REPEAL THIS WEEK. should witness the exit of legalistic m the Alaska scene. The provision vesting the Governor of Alaska with pardoning power over persons heretofore convicted under the Dry laws, which was held to invalidate the repealer and for on President Roosevelt withheld his signatu been eliminated and the measure now awaits the return of the President to Wash- ington for his signature. Heé has indicated he will sign it in its latest form. Possibly several days will elapse after it becomes ¢ before Alaskans can have legal liquor. No legal pments can be made until it does become law and that of course means some slight delay in the arrival here of supplies from legal stocks in the States. Another provision of the measure prohibits the ufacture, sale, barter and possession until authority shall have been granted by the Board of Liquor Control. Therefore, until the Board pro- mulgates its regulations and fixes dates for their effectiveness any sale, or even possession, will be illegal. At the most, however, the delay will be slight. In view of that fact, all of us, dealers and patrons, should be patient and not attempt to “rush the season.” Let's wait until we can sell, or buy, and possess it under the law. Millions of Americans, including a proportionate share of Alaskans, for many years have felt it to be smart to violate the Prohibition lzvs, to sell and buy and use liquor that everyone knew was sold and bought illegally. Now we are getting a “new deal.” Let's make it just as “smart to legally drink legal liquor.” In s0 doing we can do what all"the ‘lawsiand regulations ever passed and attempted to be en- forced have failed to do—we can break up boot- legging and all of its attendant evils. This week Prohibition fr f which HAVE A GOOD GRUBSTAKE. Couiner, the unusually heavy passenger traffic on -tcumers leaving Seattle for Alaska, the Seattle Timnes declares: So lar this Spring every northbound Alaska steamship has had a capacity pas- senger list. The high price of virgin gold is the answer. Most of the voyagers are “going in” to prospect and to mine. Many will find work for themselves in the older and better-known areas that have been yielding gold for many years. Others are venturing hopefully into new fields; and since everyone knows that Alaska still has vast mineral wealth untouched, there is good reason to expect new “discoveries.” Those who come north to prospect ought to either be supplied with sufficient funds to finance their efforts, or have assurance of an adequate grubstake upon arrival. It isn't necessary to caution ‘soughdoughs” to that effect. They are experienced enough in the ways of the north to not need it. It is the “cheechako” who needs the warning. He may be just as good a prospector as the next man, but without funds he isn't going to get to where he can prospect. If he comes in large numbers. he is going to aggravate local relief problems and become 2 liability instead of an asset to the Territory. Gold and anything connected with its produc- tion right now is good for publieity stories. These attract wide notice, particularly to Alaska. The Times, and other Seattle newspapers, as an evidence of their friendly attitude toward the Territory, could well afford to caution the ignorant and unthinking against venturing on a search for it in the Northland without adequate funds or credit. THE SUN COMES BACK. The sun has come back to us. For more than |two weeks now it has been on its northward | journey from the equator and for the next three ‘momhs it will shine more and more genially |until it reaches the Tropic of Cancer. Even then |it will be strong for at least two months. The ancients knew all about it. Indeed, the first real learning in ‘the world was the lore of the {stars and the heavenly bodies. In Europe centuries ago they rejoiced at this time of the year and the old men repeated the proverb: When the sun was {in Capricorn the snow would fall, but when it was in Cancer the flowers would bloom. While we are far north here, soon the flowers will be blooming. Already buds are showing on hardy plants in the out-of-doors. Even days of untoward chilliness, with Nature attempting to bedeck us again with unseasonal snowflakes, have not been able to dis- courage them. Always at this time of the year we are im- patient with anything that reminds us of the winter just passed. We long for brighter, sunnier days. It is a great thing for the sun to cross the mountains and stay on our side of the earth. | The equator and tropics are imaginary lines. However, they are very real. In Mexico, some 200 miles north of the City of Mexico, a monument has been erected to the Tropic of Cancer. It stands by the side of a railroad, and train conductors tell passengers to be sure and see it. On its northern face the inscription reads that “This is the Tem- perate Zone” and on the southern face that “This is the Tropic Zone.” To people of Mexico with their balmy climate, these zones mean little. The forward and backward movement of the sun is not of great moment. But the people of Alaska rejoice to know that the sun has come back and soon the snow and ice will melt and the earth will be green and fruitful. While the big league baseball managers's predic- tions are not so dependable as the percentage columns along toward the end of September, remem- ber at least two of them are going to bat a thousand per cent. If a nation hasn't got something hidden up its sleeve what's the use of getting all worked up over & spy scare? Politics as a Career. (Cineinnati Enquirer.) It is well worth noting that among the recruits to Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia’s personnel are a number of wealthy young men who a few years ‘ago would have spurned political employment as something quite disgraceful. Alexander Hamilton, a descendant of the original Treasury Secretary, is in an obscure office under the Commissioner of Mar- kets. -Alan Stuyvesant, from an old Dutch famlly, is Secretary to the Police Commissioner. Winston Guest has left off playing polo to be a legal adviser to one of New York's Aldermen. A grandson of Thomas F. Ryan, the copper multimillionaire, is a Secretary to Mayor LaGuardia. The enthusiasm of these and other aristocratic additions to the personnel of New York’s City Hall may wane with the months and years. Some of them will change their ideas about politics as a permanent career. But the change of attitude im- plicit in their joining up with LaGuardia is of some significance. It is the more so since recent recruits to the administrative departments in Wash- ington have come increasingly from the ranks of those who formerly looked down on politics. It is not desirable that the “unfair competi- tion” of wealthy youth should drive down salaries in political life and thereby make the better posts in public service unattractive to men without inde- pendent means. But it is desirable that more of our well-educated and talented young men should enter politics with the intention of making it the work of a lifetime. . True, they bring with them some of the prejudices of their rarified economic stratum. But the art of government is more than a vehicle for economic ideas. It is the continuous study of the process of social compromise, and the making of decisions to solve immediate problems. Rich or poor, those who enter politics can render a distinguished service to their fellow citizens if they come to regard their work as a dignified calling, as an end in itself, and not simply an easy livelihood if young or a reward of wealth if older. If sea serpents continue to increase, a code for them may have to be adopted.—(Indianapolis News.)

