ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARaERl THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NOTABLE VISITORS. Alaskans, generally, will be delighted if Fisheries| o Commissioner Frank T. Bell can to the Territory next Summer Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, and Senators Joseph T. Rebinson and C. C. Dill. News reports to The Empire recently said Commissioner Bell is making plans for the trip and the three officials are ex- pected to make it with him. Secretary Roper's Department is largely inter- ested in administration of certain activities in Alaska. With the Department of Interior and the Department of Agriculture it controls most nfi Alaska's natural resources. Under it are the Bureau of Fisheries, absolute in authority over our fisheries resources, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Lighthouse Service, Bureau of Navigation and Steam- boat Inspection, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the Aeronautics Branch, and the Bureau of Census, all of which play important parts in Alaskan affairs. A first hand view, even though more or less casual, of them, of their activities in the Territory could not help but be of material benefit to both the Territory and the Federal Gov- ernment. Senator Robinson visited Alaska some 15 years ago, going as far as Fairbanks. At that time he was a member of the minority party. Today he is leader of the Democratic majority in the Senate, all powerful, the mouthpiece of President Roosevelt in the Chamber. He is also a member of the Senate Committee on Territories and Insular Affairs which handles practically all legislation affecting Alaska. Senator Dill, also, is not a stranger to Alaska and Alaskans. He has visited in Juneau and personally is known to many Alaskans. ‘Wash- ington State's senior Senator, he has taken a keen and intelligent interest in Alaskan legislation in Congress, in our problems, and has willingly given assistance to Delegate Dimond as the need has arisen. He is a member of the Judiciary Com- mittee, before which Federal appointments come for consideration, and on the Public Lands and Surveys Committee. A trip to Pribilof Islands would bring home to them as no amount of reading or study of maps could do, the vast reaches of Alaska's coast- line, the diversity of its industries, transportation difficulties and other problems inherent to devel- opment of this last of the nation's frontiers. U. S. SEIZES SOOTHING SIRUP WITH HABIT-FORMING DRUGS. Mothers do mnot dose their babies and young children with soothing sirups so commonly as they cnce did. Continued enforcement of the Federal Food and Drugs Act has had a marked effect in removing such merchandise from interstate sale. But the Federal Food and Drug Administration is cbliged to continue surveillance of such medicinal products, which occasionally contain habit-forming drugs, including cocaine and morphine. Dr. F. J. Cullen cites as an example of recent action by the Adminnstration the seizure of several hundred bottles of a soothing sirup containing mor- phine. The misbranded product was shipped by 2 Lowell, Mass., concern, to consignees in Providence, R. 1. Federal inspectors learned that mothers of small children, obliged to work in factories, gave the compound to their children in the morping before going to work and again at noon. The object was to keep the children quiet while the mothers were at work. Children are particularly susceptible to opiates. The small dosages of this compound administered apparently had the effect of keeping them quiet. But such use may have disastrous results. The manufacturer of the product complied with the food and drug law in declaring that the medicine con- tained morphine, but this declaration was incon- spicuously printed. The compound -was ‘additionally misbranded in that there was a variation from the declared composition with regard to morphine content. The sirup was also misbranded with false and fraudulent curative claims for ailments of children. It was quite common some years ago, says Dr. Cullen, to give children such soothing sirups as paregoric and medicinal products containing habit- forming drugs, including morphine. These medi- cines, it is true, had a soothing effect, but there was always the danger that they would mask the symptoms of serious conditions which might be presenf. A simple home remedy having laxative of carminative action usually gives relief from colic and will not prevent the recognition of a grave illness, such as appendicitis. EXPLAINING A SEEMING INCONSISTENCY. 4 The Roosevelt Administration has been charged with inconsistentcy in its crop reduction policy and its fight to control insect and other pests that in themselves are nature's way of, cutting down agri- cultural production. The Government pays with one hand wheat, cotton and other producers to let land bring with himjcovers a wide range of activities during 1933. fight the boll weevil, the corn borer, grasshoppers and other insects and plant diseases to- increase | vields. “Why not let the insects and diseases re- duce the crops?” is a question often asked. The answer given in respect to cotton was re- cently set out by the Department of Agriculture, and it applies to other crops. In the first place, the Department's entomologists reply, crop destruction by insects means a total loss of the time and money the farmer has spent in planting and cultivating hig cotton. No farmer can afford such a sacrifice tof time, effort and money. In the second place, the entomologists continue, insects cannot be depended on to destroy the cotton surplus in an orderly manner. Left to their own devices, the boll weevil and other serious pests might destroy all of one farmer's planting or all of the cotton in one sec- tion, leaving other plantings and other sections