 Leaving Washington hospital after appendi- cits operation said he had plenty of trpes left to fight the "pigdog" Puerto Rican assassins who during his illness, had attempted to kill Cover nor Banton Wnshp with their "shoot-guns" at Ponce And the Mayor added:
 "If I could speak the English by the books would blow their nose, by damn am"

Two years ago when the Wilcox bill was passed by Congress authorizing frontier air bases machinery was started toward establishing Army base in Alaska. Several examinations made of the region near Fairbanks and surveys made in other places in the Territory but, like all movements of such nature the action slow. The primary reason was that the Wilcox bill carried appropra- tion Since then some money has been allotted for the national defense program and the start in Army defense on the coast has been the construction of McChord Field at Tacoma, under way,
 All the while Alaska has not been overlooked, and during the last week two it jumped back onto the scene in earnest This was brought about with the flight to the north of Col Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War.
 Col Johnson's mission, as he very frankly stated, was to look possible sites in the Territory for Army air base development The visit of the assistant Army chief probably is the real key to Army air eX- pansion in the north. Much of the preliminary in formation previously been obtained great deal more was gathered by Col. Johnson and his party on their trip 5000 air miles of the north Indications are that by the time McChord Field is finished in Tacoma perhaps before, the Army will be ready to start construction in Alaska.
 Whether the major base will be located near Fair banks has generally believed the coast remains to be seen. Col Johnson greatly impressed with the site available at Point Icy Strait He said this latter location being given very serious consideration and that it might reach the point of Gustavus getting the call Fairbanks for the major base

Jan CARRIER, a South Carolina

dance orchestra leader in Hender-
sonville several years ago, and is
now director of one of the nations
outstanding musical organizations,

here, he quickly rose to national
prominence as an orchestra con-

LOVE LESSON-SERMON
TOPIC OF SCIENTISTS

Love" was the subject of the
lesson-sermon in all Christian
Science Churches and Societies
on Sunday, January 80.
The golden text was from
John 4:16: eve have known and
believed the love that God hath
to us. God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him."
Among the citations which
comprised the lesson-sermon was
the following from the Bible ::
Sing, o daughter of Zion; shout,
o Israel; be glad and rejoice with
all the heart, o daughter Of Je-
rusalem. The Lord thy God in the
midst of thee is mighty; He will
save, He will rejoice over thee
with joy; He will rest in His love,
He will JOY over thee with sing
ing" (Zeph. 3:14, IT,
The lcSson-SermOn also includ-
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
"Thc theory Of three persons in
one God (that is, personal
trinity or tri-unity) suggests poly
thcism, rather than the one ever
present | AM. Hear, o Israel,
the Lord our God is one Lord"
The everlasting | AM is not
bounded nor compressed within
the narrow limits Of physical hui
mainly, nor can He be understood
Alright through mortal concepts.
The precise form of God must be
of small Importance in COMPARE
son with the sublime question,
What is infinite Mind or divine
Love? No form nor physical COM
bination is adequate to represent
infinite Love-" page 1861

The Japanese are attempting to
