The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to tb use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein. ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGE! THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. HELP THE “ARMY” HELP US. | In every time of stress, local or national, when men and women need a helping hand to stay the tides of adversity, whether it be physical succor | or spiritual consolation and guidance, one great organization has always played its part without any reservation. That organization is the Salvation Army Behind the battle lines of France and Belgium it proved its caliber, as countless thousands of Amer- ican veterans of the World War never tire of testi- fying. Yet as worthy as was its great work there, it was not moré so than its daily undertakings, in the slums of great cities as well as in the frontier towns of the great north and northwest. By it all mean aud ali women are received with equal welcome and hearty goodfellowship. It makes no distinction between races, colors or creeds. It is not supported by trust funds or founda- tions, it (epends upon the average man -and woman for its finances which are truly a “community chest” to be used for the relief of all the needy, the dis- tressed and afflicted. It gives of them with the same liberality that is uses in spreading the doctrine of salvation. It recognizes the necessity for satisfy- ing the hunger of the body as well as the hunger of the soul. And it ministers earnestly to both. Yesterday the local Salvation Army officers, aided by Staff Capt” Acton, launched the organiza- tion’s annual drive for funds to carry on its work here for the coming years. It seeks the entirely| modest sum of $1,000. The goal is well within reason. It is unusually small compared to the| services it will render. That is because it does not measure its service by the dollar, or any other monetary unit. The record of its work in this com- munity'since it was established, and especially dux'-( ing the past three years is written so indelibly into the pattern of its daily life that it would be super-| fluous to recall it here. It has been one of the! most effective agencies in combatting want and maintaining the morale of all of us in that trying | period. It could not have done so well or so much | if it had not received the community’s financial support. It is entitled to it again and surely will| not fail to receive the modicum of cash it has set| up in its budget. | ] A TRIBUTE TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. One of the finest tributes to be paid to the As-! sociated Press, which furnishes all of the daily news- papers in Alaska with their telegraph news service, | comes from the office of Delegate Dimond in ‘Washington. Ever since the Defegate assumed omce,' each week his Secretary, Bob Bartlett, has written a weekly news letter for all of the Alaska papers.| In this manner Alaskans have been kept informed | on all that the Delegate has done and is nn.emptmg“ to do. To the latest of these news letters an introductory | note was attached saying: | So thorough is the coverage now given Alaska news originating in the capital by the Associated Press that this news letter | the surveys covered the nation’s newspapers. | show larger circulation and steadily increased adver- ,are continuous. will still be sent out from time to time when there is occasion for more detailed explanation than the w:re service can give. The Associated Press has given and is giving the best service in history on Alaska news, especially that part of it which is based on events transpiring in Washington. It hasn't missed a single bet that we can recall. Its service has been full enough to give all essential details and is living up in all respects to that organization’s unsurpassed reputation for accuracy. So close has been its cover- age since Congress convened that from each of the Delegate’s weekly news letters received since then, many items contained therein were eliminated by The Empire to avoid repetition. In few instances, and then only in regard to matters of lesser import- ance, was it even necessary to run explanatory details submilted in the mail correspondence. THE IMPETUS GROW 5 Every week industriai, pusiness and employment reviews show that the econmic conditions of the country are making steady headway. The latest of These tising beginning several months ago. These gains No more significant indication of the progress being made has yet been revealed. Of course, the basis for this is increased employ- ment, larger payrolls and returning confidence. Some of the country’s leading industrialists contend that | employment figures are going to show startling gamsl in the next month or two. Reports on employment usually are late because of the difficulty in getting the statistics. The