prac- tically untouched. The cotton acreage reduction program is designed not only to reduce the number tof bales produced, but to control production so that every farmer may expect to make a fair profit on his crop. Thus is necessary to control bath production and insects. N it One of the objections that cldtimers rightfully have to State liquor dispensaries is the failure of the State to provide free lunch counters in them Now that we know that Dr. Wirt was entirely in error about that forthcoming revolution, what ! will the professional alarmists use as a bugaboo? Work for Peace. (New York Times.) The annual report of the Carnegie Endowment International Peace, published . this morning, In the foreword by President Butler, the director, there is inevitably a note of disappointment when he writes in a brief survey of the whole international situation. He has to recount not only the fact that the nations are spending, or are preparing to spend, greater sums than ever upon armaments, but also the intensifying of the nationalist spirit everywhere. This shows itself in the form of trade jealousies and tariff barriers and unwillingness to take any risks in the cause of peace. Reference is made to the speech of President Roosevelt last December, urging, among other things, that the nations agree never to permit any of their armed forces to cross their own borders into the territory of another nation. To this “truly clarion call,” as the director describes it, “the response from other lands was entirely polite, but as yet nothing more has happened.” In like manner it has been im- possible to induce the nations which have signed the Briand-Kellogg treaty to agree to enlarge and strengthen it by undertaking to move unitedly against any country that violates it. Evidently there will be necessary, before any such international guarantee is universally made binding, that educa- tion and persuasion should be widely attempted all over the world. This is precisely the work which the Carnegic Endowment undertakes to do. In the pages of its latest annual report the reader will find how far- flung are its activities and agencies. By the for- mation of societies of every kind in every land, by public meetings, by the distribution of litera- ture, by specialized libraries, by gifts of books and periodicals and pamphlets to schools, by cor- respondence: and journeys and personal contacts, the endeavor is comprehensive and unflagging. It can- not be all in vain. Despite temporary setbacks and discouragements, the evidence is that more men and women in many countries are learning to think internationally. Though it be true that, during 1933, economic nationalism had been, as T. Butler de- clares, “running riot,” there is stil. reason to be- lieve that this attempt to turn back the progress of eivilization can be checked. It surely will be if peoples and governments can be brought to see clearly that there is no great national question today which does not have its international aspects. War On Organized Crime. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) There could be few things of greater importance to enlist the attention of the Administration than the crime situation. It is encouraging to know that Congress appears to appreciate the seriousness of the situation, and is ready to act in harmony with the suggestions of Attorney-General Cummings. The Attorney-General, without qualification, al- leges that there “are more armed men in the underworld than in the army and navy combined.” The Attorney-General is seeking to place the Fed- eral Government at the service of the States and communities—to organize a cooperation that will serve effectively to crush organized crime in the United States. Intrastate policing is ineffective, and he has sent to the Senate and the House a dozen or more bills designed to crush the forces oof crime, The Attorney-General would make the Federal Government, without infringing upon the sovereign rights of the States. If the bills are enacted into law, the criminal would be deprived of advantages he now posseses—the kidnaper and the racketeer, along with many other kinds of to escape punishment by fleeing from one State to another. Among these legislative measures are bills to: Make it a Federal offense to flee across the State lines to avoid prosecution for a felony. Make racketeering a Federal crime if as much as $5,000 is involved. Amend the Lindbergh act to penalize interstate kidnaping of any kind, not just when ransom is involved. Provide for registration and taxation of machine guns made and sold, with fingerprinting of pur- chasers, to assure a complete check. Permit States to enter into compacts for deal- ing with criminals crossing their joint borders. There should be little difficulty in working out practical plans to make this legislation all that law-abiding citizens could desire it to be.

Sad- dened by the knowledge that Nor- man is seeing too much of Mathile Bevins Judith flies to Mexico for a wight at a native cafe with Slim Sanford and Justin Cunard. There she sees one of the Bevins spies, J. O, Scathborne. Chapter 32 g NEW TRICK “QLIM,” Judith leaned across the table, “help me out of here pronto, before that couple there, the girl in red dancing with the gringo, gets back.” = Sanford asked no _questions. Quickly, his height shielding her, he helped her through the crowds, through the maze of tables where slightly ribald couples from the | States sang an anglicized version of “Celito Lindo.” Outside, protected from curions eyes by an ell of the building, she explained, ‘That man is Scathborne, one of Morton Lampere's urder- cover men.” “Do you think he saw you?” asked. “No, I'm sure he wouldn’t have 1i.ked my sc it he had seen and recogn What I'm wondering is wh doing in this part of the ¢ Slim, how far are we frcm “Not far.

