DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
 By
 EDISON R. WAITE, Shawnee, Oklahoma,

E. P. Gosling, Advertising manager of the Bangor (Me,) ) Daily News, says:
 Advertising to be useful and productive must be con- secutive. It is the day after day repetition of the message that finally gets it over to the people. Readers are not sold on a product the first time they read about it and until the message has been thor oughly implanted in the minds of the readers it does not bear fruit.
 "I always like to think ot advertising in this way. The newspaper having gone into the home for five or ten or more years becomes an old and valued friend. It is well comed every issue because it brings to the people news and happenings of the country and world at large. Therefore when advertising appears ir a good newspaper it is just the same as if the newspaper took the advertiser by the hand and brought him into the home as an old friend and said, Here is a new friend that want you to know and

AIR BASES FOR ALASKA

Passage of the Wilcox mill tary air base bill by congress is a victory for the Hearst newspapers, which since the first of the year have urged air protection for the rich AL aska territory.
 The Wilcox bill provides for the establishment of adequ- ate army airports throughout the United States and in AL aska.
 The inclusion of Alaska in the nations defense program was forcefully advocated in these columns.
 Through official blindness, the Washington naval treaty prohibited the United States from fortifying the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, but in a re- cent discussion of future na- val plans, Secretary Swanson announced that should the treaty not be renewed, the navy will consider establish ing a base on those islands, which should be the shield of Alaska, perhaps of the Pacific Coast.
 Washington's agreement not to fortify theAleutian Islands seems incomprehensible as we'll agree not to fortify Pu- get Sound.
 But the agreement was made, and now the United States can only wait until the treaty expires.
 However, the United Sta tes has made no agreement to leave the Alaska mainland

 IN SIGHT AGAIN
Warn Students to Keep Out of Pacifist March
 in California

Los Angeles, April 12.-(UP)- A Ku Klux Klan warning against
 the proposed "anti-war" strike at
 the University of California caused apprehension among college off,
 cials today.
 Three 10-foot crosses, covered with oil-soaked rags were fired on the university grounds last night and thousands of handbills de-
 nouncing communism were distrib-
 uted on the campus. A placard near one of the em-
 blems said:
 "We invite all American-born
 Protestants to join with us in a
 mighty drive to free America once and for all from alien rule and
 leadership. Silently we have pre-
 pared and are marking time await
 ing the hour"
 It was signed "Ku Klux Klan."
 University officials declined to comment, but Dr Robert Gordon
 Sproul, president of the University of California, who was called here from Berkeley to take charge dur
 ing the pacifist walkout. issued an
 official bulletin warning that "any
 student who take part in the dem- onstration, either as a striker or vigilante, will be subject to disci- pline."

Chicago, April 12-CU.P.) - A minister and a judge, both long on gospel truth" to-day entered the finals of the Izaak Walton Leagues lying contest. Unlike the Burling- ton Liars, Club. of. Wisconsin, where nothing is too preposterous, the Walton. field. day is restricted to fish stories. Dr Preston Bradley, who told about the fishiest of 20 fish stories in the trial heats, used a pulpit delivery. to outdistance his opponents in the. bluegill class. Judge George w. Wood, of Wa terloo, Ia, triumphed in the catr fish division with a piscatorial pre- varication about the diving dog that went. down after a silver, dol- lar and came up with a seven- pound catfish and 40 cents change. ...

Like a boxer lazily teasing a punching bag, Dr Bradley started out with an easy little lie about the Arkansas river fish blown into Oklahoma by a high wind.

 He Did Tell One
 When it came to. the trials he told one about two fishermen who discovered a spot where the fish bit faster than you could pull 'em in. When the anglers had loaded their boat they decided to mark the spot for future use. Say, did you mark that spot back there?' asked the first fisherman when they reached shore. "Suye," said his companion. T put a big chalk mark on the side of the boat right where we caught all these bluegills." The first fisherman looked at him in disgust. You fool" he exploded.

 Perched on a piano stool in the reception hall of the nurses's home at Truesdale hospital. interspersing her remarks with tuneless trills of the keys, Alyce late yesterday told of the surgical adventure that made her normal child, and of her hopes and plans for the future.
