NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue.Bldg., Seattle, Wash, their though they have little to sell and the product is in great demand Some years ago the government tried to mederate drinking through prohibition and only succeeded in facturers continue to advertise brands even making it worse. Today, moderation is being brought about through scarcity of product and rationing, both voluntary and otherwise, Would-be bottleggers find there is no whiskey abroad for them to import and smuggle in for illegal sale and neither are the in- gredients for the home-made product easy to secure. Tossing all available stocks of legal liquor on the market now certainly would not help things. It would give racketeers in the black market an opportunity to corner enough to create an unwholesome situation and eventually, bring back the rotgut which dis- appeared with prohibition The Turn-Back (Cineinnati Enquirer) One of the most notable bits of fiscal news that has come out of Washington in some time is the report that both the Army and Navy will have money to turn back to the Budget Bureau—and not an in- considerable amount of money, either. The Army will not use $13,163,519,000, of the $71,000,000,000 ailoted to it for the current fiscal year, and the Navy will have about $5,000,000,000 of its allotment left over- the precise figure to be announced during the week. Together, thése sums represent seveval times what our peacetime Federal Government cost us annually The most obvious reason for the “savings,” turn-back, is the fact that appropriations and or THE LIQUOR SITUATION A popular campaign in Washington is the move to force the liquor now stored in bonded warehouses into retail outlets, Senater Walter F. George pro- poses cutting the length of time liquor may be held untaxed in bond from eight to four years. The effect | would be to flood the country for a short time and then pave the way for bootlegging and black market sales by who would be hoarding the whiskey Apparently the thought behind the campaign is that the big liquor producers want to cause an artificial shortage. This, however difficult to understand since the only reason for such a move would be to get more for the product and liquor is under a price ceiling. Probably the chiel interest in the policy of | doling out the supplies in an effort to make existing | stocks last for the duration is the thought of per- petuating the manufacturers’ brands and by so doing | keep themselves in a position to do business after the | war. This is borne out by the fact that these manu- consumers Nashinglon fi“:“h;m (Contxnfiefl uom Page One) cause living on a when it comes to cratic convention.

Astrologers emphasize the need for careful methods in business to pre- vent future difficulties. NATIONAL ISSUES: Evil por- tents of widespread gossip and, hasty criticisms are discerned by estrologers. The tendency to find fault will be encouraged by fifth columnists while the stars are pos- | in aspects disturbing to the| | American mind.

MODERN ETIQUETTE ® roprgra rEE e e e e e ettt} Q. Is it all right for a wife to accept an invitation to dinner, when both she and her husband are invited, and it is impossible for the husband to attend? A. No. It would show more consideration for her to decline, as an acceptance would mean arranging for another dinner partner for her. Q. When wearing an evening gown, should a woman wear gloves during the entire evening? A. This is optional. She may remove them and check them with her coat if she prefers. Q. If a double ring service is used, does the bridegroom buy both rings? Children born on this day should be superior in mental powers. In- ventors, musicians and writers be- long to Sagittarius.
