says
Bob Burns

There's one thing that can cause
more hard feelin's than anything
else I know Of-and that's hOldin
a grudge. Two fellas will get MAD
at each other and let things SIM
mer and simmer. Now that's no
way to act. They oughta square Off
and settle it and then be friendly
or settle it some other way.
Just like my Aunt Boo did when
she was gettin' ready to marry
Uncle Fud. She says "Fve got all
my bridesmaids picked out. First,
there's Luta, and :" Uncle Fud
says "Wait a minute. 1 thought
you didn't like Luta,' and Aunt
Boo says But I'm going to be mar
ried in yellow and you know what
thatT do to Luta's complexion"

CREDIT

AS better times reappear credit is be-
coming easier throughout the United
States, a business bureau reports. 1t
is easier for the individual to borrow
500 or 5000 or $500 than it was six
months ago. Of course, the borrower is
still required to pay back what he bor-
rows, which brings up a jumbled
thought: When the government (Which
is the people) lends money to the people
(who are the government), who pays
back the money? The answer, of course,
is: the people.

"HUMANIZING WAR"
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
Flying has brought new horrors in
modern war;" Premier Chamberlain told
the British House of Commons (recent-
ly). Thereupon he proposed an interna-
tional code to cover bombardments from
the air :. This is directly in line with
Secretary of State Hull's recent demand
for the humanizing of war practices.
All war is inhuman But this is no
time for hair-splitting. If we can't abol-
ish War-and we don't seem able to do
that-perhaps We can minimize some of
its more barbarous practices, even if it
proves impossible to end them altogether
Time was when soldiers made a show
of parading the bodies of babies on the
points of their spears. Wells were poi
soned. The wounded were finished off
with brutal pike thrusts. Prisoners were
blown from the muzzles of cannon. Such
things were an accepted part of war
Today they are taboo, and civilized ma
tions pretty generally observe the ban.
1t isn't much, but it is something
Civilization, if there is such thing,
should begin to work on this problem
now. As a first step, it should act on
the Hull-Chamberlain suggestion.-New
York World Telegram.

sispunJa YllM lY6noa s6sIlAId v :uopesII :

coasts are growing fewer, year by
year: the branch railroad lines that
led to remote watering places, sum-
mer resorts, and remote little cities
are giving up the struggle, one by
one. The triumph of the auto is
getting more and more complete.
As it does so, we get more and
more dependent on the auto.
Which means that something
leisurely is going out of life. We
like speed, and we are getting it
in steadily increasing quantities.
the only trouble is that the slower
pace is becoming impossible for us.
We have to use speed whether we
like it or not.
Well live through it, of course,
without much trouble. Certainly we
wouldn't go back to the pre-auto-
mobile age, even if we could. But
we might live a little more pleas
antly if we could manage to save
a little of the old way of doing
things.
1t isn't altogether a good thing
to rely too much on any one of our
machines. We are placing ourselves
more and more at the mercy of the
automobile. 1t is a pricesless SER
yant-but it may curn out to be a
rather eXacting master.

Alaska Mary Ann Getting National Recognition

Alaska's famous trout fly, the Alaska Mary Ann, is spreading out and getting national recognition.
 First report of her prominence comes to Frank Dufresne of the AL aska Game Commission from Ted Van Thiel of Eddie Bauer's Sport Shop in Seattle.
 We are creating an Alaskan Mary Ann after your model that will fair ly make trout leap out of Alaska streams to take it. Van Thiel writes. The fly is to be made in both the wet and dry pattern.
 Other working models have gone to Weber and other large fly man. ufacturers in the East and they are expected to have them ready for this spring.
 The Mary Ann is a purely AL aska fly, conceived and adapted from the old Kobuk or Polar Bear book by Dufresne who first got the idea from the Eskimo fishermen of the Arctic.

 In Tokyo, anxiety over the pro- posed United States naval expan- sion was expressed by the Japanese naval office spokesman, who said, This proposal must be regarded with serious consideration. With this plan, America and Great Bri- tain would have undisputedly the greatest navies in the world, but no country menaces them. Perhaps they think it necessary to set up a sort of police force to guard world peace, but as it stands, their policies incite other countries to take up the burden of a naval race.'

LEAHY IMPLIES ALASKA SHOULD BE BEPR0TECTED
Admiral Pooh-Poohs Any Chance for Enemy to
 Capture Hawaii

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Admiral
 William D. Leahy. Chief of Naval
 Operations, told a Congressional
 Naval Committee today. .There is no danger of any enemy capturing
 the Hawaiian Islands as long as the fleet remains intact, but the establishment of foreign naval base. in Alaska would be very troublesome
 Admiral Leahy said the Navy had mo plans for joining with any other nations lin possible war
 The statement was made at the fourth day of hearings on the pro- posed $8O0,O00,00O naval expansion program and constituted flat de- nial of the existence of any such alliance.
 Leahy made the statement to clarify his position on world arma- mentS when Chairman Vinson call ed attention to the demands of the Senate yesterday for elucida- tion on the Administration foreign policy.
 Senator William E. Borah had given the impression that there was a "tacit alliance" between the United States and Great Britain to build up their respective navies for common benefit.
 This building program said Admiral Leahy, lis justified by the need to provide for naval strength of the same proportion provided for in the Washington-Lo London Nav al Treaties under a five -five-three ratio"
 Admiral Leahy said President Roosevelt had told a press confer ence that his foreign policy was very clear to most people.
