Bridges made practically the
same denials when he appeared as

time he was placed on the stand
by the defense ito clear up some
odd and ends as the eighth week
of his hearing before Examiner

Today his testimony centered
especially on answering the
charges made by Aaron Sapiro,
former attorney for AFL mari

Bridges denied practically

Bare Knees on the Gridiron
Philadelphia Record)

It seems but yesterday that America rocked with controversy over the neglect of education by "over-emphass football" Now comes new rocking of the nation, this time over the neglect of footban-by "over-emphasis the knees of drum majorettes."
 The University of Nevada has just undergone a major crisis The football team, band and students threatened to strike when the Dean of Women ordered skirts the knees of Elsie Crabtree, chief drum ma ajorette." The crisis ended in compromise Elsie needn't her knees long she doesn't do splits and cartwheels.
 Ye drum majorette is relatively recent pheno- menon Time was when a band content with a drum major. Later one drum majorette seemed sui ficent especially her skirts got shorter and short until, in recent years she often abandoned them for pair of very short shorts.
 Today, however, drum majorettes appear ing in whole corps band with less than four is accused of trying to make the band members con- spicuous. Before long if the gals can be recruited rapidly enough the chief technical distinction be- tween bevy of chorines and a bevy of drum major cites will be that the chorines have the band play ing in front of them while the drum maorettes have the band playing in back of them.
 We can visualize a not-remote day when Dear Old U. of z. and Dear Old U, of x. will be sending scouts around offering scholarships to the girls with the best figures. College presidents will begin to attend the Atlantic City Beauty Pageant. Hollywood may even find itself raided by the halls of learning

 It is a strange migration. Germany labored for centuries to establish her influence the Eastern Baltic shore.

FINLAND'S FATE A LESSON
 TO ALASKA

Today another nation is drawn unwillingly into war Finland, small industrious and wanting nothing much to be left alone to mind her business, is bounced upon by Russia which al ready has thousand times much territory the master minds of the Kremlin can rule ntelligently
 The attack on Finland, absolutely unprovoked and inexcusable will go down in history of the great international crimes of our time. The offense is even more fragrant in the eyes of the world than was Germanys campaign against Poland on which it was modelled.
 The newest twist of the makes begerent of one of Alaskas closest neghbors. Just across Boring Strait lies nation which has gone mad with the spirit of conquest. Today the force of Russia,s drive is being directed toward the west Tomorrow it might be headed in this direction.
 Almost unnoticed among the recent blasts of villification from Moscow was a series of articles in pravda on the subject of Alaska They explained how a corrupt Russian Imperial Government had sold Russas Alaskan birthright without asking the Russian peoples leave for few paltry millions of American gold It also mentioned that the shortest distance between Russia and Alaska is only 50 miles.
 If anyone could plumb the depths of the dark oriental mind of Joseph Stalin he might find there some scheme for Soviet drive to the east matching the one Hitler was talking about only year so ago. Most military experts would agree that Rus sian attack on the United States would be the acme of fooishness, but it would make things awfully unpleasant in Alaska for while.
 Russia's moves today the other side of the world are another argument for the strengthening of Alaska's defenses a work which has been taken up enthusiastically by the Federal Government and which must be carried
 We in Alaska have always thought we were pretty well insulated from the shocks of world con- flict. There are only two nations whose borders are adjacent to ours Today both of these nations, at war S the battle fields at present are half a world away. But with such a spirit abroad i'll the world, no land and no people is safe. Alaska needs to be strong to live in these times.

Hcroscobe. The stars incline
 but do not compel
FRIDAY. DECEMBER l


 The morning hours of this day come under benefic aspects which favor plans for the. new year. This configuration is a fortunate one for civil. naval and military leaders. In the afternoon confused planetary influences are active.
 Heart and Home: This is not an suspicious rule for love affairs. Men and women may neglect romance for practical interests. Household heads are likely to be concerned about finances and save money. It is a good day for all banking transac- tions except loans.
 Business Affairs: Commercial transactions are likely to be lucky today, although buying and selling should be restrained. Optimism re- garding sustained trade is likely to be too sanguine, but holiday shop ping should be satisfactory under this configuration. Food prices will rise to the usual holiday levels, but not abnorally high. Nothing of great importance should be started today.
 National Issues: A reaction against pensions and relief extravagances will be strong toward the end of the year. Increased taxes in 1940 will cause grave apprehensions. The foreign policies of the Federal gov- ernment will cause bitter and futile discussions, for inevitably the Unit cd States will become involved should a real world war eyentu- ate-if the stars are rightly read. The careers of American statesmen long in the limelight are to close at the turn of the year. Washington is warned of tragic happening.
 International Affairs: Disgree- ments among military strategists are forecast. The seers stress the ele- nent of secrecy in all developments. Treachery is presaged as the sequel to an international pact. The Unit cd States will send friendly mes eages to foreign nations that are friendly, and closer relations will be csta blished. With forward looking tates, especially the Scandinavian, American ambassadors will gain wide acclaim for the wise conduct of hazardous negotiations.
 Persons whose birthday it it have the augury of an eventful year Small disappointments in business and difficulties in domestic affairs are likely Good luck will follow dis appointments.
 Children born oh this day prob ably will be of forceful character, sensitive and sympathetic. These subjects of Sagittarius are usually keen of intellect and enjoy good for tune through life.