Deparment of Commerce gave some indication of the trend in its report for February. Payrolls showed the largest advance for any one month in 15 years, and factory employment jumped six per cent. The average weekly wage at $19.81 came within 4.1 cents of February, 1929. In some industrial centers there has been reported a shortage in some classes of skilled labor. Scientists are offering their aid in crime detec- tion. Since crime is now reduced to a science why shouldn’t they? It wouldn’t be exactly setting a thief to catch a thief, but just one scientist to catching another. The largest opening-day crowds in three years signalized the opening day of major league base- ball. Just another sign that we are “On Our Way.” Col. Theodore Roosevelt (Teddy, the Little), in- stalled as President of the National Republican Club, achieves first page position not because he attacked President Roosevelt's policies and administration, but because he is the President's cousin. Editor Smitn Resigns. (New York Times.) The letters exchanged between ex-Governor Smith and the proprietor of The New Outlook do little to satisfy those who are naturally curious why the former suddenly broke off his editorship. Few editors, it is unhappily true, are in a position to give, as Mr. Smith did, the pressure of large private interests as a reason for reslgning, But his aband- onment of the editorial fraternity, like his joining it more than a year ago, is certain to lead to com- ment and even gossip. His friends gjve privately what is probably the true explanation. The former Governor has always been a “regular” Democrat. He did not support his party's ticket in the city election last November, but he did not oppose it. Yet he seems 1o have begun to fear that his free and bold writing in the magazine, involving as it oc- casionally has done rather severe criticism of some of the acts of the Roosevelt Administration, might lead people to think that he was becoming luke- warm in the party faith, or possibly ready to break with Democratic leadership as it exists. Conse- quently, it is surmised, he resolved to dissipate any suspicion that he intended to set himself up as a political free lance. His motive would be partly his own personal comfort, and perhaps also a lingering thought that his party might again some day call upon him to stand for important office. Without acceptirg rumors of this kind for more than they are worth, members of the profession who hailed Mr. Smith as he adopted it will be inclined to lament his departure. In the brief period of his editorial service he made a distinct place for him- self. The writings to which he put his name were characteristic of the man. They were clear, vigorous and sincere. It is to be hoped that this form of his public activity may remain with him as a pleasant souvenir. Certainly it can never be said that he is another illustration of the definition of Jjournalism once given by J. M. Barrie. He observed that it is a form of literature which confers dis- is no longer to be issued weekly. However, it tinction on a man after he has given it up. had at any price!

HEATING PHONE 34 SHEET METAL Judith Lane by JEANNE _BOWMAN | SYNOPSIS: Judith Dale’s fight to build the Rio Diablo dam with the 5 million dollars Big Tom Reving left in his will for the pur- nose has been complicated by the discovery that Morton Lampere, altorney for the Bevins heirs in a suit to break the will, has begun musierioua activitics kioher up the siver.

Chapter 33 THE ANSWER UDITH DALL wrote ar answer to husband’s letter at top speed, raced down the hill to the Big Tom post-office and mailed it before cho had time to change her mind. Ia bad she tried to remember cer: tain portions of her answer. She had written, “I'd as soon consider cutting the house into small bits and keeping those parts as I would taking part of the furnishings for myself. Hillendale is an entity. To have a part of it would only remind rc of what 1 have lost.” NMaybe seeing him with Mathilde would cure her of her obsession, for surely a love which could call forth the acute emotional agony she was suffering was an obsession. She turned her face ‘nto .he pil- lows and tried to muffle the sobs which shook her entire body, dimly conscious that her physical being from the tips of her toes to the dreadful pain in lier head was like a sensitive machine racked by a pow- er beyond her control. The springs of Delphy's bed creaked and caused her to catch her breath and lie quiet a moment. Foot- steps shuffled to the kitchen, there was the click of metal on metal and a low-voiced monologue on a “danged contraption tha'll ‘caus ma soul to suffa fire for a cursin’ it.” Delphy was heating chocolate. The sobs qf her mistress turned to hysterical laughter, and when the old woman shuffled in a few mo- ments later she found Judith