O God, that I may Open the Way To Alaska! There & no lunger any valid reason for delay the building build-ing of the overland hiidiv.:iy to Alaska should be started at once ! For years this project has languished. There were Canadian Ca-nadian fears that United States influence might be too heavy alonpr such a iii.uhway--t.hat it meant some sacrifice of sovereignty. sov-ereignty. There were American fears that it meant dumping money into a rio.i-et which would principally benefit Canada. . Neither fear means anything today. Canada and the United States have submerged all last lingering distrusts in mutual understanding of a mutual problem of defense. And the need for safeguarding Alaska by development as well as by military t-staUishmentsj is now clear. -s 'I' f -: Well, what are waiting fur? The 1200 miles of this highway would cost only around 1 1,000,000. It is hard to sec how a more valuable defense asset could be acquired for the same amount. There need- be no quibbling about the share of the two countries. Canada is. very busy rh'ht now. Let the United States build the road, and settle later with the Canndinns for their share. We ran trut them to bo fair. The enKmeers have studied practicable.

You build shelly and jiuns oecause you nave to, out you do not pretend that ti are of any value except for stark defense. The Alaska read rni.eht well be of the highest civilian value in addition to its defense worth. It would open up the northern reaches of British Columbia Colum-bia and the Yukon territory and make them accessible to the Canadian and American west coast. It would open Ah ska to those who might not be able to afford steamer or airway fares, but who would make the trek via "tin-can" cavalcade. . The road is one defense measure which could not possibly possi-bly be construed as a threat to anybody. It unites a strong uoiense measure with a lcrward-Ioukiny civilian tnent.

America imported from the Dutch Kast Indies 4,245,-000 4,245,-000 pounds .of rattan, 1,156,00!) pounds of citronella oil, and 1,343,000 pounds of cinchona bark from which quinine is procured.

Moil' than o:u-third comes from the Indies. Many grocer sells a blended coffee which i3 called a mixture of Mocha and Java. Java is ficm the Dutch Indies to the tune of 18,000,000 pounds. The Dutch Kast Indies supply one-quarter one-quarter of the tea drunk in America, Ameri-ca, ranking next to Ceylon and ahead of Indin and Japan. The Indies have almost a monopoly mon-opoly in pepper used in America, supplying 49 000,000 pounds out of 52,000,000. Nutmeg and mace also come largely from there. The Indies supply almost all the tapioca. tap-ioca. Finally, the Indies sent America 7,570,000 straw hats in 193S. On The Sunny Sid BY MARY P.LBKN CAIN An old reference book describes Labor Day in the United States as a "Legal holiday on which labor organizations parade to .. show their strength." Labor organizations and parties began in the United States in 1825, when industrial progress showed itself in earnest and immigration from Europe began to attract at tention and incite fears of compe tition in the field of labor. The first national convention of labor was held in Louisville, Ky., in ISHa, only sume 25 delegates were present. From that time on labor organi zations inerea:ed in niemhershin and activities. At a convention held in Chicago. June 1KS0 Ja B. Weaver was nominated for president, and B. J. Chambers as vice president, but at the polls lih; yoie ior in use candidates was comparatively small. In 1881, B. V. Butler of Massachusetts, was nominated. nom-inated. At the following election less than 134,000 votes were polled. In later years labor interests have occupied themselves more particularly with interior organization organi-zation in the way of compact and efficient unions that exist without regard to politics of their members. mem-bers. Until quite recent years, the public did not take the 'trouble to investigate, or to understand, the purposes of unions. Now most thinking people have learned that a union is an organization that takes an active interest in the welfare of its own members and a secondary interest in the welfare of all similar unions. These unions ai filiate and become powerful and influential organizations, such as the American Federation of Labor.

While America may not see many 1940 Labor Day parades, that does not mean that the laboring labor-ing men and women are unmindful unmind-ful of or indifferent to, the critical criti-cal times at hand. Perhaps never before in the history of their organizations or-ganizations have the members of labor union3 been more conscious of their voting responsibilities than today. Most union members can tell you whether the voting records of their state legislators, and their United States congressmen, have been for the masses or for the chosen few. And those well-informed union men and women wisely choose to prove their strength, and their part in this Nation, at the polls rather than in parade, or in mass demonstrations. demonstra-tions.

