Sl,26l.OOO In Alaska Treasury
WILLIAM A. HESSE, TERRITORIAL HIGHWAY
 ENGINEER, ARRIVES IN NOME

Taking all things into consideration Territorial treasury is in pretty healthy condition, William A. Hesse, highway engineer for Alaska said when he rived in Nome yesterday. The cash balance of May was $l26l 900 as compared with about $1204,00 for the same date last year
 But this" MT. Hesse said "does not mean that we should forthwith go spending spree The skies ahead are somewhat murky and a cautious spending policy is probably more necessary at this time than it ever has been
 There is no doubt at all but that the revenues in l942 will decline reflected in the curtailment in the fishing and mining industries but there is bright spot Tn the revenues if such thing could be called bright and that is the enormous increase in the rev. enue from the sale of liquor which is not to credit m such serious times these
 Revenue from hard liquor alone in the first four months of this year more than was received from all alcoholic beveages in all of last year.
 Tt seems too bad that should have no greater dis tlnctlon than that of consuming liquor than any other country under the American flag
 Aside from the necessary maintenance of existing roads which will amount to about $135000 for the son, little new construction is contemplated by the Territory and what construction is undertaken will probably be confined to aviation fields
 Road Work May Be Less
 There is very strong probability that as the war continues, Territorial road work which is manifestly non-war effort will automatically terminate"

Flyer Makes Wrong Turn
And Downs Nazi Plane

LONDON. - There Is a Free
Frenchman flying for Britain who
made his first kill because he turned
to the right when his flight COM
mander said left.
With Canadians, New Zealanders
and British as his brother pilots,
the Frenchman was flying with a
Spitfire squadron on patrol. For a
time the Spitfres had the sky to
themselves. Then the commander
ordered change of course.
For a moment the Free French
man misunderstood. He went off
to the right while the remainder Of
the squadron went left. At Spitfire
speed the Frenchman was a mile
or two from his squadron when he
realized his mistake.
But as he pushed open his throttle
an enemy aircraft appeared ahead.
The opportunity was too good to
miss. The Frenchman flew close to
the enemy machine; gave it several
bursts from his eight machine guns
and had the satisfaction Of seeing
the aircraft burst into flames and
60 down.

Stories Concerning the
Octopus Are EXAGGERATED

The octopus is not the diabolical
creature commonly believed, says
DR.. Martin w. johnson Of Scripps
Institution Of Oceanography, who in
a recent lecture instructed his hear
ers in the art Of capturing crea-
lures Of this kind. DR.. johnson has
caught many octopuses, some OF
them ten feet in diameter, and he
declares that sensational stories and
pictures are giving an exaggerated
impression Of the eight-armed ceph-
alopod.
The octopus is difficult to catch in
deep water, where it can move with
great rapidly. In shallow water
near shore, however, one merely
stalks the creature from the ocean
side and heaves it ashore. Being
too slippery to hold on to, there is
no use grabbing an arm and trying
to pull It up on land. The other
arms, equipped with suckers, resist.
It's a matter of heaving and work
ing fast, DR.. johnson explains.

Save Half Of
Pay Increases
Rapid Expansion in Thrift
Rate May Cut Initiation,
Survey Declares.

WASHINGTON.- Roughly so per
cent of the expansion in consumer
income during recent months has
been saved" department of COM
merce report says.
A review of consumer expendi-
lures and savings for the last two
years and prepared by r. B. Bangs
of the departments staff says:
''It is generally recognized that
the infationary gap in 1912 will
be large, but the behavior of the
expenditure-income relation and the
rapid growth in the rate of saving
by individuals during recent months
is an encouraging sign suggesting
that the gap may well prove to be
somewhat smaller than has been
forecast by some estimaters."
Contributing Factors.
Factors mentioned as contribut-
ing to the larger volume Of savings
include the widening of scarcities i'm
consumers durable goods lines, an
ticipation of higher tax rates and
increased purchases of war bonds
and stamps. There also Is evil
dence, according to the report, that
the volume of spending has been
held in check by consumer resist
ance to rising prices. The final rea-
son advanced is the uncertainty Of
many individuals over the security
of their income, due to the possible
spread of priority unemployment"
expansion of the armed forces and
anxiety regarding the postwar job
situation.
Despite the large increase in saw
ings last year consumer expendi-
lures rose by $4,000, 100000. More
than 80 per cent of the increase in
spending between January, 1871,
and last January was accounted for
by the rise in prices.
Expenditures Decline.
A decline in aggregate consumer
expenditures in the last quarter Of
1941 is noted, in the department sur
vey. The contraction followed Al
buying wave prompted by the pros
pect of shortages, higher prices and
additional federal income taxes.
Some anticipatory buying also was
apparent in the first two months Of
this year.
"Disposable income" with con-
sumers rose from $4,000, 900, 900 in
January, 1941, to 500, 400, 0OO, 900 this
January and $97, SOC, OOO,O 900 in Feb
ruary. Savings rose from $40, AGO.
100000 in January, 1941, to $4,000, 4
100000 by January of this year; and
$18, 400, 100000 in February. Con-
sumption expenditure, on the other
hand, rose from $4,000, 100000 in
February, 1941, to only $79, 100, 00O,-
600 by February, this year, and, in
that month, $4,000, 100000 Of the ex-
pansion was accounted for by in
creases in the cost of living.

