HULL'S SQUIRRELY FRIEND

When the Secretary of State goes to call on the President, sometimes he is escorted across the street by a socially ambitious grey squirrel named Pete.
 To get to the White House, MT. Hull has only to cross West Execu- tive Avenue. Park Policeman Ed Costello is there to stop the traffic. and hopping along behind Costello comes the squirrel. The last time Secretary Hull crossed the avenue, he noticed his beady-eyed escort, and said to Costello, Who's your friend?"
 That's Pete" said the officer.
 Another day when Hull came out of the State Department at lunch time, he found Officer Costello and George Klenk, chauffeur to Sumner Welles, staging an act with Pete The squirrel was jumping from the arms of one to the arms of the other, on call. Fascinated, Hull watched for five minutes before he drove off to his hotel. &
 Klenk is worried about Pete's street-strolling habits. That little beggar is going to get killed some day." he says.

cessful treaty signed by the United States.
 This is the famous calico" treaty concluded on November II, 1794, with the Six Nations of Iroquois Indians in New York State. Under this pact the Government pledged to distribute annually several yards" of calico to each member of the Cayuga, Onandaga, Oneida, Tus- caroara, Tonawanda and Allegany tribes in return for their peace and friendship"
 For nearly 150 years this treaty has been faithfully kept and this year $500 members of the six tribes will receive their payment" at Sal amanca, N. Y. Each Indian will have a choice of six yards of printed percale or twelve yards of unbleach- ed sheeting.
 Hard working and proud, the Iro- quois insist on the cloth instead of it's equivalent in cash, and John Collier able Indian Commissioner, has arranged that the terms of the ancient treaty be carried out with pomp and ceremony.

The 1,20O Who Missed the Boat
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 The State Department is entirely correct in re- fllsing to send American ship to England to bring home the 1200 Americans still there
 Germany has refused a safe conduct for the vessel probably because she can't do anything else, with the waters mined as they are and sub Wafafe going strong. Automatically it would have been smarter for Hitler to have granted the safe conduct if he could have made good his guarantee.
 The main. point, however, is that all these Americans had plenty of warning to come home
 It is more than year since the first warnings were given by our State Department. They were re- peated frequently. U. s. vessels have been sent on numerous occasions to bring refugees home. Yet the 200 stayed on
 Today, we think, they should be turning their efforts to helping the British defend themselves, n- stead of expecting other Americans to risk their lives at sea because those 1200 intentionally missed the last boat" Their choice to stay; thelr duty is now to help the land of their residence.
 They can, of course, still come home, if they wish to take the risk.

USE CHRISTMAS SEALS

Spectacular headlines, flaming headlines could be written that would flashed the front pages of every newspaper in the country Tiff only the conditions they report new:
 ITS Die Daily in US From Dread Disease
 "6O Million Men, Women and Children Infected By Deadly Germ"
 "64OoO Victims Will Die Within Year"
 Sxty-four thousand persons will die within the next 12 months While the figure is roundy true there is nothing in the disease. The public is apathetic because the story is so old-the old old story of tuberculosis.
 As it exists in Alaska the picture is darker. For every tuberculosis death per unit of population in the States here there will be II deaths from the disease Walk down the streets of the average town in the Territory; count the first 26 people you meet. If you encounter average population sample either you, one of these 26 is active of tubercu- losis And tuberculosis is preventable disease Why not ask ourselves this year: What can be done about it.
 One answer is Buy Christmas Seals" The AL aska Tuberculosis Association is appealing to you for help carry it's work, work it has been per- forming in cooperation with medical and public health authorities since it was first organized in 1884
 Ninety-five percent of the total Seal Sale re- ceipts are retained in Alaska combat tuberculosis in the Territory When we buy Christmas Seals we are not giving" money to help someone else. Our Christmas Seal dollars not given to charity. We might as well face that fact They are money invested in our health Tuberculosis is a highly infectious disease Hundreds of persons in Alaska have tuberculosis and spread tuberculosis and do know it. Your Christmas Seal dollars are spent to discover it before it is too late

A Credit To Journalism
Bridgeport, Conn, Times-Star)

Bridgeport, Conn.,, 1lmeS-Star) We are certain that many readers of The Times Star appreciated during the campaign just past the fact that while many commentators were stridently and vehemently taking side or another in the political arena the authors of the Washington Merry Go-Round contented themselves with a fair and imprisoned appraisal of the facts and trends of the struggle for the presidency.
 They were not writing their column by day and out making paid political speeches at night They never presented as their any of the extreme arguments either side of the campaign. They were not in the campaign but they were talented and always interesting observers
 Their clear -headedness in observing the cam pagn paid dividends when they came nearer a true prediction of the result election day than any of the much touted polls.
 They have no bitterness to exude after the cam pagn is over.
 They were through it all, credit to American journalism as many of their competitors unfortu- natey not