It is nothing until labor takes hold of it. The living laborer sets free the condensed labor and makes it assume some form of utility or beauty.

CAKKOLL I was thinking hew steadfast nature seems compared to human nature. It is true, of course, that everything in the world is constantly con-stantly changing, even the mountains moun-tains that appear so changeless and eternal. But the changes in nature ordinarily are so slow and gradual that we scarcely notice them. For that reason it gives u.s a sense of assurance in times of social and political upheaval to get close to nature and to feci -the comfort of her constancy. The thought was brought home to me a short time ago when I returned after a year to the campus cam-pus of the Brigham Young university uni-versity Alpine summer school. As I stood at the Aspen Grove and looked up at old Timpanogos, the grand old mountain seemed exactly ex-actly as it did a year ago, its silent, solemn, stately peaks lifted up majestically against the sky. And in the evening the stars and the moon shone with their same calm splendor. The creek was singing its endless song of constancy con-stancy and peace. I thought of the changes in the human world within the year. Human earthquakes and volcanoes have disfigure.1 the contours of the vast social structure of the world. A year ago I could think of Europe with definite pictures in my mind of the great cities man had erected in the course O SERIAL STCRY LOVE OM CHAPTER I J JAP.K saw her f.rst as f.be , stepped from Newt Gale's Hack buit'.y and walked into Sioux Tpiing.3 House, a jaunty, rufllexl cicature, billowy with flounces, pleats, and tucks. Instantly, In-stantly, he was interested. Never in a raw, frontier town had he seen anyone like her. Nor had Newt, who confided to Mark afterward after-ward he was almost afraid to sit down by "all them ru files," driving driv-ing her over from the stage line. Mark saw her next that afternoon after-noon at the land office. She was a single splash of white, breathtaking, breath-taking, in a sea of somber denims, ducks, and homespuns. She was tested at a long, paper-littered table talking with bluff Colonel Bai ; in&ton, und office clerk, when Ilaik filtered. The business of liomesteading see-med to have ttopped completely at her upptar-htice. upptar-htice. "Of course, o'course, there's land, whole sections of it," the colonel was remonstrating, wiping Lis broad forehead in the heat cf that August afternoon. 'But you're alone, alone, Miss Miss Lane. This ain't no country for a woman alone." lie paused awkwardly, having blurted out the whole naked truth in one sentence. The girl eyed him steadily. Suddenly, Mark thought, she seemed somehow frailer, out of time and place in the hot, Crowded room. But if she was, if . the colonel's blunt warning had shaken her, she covered it up quickly. "Colonel," she said, and leaned forward with a smile Mark would never forget, "I'm sorry, but this IS tne country for a "woman alone." She paused ever so slightly, giving her words deliberate effect. Then she went on: "As my uncle wrote you, Mother died two years ago. And last year my father. My health wasn't too good even before that. Our doctor advised" sae paused with the faintest tinge of a blush "well, he said I sliculd come west, get a homestead. The change of climate would do wonders won-ders for me. Uncle said you would know best about a location, a homestead close to town. 1 wouldn't need to stay long, only O few months, perhaps, till the estate was settled. And then , . ." Silence had fallen over the room like Sunday. Standing in tight little knots, the homesteaders were hanging on every word from this strange, petal-like girl. She looked about, startled, went hurriedly hur-riedly on. as if sensitively aware of the curious eyes trainc-d on her. The colonel, appreciating her glance, brought matters to a head, pushed a big, open map tcross the table toward her, indicated a homestead tract with his stubby finger. She leaned over the map, intent for a moment, then went on talking. She asked about roads and water and neighbors, the colonel answering her earnestly. There were no roads, you had to dig for water, few neighbors yet. At length, the clerk handed her a legal-looking paper, she signed it and rose to pay her fee. "Is that all. Colonel?" she asked, tucking the paper in her long black purse, adjusting her hat with a deft touch that secretly thrilled Mark. "Thank you so much," she. said, and turned to go, while the homesteaders shuffled shuf-fled awkwardly to one side to let Lcr pass. The land office buzzed again and Mark Deuel was back in the fcux-ming present. But not all of inm. Something had gone out that door with the girl in white. TTE knew that the moment he saw Carrie Lane again that irvenine. He was walking back; of the centuries, cathedrals with their gloriou3 stained glass windows, win-dows, art galleries with their numberless treasures of priceless paintings and sculptures, universities univer-sities with their ancient and modern mod-ern traditions. Now I know that the windows of the cathedrals have been removed for safety and may never be returned; many of the masterpieces of art have probably prob-ably met the same fate; doubtless doubt-less the traditions of the great seats of learning ate beir.g buried, bur-ied, too, probably never to be re-eKtablished re-eKtablished again. Old Europe with its long ages of slowly growing culture and civilization is gone. The realization realiza-tion is painfully confusing, almost paralyzing, particularly when with it is the dread that the same cataclysmic changes may be creeping stealthily toward our own land. It is because of that disturbing uncertainty, and of fear of perverse per-verse forces which may upset our satisfying way of life, that we need something to cling to, to help us to feel that there is something some-thing stable and permanent in the universe. Nature helps to give that sense. When we ponder on the fact that Timpanogos has towered above us for vast ages, that' the heavens are constant in their ever changing chang-ing panorama of dawns and sunrises, sun-rises, twilights and evenings, we cannot help feeling that there is some . high power manipulating the universe, and though we feel such an infinitesimal, insignificant part of the whole, we cannot but rejoice that we are a part and have faith that the Maker of it all is operating a just and 'glori TUG LIME Illustrated by Harry Ciisungei- Mark saw her first as she stepped from Newt Gale's buggy and walked into the Sioux Springs House. . . .

