WE SHOULD LEARN TO SPEAK THE
LANGUAGE OF EUROPE K EHl
(By BRUCE CATTON)EH

It is nearly a quarter of a century since
the United States had its first great row
over military preparedness. r,.' ..@
When Woodrow Wilson launched huge
naval building campaign shortly before
Americas entrance into the World War,
the drive received a very mixed reception.
Welcomed by some, it drew bitter Opposi-
ton from others. The average citizen went
along with it and paid the bills without too
much grumbling, but he probably never
did feel that the whole business was really
necessary. And when the postwar Wash
ingtOn conference eased the road ne felt
that things had at last got back to normal
again. e.. .. ..r..a.
Now we are coming up to new pre-
paredness campaign; and this time it is
doubtful that there will be one-tenth OF
the opposition there was before. The world
is a different sort of place now, and the
American people have had an unmistaka-
BILE object lesson or two about the change.
1t is true that we have been spending
huge sums on our army and navy for sew
eral years Both arms of the service are
probably far more nearly ready for war
than at any previous time in American his
tory BIT the president apparently feels
that what might be called normal peace
time preparedness is no longer good
enough. This is a day of uper-armaments,
and no nation that wishes to make its voice
hegEa .aG afford to be outclassed. .. .,
FLOR International relations today are
conducted UDhappily enough, over the
sha.l rGgc of a drawn sword Recent
events in central Europe make it all too
clear that sheer power has the last word
nowadays. Britain and France backed
down in the Czech crisis, not because their
statesmen were towards, but because it
was perfectly obvious that the other side
carried too many guns. ..
So program of re-armament does not
mean that we are getting ready to fight
somebody. 1t simply means that we are
making certain that our voice shall be
heard if it becomes necessary for us to
speak. And We do not need to look all the
way to central Europe for signs that we
may eventually want to do some talking
The great dictator nations are compelled
to look ceaselessly for new resources to ex-
plot, new fields to penetrate, new areas to
bring under their sway South America
lies open before them, Mexico looms a
tempting morsel: we might as we'll realize
that the advance agents of European i'm
perialism are busy in their own back yard
offering a still-unrealized but nevertheless
direct threat to our vital interests. :. e.
And with the world in its present state
a full measure of preparedness is the only
valuable kind of peace insurance. Ar
America fully able to strike swift and
crushing blow would be listened to; an
America unable to do so might be ignored
and in consequence there might easily
develop a situation to which war was the
only solution.
We have no wish to NEEDLE in Europe's
quarrels. But if Europe thrusts a quarrel
on us, we should be ready with the right
sort of answer.

Beauty For Sale
Mum Der 13

Shop girls, housewives stenographers and society butterflies, all know how to make themselves attractive, and how to do it with in their budgets too They learned how through advertising and by experience The combined advertising of cosmetic manufac- turers presents broad education in beauty culture. American women are consequently more critical and better informed about beauty accessories than about almost any thing else they buy.
 In this country the beauty business is a large-sized industry, because here, more than anywhere else women of all classes use it's products and facilities. There are 10000 beauty parlors in the United States, doing a business of 200,000000 year In addition, our women buy $500 100000 worth of cos metics annually for home use. This makes half a billion dollars spent annually for beauty shops and cosmetics, an industry that gives employment to about 100000 persons
 As the advertisements say, no one needs to be unattractive any more. With reasonable skill and judgment in using advertised mate rials, every woman can enhance her natural charm And the services of beauty shops are everywhere available at moderate prices. Cleopatra would probably have given good part of her kingdom for the cosmetics and services which the chic little stenographer buys for dollar week.
 This is an achievement of modern business By the liberal use of advertising it has built Q another great industry, and has placed beauty aids of all kinds within the reach of every purse. Advertising works that way. It brings untold benefits to consumers and ere ates greater employment and prosperity

kIRpLANES MAKING
 JUNEAU AS LOGICAL
 GATEWAY 10 NORTH
(Whitehorse Starr

Present indications would seem to point to the various airlines making Juneau their logical gateway into the north It has been a terminus of the PAA for some time now and as soon as the necessary preliminary surveys have been completed a regu- lar service from Seattle to Juneau will, no doubt, be inaugurated to be followed later, in all probability, by direct service between Vancouver and Juneau.
 For sometime past Northern Air ways have also been operating their Golden Route" service into Juneau with marked success. There they have a bonded warehouse the bond being furnished by the world famous Lloyds of London. So popular has this Golden Route" proved this year that in November alone the com pany carried 84 passengers into Ju- neau without missing single steam ship connection and took out 28 This matter of passengers, we are informed, was larger than all the other airline companies operating into Juneau combined. In addition 1.500 gallons of gasoline were ship ped into Atlin and 4,000 pounds of perishables for Atlin, Mayo and Dawson.

Gle e0patr a was resourceful Woman Armed with little more than the lure of fem mine charms, she was match for powerful warriors and cunning statesmen, including even the redoubtabe Caesar and Mare An thony To Cleopatra, beauty was the source of strength. To Egypt, Cleopatras long hours of toilet preparation were more vital than the training of her armies
 Authentic records reveal some of the in- innate details of Cleopatra's technique. She rouged her lips, powdered her face, and used many kinds of cosmetics on her skin, eye brows, hair, and finger nails. It was said that CleOpatra's beauty routine required many hours of her time every day. To manufacture the materials must have taken fortune, as many of the ingredients were very costly.
 Cleopatra was not the originator of the cosmetics business however. Since hundreds of years before her time, women of high posi- tion had spent much time and wealth in beau tifying their persons. Clay tablets recently excavated by archaeologists in the Near East tell us all about it. In those days, a woman had to be very rich to afford the use of beauty preparations.
 Today, fifty million American women inn prove their appearance through beauty cul- ture and the aid of cosmetics. Their tech nique and their materials are so good that visitors from foreign countries often express amazement at the beauty of American wom- en- What captivates the visitor is not really so much the exceptional beauty of a few but rather the universal attractiveness of Ameri- can women in all walks of life.

in bad condition.
We are also informed that permits
sion has been given to the County
Health Doctor to use the ladies'
waiting room on the second floor of
the Court House. This deprives the
public and female employees of the
Court House of this room and we do
not believe that this should be longer
permitted.
We have inspected the jail and the
Sheriff's residence and we find that
it is kept neatly and in a clean con-
dition. We would recommend that the
inside of the Jail and cells be re-
painted The paint is Clipped off and
stained and we believe that this should
be looked after.
We also desire to recommend that
the County Commissioners have a
garage built for the use of the auto
mobiles used by the Sheriff. He has
no place to store his cars and has to
leave them on the public street and
we think this matter should be given
immediate attention by the Board.
The side walk along the jail and
Sheriff's residence on Fourth street
is in bad condition and should be
seen to it that proper repairs are
made.
We have examined the several off
ces in the Court House and found
them to be in good condition and as
far as we were able to observe the
records were neatly kept and any in
formation asked for was readily avail
able and cheerfully given.
We believe the officers in the county
are performing their duties in the en-
forcement of the law and we desire
to thank the States Attorney for the
cooperation and assistance given US
during our deliberations.
We extend our thanks to his Hon
or Judge Sloan for the assistance he
has given US in performing our duties
as Grand Jurors.
We now respectfully ask to be dis
charged.
