WHY WE CAN'T HAVE THEM

Just year ago today all an American needed to bring the salesmen Hooking to his doorstep was to mention that he thinking about buying new car. If you happened to drop remark over the backward fence that you were thinking about trading in the old radio washing machine or typewriter, chances are 10 to that you would have had half the salesmen in town rappng at the front door the next day.
 But things have changed. Perhaps it might be a little easier to understand why we can't have these things today if we knew that:
 There's enough steel used in auto to make 26 heavy machine guns.
 Seven auto tires use the rubber for bomber tire.
 More metal man-hours, and more machine hours go into typewriter than into one Garand rifle.
 The cuffs from 21 mems suits use much wool as one army uniform.
 Enough steel goes into washing machine to make six 3-inch shells for a 75-mm. field howitzer.
 Solder and alloys in medium tank require as much tin 10000 food cans would require.
 As much silk goes into parachute goes into more than 100 pairs of silk stockings and Nylon that would make 36 pairs of stockings is needed for the shroud lines of parachute
 There is enough zinc in three-and -a-half pound toy locomotive for a carburetor on jeep; enough copper wire strip and brass for a half-dozen .30- caiber cartridges and enough steel in 16 such loco- motives for 3-inch 75-mm howtzer shell.
 Shelac that woud make six photograph records will waterproof the primer cups of 100000 rounds of 3O-caliber cartridges.
 The steel of 12000 razor blades equals the steel in the tail assembly of 2,0OO-pound bomb.
 It takes all the wool that goes into 25 average blankets to equip and clothe soldier year

Japs in Alaska
Tacoma News -Tribune)

(TacOma NewS-ITlbune)
 Ethnogsts tell us that many centuries ago this Pacific coast invaded by tribes from Asia. They probably crossed from northern Siberia, where the climate may have been much mider then, to Alaska. Perhaps in those far off days, there land con- nection which made the journey easier At any rate, scientists think that of Asiatics down the Pacific coast Their racial characteristics still remain in coastal Indian tribes and in the In dians of Central and South America
 This prehistoric invasion is now being duplicated in Alaska. Japanese troops have seized the Ameri- islands of Attu and Kiska Kska has of the biggest harbors the Pacific. Its size is huge but it's entrance is only 9 miles wide and easily be mined.
 The Japs are fortifyng these islands and have moved on to occupy the island of Agattu. American air forces have bombed the invaders and the Navy announced that several Japanese destroyers have been sunk or damaged But the enemy still clings to these outposts and undoubtedly is strengthening his hold day by day.
 Naval authorities complain that the weather around the Aleutians is unfavorable to hamper opera tions. This is to old-tmers in the Pacific Northwest who have long known the Aeutians as the home of bad weather. Fogs alternate with fierce gales, and it is only in the brief summer that the weather is clear for any length of time.
 However, the Japanese have shown ability to use adverse weather conditions cloak to their operations. In their conquest of Malaga, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma, they turned this bad wealth CT into asset.
 If the Japs permitted to retain their grasp Oh American soil, they will inch forward, island by island, just as they did in the Orient Unless Am orleans awaken to the gravity of the situation, may find the Aleutian chain finally in Japanese hands. q If this should occur, the enemy will then be in a position to push invasion of the Alaskan main- and or, as is more likely, to the islands to cut off the supplies via the northern route to Russia Japanese submarines planes, based on the Aleutians, could make the route to Siberia impos- sibe. It would also provide base for operations against the Pacific Northwest. Japanese bombers based in Alaska could harry not only the cities of the Northwest but could do damage inland points
 Point by point, American and British forces have been driven from the Orient until the Japanese are now in control from Australia to the tip of the Aleu- tians and eastward to Midway. With submarines and planes based on these islands it will be long and difficult task to carry the to Tokyo. The battles on the Russian plains are important to the United Nations So, too, British efforts in safeguarding the Nile and the Suez Canal But these should not blind American eyes to the fact that American soil is held by invaders and that this invasion is inching forward in the far north

