Fairy-Iolc Room,
 in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM, Jan. l. = "When the gong sounds-the magci door opens!"
 This is not a fairy story-but a perfectly true news dispatch about a fairy-tale room.
 Every Saturday afternoon-even before the gong sends forth its well come sound-an expectant and eag- CT queue of boys and girls waits out side the magic door of the Chil- dren's section of the Stockholm li- brary. For this is their own en- trance-leading to wonderful rooms, decorated with painted figures from well-known fairy tales.
 There are other rooms in the children's section, too But the fairy-tale room is the most won derful of all This room, which is intended for children of from 3 to 10 years, actually holds about 80- but more than 100 often squeeze in, for one could not expect the librar- ian to keep strictly to her rule when she sees child with longing eyes trying to look very small, but hav- ing to admit he is over age. And how could she say No" to a little girl who begs to be allowed to come in-saying that she never has heard a fairy tale in her life?

Headlines are destined to be made by furniture in le40 For every body-fabric and upholstery experts, furniture designers and interior decorators are busy experimenting with media that until very re- gently had been unknown or used only rarely.
 Take glass, for instance. It wasn't so far back that glass furniture or furniture in which glass was used-made it's debut. It was greeted by all sorts of criticism. Criticism only prodded designers into working harder to make glass furniture really beautiful.
 Very recently a new plastic which is transparent as glass and is pliable has been made up into few household effects Chief among these are coat and dress hangers, boudoir chairs and dress ing tables One of the most recent additions is chair with legs and back framework of the plastic and red tufted satin seat and back II stopped traffic when it was dis played in the window of a Fifth Avenue store.
 l Glass and plastics, however aren't the only news Picked sandblasted and bleached woods particularly oaks and mahoganies are seen in many of the smartest display rooms. Laminated birch too, is used by one of the foremost designers of those simple, modern chairs and tables you've begun tc see.
 A new material is being used ir upholstered furniture and mat tresses the milky sap of the rubber tree, whipped into a foam anc baked so that the bubbles stay in it.
 Among the newer furniture fab rics are those made of spun glass, new tweeds, and rough fabrics such as the one resembling terry cloth on the 'chair in the illustra. tion above.

TUBERCULOSIS
 HOSPITAL FOR
 HAYNES STUDIED
Barracks Might Be Con- verfed-Governor Re-
 turns from Lynn Cana

The possibility of converting the buildings and plant at Chilkoot Bar racks for use as Territorial tuber- culosis hospital in event the Army post moves to Anchorage was inves- tigated over the weekend by Gov Ernest Gruening who made visit to Lynn Canal communities aboard the Coast Guard cutter Haida.
 Gov Gruening said there has been a great deal of talk in Washington about the Army giving up the Haines post and moving to some place in the vicinity of Anchorage, but that it would probably be several years before any such move would be made if it does take place.
 There have been various sugges- tions by the War Department look ing to some other use for the bar racks and plant generally, a plant which the Governor says it would be shame to waste.
 Doctors Make Trip
 Dr. w. w. Council, Territorial Commissioner of Health, and pr. J. F. Morley, Medical Director of the Office of Indian Affairs, Alaska Division, accompanied the Governor on his trip to investigate the suit ability of the barracks for sanator- ium use.
 The Governor pointed out that often there is great difficulty in adapting existing buildings to other uses and that the cost of remodel ing, altering and maintaining such adapted plants is greater than it would be to build anew.
 There have been suggestions of other possible uses for the barracks, the Governor said He mentioned that in the event the International Highway is built by the Kluane Lake route an extension of the Haines- Klukwan highway might connect Chilkoot Barracks with the high ways of the nation and affect the War Departments decision.
 Other departments will have no particular voice in the decision as to what will become of Chilkoot Barracks, the Governor said. The whole problem is one of national defense which must be decided by the Army.
 
 Hospital Needed
 A tuberculosis hospital, Governor Greuing said, is needed for both white and native citizens of the Territory.
 The Governor conferred at Skag- way and Haines with city officials and discussed problems and pro- gress. Better radio communication was one of the things the people of the area are asking, he found
 Preservation of the Indian totems at Klukwan is one matter which the Governor said interests him. He said he believed construction of a fireproof concrete building as a

NORWAY INVOLVED
BY WHOM?
(OrovillC Mercury-Regis

(OrovillC Mercury Register
For 20 years, as we have looked back
on the World War. the debate has wagcd
over who won it. One of the questions
that will be debated after this war will
be whether the British or the Germans
forced Norway in by violating her neu-
trality.
The Germans say they were forced in
to protect Norway after the British had
mined her coastal waters. The British
say transports with armed men aboard
enroute off Norway's ports were under
way hours before the news of the
British mines had reached Berlin.
Spontaneous combustion comes when
conditions are Just right for it. Norway
is the victim of something like that.
Two weeks ago it WAS reasoned here
that the allies were trying to force the
little neutrals into the war so that they
might better control vital shipments of
ore and oil to Germany. Clearly, Ger
many would prefer to let things go
along as they had. with no menace or
mpediment to Scandinavian iron ship
ments. Britain, however. had to do
something to strengthen her blockade,
though it meant sacrifice of neutrals
and perilous naval and land action in
and about Norway Once Britain had
put Winston Churchill in command
vigorous action was sure to result. De-
velopments in Norway may show that
for the first time the allies We're ION
time. though that is yet uncertain. At
least, there was prompt action due to
Churchill.
If at first glance il seems blame for
spread of the war TO Norway lies ON
Britain's doorstep. let it be considered
how we'll Germany was prepared for her
coup. Sailors in many ports DOTTED their
disguises and sprang forward with hand
grenades. 1t will be hard to tell who
started it and it Is too early to tell who
will profit from it.

