THE JUNEAU FIRE DEPARTMENT. It was appropriate that the Juneau Chamber of Commerce should give its luncheon date in Fire Prevention Week to the Juneau Fire Department. The Juneau Fire Department is one of the very | best fire prevention organizations of its size in the) country. It was a deserved tribute that President| Allen Shattuck of the Chamber paid the Depart- ment when he said: & It is the major organization of the com- munity when it is measured by the value of the service it renders in adding to the safety of life and property. He gave the Juneau Fire Department credit for[, a very low fire insurance rate in this City, and’ continued: It is one of the most active organizations in civic affairs, fostering and providing amusement and recreation grounds. It has performed many services far without the ordinary province of a fire department, such as the rescue and relief of persons outside of the town's corporate limits. Its efficiency record is all that is re- quired to prove its worth to the city. Its ability to get to the scene of fires has, on occasion, when the water supply was low, prevented serious conflagrations. Juneau is the one town on the Pacific \ Coast, similarly located, that can truthfully say it has never had a conflagration. Not more than one building has ever been burned in any single: fite. All true. Juneau’s debt to her volunteer Fire Department is one that will never be liquidated, | because liquidation would be impossible. The pro- found thanks and grattitude of every property owner, every worker, every resident is due to this wonderful organization. SOME NEW YORK CONVENTION DETAILS. It is said that one of the strong forces which compelled Tammany Leader John F. Curry to sur- render in the battle in the State Convention re- cently was the fact that Tammany's secret poll disclosed that Gov. Roosevelt will carry New York City by not less than 500,000 majority and up- State New York by at least 200,000, insuring him a majority of approximately three-quarters of s‘ million in the State. So sure’ was Gov. Roosevelt of his position with New York voters that he ac- cepted a place on the Dutchess County delegation at | the State Convention and was prepared to denounce Tammany and its leader from the floor of the con- vention in case the fight was carried to the floor. Former Gov. Smith was to'lead the fight by de-| nouncing Curry and his leadership in his speech nominating Lieut.-Gov. Lehman, and Gov. Roosevelt was to second the Smith nomination and join with him in denunciation of Tammany, and Curry. Brook- lyn Leader McCooey informed Curry that the Brook- lyn delegation would join Roosevelt and Smith and support Lehman. That brought about the complete surrender of Curry, who first tried to get a promise that Smith would not oppose Walker for Mayor as a price for surrendering. Smith not only refused to promise, but declared that he would run for the Mayorality himself if Curry persisted in his| effort to force the nomination of Walker. That terminated the attempts to negotiate.

AUTOMOBILE MILLIONAIRE SWITCHES | TO ROOSEVELT. | William C. Durant, American automobile manu- facturer, declaring that President Hoover's Admin- {istration “has no parallel for inefficiency,” recently cabled from Paris that he would support the Demo- |eratic nominee. The tel:gram was sent to the | Democratic National Committee. It concluded: I voted and worked for the election of Herbert Hoover in 1928.4 I shall not vote for Hoover next November, nor will hundreds of thousands of Republicans who, like myself, are interested in his retirement to private life. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a man of integrity and ability, will, in my opinion, be elected by an overwhelming majority. The Cincinnati Enquirer’s poll of Ohio a week ago showed Roosevelt running more than two to one over Hoover, Senator Bulkley running five to three over his Republican opponent and Gov. White running four to three over his Republican opposi- tion. The Brazilian—rebels or patriots—are ready to quit fighting, but they want terms. Well, most {anything is better than fighting. Smith As Editor. (New York World-Telegram.) In the first issue of the New Outlook, Alfred E. Smith makes what is regarded as his major pro- nouncement regarding the National campaign. He does not sound exactly like the Al Smith we used to know on the hustings, but possibly he iis merely getting into fighting shape. He is his old self in his mirror-clear, vigorous jassault upon the Republican international policy; “No man in a friendly spirit sends the sheriff after his neighbor”; upon the tariff; upon Prohibihion— “We have reached a new stage in the Prohibition battle. . . . Dry strategy will not agree on any- thing specific. If the fight keeps on long enough and the wets gain in representation there will be a serious drive for cutting out all enforce- ment moneys in the budget. . . . ” He pulverizes President Hoover's relief program, showing that next to none of the huge funds appro- priated for public and other work has actually been put to work:—“Nineteen of the (borax) mules are lying on the ground asleep and the twentieth is giving a half-hearted pull. What can the driver be thinking about?” As an eye-opener to his election comment, Mr. Smith says:—“We should stop talking about the Forgotton Man and about class distinction.” He then “sympathizes” with the view that “the country Adding:—“I believe the best interests of the country will be served by the suc- cess of the Democratic Party and the election of its ‘ticket.’” He does not mention Messrs. Roose- velt and Garner. But he lambastes the Republican Administration in proper style. Observing that to “all intents and purposes the campaign may be said to be over— the real question is what will the Democratic Party do with its victory.” He then comes to the second hiatus in the old Smith method of directness when he alludes to, but does not name, certain ‘“ele- ‘ments” which the party must purge itself of if it is to serve the Nation in this crisis. ‘We can only assume that Mr. Smith will be nam- ing these individuals. There would otherwise be an excess of reasonableness in the editorial dictum he announces of “free, full and open discussion, without partisanship, in a spirit of tolerance to opposite views, for the purpose of honest and con- structive discussion and debate.” It is a refreshing thing to have Alfred E. Smith to look forward to monthly. His three of four editorial pagés should have a great interest and a great influence as the next few years unroll their gigantic problems. “Markets Face Pre-Election Business Lull.” Like {the man who hadn't worked for a year and a half and took the first Tuesday off.—(Cincinnati En- quirer.)

