 with Alaska undefended, any forces moving against the United States across the BlE Pacific Ocean will necessarily on the shortest line, on the general principle announced by the really capable General Nathan Bedford Forrest, that if one expects to win battle, he mu st get there first with the most the greatest striking power. That Fundamental rule of military st egy i as old and as steadfast and as unchang ngeable the ageless mountains. Her odotus tells us how Cyrus,in following that principle, brought into subjection and slavery the Lydian Empire under Croesus, which was then considered the great mll1- tary power of the world. Napoleon's most successful campaigns were founded on it; and it soundness was exemplified only few months ago by the azi generals in cas- fly overrunning wel1-nigh half ot Europe.
 "Consider for moment that if Alaska were in the posse ssion of hostile power, all of our defenses in the Hawaiian Islands are thereby outflanked and rendered unten- able, becau SC the enemy in control of All - aska would be within 750 miles of the Uni eW ted States, on an interior line, while the Hawaiian Islands are than 2,4o0 miles from our Pacific coast.
 "Fortunately for us, this amazing defect in our defense organi sation is being corr rected. Three naval air bases are under constructi on in Alaska; one at Sitka, in southea stern Alaska; Kodiak, some what west of the southern central part of Alaska: and one at Una1aeka, which is 1oca- ted near the wouthwestern end of the Alaska Peninsula and near the eastern extremity of the Aleutain Islands. At the same time ,the Army is building two air bases; small one near Fairbanks, almost in the center of the main body of Alas ska and much lar ger one near Anchorage, in the south cen tral part of the Territory. Until less than six months ago all of our troops in Alaska consi sted of 300 infantrymen situa- ted at Chi lkoot Barracks in southeastern Alaska.

It is an ice-free coast all the year round.
 "Nor is that all. As any ordinary world globe will show you, the greet cir cle route, the direct route and, therefore, the strat egic line between the main body of the United States and the northern nations of eastern Asia, namely, Japan and Soviet Russia, lies thru along the coast of Alaska, and that line is at least 2,3oo miles north of the Hawaiian Islands.
 "It is not any exaggeration to say that the cont ro1 of Alaska and by that is meant real control, control which has more than naked land to depend upon, control which is made effective by strong defensive works and installations means control of the North Pacific from the Orient to the coast of the United States.
 "Many think that by reason of the fact that we hold the Hawaiian Islands in force, and that we have expended at Pearl Harpor in permanent military and naval develop ments more than $45o, 1000, ,ooo, we are there fore safe as far as the Pacific is concern ed. Those who think that are merely in dulging in wi sinful thinking, because noth- ing could be further from the truth than their conc lu si on that armed authority over the Hawaiian Islands means our domin- ation of those parts of the Pacific in which our int erests lie. They are probab- ly mi sled by the cliche that Hawaii is the key to the Pacific." Without deprecating in any manner the high importance of having ample defense works in the Hawaiian Islands let us, in order to promote exact thinking on the subj ect, change the figure of speech and say that the Hawaiian Islands offer a door for entry into the United States, door that has now been measurably locked and barred by the enormous defensive forces and establi shment Us contained at Pearl liar Dor and in that vicinity. But, after all, the Hawaiian Islands only backdoor, or sidedoor; and the main entrance to the United States on the Pacific side, from military and naval viewpoints, is not thru the Hawai- ian Islands, nor within 2,OOO miles thereof, but lies instead directly thru Alaska and along the coast of Alaska.

Good Posture
Is Essential
To Speech
| Correct Breathing
| Will Give Voice
| Full, Rich Tone
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

II Is possible to have good speech
and to speak with charm If one
truly desires to correct unlovely
speech habits. You must first study
yourself and listen to yourself speak.
Then you should listen long to a
person who speaks very well-enun-
ciates clearly, rhythmically, uses
correct grammar, and has something
to say! Use that person as a model
and improve your voice and de-
livery.
In her new book, Sing Your
Way to Better Speech" Miss Ger
trude Walsh stresses the impor-
tance Of good posture. She writes:
There is close relation between
a fexibly erect posture and good
speech. 1t is impossible to pro-
duce a full rich tone when your
body is rigid or when you slump
in the chest. or at the waistline.
Your chest should always be held
easily up and forward, as this
helps to establish right conditions
for the incoming breath, the very
substance Of which voice is made.
Then. too, this posture sug-
gests health and mental alertness,
whereas slumps, either at the
walstllne or chest. may indicate
indifference, carelessness, or ILL
ness. If you establish a line OF
balance in your body. keep your
back straight, and your chest up
and forward. your vital organs
Will have more space for correct
functioning and vacuum will be
created for incoming breath Such
conditions. combined with free
dom OF the muscles around the
throat. chest and shoulders. are
basic for good voice and speech"
Once you have mastered good
posture and attain II when YOU
sit. walk. stand or dance. YOU
should learn TO breathe correctly,
so the words you speak will come
out OF your mouth in full. rich
tones. nicely spaced and adding to
your poise. If YOU find your words
stumbling out one after the other
in a giboerish, YOU might try to
memorize these suggestions.
AS you breathe, enjoy the sen.
sation that comes with the lnfa.
ton Of the torso
Do not try to take too much
breath at once.
Practice with ease at all times
Never try TO control the outgo-
ing breath. This will be taken
care of naturally. if YOU faithfully
practice voice exercises.
Make sure that you do not move
your shoulders.
Occasionally yawn to get the
sensation of an open mouth and
throat.
Make sure that your tongue does
not drop back in your mouth and
block your tone passage.

couldn't stand by and see George

cially when George was entirely in
nocent of any blame for the brawl.
Generally speaking. the best
course TO pursue in any emergency
such as this is TO avoid fight as
long as you possibly can without
completely swallowing your pride.
And right here we'd like to say that
any feeling of reluctance to get into

are a physical coward If that
thought has been disturbing you,

No good-humored, well-mannered

The nervousness and apprehension

unfamiliar situation. The tough

accustomed TO brawling since he
first knocked Big Brother Butch out

Discomfort
Causedby
Families
By DOROTHY DIX.

