IA CHEST COLD OR COUGHING COLD
DEVELOPS (some colds get by all pre-
cautions) use Pieks VdboRub to re-
heve rniseries. Rub VapoRub on
throat, chest and back and cover
with warmed cloth VapoRub acts
to bring relief 2 ways at once. IL
stimulates surface of chest and back
like poultice. At the same time IL
releases helpful medicinal vapors
that are bresthed direct into the irri-
tsted air passages.
Both Va-uo-nol and VapoRub
have been tested through years Of
use in millions of homes. When YOU
use these two medicines you are not
experimenting, you are not taking
needless chances. Remember: II the
condition OF the cold fails 10 respond

the meeting last week of the Ameri- can Peace Mobilization. The Juneau Chamber of Commerce is not spon- soring this movement in any man ner whatever. The Chamber has not given, nor has it been asked for, any support to the American Peace Mo- bilization.
 Last week the Chamber received an unsigned communication from the American Peace Mobilization giving notice of the contemplated meeting. Your President and Sec retary attended in the belief that it is the duty of good citizens to know what is going on in their commun- ity. Their presence at the meeting should not be construed to mean that they are in sympathy with the efforts of this particular peace group.
 When I was called upon at the meeting I made the statement that while I appreciated being called up- on, had come to listen and to learn, not to talk, and that was the only statement I made.
 "Since I still feel it my duty as an American citizen to know what is going on in Juneau, it may be that if similar organizations are started here, l VII be present at oth- CT such meetings as the one last week.
 If there is any doubt in anyone's mind about the attitude of your officers, it may be put at rest. l know I speak for them all when I say that while we all would welcome an end to the war. we feel that peace itself is less important than the preservation of liberty and democ- racy"
 Guests introduced were Harry Maxwell of Fullerton, Cal, Virgil Heath of the U. s. Forest Service at Sitka, E. R. Crouch of the Fish and Wildlife Service in Washing ton, D. C., and D. M. Mcdonald Of Petersburg.

 Guest speaker Dean Ernest Patty, mining engineer from the Interior, and former head of the College oi Mines at the University of Alaska, said the jaws of the vice are slow ly closing on the management of gold mines Tn the Territory with higher taxes, higher wages and oth- CT difficulties" but said the indus try wanted to keep operating in spite of the difficulties, especially for the reason of national defense.
 Dean Patty pointed out the use of the Territory's mines in case of an emergency on the Pacific Coast that might stop ships from coming to the Territory. There are approxi- mately 1,20O high powered tractors in Alaska, he said, which might easily be concentrated in several spots for hauling supplies on the Interior route from Seattle.
 Tractor ConvOys
 Thus, Patty said, in case the Pa cific fleet was withdrawn from the Coastal waters and an emergency stepped coastal shipping to the Ter ritory a fleet of at least 400 trac- tors could haul supplies from the States to Alaska through British Columbia. SIeds would be used in winter and wagons during the sum- mer months.
 The mining man also pointed out that with the shortage of high grade steel needed in the Territory by mines and by defense industries Outside, much of the scrapped high grade steel in the Territory could De utilized after remilling if hauled cut of the Territory. He said that the back haul on the Alaska Rail- read from Fairbanks to Seward was practically empty as is the steam ship haul The empty cargo space could be used for taking the much needed steel to mills, he proposed

 LEXINGTON. Ky, May 22-The moonshiner, who got the name from working at night, ha s switched to daytime operations And this change, Federal alcohol tax agents report, is only one of a number in the illicit whisky trade.
 Once notorious for exercising his shooting eye when a "revenooer came around, the moonshiner also has abandoned gmplay. Experience has taught him, the agents explain, that the revenue men carry long range rifles and know how to use them. They even have a new weap- on designed to spray slugs through bodies.