Jim Bottomley, Chick Hafey and Ernie Lombardi will give us a real clean up wallop when we need it. I am counting on a come-back by Dazzy Vance to help such good pitchers as Larry Benton, Paul Deringer and Si Johnson. Dazzy is working hard and will start the season in better shape than he has been in for years. If he does not win more than 10 games, the number Lucas mark- ed up last year, I will be sorely disappointed. I have at least a dozen other pitchers from whom to pick the resi of the staff. The best looking rookie prospect now is Hollingsworth, a left-hander. ‘We have more than 50 players in camp, among whom we expect to find some real material for 1935 and 1936. There's Beattie Feathers the great Tennessee football play- er, who should make a big league outfielder as soon as he gets enough experience. Lee Griscom, a perienced men like Burt Shotton, manager of the Phillies for the last few years, Val Picinch, the former catcher, and Bobby Wal- lace, who also does scouting work. Personally, I doubt if the Giants will get enough breaks to repeat their wonderful 1933 performance. They will miss not having Gus Mancuso in top form at the star: and it would surprise me if all their pitchers have another good season together. Of course, they figure to have the edge in the dope but I look for the Cubs, Cardinals, Pirates and Braves to make it a real race, with Cincinnati and Philadelphia making some trouble for all of them. Brooklyn does not appear to be dangerous, al- though Casey Stengel will have his club fighting all the way. sl Ul R i Over-Sleeping Probably Reason Miner Is Alive i CENTRALIA, Wash., April 9—The fact that James Greg- ory, a coal miner, oversle| probably saved his life.

Judith Lane by JEANNE BOWMAN SYNOPSIS: Judith Dale Nas scen Norman, her husband, having dinner with Mathile Bevins. Judith resents his quilelessness, because Mathile and her mother are trying to breal the will, under which Big Tom Bevins has left his fortune to Judith, to be used to complete the Rio Diablo Dam, and Norman's law partner, Mortn Lampere, is d ing the fight fr the Bevins heirs, Norman is in a difficult situation. Chapter 24 NORMAN’'S DEMAND “ JUDITH .. . I think you forget my firm represents the Bev- ins—" “Forget it,” Judith’s laugh was hysterical, “I'd like to . . . oh, how I'd like to. But with Lampere treat- ing me like an unmentionable and you dancing attendance on those two women like a legal gigolo—" “You've gone far enough Judith. 1 hadn’t meant to make this Bevins fortune an issue between us, but you're forcing me to it. They warned me you would. I'm beginning to be- lieve they know you better than I do. “I'm leaving for Galveston again. I'll have to fly back to make court, I had hoped to take you with me, but under the circumstances I think you'd better stay and think things over. Talking only brings on trouble. “This Bevins affair will blow over and then you and 1 can settle back into our normal way of living.” “Norman,” Judith sat up in bed, alert, “what do you mean, the Bev- ins affair will blow over?” “You'll see.” Judith sensed that he knew some- thing more than he was admitting. “But suppose it doesn’t?” she coun tered. “It will.” i Judith jumped out of bed, show- ered and dressed while Delphy pre- pared a tray for them. Under the stinging flay of water, Judith prom- ised she would take Clia’s advice and wait until Norman had had his coffee, before, as Clia, would say, “starting anything.” She did wait. With breakfast over and Norman glancing at his watch, she spoke. “Norman, I want you to tell me| now, what you meant by saying the Bevins affair would blow over.” “I...1can't” “Alright, then, tell me this. If it doesn’t blow over, what will be your attitude?” Normar glanced at her, dark eyes unrelenting, lips in a thin, stern line—*“I shall have to ask you either to give up the Bevins money, or me.” Prepared as she was, Judith couldn’t repress a start as he said this, There was no comfort in the knowledge that the man who spoke was some grim-visaged stranger whom she’'d never before seen. Nor did it comfort Judith any to know she had behaved like a fish wile, using Mathile as an issue while she was only a “barb in the flesh.” “Norman,” her eyes begged for understanding, though her voice was cool. “I want to apologize for what I said about you and Mathile. 