IF The .BIa IDEA" CLICKS
CHAPTER XIX

For q full, hectic week, Bea-
trice and Anthony worked to-
gether over the Great Idea. Co.
ordinated Clothes, or &C., as
they mysteriously referred to it
within the walls OF Huntington's,
led them on merry shopping
tours Of the main floor, during
their lunch hours. They poked
around In Neckwear, and Hand
bags, and Millinery. They COM
pared colors and debated In
great detail such monumental
matters as whether or not q belt
with q flat bow could honestly
be called a tailored belt.
Beatrice took to hiding among
the size 42's, dresses that were

someone bought that navy blue

when that ensembles perfect.
And the tan jersey-Oh, Anth-
ony, suppose someone sees it
there, In between those black
afternoon dresses!"
"Roll 1t up into a corner" he
advised. with one stock girl,
no one will discover it,"
And then, on a Monday 10
days after the idea had been
born, there were five separate
ensembles all ready to be car
ried upstairs to the office of the
merchandise manager. Don't
forget to get back the money you
spent on those bags, hats, and
necklaces, Anthony" He had had
to buy the things from other de.
partments. Naturally he couldn't
explain why he wanted them
taken out Of stock.

Toby Masters asked, as Beatrice
went to the black, size AZ case to
fish out a rescued sample. "All

placidly. She whisked the dress
expertly back into the case as
Miss Dane went by. She re-

Danes coming back in a
minute"
The packages with the hats
and handbags and jewelry were
already upstairs, outside the
merchandise managers office.
Anthony made out slips for the
dresses he was taking upstairs,
signed them, and picked up the
dresses. II wish you could come

She cut in quickly, mot here,

WASHINGTON = Counting in senators. representatives, news men. and observers, l sometimes think there have been more eapitalites than soldiers on army maneuyers this year
 As a result of all the inspections, one of Washington's fayorite pas times now is telling maneuver stor- ies.
 Most often heard are those about the imaginary weapons-like the one about the private who verbally bang-banged until he was out of breath at an enemy private walking down the road. When the enemy still refused to drop dead, the irate private shouted at him: Whats the matter with you, soldier. I shot you with a rifle, a pistol and a machine gum The enemy kept on walking just turning his head to yell back, whats the matter with you, can't you see I'm tank?"
 But these aren't the only stories being told and some of them have a little more basis in fact.
 For instance, word came to one battalion in Louisiana to end man euvers. It was pouring rain and the boys were standing ankledeep in mud As the order was given, one soldier piped up: Swell, now let's all sing God Bless Ameriea'-and leave out Louisiana.
 Louisiana came in for another one | in a story about the hurricane. The I135th Medical corps was eamped in lowlands near Jennings when the storm blew flood into the camp. A conscientious lieutenant. eager to be positive that all his men had got ten out, went wading knee deep down the company street, poking his head into every tent. In one, he discovered a grinning private, sit ting cross-legged on his cot, holding a stick in his hand from which dangled a couple of yards of stout cord. What the devil are you do- iing?o the lieutenant shouted. The soldier eyed his officer in disgust. Cant you see, sir? I'm fishing. The tents full of 'em."
 From Virginia comes the story of how a scouting party ambushed an army truck with two trailers. They
 blocked the road and poured myth ieal shells into truck and trailers. Out of one of the latter hopped a distressed little man. Waving wildly 1 he rushed up to the jubilant cap | tors. You cant capture us" he screamed. We're the army's only mobile tailor shop And so they were.
 Both Texas and the imaginary ] equipment come in for a little rib ping in the yarn about the regiment
 that had beat it's way for seven
 days through the bone dry prohibit
 tion counties in the Sabine river sector. During a rest period on a
 forced march, a sergeant saw one of
 his men paving the air with one
 foot and gesturing endlessly with a
 crooked elbow. What goes on here
 beloved the sergeant. The private walled, "Shueks, Sarge, Pm just hay ing a few imaginary beers. After
 seven days in this country, it don't take much imagination"
 Whenever army pay is mention ed, you are certain to hear about the Asheboro, N. C., cafe owner who, in addition to dishing out steaks and l French fries was his own cashier He already was in a father when
 one of the soldiers handed him 60. } cent check and a S1,000 bill, with the casual comment, Sorry, that's

