Basis of Whole Structure.
Mr.. Bryant pointed out that all ap
preparations recommended have been
based on the premise that there will
be enough money raised to meet them
Estimates of prospective revenues,
he said, have been liberal and that
even with these liberal estimates it
will be absolutely necessary to trans
fer the sums from highway to gen
eral fund.
He said that transfer Of $4,000, 900
at the end of this fiscal year would
be needed "in order to start the next
fiscal period with a general fund bal
ance of $2,O0O,O0O" He did not ex-
plain how this proposed transfer can
be made, in view of the fact that ex-
listing law does not permit such a
transfer unless and until there is a
deficit in the general fund. Under the
circumstances cited by Bryant this
condition did not appear fulfilled.
Thereafter, he said, it will be neces-
sary to transfer $2,50O,O0o at the end
of the fiscal year 1939-4O in order to
give the general fund balance of ST.
807,580 to begin the fiscal year 1910
Al, and during that year it will be
necessary to make another $2500, OOC
transfer in order that the general
fund balanced be $39693 at the end O.
the coming biennium.
Speech Is Surprise.
The Bryant speech occasioned more
than little surprise in many quar-
tiers, particularly his reference to the
necessity of transferring $4,000 900 at
the end of the current year. Governor
Clyde r. Hoey has repeatedly boast
ed of the fact that he has not vet
transferred any funds under the cor
tingent diversion provision and has
repeatedly promised no such diversion

FATIGUE is a function or feel
ing in which the entire body has
part. It is not a sensation OF the
muscles only. The brain is tired and
the eyes and the internal functions
are sluggish as well.
It has many likenesses to that
other general function, sleep, which
we considered in the two previous
articles this week. Like sleep, it may
be earned from exercise, prolonged
pleasant activity, or concentration
on an agreeable task. Then rest will
relieve it.
Or it may come on without any
obvious reason, and in that case be
accompanied by nervousness, so
that, as in a person who is sleepy
and yet cannot sleep, the result is
an unhealthy state.
Danger Signal
Fatigue is distinctly a danger sig
nal, unless there is a very obvious
reason for it. And if it is not re-
lieved by rest or. sleep, it is even
more distinctly danger signal.
The cause may be physical, men
tai or emotional.
On the physical side, fatigue is
the commonest symptom which hui
man beings experience. 1t accom-
panies disease Of any organ. 1t is
likely to be the first symptom Of an
infection. It is present in heart dis
ease, diabetes, kidney disturbance,
digestive disorders or unsupported
high blood pressure.
Excessive and unhealthy fatigue
is always a danger signal in the
young. It may mean early tubercu-
losis. And what is meant by Excess
sive fatigue was never better de-
scribed than by an educated man
college professor-who had early
tuberculosis without suspecting it.
He wrote, in describing the history
of his case, that he would come in
from very slight exertion-such as
giving an hours lecture-and go to
his room and throw himself, fully
dressed, face downward on the bed
[ cause he was too tired to arrange
himself on his back. He would lie
like that for hours, too exhausted to
move, passing by the hour for sup
per because he was too fatigued to
eat. Every fibre in every muscle in

Such distinctly unnatural fatigue
calls for d complete physical exam
nation.
Worry Causes 1t
Fatigue occurs, however, when
there are no abnormal conditions in
the physical bodily functions. Worry
will cause fatigue. Emotional dis
turbances and mental upsets, such
as an inability to solve problem or
come to reasonable conclusion
about business matter, are equally
fatiguing. A young friend of mine
during the last few days has been
worrying about passing an examina-
ton in chemistry. His principal
symptom has been fatigue.
Such forms of fatigue are accom-
panied by nervousness and relief is
correspondingly difficult. Rest, the
logical treatment Of fatigue, may
not work. Indeed, it may be said
that if rest does not relieve fatigue,
something fundamental is the mat
ter.
For the purely functional forms
of fatigue, treatment by relaxation
is to be recommended. DR.. Jacob
sons book, You Must Relar, is gos4
pei for some of these. He advocates
periods of lying down several times
during the day and deliberately re-
Taxing one system of muscles after
another. This acts both by correct
ing the fatigue of the body and by
helping to Danish worry.

Soviet Russia, through her Pre- mier, Foreign Commissar Molotoff, has accused President Roosevelt of mixing in Russia's negotiations with Finland. pS
 Molotoff said the United States is acting in contradiction to the United States policy of neutrality

 No irltimation has been given as to Russian action in the face of Finland's defiance.
 Molotoff likewise accused Great Britain and France "of seeking new excuses for war, declaring, "There can be no question of restoring Po- land"
 The Premier revealed that Russia is seeking to make a pact with Fin land similar to those made with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, but did not say whether or not nego- tiations have been entirely term mated.

 Reason for all the activity is that work has begun on the S98OO,OOO naval base to be located seven miles distant on Kodiak Island, and Ko- diak, the nearest settlement, is profiting present-from the pro- ject. A population of one thousand more or less-is this new boom town" Six taxicabs are operating over it's mile and half of rutted streets, saloons have opened in tents and packing-case shaeks, and the crop of streamlined dance hall girls-1939 style-are gathering a harvest.

 At it's peak the Kodiak project will employ between 800 and 1000 men, and with but few exceptions, 1aborers are being hired from the Territory. There are squatters all over the town, most of them in tents and some content to sleep on blankets and rolls.

 Now is the time for well-groomed women to pay particular attention to their hands.
 Here are some ways to keep down Old Man Winters ravages:
 Every time you wash your hands, dry them thoroughly and then rub in a few drops of lotion, using a washing movement and working the lotion above wrists.
 Rub a little hand cream or olive oil into your cuticles once or twice a week. Then your cuticle won't be so likely to break.
 Use a base under that new nail polish. Leave the half-moon clear, but cover the tips of the nails. When you apply the polish, take off just little polish at the tips. That will help cut down on chipping.
 Don't dig into the half f-moon with a steel implement. New nail forms there and if you should mar it the defect will get larger as the nail grows. Weakened spots are likely to split off at the edge of the nail This sort of thing misleads many people into thinking they have brit tie nails.
 If your nails really are brittle, you should watch your diet, take plenty of exercise and spend more time in the fresh air. It's a good plan to stop wearing polish now and then, too, and buff the nails vigorously instead.
 Last, but not least, don't wear gloves that are very thing or very