ence is well known, but also by the Sikhs and the powerful native prin- ces of India.
 If these groups would pull to- gether. they could upset the civil disobedience campaign, but they themselves have been torn by bloody religious riots in the past, and may fall to the same dissen- sion again - with the Japanese standing by, waiting for the kill.
 The bearded Sikhs of northwest India are numerically small-only about 6000.000-but physically very powerful. They have no sympathy with the Gandhi program.
 Equally hostile to Gandhi's Hin du following are the Moslems, but to make the triangle complete there is an age-long feud between the Moslems and the Sikhs.
 The native princes, for their part are hostile to Gandhi because he has threatened to democratize their states. and break down the protec- tion they have enjoyed from Great Britain. These fabulous and be- jewelled gentry of the Kipling stories control about 40 percent o1 the area of India and 90,000, DOG people. There are no less thar 600 such princes, and many have large, we'll trained armies of thcil own. which can be counted on tc fight against Gandhis Hindus, i it comes to civil war.

JONES ON THE TELEPHONE

There is an important story be- hind the routine announcement that Warren Lee Pierson, President of the Export-Import Bank, has been appointed board member of the gigantic International Tele- phone & Telegraph Company. This is one of the rare instances when a U. s. government official has been brought into the board of a private corporation.
 The significance of the move is that Jesse Jones, having lent IT&T a fistful of money, put trusted man on the board to represent him. But Pierson will do more than guard the governments fin ancial investment; he will also keep an eye on the international opera tions of this giant utility-opera tions which vitally affect U. s foreign affairs.
 Already the government had put its hand into IT&T business, block ing the proposed sale of the IT&T property in Spain for $60,0O0, ,0OO to what appeared to be a Spanish company. The State Department suspected that the Spanish con- pany was merely a front for Ger man interests, and asked IT&T to reject the offer.
 IT&T President Sosthenes Behn agreed, then promptly turned up with request for a loan. IT&T had sold it's Rumanian property for $14000,000 just before the Ma zis took over, and had hoped to get out of Spain as handsomely It was suffering losses from all European properties because the operating units were being paid in blocked funds.
 It was at this point that Jesse Jones advanced the $2O00O,OO cred. it, following an earlier credit o1

HOROSCOPE "The stnrs incli'1e
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, AUGUST 2s

SATURDAY, AOGOOl zS
 Benefic aspects rule in the early hours today but later adverse influ- ences are strong. Labor is we'll directed and will add to its fame in production for the war
 HEART AND HOME: This should be a fortunate day for women and especially for the grandmothers. It is a time to stress all the dainty and artistic details that make homes charming The young may expect romance While youths will be earnest wooers, older men will seek wives. It is lucky date for recreations of many sorts. Resort hotels should profit as the season closes,
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: American optimism will be demonstrated Tn the marts of trade next month. This is a date for wise planning, but delay in making definite de- cisions will be profitable. Science is to make progress along lines that will prove novel channels of business. Chemists as well as cleo trical engineers will make great contributions to human welfare. Capitalists with foresight will have opportunities to build up novel lines of business.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: One of the few benefits of the Second World War is due to national surveys which brought out astonishing facts regarding the health and iteracy of young men. Physicians and edu- cators thus have been spurred to repair defects and to prevent repe- tition of unfavorable conditions. As the time is near for reopening the public schools the democracy which provides free instruction to the children of all citizens will demand that greater care of youth, the greatest of the nations assets, shall be improved and extended.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s :: South America continues under as- poets which assure the fullest CO., operation with the United Nations. Argentina and Chile will both prove strong Allies before the end of the Second World War, it is forecast. Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay and British Guiana may be attacked by the Axis or subjected to extreme danger from ocean warfare. Tine west coast of Mexico should be well guarded.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- usual experiences in which there may be delays and disappointments, but benefits will overbalance any ill luck.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have active minds and keen intellects. They will be intui- tive, independent and able to make a success of life.

 Now there's a character for you," said the youth. "A great fellow for making friends. He doesn't know me from Adam, but every time We meet on the ele- Vator, he gives me a big smile and asks how things are going. I wonder what his angle is. Do you think maybe he's one of these lobbyists?"
