ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION THE ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL. In the general appropriations measure now before the Legislature there is one item that, small though it is, represents much. That is $4,000 for the Chil- dren’s Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle. For more than a quarter of a century that institution has rendered a service to the little children of the North- west, including Alaska, that cannot be measured in terms of money. Often, in the case of Alaska there was no money available to make payment with, Yet the same facilities were offered, the same tender care and skilled treatment, that were given to those who came with ample funds. As was said in the lates{ annual report from the Hospital Association under whose auspices the Orthopedic is operated, “the work carried one * * * is like a great building to which many contribute the stones and other materials that go into its con- structoin, in the Middle Ages the cathedrals were built. It is a monument to the generosity of the friends of the Hospital and their loyal devo- tion to the cause of helping crippled children.” It is right that Alaska should share in this great work. Nowhere is childhood so elevated as| in this Territory. No people have greater love for children than Alaskans. That they officially “con- tribute stones and other materials” in the form of financial support through their Legislature is a| matter of gratification to them all. It is a cause of deep regret to all of them that existing financial conditions of their treasury will' not permit of a contribution more commensurate with the services that the Orthopedic Hospital has given and is con- tinuing to offer to the crippled tots of Alaska. as PUT SURPLUS EGGS DOWN IN WATER- GLASS SOLUTION. Fresh eggs-preserved in water glass in April and May will be good for cooking purposes up to next November or December, the United States De- partment of Agriculture says. Water glass is a common name for sodium silicate, which may be purchased at any drug store. Preserve only clean, fresh, .iuicruile eggs, the department warns. Dirty eggs will spoil, and washing them removes the protective coaling which prevents spoiling. Cracks, ever so tiny, may cause spoilage. It is a wise precaution to examine every egg by candling. The department gives these suggestions: Clean and scald a 5-gallon crock, allow it to dry, and place il where the eggs are to be stored. After heatix quantity of water to the boiling point let it cool. wnd mix the water-glass solution in the crock by adding 1 quart of water glass to 9 gallons of water. Ploce the eggs in the solution as they are available. 'Handle them carefully to avoid cracking, and always be sure at least 2 inches of the solution covers the eggs. The crock should be kept covered, to retard evaporation. The eggs may be used at any time. If there are to be boiled, a small hole should be made with a pin in one end to prevent their cracking. HIGHWAY WORK PROVIDES MOST" JOBS. The inclusion of highway construction as a prime factor in relief of unemployment on the Administration’s unemployment relief program is supported by the American Association of State Highway Officials which is c¢onvinced that road building is the most effective creator of jobs on the entire list of public works. This is the view expressed by C. H. Morefield, President of that organization, in discussing the relation of highway construction programs to the unemployment situa- tion. Mr. Morefield said: Highway construction is the most ef- fective job creator among public works. For that reason Federal aid for road asumes an importance warranting immediate action by Congress. Highway work offers distribution of labor perhaps unequaled by any other large in- dustry. The United States Bureau of Public Roads learned in a thorough study that ninety cents of the road dollar goes to labor. State highway programs aided by Federal appropriations, in 1932 provided employment for more than 333,000 men directly on roads. This figure is taken from contractors’ pay- rolls. Another 660,000 men were kept busy supplying materials and equipment. With dependents, State road building gave a means of livellhood to at least 4,000,000 people. Highway building brings to the people the country over- something they need and the next two fiscal years, as the current authorization ends July 1. This ‘done, the States can lay plans to proceed with their full 1933 programs and men can resume their jobs. Then the country will have at least one large industry procesding in its normal course. During the past two years, Alaska has felt keenly the reduction in funds available for road building. Both the United States Bureau of Public Roads and the Alaska Road Commission suffered radical cuts in appropriations for their activities in the Territory and consequently the average number of men employed on roads was reduced materially at the very time that industry here could not take up the slack. The policy of the Federal Government in Alaska was in direct contrast to that pursued in the States. There more Federal funds were provided for road construction than ever before, States, unable to furnish their quota of co-operative funds, were enabled to borrow from the Federal Government for that purpose. But here on a plea of economy, road funds were slashed to the barest maintenance needs. Recently the Legislature adopted a memorial calling attention to many worthy projects on which Federal money can be expended without waste. s 'And such expenditures would furnish badly needed relie’ to persons long without without present hope for work. employment and Now is come among us a new pest—the jigsaw kabitzer, who hasn‘t enough gumption to know he's putting his foot in it when he puts his hand in it. “Beer for revenue” was the slogan of Congress and many State Legislatures and is frequently heard in the Alaska Legislature. Unles there is some speeding up of supplies, however, there doesn't seem to be much chance to balance the budget with taxes from beer sales.

