ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ASKAN TRADE. TACOMA BIDS FOR AL The formation of an Alaska Committee by the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce is an open and frank bid for more Alaskan trade for that city's merchants. For many years, the lion’s share of that business has gone to Seattle, and the Seattle Chiam- ber of Commerce has a standing Alaska Committee of many years standing. It has kept closely in contact with Territorial business affairs, has always stood ready and willing to assist the local business organizations in matters of interest to them and of importance to the Territory. Its services in these matters have been no small factor in retaining Alaska trade that might have been diverted to Tacoma or Portland or some other coast city under different circumstances. But not all of the Territory’s commerce has gone to Seattle. Tacoma has had a share, smaller, it is true, than might be proportionate under all exist- ing circumstances. If the new Alaska Committee just organized by its Chamber of Commerce is a live and wide awake organization, it is certain to develop new trade relations and augment measur- ably the business now done in Alaska by Tacoma business firms. Alaskans are a friendly people. Much of their business is founded on friendship. And to cultivate it is a sure way to share in their trade. Tacoma’s bid, too, may not be a bad thing for Alaska. A little competition is the best stimulant known to -business and Tacoma's emtry into the field actively may bring benefits to local business interests even in their dealings with their Seattle friends. NIGHT WINDS FORECAST BY LIGHTED BALLOONS. Small, free balloons carrying little paper lanterns or tiny electric lights up through the air make possible nighttime forecasts of the velocity and direction of the wind at different atmospheric levels. The electric lights, which are.heavier and more expensive than the candle-lighted lanterns, are used only when there is danger that forest fires might be started by the lanterns, which sometimes burst into flames. Meteorologists attached to the airways weather service maintained by the Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Department of Commerce can follow the gleam of the illuminated pilot balloons after dark as easily as they can watch the flight of unlighted balloons by day. Each pilot balloon, about 30 inches in diameter, is filled with just enough hydrogen to insure its ascen- sion at a uniform rate of 600 feet a second. The ascent is carefully timed and watched through a theodolite, an instrument something like a sur- veyor’s transit, on which angular readings of the balloon’s position are made at l-minute intervals. From the readings thus obtained meteorologists compute the balloon’s direction and speed of travel for each minute of flight. This reveals the velocity and direction of air currents through which the balloon rises. Continuing by night the pilot balloon runs, which for some time have been made at scheduled intervals throughout the day, gives nocturnal fliers the guide they need for steering clear of air levels where dangerous head winds prevail and keeping in the levels of favorable following winds. CO-OPERATION IS ESSENTIAL. Not higher tariff walls, nor inflated currency is the need in this country, in the opinion of the National City Bank of New York which in a recent survey of existing economic conditions laid stress upon the fact that more than anything else just now is the need for co-operation and concession in dealing with the causes of trade disorder and cur- rency confusion. Boosting tariffs would mnot force foreign nations to return to the gold standard; they would result in greater curtailment of exports to foreigners who, if unable to pay in kind, certainly could not pay in their depreciated money. The bank finds tle United States affected by | disordered trade and financial systems as much as any gther country, and that the distress at home makes it imperative to seek relief from it. Con- tinuing its discussion, the bank said: ‘What policies are open to the United States, and what hope of relief do they afford? Some believe that we can ignore the rest of the world, allow our exports to dwindle continuously while shutting out im- ports by tariff walls, give up the expectation of receiving payment on the debts due to us, and in short isolate ourselves into a self- contained economic system of our town. But we cannot believe that those who propose this have any conception of the dmurh::: in agriculture the industries that wi s by“:: attempt to live within . or of -the long and costly read- preciation of our own, but they can have no conception of the futility of such action, or of the disaster that would result if all the remaining elements of order and stability in the situation were abandoned. We give a discussion of the money question subse- quently in this letter. A Against these impracticable proposals, of- fering no hope of anything but continued depression, may be set the advantages of a program of cooperation and mutual conces- sion in dealing with the causes of the trade disorder and currency confusion; and of measures that would rouse confidence rather than alarm in capital and put the idle cur- rency and credit in the country to work. The items in such a program undoubtedly would include an adjustment of the inter- governmental debts to assure that the ex- changes may be free as long as necessary from the pressure of these great one-way payments; reduction of government expendi- ture and taxation; balancing the budget of the Federal and local governments; and ad- justments of wages and prices in places where an adequate adjustment heretofore has been hampered or blocked. We are aware that such a program lacks the appeal to an impatient and distressed people which accompanies the extraction of a white rabbit from a silk hat, and that the world would greatly prefer to have the depression overcome by the white rabbit method. But there is no practicable way of reviving the exchange of goods and serv- ices which constitutes business except by