The Juntau Cold Storage Company has just announced the redemption of $10,000 in bonds issued some four years ago to finance the construction and equipment of the magnificent plant it owns and operates here. This is the fourth block to be taken up, the aggregate totaling $35,000. It has also paid promp the inter on its bonded indebtedness. Further than that, it has added materially to the original plant without additional financing, paying for the improvements from current earnings.

The nation's foreign- born population whites of voting age numbered 12,- 637,643, or which 7 436 were naturalized and hence potential voters. Of the remainder 1,128,416 had taken out their first papers. By no means all of the population of native and foreign-born nat- uralized citizens of voting age, amounting to 67,- 933,417, were qualified voters. Some of them, a rela- tively small number, however, are disqualified for various causes, and of those who are qualified to vote a large percentage fail to do so. This is evidenced by the national election re- the country cast its largest vote for President. The total in that yzar was 86,724,823 out of an estimated population of 119, 861,607. It is evident that there is a dangerously ' high percentage of the total number of voters whc have no active interest in nationa! politics.

These irresponsible demands are loud, but they represent a very small minority of the population. Another group, larger and more influential, is loud in opposing any dole to unem- ployed, without sponsoring any alternative to meet the pressing need. One point of view is as bad as the other. Grasp- ing for the public funds in reckless haste would be a catastrophe. . But refusal to admit the existence of a grave problem is likely to lead to even more serious consequences later. The need is for a mod- erate course that will meet the problem adequately, yet without the exiravagance and clumsy machinery of the dole.

I'm so delighted with what we bought and I'm just wild aboutthe little orange parrot head on- the side of my brown hat that goes with my afternoon frocks.

Mcther is a wonder at shopping. She knows in advance just what she wnats so it's a joy instead of an ordeal. She’s studied me, and she's studied the styles and she knows just what things I can wear best. We went into an exclusive shop on Connecticutt avenue, and were shown some lovely things. T wore my black crepe dress with satin scarf of coral and white and small black hat to shop in. We selected four dresses, one a ball gown, another for evening and two for afternoon. The evening gown is adorable. It's of coral satin, perfectly plain except for a girdle of brown velvet leaves, the old-fashioned kind that mother says were used for trim- ming years ago. The dress is long, molded to the figure and very low in the back. Then we bought some high-heel- | ed evening sandals of pink satin to go with it, and some misty, pink- ish open work silk hose. The ball gown is of white chiffon embroid- ered in silver tube beads.

However, he declined the Ala- baman’s offer to permit his little daughter to accompany him back ‘o Texas to take care of him in he future. A Shot that Missed Incidentally the Democratic lead- er revealed another incident of that day which failed to get in the papers for some reason. He had started out that morn- ng with a small rifle to do a lit- le shooting. Spotting a squirrel n a tree right away, he cracked! down. Almost instantly a shout came from the direction of his| house. It was the voice of Mrs. Garner: “Watch where you are shoot- ing. You'll kill someone!” He had missed the squirrel and the shot had fallen on the house. “The old proverb that ‘An idle brain is the idevil's workshop’ I put the rifle down and started helping a man who was trimming a tree. And then the danged imb had to fall on my hip.” Evidently the “Hon. Jack” is not | 15 adept with rifle shots in Texas | is he is with his political shots on the hill.
