AL \Sl\\ WILD LIFE DEVELOPING Report that the Capercaillie, or Norwegian grouse, may be introduced to Alaska will be weicome news to sportsmen, especially those who enjoy upland bird - shooting.

The giant Capercaillie is a the forests of Europe, particularly dominant in Norway and Sweden. They also are found in Siberia, and in the Scottish highlands where they have been re- planted in more recent years, The country in which they seem to thrive is very similar to the forest areas c¢f Alaska and nates are comparable. Naturally it will be some years before actual success of the venture will be determined as it is just in recent months that the Biological Survey and Alaska Game Commission have started negotiations with the PFinnish government to get a shipment of the birds for the Territory. However, in future years they may very well become a valuable part of the wild life assets of Alaska native of pine UP HERE MAYBE ST. PATRIC l\ W Alaska being a land without snakes, it is barely pessible that this is the country t St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland to whom ¢ te is paid today in various parts of the world, may have visited at some time in his more or less legendary career, dition has it, though historians appear to agree t it was a flight of the imagination, that Patrick drove the shakes owt of Ireland. It also 1s recorded t away somewhere to sea with a group of engaged in the export of Irish wolf-dogs. wolf dog in Alaska and no snakes, Per- was to the north country. A tall lulv of course, but perhaps no taller some of the countless others which have grown up arcund the name St. Patrick, virtually all of which are discounted by modern historians. Scholars who have delved into the history of the Irish patron saint gppear to give more credence to the belief that St. Patrick was born about the year 389, son of a deacon, named Calpurnius, and grandson of a pn vter, Potitus. The place probably, they record. was in the vicinity of Davent England Educated a Christian, Patrick is said to have been imbued with for the Roman Empire and at 16 started his relizious work. He is reported to have been carried away at least once by marauders and to have suffered bondage on various occasions His was evidently an intensely spiritual nature, and in addition to the qualities which go to form a strong man of action he must have possessed an enthusiasm which enabled him to surmount all difficulties, say historians. His importance in the history of Ireland and the Irish church consists, they record, in the fact that he brought Ireland into touch with western Europe and more particularly with Rome, and that he intreduced Latin into Ireland as the language of the church. His work consisted largely in organizing the Christian societies and in planting the faith in regions which had not yet come under the sway of the gospel. than reverence The winter relapse which we are experiencing teday appears mild in comparison with the reported “tw rs” in the States and high winds and rains which are whipping Puget Sound Much is made of ador Joseph Kenuedy being a millionaire. But we suspect that with nine children he encounters times when it is not too much. Perhaps ane of the best indications that times aren’t so bad is found in the report that income tax collections are hitting a new high peak. You don't pay the tax unless you make the income. Monotonous Drama (Cincinnati Enquirer) ‘The first few trials for sabotage and espionage in Moscow were intensely dramatic, the more so because | the accused did not act as defendants normally act | in this and other Western countries. But the entire performance has been repeated so often that it lesing whatever fascination it had for avid readers of the news. In the trials virtually everything is just as it was in the last batch, save that most of the names are new. For variety, however, one of the twenty-one defendants first pleaded not gu And to add in- terest to the indictment, the prosecution added to the | usual charges of spying and wrecking the accusation of murder—in particular the murder of the famed author, Maxim Gorky. But the “culprit” at last duti- fully confessed. | Even with these novel features, there is nothing to relieve the impressien that Moscow’s political trials are a systematic terror calculated to keep leaders, as well as mere cmzens cowed before an all-powerful dictatorship. other mass trials In the Soviet capital, this cne is significant on twe counts. It indicates plainly that the notorious political ‘instability of the Moscow is ticularly to France, the dangers of relying too greally on Russia as an ally. For all practical purposes, therefore, the new chapter in Moscow's sordid story f “justice” is a buttress for Nazi Germany’s aggres- sive designs Persuading France, Czechoslovakia, and England that the Soviet Union is suffering from a grave dis- unity reaching into the highest places, the trials weaken the fabric of alliances which was woven round Germany to keep her from ruthlessly expand- ing into the east of Europe. In this fashion the Stalin Government lends strength to its most certain and most formidable enemy Yellow and Cold Gold, (ml(l ‘Nv\\ Ymk Tnmw\ Nobody knows where the order for the latest army dress regulations originated. But the news thought to have been spread by a little bird perching sotle- where under the eaves of the White House. The full wardrobe costs $20450, which the officer pays himself.

Malin Craig, Chief of Staff, which he is required to design himself, tops oven these. It consists of a double-breasted blouse with two rows of gold buttons spaced in groups of four. The sleeves, of slashed type, are ornamented with black velvet carrying gold oak leaves and four silver stars. Gold embroirery riots over the standing collar, gold stripes decorate the trousers and a gold buckle fastens a black belt. This farewell t0 khaki should hearten every American pacifist. Our fighting forces will never go to war in uniforms like these. They couldn’t afford to. A Job for ('unurus (New York World-Te President Roosevelt and his leaders in Congress apparently have decided that the deadlock over wage- hour le ation cannot be broken in time for action at this sion. g That being so, this seems to us a proper time to start laying plans for enactment of that needed reform next year. The planning, in our opinion, wiil have to include something more than political strategy of the type that has just failed. It will have to reach into the problem, and come out with something more cencrete than the creation of another federal bureau- cracy. It was argued that the only way Congress could deal with the problem was to set up a federal board, or a federal administrator assisted b a number of edviscry boards, and delegate the legislative power to fix a wage floor and an hours ceiling. That argument was based on the fact that Congress itselt had not adequately explored cur interstate industries, and {herefore was not equipped intelligently to fix wage and hour standards that would protect exploited workers and insure fair competition But with Congress postponing action why shouldn’t it use the one-year breathing spell to conduct a thorough investigation to determine what employ-~ ment standards would be fair, and what d:ferentials, if any. should be permitted between the North and the South and between large and small communities? After gathering the facts Congress then might have enough contidence in its judgment to set forth in law the specific conditions under which interstate industries shall operate. Well-considered legislation of this character, think, would be much more assured of enactment.

Its houses inflammable thin wood and paper Contrary to a popular belief, aerial bombs are not able to topple buildings like our skyscrapers, but they could spread fire and destruction through Tokyo's crowded streets. Apparently that fact never was brought home to the Japanese until recently.

Air defense drills were officially good-naturedly ed out by the populations Japanese cities in a spirit of good, clean fun. ‘Then came the Chinese air raid on Japanese | Formosa and all Japan was immediately thrown into a state of intense alarm.

Meanwhile, the Government encountered un- expected] tiff resistance when it presented its war mcebilization measure in the Diet. Feeling ran so high that the confusion forced a recess. Apparently. the Japanese, who have not been inveded within historical times, are at last beginning to realize what war means. The civilian population is beginning to think of itself as the receiving end of an attack. And it is plain that it doesn't like it. That kind of medicine is so much easier to give than to take More than 2500 women and children have been led during bombardments and bombings of Madrid, demonstrating that the law which makes civilians war's greatest sufferers has not been repealed or | even amended.

Shepard were appointed as the city auditing committee The Federal Food for Alaska, Judge R. A. Gunnison, had announced that, until further notice, potatoes would be sold by dealers as substitute for wheat flour.
