made by Mr.. Hughes in the case OF
exemption for dependents. He has
ruled that in cases where wife and

wife is not expected to go to work to
support the family while the hus-

s;ty of practicing economy during
war times. A nation which can ap-
propriate millions for the removal of
senogs and water-hyacinths in IN
known rivers, and for the deepening
of channels in but little-used water
ways, could assuredly afford to spend
billions on the construction of roads
which will be absolutely necessary if
the $4,000 motor trucks the govern
ment has ordered for the war depart
ment are to serve their purpose.
The Society of Automobile Engin-
GERS, in cooperation with the Quar-
termaster's department, has just corl|
pleted set of specifications for mil
itary motor trucks to form the basis
of the competitive bid for the $4,000
machines required for the army.
These specifications are based on,the
: experienced gained from the whoIe4
sale use of trucks on the Mexican
border. They call for larger and
stronger and more expensive truck
than would be necessary were this
type to be used over uniformly good
or average roads. Were our improv-
ed highway system complete, less
stringent specifications for truck con-
struction would be required and mil.
ions would be saved on the cost of
our truck fleet. This saving would
more than pay the interest on the
bonds required to provide for the
construction of the thousands of miles
of improved highways this great
country so urgently needs.-Leslie's.

German women are likely to be in

peace opinion. Suffering from food
shortage and sorrowing over losses OF
their loved ones, they are beginning
to sulk over the continuance of the
war. This coupled with general
WEAKNESS of the war and the desire
for governmental liberalism are the
elements whereon the authorities
here base their belief that peace is
not far distant.

LESLIE is RIGHT THERE.
THE DAY is SAVED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 81
(By special leased wireless and
hunch) - The three distinguished
statesmen of Colorado, Shafroth, Hill
lard and Heating, called on the pres
ident today. When they informed the
private secretary that they had come
armed with wireless from Leslie
Hubbard, Attorney General for Colo
RADIO, the anxious secretary cried,
"And Leslie--does he approve?"
Upon being assured that Leslie did,
the joyous secretary broke the glad
tidings to the chief executive. The
War council was Immediately dismis-
sed, the cabinet meeting postponed,
whilst the three great men of Colo
RADIO We're admitted to inform the
president in person that it was true,
really true, that Leslie Hubbard would
back the president in his attempt to
make the coal trust be good.
"Aye, even more than that" ad-
ded Hilliard, in his usual modest man
ner, Leslie has come right out in
the open, thinking naught of conse-
quences and in an interview printed
exclusively in the Denver Post, de-
clared that he will not only side with
you and support you, in your effort,
but that in event insidious influen-
ces are brought to bear upon you, to
such an extent that you renig, and
;'SsH., .Se .,,~eaIses, he will alone, and un-
aided undertake the stupendous task
of bringing the coal trust to its milk"
eve assure you, Mr.. President, .
supplemented Heating, "That the Lit
tie Giant of the San Juan is with you,
that there is no longer need of the
sleepless nights you have spent for
fear he might not approve, he has
even said, in confidence to me, that
even were he in your place, with all
his years of public experience, his
mental breadth and legal ability, he
could probably have done no better
than you, and now, Mr.. President, in
return for the meek and lowly self
effacement, of this great man, and
in return for the genteel and pain
less way in which we, ourselves have
inserted the knife between your
shoulder blades. we would like to take
back to Colorado, the word from you.
that it is your wish that Leslie Hub
bard, the Little Giant Jackass, of the
Great San Juan should be elevated to
the governors chair, and from thence,
in later years (when Shafroth is not
a candidate) to the heights more
truly worthy of the only American
official who can hand out a decision
every day in the year, not excluding
Sundays and holidays, and always
get those decisions printed in the
paper with heart and soul, and coal
for sale"
The president has doubtless taken
the matter under advisement. The
lines of care have of course left his
face, and his step resumed the buoy
ancy of youth. The glad tidings that
Leslie Hubbard approved of his ac-
tions and would support him have
been flashed to the ends of the earth.
Our foreign allies have all been ad-
vised, and it has been seen to that
Kaiser Bill received the jolt direct.
That is probably why the kaiser is
thinking along lines of peace. All
America may rejoice, but it makes
one shudder to contemplate the fate
that might have befallen this re-
public had Leslie, the Giant Zero,
been off on fishing trip.

Empires Attention Called to 5 Little Ones Who Should Be Remind

Think of it, In Juneau there are five deserving little children who will go without Christmas cheer unless citizens come to their relief
 But that will not happen. The Elm pire knows that mere mention of the fact will cause citizens to come to their relief In former years the Elks have taken it upon themselves to see that all children were taken care of by holding annual Christmas tree exercises.
 This year, however, no provision has been made, other than for chil- dren who happen to be members of some of the churches or other or ders. It must never be said of Ju neau that any single child was left to gnaw out it's heart in misery and longing, for the cheer that will nev- CT come. Those interested in this appeal are asked to call up by phone Miss Alice M Neatch. at the Ju- neau Apartments.
