of machine-gun fire cuts him down.
Escape for the man with the tommy gun
seems impossible. The country is alive with
Italian patrols. He comes to quick decision.
Behind him is the Mediterranean.
About mile up the coast, his tommy gun
ready for instant action, he emeTges from the
water. Then, using the stars and the memo

cached canoe.

HE Mediterranean is dark and still.
British submarine lies about mile off
- the Italian coast. In the distance are the
punched lights of small town.
A tiny shape detaches itself from the sub
marine and glides silently to the shore. The two
men in the canoe are almost invisible They
are dressed completely in black. Even the
exposed portions of their skin are blackened.
They cache the canoe in tangle of scrub
close to the shore, then they both look around
to get their bearings. They study the stars
and the position of the various landmarks
that they can make out in the darkness
Both men are armed to the teeth Clusters
of hand grenades hang from their belts One
carries a tommy gun, and an automatic is
strapped to his thigh. The other, short and
wiry. carries two heavy knives and couple
of auton,atics.
The position of their canoe memorized, they
move off toward the village. They travel
swiftly and soundlessly, as did the Indians
of the North American forests.
On the outskirts of the town is the muni-
tons dump. The two men stop. Ahead of
them is the silhouette of an Italian sentry.
The shorter of the two crawls up behind the
unwary soldier. His knife glints momentarily
and the Italian collapses without murmur
Then he moves off toward the group of build
ings that house the munitions.
Midnight Attack
Ills companion, in the meantime, tommy
gun at the ready, steals off to the building
that serves as barracks for the soldiers sta
toned at the dump. He finds vantage point
about Is yards from the entrance and crouch
es there - waiting.
Seconds pass - minutes - then tower
of flame leaps skyward from the munitions
dump. He rises to his feet and hurls grenade
through barracks window. Even before it
explodes he hurls second, then third and
a fourth. There are screams and wild, con-
fused cries.
Finally, the survivors come pouring out
through the door - bloody and Mortified
The sight of the blazing munitions dump,
stabbing into the night with its staccato
explosions, brings them to halt. Etched
against the light they form perfect target
for the man with the tommy gun. Just few
manage to escape into the shadows.
Fingers of light probe into the night sky,
searching for imagined attacking aircraft
Then salvo of random antiarcraft fire adds
its pyrotechnics to the confusion.

GRouNDjiHoG QUIET ABOUT ARRIVAL OF
 SPRING IN JUNEAU

Confusion is felt by the ground hog as well as others concerning whether or not spring approaches in Juneau. According to the old superstition if, on February 2, the ground hog on emerging from his winter hideout sees his shadow he at once retreats to his hole and waits for six weeks before again emerging. Whereas if no shadow is visible he remains in the open and warm weather will follow.
 Now yesterday, your reporter looked and looked and could see no shadows, but about o'clock Sen for Meteorologist Howard T.homp- son declared he believed it bright enough so that a faint shadow could be discerned. What the ground hog thought will be evil denced by our weather during the next six weeks! After reading last nights Empire he said it was hard to make up his mind.

WEAR A "BA5HLYk" WHEN II RAIDS
By DOROTHY ROE AP Fashion Editor

Meet the "bashlyk.'
 It's it the last word in wartime garments, designed for the exigen- cies of air raid shelters by Valen- tina, dress maker to New York S upper crust.
 The "bashlyk", however is a democratic costume, which the de- signer hopes to prevent in inex- pensive versions. A utilitarian cover-all coat, it is equipped with pockets and gadgets to hold pro- visions for night or a weekend.
 The shelter coat, which com
 pares in practicality with the
 new famous Churchill siren
 suit" is designed for comfort
 and speedy dressing. You may
 wear it over slacks, a dress, or
 even pajamas, and feel fully
 equipped.
 One of it's most important parts is red wool jersey helmet, which covers the hair, so you needn't stop to comb out your permanent wave when the siren sounds. The helmet extends well down around the shoulders, for warmth as well as decorative effect.
 The coat is of rough brown home spun Woolen, with attached hood, which is worn over the helmet. On the uper right is roomy pocket to hold cigarettes and chocolate The lower pocket has room for two decks of gin rummy cards. bottle of smelling salts, powder, lipstick perfume and mints-all necessities in an air raid shelter, in the opin- ion of Valentino.
 To the snug belt, which holds
 the wrap-around coat in place,
 is clipped flashlight of dec
 erative red lucite, and under
 the ceat flap is secret pocket,
 for valuables, keys and, of
 course, love letters.
 With the coat are worn warm red wool gloves and step-in moc- casin-type shoes. The sole fasten- ing is an oversize brass safety pin.
 Valentino says she adapted the idea for the coat from the warm wool helmets and "bashlyk' great coats of the Russian soldiers.

DEVELOPMENT
 OF H0kESITE5,
 IN NAT. FOREST

The Act of March 3, 1927 pro- vides opportunity for citizens of the United States to purchase one claim not exceeding five acres, of unreserved nonmineral public lands in Alaska upon payment of $2.5c per acre. This Act applies only to "unreserved public land and does not cover lands within National Forests. However, procedure has been established which permits of elimination of desirable homesite tracts from the National Forest so that title can be obtained under the above Act.
 Homesites
 Those desiring homesites within National Forest areas must first se- cure Special Use homesite permits from the Forest Service at a rental of $500 year The permit re- quirements include the construc- ton of substantial buildings suit able for a permanent home and yearlong residence for at least three consecutive years to the exclusion of home elsewhere. Application for elimination can be made after the improvement and residence re- quirements have been met. Rec ommendation for elimination from the National Forest is then made by the Regional Forester to the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior After elimination application for patent may be made through the General Land Office at Anchorage.
 Unavailable Tracts
 The taking of homesites within National Forests is approved only on tracts tributary to an established settlement or on areas that appear to hold possibilities for the estab- lishment of new communities. Areas that contain exceptionally valuable stands of timber or are needed in connection with water power de- velopment or for road, trail or other public uses are not available for homesites.
 Laid Out in Groups
 Homesite areas are usually laid out in groups in advance of appli- cation. Thirty-four such groups have been surveyed on the Tongass Forest. Practically every settlement in Southeast Alaska has one or more oI these groups totaling 162 tracts. Thirteen groups have been surveyed along Glacier Highway near Juneau. Of these, 58 tracts have been eliminated for patent, 30 are still under permit and 54 are vacant and open for application.
 The first homesite application re- ceived by the Forest Service was dated April 12. 1927. Since then, 820 homesite areas have been ap- piled for on the Tongass Forest. or these, 204 tracts have been elirn- mated for patent and 45 are now in the process of elimination. In ad- dition, IFS homesites were occupied under permit on January 1, 1942.
 For Summer Homes
 Homesite development on the Chugach Forest, in the vicinity of Cordova and Seward, has progress sed satisfactorily but to a lesser degree than on the Tongass Forest in Southeast Alaska. Sixty-seyen areas have been applied for there.
 Many groups of tracts for summer homes have been laid out and placed under permit in the past ten years. These are usually located on the beaches or along main roads ana have proven very popular. summer home tracts can not be eliminated from the National For ests for eventual patent.
