dreaming, and soon there is no end to desire. Besides that, the girl or boy indulged in all things, loses the spirit to endure privation.
 A day or so ago I talked to a man who was recounting business experience. He had been with a firm that rode its employees very hard, for three years. During that time, he said, he went through fire of what seemed like driving, unappre- citation and stern discipline.
 But after he was gone and took up new work, he began to see what the experience had done for him. q would not take ten thou sand dollars for those years" he said. T learned to take it and like it. I learned to discipline myself. In short got dry behind the ears and grew up. Before that I thought the world would be run my way. Now I know that have to do the best with what I have and be happy about it. also discovered that the things I had resented were fair enough because they were routine policy It was not personal"
 It set me to thinking. Natur- all in this country, we have the privilege of thinking and acting with considerable freedom. The points is, though, if young people get into the habit of imagining they are being mistreated because they cannot have their way, they will forever live in an unhappy world. They fix on an idea and then get disgruntled if 1t goes sour. For an idea means an ideal. Some are worth fighting for, others not.
 Saps Moral Courage
 But in any case we lose our salt if we can't stand seeing our plans and hopes go unfulfilled. And If the salt shall lose its flavor. wherewith shall it be salted?" Where is spirit now? Where is courage to go on? Where is happiness? Or hope?
 I do not like to see children dis appointed. No mother does. A big part of family strife derives from parents disagreeing about children having things and .do- ing things. Fathers are more factual and, as a rule, less enlo- tional. They do not feel like crim- inals if they must deny child concessions.
 There are mistakes on both sides, for one parent may go to extremes as well as the other. I think that

Well, we don't think mothers -in-law need to get worried. In fact we think one rule-n followed would keep them from running into any trouble. The rule of course, is HANDS OFF!

  HANDS of when the discussion Shall she keen her II job?" comes up.
 Hands of if they serve liquor, even though. it was never served in your home. l.s Hands of when their budget goes haywire Hands off their problem of whether or not they can afford family.

TIME TO PROTEST

Alaskans are to be given preference in employ ment on the sitka and Kodiak naval airbass jobs, the Personnel Director for the contractors states in a letter to the Empire. That's nice.
 An examination of the actual provisions for en- ployment, however shows the preference" to be so hedged about with conditions which Alaskan workmen will find inconvenient or impossible to meet that the fear naturally persists that residents of the Territory to be left in the cold again when the jobs passed around
 The Seattle unions with which the contractors signed labor agreements will permit "bonafide resi- dents of Alaska who qualified for the work to have jobs provided that such men employed shall apply for membership in the union having jurisdic- tion within two weeks after such employment and provided further that such workmen will be admitted to membership in the union the terms as other members and at no increase in fees or dues beyond thase in effect for the year 1939"
 The union having jurisdiction will be in each case
 Seattle local affiliated with the Building Trades De- partment of the American Federation of Labor The contractors have already before coming to Alaska where the work is to be done signed agreements with these Seattle labor unions. To require Alaska work man to join Outside union in order to get job on Government project in his Territory is af- front to all of who live up here.
 But there is an even worse aspect of the prefer ence' which the contractors and the Seattle unions have generously accorded residents of the Territory where the bases to be built. Men only be hired in Seattle, Sitka Kodiak" the contractors announce It is informative to notice the order in which the places of employment are listed. That order is indicative of the state of mind of the people having charge of the Alaska airbase work.
 We'll grant there plenty of idle workmen at Seattle. There also plenty at Ketchikan, Juneau Anchorage, Seward and Cordova. Those at Seattle can be employed right at home to work at Sitka oi Kodiak but those in the larger population centers ot the Territory of Alaska not given that privilege by the naval abase contractors and the Seattle unions with whom they have signed labor agreements. Under the terms of the agreements workmen hired in Seattle will be furnished transportation to the jobs at the expense of the contractors Alaskans if they want tC work the navy projects must go to Sitka KodaE before they can be hired It costs $10 to go iron Juneau to Sitka.

Another Fair
 

GOLOVIN, Alaska, Oct 19.-This reindeer station and trading village is only two degrees below the Arctic circle, but it's eskimos plan to be- come market gardeners. Under the leadership of School Teacher A. D. Johnson and two traders, George F'olger and Joe Dexter, they already are planning an annual vegetable fair.
 Their first garden show, held last month, drew good display of choice garden sass'-the result of the long hours of summer sunshine and judicious application of her ring refuse as fertilizer.
 This is an ideal spot for root vegetables" said Johnson, and we are going to create a market for tn e m as commercial prospect. Then, too, the eskimos can store away an ample supply for the long winter months"
 Best adapted to near-Arctic gar dening are radishes, lettuce, car rots. turnips, rhubarb, rutabagas, onions, cabbage, chard, spinach and potatoes.

 After the early morning the day is largely ruled by adverse aspects Under this configuration foresight will be shrewd and big projects may be planned. However, lack of under. standing between promoters anc those whom they employ is indicat- ed. This should be a profitable day for merchants, especially retailers ' Japanese trained in American ways will make large profits in China this autumn.
 Heart and Home: Until evening women should carefully subordinate their interests It is not promising day for soliciting the aid of men in any project Husbands and broth CTS may be indifferent to the efforts of women's organizations. because l they will have plenty of financial problems in office or shop. The in- clination to dominate will be strong in the masculine mind
 Business Affairs: Promises of gain will arouse deep interest among Am ericans who will undergo a conflict of warning impulses as they are of fsred large profits for raw materials and munitions. Secret speculation will affect the situation in China where Japanese will make fortunes in catering to vice. Trade between the United States and South Amer ica will be stimulated by require ments of our manufacturing centers
 National Issues: Gambling in var iouS forms will cause public concern in many parts of the United States. The young will turn their attention to get-rich-quick schemes as well as betting. Revelations regarding se- cret organizations that are under mining the moral standards of Am ericans will be made, but efforts toward elimination of evildoers will be slow in making headway
 International Affairs: Holland will claim attention as war perils are recognized. The government of this peace-loving country is keenly aware of its dangerous position as dissen- sion am ong European nations spreads. In the coming weeks Ger many will face greater odds than ever before. In Washington, D. C., reports from foreign ambassadors will take on unusual interest due to secret moves by dictators.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the auguy of year of progress. New contacts will be profitable to both men and women. All tempta- tion to quarrel should be resisted stubbOrnly this year.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be high-tempered and diff ficult to control. These Librans are usually ambitious and may be in- clined to be selfish.

 Moreover, a force once landed would be the target of all the defense mechanism that could be brought against it. Japan made a landing at Shanghai with considerable diff ficulty against defense that was nothing compared with what Ger many would build against a British attack.
