MEMORIAL DAY
A GRIM REMINDER

Throughout the nation, Americans
will join Sunday in tribute to the ma
tons war dead Unstemmed by time,
tears will stand in the eyes of mothers
and fathers, brothers and sisters, who
sent their boys off to war-to make the
world safe for Democracy!
Now, with war clouds again pressing
ominously close to the horizon in many
countries, that catch phrase has grim
sound, like a joke from the mouth of
skull.
Let us remember this, on Memorial
Day. The greatest lesson we can learn
from the war dead is that they fought
for peace The greatest tribute We can
pay them is to work for peace.
Do away with the drums and trumpets
that dress war up in gaudy garments.
Tear aside the veil that has shrouded
Show wholesale destruction as it is, a
grinnng, toothless skull in field of
mire and slush. Let the world know that
war is not thing of honor, but thing
of dishonor. Drive home to other poten-
tal war dead the realization that, II
they fight, they will give their lives for
something they know nothing about
to satisfy the vanity and greed for pow
er of a few overstuffed politicians who
stay hundreds of miles away from the
scene of battle.
The greatest tribute we can pay on
Memorial Day or any other day to our
dead soldiers is to strive for the thing
they died for-peace on earth They
died for it-and failed. If we live for
it, we may not fail.

Added to the features of Juneaus Memorial Day celebration will be the playing this evening of the Cas- tineau Channel League baseball game originally scheduled for Sun day, but which was postponed to this evening when rains most O. yesterday left the grounds too wet.
 But, nothing in respect to the contest has been changed but the day, unless, perhaps the Moose and Islanders will be even more eager to fly at each others threats by tonight. The Moose still have their opening-day revenge to take from Douglas, both managers are still figuring on the same line-ups, with the same hurlers set to take the hill.
 The fracas is still figured to go nine innings, and the same starting time, 5:30 o'clock, is set, with the game to be played at the same place, Firemen's Park. The weather man may have had an eye to just how well the game would fit into Gas tineau c h ann Is Memorial Day program when he sent his rain clouds around yesterday.

BRAzIL'S BOSS SMILES THEN
 CRACKS WHIPS
By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Specialist

NEW YORK, May 31. - When tand if President Vargas of Brizil repays President Roosevelts visit in June, the American capital will nave the unusual experience of meeting a real dictator-one fresh from an exhibition of strong-arm tactics.
 Vargas just applied the big-stick to one of the chief lieutenants-- General Flores de Cunha, Governor of the important state of Rio Gran de do Sul The Generals sin was apparently preparing to support for the Presidential election next year a candidate not approved by the boss. Vargas virtually stripped da Cunha of executive authority.
 Man of Action
 That's the way he works. Leader of country which has the third largest area in the world following Russia and China), he is man of action and few words. Few have learned his inner mind, which has been likaned to an underground river, flowing to an unknown end.
 Fifty-one, swarthy, smiling, Var gas displays a velvety blandness which bellies his dictatorial charac- tertistics. Big in mentality, he is small of stature-barely reaching i've feet four inches. He will look like a schoolboy beside the towering American President.
 Rode in on Revolt
 The Brazilian Napoleon came in- to power through an armed upris- ing in l930 As dictatorial head of the provisional government estap- lished by the revolution, he wrought new republic during four years of apprehension and social tumult marked with an unsuccessful coun- ter-revolution in Sac Paulo.
 He gave his country fresh con- stitution, and was elected first con- stituticnal president of the second republic. This constitution char tered new social order, identified rather vaguely as liberal democ- racy". AS an indication of the trend, women won equal status with men, and workers were safeguarded against summary dismissal, long hours. low wages. and want in ill., ness and old age.
 Vargas is credited with having promoted good feeling with foreign countries, especially the United States, Argentina and Uruguay.

'Ye||-PrOOf' Jail Stops R0Wdies'

SALERSVILLE, Ky, May 31. - Magnolia County officials used to have their troubles with drunks.
 They considered it lark to tipplc freely on Saturday nights. get ar rested and spend the weekend in sleeping it off.
 They burned the bedclothing. shouted at passersby and had in- tramural fights.
 Finally officials got sore.
 They built a new jail--designcd especially for weekend rowdies.
 It's small building, this new lookup, built of railroad ties.
 It's too far from the road for the prisoners to yell at anybody.
 Instead of windows, 1t has tiny ventilation slits near the flood. If prisoner wants to see outside. he has to lie down and squint.
 If he wants to sleep, he takes the shelves that have been built around the walls instead of beds.
 The drunks don't like to go to jail now. The result is most of them keep sober or out of reach of the arm of the law on Saturday nights

SILLY QUERIES AT BALL CAME

If You Don't Understand, Girls, Act Wise-Don't
 Spoil Romance
By JOAN DURHAM AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK. May 31.-One of the cardinal virtues of the modern wo- man, says Ford Prick, president of the National Baseball League, is that she knows how to behave at a baseball game.
 Ladies Day" which has grown to be an institution with many base ball leagues, has brought about this innovation, he says.
 Pressed for dos and don'ts on the subject of how a feminine fan should behave at a baseball game, MT Prick contributed a number of the following Pap sports car- toonist, rounded out the list:
 Dent complain when your part ner thrusts bag of peanuts at you at the very beginning of the game. Hold them in reserve. There are such things as "extra innings" in baseball--and dinner may be long time off.
 In Case of Argument
 Don't be surprised if your escort engages everybody within yelling distance in conversation. Tn case of an argument walk don't run 7. to the nearest exit
 Every fan has bis favorite spot. And your escort is likely to pick out the most uncomfortable place on the field-where there's every thing from sun to soot in your eyes. Whats more he'll expect you to like it.
 If you must ask questions, be sure to ask the right ones. It's all right, for instance, to ask about the batting averages of some of the outstanding players. of he says any of them had 300 or more, turn on that entranced expression that gets him-and leave it on). But keep in mind that many romance has been blighted by the wrong question at the wrong moment.
 Join in Outbursts
 Join in all outbursts of noise, being careful to keep in harmony. tThat means don't yell for the op- posite team. But it's perfectly all right to clap, whistle or otherwise try to unnerve the opposing pitcher lor ride the umpire)
 Stand When Others Do
 Stand up when everybody else does. But before starting to leave the ball park be sure the game is over. tThere's the so-called big stretch" during the seventh inning when superstition demands that the home team crowd stand. But the game is far from over then. There are at least two more innings to come)
 If you should happen to catch the ball when it comes into the grandstand, by all means hold on to it. In case you don't know it, although. strictly speaking, that's against the law, it's an old base ball custom)
 And last, but far from least, never suggest leaving the game. For one of the maxims in baseball is that anything can happen.
