Idea on Fatigue
I noticed what l thought was a
very sensible attitude of the Mexi-
can laborer to fatigue. / saw an old
man carrying bundle on his head,
and all of a sudden the afternoon
let-down" seemed to get him. He
lust squatted down in a doorway,
rested his bundle, and fell fast
asleep. l understand that here, up
north, the idea prevails in some Of
fees that when the afternoon let
down occurs, the Office force is mus
tered and put through some exer-
cises to wake them up. The poor
things go back to work even more
tired than before the restorative
was applied. How much better it
would be, instead of further IA
tiguing them or recommending a
Jolt of some awakening connection
at the soda fountain, to provide
touches for them and allow a 20
minute snooze! l wager the work
would be done twice as well after
that as after an exercise period.

live in and off the jungle-they
build their houses of straight sticks

physicians to see how smoothly it
works in Mexico, where saw many
things of medical interest on my re-
cent southern jaunt.
There was a phantasy in one of
Samuel Buffers notebooks whlch
described a topsy-turvy situation in
which, instead of cooks applying to
housewives for positions, the mis-
tresses applied to the cooks. And
the understanding and good-tem-
pered mistress got the beautiful and
accomplished cook. In our land the
patients select their physicians, and

That Corridor Across Canada
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Fairbanks News-Mner)
 Washington dispatches report a possibility of the United States being granted a corridor through Canada for the proposed highway from the States to Alaska as a military emergency The arrange ment is suggested in case America transfer addi- tional warshps to Britain.
 The highway, built, would serve not only the United States but also vast virgin region of Canada both for wartime and peace-time purposes
 Since the highway long has been mooted and both countries have commissions which have sat in many parleys the proposition it is difficult to understand why the route not included among the emergency arrangements to mutual defense of the United States and Canada made within the last few months Not only the major western high continent, and rights of the Americans to build across the intervening strip of Canadian territory from Haines to the Alaska highway connection could easily have been provided And the Canadians could have been assured their long sought open port at Skagway elsewhere the Alaskan coast for their hinterlands of Yukon and British Columbia.
 It is not too late to go into the matter, whether the highways be deemed advisable for present con- struction or in the distant future Defense and de- velopment needs of Alaska and Canada identical and will continue so This applies to air routes as well land routes.
 Since the projects come to realiza- tion without getting down to give -and-take re- cprocal agreement, why not bring the matter to head while both parties are in the mood Britain is going to need a vast new tonnage of American built shipping, almost certain to be sought in the immediate future. Here's another good chance to open and press the reciprocal arrangements whether they be exercised today in years to come.
 The way to open and defend a continent from center to circumference is for the people of that continent to function in unison. If ever there was time and opportunity it is now

 Roosevelt's small visitors consist cd of a boy and two girls, one be- ing attired in boys clothes. This prompted some teasing by her con- panions, but finally the other little girl turned to Roosevelt and said seriously: MT President we're only joking. She isn't boy, she's a girl"
 Roosevelt laughed, picked up the boy-girl in his arms. Are you real ly a girl?" he teased. You make fine looking boy with that hair cut"

Sabotage and Accidents
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Scarcely day passes without its story of eX- plosions in armament works. Almost without ex- ception the explanation offered Is sabotage.
 Of measure of sabotage in plants working or government orders, and of efforts by subversive groups to impede the progress of rearmament there s of course, no reasonable doubt. It would be toe much to expect that in world which has been SC much under the influence of fifth columns in the last year two this nation would be entirely free of their activities
 But 1t should also be remembered that large numbers of inexperienced persons em- ployed in the production of high explosives. Ir many the processes are new. By the nature of the task before us, great deal of experimental ton is necessary and where inexperience and ex- perimentaon get together in the business of making armaments on grand scale accidents are all but unavoidable.
 The Department of Justice should not relax ir the slightest in it's campaign against Reds and other enemies of rearmament It should not act however upon the presumption that where there industria accidents in these days there is sabotage and other fifth column activity

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
TUESDAY, DECEMBER F

TUESDAY, DECEMBER IT ] Benefic aspects rule today. The morning should be most favorable for intellectual work and lucky for making plans regarding the future. Whatever promotes pleas ant ventures in the way of recre- ation should be lucky. Theaters should profit.
 Heart and Home: Women are under the influence of kindly stars which encourage hospitality, holi- day preparation and Christmas shopping. Girls may expect much romance, for suitors are to be many among young men prepar- ing for service in the army, navy and aviation corps. Quick wooings and nasty marriages may be nu- merous this winter. This is fla vorable sway under which to discern the true character of men and women.
 Business Affairs: Public health should concern employers, for the stars presage much illness as the winter progresses. Trade will be brisk following the holiday sea son. There will be a widespread de- mand for men and women trained in mechanical vacations. Unem- ployment will become a dead issue as those who are not able to work are accepted as charges to | be well supported from public i funds. Science is to make progress in caring for the unfit and pre- venting the increase of the men tally weak.
 National Issues: Foodstuffs are to be in great demand for war vic tims in Europe and Asia. Relief | policies will be widely discussed from opposing points of view, but care of helpless children is to be advocated by Americans of all classes. Canada is to be even more of good neighbor in the friendly relations maintained with the Unit ed States as unity of democratic aims is recognized. Distinguished visitors from abroad will be enter tained in Washington.
 Foreign Affairs: Russia continues under sinister rule of the stars The chart of Moscow places Nep- tune in an aspect believed to re- move foreign points of view from the possibility of sympathetic un- derstanding. Stalin has an ill omen in his horoscope. This may presage illness or accident which inter- feres with the secret plans of the dictator who should not be trust ed by Uncle Sam.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year oi average good fortune, but it will be wise to obtain longer rest and to refrain from worry.
 , Children born on this day prob- ably will be strongly individual ambitious and intuitive. If born in the morning they will be especially fortunate all through life.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM ENGLAND

