CHRISTMAS SEAL F0LL0W-UpS ARE
 BEING SENT OUT
Reminders Are Mailed 10 Those Who Have Not
 Contributed

Fourteen hundred and fiji y Christmas Seal Follow-ups' were sent out today to residents of Ju- neau who received Tuberculosis Christmas Seals in the mail six weeks ago but who have not yet re- sponded to the appeals sent with them.
 Harry c. Watson, President of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association, stated that due to the Christmas rush, every year many people for get to send in their contributions to the tuberculosis campaign. They want to help in the work and in- tend to do it, but just don't get around to it. Follow-ups serve as reminders to these people that their Christmas Seals are somewhere in drawer or on a desk and many citizens respond every year to the reminders sent out in January" said MT Watson. The battle against tu- berculosis goes on all the year round, SC that the money received now will be just as helpful in combating the tuberculosis problem in Alaska as that contributed during the holiday season."
 MT Watson added that purchas- CTS of seals could greatly increase the value of their original contri- button by using the seals through out the entire year

SCOTT FOUND GUILTY AFTER
 LONG SESSION
Jury DeIiberates "A Hours Armstrong Murder
 Case Monday

After being out since 1925 yes terday morning, the jury in the Sam Scott delinquency case returned a verdict shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, finding Scott guilty on one count of contributing to the delin- quency of minor girl and not guilty on five other counts of simi- lar nature.
 Scott was found guilty on the count which alleged he took minor girl to his room. gave her intoxicat- ing liquor and kept her in his room during the night.
 The Jerome J. Armstrong murder case, for which jury was chosen yesterday morning, has been set ever until next Monday by Judge George F. Alexander at the request of the District Attorneys office which asked further time to inter view its witnesses. Armstrong is charged with the death of Peter Allard last summer at Kalina Bay during an altercation aboard a gas boat.

low during the final months of 1888, employment soaring one-third.
 The sturdy revival in this far flung industry had an enormous in- direct effect on employment gener- ally and contributed materially to the 15 per cent advance in manu- featuring jobs during the final half year.
 The board business pickup added II per cent to the roster of workers in the transportation industry. Rail- roads accounted for most of the in- crease, although trucks and busses were important factors.
 Might Be Better
 Other large employers, however showed relatively little improvement by the end of the year. This group included the service industries, re- tail trade distribution, finance, min ing and utility lines, between them accounting for 42 per cent of all av- ailable jobs.
 Statisticians pointed out that if this group had shown the same per- centage recovery from the low in May that manufacturing, construc- tion and transportation did, unem- ployment would currently be 3,OO0,- OO0--or roundly one-third-smalle than it is today.

VALUE OF POUND
 AND FRANC SHAKEN
 BY THREAT5 OF WAR

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The flight Of capital to the United States dur ing 1888 is wildly sketched by the rising trend of the dollar in terms of principal foreign currencies.
 The French franc, for example, crashed from a January peak of 3.40A cents to 2.57 cents at the time of the Munich settlement in September, a slump of 25 per cent.
 This stemmed partly from the "revaluation" carried out by Pre- mier Daladier's decrees, and part ly from the hurried departure of nervous capital
 The British pound suffered a smaller setback, in terms of the dollar, by slumping from a Febru- ary top of $5037s to $460 in Sep tember, down nine per cent.
 Weakness in this instance result ed from the unbalanced trade posi- tion and an accompanying flight of skitish funds.

could look ahead and see the type
of road I was to negotiate before
reaching Genoa-through noun
tains again-with many turns-and
I could see at least one tunnel.
Half way through this part of the
trip - through tunnels - around
curves-over bridges-I kept saying
to myself, IF you go to sleep at the
wheel now, you go to sleep forever"
1t was late in the afternoon when
I got my first glimpse of Genoa. It's
not supposed to be a very pretty
town, but it sure did look beautiful
to me. And those two Italian liners,
the Rex and the Conte de Savoie,
tied up at the pier looked even more
beautiful.
The Italian Line Office had closed
for the day--so had the American
Express. There was nothing to do
but go to a hotel, get some dinner
and go to sleep. I sure could do
that last.
The Rex was due to sail the next
day at noon. If got up, say, at Z.
had breakfast by 8, I would have
four hours to scout around for a
ticket and perhaps even get my car
on the boat. The hotel was packed
and jammed with Americans, head
ed for home. They made me sick!
They all of 'em had tickets already.
I left call at the desk for $50
and spent about 20 minutes explain
ing how important it was.
They let me sleep next morning
till-guess when!

At this season of the year you are
likely to encounter very obese box
turtles. They have been living high
and are usually too fat to be able to
close their doors without squeezing
In fact. one seen quite recently was
obliged to leave his doors ajar," and
the layers of flesh looked very much
like those of the fat lady at the cir
Gus. Waddling about the garden
where delicious ripe tomatoes offered
a temptation for burying ones face
in cool depths, with berries and vege-
tables in abundance, the turtle lived
we'll.
AS a guest in your garden, where
insects are plentiful, you could ask
no finer cooperation. You will also
find this creature friendly and it can
be coaxed Ito reside permanently on
your property.
These animals live to be quite old,
as they are so wonderfully pro-
tected by their armor. 1t is rather
nice to find them eager and bright
eyed each spring, when they come
forth from their retreat in the soft
ground. Perhaps you may be per-
mitted to witness their retirement
this autumn. They kick their way
backward into their dugout, never
going in head first, and as a matter
Of fact, the nose must. in early
spring, sniff the awakening life all
about it. However, the box turtle
goes down below the frost line and
that shows sense.
No matter how kindly you feel to-
ward your turtle, do not permit your
fingers to come too close to those
razorlike jaws. The long neck swings
about, the snakelike head reaches
