very serious attacks of distemper,

worse than usual summer for fleas,
the mild winter having left many alive
that would otherwise have been winter
killed. However, fleas present COM
paratively simple problem.
Cleanliness In kennels and runs,
frequent grooming Of dogs, the use
of good flea powder or insect spray
and disinfectant dip If necessary
will eliminate fleas Laryngitis, which
Is very prevalent now in both kennels
and among house pets, presents more
serious problem.
A dry, hacking cough, slight
temperature and lack of interest
in food are the usual symptoms.

quential preliminaries and were
treated as such. In between races five
bands. including the 130-piece Univer-
sity of Indiana outfit. maintained a
steady stream of tunes. 1t was a
glorified county fair.
Comic Touch to Pageant.
At the end of the sixth race the
air suddenly grew electric. The thou
sands pushed and showed to the
ticket windows at the earliest moment
and then sought vantage points to
watch the greatest show in racing.
Twenty minutes before the horses
were due on the track. the Indiana
band put on brilliant marching and
musical show on the tanbark course
in the infleld.
There was comic touch, too, when
two horses, cloaked in gold and red
cloth, were led onto the track after
the Indiana bands show. On the backs
OF the horses were men, finely garbed
in page-boy habiliment and each
bearing a huge silver trumpet. They
rode out, turned, and faced the grand
stand. At signal, they raised their
lips to the trumpets to herald the
approach of the Derby horses.
But with the first blast one of the
horses, frightened. bucked and nearly
unseated his rider, who promptly
dropped his silver trumpet and mex
pertly grabbed at the saddle. The
horse looked as if he we're about to
run away, but attendants grabbed the
reins near the bit and the two page
boys ingloriously were led from the
arena.
Riot Narrowly Averted.
The incident was forgotten q mo-
ment later. however, when the 10
Derby horses were led from the pad
dock onto the track. The Chief was
first, walking with one Of the two
lead ponies, and the five bands merged
to play MY Old Kentucky Home"
as the crowd stood bareheaded. Then
began the parade to the post.
For four and one-half minutes the
Derby stars bucked and jumped out
of their stalls. The crowd stood on
its feet, ready to roar at the start. but
there still was another Sidelight.

6 PERCENT FAVORABLE VOTE NEEDED IN TUESDAYS ELECTION

Next Tuesday when taxpayers of Juneau go to the polls to the special election to pass on the proposal of issuing bonds in the total amount of sl4 400 it will be necessary for 65 percent of those voting to be in the affirmative if the bond issues are to be approved.
 There will be five propositions the ballot and the voters are called upon to give their verdict on each separately but 65 percent must be in favor on each of the propositions
 Tuesdays vote is going to be limited at best. Only those taxpayers whose names appear upon the tax assessment roll are privileged to vote. For example where property is held by corporation, the corpora ton cannot vote. If property is on the tax roll in the name of husband and wife both cast ballot but if it is in the of but person only that person vote. regardless of the true ownership it is explained by city officials
 In view of this fact the total vote is not going to be large. Thus it is vitaly important that every person whose appears the tax roll get out and vote next Tuesday in order to have true rep resentation of the citys taxpayers
 And it is well to bear in mind that 65 percent of those voting must be in favor if any all the pro- positions to be approved In other words assun- ing that 800 votes cast, it would be necessary to 325 of those votes in favor for proposition to be approved.

 For the information of voters the following are the propositions you will find the ballot Tues day:
 l. s484o0-To provide terminal facilities for the proposed small boat harbor. -s~-- 2 $658o0-For regarding and paving Willoughby Avenue from its intersection with Front Street at Winter and Ponds to Twelfth Street. Twelfth Street to Calhoun Avenue and Calhoun Avenue to it's inter- section with Xon Street at the end of the present . paving at that location Also South Seward and Ferry Way.
 ; 3. s5,000-For regarding and paving sidewalks. 4 S19200-For installation of sewers principally Willoughby Avenue and South Franklin Street. 5. s3.000-For purchase of right of way The total figure involved is 14l400 which, if approved will raise the cty's total bonded debt to 379OO only slightly than half of the ten per- cent of it's assessed valuation to which it may bond under the law
 In view of Juneaus steady growth, it should not be hard for Juneaus taxpayers to put their of approval every of the five propositions next Tuesday and thereby themselves that 45 percent

 Had she contented herself with merely raising the bars against future Jewish immigration she would have had some ground, at least, which to stand. She could have argued with reason that she lacks foodstuffs and materials for her native born. She might even have pleaded inability to assimilate more than certain proportion of given and called quits of the present date Certainly we Americans could hardly have criticized her on that for ourselves have excluded the Japa- and other Orientas similar grounds.
 But Italy has not done that Some ten fifteen thousand Jews with official consent, have come to make their homes in that country since the World War. Now they have been given six months in which to clear out.
 Where they go? Nobody knows. Already Naz ant-Semitism has created world problem An International Commission is desperately trying to place the victims of German injustice. Now Italy strikes another blow thus further compcating the situation
 Are the exiles going to be allowed to convert their belongings into cash and take it out of Italy? The indications that they will not.

Ordinary family grades were low as $36O and $4 It may be stray ing from the subject, perhaps to wonder why brun- cites should fetch the highest prices for gypsy brides seeing that they dark and a blond gypsy would have scarcity value
 More to the point is the fact that the figures cited are considerably lower than those asked in recent years by parents n the market How much lower brief Associated Press story does not state Students of the subject would have welcomed comparison between this years high of $6.4O and the price for brunette frsts in the basic years 1923-25 Neither does dispatch say whether the decline in gypsy domestic prices due to nervousness over the Central European situation overproduction.
