This month witnessed the fiftieth anniversary of | the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and Szattle Busi- | ness, published by the Chamber, for April 14 con- | tains the minutes the first meeting of that organization, which was held April 17, 1882 There is local interest in the circumstance that | the very business of the first meeting of the organization, after the election of officers, was the! adoption of resolutions that concerned Alaska. Fol- | lowing the paragraph that announced the election of officers in the minutes of that first meeting is| the following | The following resolution lating to mail service between Port Townsend Sitka was reported by the committee to | whom the matter was referred and un- | animously adopted by the Chamber of Com- merce, Vi | Whereas the contra for carrying the mail between Port Townsend and Sitka has been awarded to James P. Ludlow of this city, and Whereas, the Board of Trade of the city of Portland has adopted resolutions calling in question the ability of Mr. Ludlow to carry out said contract, Now therefore be it resolved by the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Seattle that we here protest this extraordinary ac- tion of the Board of Trade of Portland as an unwarrantable intermeddling with a mat- ter which in no concerns it, and Be further olved that upon most careful inquiry and interrogation on the pa: of the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Seattle it is r that the con-+ tractor, James P. Ludlow, is ready and able to provide the most ample facilities in the way of safe and suitable steamboats for the nsportation of said mail in accordance with the requirements of his contract. A motion was made and carried to transmit by telegraph to the Postmaster General of the United States a copy of the foregoing resolution, and that a tele- gram be sent to our Delegate, Thomas H. Brents, calling his attention to the resolu- tion and requesting his assistance and co- operation in presenting the matter to the Postmaster General. It is gratifying to know that the first act of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Alaska’s old faithful friend, related to this North Country. That was a half century ago, and the organization is continuing to serve this Territory. For many years now it has had an Alaska Department. For the last decade an Alaska pioneer, Charles D. Gar- field, formerly for many years a very worthy citizen of Juneau, has been at the head of the Alaska Committee. He has worked with unmceasing energy and great intelligence for the best interest of Alaska. Alaska apreciates the consistency of the Seattle Chamber which began its career with an Alaska subject and is still largely concerned in the welfare of the Territory. of first re he and | the official " BANKHEAD TO STAY IN OFFICE. The Senate Elections Committee has decided to report in favor of Senator John H. Bankhead in the contest that was brought against him for his seat in the Senate by former Senator J. Thomas Heflin. The returns from the election gave Bankhead, who had received the Democratic nomination, a majority of more than 50,000 over the then Senator Helfin. The latter ran as an independent but proclaimed his simon-pure Democracy in the campaign. As a basis of his contest, former Senator Heflin alleged that Senator Bankhead had expended a few dollars more than the lawful amount to secure his election and that ballots had been cast by those who faudulently represented themselves to be legal voters. in a | Japan |than during the industrial collapse of 1921 . . | been |the {his retention on the payroll is likely two-year Asiatic plant expedition. Last year seeds were grown on the Arlington Experi- ment Farm in Virginia, and ‘this year the varieties will be sent to experiment stations in different regions of the United States to test them under conditions most nearly like those Manchuria, Korea, and Formosa, where they grow naturally. The soybeans vary from - those which ripen in 78 days to those which require 173 or more he in days to ripen. The States to which the beans will be sent for planting this year are: Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, pi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisi- consin, New York, Indiana, and Massachu- ana, W setts. Soybean production has increased rapidly in the United States in the last few years. In 1929, it was estimated that 886,000 acres were harvested, while n 1931 this figure had jumped to 1,271,000 acres.

(Engineering and Mining Journal.) The large number of highly trained research in- vestigators that are unemployed indicates that num- erous companies have been pruning expenses for 1932 beyond the point of real economy. Annual reports of those companies that made a profit in 1931 indicate that the result was attributable to the manufacture of new products developed by re- search to meet unfilled needs. Similarly, an in- vestigation of raw-material producers would show that those weathering most successfully the currént economic situation have employed and are employ- ing research workers to expand markets. A specific instance is revealed in a statement in the annual report of the International Nickel Company for 1931: “Notwithstanding the severity of the present world-wide depression, the company 18 been affected less adversely during this period of nickel in all forms during 1931 were largely in excess of similar sales in 1921, showing an increase of 104 per cent. This comparison is significant in that it clearly indicates that the consumption of nickel is increasing more rapidly than that of most other metals, This satisfactory increase in sales is to be attributed not only to the recognized value of nickel but to the fact that, for the past ten years, technical research and development have employed on a progressive scale to demon- strate its worth and to extend its uses." In the light of such information and opinion, research worker may be given credit for at least minimizing the effect of this period of ad- verse business conditions. He will be an important factor in a return to more satisfactory circumstances. His services are probably more valuable than ever they were.

