fiction when Fennimore Cooper's braves had the
practical idea about camouflage. In the first World

A COMMENDABLE MOVE

The juneau Chamber of Commerce at its last
ments for securing the cooperation of Juneau resi-
dents in collecting scrap material-rubber, metal and
anything else-which will help the United States in
its great war effort. We sincerely hope that the
committees job won't be hard We don't think
it will be
Rubber, waste paper and scrap metals are the
materials needed At least 500 pounds of scrap
rubber are needed for every medium tank produced.
A battleshp may contain as much as 5000 tons of
scrap metal AS much as 10000 tons of waste paper
will be needed this year to make ammunition
tanners, alone. Three miles of copper wire go into
every big bomber built.
Facts like these make it clear why Ameri-
cans must begin to save materials we have
before. Salvage operations going to play i'm
portant part in winning this Our indus
tries expanding at such terrific rate that they
going to need vast quantities of scrap to keep
them going full blast, making weapons.
It's up to Juneau residents to do their part in
seeing that these industries kept going at top
speed. Every of us has scrap of sort
that we can contribute If you've been saving things
just in they might come in handy they might
come in handy right now-for Uncle Sam And if
you haven't been saving, nows the time to start
The Juneau Chamber of Commerce is to be
commended in taking the lead in organizing sal

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compe"
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY q


Benefic aspects seem to dominate
today which is fortunate to all who
are executives. President Roosevelt
and the heads of our armed forces
are under good planetary influences
but there is a sign of evil omen and
bad news may be broadcast.
HEART AND HOME: Women
are well directed under this config-
uration which brings them intui-
ton. Errors of Judgment may be
common today when the emotions
may rule the reason. Girls prob
ably will be inspired by new ro-
mances but they are warned against
hasty marriage. Employment on
government contracts will absorb
many women who will prove ef-
ficient in difficult tasks. The seers,
who stress the fact that each SOL
der must have back of him four
teen orr fifteen workers, emphasize
the need of great haste in meeting
war demands. SOS
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Many
changes in trade and commerce will
mark the springtime when the pat
tern of war will be necessary in all
I lines of manufacturing and mer-
chandising. Inevitable difficulties are
forecast for men of small capital
who will meet serious obstacles that
menace average concerns. The
spring should be fairly prosperous
for many persons. Women who
replace the men called to defend
the nation will earn good wages
and thus will safeguard their fam
lilies.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Unity Of
plan as well as purpose will arouse
the utmost loyalty to the Allies.
The great war machine fighting for
the democracies may be slow in
gaining full efficiency and for that
reason patience should be exercised
and criticism avoided. 1t must be
remembered that within the Unit
ed States are secret foes who are
disseminating propaganda, subtle
and fiendishly clever There is a
sign which causes the seers to
counsel extreme alertness, for sab
otage, espionage and treachery will
be more widespread than ever be-
| fore.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: In
addition to Hitler, evil portents ov-
ershadow Ribbentrop, Mussolini and
Goering All are under planetary
influences which promise their
eventual elimination. At this time
they may indulge in dissension but
the stars presage temporary gains
by the Axis Terrific storms will
affect naval and submarine ex-
ploits. Political and military up
heavals will disturb Germany and
Italy. Nature will seem to mirror
human violence. Floods, earth
quakes and storms will add to the
suffering in Europe.
Persons whose birthdate it is
nave the augury of year of sud-
den changes. 1t is well to be ex-
ceedingly careful in conserving
money for unexpected emergencies.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be keen in mind and SER
ious in Their outlook on life. In
tuitive and sensitive they may be
interested in extraordinary lines of
study or research.

Premier Quisling
New York Times


Treachery received its highest reward OF the
war recently when Hitler elevated Major Vdkun
Quisling to be Norway's Chief of State. This man,
whose betrayal of his own people made his name
hateful symbol in every free land will attempt
the impossible task of persuading Norway to cola
borate' with Germany.
Quisling will have his likeness on a special issue
of Norwegian stamps But his features already
fixed in the mind of every Morse patriot. He walks
in danger of his life and lives only within ring
of German bayonets. Within that ring he is as
much a prisoner any of his dsarmed compatriots.
The sinister figure of Josef Terboven, Hiter's Gau-
letter, stands at his elbow to that he does not
falter in his treason.
Even the Germans cannot be too sanguine of
their plot to impose Quslng the rebellous Morse.
The ceremonies by which he was made Premier
were preceded by ten more executions Every Ger
man move to crush Norway has brought only fercer
resistance from the population, and the effect of
this latest move will not be different In no con-
quered country is the will to freedom stronger than
in Norway

something may be wrong with the
quality and fighting ability OF the
u S. Navy.
The tragedy is that almost every
one except the American people
knows the truth about Pearl Har-
Dor. An American Ambassador who
Just flew back from southern Europe
reports that the French the Ital-
ians. even the Arabs know the de-
tailed extent of our losses.
JAPS TOOK PICTURES
In Rio de Janeiro, during the
recent American Conference,
the japanese Embassy made it a
point to inform every Latin Ameri-
can government what the Pearl
Harbor losses were. The Japan
csc had even taken pictures of the
ships beached or with masts stick
ing from the water. This certainly
was no military secret to our enc
mics.
Finally, about 10000 Americans
are now returning TO the United
States from Honolulu and most OF
them have had occasion to drive
along the road past Pearl Harbor
and view the losses first hand. They
are sure TO tell their friends and
relatives. And no secret held by
10000 people long remains Sc
cret. f

near the start of the war At one
time in September. 1899, about one
month after the war started, the
Ministry of Information Censor
ship Office seized all morning edi-
tons of the London papers because
they reported that British troops
were then fighting side by side with
the French. Radio France, the of.
ficial French radio, had announced
it. But even so, it was censored
news in Great Britain.
So Lord Macmillan, Minister of
Information, very charming and
noble lord who wore a cutaway coat
and striped trousers, received pro
testing delegation of newspapermen.
And to pacify them, he began the
conference by telling about the in
teiesting recipe of his cook for
making truffle dish.
Finally, Trilbey Ever, of the
London Daily Herald, could stand
it no longer.

ing his finger at the noble lord
