the probate proceedings.

That was Monday, Charley
Fippen's bowling night. which
meant that he dashed out imme-
diately after dinner. 1t wasn't
until Tuesday that he discov-
cred his wife's perfdy. Dorothy
had just put the chops on to
broil when the anticipated out
cry came from above. She went
to the foot of the stairs, her heart
failing her at the sight of Charley
on the landing, his knees bare.
Il can't find my tweed pants"
he complained.
PUT on those nice gabardine

foot of the bed," she said in the
same tone she used when urging
Roger to take his cod-liver oil.

"You Whdt?"
Il gave them away" His hor-
rifed face, his pale reproachful
knees floated above her in space.
Excuse me" she said hurriedly,
the chops are burning =" She
turned and ran.
When Charley finally descend
ed the stairs for dinner, she saw
with some misgiving that he had
ignored her suggestion to don
the slacks and was wearing the
trousers of his business suit.
There was a certain reserve in
his manner and occasionally she
caught him looking at her with
an expression which seemed to
say: How could you, my own
wife, have done this thing to me?
After dinner. he retired, not to
sprawl comfortably as was his
custom on the couch in the sun
room, but to sit reading in the
living room. When little Judy
started to climb onto his lap, he
said with kindly firmness, mot
tonight, darling. Daddy has to
keep the press in these trousers.

tinged by guilt, Dorothy burst
out, you do make me weary!

"I'll grant that" Dorothy ad-
mitted. She could see that she
would have to resort to under
hand methods.
On Monday morning she as
sembled her rummage articles,
and with feeling of burning her
bridges behind her, included the
rainbow tweeds. En- route to the
collection point in the basement
of the school, she stopped at
Joe's Emporium and bought a
pair of neat, gray gabardine
slacks. "A pant" the clerk as
sured her, that combines both

presented with such an all

on hand to receive the donations
and seemed to be throwing her
self wholeheartedly into the task

the long table, Dorothy felt that,
for the moment at least, all social
barriers were down between her
and the boss's wife.

approval. Those are very good"
she said.
