 Ted Andrews clipped the advertise ment from the paper, pasted it into a black notebook. There you are, little brainstorm. Last of long line of brain-children. Now all you have 70 do is deliver"
 Across tho desk. Kay looked up from her list of dealers.
 You're not worried. are you, Ted?" she asked. We've put out 10000 cans of Wondrosoap. Surely we'll sell at least thousand Maybe we'll sell all 10000"
 There are 8 thousand to be given away free" Ted reminded her. "Every person who gets 8 free one will sign for 1t. linen we'll pay them for testimonials, after we get started"
 That's a swell scheme" she said, nodding her head.
 Each dealer gives away one can to each of his first hundred purchasers" Ted went on. We've IS dealers signed up, grocery stores, urug toreS, hardware stores, and one deicatessen. That's 1900 free cans If each one sells his full quota"
 '"Theyil sell it. I've had five calls from dealers asking permis- sion to sell it before the release date" Ted told her. And we'll keep our promise to give away 100 free cans. There's still plenty of soap in the warehouse-989 ,999 cans, to be exact" They laughed together over the figure.
 WoNDROSOAP was 8 hit. Even Flynn, Macleod and Goldberg had to admit 1t as they check ed sales reports until late that night. Every dealer had sold his 100 free gift customers and more, and one, the delicateSsen, had sen a rush or der for more stock.
 Ted figured slowly on a scratch pad. "We must have sold at least 25OO. cans of Wondrosoap. That's $75O clear profit for us, less the cost of the 1900 cans we gave away. And wait until those deal- CTS start reoroering! You1 have the old factory boiling full speed ahead trying to keep up with the demand"
 "It'1 fine, Miss Donovan" Mac Leod admitted. T didn't think it could be done. I'll admit I was wrong"
 Me, too," Goldberg chimed in. ''We should get out of the lawyer business and go into Wondrosoap."
 Grand, girl;" Hymns tear-moist eyes mirrored his pride in Rays achievement. "Now you can start your state sales campaign, and ulti- mately go national. The country is needing cleaner like this. I'm going to take some home and try it on my car"
 They left at last, offering to take Ted into town, but he pleaded, awkwardly. that he had more work to do, and that he didn't mind the walk or the bus ride.
 Kay stood in the moonlight after the lawyers had gone. The factory chimneys cast long shadows on the grourd before her. The ware house lomed black and bulky in

strongly suggests that much of the growing crop was destroyed
 The heavy dependence of the beef and dairy producing nations which the Nazi forces have oc- cupied, upon foreign sources of supply of fodder and forage leads to the conclusion that many herds have also been destroyed in recent months.
 AS offset against these adverse factors the probable increase in the supply of ersatz food pro- ducts needs to be taken into account This was the subject of good deal of discussion in recent weeks Whatever the facts may be to the supply of such foods, the scientists seem to be in virtual agreement the point that the possibilities in this direction very great and that Germany is well on the way to the realization of many of them.
 Up to now there is no suggestion that ersatz foods being produced in quantities sufficient to support the live stock and poultry industries of Dem mark, Holland and the occupied areas of France. On the basis, however of the years probable food pro- duction the foodstuffs previously placed in storage against the probability of war, and the wider use of ersatz materials it appears that Germany and the countries she has occupied need not go hungry if the total available supplies well distributed.
 But such distribution is altogether unlikely, which means that in all probability the Czechs, and Poles and probably the Belgians well are having a hard winter.

