ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. KENTUCKY DERBY THI Everyone with o knowledge of the ‘sport of kings” kiows that tie Kentucky Derby is the fore- most horse race annually in the Western Hemisphere. But to explain all of the elements that go into making it so is not so easy. Other races may command richer purses but none have so much renown to award to the winner as the classic of Churchill Downs at Lexington. Thus the cup for the owner, its garland for the horse and the unfilled space for the winner this year at the entrance of the Downs, not the purse, attracts international attention. There is something more than the sixtieth of a sequence of annual contests behind this. For venerable as the Derby is, it is young in comparison to the “other” Derby at Epsom Downs. So important is the Derby mile and a quarter that no American three-year-old can claim the supremacy if he has not added this utmost victory of speed and endur- ance to his record. The Kentucky Derby ranks only with its English counterpart.” That this has been true since the earliest of these contests i5 but another way of saying that the Derby is the culmination of all the history of the thoroughbred in Kentucky. It is not fully appreciated by the outside world that the pre- eminence of the horse in Kentucky—and of this the Kentucky Derby is the real reflection—derives directly from the first Derby at Epsom. The winner, Diomed, was imported into America. His offspring became the dominant strain in our thoroughbreds, and by the middle of the last centu when the great horse Lexington appeared, that blood line gave to Kentucky its present un- challenged * position” i ‘the breeding and racing of running horses. Over thirty of the winners whose names are blazoned at Churchill Downs are in the direct line from Lexington. Thus the victory is inseparable from all that has gone before in the history of American thoroughbred breeding and racing. It, for that matter, is part of the annals of the turf abroad. This explains in part the pride felt by the Kentuckian when a horse reared within the Com- monwealth by a Kentucky owner captures the laurels, and it explains the avid enthusiasm by all owners to gain the proud disinction for their silks regardless of the purse. For it is the utmost that Kentucky offers, a Kentucky which has been racing since Mad Anthony Wayne was still busy with the Indians a century and a half ago. SPECIAL STORAGE CLOSET PREVENTS MOTH DAMAGE. Clothes moth flv about and deposit their eggs at almost any season in our heated houses. When the approach of warmer days invites us to shed overcoats, sweaters, and extra blankets, we do not always take care of these things promptly, and moths get at them while they are waiting for attention. The moths lay their eggs, and the larvae or worms that hatch out do the damage by feeding on the woolens or furs. Why not clear out at least one closet, suggest the EMPIRE PR[NTIN‘.G-kEOIPAN’Y at Second and Main $.25 tavor if they will promptly notify the Business Office of any fallure or irregularity | in use, and sometimes even then, they are scarcely better than any other closets that can be kept tightly closed If everything can be put away at once the task is simplified. Clean, brush thoroughly, and sun each article to make sure there are no hidden | moth eggs in it, place the garments on hangers, and | sprinkle 3 or 4 pounds of naphthalene flakes or paradichlorobenzene crystals on the floor. Then lock the door and seal the cracks with tape. If the garments must be put away one at a time, it is better to wrap each article in strong unbroken wrapping paper (after cleaning and sunning) with the ends turned under. As an added safeguard, sprinkle some of the flakes or crystals in each package. Label everything to simplify later identi- |'fication, and store the packages in the special closet. If you do not have such a closet to spare, you can probably make a tight cupboard or storage | chest of boards or wall-board that will answer the purpose. Line it with strong unbroken wrapping !paper and when you put away your winter things put in plenty of the flakes or crystals referred to above. Your best rugs deserve similiar atten- tion. They could be stored in a special box, long enough to take them when rolled on poles to prevent wrinkles. The rugs should be vacuum cleaned on | both sides before going into the storage box. Mr. Voliva breaks into print again with a re- statement of his belief in a flat world. If he'd just add the word broke to flat, he'd gets lots of supporters. | War seldom settics unything, asserts Field Mar- shal Sir William Robertson. Neither do some of the countries who borrow money with which to wage it. Ex-Mayor Jimmy Walker may be “peppier and wittier” than ever but we bet he'd swap the whole of England and France for. little old New York again. The Prospector. (Anchorage Times.) If there is a time of the year in Alaska when the prospector should be remembered by the pow- ers of government it is this time—the