Gives Excellent Report.
Our county nurse, Miss Virginia
Karlson, who has been here the past
18 months, gave an excellent report,
and presented a mimeographed re-
port of the period which should be
read by those who are interested in
the development of public health
nursing in our county.
Miss Ann Nyquist, advisory field
nurse, from the state department gave
her views on the development of the
service in the county and was graft
fed in the way it has worked out.
She pointed out that our biggest
trouble was getting money to finance
the service, but each year this has
been taken care of in a satisfactory
manner.
DR.. Victor Wilson, director Division
of Child Hygiene from the State de-
partment gave an interesting statisti-
cal report on maternal care, and told
how Pine county was an average
county in the state, in the care of
mothers and babies. This of course
can be improved on as the nurse
urges better care and gives the moth
ers advice on how to procure this
care.
Former County Resident Speaks.
DR.. Robert Barr, director of Rural
Health Service, formerly resident of
Bruno, where his father was pastor of
the Bruno and Willow River Presby-
terian churches when the doctor was
grade pupil, also spoke. The fami-
ly moved from here to Duluth, and
the next time we hear of him he is
with the state department in medi-
cal capacity giving as excellent a
service in his field as his father in
his rural church work. This is the
first time DR.. Barr has visited here
to help in continuing the health work.
He gave many suggestions on how to
continue and congratulated Miss Karl
son and other workers on such a fine
organization, was also interested to
find SO many at a county meeting.
DR.. M. Nydahl, head of the Bureau
for Crippled Children from the Di-
vision of Social Welfare, told of the
amazing number of disabled children
there were and how the state car
ries on program to help get them
to as near normal children as possible

the abilities of the individual pupil to be carried out. If, in ex- treme cases, the tests indicate that demotion is best for the pupil his welfare will be the first consideration, for psychologists have concluded that it is far better for the mental health of the child to give him work that he can do and thus experience the satisfaction of attainment, than to suffer him to set up habits of Illustration, non-accom- plishment, and idleness because of inability to do the work de- manded of him.
 May we remind you again that the school welcomes your visits for in that way only may you be- come familiar with the work and aims of the educational system.

Kodiak School Has
 Record Enrolment

The Kodiak Public School
 closed it's first month with the
 following enrolment: 1st grade
 3l; 2nd grade 25; 3rd grade 31;
 4th grade 30; 5th grade 19; 9th
 grade 26; Eth grade 37; 8th grade
 23; High School 63; making
 a grand total of 2S5 pupils. The
 increased enrolment has made necessary the use, by the eighth
 grade, of ono of the rooms de-
 voted to high school work last
 year. This left one room in
 which to attempt to carry on the
 work of a four-year high school.
 Manifestly this would have been
 impossible. So thru the efforts of the city council, the use of the American Legion Hall was grant, ed. We wish to take this oppor- tunity to thank individually and collectively the members of the Legion for their public spirited ness in permitting the use of the hall" said R. L. Clifton, school superintendent.
 Not as much interest in Vo- cations was manifested as we hoped for, as the course was given at the insistenee of Dr. Ryan, the Commissioner of Ed ucation. Juneau, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Valdez and other towns have begun similar courses and report very satisfactory enroll ment. Perhaps with a better re- alization of the work that the vo- catlonal course offers, there will l be an additional enrolment. l D..

 In order to assist the teacher n>the correct grading and class ification of her pupils, a testing program was instituted and is under way. The Otis SA: Otis Classification; Metropolitan Reading Readiness; Metropolitan Reading Achievement, Primary; and the Flames Eye Tests in a of cases where the pupil seemed to need such a test, have been administered and in most instances the interpretations of the tests worked out. Conferences with the teachers will aid them in diagnosing the difficulties and abilities of their pupils and thus enable a program consistent with

AMERICANS STILL HELD
 BY JAPANESE
No Explanation for Nof Permitting 100 10 Leave
 British Also in Trouble

TOKYO, Aug. 19.-British sub jects trying to leave Japan are meeting with the same Illustrations as Americans, it is learned here tonight.
 AS whole, the subject became more complicated.
 Responding to the official Ameri- can statement that Japan has not given any satisfactory explanation for refusal to permit 100 Ameri- cans to leave aboard the liner Presi- dent Coolidge, the Japanese Gov ernment spokesman disclaimed any intention to hold Americans as hostages.
 Koh Ishii declared that the ques- tion depended upon certain incon- veniences" in the Japanese-Ameri- can relations but implied these did not involve trade, political or other international issues.
 The Japanese generally continued to express concern over the United States aid to Russia.
 Ishii himself stated Japan could not remain indifferent to any such help.

Wafer Shortage, kefehikan
 Area, Flinders Operations of
 Canneries;; Lakes Drying Up

