I was always weak and nervous. I could

all kinds of medicines and pills but

PLANE HALTS BEFORE HOME NEAR FAIRBANKS AIRPORT

Last Friday, William J. Hunter Jr., Fairbanks architect, stared with eyes agog when a l0-passen ger PAA Pilgrim broke from a take-off, sWooped back to earth, bounded across Gillian Way, leaping two roadside ditches, and dragged to jerking halt 10 feet from the front door of his house at the east end of the city air port, the Fairbanks News Miner reports.
 Shaken with fear, but totally unharmed was Mrs. Dorsh, a nei- ghbor, who scurried about in the yard in direct path of the big ship, trying to shoo her own two year-old son, Al Jr., and the dau ghter of MT. and Mrs. Hunter, 13-monthS-old Mona Lee, to saf- ety.
 The plane was at a dead stand still however, before the woman and children were in actual dan ger.
 Pilot Herman Joslyn, accom- panied by Mechanic Fred Moller were test-hopping the plane after a motor repair iop when the nar row squeak occurred. PAA offic- ials said the motor wasn't quite ready" forcing the pilot to ground his ship when the engine stopped in mid -takeoff.

Instruction For Enforcement Of
 SCHOOL TAX LAW

Four distinct remedies are pro vided by Chapter 29 of the Laws of 1919, known as the School Tax Act.
 1. Where an individual liable for the tax refuses or fails for ten days after demand to pay the same, he may be prosecuted as provided in Section 6.
 2. Where an employer refuses or fails after proper demand, to finnish the school tax collector with a true list of his employees who are subject to the tax, or fails to pay the collector the tax due from the employees, he may be prosecuted as provided in the second paragraph of Section 8.
 f. Without civil or criminal prosecution the Commissioner may issue a warrant to the Mar shal, directing him to seize the property of the delinquent and sell the same in the manner pro- vided by law. Before this is done complaint under oath must be filed, showing the delinquency. Such warrant may be issued both against the empower and em- plOyee, were both in default, as provided by Section 9.

crease in the proportion of older persons particularly of men,
 This trend to an increasing proportion of older persons has been reinforced" the statisticians says, "by the decline in the birth rase in the interval be- tween the two wars. The present war tends to give this trend still further impetus. For the genera ton which now would normally be responsible for the greater number of births consists, in large part of men and women born during or soon after the last war, whose number were dis tinctly subnormal, and the men of this group will be depleted still further by the present con- fict.
 Although the number of cas- ualties has thus far been relative ly small, the mere withdrawal of millions of men from civilian life acts as an effective check on the birth rate.

EFFECTS OF WAR ON BIRTH RATE IS TOLD

NEW YORK - The present Eu ropean war, being waged almost exactly a generation after the first World War, will have grave repercussions on population. The generation now about to be born in Europe will suffer greatly in numbers as a result of the double blow dealt in the time of their fathers and grandfathers.
 This tragic effect of the two major European wars is pointed out by the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Conn pany, who explain that the brunt of the present conflict is being borne by young men in their 20's whose numbers fall far short of normal, because birth rates drop ped a generation ago when sol diers of these and even younger ages were engaged at the front.
 And the same situation will follow the present war, they say for some damage already has been done, no matter how soon hostilities may end. And even if the war were to end immediately so great has been the strain on the accumulated resources of Flu ropean peoples because of the tremendous costs of the prepara- tion for it and actual operations even for this brief period, that Europe, the statisticians say, can not escape severe economic re- percussions which wild be reflect ed, as in the past, in her birth rate.
 "A long war will mean a pow .erty stricken continent, with an extremely high proportion of old persons, and of women in the prime of life, either widowed or condemned to spinsterhood and childleSsneSs.
 Like two hammer blows, tim ed with ill-fated precision for the greatest effect" the statiSticians say, the two major European wars of this century have come just about one generation apart striking fathers, children and children's children. And this is not merely a figure of speech; it is a record written deep in the ranks of the population of the warning countries.
 As an example the statisticians point out that the French cen sus of 1921 showed that children of age four were no more nu- merous than men and women of 65, although normally these child ren should have outnumbered the elders two to one. Further more as a result of military loss es the male population at prac- tically every age in the 20's and 30's were equaled or outnumber ed by men at each age in the 4O's. In contrast, French women show ed the gradual decline in num- Der with advancing age, which is characteristic of the normal age distribution. There was con- sequently a relative surplus of women in a broad age range which covers the most productive period of life, and a definite in-
