GERMANS SEEK SIMPLER MEANS
 OF ATTACKING
Increase Intensity of Fire, Using More Guns, Rather Than
 Trying New A~ms.

WITH THE AMERICANS simplifying of ordnance and unburd- ening of shock troops seem to be two of the principal points upon which the German effort has con- centrated in recent offensive opera tions. They have employed no new arms or munition, but have sought to increase the intensity of fire by larger number of already existing

 A First Aid Class was organized by Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr., who was asked to organize the class by Mrs. P. J. Malone, president of the Juneau Red Cross Chapter, at the Governors House last night. There were about twenty people present who signed up for the First Aid course. And it is thought that more will be present at the next meeting of the class who intend to take the course.
 It is thought that if sufficient number at Thane wish to take the First Aid Course that class may be formed there. Otherwise there will be several people from Thane who will join the class in Juneau.
 Dr. l.. o. Sloane is chairman of the committee of doctors who are delivering the lectures. The other members of the committee are Dr. P. J. Malone, Dr. James P. Mooney and Dr. l.. P, Dawes.

KNOCKS ROAD OWNERSHIP

Noted Italian Authority Says Ten dency After War Will Be
 Railroad Control.

ROME.-Dr. Maffeo Pantaleoni.
 who is considered an authority on
 systems of government, sees great
 danger for European nations in the
 war time tendency toward govern
 ment control of railroads. He says
 that after the war the United States
 will shake off such parasitic ideas" "
 In an interview wiht the Associated
 Press, Dr. Pantaleoni said:
 Government ownership of rail- ways is only one of the many afflic- tons sure to be imposed upon this poor old Europe after the war With the war the government has
 become almighty with us. The gov ernment now does everything and after the war its encroachments will be appalling and bring us near to ruin"
 "The United States is run on diff erent lines, it was founded on other principles, and while it may be harrassed after the war by bogies of government control, it will shake them off. The country is .oo young and strong Parasitic government control ideas attacking it will be no more than lice on a big, healthy dog.
 "If l had never been convinced of the futility of government control. this war would certainly have con- vinced me. I am now sure that the less government nation has the better it is for the prosperity of it's people. A government is always robbed, always too late in what it does, is always betrayed by it's en- ployes.
 The war waste in Italy has been about eight million lire. It is a we'll Known fact that privately owned German railways have always maid greater dividends than those owne3 by the government there. In France the Western railway, as controlled by the government, is a miserable and costly failure.
 "One of the arguments advanced Tn favor of government ownership IS that thereby nation gets steady class of employees who pay debts. raise families, live modestly. and do 'helr work for relatively small pav This is a fallacy, too. The whole world IS ruled by chance. The great est wealth of the world, it's crons iepend on the weather.

ONE SLICE A DAY IS
 4,750 BBLS. FLOUR
CEverYbodv's Magazinel

Suppose each one of the 20.O00.000 families of the United States were to determine to do its bit by saving just one slice of white bread each day-that is, not actually to cut that slice and put it by to become dry and uneatable-but to reduce its bread consumption by one good slice a day. representing about three quarters of an ounce of flour. That would be 15.000,000 ounces of flour. or 937, 800 pounds per day-about 4,750 barrels. The wheat in a barrel of flour av- erages four and one-nalf bushels, so that when 20.000,000 families in the United States save 20,000,000 slices

of bread in day they save about 21,500 bushels of wheat. At sixteen bushels per acre, which is a fair average for wheat production il. the United States, that saving of a slice of bread per family per day saves the annual wheat production of 1850 acres. If that saving were kept up every day for a year by all the 20,000.000 families in the United States. it would add the wheat pro duction of nearly 500.000 acres to send to our allies or the other side of the Atlantic

Our Public Health Service.

In the fields OF preventive medicine
and In all matters In which the public
health Is concerned the public health
service does work which IL not only I'M
surpassed but uncpualed In any coun.

and fully appreciated In Europe. md
recently In one of the chief medical
journals of Europe high praise was
given to the service for the extremely
valuable information with regard to
disease and preventive medicine which
was disseminated by the agency OF Its
bulletins and other publications. In
fact. the United Suites public health
service is unique and Is an institution
OF which this country has every reason
to be proud. 1t remains as an ever

This is essentially IA plea to the
married woman.
You have quit teaching. You are
married and have good home. You
do not have to teach any more. But
the times have changed within the
year. You do not need the money,
but the schools need you.
Many schools in this and other
states will not open next fall because
there are no teachers for them. The
too many instances the young woman
teacher is drifting into other positions
where the work is less eXactiug, and
the dollar return, perhaps, is greater.
She may have forgotten that teach
ers' salaries are going higher, too
Unless the ex-teacher comes to the
rescue now. the children will be the
losers. Nobody else can fill her place.
AS a patriotic duty it is up to the
married woman teacher to get back
into the harness. She may be rusty,
she may not be quite up to her stand
ard of five or ten or 10 years ago, but
If she was ever any good, she can
brighten up wonderfully by few
weeks review at Colorado Teachers
College summer school or elsewhere.
II this is impossible. then by attend
ance Mt the nearest Teachers District

nation what it is today. Must we let
it go backward now for lack of teach
ers? Married women, it is up to you.
