KEEP YOUNGSTERS AT HOME

In closing the Juneau schools as the result oi several of infante paralysis in this community the Territorial Health Department has acted wisely If all of will cooperate to the fullest with the regu- lations in connection with the closing there is no that the disease not be stamped out in a short time
 Some will say that the action should have been taken last week and perhaps But this IS not the time to be critical that score This is the time to every precaution and keep our children at home.
 Let observe closely those four salient points listed in the closing order
 Keep children their premises
 which means at home.
 Do not allow them to play with other chil-
 dren.
 Do not allow them on the streets at any
 time.
 Do not permit children to attend any pub lie gathering.
 week or two or even month of school out of the life of youngster nothing when compared with the danger of disease Far better that classes be dis continued all winter necessary than that child in this community become crippled or succumb to this sickness.
 The authorities indicate that the situation is not unduy serious But it can be if everyone does not cooperate to the fullest Keep children at home and away from other children

The Presidents Tour
(New York World -Telegraml

Franklin Roosevelt will travel to the Pacific Northwest to have look at the great public works which his administration has built to learn about eco- homie conditions, and to apprase the trend of public opinion
 He will travel as he must surrounded by secret service men to protect him from bodily injury and by newspaper correspondents to chronicle his every word and action Wherever his train stops crowds will be at the station to greet and cheer him. Whenever he steps onto the platform microphones will be showed at him and will click in his face At every stop political leaders and regional government chefains will board his train to impress the local citizens with their own importance, and will ride on to the next stop seated if possible in the Presidents private trying to the free ride by telling him what they think he wants to hear
 
 The political yes-men who surround Franklin Roosevelt perhaps numerous any President has been blessed with
 But far better than most men in high office Franklin Roosevelt has kept the common touch. The Institute of Public Opinion, which accurately forecast his overwhelming reelection in 1886, now reports just as accurately we believe-that a large majority of the people still for the President and his New Deal objectives Incidentally the same Institute by the polling methods has disclosed that ma jorty at the same time dsapprove some of MT Roose- vets policies including lis borrowing spending pro- gram and his abortive court planD
 No small part of the Presidents success in gain ing and holding public support has been his ability as a realistic politician and statesman, to overcome mistakes, abandon methods that fail, and to go the heads political htch-hkers in his search for information and advice.
 Because of his record give little credence to published reports that his tour through the country MT Roosevelt intends to spread political poison against those Senators who opposed the court plan The same Senators voted for practically every other admins tration measure Doubtless some of his courters advising him to do this. But that would be poor politics; and MT. Roosevelt is not poor politician Nor is MT. Roosevelt small and spiteful man. If he he would never have achieved all that he has
 And he must know that to accomplish the mainder of what the majority of the people trust him to accomplish he will have time for cheap political revenge.

TROUBLE IN GERMANY

The real danger of another world war lies not ir the Orient where the Japanese and Chinese actu ally at it, but in Europe Winston Churchill membei of the British Parliament says in recent article in Golfers. The British statesman points the finger di- rectly at Nazi Germany where, he declares, Hitler has built up another great machine and new finds himself in the position of either having to pusf on to actual aggression or become encompassed witt internal trouble.
 It is this latter condition in Germany the English man believes which may Europe from actua war. Interior Germany, he points out is not as calm as the propaganda given the world would indicate The same point is made by Frederick T. Brchall writing from Nuremberg Germany, to the New York Times MT Birchall says:
 On the day which this is written Hit
 Ter and his closest associates are holding anxi-
 ous conferences, the object of which is their
 desire to hold back Fascist Italy from precipi-
 tating Mediterranean crisis which would nec-
 essarily involve the Reich.
 At home the economic situation is diff
 ficult The harvest has been poor and food
 reserves at their lowest ebb
 There is unemployment; in fact there is
 great scarcity of labor that l2 GOO of the
 ArbeitSdienst have been kept away from Nur-
 emberg to help with the harvest But wages
 are low and cannot be raised, and prices are
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-09-27

rising despite all efforts. There is serious shortage not only of foreign foodstuffs but of necessary raw materials, which exchange con- ditions make it difficulty to supply
 This, therefore, is an occasion to mark time. It accounts for the milder display and lack of sensational news at Nuremberg
 But this in no way implies lessening of the efficacy of German propaganda. The circus is still potent whenever the thrills are turned on This was quite clear the other morning when the lads of the Labor Corps had their day When the emotions of hard-boiled foreign journalists were stirred by that display of young manhood and real patriotism, its ef- feet upon the German onlookers could be visualized.
 There is another fact. German propaganda displays are no longer as crude as they were learned something in the last few months They have learned here that the best propa- ganda is that which is the least obvious.
 Nazi propaganda for the eye and ear-it has never relied overmuch on the printed worlds as potent as ever it was It still sways the millions whom it touches and it can arouse them to a frenzy allay their apprehen- sions or nerve them to the old endurance. But it does these things more subtly than it did in the beginning.
 It is apparent that all is not well within Germa 'hile it is unfortunate for the German people it IT urope and perhaps the world.

any time, were these muscles al
lowed to become flabby. After the
arrival of her son, she went right
to work on corrective exercises to
restore the stretched muscles to
normal tone. Today her perfect
measurements are bust, IS inches;
waist, 26 inches, and hips, 81
inches. Without muscular stream
lining she would appear large on
the screen. She is able to keep
her weight at the optimum be-
cause of good muscle tone and no
flabby fat.
According to this poSture-perfect
star posture is even a cure for
weak ankles. Here's the way to
do it: Stand with kneecapS turned
slightly out and with the weight
falling squarely on the ball Of the
feet. This position throws most
of the weight to the outer Dor
ders of the feet, thereby strength
ening ankles and arches. You
might practice the exercise several
times day.
Never stand with the weight on
the heels or on one foot If you
want to keep your figure in lovely
alignment. Always stand as tall as
possible. Stand, sit and walk
beautifully, and you won't need
special exercise.

on money contributed by members
of the tribes in New Mexico and
Arizona, yesterday asked the Sen
ate Indian Affairs Committee to
permit them to adopt a five-point
self.government program, as fol
lows:
Re-establishment Of a Navajo
tribal council ito take the place
of our old council the bureau
arbitrarily abolished" empowed to

extravaganza" in the Indian
service activities to such an extent
that some of our Indians still eat
prairie dogs for lack of food" He
further declared that "our people
are virtually enslaved by the pres

Further charging that the
Indian Service did not provide
proper schooling, Palmer said:
"They teach ms Navajo songs