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Aug. 19.- Continued summer weather this month ill this section of Southeast Alaska is assuming drouth propor- tions as some canneries and mines experience serious water shortages.
 Lighthouse stations have become dependent on ships for water. For the first time in history, the Cape Decision light station on Kuiu Island, near Ketchikan, is without water, due to drying up of two lakes at the southern end of the island.
 The Coast Guard cutters Nemaha and Cyane have been kept busy transporting water to Cape De- cisicn, Guard Island, Three Point and Eldred Rock lighthouses. all of which are ordinarily served by col lecting rainwater or by lakes.
 Gamers On Spot
 Canneries find themselves between the frying pan and the fire, due to the rainless weather. Canned sal- mon is piling up on their docks, due to the shortage of ships to take the pack south. At the same time, they need rain for their water supply, but rain would damage the cases of can ned fish on the docks.
 Hawk Inlet and Rake canneries have reported just enough water to get by.
 Three pumps which have been in acticn to maintain water in Ketchi- kan's Reservoir Lake from the sec- ond lake have reduced the water level in the second lake four feet below the level in Reservoir Lake. Without this water source, Ketchi- kan would be in a serious fix for water and power.
 Practically No Rain
 The rainfall this month here is 76 of an inch, compared with a month ly average rainfall of 11.57 inches.
 The Gold Standard Mine, at near by Helm Bay, has suspended opera tions because of lack of water. Dr G. E. Dickinson, one of the owners said the situation there is the worst seen in 40 years. Visitors from Loring report the stream there is at it's lowest since 1927.
 Wrangell also reports a serious water shortage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Sena- tor Hiram w. Johnson, Republican of California, today told the Senate that President Roosevelt's joint statement with Churchill of Anglo American peace aims constituted an offensive and defensive alliance be- tween Britain and the United States"
 He made this statement in a stormy debate precipitated by the denial by Senator Alben Barkley, Democratic leader of Kentucky. on the possibility of sending an Am erican expeditionary force to help Britain invade Europe, which had been discussed at a conference be- tween Roosevelt and congressional leaders yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-United States business men finally have decided that we are i'll a national emergency-and that business-as- usual is as dead as last weeks ticker tape.
 I got it straight from the Wash ington lawyers.
 The Washington lawyers are m a class by themselves. Their busi- ness thrives in direct proportion to government activity in private in- dustry. When sailing is compara- lively smooth in the marts of trade, most Washington lawyers are as idle as a fisherman who forgot to bring along the worms. But when the laws of the land start dumping apples out of the industrial cart here and there, capital legal lights have to weight their coat-tails.
 That's why seven or eigh months ago, when national de- fense began to boom; when the Army and Navy were splitting whereases in thousands of con- tracts; when there came the first rumble of priority talk-Washing- ton lawyers peeled off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, and got ready for the avalanche of business they felt certain would strike with

(By Associated Press)

Hitler's high command reported today that Germany and it's allies have overrun all the Ukraine terri tory east of the Dnieper River and announced violent new assaults against the siege-bound port of Odessa on the Black Sea.
 On the northern front Red Army bulletin acknowledged that the jaws of the giant German and Finnish nut-cracker is closing in on Lenin- grad with bitter fighting raging only 75 miles southwest of the old-time capital of the Czars.
 The German high command fur ther reported the capture of Russian fleet units under construction at Nikolaev, fallen Black Set port. in- cluding a 35,000-ton battleship. a 10.000-ton cruiser, four destroyers and two submarines.
 Tn addition to this capture. the high command said German bomb- CTS disabled three Soviet warships including a heavy cruiser in waters off Odessa.
 Authoritative quarters in London said the German occupation west of the Dnieper River is not a death blow to Russia, but if the Nazis suc- ceed in smashing Marshal Budyen- ny's army, the result would be serious.
 Explosive incendaries were drop ped on the Soviet capital in a new night raid last night in which the Russians said only one German plane broke through.

 An investigator said the total death toll of the $1,500,000 fire may never be known. B. E. Sackett, Special Agent in charge of the Man. haitian Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and King County District Attorney William ODwyer began investigations of possible sabotage.

COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT

We couldn't understand it," one of the legal fraternity explained to me. And as the weeks became months and nothing happened, iI grew all the more puzzling. Why, my business for the first six months of this year actually fell under the period year ago.
 Here, industry was being pulled up by the roots and trans planted in new soil-and yet 1t seemed to be going through this cataclysm without lawyer-with- out even representative in Wash ington."
 But that was month or six weeks ago. Now, all is changed. The avalanche arrived with Washing tons midsummer heat and the Washington lawyers have dropped their fishing poles and niblicks and come back to work.
 It is thumbing through the first few truckloads of cases that their clients have dumped in their laps that has brought the conclusion

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The War Department announced that unless the international sit uation interferes, substantial numbers of selectees and National Guardsmen will be sent home after as little as fourteen months service.
 Approximately 100000 men will be due for release from active service this year in order that they may reach their homes be- fore the Christmas holidays.
 The release of the selectees and Guardsmen will be accom- plished prior to December 9, it is said.
 Late today the War Depart ment further announced that unless the international situa- ton prevented, it was hoped that it would not be necessary to keep any men for the maximum of 30 months.

WASHINGTON Confidential cables to the Commerce Depart ment report that Axis business firms in South America are shipping their files and records to Japan.
 Last week twelve Japanese vessels put in at five different West Coast Latin American ports ostensibly to pick up Tokyo-bound mail. What they actually loaded was hundreds of crates filled with the papers and books of Axis businessmen who had been forced out by the U. s. black list and the freezing of Axis funds.
 Hundreds of Axis firms have shut down all over South America, and thousands of Germans and Italians have been. Hooking to southern Chile, where there is a large German col ony. Their files and papers have followed, all painstakingly marked smail's and sent to Tocopilla and Coouimbo, Chilean ports, or to Mol lendo (Peru), Guayaquil (Ecuador) {, and Buenaventura (Colombia).
 By obvious encouragement, the fleet of 12 Japanese ships arrived at these ports shortly after the records turned up. No effort was made to stop shipment, since the contents of the crates were known to authorities.
 NOTE. Axis funds also are m flight from Latin America, appar- ently fearful of freezing action. Tn one case $5,8OoOO0 in U. s. currency owned by German agent in Brazil was transferred to Santiago, Chile then to Buenos Aires, where instruc- tions were received to convert the money into salable commodities.
