India Gillespie Moffett Edwards is the lady’s name and she is chair- man of the women's division of the Democratic Na- tional Commitiee. To combat the bourgeois propaganda of the Am- erican Medical Association (your doctor and mine), India proposes to organize the nation’s women in a campaign reminiscent of the chain letter. India would have every woman telephone ten friends and urge each to call ten of her friends de- nouncing the doctors for their campaign against socialized medicine Many good women will undoubtedly be swayed by the idealistic arguments in favor of socialized medicine. Most will not Should India’s helpers phone you, we suggest that you refer the caller to her physician for a look it the facts. And if you, too, are in doubt—phone your own doctor before you embark on a campaign to wreck his profession at your own expenes.

Prince Rupert can well be very interested. Time was when a subject would command much | attention here as we discussed and promoted the advantages of coming as far west as possible so as Prince Rupert's strategic position as an outlet for the 1t north country could be used to the fullest advantage. Of course when it is a matter of con- | necting Alaska with the United States through Brit- ;x.xl\ Columbia, the Prince Rupert aspect may not be of such prime significance. However, such a railway would be of the utmost importance to the whole central interior country and | could not help but redound to the benefit and de- velopment of this port as well as all this area. So the talks at Ottawa, even though they are of a‘“pretty preliminary” character, will be watched with much interest. e Sorry Elmer Could |Not Leave Juneau A gold and silver embossed invi- | tation to Elmer Friend to attend | the 59th anniversary of the found- ing of the Seattle Higk School Cad- et Company Saturday October 14, Korea, and ap- | Was difficult for Mr. Friend, man- ssia have not stir- | 2ging editor of the Empire to re- ment in the fuse. 5 ndent wrote, I But last week was electidn week, oy of returns were coming over the tele- type in the Empire office too fast to let him leave town, Elmer said.

FRENCH ABANDON | ANOTHER BIG POST SAIGON, Indochina, Oct. 16—I#— The French today announced ab- andonment of still another post on the China-Indonesian frontier—the small ou‘post of Nacham. A military spokesman said the Nacham garrison had withdrawn nine miles southeast to Dong Dang, last major French position before the frontier headquarter fortress of Langson, six miles further to the southeast. he spokesman said evacuation of Nacham had keen accomplished without important fighting. Other French sources said Communist- led Vietminh troops had occupied Nacham following the French with- drawal. The report of the abandonment lnf the post came as French of- i ficials said privately it soon might ibe necessary to withdraw French forces from all Chinese frontier ! posts. In the past month the French have abandoned the posts of Dong- ' khe, Caobang, and Thatkhe, leav- {ing some 300 miles of the Chinese ‘ frontier open to traffic by the Viet- minh to and from supply and train. |ing points in Communist China.

Tolstoy, grandson of the great Russian author any social reformer, Leo Tolstoy. He had spent the summer in the Interior as guest of Maj. L. E. Atkins. Count Tolstoy said the most astonishing phenomenon in Alaska was not its wonderful scenery, gas, fisheries, or minerals, but the lack of local self-govern- ment. George Kendler, proprietor of the Alaska Dairy, returned from a business trip to the States. Charles Tuckett of the Coliseum Theatre and Mrs. Tuckett returned on the Northwestern after a five-week trip in which they visited Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco and Seattle. Nick Bez of the Peril Straits Packing Company at Todd was a Juneau arrival from the States. Adolph “Dutch” Hursch of Douglas was the new assistant ot the «240" power plant at Treadwell, succeeding Charles Sey, who had been appointed U. S. Commissioner at Juneau. Douglas was threatened with a morning conflagration, but quick work by residents and prompt assistance from the Juneau Fire De- partment confined the flames to the one house which was destroyed. Sparks ignited roofs of ten other buildings and the city water tank, but these incipient blazes were extinguished. A two-story structure at Sec- ond and F streets was completely burned. The owner. A. F. Grandberg, said it was valued at $2,000 and that there was no insurance. The mailboat Estebeth and fishing boat Wilson, moored on the Juneau side of the channel, hurried across with persons interested in Douglas property. A. M. Bradford left on the Admiral Rogers for Wrangell enroute to Craig, whete he was to be manager of the new Standard Oil station.

If a girl is driving her own care and is accompanied by a man, should he make any offer to do the driving? A. It would be better if he made no such offer. Some women are sensitive about their driving and might think such an offer reflects on their ability at the wheel. Of course, if the woman suggests that the man drive, then he should accept. Q. Is it obligatory that a bride write a note of thanks to someone who has given her a check as a gift? A. Most certainly and, if possible, she should tell the donor to what use she is going to put the money. Q. When two women are introduced, should they shake hands? A. Usually they do not, but it is quite all right if they do. by ROBERTA LEE e e e ) Which is the highest mountain in the Appalachian range? What is the astronomical name for the North Star?