VIGOROUS DRIVE
STILL ON
(Santa Monica Outlook)

NodHld -hOlllCd OullOOE)
The vigorous and continuous campaign
which Attorney General Warren is max
ing against all forms of the gambling
evil has won for him the high regard Of
the great ma iority of the people of Cali
fornia.
1t is Mr.. Warren who deserves the
credit for the suppression of the scan
dalous and outrageous gambling barges
which disgraced Santa Monica and other
points along the shore of Southern Cali
fornia. Now he is relentlessly running
down the bookmakers. At recent meet
ing with the district attorneys of so
counties in the state. Mr. Warren prom
ised that the telephone service of every
known bookmaker in California will be
cut off, and declared that he was de-
termined to destroy all commercial gam
bling in the state.
His next step. with the bookmakers cut
off from racing news, is to be a drive
against the slot machine racket which
he we'll says is vicious because it's prof
its are so fabulous The meeting with
the district attorneys was to secure their
cooperation in law enforcement and to
encourage them in cooperating with him
in destroying the racketS which have
diSgraced sections Of the state for years
1t is clear that Mr.. Warren has a we'll
considered and effective program for the
suppression both of gambling and other
rackets which prey upon the public. He
deserves the support and cooperation not
only of the district attorneys but Of the
public generally in his honest, deter
mined and courageous work.

Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

that the airlines and CAA, work
ing together. have just about got
the safety problem licked. A glance
at the figures shows the astounding
strides made in the last two years
Best guage for measuring all
safety is the number of passenger
miles flown per passenger fatality
From 1888 through 1888. this fig
ure varied from a low of 100000
to a high of 22.0OO,OOO. Variations
we're pretty haphazard and practi-
cally no improvement was visible
over the six-year period.
Then things began to happen
The 1889 record jumped to $4,000
600 passenger miles per fatality. AND
even that four-fold increase IN
safety looks small compared with
tho new record. At the end OF March
commercial airplanc Transportation
set the amazing mark of having
flown 75O.OOO.OO0 passenger miles
without fatality.
To make that graphic, CAA points
ont that it is equivalent to taking

A CORPORAL DIRECTS
4 fAR-flUNG ARMY

In most armies, strategy Is planned
and carried out by men who have years
of experience in soldering behind them
who have been trained for their loDS
to the nth degree, and who have won
their commands because of military aOlI-
ity.
The German armies are different. A
corporal has the final word there. Nor
is he corporal whose life has been
devoted to soldering. Napoleon was
that. Hitler is not. He became cor
poral during the World War. after ne
had been soldier only a short time. lie
ceased to be corporal, or soldier
either, right after the war.
Sooner or later, man with no more
experience than that in military STRAIT
egy is bound to make mistake. Most OF
the time. perhaps. he listens to train
ed soldiers. But now and then il is only
natural, considering human nature. that
he will use his gigantic power to over
ride the advice of his trained experts.
If he does that very often. fatal mis-
takes are inevitable.
Perhaps the invasion of Norway was
such a mistake From here. it Is hard
to conceive of German military experts
ing to such a dangerous adventure. 1t
seems more reasonable to suppose that
the idea was Hitler'S.
Hitler is a genius among his kind.
certainly. But his genius has acted
through diplomatic bluff not through
military strategy. Everything he has
gained has beer gained by bluff. Now,
for the first time. he is squarey up
against the necessity for military action
How will he make cut?
Perhaps it is too early to say, but in
the light of current news it appears al
most certain that the Norwegian inva-
sion comes very near to being what Win
ston Churchill called it in the British
house of commons. the greatest strategic
error since Napoleon invaded Spain
Certain it is that Hitler has lost more
ships and more men in the Norwegian
campaign than he could afford to lose.
Even if he wins there it will be a costly
victory. And every day that passes seems
to give him less chance of winning.
Hitler, they say, is ambitious to re-
place Napoleon in history. But Hitler
it may be. will discover that a corporal
was higher ranking officer and a more
experienced soldier in Napoleon's day
than he is today.

the PIONEERS

Saturday Imperial Valleys pioneers
will gather at the county fair grounds
in Imperial for their annual picnic con-
fab and election of officers.
The meeting is one that deserves more
attention than it normally obtains.
The men and women who gather at
Imperial are the ones who made possible
the job of every person in the valley to-
day. Without them, the valley would
still be wasteland dotted by salt spots
and sparse bits of brush.
Interesting people whose life is replete
with interesting eXperiences-thse pio-
neers ARE Imperial Valley. Their cour-
age, their achievements, their foresight,
are reflected in every city, every farm
in fact, in every tOWn-in the valley.
In years to come there will be a great
TODD about the pioneers. There will be
affairs arranged in their honor. there
will be tributes to them in glowing
phrases, there will be all sorts Of hon
ors heaped upon their heads.
But why wait? 1t should not be nee
essary for time to magnify their achieve
ments. They are big enough now.
