SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER < TP:AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. HOOVER AGAINST FIVE-DAY WEEK. President Hoover declares that he is against the proposed five-day week. He thinks the situation might demand a shorter day but not a shorter | week. While there are more and more people coming to believe that the five-day week is certain to come, it must be admitted by the most casual thinker that there are two sides to the question. It is conceded that the general use of labor-sav- ing machinery and mass production methods have made it so that it does not require so many work- ers to produce the necessities of civilization as formerly was the case. That suggests shorter hours of labor. However, it must also be admitted that to introduce the five-day week on the farm and in ~many lines of work where the number of employees is not large would be a very difficult thing. There is also the danger that a situation would rise where the public need would demand expansion of produc- tion. That would not be easy if the five-day week were generally established. Perhaps, after all, it would be better to make more work. There are roads and bridges and canals and river and harbor improvement and other public | works that might be utilized to take up the labor | slack and add to the joy of life. In case of demand | for it, then those employed in public improve- | ments might enter the field of production. The shorter day, generally speaking, has greater appeal than the shorter week. In the larger indus- tries, of course, where .it would be practicable to. employ more shifts so that there could be rotation in employment, the five-day week would probably | be workable. NATIONAL CHAMBER SEEKS FURTHER GOVERNMENT CUTS. pyrr—— i The United States Chamber of Commerce has| called for a further reduction of $800,000,000 in the | costs of the Federal Government. Citing the sav- | ing of a like amount during the current fiscal year, President Harriman of the National Chamber is| asking that Congress next winter lop off equally as | much from next year's appropriations. Unlike many , who have urged reduced governmental expenditures, | he suggests the avenues for saving. He would return various Federal activities to the 1925 basis, result- ing in a saving of $354,000,000. Public works could be cut $200,000,000. Curtailment of Veterans' Bureau funds without hurt to veterans suffering from in- juries or disease resulting from their war service would account for another $100,000,000. And by eliminating “improper competition with private en- terprises,” he estimates $150,000,000 could be saved. It will be easier to keep down appropriations next winter than it was last spring. The term of Congress that adjourned in July went home to face | Washington. |sesed in years has evoked so much comment in the member of the lower House and more than one- third of the Senate was at stake. Despite a sincree desire in both branches for economy, political ex- pediency figured largely in appropriations for the| current fiscal year. Next year will be an off- political year and such considerations will be less urgent. Consequently saving will be effected with |fewer difficulties than was possible this year. | While gold has begun to flow into the United (States this country has nearly a billion less than it had a year ago. Both the Republican and Democratic parties pro- !pose to fight for the Maine State election. How- ever, Maine is one of the four or five States the Democrats concede to Hoover. The Democratic Par- ty in Maine is not organized as it was a few years ago. The old Democratic warriors in that State are becoming too old to fight. The Johnsons, Mc- Gillicuddys, Gardners, McIntyres, etc., has retired and TPattangall is on the State. Supreme Court bench. Dore’s Duty to Seattle. (Seattle Times.) The decision of Mayor John F. Dore not to run for the Govenorship will disappoint the mischief- makers in the City Council and all others who have fought his efforts to bring down taxes. It will be acclaimed by Seattle taxpayers, who have observed and warmly approved his battle to re- duce the cost of government and to foster a more efficient administration of municipal affairs. Seattle people can think of a good many reasons why Mayor Dore shouldn’t quit their service to run for Governor; but they are not so foolish as ito entertain the idea advanced by a local news- paper that he is forbidden to do so by law. The law says that no person seeking the primary nomi- nation of one party can appear as another party’s candidate in the ensuing general election. That's all. No law presumes to make a man stick to any one party year after year. The direct primary law encourages him not to. It was common gossip in political circles that Mr. Dore was told that his candidacy for the Gov- ernorship was a “natural” His rough-and-ready handling of a City Council less responsive than any of its predecessors to the demands of the elec- torate has aroused widespread interest throughout No chief executive Seattle has pos- State press and practically all of it has been commendatory. Naturally, this led to speculation as to whether he would seek a broader field dur- ing the State campaign. Mr. Dore takes the attitude that he has a task to perform in Seattle, which makes it imperative that he should stick to his present post. He wants to reduce Seattle’s taxes still more; in so doing he will contribute most to the restoration of posperity here and also will be furnishing all other cities throughout the State an object lesson in economical municipal administration. This is a man’s size job, and those who voted for him a few months ago will be happy that he has elected to go througn with the task he has carried so far toward suc- cessful completion. Possibilities. (Anchorage Times.) The sale of the Thane properties at Juneau, mention of ‘which is made in Associated Press dis- patches received by The Times today, may mean a great deal for Southeast Alaska and especially Ju- neau. For example, if the bondholders can induce new capital to take over and operale them on a large scale, much as the Alaska Junaeu Gold Min- ing Company is doing with its properties, it will mean another big enterprise for the Territory, giving all-year employment to many workers and con- tributing to the support of other Territorial enter- prises. With gold properties now in much demand throughout the world, it shuold not be a difficult matter to interest capital in the Thane project, and the bondholders should have the hearty cooperation of Juneau and all of Alaska in whatever effort may be made to restore the properties to a production basis. It looks like & big opportunity for Juneau and for Alaska. King Alfonso will make no mistake if he closes another long lease on his London and Paris resi- dences—(Seattle Times.)