The President has moved with astounding assur- ance and swiftness in pushing across his ambi- tiou program of legislation. He has gained much. The country is the gainer. Some things—vastly important things—may be said to have been settled for good by his alert and forceful leadership at a crucial time. But the President’s swift pace is in the way of being halted. The tempo of the challenging cru- sade is changing. We cannot go on in such quick time, and it is not essential or advisable in normal times to do so. What is remarkable is that the President capably has led us out of a dazed condi- tion and secured momentous results before we were aroused out of our confusion. Congress begins to murmur. As emergency re- cedes, its members show signs that they want more to say about matters. Protests are beginning to be heard. The road of the valiant crusader will likely be not so smooth in the near future, es- pecially after patronage matters are crystallized. Congressional delay and obstruction in time doubtless will find itself as of old. And, perhaps, this is not a bad thing. Even most great ques- tions must take the normal course. After the honeymoon folks usually settle down to enjoy a more or less ordered existence. Criticism is a proper spur. It brings out the best of advocacy and defense. It would not do to have at all times an entire nation of yes-men. Difference of opinion and argument are whole- some, and we have to get down to slower and more regular pace. But President Roosevelt assured- ly has taught his fellow countrymen a lesson by which they should hereafter greatly profit. “A Lot of Dynamite.” (New York Times.) It used to be the theory, and it was the theory of the makers of the Constitution, that the Senate would be more conservative than the House, a check upon hasty and imprudent legislation. On Thurs-| day the Senate pased by 53 to 30 the Black bill to prevent interstate commerce in commodities pro- duced in factories whose employees work more than thirty hours a week. A time-limit of two years was fixed. The majority decision of the Supreme Court in 1918 on the Federal child labor act seems to make this bill palpaby unconstitutional; but statesmen full of good intentions were able to persuade themselves that they were justified in guessing that the Supreme Court, as' now con- stituted, might hold valid what had been held in- valid. In an emergency everything “goes”; and surely a little unconstitutionality for two years might be forgiven. The dangerous implications of the bill are obvious. Where would Federal interference with the processes and conditions and wages of labor in the States end if this jump upon the sovereignty of the States should be followed, as it undoubtedly would be ,by further encroachment and bureaucratic mastery? Of its immediate effect, if it became a law, Senator Reed may or may not have gone too far in predicting that it “will pretty nearly ex- tinguish the last gasp of industry.” At any rate, it has made Speaker Rainey stare and gasp. “There is a lot of dynamite in that bill” he told a press conference yesterday. There will be no explosion at present. The sober House is going to hold back the hothieads of the other body. Wait till all of President Roosevelt's [“reconstruction Jegislation” has been passed. Then the thirty-hour-a-week pro- posal may be taken up. According to Mr. Rainey, “it is not a part of the Administration legislative program as yet.” That program is sufficiently ample without this doubtful and perilous project. Mr. Reed put the case in a nutshell: The effect of this bill is going to be one thing or the other. It must necessarily be that it will either raise the cost of produc- tion of manufactured articles, or else it will lower the wages of those engaged in the production of such articles. There can be no other alternative. He added, with bitter truth: “We never yet got ourselves out of a depression by loafing; we have] only gotten out by hard work.” =The genesis of this bill and the submissiveness of the majority of the Senate to a project economically and con- stitutionally so equivocal have a curious look. Were some Senators trying to force the President’s hand? Did some Senators vote yes with their tongues in their cheeks, hoping or confident that the House something which does not have to be sold before used. For these feasons, highways have been given first rank as a provider would squelch the bill? It seems there are a ol of folks thirsting after knowledge, which is specifically whether 3.2 legal beer is superior to home-brew or vice versa.—(Ohio State Journal.) 4 by Percival SYNOPSIS: Frightened by the amorcus advances of Raisul son of the Kaid of Mekazzen, Margaret Maligni is forced to go for aid to a German agent in Mekazzen. He suggests that in return Margaret tell him what she learns from Major Napcleen Riccoli’ of the For- cign Legicn, ostensibly on a mission from France to the Kaid, but actually a ,traitor. Margaret’s husband, Jules, has become detestable to her; in Riccoli's command is Othe Belleme, Margaret's first sweet- heart. Riccoli tells her of the cxploits of another traitor to France.

