Many business firms have been gratifed by improved busi- ness conditions. The Schenley or ganization, for example, has en- joyed in the past 12 months more than a 50 per cent increase in its business with Alaskan mer chants as compared with the previous 12 months" MT. Wiehe pointed out.
 He said that the national em- ergency created by the European war has emphasized the need for complete unity of purpose and action on the part of every in- dustry that contributes to our national economy"
 "This distilled spirits industry said MT. Wiehe, lis anxious to do its part and, according to es- inmates, will pay $85,000,000 a. its share of the current national defense tax measure.
 'sThe industry is giving tang ible evidence of it's cooperation he said. There is now being formed-for the first time an organization whose duty will be to guarantee that our industry functions comparatively during this period of stress. This group consists of representative dis tilers, rectifiers and wholesalers
 "It is our hope that the dis

Alaska Haven
 For Sufferers From Hayfeyer

That hayfever sufferers in the continental United States may turn a hopeful nose toward Al aSka this summer was indicated by report of daily tests made during July, August and Sep tember of last year in Nome, Fairbanks and Juneau, The sur Vey was conducted under the supervision of O. C. Durham, chief botanist of Abbott Labor atories, North Chicago, H., and was read before the American So ciety for the Study of Allergy June 10 at Hotel Commodore, New York. This group is meet ing in connection with the an- nual convention of the American Medical Association.
 MT. Durham sain that these 1889 pollen count" tests, made in cooperation with the U. S. Weather Bureau, were probably the first ever conducted in AL aska, and showed that the terri tory is virtually free from rag weed pollen, chief cause of hay fever, and of most other wind borne pollens which affect so many sufferers, especially in the mid-Western and eastern parts of the United States.
 "A total of 276 slides were ex- posed in these Alaskan cities dur ing their summer months" he said, yet the total number of significant airborne particles found on all of them was much less than is frequently found on a single "A hour slide in the ag- riculturaI areas of the United States. Fairbanks, most norther- ly of the three stations and the only inland point had the fewest pollen grains and the most spor- es-Nome, the feWest spores and most pollen.
 'Two thirds of all pollen en- countered in Alaska" said Dur ham, "were grass pollens, and abundant enough to mark a de- finite season of pollination. This period was during the first two weeks in July in Juneau and Fairbanks and during the first half of August in Nome. Several other pollen spores were caught, but they were of the 'non-sneez- ing" variety.
 MT. Durham concludes: Thus the possibility of inhalent allergy from pollen and spores in Al aska is remote or confined at most to a few days of light ex- posture to grass pollen in late June and early July in southern and central Alaska, and a month later in the vicinity of Nome" "
 Last summer Mir. Durham flew to Seattle via United Air Lines and made aerial as well as ground studies of pollens in the Pacific northwest. He found that this part of the country was also virtually free from ragweed and other irritating wind-blown pol lens. Ths fact has received much attention throughout the "hay- fever belts" of the United States therefore his conclusions are that the state of Washington as we'll as Alaska are fine spots for hay fever sufferers to visit during the uncomfortable season.

at the mercy Of the noise and lights
of traffic.
Noise is controlled as far as possi-
BILE by law and after time Is no.
ticed less, but car headlights which
flash into a living room or garden
are a constant nuisance. Much of
this annoyance can be planted out"
by the judicious use of screen OF
trees and shrubbery, and the say
ing "Out of sight, out Of mind" is
aptly proved.
Work out on paper the angle at
which the light enters your house

trees to shut 1t out. Plant at the
base of either evergreen or poplar
two of the best known screens)
either PROSTATE evergreens or flow
ering shrubs to fill in the open
space close to the trunk. If it is
impossible to get trees large enough
for a screen Immediately, a section
of woven wood fence may be set up
until the trees have gained sufficient
growth.
Repeat the same type of planting
on the other side of your property
to carry out the natural effect of
the whole. No. is large shade

INDICTED LABOR
 LEADER EXPOSED
George Scalise Had Ex. pended Union Funds Just
 About as He Pleased

Chicago, May -tUP)-deorge scalise, resigned president Of the Building Service Employes Union who is under indictment on charges of extortion, disposed of more than Si 800 ,000 of his unions funds on his own order, preliminary investi. gation of the unions records showed today.
 William c. Crawford, assistant states attorney In charge of Q grand fury investigation of ScaliseS actiVl. ties from January l, 1885, to April 90, i040, said the records had been examined by himself and two as- sistants to District Attorney Thomas E, Dewey of New York city who ob- tained an indictment against the labor leader last week.
 Crawford said that the estimate of Scalise's expenditures was pre- limlnary and subject to revision after the grand jury had examined the records which were subpoenaed last night, to determine whether "certain transactions and disposal of union 
 assets were in violation of Illinois laws"
 Crawford said that review of the records had shown that the union had received $i,800.000 in dues from its members - charwomen, window washers, elevator operators and jan itors-during three years but that there was only $92,000 in the treas ury now. Among the expenditures listed, he said, was $i22,400 for maintenance of Chicago headquar- ters of the International, the New York city office where Scalise made his headquarters, and for dues to the American Federation of Labor.
 The remainder was spent as S:alise saw fit, Crawford said. These expen- ditures included $78.400 for his own salary and expenses during l939, monthly expense accounts that ran well into three figures and travelling expenses of $l9,000 between May l, 1887, and April, i94o.

Workers who wish to check the accuracy of their social security ac- counts for old-age and survivors in- surance, or those past 66 who wish to file claim for insurance payments, do not need to pay anyone to assist them, Robert E. Austin, manager of the Social Security Board field office In Waterbury, pointed out today. He said that the Social Security Board will furnish employees with every assistance in checking their accounts and in filing claims for insurance payments,
 Mistaken Opinion
 Recent inquiries received by the field offices, Mir. Austin said, indicate belief on the part of some workers that they need to pay for the serV- Ices of an outside person in order to be sure that their rights are pro- tected. He explained that the So- cial Security board has the duty of keeping accurate wage records and paying insurance benefits to all eligible persons and that 1t IS fully prepared to carry out It's responsi- bility. He added, however, that nothing prohibits the worker from being represented by on outside per- son If he so wishes.
 MT. Austin stated that any work CT who wishes to check the wages credited to him can get for this pur- pose 6 return post card at the field office. If he fills this in and malls 1t, he will promptly receive Q report from the boards central wage-record office at Baltimore, which will show the wages reported by his employer and credited to his account.
