War Blamed For Bigger
Feet Among British Women

LONDON-lNS-The war is pro-
ducing bigger feet-at least among
British women.
Store KEEPERS find that demands
for women's shoes below the size
Of four are practically non existent
This is attributed TO the vogue
OF the low heeled shoes which
tend to broaden the feet and be-
cause women are st'nding lon
and walking more than they did
before the war.
Members Of the ATE. WAAF,
W.R.N.S.. nursing and Civil-De-
Tense units who formerly wore
high heeled shoes for every &C
casion now find that they need a
larger size than they did in peace
time.

Ben Kraft. owner Of Kraft dock, was notified this week that the purchase by the army of the dock "was approved". Negotia- tions began last November for the transfer and the army at the time was given an option to buy or lease. It was believed the deal had fallen through until receipt of the wire of approval.
 No papers have been signed yet and when they are 30 days grace must be given to vacate the property. The deal involves, only the strip of land and docks and building included in the original Kadiak Fisheries patent. Kraft acquired the property July l, 1889 and the dock was repaired that fall. A new addi- ton to the wharf was built this spring.
 Terminus for the Alaska Steam ship company, the bulk of towns freight has come over the Kraft dock. Although the army engine CTS have gwen no indication it is presumed the dock will be usedby them exclusively. Kodiak's only other dock, owned by W. J. Erskine & Go. cannot handle vessels of the Mckinley class. Glen Hyner, Alaska Steamship agent, said he had not heard from his company as to plans for the future

Shortage of Oil
 Threatens City

With an oil shortage threaten. ing the city everyone is being urged to conserve in every way possible on oil. Present supplies of oil are being obtained from the base, and are limited. Gaso- line is being rationed in the a. mount of 8 gallons per sale a day.
 Up to yesterday the Standard Oil company had received no in- fonmation on when a tanker may be expected. One tanker would provide 8 to 4 months supply of fuel oil.
 Oil may be conserved by care full regulation of stoves to pro- vide the minimum amount of heat necessary, and by abandon ing the common practice of leav- ing stoves burn throughout the night and during the day when home is unoccupied.
 Merrill Coon, Standard Oil a. gent, also urges that all contain CTS, including 5-gallon cans, be aved for reuse.

Bond Campaign
 Gets Extension

Because of diff culty in obtain ing bonds the buy-a-bombcr campaign has been extended an other week to March IA, and ac- cording to advises from Juneau there remains $125,000 to raise toward the bomber's purchase price. Alaska should be able to reach the goal as she purchased over $35O,OO0 worth of bonds in January, before the campaign be- gan. During January Kodiak sold S7O0O, but in just the last week sales of approximately $15,00O were recorded bringing the total to date up to more than $60,00O as Kodiak's share toward the bomber.
 The post office still has bonds, and the bank IS still selling them on receipt pending arrival of

Like the Russian who saw his first elephant we don't believe it!" About Joe B. Brown being at the base, we mean.

That last came via KODK, but maybe it was some enemy station on the same wave length, dishing out propaganda to scare us.

 The only reason we can see for believing the whole thing is the fact that sending movie stars a. round to camps and posts is be- ing done this season outside. But we thought it was Betty Grable and Dorothy Lamour and similar etc.'s who made those trips. Now you take Betty Grabie (who wouldn't?)-

met three soldiers who said, we quote, that they saw him. We don't know who the soldiers were, so we can't vouch for that statement, either.
 The whole thing sounds fshy. If Joe were here, wouldn't there be a press agent lowering about? If Joe is at the base, wouldn' t we have heard that mating-moose dying calf Tarzan yell of his? It's only six miles away and the winds been right all day. And if he wears suits as loud as those he sports when playing his com edy roles for which he is famous we'd have heard that, too. And if Joe were here, wouldn't some one we know have seen him? Maybe the reason nobody has is that the wonders of Kodiak's en- virons astounded him so he's
