There are spies and sabateurs in this country and the nation should be on the alert for them. But that doesn't mean that every time a shoelace comes unti=d it's the work of Nazi pixies.
 Some people seem to think SO. Here are two examples from the news:
 l. The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad announces that the explosion of a locomotive boiler in Denver may have been caused by sabotage or low water pressure
 2. The Associated Press reports that New Britain, Conn, was plunged into darkness for two minutes the other night when the power failed. The AP adds this omnibus sentence: The trouble, as yet undetermined, delayed pro duction in many factories work ing on Government defense con- tracts

HOLLYWOOD STAR -LITES
By Chuck Cochard Whats In \ Name

HOLLYWOOD tEXcfusiveD - Names are an important part of motion picture players person ality.
 The fact that many of the big g st stars in Hollywood were giv- n new names with their motion picture debuts, testifieS to the stress laid on prcper sounding names. Many a, talented youngE ster hit Hollywood under names which either wouldn't fit on theater marque $, were unpro- lounceable, or lacked euphony.
 Norma Shearer's real name is Norma Shearer. She once refus- ed a contract while getting start ed in New York because it en- tailed changing her name to Pearl Glory. Mickey Rooney's real name is Joe Yule, Jr. He became Mickey McGuire when he created the famous cartoon character at the age of five. When ne outgreW the McGuire role and ould no longer u the name, he ool his present name, Mickey Rooney.

 ar was Spangler Arlington Brugh and Joan CaSsin became ioan Crawford and has become one of HollyWood's great under that name.
 Greta Gustafson was not TO- eaantic. but Greta Garbo carried
 ] aura of romance, mystery and importance. Frank Morgan was
 e.ginally Frank Wupperman of
 he Angostura Bitters Wupper- mans of New York City.
 Judy Garland was christened Helen Gumm shortly after she arriveds on this earth. She hap pened to be playing on the same vaudeville bill with George Jes- sel in Chicago. Impressed with the child's ability. Jessel asked her name. "Gumm,' said the little singer. What fIavor?n ask ed Jessel. That was enough. It was Jessel who personally select

Another Dream Vanishes
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Once upon a time the Russians thought it would be a fine thing If tn private soldiers in their army elected their own officers discussed every command given and held a debate on whether to go into action or not. That was in the days when the BolShevik rsvolutionaries were kidding the people with slogans of land and bread" and creating soldiers and sailors soviets."
 Conditions have now changed. That great hero of the people, Joe Stalin, will take no chanc- es with the peopls, not even with these citizens drafted into the Red Army. Not long ago conven- tional ranks were restored to the armed forces. Singleness of com mand was established and the post of Political Commissar, who had split authority with the mill tary commander, abolished.
 Now new Disciplinary Regula tions" have been introduced which go far beyond anything in any other army in the world. To cite from the new code:
 In the eV-nt of disobedience, open resistance. or malicious breach of discipline, the officer has the right to use all measures Of co.apulsion, including arms. The officer, moreover, shall not be responsible for the consequenc es, if he should be compelled to use force and arms for the pur- pose of restoring discipline. * " !" Any offer who fails to show toughness and decision will himself be tried by a military tribunal"
 According to the Peoples Com missar for Defense, Marshal Sem yon K. Timoshenko, the purpose of the new regulations is "to in still in all ranks of tn Red Army the realization that the officers order is law, and that all famil- iarity and pseudo democracy in the relation between the officer and his subordinate cannot have place in the Red Army. The en- listed men are absolutely for bidden to discuss any order"
 An army run on the early so- Viet system, like other fairy tales 10 which the Russians paid allegi- ance, has vanished with exper- ience. Just let some poor, drafted mujik shout, Long live the sol diers and sailors sovietsn

Juneau Asks For Air Raid Protection

Discussion for building and
 quipping of air raid shelters in Juneau came up spontaneously at a recent Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting, as members rose in rapid succession to voice their views and thc necessity of obtaining protection from any possible air attack on Juneau.
 The discussion started when A torney R. E. Robertson gave re- birth to the proposal os construct ing a S16,O00 tunnel from Main Street into the Evergr en Bowl for added recreatonal facilities and for at least partial protection against air raiders" Members quickly caught up the idea from the defens angle and pointed out how vulnerable Juneau Is to attack.
 Robertson mentioned that . large ship swung in Gas,ineaG Channel in the lee of the Al rock dump fer almost T day, and no one in Juneau kn " the iden, fly of the vessel and many did not know that it was there. The attorney brought up the advan- tage of protection from the tun- nel in addition to the solving of recreational areas for Jun au children and an aid to present traffic accidents near the schools.
 A J Too Far Away
 Dr. William M. Whitehead said that ae has been considering for s.x months building an air raid
 heller in his back yard. "Wha ehahce would my wifi and three children have climbing those steps to the shelter of the Alaska Juneau shafts while a raid is ir pro ogreSs? Former experiences of other D. oples show that they would Dc Strafed by machine guns from planes, and never have a chance of getting to the mine. Gentlemen, the situation is more serious than W think"
 Use Mine Sha ts
 Most readily accepted and ac- claimed suggestion of the intense discussion was that of Trevor Davis when he pointed out tha there are veral abandoned mine shafts in the Evergreen Bowl and in Court House Hill, that could very easily and mex pensively be turned into effect iV protected, convenient shel ters
 More skepGcal members of the merchants Were shown that black ou5s in Seattle and Ke.chi6an, aad construction of shelters in Los Angeles was in the same lin ai bought and have been going st i,r several months.

