FATAL FLAW

FATAL FLAW H1cse Nelson Jennings in the New York Sun ) Having the sort of probing eye which saw Under the surfaces of things, he missed No chance to demonstrate the fatal flaw In art nature adding to his list So many noble failures began To feel that mediocrity might be Somehow part of that nscrutable Plan Which leaves all at odds with destiny Faults become almost friendly in the mass And falling short of Godhead be borne Such dcrelictIons we were prone to pass, Seeing how sheer Perfection, like a thorn, Could prick his flesh that might have had more

A Book a Day
Fighting the Indian In the Southwest
 BY BRUCE CAPTION

The plains Indians of the great northwest made war as the knights of old made 1t, as a kind of bloody, chivaldric sport. But the desert Indians of the southwest fought for keeps. They were cruel, vicious and implacable, and the most fear some of them all were the Apa- ches. Paul I. Wellman tells all about them in Death in the eDs- ert."
 Here, as in all honest records of our Indian warfare, there is much material to make an Amer ican hang his head for shame. MT. Wellman makes 1t abundantly clear that we forced war on the Apaches as we forced 1t on other tribes. We tricked them, broke our word with them shamelessly, and asked for all the trouble they ever gave us.
 But what fighters those desert tribesmen were! over and over again, in MT. Wellman's book. we see a band of two or three score braves standing the whole United States army on it's ear.
 The book gives you, too, a new admiration for our own soldiers. II was not the army that tricked and oppressed the Indians; 1t was the politicians and the unscrupuloui grafters who fastened themselve, on the Indian bureau. or sucf honest fighting men as Genera Crooks and General Canby, MT Wel1nnan has plenty of praise.
 This book is a complete resume of those bloody Indian wars .tha' ragged in the southwest through most of the 18th century. That Il still a little-uDderstood chapter iI American history. MT. WellmaI presents it well. i.s. sPubliehed by Macmillan, thu book ig priced at $s. . s

Some days ago commenting on the pav- ing job in Exchange Place and East Main street we mentioned the fact that it would be the first time Exchange Place would be without trolley tracks since trolleys came to the city. The obvious error should have struck the writer in the eye, but didn't. What was intended to be said was that East Main street would be without the tracks, not Exchange Place.

CTS, whose PWA projects got the Harry Hopkins veto, were not. Ickes's men had gone to great pains to let the country know just who had killed them.
 Result: Newspapers through out the country blazed with headlines reading:

RECORD SNOW FALL STACKS
 JUNEAU WALKS
Over Six Inches Reported in Highest October Gov
 ering Since 1917

Juneau awoke this morning to be- hold is streets and walks covered with the most snow that has beer seen]on the ground at any one time in October since 1917.
 Since late yesterday afternoon 6.S inches of snow have fallen, almost 6 inches of that falling between 5 and 9;30 o'clock this morning.
 In Cstohar, 1883, there was record ed an even heavier fall of snow with in 24-hour period-S.6 inches; but continuous melting left little more than a scanty covering upon the ground at any time; whereas the snow that fell last night and this morning stayed.
 The recorded temperature was 24 degrees at 9 o'clock this morning which is the lowest this season.
 Local reactions were various. Gar ages did brisk business, as auto mobiles were equipped with chains, engines thawed out, and cars ven- tured out into the slippery thorough fares.
 Kid-dom Sli6ing
 Juneau kid-dom was up unusually carly for Saturday morning, anG sleds and even skis soon crowded the streets, while they tested out tha '-Jling' properties of the sncw.
 House owners looked at the snow on the steps and sidewalks; then con- c'uded that probably mild tempera- ture would suffice to do the acrk and decided against shoveling.
 The snowfall belt prevails only in the northern part of Southeast Alas ks. fair weather being prevalent i1 Wrangell and unusually fine weather in ketchikan
 Cold Record Broken
 The coldest October weather ever recorded at Fairbanks in the 32 years of the weather bureaus Alas ka existence was checked in today as 28 degrees below zero, smashing yes- terday's record cold by degrees.

 Meanwhile Prince Rupert has had 4.44 inches of rain in the past 24 hours, making total Of 720 inches in tte past 60 hours.
 Kodiak recorded a temperature of 16 above zero.