Spring. The snows are disappearing from the broad vales and hills, and this is the natural time for the prospector to take to the hills. All this considered, the future expansion of the prosperity of Alaska depends more upon the pros- pector than any other man. Fishing with all its vast source of wealth is developed to near its maximum—but as to mining possibilities in Alaska they have barely been scratched. The coming years will see Alaska's mineral developed many fold as compared to today? And who will bring about that great advance. The prospector is the man. On him rests Alaska's greatest hope. And, sad to say little is being done to encourage or aid the prospector in Alaska. All the high sounding promises of the past to get something new launched on hehalf of the prospector finds the Spring of 1934 with little real enabling legisla- tion or other efforts on behalf of the prospector. What about more geological aids; the establish- ment of a mining bureau; the provision for Govern- ment mining engineers and geologists to aid the prospector? How about free assay offices, such as |other countries have, where the prospector may have 'his samples tested when he is broke—as usually he is after he sinks his last dollar in his season’s outfit. < It is time to shake up some dry bones in Alaska and get behind the prospector in a way that will 3brlng about an advance all along the line. Other /mining countries are leaping forward by leaps and bounds by extending aids to the prospector in a yway that is neglected in Alaska. . | Now that a lot of candidates have been chosen for the new Alaska Legislature and others are |seeking office, how about getting right down to |cases and framing up something that will put the | prospector in a way to turn up the latent mineral wealth which tms. Territory has and which should be made productive. The future of Alaska depends upon the man behind the pick—and the man behind the man |behind the pick. If you cannot be a man behind the pick, get |busy and get behind the man who is behind it land cast his life in the game. Offhand it doesn't look like the State liquor stores are going to inspire poetry and drama as did the corner saloon.—(Ohio State Journal.) o 74 B e e e e T | ® No Argument! ® No Statement!

RICE & AHLERS (O. Judith Lane by JEANNE BOWMAN » Chapter 44 SURPRISE T WAS nearing lunch time. The juror with the walrus mustache chewed on a twirled end reflective- ly. Ore of the others tapped at his pocket where the bulge of a tobacco can showed. The very saneness of her explana- tion seemed to reach the jury and Lampere realized it. He waited a moment, then said thoughtfully— “And of course a man with millions couldn’t hire s cook to prepare slumgullion?” 3 “No,” retorted Judith Juickly, “it's like corned beef and cabbage, you have to like it to cook it.” On the Rice roof, where she went with her party for lunch, Judith saw Mathile and Mrs. Bevins with Lampere. Again she wais struck with tbe new beauty of the giri. She had doffed ber grieving manner and w-s talking with animation. Judith was not recalled to the stand after the luncheon hour. In- stead, Mathile, again drooping with grief, took her place, was sworn, and eyes lowered, handkerchief gripped in apparently tense fingers, awaited Lampere's questions. When they caa.. they were voicel in low, tender tones. “Miss Bevins, the previous witness told us that your father used to visit her pent-house to find food your ser- vants were unable to prepare satis- factorily. I know this is going to be extremely painful to you, but can you throw a little light on this? Why was he forced to go there?” “I'd rather not tell, please,” said Mathile. “For your mother's sake, Bevins?” She looked up, eyes limpid with tears. “Doctor Ainswright, whom we met on a cruise, made an exami- nation of father, physically and mentally. He said if we wanted to keep him with us he must have no stimulants of any kind. For tha. rea- son we refused to give him tea, cof- fee and . . " “Yes, Miss Bevins, go on.” “Alcohol in any form.” “And did he go to Miss Lane's penthouse for tea and coffee?” A low sob was the answer. “Come now and brace up, those times when he returned at three and four in the morning, was he completely under the influence of liquor?” Sobs, unrestrained, muffled with lace-frothed handkerchiet were the answer, heard below Judge Mor- gan's furious objection—"Mislead- ing, calling for the witness's deduc- tion.” Miss UDITH stared at Mathile Bevins in horror. How dare she intimate a thing like that of Big Tom Bev- ins? Of her own part she thought nothing. “How dare she talk like that of him?” she asked Mrs. Cunard pite ously. “He rarely ever took a drink of anything, unless it were part of a dinuer.” “She’ll bagpaid for it,” Mrs. Cun- ard said, with certainty. The rest of the afternoon was spent in placing engineers on the stan.., engineer. 