STIMSON'S EGG RUN"

The U. s. Air Corps has started a lot Of new special services as a result of the war in Europe-reg- ular trips across the Atlantic, com- muting run between New York and Washington, and various others not known to the general public.
 But the most mysterious of all these is the egg run
 Nobody outside the Air Corps knows what this is, but here is the inside of the mystery Almost every weekend, Secretary of War Stimson goes by plane from Wash ington to spend Saturday and Sun day at his Long Island place, High old" where he has a farm.
 And after the weekend is over, the Secretary of War comes out to the airport to board his plane look ing very dignified and clutching a little paper bag full of fresh eggs
 And great is the trepidation of the pilot for fear of jolt of the plane should spoil the weeks breakfasts which MT. Stimson is carrying back to Washington

in any one day was cut from SG to tHe present1O The use Of live decoys was prohisted and trea bait ing of duck ponds lakes and fields was forbidden It was not alone the hunters who were to blame for the smaller flights of ducks each fall game experts determined. Flights of the birds which normally migrated south through the mid western states and other sections which had be- come highly agriculturalized were finding 1t in- creasingy difficult to locate feeding grounds as lakes and ponds were drained to reclaim land.
 It was due to these discoveries, resulting from scientific studies of the flights of the waterfowl, that federal wildfe refuges established along routes followed by the migrating birds There the birds may find feed, place to breed and hatch out their ducklings and complete security from the guns of hunters.
 Well, all these regulations and federal provisions to take of the migratory fowl are seemingly paying good dividends. Official waterfowl observers report that the duck and goose population of North America has been on the increase the past five six years
 Nice as it might be to shoot ducks with no bag
 limit restriction it is a lot nicer to know that there will be ducks left to shoot next year and the fol- lowing year and number of years from now when the second and third generations of current hunt ing families go out with their shotguns and dogs for few days of the fall sport

The "New Order" in Action
Cincinnati Enquirer)

It is more than a year since Hitler completed the conquest of Western Europe and many months since he added the Balkans to his continental bloc But his vaunted new order has yet to emerge Plans for the formal inauguration of united Europe have been postponed time and time again. Mean while, Nazi technicians attempting to organize
 the production of the entire Continent for the ends of the German conquest.
 How that economic organization is working out one cannot tell But it is plain and plainer every day that the unfication of Europe is not progress ing on the political side. Nazi rule is the rule of the bayonet and the defeated populations of Europe have realized it. Resistance grows in every con- quered land.
 Many months ago Hitler had a chance to win over some of his victim peoples to the new order They were disillusioned with their governments, ready for anything new. But all the Nazis had to offer was a policy of repression and plunter. To- day Htlers chance to create new order" is wholly lost Repression only breeds new fear, new hatred and resistance
 The Naz firing squads have been especially busy in the last week. Scores of innocent men in vari- ous conquered countries have been shot-not for any offenses they committed, but simply as host ages German rule of subject peoples is revealed as nothing more enlightened than the official terror ism of the Gestapo. This is not new order' It is restoration of those very brutates which man. kind has struggled for centuries to exercise.

corner and a number on the front door. They want place to rest and an address for the letters from home.
 1 In normal times, the Government 1 brings to Washington as many as 2,000 new workers year. Today the | figure is 2,000 month. Civil Ser vice Commission estimates that in the next 16 months, 35,000 more de- fense workers will come to Wash ington.
 And most of them are women. 1 Where will they sleep? A big man from Texas thinks he has the an- Swer Jesse Jones, who has as many government agencies under his wing I as there are hotels in Washington, has told one of these agencies to build a woman's dormitory for de- fenSe workers.
 So Defense Homes Corporation, a subsidiary of REC, has drawn up plans and bought a site for the new home for women. It will be located on the north side of town, near Embassy Row" on Sixteenth Street. 1 With total of 750 rooms, some single and some double, the dor mitory will house no less than 1000 women. Under government control, rents will be moderate. Already one New York agent made a bid to take over operation of the hostel, but when not allowed to control rents, he backed out.
 Rules will be liberal in respect to using electric irons and electric ! coasters, but not in respect to en- tertaining young men. Jesse Jones will be protective godfather to all 1000. 4s yg

the British, for tanks are what the British need more than anything else to take the offensive on the European continent.
 But this very favorable picture has one bad drawback. It is the problem of getting the tanks to England or Egypt. The first prob lem is ships, but even after this is solved, there is the equally difficult problem of unloading. Tanks are so heavy that the ships crane cannot unload them; it takes 8 heavy crane on the dock.
 Many cranes in English ports have been bombed, and in Suez there is only one. Thus, although the Turks have been pleading with the British for tanks, and declined last spring to enter into an agree ment with the British because the U. s. ships carrying tanks may not be able to unload them for weeks at SueZ.
 The IrSJ U. 5. ships sent to Suez took more than four weeks to unload. and the Army fears that in unloading tanks now, whole line of ships may have to wait for days-easy targets for Nazi bombers from Crete.
 That is why the Army is especi- ally interested in the new flat bottomed boats which the Navy finally was persuaded to build much against it's will. Tanks can be loaded onto these semi-scows under their own power, instead of being lowered into the hold by a crane. Then, arriving at the other side, the, tanks can back off the scow under their own power.
 NOTE-The. Army also is much interested in these flat-bottomed boats for purposes of landing in- vading troops in hurry Artillery and tanks can be run off the boats of this kind the minute they touch shore.