One of the favorite indoor amuse-
ments Of families is picking on
their in-laws. This is played by
finding fault with the poor dubs
that John and Mary have married.
holding up all of their little faults
and peculiarities to ridicule, and it
is considered a pleasant and harm
less parlor diversion. In reality.
however, it is not only the cruelest
game in the world, but also one that
is most disastrous in its conse-
quences. For its result is to rub the
gilt off of the ginger bread of mat
rimony for John and Mary. 1t
strips the last shred of illusion from
their mates and makes them wonder
what they ever saw in them that
made them seem desirable Inas-
much as divorces add nothing to
the prestige or the well-being Of
families, it is inexplicable why fam
lilies should try to dissatisfy their
members with the matrimonial
bargains they have made Mothers
have no desire to have their daugh-
tiers come back home with a pack
of children because they have lost
their tastes for their husbands.
Fathers don't long to have to help
their sons pay alimony to their
estranged wives. Brothers and
sisters view each others wrecked
homes with more contempt than
pity.
And none of them realize that
they are largely responsible for
bringing about the sorry mess. None
of them realize that John never
would have found out to his dying
day that Sally wasn't his dream girl
if his mother and his sister hadn't
always been belittling her and call
ing his attention to the fact that
she wasn't very bright: that she
didn't know how to dress. that she
lacked poise. was a poor housekeeper
and belonged to too many clubs.
And Mary would have gone on
seeing Tom as the hero of her
girliSh dreams if her family hadn't
always been nagging her about
his table manners, his funny red
his little bumptious ways
and his liking swing music instead
of grand opera.
OF course. when mother keeps
on dropping hints about Toms
platinum blond secretary and
asking Mary if she is sure that
he is really at work the nights
he doesn't come home to dinner,
she isn't deliberately sowing the
seeds of jealousy in her daughters
bosom.
Nor is she. with malice afore-
thought, lighting the fire that is
going to burn Toms house of hap
piness down when she is always
poor boying" him about having
to work so hard for wife who
throws his money away and who
doesn't appreciate what a blessing
she has in husband.
Nor do brothers and sisters
realize that they are guilty of the
crime. of alternating the affections
of husbands and wives when they
make them see their mates as
figures of fun instead of heroes of
romance.
But they do it, and the pity of
1t is that they pull down husbands
and wives ideals Of each other
instead Of building them up.

The wonderful part of it is that
every woman can own a number OF
these smart, practical and extremely
useful atomizers. Today, the man.
ufacturers are producing well made
perfume and cologne dispensers in
beautiful designs at amazingly low
prices Partially due to the fact
that imports are nearly impossible
to attain, more and more women are
tuning to made at
omizers for their beauty and con-
venience, as we'll as their ineXpen-
siveness.
While We have long been ex-
tremely enthusiastic on the subject
of good looking atomizers, it was
brought to our attention again by
the introduction of new cologne
type which looks at least 10 times
as valuable as the price tag says it
is It's a small, slightly fat urn
shaped container of hob-nailed
glass. Available in white and pas
tells. it's about the trickiest and
smartest looking cologne atomizer
we've seen.
Naturally We don't have to re-
mind you again of the advantages
of using an atomizer. BY this time
you know it's the quickest way to
apply a fragrance: the most eco
nomical, in that it makes little
or
thorough. for you don't get great
drops of perfume or cologne in one
spot and none at all in others. We
don't have 10 repeat that these
atomizers make marvellous gifts for
any occasion. particularly for your
weekend hostess. So. since you
know all these things we won't say
a word about them! MOP
Speaking of atomizers and their
contents, we've long meant to tell
you about an item that You'll like
for all-year- round use It's body
lotion that has the clean. refresh
ing fragrance of fine cologne and
when you spray it on after your
bath, it just can't be beat for getting
you off to a fresh start. What we
particularly like about the item
is its lack of too-sweet aroma
that might play tug of war for
superiority with your pet perfume.
This liquid will be companion to
whatever fragrance you most prefer,
or 1t can stand alone as spirit
lifting application.
It's made by one of the best
English firms who have long been
famous for the fine quality Of their

us in this one either.

Of self-defense, you'll have an in
stinctive confidence in your ability
to handle your dukes when an
emergency arises.
Once you know you are capable
of upholding your honor, you'll feel
less impelled to spring to its defense
at the drop of hat. For instance,
you and girl are walking along
the street. and pass a group of
fellows loafing in front OF cigar
store. One of them says something
in low voice. or emits long, ex-
pressive whistle, whereupon the
others laugh raucously.
Now, the dramatic, story-book
procedure would be to deposit the
young lady in place of safety,
stride back with your chest sticking
out foot. and demand satisfaction
for the insult. But actually, such a
gesture would be pretty silly. and
extremely inconvenient If you went
around trying TO teach elementary
good manners to all the goons and
Doors in the world. you would have
time and energy for nothing else
So We suggest that YOU follow a
policy, first. of stunning situations
which might get YOU into trouble:
and second. of doing everything
honorably possible to avoid a fight
when such situation does occur
Then, if all else fails and you have
to fight, do your utmost to beat
your opponents ears completely
down.
