LARGE—U ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ALASKA CIRCUL THAN TH JUNEAU WELCOMES AIRMEN. The return of the seaplane Baranof here Monday marking the resumption of the Alaska Southern Airways of a 1 transportation out of Juneau for e community. This com- pany was organized last year and maintained a plane here throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall, giving dependable service at reasonable rates under existing conditions. The service announced for this year is not only vastly improved over that of 1932 but charges for it have been reduced materially. Reduced rates for trips to all Southeast Alaska towns are made ef- fective, and special charter rates for fishing sight- seeing or other trips are 10 per cent under those of last year. A regurar scnedule between head- quarters here and many points in Southeast Alaska will be maintained. A second plane will be brought north next month to aid in carrying out the plans announced. All of this is welcome news indeed. Combined with the dependability of the craft used and the high class of _operating personnel, it will build business for the company, and be a decided asset | to the business section of this and other com- munities to be served. CONTROL OF FUR AND GAME. Two memorials, one in each house, are before the Legislature urging Congress to amend the Alaska Organic Act to make it possible for Alaska, through its Legislature, “to “control “and” regulate' its ‘ghmed and fur resources. One of them, introduced by Senator DeVane, is highly critical of the Alaska Game Commission, and its regulations which are declared to be “oppressive and repugnant.” Possibly the senior Senator from the Fourth Division is harsher in his criticisms than necessary or justifed. Incidents, of course, have occurred in the administration of the law and regulations that cannot be reasonably defended. The Commission, we believe, so far as possible under the set-up of its creation and existence, has sincerely attempted to represent the local viewpoints generally. Its greatest misfortune is that the real seat of power does not repose in it, but in the hands of Wash- ington officers, thousands of miles distant, who have no comprehensive knowledge of the resources they administer and regulate. Experience of all governments prove that such administration is unwise and ineffective.. Lessons of the past are convincing that no body of four or five men, such as the present Alaska Game Com- mission, will ever be able to function satisfactorily under such arrangement. This is particularly true as regards resources of the type of game and fur, which enter into the everyday life and activities of most men and women going into a frontier country like this Territory. Only the most confplete system of local control will ever prove satisfactory and be successful. In the light of precedent of all other Territories and the development of the whole country, the Legislature’s request for that control is sound, and it ought to be granted by the present Congress. STILL THUMBING HIS NOSE. For more than a quarter of a century, since 1905 to be exact, George Bernard Shaw, aged Irish playwright, has been thumbing his nose at Ameri- cans. During that period he has achieved many thousands of inches of front page publicity that would never have come to him had he made gestures of friendship instead of brandishing a club every time he mentioned the people of the United States. So when a few days ago he loosed another broadside of invective against Americans and their insti- tutions he was merely following the “gag” that has brought to him wealth through the sale of his books and plays to the American reading public. There was a time when what he said was funny. But even the wittiest of sallies constantly repeated without material variation for 28 years is bound to pall upon the ears of his auditors. When he said President Roosevelt was elected because he was photographed with a baby at the right time, he is merely reiterating the often expressed opinion that no man could be elected President of fthe United States if he didn't go around the country kissing babies. His other satirical remarks were all of that type. He dressed up old ideas in new clothes, paraded them before 5,000 highbrows in New York's Metropolitan Opera House, and raked in the dollars. At the same time he again made front page position on thousands of newspapers all over the United States. It is a fine publicity stunt, one that hu never failed him. He confessed as much three years ago in an interview widely quoted at that time: =~ I have been particularly. careful never to cent Americans as 99 per cent an idiot. And they just. adore me and will go on adoring me until in a moment of senile senti- mentality I say something nice about them, when they will suspect me of being only a cheap skate after all, and drop me like a hot potato. Holding that convictioh, in these days of de- pressed book sales when royalties even to the great Shaw must have shrunken alarmingly, it is nof |strange that he made his first appearance before {an audience in the United States the occasion for |saying the most unkind things he could think of |about our most cherished institutions. After 30 years of bootleg beer around Con- gressional halls, the nation’s lawmakers have