LASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKIAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. SOME FAVORABLE SIGNS. The termination of a gold export movement, which since last September amounted to almost $1,000,000,000, is likely to stand as a great milestone in the history of the Great Depression. That the United States could relinquish this huge store to nations withdrawing in a manner bordering on panic is a splendid testimonial to the essential integrity of national finanees. From now out the influence of Europe should be minor upon American finances. Already, though in a negligible way, gold has begun to trickle back and the mere maintenance of adequate foreign bal- ances on this side of the water it is believed will force additional gains to be supplemented by a possible substantial import movement during the normal fall period of gold imports Meantime, Europe is endeavoring to thresh its problems out at Lausanne. Progress may appear slow, but already has emerged a disposition to re- duce tariffs. Three powers have agreed to reduc- tions, which may bring about a general cut abroad. Lowering of tariffs is an .absolute essential step to general trade revival. The quietest day in some years on the Stock Evchange may prove the prelude to a prolonged period of stagnation, almost a certain sign of the exhaustion of the forces of deflation. Should this be the case there would be legitimate hope of better financial markets subsequently as the pyes- sure of idle funds becomes more insistent and con- fidence slowly returns. WASHINGTON STATE DEMOCRATS OPTIMISTIC. Democrats in the State of Washington are optim- istic over their chances for success in this year's State and National elections. “Evidently,” says the Port Angeles News, “the lean years have passed for the Democrats and, if early announcements are a criterian, the ballot this Fall will see Democrats bat- tling for every State office.” It lists the following candidates: Governor—Clarence D. Martin, Cheney; Lewis B. Schwellenbach, Seattle; W. H. Pemberton, Seattle. Lieutenant-Governor—O. H. Olson, Pasco; W. E. McCroskey, Walla Walla, Thomas E. Skaggs, Everett. Secretary of State—Robert Doubleday, Tacoma; Harry M. Westfall, Seattle. Auditor—A. L. Rodey, Pullman; Esker Fitzwater, Huyett, Asotin. Treasurer—J. G. M. Wilson, Douglas. Attorney General — Fred G. Schaaf, Oroville; Bernard J. Lehrer, Walla Walla; Harold P. Troy, Olympia. Insurance Commissioner — William A. Sullivan, Seattle; George C. Eller, Wenatches; Douglas, Seattle. Superintendent of Public Instruction—Mrs, Monroe, Spokane. “Young” Steve Chadwick has formally made his bow in the race for nomination for United States Senator with a profound declaration of his opposi- tion to the Eighteenth Amendment. This puts four seeking that place on the party ticket, the others —— Waterville; Cliff Yelle, Bellingham; William William V. M. ’b(-me. Dr. Edwin J. Brown, former Mayor of Seattle; IL]Q_\'d L. Black, Everett, and State Senator John C. |Bowen, who has been making a Statewide cam- { paign. ' { | Sttt B 5 A NEW SAUERKRAUT. ! Pt Sauerkraut and “weenies,” or spareribs as the |individual taste may dictate, is a standard dish {known the world over. Its virtues have been sung iby the high and low and if it isn’t as common |with us as corned beef and cabbage it's only be- |cause no Jiggs has come along to immortalize the | dish. | The Government, however, may do for it what |Mr. McManus's creation did for the corned beef | delicacy. Through the Department of Agriculture |1t has announced another kind of sauerkraut than ,the one made from cabbages. Turnip sauerkraut, it declares, is an “appetizing food.” But it fails to (recommend either “weenies” or spareribs. | It has found that a good sauerkraut can be made from medium-sized purple-top turnips. They should |be sweet, firm and juicy in order to allow proper fermentation and flavor. The fleshy part of the |root is ground or shredded and mixed with salt at the rate of four ounces of salt to 10 pounds of turnips. The mixture is then packed in stone | Jars, weighted down and allowed to ferment. | Turnip sauerkraut may be stored at a low tem- perature for sometime, the Department said. It |has a sharp flavor, closely resembling good cabbage ‘,sauerkrau! Most of the turnip flavor is lost when |the kraut ferments. If that is the case, one wonders (why make it out of turnips when cabbage is so ‘cheap and plentiful. Tobacco Condemned. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The General Conference of the great Methodist Episcopal Church has registered official condemna- tion of the use of tobacco in all ‘its forms. It calls upon the youth of the nation “to keep themselves pure by abstaining from the use of habit-forming |narcotics, including cigarettes or the use of tobacco |in any form.” To the millions who use tobacco in one form or another this interdiction will seem to be uncalled for and presumptuous. Here, as with all things else not of themselves harmful or sinful, temperance is the guarding and guiding law. Experience and scientific authority seem to have proved that narcotics and many toxic agents not only are not harmful, but under certain conditions very helpful to the human economy, to say nothingK of “the solace of the weed,” which has been ex- perienced and enjoyed by multiplied millions. It is true that tobacco is to be listed among the milder poisons, but the same thing may be said of tea and coffee. It equally is true that St.| Paul declared, “Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost.” But St. Paul also said a number of other things which good Christians would at present be loath to accept in literal inter-| pretation. It is to be doubted that clerical condemna- tions and prohibitions of the kind here indicated can have a real value in any sense, either physical or spiritual. We have known some rather eminent bishops. good Christians—who enjoyed a soothing ‘“chaw a quiet smoke, or both, and it is difficult to be- lieve that St. Peter would turn them back from the gates of Paradise because of their “sinning” in| this respect. In One Bundle. (New York Times.) According to our State Department, the American Government is willing to join in an international conference on finance and trade provided repara- tions and war debts are kept out of the discussion. But according to many of our leading bankers, in- dustrialists and economists, the thing cannot be done. Their replies to questions on this subject as published yesterday amount to asking what use there is in debating commerce between nations and the foreign exchanges if you are going to rule out the one factor that has most disturbed both. Mean- while, both at Lausanne and Geneva, the delegates are proceeding on the belief that all these things are bound together, and cannot be torn apart. Even one of the representatives of the United States at the Disarmament Conference has indicated a will- ingness to lower, or even cancel, our claims as a creditor country, if the others are willing to lower or cancel a good part of their armaents. At Lau- sanne, also, the spirit of compromise appears to be affecting all minas. There they are venturing, in a way that would affright the Washington Ad- ministration, to talk about marking down high tariffs as a means of restoring stability and con- fidence. For a long time it has been evident that the United States has excellent bargaining material in hand. Europe cou'd do many things which would be of advantage to us. We have it in our power to do some things for Europe which she eagerly desires. Why not strive to bring this supply and these demands together? For the United States it come down to a question of trading money for gains more important than a little cash in the till. With this conception «of the common opportunity now getting stronger in Europe, it is only a matter of time when it will make greater headway in this country.

