took them back to camp and held them several hours as prisoners.
 The Paraguayans were not sup posed to be in the neutral zone, first of all, and second they were expected to keep their hands off the neutral observers, whose job of patrolling the bug-ridden spot was bad enough in any event
 Officials here could only smile. Department underlings suspected that wandering patrol of Para guayan Indians had piled upon the Uruguayan neutrals in full belief they had captured a pair of Bo- livian spies The Indians were not well posted in international law, and cared less about such minor matters as neutral zones.
 However, when the news got out of the frightful indignity, Yankee members of the neutral commission joined with the others in sizzling protest to Paraguay.
 It was just one of those little by plays in the foreign service that help to break into the motonony of fly-swatting.

KEEPING INSURANCE RATES DOWN

With rain dropping on the roofs it isn't particu- larly suspicious time talk about fire prevention. It's more apropos to go duck hunting.
 But Fire Prevention Week which is observed this week great deal than watching if the roof catches on fire Most of us are aware that with the efficient fire department which Juneau boasts roof fires, now quenched by rain are our minor troubles.
 Fire starts in a great many other places and this week is an excellent time to check up. For example hows the furnace working9 Are your light plugs all in good shape2 How about that bum light cord you have been going to replace for all these weeks? Is your radio in top condition do know that there is some wiring that should be repaired?
 There few households in which some of these conditions do not exist It is human nature to put off getting things fixed up until absolute necessity demands it. But those the sort of things which fires Any fire chief will testify that 95 percent of the fires due to plain negligence the part property owners We are all guilty of neglecting things until force of circumstances cause us to take action.
 That is one of the primary purposes of Fire Pre- venuon Week-to awaken all of us to the need of guarding against fire hazards in our own homes and places of business.
 This week is good time any to do little checking up. The precautions take this week may the difference between fire loss later and se- curity Let's do a little checking Ip right now Let's make that repair the furnace, replace those bad light cords fix those inadequate sockets end the score or reof other little things which we always let slide until they burn out The next time they burn out it may be disastrous Why not take action before it is too late?
 How about adequate insurance? Have you got your real and personal property properly protected against that unknown foe-fre? With the modern insurance facilities need take the chance of being without insurance without adequate coverage Those things think about this week as well as every week of the year.
 It is by full cooperative effort on the part of every citizen of Juneau in this connection that fire nsur- rates be kept at the very satisfactory rates which now prevail Juneau is particularly fortunate in having excellent insurance rates By keeping down the fire loss those, if not better rates can be main tained
 It is matter of dollars and cents in the individual pocket to pay attention to Fire Prevention Week Why not protect our holdings. families and the entire community by paying little attention right now to the little things which cause fire?