Cabled reports from London of the trial of the sprightly rector of Stiffkey before the Norwich Consistory Court have an interest for American readers wholly outside the peccadillos of the church- man. Every dispatch gives, parenthetically, the pronunciation of the name Stiffkey, which in the King's English appears to be Stewky. ‘The pronunciation of proper names in the tight little isle is a constant source of wonder to people of this country, who finds nothing comparable in Americanese. From long habit Americans are able to say, “Please pass the Woostershire sauce,” with- out thinking that it is spelled Worcestershire. Also the commercial city and famous port of the Massa- chusetts fishing fleet is called “Gloster” instead of Gloucester. These proper names are direct im- portations from England and they have been in the American vocabulary so long that they may be regarded as fixtures. Although we pass glibly over Gloucester and Worcester, we usually fall into pronunciative error when we tackle such names as Cholmondeley, Beau- champ and Majoribanks. Even the English them- selves have been observed to smile when they pro- nounce Cholmondeley, “Chumly”; Beauchamp, “Bee- cham”; and Majoribanks, “Marsh-banks.” After some centuries of use these pronunciations are still national jokes. ‘There appears to be no sound orthoepic reason for pronouncing Featherstonhaugh as if it were spelled Fanshaw, or Birmingham as if it were Brum- magem. The list could be expanded to great lengths, but the only conclusion to be arrived at is that the English have purposely departed from the rules of pronunciation in order to identify Americans who are spending a holiday in the island. There is a chance, howveer, that if the key to their weird pronunciation is cabled often enough, visitors from this country will be taken for natives when they ask to be shown the parish of Stewky.

She had gone to Bridgewater after a quarrel with Gar, but che forgets his interest in Marge Crosby and his lavish epending, in her worry. David, Gar's half-brother, meets her. A MASK STRIPPED OFF David put his arm around her houlder. “Gar's all right, Kit- ty,” he said quickly. ‘He's con- scious this morning., He struck on his head, but the X-ray showed there was no fracture of the skull.

They rode in silence until the car turn- ed into the drive of the hospital grounds. He touched Kitty'’s arm as she hurried ahead There are Ssome you know.” To Kitty it seemed an endless interval of stupid questioning, and answering before she was admit- ted to the room where Gar lay. Why, she was his wife. David left her at the door of the room. She did not know it. She had forgotten his existence. She saw only Gar's dark head against the pillow of the high hospital bed “Gar!"” And then a tall e.ween her and Gar. Frew, “You cannot disturb him now. Mrs. Frew said in a low, cold tone. “Who let you in You must go away.” Kitty stood, balked. For a mo- ment she saw the other woman's face stripped of its mask; hatred, regulations, figure came She faced ir. it. 'She faltered before it, drew back a little uncertainly, frighten- ed. And seeing that, Mrs. Frew smiled. “Kitty.” It was a half-moan. Kitty pushed Mrs. Frew roughly out of the way. She drcpped at the side of the bed, put her cheek against Gar’s hand where it lay on the white sheet. “Gar, darling! here.” “I thought you wouldnt come.” He drew a fretful sigh. His fin- gers moved, caught in her hair, feebly stroked it. “I came as fast as I could, darling.” *“You won't go, sweet? won't leave me mow?” “No, Gar.” She heard a rustling ‘of skirts, whispering; a door closing and gave no heed. “You mustn’t let him talk, Mrs, Frew.” a competent friendly wvoice said over her shoulder and she nodded her head. As if she didn't know that Gar must be kept very quiet. When a doctor came into the room she rose to her feet and moved to the window but she did not take her eyes from Gar's. “Doing very nicely” was the doc- tor's verdict. He looked at Kitty and smiled. “He’ll get along now, that you are here.” Gar, calling in It's Kiltty. I'm You consuming jealousy, triumph was|" in the room. The nurse conceded i to her with a sympathetic look. “We wer2 pretity worried this time yestevday,” she whispered to Kitty. “We didn't know, you see. —You were out of town? He call- ed for you the first minute he knew anything.’ Kitty had gone to the bed once more, knelt there, her hand hold- ing Gar's. The nurse pushed a chair up %o the bedside. “You might as well fortable, Mrs. Frew. You can ring i you need me. That's the bell.” She tiptoed out of the room, leaving Kitty alone with Gar. ./ The room was very quiet ex- cept for the drip of the rain out- side. - Kitty relaxed in her chair. | It ,seemed an eternity since that | mément her father had turned from the telephcne calling her. ‘Winton wants you on the long tance, Kitty.” Sally had been there with her, and her mother.