And no more Herr Schlacht between us. We're friends, and we're going to be partners, we'll talk in English. We're going to help each other. Now, you tell me exactly what Riccoli said to you—and then I am going to tell you the truth about myself. Cards make war upon him, and then, having failed to defeat him, they sent a mission to negotiate with him. “What became of him? Nobody knows, or rather, as I said, no European knows. But one thing is certain, neither he, nor any man of his battery was ever seen by a white man again. “Think of it, Mademoiselle . And while he, too, thought of it, Major Riccoli, with apparent absence of mind, put his right arm about Margaret's waist and then, with obvious presence of mind, put his left hand beneath her chin, tipped up her face and drew her closely to him. With equal presence of mind, Margaret wriggled free. ‘Madame Maligni,” he said re- proachfully, “Margaret, I have fall- en in love with you. I love you My first love and love at first sight. Do you love me?” “Not yet, Major Riccoli.” “Margaret, could you love me?" “I don't know, Major Riccoli.” “Ah, but you do not know. You call be Major Riccoli, but that I shall not be for long. Do you know my other name?” “I'm afraid not, Major Riccoll.” “Napoleon.” “How terribly interesting.” “Yes, it is, as you say, interest- ing, and as you say, it shall be terrible. Not for nothing am I Na- poleon, a Corsican, a soldier. My namesake and prototype made humble colonial wench an press; the obscure gentleman of Bordeaux whom you mentioned 0] night, made a notary’s daughter queen; Voulet, a mere captain’ would have made Tamarne an Empress, had he lived; doubtless Vauroi has raised some dusky des- ert girl to be a second queen of Sheba.” Again the eloquent speaker plac- ed his arm about Margaret's waist “Margot,” he whispered, “would you be a queen?” “I don’t think so, Major Riccoli ‘:Margaret! There was a Queen Margot, as you know. Will you be my queen?”- “I'm afraid I'm not eligible, Ma- jor Riccoli.” “Eligible? You? Margaret, You? “I, I fancy, am worthy of you. And you—are worthy of me. So beautiful, so witty, so charming, so clever—for you are a clever woman as well as a lovely one— why, you and I, Marg'ret, are a pair. Nay. We are one. Soon I shall be Riccoli the Great. You are Margaret the Beautiful. Be my queen.” Margaret rose to her feet, turned round once and sat down again, free fro mthe urgent, encircling arm. “But however beautiful I may be, and however great you are, Ma- Jjor Riccoli,” she protested, “I real- ly am not eligible. I think you met my husband at dinner.” “Husbands? Pah! What are hus- bands?” ’ “Well—er—" began Margaret. “Husbands are rather . . ." “To the devil with husbands. The man I saw at dinner may be a perfectly good Monsieur Maligni, and your husband, but I am Major Napoleon Riccoli, and your lover.” Margaret coughed slightly | “That and more, far more.” And | Major Riccoll spoke of generals, field-marshals, conquerors, dicta- tors, and of successful men who would be kings. “Husbands,” he concluded, “what are they to me—and to you?” Margaret thought of what husband was to her. “Husbands? Had not Napoleon’s Josephine a husband? Would it trouble me?” “It might trouble you Major Ric- coli. I don't know, but it might.” Major Riccoli laughed and flicked an imaginary husband into the air.

He has said some of it before, we may be quite sure. who made himself king?” “You should have heard him! And he was equally eloquent on the subject of a Captain Cauroi.” “Oho! That is really helpful, Margaret.

And something that I hope| will help you as much as,you've helped me.” 4 “God knows T want help” ‘Margaret. “S: can turn, and whom I can trust.” The man put his big hand over hers, ¢ “You can trust me,” he said, “as T trust you. Listen. I am a French officer, Colonel Le Sage, secret service, in fact; and I'm here on a very special job. “I'm telling you this because I know that wild horses wouldn't drag it out of you, and because I want to win your complete trust by giving you mine. T have lived in England, and I know your type, Margaret, both intuitively and from dbservation. As I have said, I want your help. And as I have promis- 2d, you can count on mine—abso- ‘utely. The position’s this. “The Kaid, like his father, has been a nuisance, an embarrass- ment, and a danger, to France, 2ver since she began to extend her sphere of influence and civiliza- don in this direction. Like his father, he has been a thorn in the side of the military authorifies, a constant menace, and an ever- present cloud on their horizon. “And now it's going to end. It's going to end because he has be- come an anachronism; because he presumes to hinder France's great work in Africa; because he is try- ing to bring German and Ttaly in- %o this part of the world, and turn the march of progress into a dog-fight bids fair to be a far bigger en- emy. you?” asked| said | ncone to whom I} nd that young man is nelther mad nor a megalomaniac, but he intends to be Sultan of Morocco, and that merely for a start.” (Copyright, 1932, F.
