It did a splendid day's {giving the stocking of these areas a mnew impetus| icks and geese present in are motivated by n to be fed to numbers in nearby flats large the same spirit. The need is serious and will be for a short time. In both cases many aid. All who go afield in the deer-inhabited regions can, by equipping them- iselves with a small axe, cut small trees and brush for browse for the animals. And small contribu- tions from all local sportsmen will assure an abund-, ance of grain for the wildfowl. The benefits from this relief work are obvious, aside from the humani- tarian aspect which not inconsiderable. Deer saved now means undepleted stock and continued good hunting in coming, seasons. Birds fed near here are apt to remain over the breeding season, and providing better shooting in the years to come. All who can ought to.share in these activities. For a few days, at least, we can quit worrying about whether the Japs have chaséd the Chinks out of Jehol, or the Chinks have knocked Je-hell out of the Japs. Avoiding Mistakes. (New York World-Telegram.) The United States, on the eve of a return of beer and light wines and the subsequent repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, will make serious mis- takes if it does not study the problem in advance and profit to the utmost from the mistakes and; successes of other countries. Canada and Finland had to make extensive ad- justments in their original plans of Government- controlled sales. Rum-running and bootlegging re- fused to die just because liquor was publicly sold. Finland started out with too rigorous restrictions, which were actually a form of Prohibition, with most of its evils. These were steadily liberalized, but bootlegging still goes on work when it completed its organization, inslallmg‘] capable, experienced and efficient men in the posi-!

In Mrs. Agnes Adsit for Secretary of the Senate and Claud Helgesen for Clerk of the House, both bodies have chiefs of staffs who can be dependcd‘ on to carry out their orders and render them the highest class of service. Seldom in its history has the Legislature had two such efficient and capable aids at the same time. With a corps of able assist- ants, they will handle the business efficiently and expeditiously. MAYOR ANTON J. CERMAK. In the life of Anton J. Cermak, Mayor of Chicago, whose death in Miami as the result of bullet wounds at the hands of an assassin who sought to take the life of President-Elect Roosevelt, is typified all of the romance of America. He died in a manner typical of his living—waging a gallant fight against great odds. From the first medical attendants entertained but little hope for his recov- ery, but he refused to give up and if the will to live had been all-availing, then he had not died. That was the spirit that characterized Mayor Cermak’s rise from a poverty-stricken immigrant lad to the head of the second greatest city in the land of his adoption. He didn't gain the peak by a sudden brilliant coup, rather by a persistent fight to overcome handicaps that might well have defeated a weaker character. He mounted the ladder of success steadily if not rapidly. Each step was planned and taken orderly. And his defeat of “Big Bill” Thompson, famed far and wide as boss or‘ Chicago, brought him into national prominence. Since taking that office he has labored mightily to drive out the forces of hoodlumism and racketeering, not without material success. He was not less active in seeking to raise his city out of the financial depths to which it had been dragged during the long Thompson regime. President Roosevelt paid him a real tribute shortly after he was wounded, saying: “The Nation needs you.” Chicago and the nation does need men like Cermak. His tragic and untimely end is Indeed a loss to his city and his country. CARING FOR OUR GAME RESOURCES. The current activities of volunteers in feeding deer over a large area north, south and west of Juneau, and similar relief pf migratory wild fowl on the flats bordering Gastineau Channel from town ° to Mendenhall constitute the finest sort of reply to ' those uninformed individuals “somewhere east” of the Mississippi who impute to Alaskans the desire to do nothing but exterminate the Territory's wild life. Of course, there are not many of that class who have appointed themselves to be the saviours of our game. The great bulk of sincere wild life protectionists who have a personal acquaint- ance with Alaskans and with conditiéns that obtain here are under no such false impression. ‘Except for such volunteer work as that being . done by the party that left here recently aboard the Alaska Game Commission’s vessel, Seal, to cover hun- dreds of miles of shoreline on Admiralty, Douglas, and ~ Chichagof Islands, ‘hundreds of deer would die of starvation. These men asked for no pay for their |arguments. Nova Scotia has prevented bootlegging in beer and wine by making the price very low. But Nova Scotia has attempted to make money by heavy taxation of hard liquor, and bootlegging is thriving as a result. So it is apparent offhand that Government in law violations. This was clearly shown in our pre-Prohibition days. Government in the liquor be afflicted with criminal opposition. This is but one part of the general problem which will be handed to this country for solution when Congress authorizes wine and beer and when the Eighteenth Amendment is repealed. Governor Leh- man has a board studying this problem in New York State. Emanuel Celler has put forth a plan for county licensing. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is send- ing a commission to Finland, where the wet return occurred only last year. The drys are building up propaganda to the ef- fect that modification of the Volstead law and repeal would create chaos. They draw pictures of the old saloon days coming back. But the experiments of both Canada and Finland have been so successful as to contradict the dry Government control of liquor sales has reduced drunkenness, bootlegging and racketeering. It has increased temperance. If the United States works out its problem thor- oughly in advance of Congressional action mistakes will be minimized. A good psychological start upon the truly noble experiment will be indispensable; Minister of Morale. