OF the children and decided that
they should not be disappointed, so
Mr.. Hayes issued an order that he
and Mrs. Hayes would be delighted
to have the children come as their
guests to the south lawn of the
White House and roll eggs. They

Cleveland Invited
Children Into Mansion.
This very democratic juvenile re-
ception given by the Chief Executive
affords thousands of little children
their only view of the Chief Magis-
trate and his family, of whom they
read and study, but seldom if ever
see. 1t remained, however, for Mr..
Cleveland when a bachelor Presi-
dent to give the only reception ever
given to the egg rollers inside the
mansion.
Its a pretty story: Mr.. Cleveland
was standing on the portico watch
Ing the children when some little
child begged to see the President
at closer range and was told by an
officer that he could not approach
nearer the house. Mr.. Cleveland,
hearing about it, ordered the east
room thrown open and all of the
little ones were invited to shake
hands with him.

Otto Found Democracy
Only in White House.
We hear that the charming, serious
Archduke Otto, claimant to the
throne of the extinct Austro-Hun-
garian Empire, who came to the
States to study democracy at first
hand, remarked while IN the Capital
that the only place he had found it
so far was in the White House. The
dignifled simplicity of the living of
the head of a great Nation, the rich
est Nation in the world, surprised
him after the gorgeousness of the
rich New Workers who entertained
him. He is said to have looked bit
amused when told that the United
States had become the custodian of
the Magma Carta for the duration
of the war and that some of the
great italian paintings had found
sanctuary here.
And speaking of picture-any pic
lures, all pictures-if one can get
past the first floor in a fascinating
little book shop in Georgetown and
travel up the steep stairs to the
second floor, he will see some inter-
esting pictures by Mr.. Ralph j.
Totten, who has been long in the
foreign service of this country and
who counts his friends by the score
In Washington.
While there are scenes from diff
ferent parts of the world where Mr..
Totten has lived, friends here are

A HEALTHIER NATION

recent publication of the Bureau of the Census entitled ''The Killers" gives the number and percent of deaths from the principal causes. Diseases of the heart account for 239 percent of deaths among all ages; influenza and pneumonia for 102 percent; can- and other malignant tumors for 10 percent sixth the list is tuberculosis, 4.8 percent and such diseases typhoid fever and smallpox Jumped under the heading other causes with other minor causes of death.
 A study of these figures brings great satisfaction to public health workers for the work of sanitary gneers in improving the water supplies of cities requiring improvements in our milk supplies and the lection against smallpox which has relegayed this disease to the catch-all other causes"
 The position of tuberculosis, accounting for less than twentieth of all deaths is encouraging it shows the effect of the program of examination in secondary schools and the tremendous publicity given to the available means of stamping out this insidious disease The fact that diseases of the heart the major of death shows the effect of the tempe of American life and also the fact that with the emn ation of contagious diseases important causes of death, the wearing g-out of the human body now be- comes the principal of death
 Such generalizations these do not apply 100 per cent to Alaska, unfortunately The Territorial De- partment of Health is relatively and the effects of it's program will only be measurable period of years improved sanitation and decreased deaths from preventable diseases The legalization of the Territorial Department of Health by the Territorial Legislature and public support of it's necessary will aid greatly in the realization of such health sta- tistics in Alaska.

Tahiti Votes
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 From the days of Melville and of Loti to those of Nordhoff and Hall the island of Tahiti has spelled romance. In of its aspects it was tawdry TO- nance, for the act of buying steamship ticket to Papeete did not make the casual white fit 'nhabitant of Eden The poseurs of the Left Bank also to be the beaches of the strangely named Society Islands The primitive innocence in which Melville and Gauguin had found the islanders has been long thing of the past though it might be simulated for occidental consumption on steamer day. at so many francs stimulation. Yet the original scenery still there of the original native blood the tropical is forever the it forever changes its moods, and life is not hard
 It must gratify the lover of the picturesque there fore that Tahiti is not to under the remote control of Hitler, the reported plebiscite of 5251 votes for General de Gaules to 18 for the Vichy puppets has made certain Manifesty vote for Hitler would have had little effect long Britain controlled the seas and philosophic recognition of this fact may have accounted for the almost tota- Sarian majority.
 Yet Papeete is more than port and Tahiti more than an island They symbol of kind of lazy dream, which might destroy u world if it real zed but which is forever in mems hearts and forever hostile to the antlike rgor of the Nazi discipline. The symbol is brightly beautiful, whatever the down. at-the-heels reality. Herr Hitler has long road to travel before he mar it.

