Incidentally, an orchid is due the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for instituting the idea and working diligently to get the project actually underway. In this undertaking it has been solidly supported by all of Southeast Alaska Dredging of Dry Pass will mean a great deal to Juneau, Ketchikan, Wrangell and all of the South- east. It will open up a waterway between the Islands of Prince of Wales and Kosciusko and permit small boats to operate over that route at all times. At pres- ent, tugs and small boats drawing around seven feet of water can use it only at high tide. With the dredg- ing done, it is anticipated that the great log rafts can be brought north through that way from Prince of Wales Island to the sawmills without ving to expose them to the- open waters of the Pacific. Prince of Wales has some of the best timber the Southeast for fish trap logs, in lumber. The Juneau sawmill gets virtually all its raw material from that area and Ketchikan and Wrangell draw on the area for trap logs. Also the fishing fleets from those cities will be better served Pass is made available. The present action by the War Department means a distinct boost to commercial activity in Southeast Alaska. Also it means, as we have often reiterated that Washington is not unmindful of the needs of Alaska and never in history has an administration when Dry shown such an actual desire to bring about deyelop- W.

In this connection, as you probably noted in yes- terday’s Empire, the Senate Commerce Committee has recommended an appropriation for air mail between Juneau and Fairbanks, something Alaskans have sought for a long time.

He always says, “won't you sit down, boys?” Child Labor (New York Times) ' It is sometimes claimed by the opponents of the labor amendment that the amendment is not because the evil with which it deals has been gradually “curing itself” and is already one of proportions. There is a measure of truth in The census of 1930 showed 235328 children from 10 to 13 years old gainfully employed child necessary lin the United States, compared with 378,063 in 1920 | with 682,795 in 1920 and 1,094,249 .in 1910. 1 five months of 1936, found, piling and other! In 1930 there were 431,790 chil- compared Since 1930 there has doubtless been a substantial reduction in the number of children of 15 and younger employed. This has been brought about partly. by the same tendencies that were working in preceding years, and partly by the NRA codes which prohibited the employment of such children. and 895976 in 1910. dren of the ages of 14 and 15 employed, 1 Of the 667,118 children 15 years old or less work-, what is the best way a woman can , Jrevive old friendships? ing in 1930, 469,497 were in agriculture. In spite of the fact that popularly the child labor evil is usually discussed in its relation to factory employment, only 68,266 children of 15 or less were employed in 1930-in manufacturing and mechanical industries. The great bulk of the agricultural employment of children was in the Southern States. Yet a substantial child-labor problem remains. | All together, in 1930, there were 2,145,959 persons be- | tween the ages of 10 and 17 gainfully employed.

The explanation was simple and sufficient: “He died.” 0—0—o The young lady, who was something of a food fadist, was on a visit to a coast fishing village.