C., has other ideas about his future, and is proceeding to put them into effect. Just when everything had |been arranged for him to spend blended his days behind bars as exhibit number one to prove grizzlies do inhabit the mainland, he has de- parted for his native wilds, leaving behind him only a chain with a broken clasp. The cub, about six weeks or two months old, was in the possession of Capt. R. B. Lescher of the |Salvation Army. Early Thursday morning he made a successful break for freedom and hasn't been |seen since. He is said to have been a fine specimen of the Lynn Canal grizz- ly. Despite his immaturity, he wasn't inclined to be sociable, and refused to be petted, defending himself vigorously with claws and teeth. From the time he was placed on a chain he made valiant efforts to free himself and even- tually succeeded. —————— Annoying light reflections are reduced by keeping the windows clean, plied in famous SYNOPSIS: Operating by airplane, a gang of kidnapers carry off four millionaires, an important gangster and a mu- sical comedy star, Miss Nancy Wentworth. Ashwood, the gang leader, keeps the prisoners on a tropical island, while he de- mands instaliments of money from their friends and rela- tives. An airplane is heard over the island one day, and machine guns are made ready for an attack. The hydro- plane is ready to take off if Ashwood signals. Meanwhile, a detective, who is searching for the kidnapers, Stevens, has Jjoined forces with Jerry Cal- hcun, whe was injured in a fight with the kidnapers when Nancy was captured. Jerry and . Stevens and Emory Battles, a friend of Jerry, in an airplane which Jerry pilots, watch the kidnapers when they take away the ransom money in a hydro- plane. They follow the hydro- plane, keeping out of sight. They plan to locate where the prisoners are hidden. CHAPTER 15. THE COIN IS MATCHED The tiny black dot in the air gradually assumed form. A single, silvery wing developed atop a cylindrical fuselage. watched it, her heart beating wild- ly. Could it be that those flyers were searching for her and the other victims of the kidnapers? From her bedroom window Nan- cy watched the monoplane buz- zing onward toward the south. For a few breathless seconds she was sure the flyers had seen the house on the island, but her heart sank as it droned steadily on. Without turning a hair's breadth from its course, it passed out of her range of vision. In a few moments the snarl of its motors had dwindled into nothing. “There’'s your pecan grove, old timer, if our luck holds out!” shouted Emory Battles trimphant- ly, as Jerry pointed down at the tiny spot of land below. “There's a house big enough to hold a regi- ment, and a hangar, too. 'Whoops, sisters, whoops!” “Ill say that’s some navigating” grinned Jerry, watching the is- land slide beneath the gleaming wing. “Now we'll have to keep go- ing until they’ll think we heven't seen them. Then I'll glide down and come back just over the top of the water so they can't see us Watch for an island down there that would make a good landing place.” “Make it far enough away so's they can't hear the motor,” sug- gested Stevens, making a careful notation on his large scale map. “I don’t aim to have them wait- ing for us with a couple of dozen machine guns.” His jaws resumed their placid, rythmetic motion as he turned h attention to the machine gun, which he wiped as carefully as though it had received no care for weeks. Ahead, astern and to the left, the sea was dotted by thousands of tiny islands, hard-edged spots of dark green against the sap- phire blue of the water. To the right there was nothing but the endless expanse of the Gulf of Mexico, extending to the very edge of the horizon. house and hangar, they had just passed there was no sign of a hu- man being in all the tremendous panorama beneath them. The si- lent islands were, for the mosl part, simply clumps of dense man- groves which seemed to have growngrown out of the water with no earth to give them anchorage and sustenance. Far over to the eastward the islands became more numerous until there was more land than water. Here, as the is- lands blended into one another, began the everglades, which e tended straight across the soutl ern Florida Peninsula to the A lantic ocean. As Jerry cut the throttle and Gamblers Throw by Fustace L. Adamas. Naney | Except for the!

He climbed stiffly out of the cabin door. “Pardon me if I seem to crow,” offered Emory, “but you birds will |have to admit that this was a pret piece of navigating.

If they haven’t them already built. For a massed attack, fifty men would be none too many. “We'd hardly get a nickle of the reward.” “Tell you what Tl do, Emory suggested Jerry, brightening. “T’ll match you to see which of us goes alone to the island.” “Listen, fellers,” interrupted Ste- vens. “Seems to me you are for- getting there are three of us. We will match, and the odd man goes. Gambler’s throw, winner take all’ They matched. Emory and Ste- vens turned up heads. Jerry tri- umphantly exhibited a tail, glee- fully pocketing the coin and strode toward the fuselage where the rubber boat was stowed. While his comrade glowered, Stevens shook his head sadly. Years ago he remembered he had been all get-up-and-go like these boys. Well, time would temper them un- less they went and got themselves killed first. (Copyright, Dial Press.)