restoring terms upon which they will ex- change, and by removing the obstacles to their exchange. Contrary to a common belief, such a road out of the depression need not prove to be a long one, for un- doubtedly adjustment of the debts and bal- ancing the Federal budget alone would vigor- ously stimulate the markets; and upon the foundation of confidence thus created the cost reductions and other factors of im- provement to which business has applied its efforts during the depression would have an effect now denied them, under the present conditions of disorder and uncertainty. One thing can be said for Japan's peace parleys: they are, at least, productive of concrete results. Rumblings of war between South American coun- tries may be an indication that they are again aproaching a state of normalcy. Germany Ventures. {Iiew York Times.) which the news from Berlin must cause to all friends of Germany. At the head of the Govern- ment of the German Republic has been placed a man who has openly scorned it and vowed that he would destroy it as soon as he could set up the personal dictatorship which was his boasted aim. That he has not attained. A majority of the Cabinet which he, as Chancellor, has been forced to accept would be strongly opposed to him if he sought to translate the wild and whirling words of his campaign speeches into political action. On the outside stand the powerful organizations of German labor, ready to resist, by a general strike if need be, any open movement to set up a Fascist Dictator in Germany. It is announced that the national finances will be kept in strong and conservative hands. Germany's foreign policy will remain un- changed. Best assurance of all is the fact that President Hindenburg will retain supreme com- mand, prepared to unmake Hitler as quickly as he has made him, in case the safety and honor of the Reich require it. There is thus no warrant for immediate alarm. It may be that we shall see the “tamed Hitler” of whom some Germans are hopefully speaking. Always we may look for some such transformation when a radical or demagogue fights his way into responsible office. As James Russell Lowell said years ago about the “beggar on horseback,” when once he is on horseback he ceases to be a beggar. Yet it cannot be concealed that Germany has entered upon a perilous political adventure. In addition to a disturbing effect at home, it may cause grave appre- hensions abroad. Public men in Great Britain and France will follow every phase of the Hitler experi- ment with the deepest concern. All will depend upon the ability or disposition of Chancellor Hitler to rise to his new opportunity. Much of his old electoral thunder has either been stolen from him or has died down into a neg- ligible rumble. The more violent parts of his al- leged program he has himself in recent months been softening down or abandoning. He now has a chance to show the world whether he is anything more than a flighty agitator who has almost un- accountably captivated the middle classes and the flaming youth of Germany. Judgment should be suspended until it is more clearly known what course he will elect to pursue. But anxiety will not be relaxed nor vigilance abated so long as it is uncertain whether the new Chancellor of Germany is going to urge and seek to compel the German people to take a leap into the dark. The step al- ready taken is undeniably critical, and every sub- sequent one will be closely watched in the hope that the dominant German instinct for order, and the determination which Germans have repeatedly shown to stand by and defend and preserve their republic, may again triumph over every danger sud- denly rising in their path. A Step Nearer. (New York Herald Tribune) . The valiant and discouragingly long-drawn cam- paign that Mrs. Margaret Sanger and her associates have been waging for the dissemination of knowledge of birth control now seems a little nearer victory than ever before, and the battle for Federal recogni- tion is a step further toward its goal. Mrs. Sanger's bill—a very moderate one—has been reported out by the sub-committee of the Senate's Judiciary Com- mittee. This marks a new furthest north for the cause, and makes one feel that perhaps the end is in sight, although the two membesr of the sub- committee disagree and several difficult legislative hurdles still lie ahead. Mrs. Sanger knows that the last yards between her and the goal line are the hardest, and she characteristically calls upon her patience, her faith and her inexhaustible courage for a final effort. We wish her bill success, not only because it is mere common sense that hospitals and physicians should be able to receive scientific information and supplies through the mails, not only because it is high time that the whole subject was legally sep- arated from obscenity, not only because elementary justice demands that human beings have the right to decide how many of their kind they shall bring into a disordered world, but’ because of the pleasure be .see «Mrs...Sanger receive the only she asks. It would be useless to try to disguise the qualms | SYNOPSIS: Mark Lodely, cruel, bitter but gifted as an artist, sends a curt telegram to his fiance, Barbara Quen- tin, demanding that she come te him. The telegram is in- tended to humiliate Farrell Armitage, the millionaire who is financing Mark’s London ca- reer. Farrell hopes that when he has made the arrogant ar- tist succecsful, Barbara will no lenger pity him, and will jilt Mark for Mark’s benefactor. Barbara ftelegraphs Mark’s mother, who replies that Mark does not need her. CHAPTER 385. MARK’'S ULTIMATUM Barbara told herself that she would write to Mark and explain that she suspected only a mood in ‘him. Then, if it were more than a mood, he could send his leail again. She made her way to her own room and lit her lamp. There was an old Venetian mirror here which she had delicately re-gilded. She lit the candles that flanked it and looked at her reflection. Candle-light was certainly flat- tering. It made her hair the pale, delicate gold of the gilding and [under each wave it placed a shad- ow.

