the only place in the United States where the merchant is allowed his replacement costs. In all States of the Union, prices were frozen at the March level,g she continued.
 Alaska has even been excluded from the specified price schedules set up in other parts of the country.
 Because of these facts, it has been necessary to require more detailed report on cost-of living commodities than is required else where in the United States.
 Such discrimination as these has been in Alaska has been in flavor of and not against the Terri tory" she declared.

''Tn get your wrap"
When Spud returned, she was so
busy devising plans that she did not
notice the determined look in his
eyes. A moment later they stepped
into the fragrant mildness of the
night.
Judy had expected that she would
need to prompt this shy young man,
but he surprised her. Not in vain
had he listened to lectures on the
power of the will, which, his psy-
chology professor had solemnly as
sured the class, if properly manipu-
lated, could be used TO obtain the de-
sire of ones heart.
Spud prefaced his campaign by
remarking on the loveliness of her
hair in the pale moonlight. Before
she had recovered from this COM
ment, he secured permission to call
her by her first name; shortly after
that, he extracted a promise that
she would write to him; and finally,
he offered to take her home in his
car.
When they approached Spud's car,
however, she gave little exclama-
ton of surprise. "Spud, is that your
carr"
"Why, yes. Do you like it?"
Judy was staring alternately from
the car to its owner. Like it? Like
it? I wouldn't ride in it with you if
you were to ask me on your bended
kneesl" Without another word she
fed into the house.
Spud sat down on the running
board of his scorned machine and
sighed deeply. 81 know I'll never
be the same again."
Judy sat on her suitcase, with a
set expression on her face. 'Moth-
er, there's absolutely nothing the
matter. Of course we didn't have a
quarrel; and truly, I had a wonder

AS the train came steaming down
the track, Judy turned around for
a final glance at her town. Sudden
ly, her blue eyes grew big. She
grasped her mothers arm. Look"
she cried, "am I seeing things, or
are there two cars exactly alike
over there?"
Eyes, one belongs to Mr.. Allen,
and the other to Spud. Mr.. Allen
bought his since you've been away"
"And I've been thinking that Spud
was the reckless driver-what a
proud little idiot I've been. Tell
him" Then she saw Spud stand
ing before her, twisting his hat nerv-
ously.
"Judy," he began, care we friends

"Oh, it was all my fault. I'm
sorry / was so mean and"
Cali aboard" called the conduc-
tor.
"And will you come to the Prom

"You bet will, Judy" He looked
at her earnestly.
Judy took his outstretched hand,
gave it little squeeze, kissed her
mother, and was gone.

Rubber Director Makes
Plea to Car Owners.

You can save rubber and help win
the war if you will do these things
/. Drive only when absolutely
necessary.
2. Keep under 35 miles an hour
8. Keep your tires properly inflated
4. Have them inspected regularly
5. Share your car with others
William M. Jeffers, Rubber Director
William M. Jeffers, Rubber Director,
who made the above recommends
tions, says:
"We must start saving rubber now.
A voluntary campaign must be started
to save precious rubber until nation
wide rationing can be effected. The
newspapers constitute one of our most
direct and effective channels to the
American public.
Therefore, am asking all news
papers, weekly and daily, to put be-
fore their readers at once the urgent
need for saving rubber"

any danger of cancer?
Ans.-There is always possibility
of cancer when Jumps are present in
the breast though in your case the
trouble may or may not be malig-

animation including a microscopic
examination of tissue, if your doctor
thinks it is needed and abide by hi.

WARTIME EPIDEM1CS.

Rumors of cold, flu and pneumonia
epidemics accompanied the first chill
winds of fall. They should be taken
with a judicious seasoning of salt. AT
the same time, it should be remem-
bered that epidemics constitute one of
the frequent evils of wartime and
injudicious applications of food and
fuel rationing may well contribute to
increased illness.
The clear moral in the whole situa-
tion for everybody is to keep at top
form as matter of practical day-by-
day planning. Give thought every day
to getting the right food and a suff1-
cheney of sleep; to wearing enough
clothes to be comfortable in spite OF
lower home temperatures, to avoiding
people who are coming down with
colds, if possible, and certainly to
protecting others from your own
sneezes and sniffleS.
A day in bed is good economy even
in these hard pressed times when you
have a cold. It may save you more

Judy felt supremely content with
the world and herself. Eighteen
is a delightful age to possess, par
ticularly if that eighteen is adorned
by a mass of curly auburn hair and
a brand new tailored suit. Also
further reason for contentment-
Judy was on her Easter vacation,
and home for the first time since
entering college the preceding fall.
Absorbed in her thoughts, the girl
failed to hear the rumble of an ap-
preaching automobile beyond bend
in the road. AS the car rounded the
curve, it ploughed through the deep
ruts, sending up shower of muddy
water which completely enveloped
Judy, new suit, dreams, and all.
For a moment she stood still in
wordless rage, helplessly watching
the car disappear from sight. Then
she sank weakly on stone by the
roadside.

Oh, well, what's the use?" she fin
ished, as two big tears trickled
haltingly down her cheeks.
In spite of her unhappy accident
Judy could not resist going to

her wraps, whispered hurried words
in her ear: cousin Spud Davis

tion-heard lots about you-dying to
meet you-let me introduce him."
Judy was soon dancing easily with
the young man. Good looking, but
very bashful for one who had been
"dying" to meet her, was her
thought when she noticed how quiet
her partner became, after the first
words of greeting.
Spud looked down at her at the
end of the dance. "Tired?" he
asked.
She nodded her head. "a little
bit. It's so warm in here"
Spud fell into the trap. Perhaps

DRUGS REDUCING MORTALITY RATE.
Influenza, Pneumonia ''0n Way Out as Major
 Causes of Death

The glowing picture of the de- cline in influenSa and pneumonia mortality in the United States be- tween 1900 and lea0, as painted re- gently by the Federal Bureau of Census, was by no neanse glowing enough, according to pr. Louis I. Dublin, third vice president and statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company.
 While the decline, as reported by the Census Bureau, represented q 65 per cent drop in the 70 year period = or from 202.2 per 100000 in 1900 to TO.3 per 100000 in l04O
 the success resulting in the last two years from the use of sulfa drugs and other modern treatments has caused Q further and greatly accelerated drop in the influenza and pneumonia death rate to . figure perhaps below 50 per 100000 This conclusion Is reached by Dr, Dublin in the light of the mortality |expereince of the Metropolitan's mill lions of Industrial policyhol olders whose influenza pneumonia death rate for the first seven months ot 1942 was 2O per cent under that oi the corresponding period of 1940 The experience of the insured group Is cited, Dr. Dublin explains because mortality figures for the general public for the years since l94O are not yet available.
 Predicting that as result of the phenomenal reduction in influenzs and pneumonia mortality, caused principally by the use of the sulfs drugs, influenza and pneumonia may be on their way out as major cause; of death, Dr. Dublin says:
 How remarkable this drop 1T mortality really is can only be re- alized by thinking in terms of thu decline per year over the four dec ades from 1900 to 194O, and the cor responding annual figures for thu past two years.
 For the general population, th' decline in influenza and pneumonia mortality has been at 8 rate O 1h per cent Q year in the lou decades. Among the insured wag' earners and their families the rat of decline in the last two years ha1 been more than IA per cent 8 year And much the same results vii probably be found to have occure' in the general population when tn mortality figures become available
 Indeed, if the present trend con tinues for a few more years, pneu monia, which only decade ago wa
 a scourge, will have become a mino cause of death"