at last achieved real beer served in the House res- taurant. It is enough to make the late Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti-Saloon League dictator for so many )cnrs turn over in his grave. President Roosevelt again demonstrated his mas:vry of Congress when at his request the cur- rency inflation amendment to the farm bill was stricken, and the Wheeler free silver coinage pro- posal voted down. America S’amuse. (New York Times.) In January, 1931, the Department of Commerce reported that miniature golf had become a $125,- 000,000 industry. Within a few months its magnates folded their imitation greens and quietly disappeared nto the limbo of forgotten fads. In the same year the nation’s spare time was monopolized by a game called mah-jong. Soon. this touch of neo-Orient- alism was left to its handful of original devotees. Meanwhile, the cross-word puzzle, no longer in the category of a craze, had become definitely estab- lished. ‘Today millions of Americans are putting together jig-saw puzzles, How long this will go on is a question involving imponderables. Once it became suspected that there was a market for jig-saw puz- zles, all the clairvoyant resourcefulness and ingenuity of American salesmanship were employed in their manufacture and sale. One could buy a different puzzle every week along with one's favorite maga- zine. “Mystery Jigs” appeared acompanied by pamphlets telling a story the point of which could be learned by completing the puzzle. There were puzzles that solved riddles. Puzzles were made from the works of well-known cartoonists. Photographs of popular moving-picture and radio stars were “jigged” and sold with their biographies. Your own photograph or your baby's or your sweetheart’s could be cut up into a jig-saw puzzle. There were even ig-saw puzzles which, when completed, could be framed and hung on the walls as oil paintings. To some-all this is the aftermath of the breath- less boom days—a sort of back to the home and fireside movement. . There are those to whom it is just another manifestation of the deep-rooted herd instinct in the American subconscious. To others it is a tribute to the effectiveness of American ballyhoo. Staying the Hand of Death. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) Dr. William J. Mayo believes that mankind is eoming appreciably nearer to the day when there will_be no “unnecessary” deaths. The famous physician points out that the num- ber of diseases which can be cured is constantly increasing, and remarks that the advance in the fight against sickness in the last decade is “little short of miraculous.” So, once again, a great medical scientist has given us a new hope. But it is his phraseology that attracts attention, somehow; that little ex- pression, “unnecessary deaths,” sums up graphically mankind’s long fight against an enemy that is cer- tain to win in the end. What it implies, of course, is something that even a small child knows—that death is inevitable for everyone, and that even the wisest doctor cannot, after all, do, more than postpone something that will happen eventually. The death of a small child, so unbelievably hard to bear; the death of a youth who has just begun to show promise of achievement; the death of one who has just reached the height of his pow- ers and who has fine work yet to do; the death of a loved person with whom one has just started to explore the inexpressive richnes of human devo- tion—these are the tragedies that darken life the most. If we could once know that death could be made to wait until its season had come, its final ar- rival would not be so appalling. And it is this prospect which Dr. Mayo holds out to us. A Little Street Where Old Friends Meet. (Fairbanks News-Miner.) That little street is right in your own home town. If you make it a friendly street outsiders will want to come and share it with you. They will sense the glow of friendly contact and wish to linger long within its warmth. And a friendly street is so easy to obtain. Just a kindly attitude towards your neighbor and others with whom you divide the care of the day. Just a little human understand- ing of what constitutes gentleness and courtesy. That's all you need to make a street where old friends want to meet. ‘The community that prospers is always a friend- ly community. Today the world is seeking out such places. There is so much of travail and harshness in the everyday affairs of life that friendly havens beckon from afar. If you want your home town to be prosperous, to be known as a friendly spot, then you be friendly too. It is a good message to carry with you during the year—and n pays big dividends in happiness and prosperity. One good way to prevent the return of the bar would be to place the sale of beer under control of the Anti-Saloon League.—(Philadelphia Bulle- tin) If business is lielng stimulated by ‘passage of the beer law, that is the sort of kick which every- body welcomes.—(Chicago News.) An incensed reader of the Herald Post writes: “I want a newspaper that is bone-dry.” It shouldn't be much trouble to get one that way; the graveyard is full of them.—(Louisville Herald-Post.) Now the restaurant manager is busy answering the customers who want to know whether or not beer will be served with a 25-cent lunch.—(Boston Transeript.)