Mil- ler, Thomas Knudson and Robert D. Grant were among the passen- gers leaving Seattle on the steamer | Jefferson. T. E. Latimer, principal in the Juneau schools from Sept. 6, 1910, and C. S. Blake who was assistant principal, were suing the city of Junezu for alleged back pay due them. Judge Overfield was sit- ting in equity on -the case. Hel- Cobb attorney for the defense. Charles Goldstein and Harry J. Fisher were called as witnesses. Citizens and editorials urged that the First Legislature to convene in Juneau in a few weeks pass a bill providing for the care and main- tenance of the ill, the aged and decrepit residents of the Territory. wharfinger to take a position with the Alaska-Gastineau Mining Com- pany. He was succeeded by Rob- ert Cragg. Pressure was being brought to bear upon the Elks to offer use of the lodge room and auditorium {as a meeting place for the first Legislature. The situation was one by the legislative body itself as no one had authority to contract for a meeting place except the mem- |bers of the Legislature. The Elks Hall was thought to be the only suitable place in town. The Juneau Midgets, a basket- ball team composed of Jameson, Cole,, McKanna, Ericson, Hurlbut and Museth went to Douglas to try their skill against the Douglas quint. Cash Cole, captain of the aggregation predicted unqualified success. Dr. Juan B. Ruffo, Italian doc- tor, who had recently arrived in Juneau, decided to cast his lot with the people of the Capital City. He said he was very favor- ably impressed with the town and that the people of the city, es- pecially the doctors had been very kind to him. B. M. Behrends, H. L. Faulkner, Lockie MacKinnon and son were passengers for Juneau on the Mar- iposa leaving Seattle. gaze lingered upon her. Not Mark —not Mark—. She blew out the candles and scurried downstairs. The next few days left her with- out word or sign from either of the Lodelys. Their silence stretch- ed her nerves and she threw her- self into her work to forget the whole affair. Then gradually, she lost the sense of being a naughty disobedient child and began to paper the Kit- chen. She was on the top of a step-ladder, her shears thrust into the pocket of her smock, her thoughts straying towards tea and hot buttered toast, when the tele- graph boy came up the path again. She called him in and read the message, seated on the top of the ladder. Mark made himself per- fectly clear. “Come to me here or consider our engagement at an end.” v “No answer,” she said. She had to choose between her self-respect and her marriage to Mark. There was no mistake about it—Mark was not ill or in trouble, he was just determined that she should step out of the stream of her own life and come to him when he beckoned her. She thought, sitting there in the gathering dusk, tat she had no choice but to go; and she thought that this love she had for him was very close to fear and very close to hate. But she made no preparation to g0. She sat there, thinking and wishing she could have finished the kitchen. Half an hour elapsed and then another telegraph boy lumbered up to the little house. She “Please, Barbara.” There no more. Oh, but it was enough! She dis- ad: was She read the message seated on the ladder. |almost immediately he turned it on again, ~“You've had a wire from Mark, have you? T suppose he's not so well again. Natural he should send for you—quite natural. Leila tells me he’s making a splash up there, all the same. Wonderful, }‘1' think, considering everything Yes, Leila stayed a night with you last week, I hear?” “Most kind of you to put your- self out. My girl's spoiled, I fear, and it's a bit late to do anything about it. Cool—and hard.” Barbara was barely listening. A part of her mind was recording that “Sugar,” though very nearly obsequious in manner, was far from easy in her company; and another part was preoccupied with times and distances. This other part took complete command as a long, shrill whistle tore across the lights of the town. “There’s my train!” At the same moment the chauf- feur slowed, pushed aside the glass panel and spoke over his shoulder. “No use, sir. We can't make it now.” Barbara, disappointed, prepared to alight. 5 + “One moment, Miss Barbara! It occurs to me—but have you an alternative plan?” “I had better get to Texeter. T think. There’s a chance of catch- ing a very good train that leaves there about nine.” “One moment! It cccurs to me to send you to Taunton in this car.” Barbara, half out of the ear, was quite unable to conceal her stupefication. So, apparantly, was Jones, who all but gasped. “It’s very kind of you. I don't know how to thank you. But what CONFIDENCE that perhaps you would allow me | about you? How will you get home?” ¥ “By ftrain,” “Sugar” answered her. As the car moved off, Barbara glanced out of the back window. “Sugar” Cane was standing in the middle of the road and she thought he was talking to himself. But under the uncertain lights she could not be sure. (Copyright, 1932, Julia Cleft Addams.) Barbara is shocked almost beyond endurance Monday, by what she finds in London. ——————— Make Millions Think—ana Buy) | et D o 1 Sy S REGISTRATION OF VOTERS Registration Book for Registra- tion of Voters, General Municipal Election to be held Tuesday, April 4, 1933, will be opened Wednesday, March 1, 1932, and remain open until Saturday evening, April 1, 1933.
