Much Thanks
the Montreal Star.

From the Montreal Star.
The people of Canada and the United
States in this and all succeeding genera
tions will be deeply grateful to their re-
spective governments for the decision to
crop that synthetic monstrosity "Alcan"
as name for the recently completed
highway from the international boun-
Diary TO Alaska. The road is to be called,
quite simply and sensibly, what it is, the
Alaska Highway"
"Alcan" was kindly intended and
doubtless was born of considerable brain
fag on the part of its originator. 1t
strove to perpetuate Canada's share in
the undertaking, a quite considerable
one, since by far the greater part of the
road is built on Canadian territory, to-
gether with an indication of the road S
final destination, Alaska The resultant
combination was never graciously re-
ceived, at least in Canada, where most
newspapers unkindly suggested that AL
cam sounds more like something that
comes from the druggists than like a
great military and engineering achieve
ment

Humburq's Pillar of Flame

While popular interest centers now
in the drama unfolding in Italy, 1t
may be that much more significant
chapter in the history of this war
was being written last week by Allied
bombing of Hamburg. The results
Of this experiment in concentration
on a single objective are truly ap-
palling, not so much in the demon
stration of what has been done in
Hamburg as in the contemplation of
what is in store for other German
cities.
In last Wednesdays Star Major
George Fielding Eliot drew the COM
parison between the 1000 tons OF
bombs unloaded by the Luftwaffe
during the ninety-day "blitz" of Lon
don and the 4,300 tons of bombs
dropped in two night raids of July
"a and Is by the RAF alone on Ham
burg and Essen. Last Fridays Star
carried dispatch from London re-
viewing activities for the week end
ing July 28-7,000 tons dropped on
Essen, Hamburg and other targets
with a loss of per cent of the raid
ing forces. Two thousand more tons
were dropped on Hamburg on Thurs
day night, the seventh consecutive
raid in five days. Within less than
week, in other words, Allied planes
were unloading twice the weight of
bombs on two German cities that
the Luftwaffe, at the height of its
now rapidly declining power, was
able to drop in twelve weeks of con-
centrated attack in Britain.
A dispatch from Stockholm in yes
terday's Star hinted-but it was little
more than a hint-of the result in
Hamburg. In the words of an eye
witness, one of thousands of dazed
survivors fleeing the destruction,
| Germany's second largest city and
chief port has ceased to exist" 1t
is unlikely that there has been COM
parable devastation since the war
began. Perhaps not more than fifty
houses remained in city of more
than a million population. Esti-
mates of death alone are that 10000
people were killed.
No people can stand that for long
What has been done in a week of
concentrated bombing on Hamburg
can be done elsewhere. Berlin is not

Time for Enforcement

Ever since the war made Wash
ington's housing shortage acute the
Commissioners have been caught be-
tween pressure for reasonable en-
forcement of the regulations for
boarding and rooming houses and
the contrary pressure against en-
forcement of regulations that would
chiefly penalize the tenants by de-
priving them of a place to live They
ran up blind alley in their attempt
to enforce fire-escape regulations
For even the compliant landlords,
who wanted to install them, could
not obtain them.
Now the Commissioners have gone
over their regulations again, elimi-
mating requirements rendered i'm
practical by wartime shortages, and
leaving only those that can be
complied with. Their announcement
that some sixty-two establishments
fail to meet license requirements
by noncompliance with minimum
health and other regulations is evil
IDENTIFY the opening gun of new en-
forcement effort that should receive
the strongest support from the local
courts. For while the majority of
landlords no doubt are as anxious as
the Commissioners to comply with
regulations, there is a minority that
plainly takes advantage of the war
emergency to resist enforcement
The Commissioners, it would seem,
have gone about as far as they
should go in modifying the regula-
tions. They announced one set of
notifications on May 29 after hav-
ing denied permits to some 1000
boarding and rooming houses. They
modified them again on July 16, cas-
ing up on some restrictions that
have nothing to do with material
shortages, but are impractical be-
cause of the lack of housing.
The sixty-two cases of noncompli-
ance are merely the first. About
$500 applications for license have
been made. This time the Commits
sioners evidently mean business.

A Bit Thick

In these wartimes it is good to
rally round and help out others.
The task may be unfamiliar, but
what does that matter? For in
stance, if a housewife can step into
shipyard or plane factory and weld
or rivet, surely a househusband can
step into, a kitchen or pantry and
cook 1t is practically automatic
that he can; and even possible that
he might show his wife thing or
two.
Such was the case of a husband In
Great Falls, Montana, who felt sure
that he could improve on the cooking
if given a chance. In an unguarded
moment he was, and made his point
the hard way. He always had
complained that the gravy was too
thin, and when handed a 47-ration-
point roast in the raw and told to
use his judgment, if any, he beamed
and decided to go heavy on the flour.
Just to demonstrate that husband
really can be spectacular in kitch-
en-, suffice it to remark that he sue
ceeded beyond his widest dreams.
He made the thickest gravy ever
seen in Great Falls or anywhere else.
In fact, it was so thick that after
several knives and spoons had been
broken on it, an investigation was
conducted and At ration points we're
written off as a total loss Nothing
wss proved conclusively, however.
The wife's violent claim that mans
place is not in the kitchen was
counteracted by the husbands
equally vigorous contention that
neither is the kitchen any place for
pla"ter of paris.

The House of Sovoy

At IA and not in the best of health,
Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy
since 1900. may not care very much
what happens to himself in the pres
ent crisis. but it is natural for him
to be concerned about the House of
Savoy to which he belongs The
Oldest reigning family in Europe"
traces back nearly a thousand years.
One of the founders was Humbert
of the White Hand, a feudal lord
who, beginning in 1908. gradually
extended his dominion from Sal
mourenc in the Viennois until it in
cluded territories on both sides of
the Alps. His grandson Oddone con-
tinued his work and died, in 1860, a
person of continental importance.
Then followed Count Thomas I, like
wise an expansionist, who acquired
further holdings not least of which
we're Geneva and its environs.
Amadeus V, between 1885 and
1928, reassembled lands which
had been divided among different
branches of the clan. Skilled in the
arts Of war. he acted as an arbiter
between France and England and
was valued ally of Henry VII of
Luxembourg. His successors were his
sons, Edward the Spender and
Aimone the Peaceful, who strove to
repair the harm done to the states
exchequer and proved one of
the best princes of his line" Amadeus
vi, the Green Count, was little boy
of nine, the child of Aimone, when
he became head of the family in 1343.
Eventually, he led an expedition
to the east against the Turks and
was, in every constructive respect,
universal character.
Continued enlargement of the
Savoy domains under Amadeus VII
and Amadeus VIII gained the latter
the title of duke at the hands of the
Emperor Sigismund in 1416. But
the first of the family to wear that
lofty dignity is better remembered
for a higher Office which he filled
from 1439 to 1449. In spite of his not
being a priest, the Council of Basel
elected him Pope, and he assumed
the style of Felix v in the annals of
Rome. His son, Louis, is supposed
to have lacked exceptional capacity
for government, yet he achieved con-
troll of Freiburg and Monaco and
was known, from his activities in
the eastern Mediterranean, as King
Of Cyprus and Jerusalem.
Against such background of
steady aggrandizement, the more
modern ancestors of Victor En-
manuel naturally aspired to justify
their existence in terms of COM
mensurate success. Emmanuel Phili-
bert was one of the first generals
of the sixteenth century. He de-
feated the French at Saint Quentin
in 1857 and made his own country "a
prosperous and powerful monarchy
His son. Charles Emmanuel I. mo-