NOW IS TIME TO "soUAWK'

On page six of last weeks Sen unel a Questionnaire was printed, by request Of the Alaska Game Con- mission, asking your views about killing deer-what you think of the present season, from August 20 to November l5; what you think Of tue present bag limit, or Il you fa- yor a change. The Commission also would like to know something Of your experience in hunting and ob- serving deer in the Territory.
 Since the questionnaire appeared many people have expressed a desire to answer The Sentinel urges you to do so. That was the purpose in printing it.
 In January the Alaska Game Com mission will meet in Washington, D. c. There will, undoubtedly, be changes made in the Alaska game laws and it was for this reason, to find out what the people want, that these questions on deer hunting were asked.
 The game of Alaska belongs to the peOple-net to the Alaska Game Commission, as any Wildlife agent or member of the Commission would be first to tell you. They are simply law enforcement body hired to protect your property, just as the city of Seattle belongs to its resi- dents but a police force is hired to maintain law and order and protect its property owners. We can be proud of our game enforcement az ency. It has been called the best en- eountered anywhere by big game hunters who have hunted in Cana da, Mexico and far off places. They have attained that enYiable position by your past cooperation and help
 It is assumed that every Alaskan and every hunter wants to maintain his hunting privileges for a good many years to come.
 Reports show that last year B. 200 deer were killed in southeast Alaska. The prediction is the totaI take this year will exceed 5000 Last week the Pioneers of Fair banks went on record in favor ot granting hunting licenses to meI serving in the armed forces anl there are hundreds of others, work ing on defense construction, not il the armed forces, who are and vii be entitled to hunt next year-anC the next. All this should be born il mind when answering the Commis sion's questionnaire.
 If you think the season should b, changed; if you think the bag limi should include does as well as bucks or does instead of bucks or remain a at present sit down and answer tn questionnaire or write a letter t. the Game Commission at Juneau Remember, they're your deer.
 Then, when another hunting sea son rolls around, remember they'r your laws. Keep them.

the rubber and tin markets fall f after the war, call for intensive efforts and fresh grants of enor- nous sums.
 Too Few Europeans
 There are only 100000 Europeans In the Netherlands 1ndaes, and 00.OOO 900 natives. This popula- ton problem piles twice as much on Dutch shoulders. Admittedly the Dutch are urderstaffed In nearly every military and govern- mental bureau.
 Offlcers for the army and navy are plantiful, but paper work suf- fers. Tropic habits, and the intense heat, make labor dotlbly hard.
 Women have their share of war effort. Feminine organizations, such as GOWN, auxiliary service and ARP arms, take much of Dutch matrons' time. Truck driving, first aid, and care of children in case Of evacuation of cities are oil parts of female duties.
 The ARP is working desperately to prepare the Indies for air inva- sion, should war come. Air raid shelters are being built everywhere; and accommodations beneath sod and cement have been provided for moro than 10000 persons in Ba. tavla alone.
 Food Rationlng Studied
 Each day sees new defense irleas- ureS brought into effect. Blood transfuSion bases and supplies, possible rationing questions, and ell tho various items allied to a front line defense are being organized.
 Children, too, have their part. Daily parades of youths march down Batavia's streets in grotesque gas masks. They are sections of the ARP reserve.

 Don c. Foster, superintendent of the Carson Indian agency, declared that the ladder will save the huge trout from extinction.
 After negotiating the steps, or ponds, in the ladder, the fish, for the first time in 30 years, will have fro access to that happy land where they have been unable even to thumb Q ride for so long.

 But with the new ladder system. it was beleivd that tn trout would be saved from man, beast and lack of family life, which threatend most.
 The ladder is expected to be cori- plete by next spring. The money was provided in an Interior Depart. ment appropriation measure passed recently.
