PLAIN LOGICAL ADDRESS. Roosevelt made a char- acteristic talk to business men in Washington, D. C., yesterday that apparently made its mark. He told the assembled NRA code authorities that shorter hours would spread employment and plainly said that industry must now begin to make a move in the right direction for putting men to work and relieving the Government of this responsibility. The President brought out one especially telling point when he said: “It is worth whilc keeping to the front of our heads the thought that people whose incomes are less than $2,000 yearly buy more than two-thirds of all the goods sold in this country. It is logical that if the total amount that goes into wages to this group is steadily increased, the merchants, employers and investors will in the Jong run tct more income from the increased volume of sales. President Franklin D. TiIIEY MAKE US TIRED. It is not the green-eyed monster which leads us to say that we weary of the element of deceit in so much of radio advertising. Advertisements in the newspapers are open and aboveboard. There they are, the display advertising or the paid notices. You can read them or leave them unread. They do not force your attention by false pretenses; there is nothing surreptitious about them. . It is not as when you are hearing over the air what you suppose is talk on the pleasures of- automobiling, and suddenly it trails off into a recommendation of a brand of oil and gas. Or talk on health .that.ends-in. telling you. to use a certain kind of antiseptic. A Iot of this radio advertising reminds us of the maker of a celebrated brand of pills, We have changed his name. He offered to supply churches with hymn books free of charge, but every now and then the congregations—in the midst of their musical devotions—were startled by such verses as these: Hark the herald angels sing | Johnson’s Pills are just the thing Pe: on earth and mercy mild Two for adult, one for child And that is just about what a lot of radio advertisers are doing. | a a PRESIDENT’S WIFE GOES FLYI X, | Mrs. Franklin D.

(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) The halibut fleet off to sea whalers in the crow's nest of bobbing steamers in icy waters— salmon cannery workers rustling their dunnage for their trip into the North—Indians off shore in frail canoes with primitive weapons to pursue the seal herd— These are infallible signs of spring in the North | Pacific. Regardless of the temperature, regardless of sunny or murky skies, whether or not flowers are blooming out of season, Neptune's call heralds the advent of the new season, Elsewhere crops may be advanced or retarded by unseasonable weather; men stir in response to the fickle sun’s rays. But the season in the North Pacific comes with implacable certainty— When the seal herd joyfully plunge into the sea to breast the currents northward they set in motion a train of movement ashore. ] New CWA Work. (Anchorage Times.) The Civil Works Administration is doing right thing by Alaska, and doing it speedily. The Third Division is justly sharing in the big move- ment, and the second relay of the winter work under the movement begins today. The Government is to be commended for this practical way of meeting the emergency on behalf of the needy of the Territory. Not only are those who need being taken care of, but the various com- munities are receiving lasting benefits. There may be some criticism of details of administration and also of the broader poticy —of providing work which eventually must be paid Im‘ by some form of taxation. But it is to be re- '‘membered an emergency exists in.the nation. The | people to a vast degree are without and cannot | obtain shelter or food if not provided through such | a channel as the CWA. It is eithersthis or chaos or something worse that would strike at the founda- tion of government. The CWA work in Alaska umntil spring and summer definite and larger launched.

Her heart seemed a pulsing machine that hurt as it throbbed. The thudding of the temple drum continued. She was scarcely con- scious that she was led out into the open. She noted curiously as she passed through the small door cut in the other wall that the jaguars were no longer there. People were hurrying across the great open central plaza toward the pyramid. She saw a procession of priests: and guards approaching from the eastern 2nd of the plaza. Her own column of women was aug- tsmile, a smile of encou her a brief ment she thought, but piteous in i fmpo- terice.

His tace was pale—if a shade lighter than the usual mahog- any color could be cailed pallor. His lips were grim under the beaked nose. They examined the grouped caval- ing upon Langten and the girl caused his eyes to gieam in fanatic approval at what they observed. He raised his hand. the flat thud of the drum increased its tempo. The columns stirred into action. A murmur, like that of spreading fire in a sun-dried savan- nah, arose in the steamy air. The throngs about the pyramid and the cenote cliffs were antici- pating their perfocrmance. The stage was set;—the drama ready to be played. The prologue was done with; now the ceremony of the sac- rifice was about to begin. Janice thought of the bravery of Horatio Greene in a similar situa- tion not long before. Would she be equal to the ordeal, she wondered! Would Billy?