Let Us Face the Facts
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Cincnnau Enquirer)
 Although Great Britains prospects materially improved in the last few weeks, it must be recog- nized that the danger of American involvement in appears much greater than at any previous time in more than two decades This is not the re- suit of policy of self-defense through aid to Great Britain. It is not the result of any single development in the European war. The grave turn of events as they concern the United States emerges from the combination of the Japanese, German and Italian moves on the worlds chessboard
 The danger that now looms very near was fore shadowed faintly at the end of last September, when Japan allied herself with Germany and Italy. That agreement among the three totalitarian states was above all else, threat to the United States, and now the squeeze is imminent.
 In Europe the war is nearing an all-out stage. Japan 1t is well-nigh certain, is planning to capi- talize on the European struggle by moving against Singapore positions in the Dutch East Indies simultaneously with Hitlers all-out efforts whether in the Balkans in Spain only against the British Isles. Thus Japan will strike southward just when Britain is most helpless in the Far East, and just when the United States is less willing to take up challenge in the Pacific.
 Our national policy, clearly defined by the President and Congress does not envison participa tion in active warfare So far as aid to Britain is concerned, greatest usefulness lies in industrial production and limited naval assistance But if the Axis powers should seize bases in Spain or off the Portugese and African coasts in the Atlantic the United States would have to go to instantly O.. else accept defeat in South America without show down.
 This is grave enough by itself. If Japan mean while moves against British or Dutch positions in the South Pacific, the United States will have to use its fleet without hesitation or else acknowledge defeat in that without showdown.
 Much they want to avoid war, the American people do not want to preserve peace the price of their security and their childrens security We must be ready, not for the dispatch of army to Europe, but for naval moments notice For Japanese German seizure of bases in either which threaten basic strategy of defenses on the seas would force to make lightning de- cision. If yield those positions to the enemy without struggle shall be inviting war in the future, which will find gravey and unnecessarily handicapped.

VON PAPEN

Franz von Papen, now German Ambassador to Turkey, is the man who, as German Imperial Attache Washington during the years 1913 Q lal7, directed sabotage by Ger man agents who tried to blow up in- dustrial plants and communications all over the continent.
 He was so efficient that he kept a written account of all judgments to sabcteurs, which became incrimi- mating evidence when it was discov- cred and used before the German American Claims Commission. Most sensational of von Papen's activities in World War I were:
 l. Taking U, s. passports for Ger man reservists in this country, want cd for military service in Germany
 ?. Plotting an invasion of Canada ,hrough British Columbia, with the T'd Of German warships in the Pa cific and German reservists in the United States.
 3 Blowing Up the international bridge at Vanceboro. Maine. This Aas actually accomplished by von Papens agent, Werner Horn.
 4. Plotting to blow up the Welland Canal in Ontario. This project was abandoned.
 ,. Aiding efforts to blow up mu- nitions plants, The greatest destruc- ton of this type was at the Black Tom arms depot and Kingsland, N J., arsenal.
 As a devout Catholic and non- member of the Nazi Party, von Papen would no longer be in favor but for 4itler's gratitude for a past service When Hindenburg was President von Papen persuaded him to name Hitler as Chancellor. This was the beginning of Hitler's rise to power

LOYAL LEGISLATORS

A few days ago we had occasion to mention the unseating Of a State Of Washington Legislator be- cause of aaeged suhversive connections. Then we went to show how general housekeeping of undesirable and doubtful characters is under way throughout the nation ana used this an example for careful attitude in Alaska.
 Some of the members of the Alaska Legislature it seems made the inference entirely unintended by The Empire but that they mention it entirely possible from the remarks made, that we were try ing to there might be fellow travellers or worse in the Alaska Legislature. Very rightly they resent any such implication
 Anyone who has watched the Legislature would reject immediately the thought that any of its mem bers might have connections with subversive groups '.e-lo's Laois'etVre probably a good deal more than most, is the very embodiment Of democracy in action. Its members are all above suspicion, and even the suggestion that some of them might be suspect was only the result Of misinterpretation o1 '-meant remarks
 Proof that the Legislators are 100 percent Amer jeans Is the fact that they support contention that safeguards should be placed upon the proposed office of Territorial Commissioner of Labor to see 1t cannot fall into disoyal hands,

FOOD IN EUROPE

The of the Italian Army in North Afr- ca and Albania have raised doubts of the adequacy of Italian supplies and thus revived interest in the whole question of foodstuffs the continent.
 The crop reports, which before the war kept us well informed to probable supplies Of foods pretty well throughout the world, longer available If Germany, for example. knows at this moment how her stock of food products compares with that of year ago, She is not allowing the information to be- public
 There certain basic facts, however bearing upon the situation, which cannot be concealed From the point of view of climate and weather this has not been good crop year on much of the continent Furthermore France and Belgium were invaded just the of the wheat tarvests, fact which