He gives her a pistol, and asks her to repeat to him what she lecarns about Major Napoleon Riccoli of the Foreign Legion, who is about to arrive at Me- kazzen, his head full of traitor- ous, extravagant dreams of Empire—with himself as Em- peror, \ Chapter 33 THE LEGION ARRIVES The bugles . . . The crisp, clear, rousing notes of the silver-voiced if brazen-ton= gued bugles. The very sound of them did one good, thought Mar- garet. Bracing like a cold bath, aft- er the noises of the shrill native instruments. The breath of the bugles, albeit foreign bugles, was as a breath from home. Foreign hugles. Bugles of the Foreign Legion. Otho’s Regiment. It was entirely possible that there might be a man in that de- tachment, marching far below, through the Mekazzen city, march- ing up to this very Citadel, who had known Otho. All of them would know of Otho Belleme, any- how—the man who had defeatec the Senegalese boxer (who had fought and beaten the champion af Europe) in what must have been one of the finest and stubbornes! fights ever seen. That was what the Echo d'Oran had called it anyhow. Would it be posible to get tc know some of the men,- and to find out if any of them had known him? If the detachment left Me: kazzen before she did, it migh be the quickest way of getting a letter to him. But why should the detachment | leave Mekazzen before she did: Why should she not leave with them—or at least more or less un- der their convoy and protection? This Major Riccoli, whose ac- quaintance Herr Schlacht was anx- jous for her to make, might prove most useful. If he would help her to escape, could she not follow the detach- ment wherever t went, until it reached civilization again—or with- in a camel-journey of civilization? Anything to get away from thic sinister terrifying prison After all, this Riccoli was an of- ficer and “a gentleman” of sorts presumably; and he and his men were Europeans with whom e white woman would be safe. Yes surely, she could manage Majo: Riccoli, if only he could, anc would, procure her a camel anc what little else was necessary. Swiftly completing her toilet, she locked her incongruous-looking dressing case, unbarred her door, and ran down the steep and nar- row flight of steps to the point of vantage whence she could see the soldiers march into the citadel. Yes—there they came, an officer riding ahead—he must be the pe- culiar Major Riccoli—then the bu- glers blowing their march, then the little column with a tall non- commissioned officer in front, How swaggeringly smart, self- confident, up-standing and alert “steady and strong, marching al like the boys of the Old Brigade' —like the guards themselves for style, bearing and discipline. But oh, how dusty and dirty, weary and worn and hollow-eyed they looked, in spite of their brave swagger. Margaret felt a rush and glaw of emotion. A feeling in the throaf and a tear. Very foolish. Otho’s Regiment. Later that day, a tall, broad- shouldered young legionnaire stood on sentry outside the guard-room of the quarters allotted to the de- tachment. ‘Washed, shaven, brushed and cleaned, his accoutrements as bright and smant as “spit-and- polish” could make them, he looked the picture of a soldier, a tough, hard-fighting men, an old cam- paigner, though & young man, Bleu-eyed, handsome, fair al- though sunburnt, with aristocratic features, he looked a very forceful person, @ man of great strength of character as well as of body. A woman, bearing a jar of water on her right shoulder, crossed the | the {§ vast court-yard, passed near sentry, drew her veil across her face and one eye, and had a good look at him with the other. Handsome, she decided. “White and beautiful as Sueira,” as they say in Mogador. What did it mat- ter to her whether he were French, Spanish, English or German? She was not the Lady El Isa Beth el Ain. Anyhow, the soldier was one of the white kind; the Christians.| What was it they said about them in Mogador? The Christian cares, for nothing but money; not inter- ested in a pretty girl, even? Well, her mistress, the Lady El Isa Beth €l Ain would be interested to know theré were Christians, perhaps English soldiers in the citadel. A man, a young Moor, in a beau- tiful- hooded blue-cloth cloak, like a Roman toga; big turban, and rid- ing boots emerged from a near: entry and also passed ‘the sentry.

In passing, he too glanced at the fine soldierly figure and handsome face of the sentry, now pacing his sat, and passing close to him. No feature of the Moor's impassive face changed in the slighlest, but he quickly looked away, his large, T t eyes blazed.

A few minutes later another man passed the sentry, a slower, fatter person, in khaki packet and riding oreeches beneath a white cloak, A small white turban concealed his ace. He too looked at the sentry, as ne marched past him, looked quick- 'y and glanced away again. A minute later this man joined he other who had bidden him tc ake stock of the sentry by the 1lewcomers’ quarters. Bursting into the room and fling- ng himeslf down on a divan, he oared with laughter—not drunken aughter nor the laughter of a uite sober man. “By God, Raisul, youre right,” e said. “It is he. Otho Belleme— wy all that's wonderful!” “Not so wonderful, either, my jood Jules,” replied Raisul. “We wmew he joined the Foreign Legion \nd we knew a detachment of the “rench Foreign Legion was coming aere. Well, it's come—and he’s in t.” “But—by Allah!” Raisul added, wnd licked his lips while his hands noved in a curiously -suggestive nd unpleasant gesture, “Absolutely amazing!” continued Tules Maligni. “Otho Belleme here. fere—and in our hands . . .” “Yes. Here—and in our hands,” aid Raisul, playing with the long lagger that he wore stuck perpen- Hcularly in the center of the sash vound abcut his waist. “What next?” asked’ Jules, eye- ng his cousin speculatively. “Oh, something quite interesting lext, my good Jules. Quite funny. 1ow that, by the grace and good- nes of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, we have got the 00d Otho Belleme just where he vill be most useful, just where we yant him, something quite amusing 5 going to happen.

What about Margaret?” | “You aren't very fond of Othc Belleme, my good Jules, are you? lYour wife's lover. The man for iove of whom she married you— but of pique, because he stole a ourse of money. The man she still loves—and with whom she’'d go off, wy day, if he whistled to her, as you yourself have tearfully told me in your cups.