Scathborne has been over here hiring Mexican' la- bor. I talked to one of the men he hired. He said he was going to work on a dam northwest of Laredo. “Miss Judith, I believe we have work cut ovt for us. I think Mg ton Lampere has started some thing.” “Do you think Scathborne saw ei ther one of us?” “I'm sure he didn't. Slim, it's two o'clock now. Can we Iciter some place and go back about day break? I want to look that Diablo valley over again ... I've a hunch. “And, Miss Judith, if you can snatch a little s'eep I'd advise you to. I'm going to want a stenogra. pher whom I can trust.” Judith was sure she couldn’t sleep. She curled into the nest of coats Slim made for her in the ship's cab- in, eyes wide, watching the stars zip pa-* the cabin windows as the plane started its homeward flight. And then she sat up. She had slept. She was tired, stiff from her cramped position. Slim. his head cocked slightly towards Cunard, who sat beside him, was i tent upon his work. Cunard was looking over the side. Now they were banking, JL‘DITH peered out of the window In the sun flushed basin below tiny pygmies were running about. A few tents, one new and white, the others small and khaki colored, almost invisible on the brown field grass, were clustered about a fork of the upper Rio Diablo. She sat protestingly erect. Lam- pere couldn’t do that; he couldn’t build a dam there and intercept the flow of the river or divert it. There | was such a thing as riparian rights. The ship had banked around, straightened out, and they wore fly- ing due east. Half an hour later tley had circled their own small field and bad landed. “Miss Judith, can you take a cat nap, have breakfast and he ready to take dictation at nine o’clock? Slim will rest up and be ready to fly back with the letters and reports I have in mind.” Judith was sure she couldn't, but she didn’t admi: it. She was tired, much tod'tired to think of Lampere, the dam or even Slim. The glamor of the previous evening had been dispelled with the dawn, she wanted a warm bath and a soft bed, even a Judith Lane by JEANNE BOWMAN . { vexdy to retire when the whistle of | the incoming train made her hesi- cup of Delphy’s chocolate. She re- ceived all three when she reached the house. “Delphy,” whispered Judith dream- ily, “having you makes me a million- aire stenographer. Call me at eight forty-five.” Eight forty-five came much too soon, but Judith was refreshed by her rest and ready to tackle the problem before her with an alert mind. ! “I believe Lampere is behind this and doing it not for the purpose of building a dam, but of annoying us,” said she to Cunard. | “With what little influence I have in Washington, Austin and other governmental - way-points we can check him immediately,” confirmed Cunard. “Let them go out of San Antonio, Slim,” said Cunard-later as Le hand- eJ him the barrrage of appeals to governmental authorities. “I don’t want to have eny word of what we're doing leak out to anyone of Lampere's crowd.” With Cunard she went to the field when Slim took off, winging into the then, feeling queerly de- d, returned to her house, the engineer walk'ng with her to the porch. “Queer young fellow,” he re- marked, seating himself on the tiny porch and lighting a cigar; “had a ice to go with an expedition 1d for some obscure point off nland and preferred staying d Houston, running errands Of course, Miss Judith, he's iluable to us, so we won't pro- Zlo, of course mnot,” agreed Ju- :d wondered if Cunard noticed Wic fiush burn up into her cheeks. i evening mail brought fresh consternation to Judith. She was tate Ste chided herself for being as | foolizh as some love lorn girl who vaiched the advent of the mail car ti.r as the climax of each day. Nor- man wouldn’t write again so soon. H.'C find noihing to say. But the messenger who delivered mail in the camy at Big Tom Town brought ber a sheaf of letters and au.ong them one from Norman. , Judith opened it without iooking at the others, her glance taking in the contents of the page before she Ifad paused actually to read it. Dear Judith: 1 believe 1 ex- plained, I'd put all of my savings into Hillendale, first for the prop- erty d then the initial cost of building I hate like the dickens to give it Jup, but under the circumstances fiad it too expensive for me to live there alone. I'm going to be away ost of the summer so will have o dispose of it in some way and am writing to ask you if_there is anything in it you would like to have . .. furniture, paintings, rugs, drapes or things of that nature, Also, what would you like to have me do with your clothes and per- sonal belongings. Mother would look after them but she scarcely Bas room in her little apartment and I'm not sure that it would be safe to leave them here. Clia tells me Slim is acting as a courier for your company. lsn't that a lowly position for an inter- national hero? Do you see much of him? I hope you are feeling well. Ac- cording to the letters Lige has been receiving, you're getting along as “well as cud be suspected” and I do feel much less anxiety about your physical well being with Delphy there looking after you 1_certainly miss you, Judith, you'll never know what these past tew weeks have done to me. Tet me hear from you as soon as convenient. Love. NORMAN. Judith dropped the letter. This was the end. “Too expensive to live there alone.” Why should it be more expensive alone than with her? It simply meant that he was ready tc quit. She had made her choice when she left the house to come tc the dam, and he had accepted it as such in spite of his protestation of love. Dispose of Hillendale. She felt | a 'moment’s frantic desire to rush back and protect it from the inva: sion of strangers. It was as if the heuse and grounds were a li/ing en- tity for which she was responsible. They might mar the walls, the floor, tear up the garden. She must write Lige and see that he made out a complete chart of the garden, so they wouldn’t uproot perennials she had planted in the fall. At least, and there was consola- tion in this thought, at ieast he wasn't keeping it for Mathile. She picked up the letter again. “Love. Norman.” How could he sign himself in such a manner after writing a letter like that? And yet he said he felt less anxiety with Delphy there to look after her and showed a feminine curiosity about Slim, Could it be he was jealous? She went to her desk. She was rvady now to write an answer. (Copyright, 1934, by Jeanne Bowman) Judith solves another problem, tomorrow, George Bros. NEW ARRIVALS TODAY WATCH FOR ANNOUNCEMENT! [ ] LEADER DEPT.