1 was jealous and hurt. Slim San- ford flew me down so I could be there in time for dinner with you, then I found you were all ready through and she was with you. “I truly believe it happened as you say it did, only, that’s it . . . just as 1 said that night on board the trawler . .. we don’t think alike. You thought more of acting the gentleman than you did of how your public meeting with Mathile would hurt me. The realization that she probably planned the whole thing doesn’t make me any the less bitter.” “Y{70U mean she connived with my mother?” he began heatedly. “No indeed,” said Judith, “your mother is, above all, sporting. She wouldn’t play that way. She was probably so intent upon her tourna- ment she wasn't aware that you and Teel were two of the three prin- cipals in the Bevins case.” A rare smile crossed Norman’s face— “I'm glad you see that,” he said, “she really likes you a lot, Jude.” He looked at his watch— “I wish 1 didn’t have to go, but then,” his face had brightened, “by the time I get back we can start fresh and Mathile won't have any further call on me.” “Norm,” Judith stepped close, “I'm leaving too, I'm making a trip to the dam, leaving this evening.” “Judy ... Judy you can’t do that, I tell you. Not now, not at this time.” “But it's a good time to go, Nor- man, you'll be away—" His arms were holding her tight, a desperate tensity in them— “Ju. dith, remember the night I said that all one needed to make a perfect marriage was enough love? Haven't you enough love to give this up for me?” \nd, Normy, 1 asked you how much was enough? Have you | enough to go against your principles for me?” “Judith.” he pointed out of the window to where an ink-black cloud was sweeping down from the north, “I have to go, there’s a storm com- ing in and I can’t be late for court. Now dear, try to be sensible. You're all wrought up over things, go on back to bed, have a good rest, then wake up and read or go to a show—"" Norman, you don’t understand, I'm leaving for the dam tonight. I must go.” “l1 see,” his arms dropped away from her. He put on a light over- coat. picked up his briet case and bis hat. “It’s up to you Judy. Take your choice. If you think more ot your childish belief that no one else can build a dam, than you do of me . .. all right. Goodbye.” He kissed her lightly and left. Judith raced to the window. She couldn’t bear to have him go like this . . . suppose the storm overtook him, his car skidded on the wet pavement and he'd never know how much she loved him .. . she wouldn't go to the dam. Big Tom had asked more than was humanly possible for any woman to give . .. she would stay and help him carry on. IGHTNING flashed across the sky, thunder rumbled and dark- ness closed down. Judith tried to follow in her imagination the race of the little coupe against the storm, and then before her mind's eye came a picture of the storm at the dam; the horror of it, the heart- breaking devastation which lay in its wake . . . the liftle crumpling houses swept away from the banks and the heart broken resignation of the men who had built them. Even if Norman were right and she wasn't necessary for the safe erection of Diablo dam, had she the right to leave it to chance? The shrilling of the telephone ment. Neither Lige nor Delphy would touch anything electrical during a storm. “This is Mrs. Dale speaking,” she said, “Oh yes, Judge Morgan . . . oh . oh.” She sat down suddenly, “yes I'll be down right away, thank you for calling.” She hung the receiver back on its hook, carefully, replaced the tele- phone and looked out on the rain washed terrace. Morton Lampere had been granted an injunction against her use of the Bevins money until he could contest Tom Bevins' wil, and a decision be handed down. She had expected it. Her shock came from the realization that Nor- mgn had kpown it and- left her to face it without forewarning her. At least it made her decision more eas- ily reached. She went to her room, dressed and finding the storm quiet- ing, called Lige to bring around the small truck they had bought in pref- erence to a car for her. He drove her to the end of the nearest street car line and by the time she reached Judge Morgan's office, she had outlined the path she would follow. One of Mrs. Nathalie Bevins' first actions after finding she owned the Bevins building, had been to ask the newly organized Bevins Construc- tion Company to move. Big Tom, {owning the building, had never con- sidered a lease necessary, and re- gardless of Judge Morgan’s inter- vention, she was able to demand their eviction. It was one of the innumerable lit- | tleness such as Big Tom had had to | contend against throughout his mar- | ried life. He did contend with them, Judith remembered with a thrill, and somehow they hgd cost him nothing more serious than worry. But Judith knew that the worry |had had its part in wearing down | the engineer; now his own company | was driven from his own building. Judith had not waited for the end of their time of tenure. Afraid of having company papers inspected, during their absence, she had moved to temporary guarters in an office adjoining Judge Morgan’s. Upon reaching there she found the judge in consultation with Jus- tin Cunard— *“You musn't worry over this, Mrs. Dale,” he hastened | to say when he caught sight of her ace. “I'm nof pected it.” The two men exchanged quick glances of understanding, “As for money,” said Cunard, “remember 1 have a couple of producing oil wells at Longview and I can turn them over to the Rio Diablo project at any time. .. the proceeds, I mean.” “Thank you,” said Judith, then with sudden thought, “are they go- ing to allow me to go on with the building?” (@opyright, 1934, by Jeanne Bowman) Judith pr_epnes tomorrow, for Lampere’s trickery.