Many Uses Pointed Out
For New Pyrheliometer

The principal use for a new type
Of pyrheliometer for measuring the
heat intensity Of solar rays that
reach the earth is for atmospheric
study, yet other potential applica-
tions present themselves. A florist
might logically install a pyrheliom-
eter in his greenhouse to determine
the intensity of the SUMS rays that
penetrate the glass roof at various
times. Agricultural experiment sta
tons also might find a use for the
device in their studies of crops and
soils. The intensity of the infra-red
ray used for drying paints and for
similar operations also might be
measured. In fact, the instrument
could be applied to the intensity
measurement of radiated heat of
long wave length irrespective Of the
visibility of that wave.
The pyrheliometer, type Of Their
mocouple, looks somewhat like an
electric light bulb, says Scientific
American. The "fllament" COM
prises two flat, rectangular pieces Of
nickel-chromium alloy and a
copper-nickel alloy, each only so
millionths Of an inch thick, 3-16 of
an inch long and 5-64 of an inch
wide, joined end to end. This thin
single piece of metal is then welded
at the outer ends to vertical lead
posts that lead to a stem which is
wired for hook-up to a millivolt-
meter. The end of the stem to which
the posts are attached then is sealed
into an evacuated glass bulb which
is sphere about two inches in
diameter.

Locomotive Plant Beats
Tank Schedule Three-Fold

PHILADELPHIA, PA.-American
tanks with armor plate thicker than
any Axis tanks and with deadlier
armament are rolling off production
lines at the Baldwin Locomotive
works near here at 312 times the
rate set by war department officials
a year ago.
Before the year is out the flow Of
tanks is expected to be increased
another three times over the origi-
nal production schedules, army Off
Gals estimated today.
The Baldwin plant, which manu-
features huge quantities Of DIVERSE
fed war material, has increased its
manpower 10 times in the last two
years for special war production. At
the same time it has doubled its
output of locomotives for both gov
eminent and private agencies.

New. Recapped Tires

Farmers can qualify for new or
recapped tires, providing they use
their trucks or cars to haul produce
to and from the market.
The farmer who uses his truck
exclusively to transport farm prod
ucts and food to market, and to
carry needed home supplies to the
farm, is eligible for new tires and
tubes, an agricultural leader ex-
planned. This includes the trans
portation Of fuel for farm machin-
cry, fertilizers, and feeds to the
farm. On the other hand, no new
tires will be sold to farmers for
trucks that are used to carry prod
ucts to housewives or other ulti-
mate consumers.
The term truck" includes pick
ups. Farmers are also eligible to
get new tires for their tractors and
other farm implements, providing
they are not changing from steel
wheels to rubber tires.

FIFTH POLICY ADDED
TO BELL SYSTEM

The well known fundamental
policies of the Bell System have been:
1. To give the best possible
service at the least cost consist
emit with the financial integrity OF
the business.
2. To carry on research and de-
velopment.
8. To protect the investment Of
the owners Of the business for
them and for the future use Of
the public.
4. To pay adequate salaries and
wages, and to provide the most
opportunity possible.
To these detectives, Arthur w.
Page, vice president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
recently added another, which is Of the
greatest Importance. Said Mr.. Page,
"At present there is a fifth part Of
the policy that overrides them all
8. To run the Bell System SO
that it does it's maximum service
in winning the war;"
Speaking of the new fifth policy,
Mr.. Page observed: 1--WE are par
ticularly fortunate in the fact that
our business is vital in this national
emergency. That does not make so
much difference to those who are
young enough or smart enough to go
into the war directly, but for the rest
Of us it's vast comfort to be in an
enterprise essential to the nation in
these times"

Anchors Aweigh, Music

The music for Anchors Aweigh"
was composed in 1907 by the late
Lieut.. Charles A. Zimmerman, then
bandmaster and choir director of
the United States Naval academy.
Carrying out his custom of compos-
ing a march each year for the
graduating class, he composed the
music to Anchors Aweigh" as the
1907 class march. Commander A.
H. Miles, U. S. Navy, Retired, then
q midshipman, wrote the words with
the exception Of the last stanza
which was written by Midshipman
r. Lowell, class Of 1925.
The official Alma Mater song OF
the Naval academy is "Navy Blue

well known as anchors Aweigh."

Bird Cage Curios

Ancient bird cages are more than
ornamental curios or collectors
items. Oddly enough, through these
miniature art works by master
craftsmen can be traced the archi-
tectural history Of many lands and
civilizations.
For in these homes for domestic
birds were reproduced dwellings of
the period, says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. They are also sig
nificant because they show the In
stinct of men-whether king or