Tomorrow at sunrise, which is officially amp the shotguns scheduled to boom on the Hates along the Glacier Highway, and on hundreds Of marshes and favorite duck hunting grounds around Juneau.
 nice bunch of ducks are feeding around this section according to observers of the Alaska Game Commission and hunting should be good dur ing the 6o-day season which extends through the 29th of November
 About this time of year oldtimers are often heard telling tall stories of the days when there was no restriction on the daily bag limit for the waterfowl They goat the days when they used to bring gunnysacks full of game home from a half-day's hunting.
 But with more than a million duck hunters in the United States and Alaska, the largest army of gunners felded annually by any country in the world it is little surprise that federal and state game protection agencies have been forced to i'm pose limits on the number of birds to be shot in a single day.
 To quote Dr. Ira Gabrelson director of the Fish and Wldlife Service who was in Juneau re- gently to conduct fisheries hearings
 "The good old days of unlimited killing are gone forever as no land on earth build up and main- tain supply of birds that could stand increas- ing annual drain by constantly growing army of sportsmen"
 On the other hand, pr Gabrielson tells the fanatic on wildlife conservation who would demand even greater shooting restrictions, that
 Ducks and geese justifiably regarded as game birds that the American citizen has right to use and enjoy provided the annual harvest does not exceed the seasonal crop'
 And it is to keep this yearly duck and geese harvest by hunters from exceeding the birth rate of the birds that during the past of the government has put rigid restrictions on hunting Slowly at first and then rapidly in the late twenes and early thirties the population of waterfowl on the decline. The length of hunting season was shortened The number of birds that could be taken

cHcroscobe ''Ths stars inclins
 but do not corsps
Wednesday, october 1


 Good ana evll are mingled in the portents for today. The morning hours are favorable for business stimulating to trade and to pro- ductive enterprises. There is a threatening sway for labor.
 HEART AND HOME Women are under an adverse rule of the stars today. The stars seem to forbid initiative and to retard many lines of executive work This is not a time to borrow trouble, although there may be apprehension and depression. It is important for girls to perfect themselves in house. hold tasks, for the seers predict that machines for labor-saving will take the places of servants. It is wise for housekeepers to revise their budgets for the cost of living will continue to rise.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS. Labor troubles may interfere seriously with production, especially ship building, but the spirit of splendid cooperation will guide many groups of workers. This month is to be marked by events which will have wide effect upon American busi- ness, but changes of markets and general expansion of trade are fore cast. Chemists will supply subSti- tutes for many raw materials and the United States will demonstrate self-sufficiency in its resources and it's use of them. %Rt
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Aid to Rus sia and China are to arouse differ ing sentiments but by the end of this month the wisdom of utfi 5r- eign policy will be apparent even to opponents of the lion Talk of peace will be prevalent as a result of Nazi propaganda and predictions of a speedy ending, of the World War will be made. AS winter approaches, Hitler will have many reasons to seek a cessation Of
 
 hostilities, but the stars seem to warn that there should be no afm- istice before the defeat of the Axis Powers.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: The seers fortell, as usual, the ulti- mate victory of Britain, but warn that there should not be too much optimism At this time there will be great war weariness among the valient defenders of England, es- pecially among members of the R. A. F., but heavy re-enforcements will mark future weeks when Amer ican flyers will gain fame. The Dominions and Colonies will furn- ish great aid and the outlook is reassuring. The loss of a notable national figure in England, prob ably a military leader, is foretold.
 Persons whose birthplace it is have the augury of a year of prosperity and exceptional activity. Sorrow may visit certain homes, owing to the World War.
 1G Children born on this day prob ably will be prudent and pains taking in all they do. They will be fortunate through life. Military or legal careers are predicted for talented boys. sg

Four pupils of dancing instructor Dorothy Steans Rolf participated in the program given on the last night of the annual Southeast Alaska Fair, providing colorful dance rou- tines to the rest of the program.
 One number was a black and white jazz routine performed by Joyce and Barbara Smith. The other was a demonstration of baton twirl- ing and tap dancing given by Dale and Lane Rolf.
