If we all do If, the city looks better to the traveler as well as to those who live right here. —o—o The coal operator* and miners and those interested parties in other industries who are cautributlug to strikes are not popular now. They can settle differences other ways, it is claimed, and ought to do so. O—U Many London Women are now in the lira departments. They have not time or desire for make-up They are lighting for home and loved ones. They have their backs to the wall and are standing as firm as lhe uieu. It's a lesson to the world. O—o— There should be no strikes in those plants which have war contracts. at least until the crisis la peat. It there are any difficulties they can surely be settled by arbitration without loss of wages or production. That’s the sentiment of most of our citizens ■ O 0 —■ Tils pation is preparing to de-

That will help greatly hi these days when every oik is worrying about the piyposed lhe lease in taxes. The dateuse •X---pease must be met but there are probably many items that can be reduced while we arc meeting the present emergency. Now the General Motors plants all over the country are hi the limelight as strikes are threatened and se» tn imminent. A couple of hun- . dred thousand men will be out of work If It happens and nearly a hiMion dollars worth of defense orders will be held up. it just should not happen at this serious time in the history of America. O—O The Red Cross needs more women to knit and do other work towards furnishing articles for the ls>ys in camp and for those in the war lorn territories where women . and children are suffering. Th. | next session of these patriotic Women will be at the Legion home in tins city tomorrow from one to 1.30 o'cloc k. You are welcome if you wish to h- Ip the good c ause. O—O Shirley Temple has grown up. At least she has reached the age , when she doesn't care for lhe curls whic h made- her so popular and famous. Now h<-r hair falls in soft waves with ringlets at the end, making her appear quite a young lady, The public hates to lose the little girl who brought so inuc h sunshine- and pleasure to the world, but she will probably blossom out as a girl in her teens, just as good to look at in pic lures as was the Ifttie Miss Temple. O—O— One of the great men in America is William S. Knudsen. who came here as an Immigrant when a boy. As he was moving along the- gang plank to land, he kept hearing an officer shout. "Get a move on." He adopted that as a slogan and he has never quit. He moved oti until h. got a job and did It so well he kept <>n moving until he became foreman and superintendent and then an official of General Moiers. He is now in charge of produetkm for war defense and doing a great job. The young man or woman who remembers to "gat a move on” and dots it is a sure winner. o — Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee e—— -— 4 - Home-Made Cold Creams A cold cream that Is excellent for the face and hands can be prepared as follows: Two ounces of oil of sweet almonds. one ounce of puce glycerine, jounce of upwrmac etio, twenty grains of white wax. and six drop* of oil of rose- Melt all this together, setting the enp over boil Ing water; then beat until perfectly cold and snowy white.

Occasionally, however, eigweially during the berry season the little turtles become so fat that there just Isn’t room for the I turtle in his shell. At such times, the shell cannot bo completely clom. Box turtles are usually most abundant where open, grassy spots alternate with woods and sparse thickets. They usually wander considerably. and feed on many verietffis of vegetable food, especially berriw and mushrooms- They also eat insect larvae and earthworms. They bury thetr hard but thin shelled eggs in soft earth or leaves. The young are seldom seen.