Take Back
Few Urban
.OuSeS

Tho rate Of urban real estate
foreclosures is less in smaller COM
munities than in the more popu-
lous urban districts. it is pointed
out today in an article in the
January issue of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Review.
A constant relationship 10 the
county size is shown by the fore
closure rate, with the larger coun-
ties reporting progressively higher
foreclosures. the article shows.
In the first IL months of 1910,
a special survey revealed that
urban foreclosures numbered only
Is per 1000 dwellings in counties
having less than 5000 non-farm
dwellings. while in counties with
between 5000 and 10000 DWELL
ings. the foreclosure rate was IS
per thousand homes.
In the next group, 10000 TO Co.
600 dwellings, the foreclosure rate
was AZ per thousand; and in coun-
ties of $1,000 dwellings and over.
the highest rate occurred, Cd fore

Two NorgeUnits

In Ideal Home
Porches Have Entirely
S eparate System
From House Proper

Setting a new high for efficiency
and economy in a field already
notable for tremendous advances
during the last few years, the
Norge heating and warm air con-
ditioning installation in the 1941
Ideal Home will be of particular
interest TO all present and pros
pective home owners.
In what is believed to be an
entirely new departure in heating
practice for homes Of this size. the
installation employs two separate
and independent Norge units. The
larger of these is a Norge model
100 with rated capacity of
10000 B. T. U. per hour. It is
employed to heat the entire house
with the exception of the two
large. glass-enclosed porches at
the rear.
The porches are heated through
an entirely separate system of
ducts from that employed for the
house proper. and heat for the
porch system is supplied by a
Norge model 80. rated at 10000
B. T. U. per hour Both the model
120 and the model 80 are of the
-eA-hret- pressure type and are
virtually identical except in size
and capacity.
Two separate thermostats are
used to control operation of the
units. Control for the house unit
is from a mounting on the front
wall of the house inside the first
vestibule The therrnostat con-
trolling the porch temperatures is
located on the house wall of the
Economy OF operation is served
in several ways: At times when
it is not desired to heat the
porches- the smaller unit may be
shut off completely. or may be set
to maintain only relatively low
porch temperature with corre-
spending fuel saving.
Equipment for the system was
supplied by w. T. Andrew Com
pany. distributors in Detroit for

ton. and installation was made by
contractor Del Loeffler. Duct
work and registers were supplied
by the Detroit Safety Furnace
Company.

ty land ownership,

by land ownership" ----
Greene said the placing of re-
possessed homes in new and re-
sponsible financial hands has been
of tremendous assistance in the
recovery of residential property
values in the Detroit area. The
gradual liquidation of real estate
held by financial institutions is
acting as a balance wheel prevent
ing speculative building of an un-
sound nature As these elder
properties pass to responsible in
dividual ownership they will con-
tinue to act as such balance
wheel, he said.
He expressed the opinion that
the conflict abroad as-net dis
couraged the national desire for
h o m ownership. Furthermore.
he pointed out, cost of home
has maintained its pre-
vious level rather than increased,
as had been expected in some quar-
tiers at the beginning of hostiIities.
"It Is certain" Green said,
"that whatever the future may
bring, the home financing struc-
future of the country today Is
better prepared to face any
emergency than ever before i'm
history. Protection for home
owners and lending institutions
alike, has treasured the public
as to the safety Of owning homes
and has attracted important cap
. ital back into the field of the
home mortgage loan"

If Bobbitt finds that everything
in the application checks all right
with the requirements of the fed
eral government applicable to such
projects, he pointed out, the appli-
cation will then be forwarded to
the national headquarters office of
the Works Projects administration,
for approval.

that it will be cleared right away
through the WPA offices in Wash

The application is expected to
be sent to Washington as soon as
Bobbitt has completed his check
of the. project details and C. c..
