There are no good lawn grasses
that remain In good moving condi-
ton throughout the summer with
out irrigation and special care on
most soils in this locality. Our eli
mate and soils are adapted to the
growth OF forests. Nevertheless, dur
ing the spring and autumn the low
lying dark loans produce an excel
lent growth of Kentucky Blue
Grass. which IS our best general
lawn grass. During the hot dry
period from July TO September, the
lawn is likely TO become brown and
dry with not much green showing
excepting in the shade OF buildings.
Often crab grass appears in the
lawn and gives us something 20
NOV until the blue grass returns
with the fall rains. Some people DO
not object to the brown dry condi-
ton OF the lawn in midsummer
IL the grass is permitted to grow
about 3 or inches long in July
before it turns brown. It gradually
falls over and makes a smooth car
pet for summer. By frequent irriga-
ton and occasional fertilization. a
good green lawn can be kept all
summer. II the soil Is sufficiently
acid. the bent grasses can be

more care than blue grass in this
locality. II is used in special places

such as golf courses, putting greens,

Large trees on lawns are fertil-
lied by pouring a half cupful OF
mixed fertilizer into each OF many
holes spaced 3 or feet apart on
the ground mostly under the outer
fringe OF branches.
The holes are made some about
foot and some nearly two feet
deep by means OF soil augur. The
reason for putting most OF the fertil-
izer under the outer fringe OF
branches is because most of the
feeding roots OF the tree are out
there. When trees are standing
close together. the feeding roots OF
one tree are likely to be under the
other tree and vice versa Similar
methods may be used IN orchards

Cultivated orchards are fortified

actually fortified is approximately

mostly nitrate or ammonia fertil-
izers and only small amounts of
potash and phosphorus on most OF
the soils OF this locality.

International in Scope

The aggravating part Of II will

comparatively small plateful OF il,
or part Of Us will have TO go entire
~ without, I take it that most OF
US will be willing TO share and
share alike with everybody else in
the United States. This coming
period Of rationing. however. is to
be on an international scale. That
is to say, we and all the rest of the
anti-Axis democracies are to be in
on il.
Suppose, for example, that we,
here at home, have ample resources
in apple pie, for just as much as
there's an appetite for at every ia
bic in our own land. But suppose
that Britain. Russia and the Chi
nese are fairly perishing for apple
pie. In that event, we'll have to
content ourselves with half slice
apiece in order TO divide up with
these allies Of ours.
My guess Is that it'll make q
Yankee apple pie fend kinda sore
to feel that he's being stinted, not
for his own countrymen's benefit,
but for the benefit OF the British,
Russians and Chinese.
It's true, they'll be doing the
same thing to supply US with their
various specialties. but maybe
they'll be specialties that American
apple pie eaters aren't interest
ed in.

He added that farm families were

teeth and the great care that the
Army Board takes in making these
records.
Light on General Health
l concluded after some study
that an examination of the teeth
both by inspection and by the K
ray might throw light on the gen.
eral health of the body.
The general shape, spacing and
structure Of the teeth indicate such
things as general infection Hutch
inson's teeth, diabetes, develop
mental disorders of the body such
as might occur in gisntism or pitu-
itary disease. These, however, are
rare.
Malocclusion, loose bridgework
and bad plates. all suggest incom-
plete mastication and consequent
disturbances Of the digestion and
nutrition. The Army Boards, !
find, stress this good deal but in
my experience, while it seems
logical to think that they ought to
cause bad health, they seldom in
terfcre with the digestion and nu-
triton at all.
In fact, from observation of GER
tain colleagues of mine ! have al
most come to the conclusion that
the teeth are unnecessary. These
men have complete upper and low
er plates which they will remove
at meal time, using them entirely
for esthetic purposes. They MUNICH
and humble their food with bare
gums and in the time during which
they have been doing this, they
have none of them had the slight
est attack of indigestion of any
kind and have gained on an av-
erage Of fifty pounds apiece. /
gather therefore that the impor-
lance Of proper occlusion of the
teeth has been somewhat overdone.
Interrupted Teeth
Interrupted teeth, crowded teeth
and removal of teeth which inter-
fere with the functions of the body;
these conditions have repeatedly
been described as the cause of
headache, face ache and neural
gia. have the greatest amount of
skepticism that crowded teeth or
interrupted teeth ever cause these
symptoms. | believe so because in
the first place, people who have
headaches Of this kind almost al
ways have neurotic background,
and in the second place, a great
many people have the same condi-
ton without having any tooth
trouble. In the third place, when
the tooth trouble is corrected the
symptoms do not disappear in most
cases. The public has been over
sold on this idea.
Partial Deafness
However, there is one condition
described by DR.. James Costen, of
st. Louis, in which owing to a re-
moval Of too many lower teeth,
especially back teeth, the jaw Joint
slips out Of place and closes up the
Eustachian tube to the ear, causing
partial deafness, attacks of YER
tigo, neuralgia and roaring Of the
ears. This is a syndrome which is
not sufficiently well known either
TO dentists or TO ear men, and is .
perfectly definite and clear-eut

Engagement of Miss Irene Jones to PAA
 Captain, Announced

At a small party given by Mrs. R. W. McCrary yesterday afternoon the engagement of Miss Irene Jones to Joseph Waltonen was announced. The wedding will take place during the winter though definite date has not yet been set by Miss Jones.
 Guests for the occasion, all close friends of the bride-to-be, were the Misses Jean VanderLeest, Pat Doo- ley, Eleanor LaFleur, Bobby Dooley, Betty King, Alice Johnson, Edna Harpole and the guest of honor.
 The announcement was made in novel fashion, using a blackboard as a bulletin board on which news of the coming event was written in chalk, together with clever sketches of the couple.
 Miss Jones, who came to Juneau from her home in Portland, Oregon two years ago to accept position as teacher in the schools has sub mitted her resignation effective De- cember 23. She has many friends in Juneau as has Mir Waltonen, a captain with Pan American Airways Alaska Division. He was recently transferred to Seattle headquarters from Fairbanks.
