rest until these destroyerS have been
caught and killed; others are quite
slow IN taking steps to rid their
premises of these foreigners. That
is correct-mice came to this new
land from the Old World.
The house mouse is most incon-
spicuously clad in gray, slightly
tinted with yellowish brown, mostly
on the face and shoulders. This
creature can Slither past you so fast
YOU are only aware of shadow 1t
can get into small crannies or hide
so expertly that you can hunt for
some time without discovering them
When your back is turned, the
mouse can dart into another place
you have just inspected or over
looked
Trying to catch house mouse
is too dangerous, You usually arm
yourself with mop or broom and
hit many things you had not in
tended to. The best way to handle
the problem is TO set a trap with
cheese having tantalizing aroma.
Set this "deadfall" where you know
the mouse is sure to come for its
nightly raid on food supplies.
Search the premises until you find
the place where this enemy entered
and make it mouse proof.
There are few foods mice will not
sample. They are filthy in their
habits and leave musky odor that
is very Objectionable. The only
way to clear this up Is to use strong
soap and cleansing material and,
If possible, expose the drawer or
cupboard to fresh air and sunshine
Besides, keep all food in glass or
covered containers.
Mice are native of Southern Asia
whence they have accompanied man
10 all parts Of the world They
raise large families and have sew
eral groups each year. They find
their mates when very young and
live to be several years old
We have been referring to the
house mouse only. 1t is amazing
how many members Of this family
now reside in America. Fortu-
nately for man, mice have many
natural enemies. The owls. hawks
and many t-traveling animals
manage to hold these destructive
pests in check.

Gu S TONER S

IN the months since Pearl Harbor we have
asked you to accept certain adjustments in
collection and delivery schedules so as to CO.
operate with the governments wartime con-
servaton program.
We are now happy to report that, as a
result of these adjustments, Manhattan trucks
are travelling less than half the mileage Of bre-uar
days, yet providing essential laundry service
for more families.
This means that about $1,000 gallons of
gasoline and nearly 900, 900 tire miles are being
sattd zach )tar for the udr effort q. 1t also
means that the life of Manhattan trucks is be-
ing extended so you may continue to re-
ceive collection and delivery service.
Because this saving Of precious gasoline
and rubber was only possible through the
combined efforts of Manhattan customers, we
take this means of publicly thanking you for
your cooperation.
Rest assured that the 500 men and women
of the Manhattan Organization are sparing
no effort to give you the best quality and scrv-
ice possible under the difficulties and limita-
tons of wartime laundry operation.

West very astutely opened the
nine of hearts and South imme-
diately found himself in trouble.
Dummy's queen was covered by East
and South held off until the third
round of hearts. 1t was perfectly
obvious to South that West had led
the top of a worthless and short
heart suit. Hence he could be sure
that East still had two established
hearts. II East regained the lead
he would cash his hearts and set
the contract. But if West gained
the lead he could do no great dam
age since he could not lead hearts.
1t was also clear to South that
his contract depended on bringing
in the diamonds before the enemy
could cash five tricks. With five
tricks in the side suits declarer
needed only four diamonds to make
his contract Hence he did not have
to take q successful diamond fnesse
After little thought he saw that
nothing could save him II East had
the guarded king of diamonds and
two established hearts. But the
contract would be safe If West were
permitted to win trick with the
king of diamonds If he happened
to hold that cardD. The danger
which could be guarded against was
the singleton king Of diamonds in
the East hand.
To guard against that. South led
. low diamond and went right up
with dummy's ace. AS it happened,
that dropped Esst's king, so South
ran 10 tricks in hurry.

WORLD DAY OF
PRAYER TO BE
HELD FRIDAY
juneau Churches Will Hold
Joint Session at
Lutheran Church

4 The churches of Juneau plan
to hold joint services on Friday,
March IL, thus uniting in prayer
with Christians all over the world.
This Day of Prayer will start in
/ the Fiji Islands about the time
Juneau is going to bed and will
follow the sun around the world
until its last rays sink out of sight
in the Pacific.
The World Day of Prayer grew
cut of a suggestion made by the
Woman's Board of Home Missions
of the Presbyterian Church that a
few of the women meet to pray for
Home Missions. Later two women
took a trip around the world and
realized that Christianity was not
to be confined within any nation
al boundaries, but that it had ear
nest adherents everywhere.
So. in 1920, instead of having. a
Day of Prayer just for Home Mis-
sions. the vision was enlarged to
include Foreign Missions as well.
The first Friday in Lent was chosen
for this service Women from the
United States and Canada joined
together in its observance. The
idea spread and in 1927 at the
request of friends from many
countries the first World Day of
Prayer was observed. BY 1886 fifty
countries were keeping this day.
Reports since that time are incom-
plete, but in 1912 over 10000 meet
lings were held in the United States
and Canada alone.
| The services in Juneau will be
held in the Resurrection Lutheran
Church at o'clock in the after
moon, and at o'clock in the eve
ming Everyone will be welcome.
The church is located on the cor
ner of Third and Main streets.

1.-THE olive drab lads had no one to

sional Petty picture. In the mean
time all of these photos were
tucked away safely in showcases
lablaze with colored lights at the
USO. One could almost swear that
these pretty young ladies smiled
more than once at the competitive
spirit and EXPLANATIONS of delight
they evoked from the admiring
crowds of service men gathered
round the showcases.
First prize in this remarkable
contest went to Miss Margaret