Newt was Baying how 500 settlers would move into Rock Creek before fall at the rate they were coming. The Missouri was bringing them in by the boatloads, there was talk of a railroad. "Bring in some more like that Lane miss and I'm a settlin' here permanently," Newt added, wiping wip-ing the perspiration from his bald head, hitching his belt. .He eyed Mark with a nod. "Tell me the boom is just getting started. Hear one fellow is out here selling fake town lots already, advertising with newsboys on every train out of Chicago what a great country this is out here. Guess he's even selling 'em a state capital we ain't got yet." lie laughed, ending, "Be a state before no time, Mark." "That's so," Mark started to answer an-swer with sudden interest, and cut himself short. Down the street, stirring with horses and slouchy figures, a buggy was drawing up before the hotel. A man in broad-brimmed black hat, cutaway coat, had leaped down to assist a woman from the seat. Mark's heart quickened. It was the girl in white. He strode along the uneven walk, passing the buggy just as she entered the one-story one-story frame hotel. The man was climbing back into the seat. Mark was able to see his face clearly; it was heavy, unpleasant. Afterward, After-ward, Mark remembered the small, bird-like eyes.

"And Mark, this ii Carrie Lane. Miss Lane, this is Mark Deuel. He's a homesteader or claim jumper or somethin. Don't know much about him. Only been here a few days." She winked at Carrie broadly. Newt gulped and grinned. There was no splash of white this morning, Mark noted. The girl was dressed in a trim gray suit, with roped shoulders and dainty blouse, and, like the white outfit he had first seen her in, too dainty for frontier Sioux Springs. Mark noticed, too, tha golden hair, piled high in a mass of curls. Mark studied her. She wa3 pretty, infinitely so, with a determined deter-mined little chin. Determined enough, he wondered, fur this soit of life? He stirred his coffee, sugared it twice before conversation came easily. "Understand you've liled a homestead claim?" lie asked. "Yes, over on Rock Creek." "That's good land." He paused over his cofTeo. "Anyone helping you get started out there?" And for the first time he was sure she was a little frightened. She looked up, suddenly sober. "No," she said, "but I'm sure I'll get along all right with everyone every-one so fine to me here already. It's only a little ways out at town, you know, eight or nine miles. Besides, the town is going to grow out that way and many more settlers are going to come in. Why, just yesterday Mr. Oak3 was saying that everybody ought to buy up as many lots as they can in these new towns. That is, before the railroad comes in, the county stats are decided." She was gay again, chatty, confident, con-fident, as Mark had first seen her. Only Mark did not see her gaiety now. He saw instead the beady-eyed beady-eyed man at the buggy, lie saw Carrie flushed and pale, and saying, say-ing, "Oh, I'll get along all right," to cover up her fears, and in that moment Mark -Deuel knew something some-thing bigger than he was had bound him to the girl at hu tiiu |