laugh- ine rying in the same breath. :, there, “cney lamb; juss you shut yo' mouth an’ drink this chocolate.” “How can I shut my mouth 'n’ drink?” inquired Judith, with a hys- terical giggle. “I'll rub yo' back down soon's you finish it. .Wrought up you are, wrought up, what with dam buildin’, ghosts an’ flyin’ up where man's never sposed to be you're all a quiver.” When Judith had finished the “chocolate,” Delpby, ignoring her protests, rubbed some home-made concoction of menthol cn the baek of her neck and began massggijg her neck, her shoulders, her baek. When she awakened the next| morning she felt that something | dreadful which had been on the verge of happeaing had happened. Delphy served Ler breakfast, relat- ing some choice town gossip as she hovered about the table, and Judith, remembering her unselfish devo tion, pretended to enjoy the flaky biscuits and to lacgh at the gossip. The change in her personal af fairs made Delphy a fresh problem. She should send her back to Nor- man or Mrs. Dale. She belonged to tuem, but somehow, having her made it seem she still retained some hold on her husband. She would let Delphy make the decision. intends HE did that evening. The grow ing heat of the desert spring had driven them to the little porch in front, and Delphy, silent for the mo- ment, was watching the approach of the work train, crawling along like a black snake. She explained things briefly, then waited for the old woman to answer. “Miss Judy, d'you mean you don't want me no mo'?” she asked plain tively. “No, Delphy; not at all. But, as Miss Bevins said in Lige's letter, you've always been with the Dales.” “Miss Judy, none a the rest of the Dales needs me ‘ceptin’ you; and, Miss Judy, I just got to be needed.” Tears smarted in Judith’s eyes at the hunger in the old woman’s voice, “You're right, Delphy, and I do need you...you know that, don’t you?" The train was in, the mail courier coming up the hill. Judith’s heart beat like a tom-tom in spite of her stern efforts to control a hope she knew to be futile. Letters for her . .. she scanned the handwriting. Clia’s scrawl. She ‘tore open the envelope, pulled out the rough copy paper, and out of the mass of letter- ing one line seemed to stand il- lumined. “Norman has quit the firm of Dale, Lampere and Morrison.” Judith read on breathlessly. “The other day in court, some- one informed me that Norman Dale's name had disappeared from the door of the firm's offices. 1 tele- honed the! nd the girl told me Norman was out of town. “When 1 asked where I could reach him, -he said he had asked that his address be kept secret. Nor did she know when he could return nor when that address would be available, “(Wait ‘till I take a story over the phone . . . just a mort, okay, ready to g0 again) asked to talk to Lampere. He as smooth as silk, or as usual, and said Norman had ' left town to rest. 1 asked why his resting made it necessary for his name to be re- moved and he said Norman had thought it advisable as he was liable to remain away for several years, might never return, that due to his ‘late embarrassment’ (mean- ing you and the Bevins money) he might remain away permanently, even taking bar examinations in some other state. “I said, bologna, and he said, what, and I repeated, how inter- may I use this in a news At that he nearly jumped ugh the telephone at me. However, Judy-girl, in case you don't all reddy know it, your hus- band is no longer associated with Morton Lampere.

She framed Norman into a picture Lampere's sheet used in their roto- gravure. Seems Mrs. Dale and some other woman won that fool bridge tournament. Frost of the Union went down to take their pic- ture. Norman was with his mother and went out on the terrace with her, then sat down In a chair to study some papers he happened to be working on. “Mathile, Mrs. Dale's shadow, was not far away. She gracefully effaced herself from Mrs. Dale's side so she wouldn't interfere with the picture, and sat down close to Norman. Frost, having received his orders, took them in this cozy two- « some, then turned his attention to the other women. “Norman was so absorbed in his wa work he didn't know what had happened until he saw the paper. Was he mad! If Lampere hadn't held him down he'd have wrecked the Union, Frost and a few others. “] wonder if your innocent Scotchman fsn't getting onto the fact that' Lampere is using this stuff to psychologize the public future jurors into be- ing that Norman Is the man be- d the Bevins women's fight for your money."” UDITH laid the letter aside for a moment. So that was how that picture was taken, and Norman hadn’t known. No longer with Lam- pere, he'd left the firm his grand- father bad founded . .. that meant either a tremendous concession or a tremendous disillusionment . . .| and that was why he hadn't been able fo keep Hillendale.
