perhaps less than they affected comparable work in regions that were not so remote and that were more directly affected by the war As result of these conditions some of the Alaskan developments were stimulated and some handi- capped. Expectation of difficulty in obtaining supplies doubtless de- tered some operators from under taking projects and led to curtail- ment of plans, but on the other hand the impetus of demands caused by the war undoubtedly stimulated the undertaking of ex- plorations that otherwise would not have been considered.
 High Levels Maintained
 Prices of mineral products were maintained at high levels through out 194l but were essentially the same as those in the preceding year. Thus the unit price of gold, silver (which qualified for purchase under the Government arrange ment for that metal produced from domestic ores), antimony, coal, and limerock were the same during the two years. Copper and lead were a fraction of cent pound high CT in 1941 than in 1940, tin was about two cents a pound higher, and mercury about eight cents a pound higher Apparently, plati- mum was the only metal entering in significant amounts into the AL askan mineral production whose unit price was lower in 1941 than in 1940, and it was about $2 an ounce less.
 Labor Disputes
 Unquestionably. the output of minerals from Alaska mines in 1941 would have been much greater had some of the operations not been curtailed through interruptions caused by labor disputes. In one of the principal placer mines of the Territory. work was suspended for a month and half pending the settlement of such dispute. Short age of skilled workers handicapped operation on some of the proper ties. This shortage was brought about, in part at least, by the de-

GIorting
Yourself
By Alicia Hart
YEA Service STAFF Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer
It's very right to accent your
beauty assets and in my book that's
what the woman who is built TO
normal scale-whatever her dimen-
sions-should keep in mird. She
can let her mind rest easy about
drawbacks.
But there Is time for camou-
fiage, and when it strikes you. why
not use it without apology?
That time for caEoufiage is
when you have figure or facial
characteristics which evokes a
negative response, in others or in
your own estimation, and which
will not yield to corrective meas
ureS.
You can reduce a double chin,
| for instance, but not really
heavy jawthrust that comes from
the size and shape Of the bone
Then, soften that jaWline by
wearing your hair fairly long, with
plenty of fullness below and just
behind the ears. Experimenting
you will find a 1912 Golf which
truly does something for you -
heaven knows they're varied
enough.
USE THESE DEVICES
WITHOUT HESITATION
Any woman can lose weight or
gain 1t, if she wants to. But if one S
abnormally, disproportionately wide
hips are due to the bone structure
the sensible thing to do is choose
clothes to buNd the shoulders out
to scale. This type should never
wear moulded gowns which follow
the figure from throat to knees
rather, she wears broad-gauge Jokes
she clings to padded shoulders as
long as she possibly can without
looking conspicuous. She has lots OF
massive necklaces and widened
frilly neckwear. And her skirt al
ways minimizes the hip, especially
the line of it. She will not own a
snug hipped skirt, and the fullness
Of her skirt begins t the waist
line instead of below lie hip.
This inventory-month is a good
time to take stock of your defects
and settle them. Then you'll have
more time and energy to put into
pointing up your attractions.

STATE

Attractions concluding their en-
gagements with performances this
evening at Warmers State theater
are Birth Of the Blues" with Bing
Crosby, Mary Martin, Brian Donlevy
Carolyn Lee, Rochester and score
of other favorites; also Albert Dek-
ker, Susan Hayward and Frances
Farmer in Among the Living.
Holding more than mild comedy
interest for the average theatergoer,
"Skylark", merry sideshow of do
nestle affairs, comes to the screen
at the State tomorrow with Clau-
dette Colbert, Ray Milland and Brian
Aherne in co-starring roles.
The romantic comedy, which once
again co-stars the famous hit team
Of last years "Arise My Love-" is
crammed full with brittle dialogue,
striking backgrounds of luxurious
Long Island estates and parade of
advance fashion designs that will
prove to be the envy Of every wo-
man in the audience.
Setting new comedy pace aboard
fast-moving merry -go-round, :"
Claudette thumbs her nose at a mar
r1age Of five years which has made
her and her home just a prop and
background to impress her hus-
bands business clients. Ray Mil
land, the husband, is nonplussed at
the fact that his wife considers love
more important than his business
career. Brian Aherne, the "other
man." takes one look at Claudette
and from then on realizes how
empty his bachelor life has been.
Binnie Barnes, the straying wife of
Milland's biggest client, has no in
tention of letting Claudette steal
Aherne, her part time boy friend.
And caught in the dizzy domestic
whirlpool are Walter Abel and Mona
Barrie, a happily married couple who
try to straighten everything and
everybody out.
That's the setup Of "Skylark"
which is guaranteed to have tomor-
rows audiences roaring with laugh
ter.
Fiction's suaves rogue comes to the
screen in the second hit of the pro-
gram, Confessions of Boston
Blackie", which again presents Ches-
ter Morris in the title role and
features Richard Lane, George E.
Stone and Joan Woodbury..

THE LITTLE YELLOW
UNDERMEN

Newspaper commentator presnet-
ing an esay of japanese military
power, remarks that the average
height of Japanese sailors is feet
81 inches, weight 1875 pounds, and
the average chest measurement is 80
inches. This chest measurement, the
commentator explains, gives the
little yellow "undermen" or trained
monkeys" as Hitler and his Nazi
pals call them, great staying power
for long marches or other hard
physical tasks. How the commenta-
tor draws this inference from the
comparatively normal chest meas
urement of the "gelben Geschmeisse'
yellow vermin" as the Germans call
them, the yellow Aryans" as the
Italian propagandists now identify
them, is probably a scientific mys-
terry beyond the comprehension OF
ordinary minds.
Neither the relationship of height
or stature and chest measurement
nor the number of inches the indi-
vidual can expand the chest has
any particular bearing on strength
endurance or staying power. Nor
has it any particular bearing on vi
tality or longevity. That is to say
the big-chested individual is not
likely to outlast the individual with
just an average or even little less
than average chest measurement
compared with age and stature
other things being equal. This no.
ton that large chest or a larger
than average chest expansion indi-
Gates physical strength or staying
power or anything of the kind is
current today only in the comic
supplement.
If the Japanese have any special
capacity for endurance or any spe-
cial staying power, it failed to APP
pear in the contests of the last
Olympic games held in this country
Japanese entrants in numerous
events made a fair showing but GER
tainly did not outstrip Americans
in any notable way.
The wspaper commentator
quotes a physician with Teutonic
name) who practiced medicine in
Japan for eight years. This physi-
clan found the Japanese more toll
Grant of pain and less apt to be de-
pressed and Respondent in illness
than the European.
That may be as the Teuton found
it, but he was comparing the jap
anese spirit or temperament with
the European. A characteristic of
the Teutonic temperament, if not
OF that of other Europeans, is the
tendency to become depressed over
such setbacks as obstinate illness
or a succession of misfortunes or
failures of any kind. Most of the
suicides or suicidal attempts that
have occurred in my own practice
have been of that category. So, to
my mind, 1t is not saying great
deal for Japanese temperament to
say the yellow Aryans" can stand
adversely and suffering better than
the blond barbarians can.
In America, the melting pot, we
have all kinds of people, but know
ing what we do of the physical con-
dition and the morale of the men
and women of America, we must
set 1t down as due to their insular
position that the people of Japan
can believe America has gone soft"
with luxurious living and will not
arouse herself.
