MISSOURI FILM
 IS SHOWING AT
 TWENTIETH HERE
Bad Men of Missouri" Is Exciting Bandit Story
 of Early Days

The colorful story of the Younger brothers in ther daring escapades throughout the Old West is vividly told in the Warner Bros exciting film successor to that studios Dodge City" and Santa Fe Trail" |" Bad Men of Missouri" which is now showing at the goth Century Theatre.
 The Younger brothers were one of the toughest trio of bandits in Americas turbulent history They robbed banks, trains and stage coaches with daring that was unbelievable, taking the law into their own hands to avenge the wrongs done their neighbors by an avaricious power-grasping banker.
 Dennis Morgan Wayne Morris and Arthur Kennedy play the parts of the Robin Hood type of desper- adoes and from advance reports we hear that they are perfectly cast as the three embittered boys who return from the Civil War only to find their father murdered and their home and the homes of most of their neighbors in the hands of the local banker. Jane Wyman plays the role of girl who loves Jim Younger, Arthur Kennedy's part, and tries to dis suade him from becoming crim- inal. But he and his brothers are determined to avenge their fathers death.

May Reduce Surcharge
When asked what he believes the
result of the hearings might be,
Mr.. Roden said that some surcharge
probably will be permitted to be
imposed by the transportation COM
panies, but not in the amount
asked, which is 45 per cent.
The consensus, he said, is that
ways and means will be found TO
have the nation as a whole assume
the burden if the Maritime Com
mission finds that the carriers are
entitled to an increased rate to
meet war conditions.
The carriers strongly urged, said
Mr.. Roden, that the surcharge was
not intended to yield any addi-
tional revenue, but was to be APP
piled simply for the purpose Of
absorbing extraordinary operating
costs incurred by the companies on
account of war conditions.
The Attorney General said that
while exact figures for these extra
costs cannot be given at this time,
they are quite large.

ADDRESSES

Army Man Warns Against
Spreading Military
Information

Major B. B. Talley, U. S. En-
gineers, now in Juneau for brief
visit, addressed members of Juneau
Rotary Club at noon luncheon to-
day in Percy's Cafe.
Major Talley told the Rotarians
I'VE are in a position of defending
Alaska. We should not underesti-
mate the Japanese or the Germans.
We are facing danger far greater
than we faced in 1913"
In emphasizing close-lipped atti-
tude for all Alaska residents con-
corning anything the U. S. Army is
doing anywhere, Major Talley said
that the Japanese receive all clip
pings concerning military move
ments from all newspapers and also
have listening posts to gather vital
information carried on the air.
Major Talley said that the with
holding of military information in
the United States is not being done
because military officials don't want
the American people to know what
is going on. Rather. he said, it is
because the army doesn't dare to re-
lease any information which might
find its way to the enemy.
Rod Darnell, Rotary Club Presi-
dent, was welcomed back to the club
and presided. He returned to Juneau
from the States last night
Dean Allen was a visitor from
Juneau High School and Ed Blake,
also was a visitor.
! The club accepted delivery of a
$500 Defense Savings Bonds which
had been purchased earlier. Other
business included the appointment
of Charles w. Carter to investigate
the Rotary Club Conference which
will be held in Vancouver in May.

BINOCULARS ARE
WANTED BY NAVY:
JUST MAKE LOAN

Following precedent established
in the First World War, the Navy
is asking for the loan of binocu-
lars which meet service require
ments from patriotic citizens who
now possess them, the Thirteenth
Naval District has announced.
Two sizes of binoculars only will
meet the Nays specifications. Six
by thirty binoculars, used for sight
ing ships and large objects at in
termediate or long distances, are
wanted for ordinary navigational
purposes.
Seven by fifty glasses, used for
sighting aircraft and distinguishing
ships at extreme distances, are also
desired. Because of the difficulty
of obtaining spare parts for num-
erous types of binoculars, the Navy
will accept the loan only of .Zeiss
or Bausch and Lomb glasses.
They should be sent, carefully
packed, to the Naval Observatory,
Washington, D. c. Each instru-
ment should be accompanied by an
identification tag, bearing the name
and address of the sender. The
Navy will then pay 81 for each set
of binoculars accepted for use, and
will return them to their owners
at the end of hostilities if the
glasses are still in use,

GOODS HARD
TO PURCHASE,
JONES FINDS
President, Juneau Young
Hardware Company,
Ends Buying Trip

Hardware supplies and fur
niture are becoming increasingly
difficult to obtain from wholesalers
in the States, John w. Jones,
President of the Juneau-Young
Hardware Company, said today up
on returning from a five-week buy
ing trip to Pacific Coast cities.
Jones said he visited five job
bers before he was able to fill his
orders for nails. Rubber hose was
difficult to purchase in sufficient
quantity and will be impossible to
obtain before long, he predicted.
Factories OverwOrked
Also affected by the drive to con-
serve materials for the war effort
is the furniture supply. Furniture
factories are overworked now try
ing to supply army environments
with beds, chairs and other equip
ment and civilian dealers, conse-
quently, have to shop around to
fill their needs.
Attends Furniture Show
Accompanied by Mrs. Jones, the
Juneau man went to Seattle by
steamer and then made most OF
the rest of the trip by air. He
flew to California, where he at
tended the annual furniture show
in San Francisco, then went to
Los Angeles to make further pur-
chases. In Portland, the Joneses
visited relatives and then spent
some time in Seattle.
Sunday Driving
Jones said one of the most strik-
ing signs of the times could be
observed on Sundays on the high
ways. The number of Sunday
drivers has decreased tremendous
ly, he said, because civilians are
remaining at home to conserve rub
Der tires. More and more the ten
dency is to use the family automo-
bile only for business and in many
neighborhoods where he Visited
Jones found that the men of the
community drive to work in one
automobile, both to save the other
cars and to avoid the traffic jams
which occur daily in the defense
cities.