She had been dreaming of Sally. Why, tomorrow was Sally's wedding day! She must go to Bridgewater, talk to Sally about taking things so seriously— Then, fully aroused, she sprang |out of bed, alarmed. That nurse should have called her! Perhaps |Gar needed her. She rushed out into the corridor and there stopped short, facing Carol. “Gar?” she asked, frightened. rugged her shoulders, he’s all right, I don't She was. moving toward a Gor across from Gar’s. Her 'manner said plainly that her pres- ence here had nothing to do with Gar. She was carrying a long box of flowers in her arms. “I supp you know Marge Crosby's gone?” And with that she opened the door she sought and closed it softly behind her. Paul Somerset—she'd gone in to him, of course. The brief lines she had read in the paper, crushed in her fingers, came back to Kitty. The exultation that had edged Carol’s. voice struck her with sick- ening meaning. Carol expected that she, too, must rejoice at Marge's going! The old fear as- sailed her as she opened Gar's door. The nurse was carefully put- ting a pillow under Gar's head and he was muttering crossly un- der ministrations. But when he saw Kitty his face cleared. “I told him it was a shame to wake you up, Mrs. Frew, you were sleeping so soundly. I peeked in. And he almost took my head off “Can he talk now?” “A little. But you musn't let him get excited or move around. You see they haven't got his shoul- jder in a cast yet. Tomorrow, may- be.

Our cus- tomers for those are highly pleased' and they should be as we have seen nothing to compare to: these values in‘our thirty years in the diamond business. | This price condition is only cam-' porary. The Diamond Syndicate has not reduced prices one cent. Theyl are doing just as they did when, the Russian Debacle threw so many diamonds on the marke". They simply said “Our price is the same” and waited until the distress goods were reabsorbed and then we paid the same. Diamonds at these prices are a better buy than any bon¢ or stock on the market as any firm may go broke but the world will not, and lovers will always buy diamonds. We have a fine white perfect 94 hundreds for $275.00, usually worth about six hundred. It is in an old- fashioned Tiffany mounting such as your mother wore and will need resetting. A fine white perfect 76 hundreds for $150.00 in a real snappy modern mounting is anoth- er opportunity. Also a wonderful forty-two hundreds for seventy dol- lars. We haven't the least doubt we will be glad to pay the purchaser of these a nice little profit on them in a couple of years. If you are interested come in and have a look as there is no obligation to buy. The terms are cash or gilt-edge security as we must either return the stones or the money promptly. THE NUGGET SHOP adv. around Gar, her face was against his. Neither of them heard what the nurse said, or cared. She weni out. “Kiitity, you havent—told me—" “I love you Gar, and more f morrow and more the next day—" “Kitty, I didn’t mean—the oth- er night.” “I know, Gar, I know you didn't. I didn't either. I hate myself for what I said.” “I don't suppose it would make me any worse if you kissed me,| the way—" She put her 1lips to his. Her closel eyes were against his, their breathing was one. ¢ “Gee, Kit, what if it had knock- ed me out?” “But it didn’t, Gar. Just your shoulder and your ankle—" “What if I'd never seen you again? Kit, you've got to believe me, all the time I never cared a hang for anyone but you—" (Copyright, Jane Abboit.) Mrs. Frew tries to regain control of Gar in the next in- stallment, and Carol takes a bold step toward freedom.
