Nazi Prosperity
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 On one count if nothing else the Nazi leaders are entitled to praise In a world marked almost everywhere by grave unemployment problems the Reich has provided jobs for every able and will ing to work In addition, it has brought 100000 aliens into Germany since April of last year to meet an acute labor shortage
 The whole story of this undertaking is not uni formly plea sant reading There is some forced labor There thousands unjustly kept in concentration camps-and so off the register of unemployed. There are tens of thousands, perhaps by now hundreds Of thousands of refugees in foreign countries, driven from the Naz Reich by savage intolerance and hate. They too have been taken off the list of unemployed although many perhaps on the lists of other, more charitable countries.
 Another reason for the Reichs excellent employ ment record is the stringent enforcement of the edict that womans place is in the home-not in office or factory or ship still another of great inn porance the expenditure of vast for military highways arms, ammunition, and other items of preparedness for war Back of this burst of economic activity a tremendous floating debt an un- belevable tax burden a decline in the real incomes of virtually all workers and serious shortage of sumer goods of many kinds.
 Nevertheless, there unemployed in Ger many today. Americans would not want to eliminate unemployment if it required the sacrifices of liberty and justice made in Germany. But unless the de- nocracies of the world do a good deal better in combating unemployment they will find it steadily harder to explain the superiority of democracy dictatorship. For most want jobs and some security immediately than they want liberty and justice and sef-government.

Silk Stocking Sanctions
CNew York World-Telegram)

(NeW York Word-Telegram)
 Du Pont chemists are reported to be secretly per fectng a revolutionary textile fiber as yet nameless.
 The fiber is described entirely different from rayon or anything else now on the market and as so strong and elastic that really proof stockings will presently be actuality.
 Thus, says the Wall Street Journal the fiber may replace real silk in it's one great remaining market hosiery"
 That would be good news to Chiang Kai-shek. Silk is Japan's No. l export commodity, and Japan is already having trouble selling enough goods abroad to finance her imports of munitions and other neces- sties
 It looks as if the laboratories might be about to steal march the foreign offices by imposing eco- homie sanctions on the Orent's aggreSSor.

YESTERDAYS ELECTION

If the rest of the Territory balances up as dld Juneau in yesterdays election it appears today that the total vote for Alaska in this off-year oaotmg is going to equal the of 1886 the last presidential year.
 Ralying in the late hours yesterday afternoon Juneau voters moved the voting places and gave the city total of 15l7 12 more than the l9oo ballots which cast in the 1886 general election When the absentee ballots about one hundred of them are tailed the total will go 1900 It is an excellent record revealing that the voters of this community are alive their responsibility as citi- szens. Also the political organizations are due word sof praise for the fine they did in getting out the vote.
 F
 Z. Although returns thus far are meager for the other Divisions results from the First in yesterdays baoting reveal sweeping victory for Delegate Di- mond which promises to give him greater majority than he rolled up in 1886 when he boiled total of 9665 votes Alaska voters apparently are not unmnd- fu of the very able the Delegate has done during the last six years in Congress.
 Along with giving Dimond handsome vote of 2 confidence, it appears that the political mind con- tinues to be Democratic The complete Democratic ticket for the House in this Division is leading and it appears fairly certain that all four of the Demo- cratic candidates--J. P. Anderson James " Davis, John Mccormick and A. P Walker-will be elected.
 
 in the primary appears to be doing the same thing in the general election He will lead the House ticket by wide margin if the outlying precincts give him the same kind Of vote that he mustered in Juneau and Ketchkan.
 
 The contest for the Senate seat from this Division appears to be the only where has developed. Howard D. Stabler, Republican, went out of the Ju- neau precincts with a hundred fifty vote lead
 
 outlying precincts began coming in Roden began cutting down the margin and within 50 votes of his Republican opponent after Ketchkan and other precincts of the south end of the Division had been tallied. Democrats predicting a Roden victory which is probable if the precincts outside of Juneau continue they have Been going. However, it appears to be the possible contest in this Division

PLAYING WITH FIRE

People often act as though there
were something very queer about a
child's desire to play with matches, or
hover about a fire, poking at it and
"monkeying" with it. AS a matter of
fact, aren't most growupS interested in
fire, in watching the flames, putting a
stick on here and there, waiting with a
bit of irritation for one person to get
through using the poker, in order that
they may take it up?
Fire is a fascinating thing, and it's
not at all surprising that young child
rem are keenly interested in its magic.
They have no idea of the dangerous
nature, and telling them about it has
little effect, because what we say is
just so many words.
How should one handle a child's in
terest in fire? First of all, let's re-
member that it's a legitimate interest,
and that prohibitions will probably only
make child more anxious to try for
himself what he can do with the
matches that he sees adults using so
unconcernedly.
In the case Of the child who has an
interest in fire, who SnatcheS at every
opportunity to play with the matches
that have been forbidden, it is very
often true that no attempt has been
made to treat his interest construc-
lively. Matches have been kept as much
as possible out of his reach, and he has
been bounced on and punished if ever
he did manage to climb up and get
them. If he has gone so far as to
start fire, the excitement that he has
caused made him all the more sure that
here is something worth little trouble
and effort, if grownups get SO thorough
ly aroused.
Once a child has become interested
in matches, We can hardly expect that
his interest will die down of itself,
especially if he has been threatened and
Scolded. But he can be taught to use
matches under supervision. He can be
allowed to help lay and light the fire
when the family goes on a picnic. He
can be given the task of helping to
burn the rubbish, or shown how to keep
a bonfire from spreading. He can be
asked to come and help light the gas
stove, when his mother is cooking.
Only if he has real part in such OPP
erationS can he be expected to feel any
responsibility; he himself must actually
be allowed to use the fire, to have ex-

SIS in NickeLs
Found in Ashes.

Detroit Lakes-An ash pile that
turned out to be a gold mine, yielding
$18 in nickels, was deposited recently
at the local city dump, according to a
story told by Dewey Detlein, tender at
the dump. The ashes-six or seven
tubs in all-were brought to the dump
one afternoon by local man. A hobo,
poking around for old metal walked
over to the truck bearing the ashes as
soon as it arrived. His practiced eye
Immediately spotting some of the
nickels, the tramp fastened to get rid
of the truck driver. Dewey, in another
part of the grounds, noticed the hobo
digging away in the ash pile and went
over to see what he had found Mick
els, Dewey, nickels," the tramp an
swered in reply to a question at the
same time showing any number of
coins. Assuring himself that it was
actually money, Dewey joined the hobo
in the treasure hunt. Soon two young
boys, discovering what the men were
doing made it a fourSome seeking the
nickels. BY night fall, when further
search was stopped the score stood
something like this: the hobo-$3. 10;
Dewey-70c; the two boys-7Oc. The
next day two more dollars in nickels
were picked from the ash pile together
with what the truck driver had sal
vaged. The care taker there said the
coins, showing the signs of having been
through a fire, were sometimes founo
two and three in bunch with charrec
paper clinging to them.