Jervis and his young wife, Nan are at luncheon with the Tetterleys, where Nan:' and Ferdinand Francis prove to their own conclusions_that Ko~ * samund’s friend, Robert Leon- ard, weakened the bridge that almost plunged Nan and Jer- vis to their deaths two days before. CHAPTER 29. “ARE YOU HURT?” Nan got up to say good-bye at & quarter to three. Her heart was like a hot burning coal. She had had to sit by Robert Leonard to take her coffee from his hand, and to listen while he talked. Her burning anger 3t a bright color in her cheeks and she made her eyes brilllant. She felt as if any- think she touched would be liable to scorch or go up in a little puff of smoke. It was a dreadful feel- ing, of course, but it made her very sure of herself. When she got up to go, Leon- ard looked at his watch and ex- claimed. “T'd no idea it was so late! I ought to be attending to my in- cubators at this very moment. Give me a lift as far as my gate, will you, Jervis? My car’s dead till T can get someone out from Croyston.” Tmpossible to refuse, of course. Nan wondered whether Jervis would have liked to refuse. He sald: “All right,” with an air of complete indifference. ‘At any rate she wouldn't have to sit next to the man. F.F. would have that pleasure. F. F. wouldn't mind, of course. It was only she who felt like an explod- ing bomb when Robert Leonard was anywhere about. She got in beside Jervis, and heard the other two settling themselves behind her. F. F. full of amiable chatter. ‘Did you have a car in South| America? I ‘forget where you were. Were you ever in Mexico? Shock- ing roads, but not so bad as San Pedro. The Madalena roads are pretty hard to beat. I had an old flivver there. She was a won- der. She jumped the holes like a rabbit.” They moved off, slid down the drive and coasted as far as Mr. Leonard’s gate. He got out and made his farewells. “You must come and see my place some day, Mrs. Jervis. Thanks for the lift, Jervis. Good-bye, Mr. Francis.” “Au revoire” said Ferdinand. | The afternoon was very hot.| There was nothing surprising in the fact that Robert Leonard found it necessary to pass a handkerchief across his forehead. Ferdinand, looking back, admitted this, but could mnot understand why Leon- ard should have quite so shaky a hand. Jervis wasn't thinking abqut Robert Leonard. He looked once at Nan, and was aware of dis- tinct relief. She had not golden hair, seablue eyes, regular features, o’ a statuesque figure. He was feeling a strong distate for all these things.

The left front wheel came off and {went bounding down the hill, its scarlet and black catching the |sun. The front axle came down |with a heavy bump on the Jeft. The car swung around, slid, tilt- and fell over with a crash. t Leonard ‘heard the'‘sound as he walked up the path of it from the gate to his house. He stood still. Then he walked on again. two were taken entirely by sur- |of should be so much rougher going fdown than it had been coming up. Then he saw the black and scarlet wheel go , bowling down the road like a child's hoop gone crazy. And then the car turned over and threw him clear. Nan did not see the wheel or notice the polting. She was look- ing over the steep edge of the clifif. She had never seen anything so blue in all her life. The tide was high and the water came up to the foot of the cliff. The first thing she knew of the accident was a violent jolt and then the side of the car dropping away from her on her left. She gave a little cry and put out both her hands. Something struck her right shoulder. Then the: car turned right over with a sound of smashing glass, and she was on her hands and knees on the rough grass with the leather seat pres- sing down upon her back. Ferdinand picked himself up out of the dust of the road. He felt rather dazed. He wasn't sure whether he had been thrown clear or whether he had jumped, but he was in the middle of the road with the knees of his trousers torn and the car across the road, very nearly upside down, her bumper hitched up on the stone parapet. He couldn't see Jervis, and he couldn’t see Nan. He felt grateful for the parapet, because if it had not been there, the car wouldn't ‘have been their either, but at the bottom of the cliff like a smashed He came out of the haze as Nan crawled out from under the front seat. She pulled herself up by the wall, and said: “Where's Jervis?” Ferdinand ran round Yo the oth- er side of the var. She said: “Where's Jervis?” again, e couldn't run, because her legd didn't feel as if they belong- ed to her. She crawled round the car, holding on to dt. It looked so odd upside down. The sides were smooth; her fingers slipped on: the paint. She got around to the other side and saw Ferdinand dragging Jervis oclear. Jervis did not move or help him- self at all. Then she saw his face, she forgot all about her legs not belonging to her, and she let go of the car and ran to him. There was a most dreadful mo- ment. Was he dead? Evrything stood still, her thoughts wouldn't move. She could not draw her breath, and a dizzi- Nen's firm round chin, her brown hair, her steady grey eyes, and the mather childish contour of her face were as complete a contrast as could be found to the, charms of his cousin Rosamund. His gaze dwelt upon his wife with approval.
