TRAILER GIRL,

Lynn's blonde hair cleaned from
under the tiny off-the-face hat, and
Rene thought she was the prettiest
thing he had ever seen.
"You know. some day l want to
do q decent portrait of you," he
said, suddenly as though that
thought just occurred to him. Here
have before me one of the best
models I've seen about these parts,
and somehow l never thought Of
doing it.'except for garage man."
Lynn hurried off without any more
discussion of the matter. The ad-
dress Mortimer had given her was
on Fifth Avenue. The girl had no
idea what kind of a place it was,
but she was to ask for Mr.. Wal
lace. She walked over to Fifth Ave

in her hand, and turned into the
avenue. hunting for the number.
There were several smart shops
along the way. hats and shoes and
frocks. Then a branch bank. Her
number turned out to be the bank,
and Lynn's heart sank. What could
she do in bank?
Lynn waited patiently outside Wal
lace's door for almost an hour. When
she had completely despaired, a Sec
rotary motioned her into the room.

Gradual weakening of the Ger man effort In the German siega of Great Britain is claimed this morning by the British Air Ministry while it is announced the British attacks on Germany and occupied lands continue with unabated fury. the attacks being made in night raids by the Royal Air Force.
 From other sources 1t is stated Italy is getting ready for mechan- ized offensive on the Greeks. but assisted by the German units.
 Bombing Raids
 The Italian air force today re- stunned attacks on Greece. bombing Port Patras and Canea. { Authorized sources assert the Fascists arc moving mechanized equipment, tanks, armored cars and artillery through Albania toward the western coastal zone of Greece. It is said that German officers are in command of these forces. The Greek authorities admit the frontier line has been pierced but for only short distances and Greek sharpshooters have massed in the mountain fastnesses and are pouring hot shots on the invaders. Stronghold Taken
 The Greek authorities claim they have captured a mountain fortress on the Albanian side, routing the Italians after surprise and bril- liant infantry charge. The capture of the mountain position took the Greeks into Albanian territory for the first time. Heavy artillery is being moved to this strategic point, it is said.
 The RAF last night made more destructive raids on railways leading to Berlin and also on Berlin itself.
 The Krupps munitions works at Essen were also bombed during the night with destruction apparent. Late this afternoon it is said that fierce Greek bayonet charges are cutting wedges into the Italian ranks i in Albania.

 Less than a year ago, Nelson T.. Johnson, U. s. Ambassador to China, was permitted to travel over the new Burma Road in a car. From his reports and those of the few who followed him can be pieced one of the most amaz- ing stories of any road in our time.

COUNCIL FAKES UP MINOR CITY
 DIFFICULTIES
Routine Matters Discussed at Last Night's
 Session

Half dozen typical minor prob- lems of City administration were considered and disposed of at last nights City Council session.
 Bowling -Davlin Company was awarded contract to furnish a new police patrol waon. The firms bid of $1127 less $355 allowed for the old wagon was slightly below that of the Juneau Motors, which offered ve- hicle at $106003 less $26990.
 The Council voted to renew for five years the City's lease with Charles G. Warner for waterfront property on which the gridiron at the Upper City Float is located. H. L. Faulkner, attorney for Warner, appeared at the meeting to inquire whether the lease was to be re- newed
 Indian Possessions
 A letter from the Office of Indian Affairs listed tax-exempt Indian possessions" in Juneau as being worth $22000. If these were taxed at the City's 18-mill rate, the an- nual revenue would be only $396, according to the letter from Charles Hawkesworth In all the incorpor ated communities of the Territory such tax-exempt Indian property is worth $416,490 and would yield S1,- 563.75 in revenue if taxed, the let ter stated.
 Montgomery Ward and Company protested City assessment of $500 on stock at it's Juneau order office, asserting such stock was worth only $500 at time of assessment.
 To Repair Pavement

CHICAGO = In gorgeous-hued Hollywood suit, behind about seven dCcrs and seven secretaries ln Democratic headquarters, sits the Honorable Scott Lucas, generalis- simo of the Roosevelt forces for the Midwest.
 Senator Lucas, ordinarily genial and kindly, is not happy man. His brow is creased with furrows as he frets over the lack of support he is getting from Democratic head quarters in New York.
 "We can't conduct a campaign without cash says the Senator, and no cash has been forthcoming from New York. Of course, the Senator fails to add that other campaign headquarters have gone out and raised their own cash without wait ing for New York. But apparently that has not occurred to him; and the status of the Roosevelt campaign in the Midwest generally reflects his inertia.
 At present, Republican campaign managers confidently predict a min- mum of 100000 majority in down. state Illinois-and Democratic lead- CTS, when they take their hair down, agree with them. All of which means that Cook County Chicago will tell the story of Illinois on No- vember 5. In order to carry the state, Roosevelt must pile up lead of 30O,O0O in the densely populated domain of Messrs. Ed Kelly and Pat Nash.
 Whether Roosevelt can top Will kies downstate majority is most uncertain. A month ago it looked like a cinch. But it is a different story today. That is why Roosevelt campaign managers have been pleading with him to make trip to Chicago A personal appearance, they believe would turn the tide in his favor.
 Without that trip, Illinois is any body's state It can go either to Roosevelt or to Willkie.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt travelled across New York state today, moving toward Ohio for his fifth major campaign address at Cleveland tonight.
 AS Wendell Willkie prepared one of his final bids to votes, his New York City talk tonight, Roosevelt began his swing through the pivot al states of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
 In the Presidents Brooklyn speech last night he declared that there has been forming" in the Republican party an "unholy alli- ance between extreme reactionary and extreme radical elements in this country and there is no com- mon ground on which they can unite unless it be their common will to power"
 WiliKie asserted, in speech to- day, that the statement had been designed to stir up class hatred and divide our people, saying that his opponent complains that the Republican ticket has the support of many different elements of our population The answer is obvi- ous. It is because our party Is the only one which offers unity to the country