CRACK IN THE SOUTH

The Solid South was cracked In the recent election, but not by a Republican. It was the work of a Nashville. Tenn, Democrat, in the only hard fought Congressional bat tie in the entire South.
 Hero of the saga was J. Percy Priest. crack newsman of The Nash vile TenneSsean, who, running as an Independent, unseated two ter m Representative Joseph w. Byrns, Jr., son of the late Speaker of the House
 Priest defeated Byrns although the district hadn't elected anyone but a regular Democrat since the Civil War, and although he com- mitted the faux pax of failing to register so he, could vote.
 Priest, however, had other strong advantages on his side. For many years he had been his papers good will" reporter. attending barbecues Tairs, graduations and civic gather ings. Practically everybody in the district knows "Perce" Priest per- sonally Also, Byrns, first elected as a New Dealer, had chalked up a near perfect anti-Roosevelt record.
 Priest also made much of the fact that Byrns' speech against the draft bill had won thunderous applause from the Republicans. Nashville generally is strong for national de- fense and FDR. So while Byrns won renomination, he found real fight on his hands when Priest threw his hat into the ring as an Independ- ent
 Byrns sent out a frantic sos to House colleagues and Representa- tive Sam Hobbs dashed up from Alabama to stump for him. But it was no go. Byrns was defeated in the only Democratic upset in the entire South.
 NOTE: Priests constituency is known as the Hermitage district, because it was the home of Presi- dent Andrew Jackson, patron saint of the Democratic Party. The new Congressman is 40 and unmarried

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compe"
TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 26

This should be a peaceful, pleas ant day, for kindly stars rule. It is prominently a rule of the stars fortunate for women, who should exert their best energies while 1t prevails.
 Heart and Home: This is a time that should be most happy for women young and old, since the stars promise mental vision and understanding loyalty in love, and splendid fortitude under severe tests. It is favorable to whatever increases the beauty or comfort of home, and fortunate for hospitality. Love affairs flourish under this planetary direction which encour- ages romance The stars indicate that age will be no bar to senti- ment. Widows will marry.
 Business Affairs Heavy storms may follow the usual equinoctial and cause great damage to roads and bridges. The forecast seems to cause expectation of severe win ter with consequent suffering to many persons in the United States as well as in Europe. Colds will as- sume many serious phases and throat troubles will be prevalent Trade will continue lively and per sons with foresight will prepare for future reaction from war effects, as prices of many necessary ar ticles inevitably must rise.
 National Issues Conservative policies will be advocated by mem- bers of Congress who watch the national debt pile peak on peak, but they cannot find methods of wise economy in this time of world crisis. States will assume extra financial burdens ard there will be serious peril of bankruptcy in more than one locality. The West will be hard hit with relief responsibilities which will decrease little, despite growing demands for workers of every class.
 International Affairs: The fact that no water sign is occupied in Hitler's chart is an ill omen for Der Fuehrer Neptune, ruler of the ocean, is in his eighth house of death. It is predicted that his ag- gression will be carried too far When Hitler attempts to cross the Channel he pursues the course oi greatest danger which will lead to definite setback, although the con- flict may be prolonged for some time. The beginning of the end is | foreseen by the Seers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of suc- cess. There may be travel west or south for those who seek rest ol | change.
 Children born on this day will be gentle and kindly. They are likely to possess talents and the energy to cultivate them, even though there may be obstacles.

Coast Guard Development
(Ketchikan Chronicle)


 Many in Ketchikan have felt that efficiency and economy demanded that the Coast Guard establish it's permanent headquarters here. Therefore, the decision announced in Washington yesterday was a welcome
 The hestancy of the Coast Guard in making final selection gave chance for Ketchikan- Juneau rivalry to crop out. But the decision IS nothing for Ketchikan to gloat over It was made because the location here is to the best interests of the service. That it happens also to be to the best interests of Ketchikan is incidental good fortune
 IL is true that the ketchikan Chamber of Com merce worked hard to get the headquarters here, but it is to the chambers credit that emphasis was given to a may the best place win" attitude Mem bers of the chamber felt as does the Coast Guard itself now, that Ketchikan offered the most ad- vantages.

which the Empire faces. Two main categories of information are held back from them: D the amount of damage done to factories, espec- ially munition works; and @ the terrific toll of British shipping.
 In a general way, of course, it is realized that Hitler's present plan is to starve out England while still continuing to subject London to tragic air-raids But most of the population have little idea how des- perate the Empire today needs ships.
 NOTE: Britain has now received in trade or for cash 50 U. s. de- stroyers and 30 old Shipping Board vessels. But the time is not far off when new requests for U s. ships will be forthcoming.