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) It seriously is suggested that a new member be added to President Roosevelt's Cabinet—a “Secre- tary of Public Morale.” This is indeed something jnew, at least since the day of the Puritan in this jcountry. Here is opened up an interigueing perspective— the raising and stabilizing of popular sentiment by official action. The modus operandi is not explained, but the idea seems to be the centralization of public welfare interests in the hands of an individual authority. Would sueh addition to the Cabinet re- lieve each other member of his duty to contribute to the general good in his own way within the limitations of his office? And would the influence of the new Cabinet member be extended to private morals as well as public morale? And what should be the qualifications of such a political semi- deity? The suggestion seems to smack of the same spirit which fastened the lamentable Prohibition policy upon the country. It proposes a final author- ity for our goings in and our comings out indus- trially, socially and spiritually—the appointing of an official shepherd—doubtless with a club or rock behind his back—to overlook the nation’s affairs, to groove its sentiments into appointed channels. Obviously it would appear to be a gigantic task for any authority, centralized or diffused, to straighten out this disturbed and complex morale of the Democratic or Republican parties at this time, to say nothing of a confused and harried public interest in any other relation. The Dime-Tip Era. (New York Herald Tribune.) The lament of the speaker at a recént meeting of a nationwide organization of headwaiters to the effect that maitres d’hotel and captains no longer receive the lavish fees of more prosperous years for their services and that the average garcon today considers himself lucky if he receives a thin, worn dime for his pains serves to'remind that at least the depression has accomplished the rehabilitation of the 10-cent tip. Just how long ago it was that a dime was in vogue as pourboire and was received with respectful gratitude only oldtimers and chron- iclers of our social mores can'compute. Now, however, there seems to be a true renais- sance of the dime tip. Even the “half-dime” a coin long supposed known only to numismatists, is received with’ smilink obeisance. The nickel shine’ flourishes once more, at least along the sidewalk reaches of the metropolis, and who knows when the 10-cent shave may not return? Perhaps it would even be expedient for Treasury experts to look into the possible use of the three and two cent pieces whose coinage was discontinued long ago. With insurance companies declining to fore- close, the bucolic drama with the old homestead SYNOPSIS: The large for- tune Sir James Cane took from Barbara years before has been restered, and Barbara has di« vided it equally between her- relf, the Canes, and Mark Lodely and his mecther. Mark is a successful London' artist; Barbara a successful London decorator. Their long-standing cngagement was broken and Farrell Armitage, wealthy Lon- doner, was Barbara’s announc- ed suitor. Now, without warn- ing, a newspaper prints the news that Barbara and Mark will marry. Leila Cane, who loves Mark, reads the article ¢ just as che starts to work. CHAPTER 48. BARBARA’S SURPRISE Mark and Barbara. After that first swimming moment in her mother’s room Leila had felt noth- ing emotionally new about it. There had been so little hope, really, that Farrell Armitage would be able to come between them. She had not seen him since that day!i of climax nearly a year ago when he had pushed the emerald into her hand, but Patsy Raoul spoke of him sometimes. She went up Malavie's dark stairs and into the room where she had to leave her hat. She had taken a cab, and her extravagance had made her almost the earliest ar- rival. She walked through the empty, sunny workrooms and through a door letter “Miss Quen- tin.” She knew there was a tele- phone there, and she thought it would amuse her to ring up Bar- Senator Allen Shattuck is as nearly ideal for m!‘l“-ymg to reduce drinking and enforce temperance|para before she left home. “Wish of the upper branch as can be found.\ny high prices stimulates moonshining and general|ner luck and all that.” . ¥ But Barbara was not at her ho- tel; she was here in the big bare She leaned, palms down- ward, upon a pile of sketches, her pose absorbed and intent, her eye blank. ‘ “Oh! Sorry!” said Leila. Barbara started and smiled. The sketches toppled and she strnight-l ened them before she spoke. L “You're early, Leila. All well?” “All excellent, thanks. If you don't hear glowing reports of my progress, it's only because I donit seem to be making any.” She pauss ed and added: “I came in to use your 'phone in your absence. as & matter of fact.” “Breach of discipline,” twinkled Barbara. “Good thing I'm here to stop you.” They regarded each other easily and pleasantly across the littered table. “Well, I hope you know what L would have said to you, on the ’phone,” managed Leila at last. “I don’t know why it always sounds 50 much thinner done face to face. But there you are—I wish you happiness. Both of you.” Barbara lifted her head sharp- ly. The movement brought it into shadow, and immediately the sil- very gold deepened and darkened, wave upon wave. Her eyes dark- ened, too and grew wary. “I don’t understand you. You speak as though I—I'd chosen.” “Well, according to the paper, you have. announced to Mark.” “But it can’t be! I didn't send any announcement to the papers.” Leila shrugged. “Well, someone did. Mark, prob- ably. You'll have shoals of con- gratulations all day, I don't doubt.” She turned away, moistening dry lips. “But—" began Barbara. She looked suddenly very young, slender, bewildered child in a dark frock. “There’s a mistake,” she inisted. “If Mark announced our engagement, he did it for some reason of his own. I haven't said I'd marry him.” “But you are going to. you?” . “Why need I marry anybody? I'm happy as I am.” “You needn’t, but you will. You are that kind. Men—Mark’s kind and Farrell's kind — will always want you. And they’ll badger you until you get desperate and marry—anyone. Malavie, Ltd.” The tension relaxed. Barbara colored, glanced toward a door that led into the great man’s sanc- tum. “Oh, he's thought of commented Leila shrewdly. Aren't at last what his real name is.” Barbara gathered up the pile of sketches and' took them to Jacques Malavie, Ltd., who, like herself, had started work at six*o'clock that morning. In a room even bigger and barer than hers he now sat with the morning papers before him and removed a pince- nez from his scholarly countenance as he asked whether she had fin- ished. “Yes.