SYNOPSIS Fifty years sgo. Csptsin "Dynamite” Danny O’Moorv. master of the sealer, "Glory of the West.” was In love with Jacqueline Reynall, daughter of Captain Ramps Reynall, terror of Alsska sesl poachers. A lover's quarrel parted them shortly before Reynall captured "The Glory." O Moors always felt that Jacqueline betrayed him. She was the only one who could have copied his charts of the coastline showing hie hide-outs. Today, "Dynamite" manages one of Alaska's leading fisheries for his Csnddaughter, Sondra. Kemp Starck, young preeident of American Packers, and an admirer of Sondra, wants O'Moore's complete catch, but a strange outfit, Baranov Packers, has an option on the late John Bates* contract with “Dynamite” for ths fish. Besides, O'Moore disapproves of Kemp's outfit because it employs too many orientals. He believes Japan la charting ths Alaskan coastline under the guise of "fishing.” What it wouldn't give tor "Dynamits’a” maps, but he hse •worn no one but Uncle Sam will get those! The Barsnov option most bo exercised by II A. M. the ■ext day and ■ 130,000 advance paid. “Dynamite" ia stunned when he learns Jacqueline Reynall owns Barsnov Packers and, adding inault to injury, has converted “The Glory” into a floating cannery, captained by her foster son. Jean. That was disillusionment for Sondra; Jean had been her childhood playmate and al! through the years she had carried him in her heart. Summoning Jean before him, “Dynamite" declares he will not sell him bie catch, but the young man plans to hold kirn to hie contract. On the way out. he asks Sondra to be in the cupola of Echo House (her home) that night at nine as he has something important to tell her. When they were children. John Winthrop, the Forest man. revealed to them the strongs acoustic qualities of the cupola; someone talking from a certain point a mile offshore could be distinctly heard in it. It was Jean and Sandra's method of contact when their families* feud kept them apart. Sondra’s friend, Liene Bootrin. and Kemp keep Sondra from getting there on time so she misses ths first parr of Jean’s message warning her against some mysterious menace. CHAPTER ELEVEN The morning following her experience in the cupola, Sondra woke with a vagv feettng that something momentous had happened. Then, awiftly, the eventa of yester* day clarified ia her mind—the arrival of Jean Reynall and the Glori; the discovery that Miss Jacqueline wan the old ship's owner, as well as the power behind Baranov Packers; Jean's strange fragmentary message which had eome to her across the night waters of the bay. Certain remembered phrases of that maaaage she found no less bewildering now than they bad been test night "Menace ... even murder.... Be on your guard, you and your grandfather." On guard—against what? What menace could there be in dreamy old Sitka that would Justify a warning couched in such melodramatic terms? Darn Kemp and Lianel If they hadn't kept her from reaching the cupola last night in time to hear the first part of Jean’s message, she’d know what all this was about. Jean had told her, "I must go through with what I have to do for Aunt Jack." That meant he intended to defy Dynamite and operate the Glory as a floating cannery. If he did, Dynamite certainly would declare a war that would fill the lovely summer with a merciless eontict she shrank from contemplating. Jean could not know what a fisb war fa Alaska meant. Nets slashed, boats rammed, men sacrificed. "Nothing too dirty to pull." Hs might be overestimating his seernS; advantage fa finding Dynamite ppled and house-bound, unaware that the old sea-fighter's least command would be ruthlessly and efficiently carried out by young Chris Sandvik, hard-boileJ senior captain of the O’Moore fieet. If be really understood this, perhaps be might try to persuade Miss Jacqueline to make peace on Dynamite'* terms. Yet, even as Sondra revolved this possibility, a wisdom older than bar-

self told her Jean Reynall was not the man to abandon a set course merely to avoid opposition; nor was he one to urge peace solely because the alternative might mean danger to himaelf. No, if peace were to be effected, it must be through a better understanding between Jean and her grandfather; through a spirit of compromise permitting each to give a little for the sake of gaining more. What the situation needed now wan an arbitrator, and that's where she, Sondra, might come in. But to be successful in such a rile, she must know both sides of the question. So far. she knew only the O'Moore side. To learn the other, she must see Jean when he came this morning; and before he went upstairs and further antagonized her peppery old grandfather. Sondra flushed suddenly, realizing she had been trying to rationalise this meeting with Jean. Then, defiantly, she shut her eyes, rested |

The way he had sung the old Thlinget song last night. . . . And on the stairs, the way he had looked at her when he said, "Sondra. Grown-up. Besutiful.. ," A little shiver of happiness went through her. She opened her eyes and raised herself so she could See her reflection in the long mirror across the room. Gravely, impersonally, she scrutinised the small, ' bare-armed girl in the nest of pillows; big gray-green eyes under tousled red-gold curls. Beautiful? She wanted desperately to be beautiful—for him. But... Did she have faith In Jean Reynall?... She didn’t know—yet One thing she did know, without explanation or analysis: She wanted to see him again; to stand close to him and talk with him—alone. And , nothing should keep her from meeti ing him at the door this morning. She shrugged into a jade-green satin robe and crossed to the open , window. The radiance of the morning . flashed upon her—clear blue distances; trilling of hermit thrushes; fragrance of flower*. Magnificent whit* clouds billowed against a sky i of bachelor-button blue.
