HEART AND HOME: This con- figuration is most adverse to the interests of women. It is well to defer any business matter which requires the signing of le- gal papers. It is not a favorable sway for making any sort of a con- tract.

Japan has built up her invasion plan over a leng period of war with China. She has perfected her ability to land small fighting forces, to establish beach bases, and to invade from there. She knows all the intricacies of sea supply been using this method of supply for her armies for more than 10 years. Japan, in short, has all the physical and menta]l background necessary for an invasion of Alaska and our own Northwest. In the East we are inclined to wonder what will lie between us and Germany in case of a Russian collapse. Many observers feel that England would be vulnerable—and after England, they wonder, what | would come? On the West Coast they are asking the same question.

A, Ahlquist and J. S. Howard, radio operators, who had been in Juneau at the local station left on the Alameda for Cordova where théy had been assigned to duty. Mr. Howard was accompanied by Mrs. Howard and their child. After being absent from Juneau since 1917, when he enlisted tn the U. S. Army for service in the World War, Floyd Gibson returned here on the Alameda. He served with American forces during the war and won the rank of Lieutenant. Mr. Gibson, who was formerly employed at the C. W. Young Co. was spending the day greeting old friénds. F. W. Bradley, President of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com- pany, was to arrive on the Princess Mary on jiis annudl trip of inspection of the company property. F. A. Hills, of the Chichagof Gold Mining Company, and Mrs. Hills, arrived in Juneau on the Ambassador from the mine No first class mail arrived in Juneau aboard the Alameda and seven days’ accumulation was expected either on the Princess Mary or on the Jefferson. The Princess Mary was due in the evening and the Jefferson the following day. For the convenience of the public. the post office general delivery window was to be open from noon until 1 o'clock on Sunday. A gay crowd of high school students attended the first schoel dance of the year, given by the Senior Class the night of October 13. The hall was attractively decorated with the high school colors. A number of guests from Deuglas and alumni attended the affair. Fresh from a hurried campaigning trip covering some of thé Intetior and Westward districts, Delegate Dan Sutherland arrived here on the Northwestern and was to open his drive for re-election in the First Division. After having made a hit on Gasttheau Channel, at the Fair and in other appearances, Lang’s Joy Babies, with Mother Lang, left on the Northwestern for Ketchikan to play a ten-day engagement. Mrs. Lang, who had charge of the five juvenile performers, announced that she expected to return next season and go to the Interior. Weather was fair, with a maximum temperature of 47 and a mini- mum of 43. frr e Daily Lessons in English % 1. corbon WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, “Mr. replete in humor.” Say, “was replete WITH humor OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED: Marshmallow.
