alderman. Ahola, who Frank zgonc

primary election, by law had his name
placed on the ticket when Zgonc with
drew.
Because of the large number Of ell
gtble voters serving In the armed

previous general elections. Nineteen
absentee ballots were returned in Sep

ably be somewhat greater.

Buy War Bonds and Stamps

The U. S. Steel News for the month
of September tells the story of ~. s.
Steel and the War Bond Drive" very
convincingly and pays tribute to its
employees for their loyalty in buying
their TOPPER cent of the payroll bonds
and stamps monthly. Among the many
shipbuilding and furnace companies
listed, the employees of the Oliver
Mining company stand out for bond
purchases in the front rank. This is
noticed in the bond drives in Ely and
other places where the company oper-
ates. The same is true of the other
mining interests of this section of
the country. The News also pays
tribute to the women workers in its
organization.

his gas coupon book by signing an
affidavit at the school in which he
registers. Later, when he gets it, he
can turn his registration card over
to the board to have the serial num-
Der of the gas coupon book stamped
on its back.
TIRE INSPECTION-Holde of the
basic "a" gas coupon books will be
required to have their tires inspected
every four months, while those who
get "B" and sc" books for greater
distance driving will be subject to
inspection every two months. Compe-
tent tire men of good repute in their
communities will be appointed tire
inspectors. Passenger and commercial
cars cannot be certified for continued
operation when tires need repairs or
mechanical faults cause unnecessary
tire wear.
IDLE TIRE SALES-E. w. Hanson,
local agent of the Railway Express
Agency, designated by the government
to collect and ship to regional ware
houses all tires offered for sale under
the idle tire plan, has had a good
number turned in to him.
Persons having more than five tires
must sell the excess castings to the
government, which will make them
available for rationing to keep the
nations passenger cars rolling for es-
sential mileage.
Car owners are required to list
serial numbers of all tires when reg
istering for gasoline, and rations will
be denied those having more than
five tires.
To sell his tires to the government,
the individual should telephone the
Railway Express Agency Office to pick
up his tires and take them to a gov
eminent designated warehouse. The
owner will be given a receipt for the
tires and will receive his check, or
war bonds and stamps if he desires,
in payment from the government
shortly after the tires have been in
spected at the warehouse for official
determination of their value. Pay
ment will be at retail price ceiling
levels
Those who live outside Railway Ex-
press Agency pickup zones should
bring in their idle tires.
To each tire, the Railway Express
Agent will attach a shipping tag iden-
tifying it with the receipt given to the
seller. All tires collected in this way
will be sent to the warehouses where
they will be appraised by a paid tire
expert. No deduction will be made for
the services performed by the Railway
Express Agency.
Damaged but repairable tires and
tubes will be appraised at their cell
ing prices, less cost of repairs. Scrap
rubber prices will be paid for any
that cannot be made serviceable. Per-
sons owning castings obviously fit only
for scrap should sell them at once to
scrap rubber dealers, a transaction
permitted in present restrictive orders.
STORAGE BATTERIES-Autom
storage batteries have been placed
under ceiling by special order of the
OPA. Manufacturers may charge one
cent a pound of lead content in their
batteries over the price they charged
in October, 1871, but under no circum-
stances can the price to the public be
above the March, 1912, ceiling price.

ink to the reports, this was the hrst
strike In the Paris district for 4
long time. On the same days fur
ther incidents occurred on the Ave-
nue. d'Orleans. where revolver shots
were fred and two policemen were
seriously wounded.
Coinciding with these incidents,
the Vichy authorities issued two
new DEGREES. The first bans, or
rather confirms previous ban on
all manifestations which may dis
turb the public peace. The second
prescribes the death penalty for
unauthorized possession of explo-
sives and arms.
A Vichy dispatch In the Neue
zuercher zeitung describes the de-
crees as a warning to the popula-
tions Of districts which may become
the scenes Of military operations.
Doriot in Picture.
Meanwhile, reports are growing
that the Germans are looking again
to Jacques Doriot, head Of the Party
Populaire Francois and a former
lieutenant in the Volunteer Legion
on the Russian front. as a conven-
lent substitute for Pierre Laval, as
chief of government, should the
situation deteriorate.
Although much more amenable
than Laval to German wishes-so
much so that one cannot see what
he would refuse them-Doriot has
the similar disadvantage Of carry
ing little weight with the French
masses who are less convinced than
ever of the virtues Of collaboration
and who consider him a French
Quisling.
Doriot. who started his career as
4 Communist, acquired definite
popularity among the French
workers during q short period in
1887, but lost 1t again when it
appeared he was backed by French
industrialists who were using him
as a tool to counteract Communist
propaganda.
As for Laval, he seems, from all
reports out Of Vichy, to be getting
more and more worried by the
possibility of the Germans support
ing Doriot against him. Lavals
friends, and they are many, describe
his popularity as having increased
among the French people lately
The main explanation, they say, i,
that he refused to break of diplo-
! matte relations with America. Ru-

Fereisn Correspondent Of The Star and

BERN, Aug. 3.-Eyewitness ac-
counts from Paris reveal 4 state OF
increasing nervousness among Par
isians, As rumors Of an imminent
British Allied landing somewhere
In northern France are being
spread, and the definite anxiety Of
the occupiers concerning the atti-
tude OF this unruly population IN
such an event.
The Nazis, these reports say, now
are hastily putting Paris into state
Of defense against serious riots. One
informant saw with his own eyes
trenches being dug In Rondpoint
the Champs Elysees and along the
man Paris arteries. Fortif1cations
also are being erected in the Place
de la Concorde and the Place de
LEtoile while the suburban forts
of Mont-valerien and Suresnes are
being actively put into a state OF
preparedness.
From $4,000 to 10000 crack Ger
man troops are estimated to have
taken part in the parade staged In
Paris last Wednesday. To give the
Parisians time to be impressed, the
troops marched in twos instead OF
fours and passed twice. through the
different quarters Of Paris.
First Strike in Long Time.
It would seem, however, that the
people were left completely indiffer-
ent to this display, judging by the
series Of violent incidents that oc-
curred m tI,g farmer French Capital
