That led to a strange dis- covery by our investigators durh\g‘ the World War. They had arrested a man suspected as a spy. But no; evidence was found on him or in his bag. So our secret service put his clothes through some chemical tests. From the cloth on the but- tons of his dress coat came a dark color. It was ceret ink. It had been dried into the buttons for use when he needed it.

On the first emergency call to, | Hoonah, Lon went over to pick up Mr, and Mrs. Peter Johnson, the| ter suffering from hemorrhages, | d bring her to Juneau where Mrs. Johnson was admitted to the Government Hospital. The emergency_ call was given by |Marine Air radio to Cope when he had just taken off for Atlin, and| Cope turned about to pick up the | Hoonah patient. Making the Atlin trip immed- |iately on his return from Hoonah, | Cope flew a load of perishables to |the Atlin Lake town and brought |back Mr. and Mrs. Harold Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Henning. On landing at Juneau again, Cope was informed of another em- ergency call from Hoonah.-He went out and returned with Mrs. Mary Houston, suffering from a broken wrist, and then again took off for Atlin, with Capt. J. V. Davis aboard. Mr. and Mrs. George Felt were brought to Juneau from Atlin to make connections with the steamer Princess Louise. v This morning, Cope took the Fair- child out to the islands with El- wood Moore- for Sitka and Tom Burton and John Doe to Hoonah. This afternoon Alex Holden was to take the Bellanca up the Taku River to investigate flood . condi- tions at the Polaris-Taku mine where suddenly released .glacier waters have swellen the river.and endangered the entire camp.

IT'S DIFFERENT NOW Barring wars or depressions, John | Citizen has always impressed home ohligations on the Congressmen who came to Washingtor.. The Congress- man who fails to get his full need of postoffices, dams, highways and | the like, had better watch out on next election day. But, now the theory s that Fed- eral expenditures are no longer controlled by state and lcal polit- ical organization. WPA is the out- | state supervision of the relations between employers and employees. The President’s argument for na- tional thinking on national prob- lems may be right or it may be wrong. Certainly the Federal gov- ernment was headed in that direc- tion for many years before FDR went to the White House. How far the process should go is an end- less argument only time will an- swer. It is more significant just now, however, that the head of the na- tion is stating a complicated eco- nomic theory for John Citizen in simpler, more understandable, terms than John Citizen ever heard that theory discussed before, e o — EMIT JACKSON IS DEAD Emit.