SYNOPSIS: Sondra Kentand Jchn Anderson are at the sea- shore, where she is staying to regain her health. They are in love, but John maintains a cool attitude, in loyalty to Sondra’s marriage to Mark Merriman. Sondra has regret- ted her sudden, secret mar- rige, occurring before Mark set off for the Congo. CHAPTER 28. “HE’'S DROWNING” Anderson started to his feet. “Help: <. " Help. ... Sondra screamed. He's drawn- . John—' But he had gone already—was dashing down to the water's edge, tearing off his coat as he went, and she saw him splashing through the water, wad- ing until he was out of his depth, and then swimming strongly. To Sondra’s agonized eyes it was a nightmare of unreality—the clear smooth sea, hardly broken by a ripple, the radiant light of the setting sun, and that lonely strug- gling figure, so far beyond reach, it seemed. She looked back desperately for help, but the long sun-bathed sands were deserted, and behind her the beach, stretched forbid- ding and empty. Hardly knowing what she did, she waded into the sea, and as if sensing her intention Anderson turned his head and shouted for her to go back. There was a heavy ground swell in spite of the un- broken surface and Sondra’s skirt to keep her feet as the water rusked up the flat golden sand, and swirled giddily back again. The dazzling sunlight half blind- ed her as she struggled forward, “Help! Helpl” the golden glory of the evening made the sudden tragic happening more horrible than it would have been in worse weather; there was something appalling in the know- ledge that perhaps a life was be- ing lost as needlessly when the surrounding world was so beauti- ful. Sondra felt that she would go mad with a sense of her own impatience; subconsciously she coui¢ hear an agonized voice cry- ing out Anderson's name “John. . . John. ...” and realizing that it was her own. Then as suddenly as the tragedy had come about it ended—and An- derson was back on the sands be- side her with the half drowned terrified boy choking and splut- tering at his feet. Anderson gave once glance at Sondra‘s agonized dace. “It's all right,” he said briefly. “The boy could have got ‘back quite easily if he hadn't lost his nerve—' he stooped over the lad at his feet. “All right now, son- ny?” Werk or resounding and survey- .ing Wrangell Narrows is well un- 'der way, glving employment to several Petersburg residents. was scrambling th them. Edward Lindberg and Michael Sakula, of the West Coast Canning Company, have started construc- tion work on their new cannery at Poliy Creek fh the Snug Har- bor district of Cook Inlet.

Work of razing the old Sanitary Cannery building at Wrangell is being directed by O. P. Nergaard. The structure was ruined by fire several years ago and recently has been so near a state of col- lapse that it was a menace to neighboring property. Miss Cunningham, 20 years old, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Sam- Cunningham of Wrangell, has taken over the Seaside Cafe there and is conducting it under the name of beryl's Cafe.

She sat down in a low chair and leaned her head back against the cushions. “If John had been drowned. .. she could not drive the thought from her mind. She felt that she rould ever bear to look at the sea again. She did not move until she heard him coming down the stairs, then with an effort she opened her eyes and sat up.