reach the astounding figure of 80 punctured tires per day. At current repair prices, this amounts to $50 per day that Juneau motorists paying for nails scattered through the streets.
 One Juneau resident walking two blocks along Sixth Street picked up 25 nails. He estimates that this number probably represents not more than 20 percent of the total, fine comb method used. He merely gathered what he saw from the sidewalk while walking to work. With this for foundation, can indulge in little mathematical speculation without trying get down to exact figures From the above estimate may that there are an aver age of 62h nails per street block.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compet"
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER18

Under today's configuration there is sense of forboding. Mars is in threatening aspect. The wise will abstain from dark prophecies, for astrologers foretell great tests for the United States which will dem onstrate the best attributes of de- mocracy.
 Heart and Home: In the family circle optimism should be cultivated. The young are to be trained for fu- ture patriotic service which is to develop the highest citizenship, if the stars are rightly read. Persons of every age should daily prove their patriotism which vii demand self sacrifice. Homemakers should cen ter their interests in domestic pur- suits which assure thrift and con- fort.
 Business Affairs AS prosperity continues trade and commerce will achieve many extraordinary adjust mentS. Realization of the special blessing enjoyed by citizens of the United States will inspire many to contribute generously to relief and to methods of preventing the re- turn of widespread unemployment conditions. Study of political con- ditions which affect economics will have salutary effect on the re- suits of the national election.
 National Issues. Hidden know ledge of foreign plans made in re- gard to the United States, which Washington cannot reveal, will cause policies that arouse severe criticism of the President, it is forecast. What is half revealed will furnish fuel for campaign fires, but the stars seem to presage sudden revelations that encourage unity of purpose in the nation which will maintain it's de- mocracy at any cost.
 International Affairs: Astrologers who have studied the horoscope of former King Leopold of Belgium de- clare that with Venus rising and Sagittarius on the ascendant no man could be a successful warrior. For more than year they declare that he has been subject to "a tornado of cross directions" There is an evil portent that may presage an early close of his life The former preSi- dent and the former Premier of France also were subject to malefic aspects.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune. For the young romance is forecast and for their elders domes- tic happiness is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will excel in the arts. Both boys and girls will be ambitious. Avia- tors will be numerous among these Virgo natives.

RUSSIA WANTED NAVY STEEL

One fact not generally known about the Charleston, w. Va, naval ordnance plant which President Roosevelt visited last week was that it's machinery came near being sold to the Soviet Government.
 Built during the last World War, the Charleston plant was erected to manufacture arnior plate. This is a form of steel normally built by only two plants in the United States, and the Navy wanted to keep the Charleston plant for emergencies For without sufficient armor plate, it is impossible to rush the construc- tion of naval vessels.
 However, the Massachusetts Sal wage Company put in bid for the Charleston plant machinery, and a lot of pressure was put on the Roo sevelt Administration by various politicians to sell it. The plan was to transport the machinery to Rus sia where it would help to re-builo the Russian navy Since American policy always has favored strong Russian Navy as quieting influ. ence on Japan, the idea was giver careful consideration. Also variou. American steel manufacturers wht did not like the idea of the Govern ment being in the. steel business tried to push the sale.
 However, Lewis Compton, far sighted Assistant Secretary of tn Navy, was opposed. So also wa President Roosevelt when the mat ter was placed before him. So to day the Charleston plant, operated

MINISTER OF MUNITIONS

There is very human story be- hind the appointment of Benedict Crowel, who was Assistant Secretary of War under Woodrow Wilson, to aid Secretary of War Stimson in speeding up national defense orders
 It results from an old friendship between Stimson and Crowell dat ing back to the postwar days, when Crowell was indicted on charges of misappropriating public money in connection with World War orders. Crowell was in charge of munitions purchases during the war, and when the Harding Administration got into power, it put into the Justice De- partment Harry Daugherty of Tea pot Dome, fame, who had been an old enemy of Crowelrs in Ohio poli- ] tics.
 Shortly thereafter, Crowell was indicted on charges brought by Daugherty's Justice Department.
 This reused the indignation of Henry L. Stimson. who. had been Secretary of War. in the Taft Ad- ministration, a Colonel of field ar tillery in the World War, and knew how easy it was to charge an execu- tive with maladministration of funds So Stimson, Republican, went to Crowell, a Democrat, and offered to defend him.
 The charges against Crowell were phoney and nothing came of them. But this started firm friendship which has continued ever since.
 And when Stimson first was ap- pointed Secretary of War by Roose- welt, Crowell came to help him by making a survey of the entire War Department situation. At that time Stimson asked him to serve as his Assistant Secretary, but Crowell, de- clining, said that if Stimson found he needed him later, he would come .t to Washington.
 Crowell is now President of the