10 spoke in tech- nical terms of the impracticability of the Rio Diablo Dam as it was be- ing constructed. The last witness was a man whom Judith dimly remembered having seen somewhere. He told how, in her eagerness to gain more money, Mrs. Dale had spent ten thousand dollars sinking a well In a dry spot where any geologist with an ounce of homesty in his heart would have sworn there was no oil. He told of threatened strikes ot the sober dam workers who resent- ed the millionaire stenographer's high-handed methods. “Gentlemen,” said Lampere to the jury, “I regret 1 have not one more witness to present to you, Norran Dale, the husband of the yo woman s...ag there, the man who, if thingz were as worthy counscl would have us believe, would be at her side at a time like this. “The plaintiff rests.” The thrust was a cruel one. Judith stifféned. It she had not al ready been numbed with pain, it might have hurt more cruelly, but now it seemed there wasn’t much else could matter. She had lost, lost irrevocably. Morgan and Cunard rode home with Mrs. Cunard and Judith, laugh. ing and chatting. Judith thought them heartless, and once with a lit tle hurt, “How can you,” she broug * their attention back to her “Well, you poor youngster,” so the Judge kindly, “I'd plumb forgo! | you weren’t accustomed to the ways of the courts.” “But we've lost,” wa‘led Judith. “Oh, my word,” gasped the Judge, “have you so little confidence in me? Don’t you worry a mite. We're going to win.” .. . And with a rakisi air which sat strangely on his dig- mity, “And how.” Mrs. Cunard joined forces and saw that she slept. When she awakened she found a queer sight, suspended from her chandelier, a frock. As Clia would have said, such a dress must be a frock. Mrs. Cunard came in soon after. lags flying today, Judith,” she id, after Judith had thanked her. “We want you to look like your five million dollars. You mustn’'t look crushed as Lampere would have you 1 . This is the beginning of your day.” Judith wondered if it were when she reached the courtroom. She was glad of the frock; somehow it gave her the assurance of stil' be- ing clean, fragrant and fresh, not the soiled person ¢f whom Lampere bad talked. UDGE MORGAN opened his case by putting a trio of medical men on the stand, three psychiatrists who testified that Tom Bevins had come to them on the day he drew up Lis new will, and asked ‘or a thorongh test. “Why did he do this?" Morgan asked the first man. “He said he felt there would be an attempt made to break his will, on th: grounds of his being of un- sound mind, and wished to prevent that.” “A senile psychesis,” whispered Lampere in a stage whisper. “No Indeed,” sald the medical man, “he was ready with written proof to show us that his enemies were already at work. From the doctor, “he was wise in his precau- tion. | judge you wish to go no fur- ther into this prouf?” “Of course,” interposed Judge Morgan, “if Mr. Lampere wants to cross examine my witness before | bave finished.” “1 b2g your pardon,” came in sur 1y tones. Th: other two went unchallenged, nor uid Lampere accept the privi lege of cross-examination. This completed, to Judith's amazement, Thomas Scoggins, sen for, was iIntroduced and told the true stery of the oil well venture. Several dam wcrkers appeared and sald, that aside from outside inter- ference, there had been no mutiny among the men and .hat Mrs. Dale had aot attempted to “boss” them. but bad said from the first she was marely acting as Big Tom Bevins' sacretary, carrying ou. his instruc- tions. Max Larson also testified, and one of the women, who told of Judith's attempts to make life comfortable for (he workers' families. Judith was amazed, overwhelmed, as one after the other took the stand. Their appearance came as a complete surprise and her manner provad it. A “brace” of engineers testified to the saneness of the dam's posi- tion and construction. “You don't wish t. cross exam ine?” inquired Morgan in mock sur- prise. “No,” laughed Lampere good-na- turedly, “they are too well coached.” “I challenge that statement.” barked Morgan, “I can prove | have npt spoken to a single witness, nor has anyone connected with this side addressed them, on the subject of the trial.” Lampere did not ask for proof. He listened to Clia’s spirited account of |the “pent-house” with a crooked smile on his face, then as the hands of the clock began pointing to the closing hour, chewed thoughtfully on the end of pencil as though wh~* W« * on on the witness stand was of uo value. “And aow,” sald Jiuge Morgan, “as my last witness | call Norman Dale, husband ot Judith D~le, former partner of the firm of Dale, Lam- were and Morrison.” That clarion went through the {00> like an electric charge. Re- porta:s sprang fror their seats and dashed to their telephones. Lam- pere sprang from his seat also, hie | face white and red and white by turn. Mathile’s eyes widened and dudith—Judith quietly crumpled in her seat. , Someone brought water, and soineone held her in strong arms. She looked up, it was Norman— *Judy can you ever forgive me?" he asked. | (Conyright. 1934, Jeanne Bowman) Tormorrow, Norman upsets the I anile cart.
