LONDON, June 20. - Unless my
memory is playing a prank, Fred
erick J. Perry of the English Davis
cup team was quoted not so long
ago as saying that Japan, and not
Australia, France nor America, was
the nation he and his comrades
feared in international tennis.
And, unless my eyesight is play
ing a prank, Mr. Perrys rating Of
the Japanese is, like the death of
you know who, highly exaggerated.

Breaks Into "Big Time"
It was then that Dillinger
earned for himself a reputation
in "big-time" crime.
Leading an assault on the
prison, he aided several Ct his
pals in cutting down the length
Of their sentences by the simple
process Of sticking guns in the
faces Of the guards and going
through the gate.
Shortly after this he was caught
in Lima, Ohio, for a bank robbery
and was placed in the little Jail
there to await trial.
Not to be outdone, some Of his
friends. Harry Pierpont, Jack
Mackley and Russell Clark, de-
cided that they should return his
favor to them in helping them to
get away from the law by taking
him out Of his cell.
Shot Down Sheriff
They calmly entered the Lima
jail and demanded Of Sheriff
Jesse Sarber that Dillinger be
turned over to them and when
the sheriff argued the point they
murdered him in cold blood.

murderous gang were front page

ly destroy them unless the garden CT has discovered and is taking care of them. A beginner is well advised if he sows his flowers in a seed bed, in rows which can be marked. The bed should be sur rounded by wooden curb two inches high, which will keep rain from washing over it.
 When the seedlings appear they will be recognized because they are in the row, and can be identified from the label. The gardener can become familiar with the appear ance of the different flowers in the seeding stage. He will then be equipped to SOW them broadcast in the border another year with the assurance of being able to tell flow CT seedlings from weeds.
 Perennial flower seeds should al- ways be sown in a seed bed. They should be transplanted as soon as they have formed their true leaves and planted in rows to grow through the season before being placed in the border.

GARDEN OWNERS. WORK TO M AXE
 CITY BEAUTIFUL
Flower Lovers Enter Into Spirit of Clean-Up Week
 to Plant, Dig, Weed

Juneau home owners and garden enthusiasts have entered whole heartedly into the spirit of clean up week and, with sunshine to make the work pleasant as well as profitable, have been busily digging, planting and weeding for the last few days. The results of this work will be appreciated by visitors to the city this summer as well as the less fortunate residents who have no garden space.
 For the assistance of those who are beginning gardens for the first time this spring a few suggestions as to why seeds, fail may be in order.
 Reasons for Seed Failure
 Failure with annual flower seed is likely to be due in most cases to one of two causes-the time they take to germinate and the tininess of the seeding plants.
 Annuals which germinate quick ", Sucn as zlnnlaS, Wnlcn come up in a few days, are easy for most garden makers. But larkspure take fifteen days; petunias, twenty; sweet peas, fifteen, and in general there IS a great variation in the time it takes flower seeds to start growing, with many varieties talk ing much longer than the begin ner is likely to expect.
 Consequently, many a sowing is given up for lost before the seed has had time to grow, and when the seedlings do come they are not discovered.
 Tiny flower seedlings are easily destroyed by the wash of rains across the bed. They are subject to other hazards which will usual

JUNEAU SHOWS CLEANUP WEEK

Residents Urged to Take Advantage of Free Haul

With three days of Clean up Week" nearly over, great improve ment in the appearance of Ju- neau is already perceptible and those in charge of the campaign are enthusiastic over the co-opera- tion shown by residents and busi- ness people of Juneau in entering into the campaign to make Juneau a clean and beautiful place in which to live" Rev. John A. Glasse, chairman, said today.
 Yards of many private residences have been cleared of unsightly deb ris. Odds and ends of rubbish which had collected during the snow bound winter months have been carted away by the free trucks supplied by the city. Both adults and children have been busy piling up boxes, sacks, brush, all manner of useless things which have clut- tered up the city, and have tele- phoned to the City Clerk for free trucks to come and take it from the curb for disposal, according to information from that office and the committee members this after noon.
 Boy Scouts turned out after school on Monday and Tuesday and worked with a vengeance to clean up the lot on the corner of Frank lin and Second Streets that has been an eye-sore to passers by for some months, with the result that it no longer offends the sight but is an adequate playground for the neighborhood youngsters

They were packed back into the hills and suspended by ropes from trees well above the danger of being covered by snow. The food tried out first orphan lawns then on goats then on full grown deer. They liked it and came back for more
