WITHDRAWAL MOVE NOT UNEXPECTED. Thé request made by the Pacific Steamship Lines, Ltd., the Admiral Line transportation interests, to be permitted to withdraw from the Alaska route is not altogether unexpected. Those who have watched the by the Los Angéeles Chamber of Commerce entitled “Facts About. thé Earthquake in Southern Cali- fornia, March 10, 1933.” Undismayed by the great tremor that-left death and destruction in its wake, the people of Los Angeles, Long Beach and other California towns stricken are losing no time in rebuilding their homes, stores and other public structures. Southern California “has not lost its faith or confidence in itself or its future.” That is the same spirit that rebuilt San Fran- cisco after its great earthquake of 1906, making it a more substantial city, more secure and more lovely than before the disaster. And like the Golden Gate City, Los Angeles and her sister cities will re- emerge better, finer places in which to live. All America can learn from the spirit of these Californians courageous. For almost four years now he country has been beset with man-made ills. Cures for them have not been devised to the satis- faction of even the economists, but everyone knows that they can be remedied and prevented from re- curring. That is more than Southern California knows about earthquakes which can neither be pre- vented nor avoided. Yet they rebuild, taking care in the process to erect structures that will resist the awe-inspiring power of the unknown and un- knowable destructive forces. Thus can the country set about rebuilding its own economic and industrial structure and found the process on that courage that is back of Southern California’s reconstruction. This afternoon and tonight, then Monday after- noon and evening, is all the time that remains for registration for the municipal election of next Tues- day. There are hundreds of persons qualified other- wise to vote who have not yet registered, and until they do they cannot vote. Register at once! Then Tuesday! next Putting It to the Touch.

Unknown te Margaret, her “ girlhood cweetheart, Otho Belleme, is in Ricolli's com- mand. Chapter 19 SUL IN LOVE Jules! “Is that you, Jules?” said Mar- garet, confused, suddenly awakened from sleep by a slight sound in the pitch-dark room—for nowadays she slept as lightly as a mouse or a bird. “Who's there? Is that you, Jules?” repeated Margaret, whether she had been mistaken. She had retired to rest in the great stone turret-room, leaving sul, the Kaid and the curious man whom Pedro Maligni addressed as IH(l'r Schlacht—although Jules had told her that he was a German of- ficer, Ober-Leutnant Carl von Mit- tengen.

There has been a tremendous decline in revenue-producing traffic of all kinds. Freight move- ment both north and southbound has decreased n the thousands of tons since 1930. And the drop in passengers carried is numbered in the thousands.| That the present season offers any promise of material betterment in the situation, no one will| claim. The transportation companies may have as good a season as last year, but not better. There is nothing in sight just now that offers a prospect for profit for two fleets of American-owned steamers that normally divide the bulk of the freight business| and battle for their proportion of the passenger trade. Good business judgment naturally dictates the curtailment service by both lines, or a with- drawal of one. Such a step will inconvenience Al- askans more than a little. This, however, must be borne until business conditions can right themselves. Much that the of praise for the extraordinary vigor and resolution with which he moved to take up the tremendous |tasks which were thrust upon him at the very thresheld of office. Decisions which brooked no delay he made out of hand. Into situations which were bad enough to paralyze an ordinary Executive he flung himself with direct courage. Had he not succeeded, the failure would have been disastrous to his prestige. But he boldly risked all in order to win much. The question now arises, however, whether he ought to press his good fortune too hard. Whatever may be said of the farm bill, it does not rank in the public mind with the critical meas- ures which had to be adopted respecting the banks, or with the Economy Bill which the President drove to enactment with amazing speed. He can hardly expect the farm bill to score a like triumph for him. He himself was forted in honesty to say to Congress that he is not thoroughly convinced that it will work. He commends it only as a desperate remedy for a desperate disease and evidently regards it as a form of that “experimentation” which he spoke claret, and assorted French lique- d urs on the low table in the tiled and I rule And you call yourself a gentle- the Kaid.” garden, and Jules had flatly refused man and you ... .” to leave the parly when she had; Raisul !3uzh<ld again. suggested retiring. | “Not a bit it, my darling.

President Roosevelt must be aware of the political hazards he is running through advocating this leg- islation, so that, in a sense, he is fully as daring lin putting it to the touch as he was in openly defying the American Legion one day and the Anti- Saloon League the next. ' ESTABLISHING RECORDS, ident Roosevelt is not the only one to have set precedents and established new records since he entered the White House. The plain people have had a go at the same thing. Says an Asso- clated Press dispatch of recent date from Wash- ington: A new White House record: Twelve days in office and President Roosevelt has re- ceived 14,000 telegrams praising his action. And here's a record too: One thousand and five hundred telegrams were said there today to.have supported his veterans and After being accustomed to taking about one-half of 1 per cent for so many years, the optimist will reflect that 5 per cent at the bank is quite liberal. —(Indianapolis Star.)

Wouldn't that be nice? For you know you don’t love him, Margaret.
