JUNEAU WILL BE 'B0MBED'
 ON TUESDAY
Realistic Alert Drill Sehed- uIed for Tomorrow
 Evening

Theoretically, Juneau will be bombed, tomorrow evening, victims will be stretched out in the dam aged area, and First Aid volunteers, who will be called to the scene by air raid wardens, will rush the in- iured to First Aid Stations for patching up. It will be just an- ether alert air raid drill, but to further acquaint members of the Civilian Defense Unit with their duties, the Civilian Defense Board has decided to give the volunteers problems to work on during the drills.
 The alert will be sounded some time after dinner All members of the Civilian Defense Unit are to re- port to their posts at once. Traffic will be halted, pedestrians must seek shelter indoors.
 Shortly after the alarm has sounded, some section of Juneau will be bombed" It is possible that a plane will fly over the city to make the scheme realistic.
 On directions from the Civilian Defense Boards headquarters. air raid wardens in the bombed dis trict will direct First Aid workers to the victims. Boy Scouts have volunteered to act as injured. All members of the First Aid Unit are to report to their stations when the alarm sounds They are to stay at their stations unless they are called to pick up victims.

EMPIRE RATES GO UP JULY 1

Announcement is made elsewhere in The Empire today of it's raise in circulation rates of 25 cents a month, effective July 1.
 For the last several months, nearly every mail has brought a cancellation of a national advertis- ing contract. flor the duration of the war
 This situation exists throughout the country and newspapers from Portland, Oregon, to New London, Conn, and back to California have raised rates from 10 per cent to 331I per cent in order to continue publication under present trying conditions.
 Following, as reported in Editor and Publisher, April 25, 1922, is the consensus of delegates to the Small Dailies Sessions of the American Newspaper Publishers Association which met in New York City April i21: s.
 "There are difficult days ahead for the U. s. Daily newspaper busi- ness, especially for the smaller papers, and each publishers in- genuity as well as that of every member Of his staff, will have to be called into play to keep down the mortality rate of newspapers during the trying days to come.
 Circulation rates must be in- creased to take up the slack in ad revenue. economies must be affected throughout the plant, the size of papers must be kept down, uni versal tightening of the belt will have to be made to weather the storm"
 At a time when national adyer- tisers are cutting advertising be- cause they have diverted their fac tories to production of war mater ials, because they can't can goods because of lack of tin, because for the duration they have no product to offer the public, Paul West, pres ident of the Association of National Advertisers, in a report to the con- vention in New York said;
 T think congratulations are in order to those publishers who have courageously faced the matter of subscription and single copy rates and raised their rates so that ad- vertisers will not have to bear the full burden of the increased cost of publication,
 This raise in rates will be effect i've for the duration of the war only. When hostilities have ended, old rates which have been the same since The Empire first published will be established
 When the Empire was reduced to six pages several months ago, it was decided that there should be no features. We are trying to give you as good a paper, paper that car ries as much news in six pages, as we gave the subscriber in eight pages. This we can do, because of the columns of space that have been released to news by the can cellation of national advertising. Empire subscribers are given an opportunity to subscribe for the paper in advance, for six months or one year at the present rate.

DR.. Holmes Sees
Imperative Need
For Program
(Tenth OF a Series.)
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr.

The man who was largely re-
sponsible for the installation of the
five -period-a- a-week physical educa-
ton program at Calvin Coolidge
Senior High School when 1t was
opened in September, 1910, sees an
imperative need" to extend the now
successful plan to every senior high
school in the city.
DR.. Chester w. Holmes, assistant
superintendent of schools in charge
Of senior high schools, also insisted
on the Importance of expanding the
Health Departments school medical
inspection and dental program,
which. he said, brings defects to
The surface"
IF anybody can tell me why
health should not get the same en-
phasis in the schools that any other
course gets" he demanded, Il wish
he would do so. Health is just about
our most precious heritage"
Process of "Attrition."
Although the Board of Education
authorized five-period-a-week
health and physical education pro-
gram in 1886, it was not until 1910
that the Coolidge program was set
up. In its first year more than 70
per cent of defects discovered by
pupil examination were corrected.
Most of the high school principals
are interested in expanding the
health program. he said, but have
been compelled through lack of per-
sonnel to do 1t slowly through a
process of "attrition." Whenever a
teacher of an academic subject died
or retired, and that salary could be
saved by splitting up the teachers
academic classes among others OF
the same subject, he explained. the
money in many instances was used
to get health and physical educa-
ton instruction. In this way, he
added, Principal Norman Nelson Of
Woodrow Wilson High School was
able to put part of his students on
five periods week. Some pupils
at Roosevelt High are also taking
the same number.

But If we wait for attrition to
get five periods week in every
high school," he said, "it would take

Mexico Opens Relations
With Exi|ed Czech Group

Acting on principle advocated at
the Rio de Janeiro conference of
American foreign ministers, Mexico
today opened diplomatic relations
with the Czechoslovak government
in-exile in London. The step was
announced by the Czech Legation
here.
The action was regarded here as
important because it may pave the
way for similar recognition from re-
naming Latin American republics
at time when the Czech and other
central European exile governments
seek the backing of as many nations
as possible for support in their re-
construction after the war is over.
Diplo tic relations between
Mexico and Czechoslovakia were
suspended March Is, 1889, the date
of the German occupation of the
country.
