'SECOND CHORUS' IS FEATURE AT 20TH CENTURY Fred Astaire and Pauletfe| Goddard Star in Cur- | rent Attraction As if in answer to a jitterbug's prayer, Fred Astaire, America’s, most popular dancing favorite, has created a new dance, The new routine is danced by | Astaire and his new screen danc- ing partner, Paulette Goddard, in the new Paramount picture, “Sec- ond Chorus,” which is playing at the 20th Century Theatre, featur- ing Artie Shaw and his band, Bur- | gess Meredith and Charles Butter- worth. Astaire fashioned the dance, which is called the “Dig It,” after a song written by Johnny Mercer. “I Ain't Hep to That Step But I'll Dig It,” one of the hit tunes of the new screen entertainment. ‘While in reality it is a gay, Isimplr dance, its steps give ths impression of being spectaculas. But Astaire so devised the dance thatgit can be done even on small- er dance floors, with only a bit of ™7 “ | modification for the more con-‘(('hse‘"n East “;}!‘e Riv servative dance enthusiasts. | _ | For the incorrigible jitterbug, the l, dance, which har alreayd begun to should be a sensation.

All aliens of enemy countries, er 14 years of age, must re-reg- ister during the week between Feb- 0f Sugar Now} There is no need for a rush of sugar purchases in Juneau in an- | | ticipation of a shortage of the| sweet goods, E. L. Bartlett, Secre- tary of Alaska, declared here to- | day. A run on present sugar sup-| plies might cause a serious tem- porary shortage, he warned, where- by opdinary purchases of sugar as needed will assure a permanent supply, he pointed out. Following is a statement by Bart- | lett: “I understand there has been | heavy buying of sugar in Junea. today in anticipation of a ration- ing system. Buying has been on| such a scale as to threaten to de- plete existing local stocks. This is entirely unnecessary. In view of limited transportation facilities now available its effect may be to de-| prive some families of sugar al- together, “There should be no panic buy- ing. If everyone will buy accord- ing to his needs, and according to his needs only, there will be plenty to go around. When and if sugar rationing is instituted quotas will{ be sufficiently large so no one will be short at any time. It is alto- zether probable that under such a quota each householder will have to declare existing stocks on hand so reckless buying now will not mean anyone can keep unneeded reserves, “It is hoped and expected that this heavy buying will be discon- tinued voluntarily, If not, measures will have to be taken to prevent exhaustion of the supply of this food essential. I know Juneau resi- dents will cooperate in a patriotic spirit!” 3. Plan meals to use left-overs for economy. 4. Buy exactly what's needed for week's menus. 5. Cook vegetables with as little water as possible. G. Use hones and water in which meat is boiled for soup. 7, Peel fruits and carcfully 8. Follow recipes carefully. 9. Buy foods in season. Plan o use plentiful and cheap items. 10. Learn the nutritive value of foods. vegetables e NOTICE AIRMAIL ENVELOPES, showing mir route from Seattle to Nome, on sale at J. B. Burford & Co. adv.