England, glad for assistance from the only na- ton in the world which has lifted hand to help her in the struggle against Hitler is nevertheless changing her attitude toward the United States.
 letter received recently by Burrass Smith, Juneau aviation mechanic, from his father in England points up this growing feeling that the people of the United States are not being quite so big about this thing they might be.
 Its good continually coming from the U. S." writes the elder Smith, but I wish it came for better reason. They agree and thank the British Navy for keeping the sea open and the Ger mans in check and send no end of material help and then they rather spoil it by putting it down as being given to help the British keep the Germans out of America and that America won't have to actually fight This is not a very praiseworthy reason and I don't believe it represents the real feeling USA. should help us for the simple reason that we are endeavouring to do decent thing and they as decent folk have the reaction to bullies and brutes who lie and cheat and beat and rape and steal and kill and seek to enslave whole peoples
 That, I should think is their real reason for wishing to help and I don't believe their men don't want to fight with the guns they make Those who came over in the last war had grit and guts then, so why not now?"
 The feeling of MT Smith and other Englishmen is a natural one They in the midst of the most ruthless attack in history and dislike seeing other oo much easier time of it.
 But the decisions this nation has made to safe guard itself against involvement which would mean war for the United States wise safeguards and are favored almost unanimously by the American people. What doing for England at the pres ent time is all we would be able to do for her if we were actually at war with Germany. If England is not satisfied with that and if England doesn't feel we are doing it largely because we have the same reaction to bullies and brutes she has, we're sorry.
 MT. Smith and other Englishmen should re- member that the United States, much more than England is a political democracy. The argument that what we doing for England is done for self protection is which has to be made in order to bring isolatonists and opposition ists around to a state of mind where they will ing to go along with the decent folk" of the United States. Incidentally the argument happens to be a good and true

WARNING

It is with mixed feelings that we learn Norman Bel Geddes creator of the Futurama at the New York's World Fair, has started on a two-year moder- nzation plan for Ringing Brothers -Barnum & Bailey Circus.
 His idea of exhibiting animals in more natural surroundings safe enough, so long as the surroundings permit customers to feed peanuts to the elephants. But when he talks of abandoning the "big top" for canvas auditorium without poles suspended instead by portable steel towers-then we begin to wonder.
 The next thing, we fear, will be introduction of a new puverized plastic for sawdust, vtamin pills for peanuts and ultra voletray treated carrot juice for pink lemonade.

order to offset the great cold of high altitudes--20 to 30 below zero heated the interior of their fight ing planes. This proved mistake, since the interior heat frosted the windshields and prevented clear vision. Thus, French aviators, in- stead Of fighting it out with the German invaders, had to turn tail and fly home.
 The American remedy is to pro- vide the fliers with equipment that will keep them warm without heat ing up the plane. The Germans used a silk underwear arrangement which was wired for warmth from the planes generator.
 The proposed rubber equipment includes suit, gloves, and boots Though rubber ordinarily is an in. ;ulator, it can be made to transmi electricity and throw off heat il he process. This is the princ,ple o he self-heating suit now undergo ing tests at Dayton.

WHAT BRITONS READ

WPA's library service made an interesting discovery in survey to ascertain what the people of war 5trafed Britain are reading these days.
 One fact uncovered was that the long. dreary hours of blackout, with 10 outside recreation. have greatly revived interest in household arts and handicraft. Books on these sub- iects are at premium. Also, the classics are in heavy demand, with Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dickens ano 4ipling as the favorites.
 But the one subject in which 3ritons are most interested is the ruthor of their affliction. The most yidely-read book in England, ac- cording to WPA survey, is Hitiers 'Mein Kampf."

It really happened recently, and amazing as it sounds, there were no casualties, nor was it necessary even to call out the Coast Guard The strangely assorted quartet in- cluded Jim Rowe, young admins trative aide of the President; Ted Church, radio director of the COP National Committee; Dick Sanger, leader of the Young Republican Clubs; and Tom Eliot, newly elected New Deal Congressman from Mas sachusetts.