 HACKED TO
 LABOR BILL

Bristling with amendments, Shorr of two-thirds of it's appropriation, but still substantially intact, the bill of Senator Norman R. Walker for es- tablishment of a Territorial De- partment of, Labor passed second reading today in the Senate. Major amendments adopted pro- vide as follows:
 l. It shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Labor to do all in his power to promote voluntary ar bitration, conciliation and media tion of disputes between employees and employers to prevent strikes and lockoutsA within the Territory.
 ?. Removal of provision deem- ing it perjury for an employer to make false statement to the Con- missioner.
 3. It shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Labor to aid and assist resident workers in Alaska to obtain, safeguard and protect their rightful; reference to be em- ployed in industries in this Ter ritory.
 4. No person shall be eligible tc be Commissioner of Labor or ar employee in his office who is ther or at any time in the past has been associated with, advocated supported or defended any group organization or individual engaged in subversive activities against ol opposed to the American form ol government.
 5. Appropriation for the Depart. ment cut from $3O,O0O to $2O,000.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28


 ! On this last day of leap year benefic aspects dominate in plane tary government. The morning hours are suspicious for planning development or expansion of busi- ness. Labor is well directed.
 Heart and Home: Women will play a useful secondary role in world affairs under this configura- ton which encourages preparation for future important work. They may expect happiness in the fam fly and pleasant recreation under this rule of the stars. It is a favorable date for social contacts Girls who are wise now will real lze the importance of discarding masculine styled garments and .areless modes of dress, for men congregated in camps appreciate the feminine note in modes and manners. a Business Affairs: As money cir .ulates freely in many small towns there will be danger from confi- dence men and those who are ievotees of the god of chance. The stars warn of increased interest
 n gambling and reckless specula- tion Wage-earners are enjoined iby astrologers to conserve their money.
 ecause a period is coming when need of thrift will be widespread. fne cost of preparations for in .ulnerable defense must be paid oy all who belong to the nation. National Issues: Public health will be studied with increased in terest as springtime witnesses the spread of diseases due to inSanitary conditions Children must receive scientific attention if the future of the nation is to be worthy of the past, astrologers declare. Foods now will be prepared with special knowledge of their respective values and young women who are wise will make a study of cooking as a fine art.
 International Affairs: Japan is to watch the United States with renewed curiosity as movements of Uncle Sam's Navy offer perplexi- ties. Untoward incidents will multi ply, but apologies will be accepted Automatically until later in the season. An earthquake is to cause severe losses to the people who have been weakened by the long conflict of aggression in China. A gesture by the U. s. is to have a decided effect upon Japanese war policies. Persons whose brthdate it is have the augury of year of un- expected experience Accidents may occur to disturb happiness. Pros perity is forecast.
 Children born on this day will be ambitious and extremely intel lectual in their pursuits They may be impetuous and high -geared, bu' fortunate all through life.

One of the features Of the trans action is the fact that neither the Surgeon General of the Army nor the U. s. Public Health Service were consulted before the site was chosen. Both are readily available, but neith- CT was called.
 When completed, the reservation known as Camp Stewart, Wil house l7,000 troops. Barracks will be on dly slrdy ground. But half mile cast is a swamp of thousands of acres running the length of the reserva- tion. This makes the malaria prob- lem so serious that the Public Health Service had to summon it's ace ma lar;a expert, Dr. L. L. Williams, to set up safeguards.
 Hundreds Of miles of drainage pip ing will be necessary, and WPA &C., tually has to come to the aid of the Army with an allotment of $4o0, GOO
 The average cost of the land so faI has been $14.50 an acre. But a sur vey by the Land Division last year indicated the land could be bought for around $6 an acre.
 However, a re-examination of as- sessed values, it is claimed, showed that many were based on ability to pay taxes a ther than on actual worth; and that the earlier assess ments did not include improvements War Department officials also say that a number of land owners have protested that they are not being paid enough for their property.
