DOG QUESTION E PUZZLE TO
 CITY COUNCIL
No Gather AvaiIdbIe-Po lice Department Too
 Busy to Handle II

The question of what do do with tramp dogs and cats which are per- mitted to run the streets at large and destroy private property, is a puzzle to City Councilmen.
 It seems that no one wants the thankless position of dog catcher and that the Police Department is too busy with other duties to give any protection to property owners in this matter.
 Representative from the Juneau Garden Club were present at last nights Council meeting to voice ob- jections to property owners having to put up with dogs and cats de- stroying Victory gardens, and en- tered a plea to the patriotic pa triotism' of dog and cat owners to keep their animals from run ming at large.
 Dog Catcher Wanted
 Mayor Harry I. Lucas stated that the Council would advertise for a dog catcher and that the leash law passed in 1887 would be enforced This states, in part, that the owner of any dog who allows the animal to run unleashed and at large would be subject to fine of S5O or 10 days in jail, or both.

Democratic Chairman Frank Walker did a little hatchet- -burying with his old friend Jim Farley in New York the other day.

 Weather Worse 10 Beat
 Than laps, Says Officer

SEATTLE, June 19.-Ihere are two kinds of warfare going on at the same time in Alaska's battle zone, according to Lieut.. Col A. c. Newkirk of the Army Engineers, who is in Seattle awaiting plane transportation back North.
 He came out" on an emergency leave to attend the funeral of his mother in Indianapolis after more than year with the utilities sec- ton of the Alaska Defense Com mand.
 Of the two battles, Colonel New kirk. who was in Alaska during the bombing of Dutch Harbor and the attack on Attu, is much more concerned with the battle waged against fog, cold and rain.
 Small Job
 For the engineers, the actual fighting isn't a drop in the bucket. When Dutch Harbor was bombed we had to repair it, but as our job goes that wasn't big. It was all handled locally with men already stationed there" Colonel Newkirk who spoke to Victory Square crowds yesterday, declared Right after the Attu attack we had to move in and start building a per manent base. But that isn't big job either.
 What we're up against is a big space. most of it blank Everything that white men need to sustain themselves has to be built. First we have to establish ourselves and then we have to bring in all the things that are necessary for living like power, lighting, housing and roads And it's a constant fight to see who is going to be dominant, the wea- ther or man"
 Morale High
 The morale of the Alaskan troops is high he said.
 Were working seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day There are no Sundays in Alaska But morale is fine, and I'm talk ing about the average man, Private John Doe. He is in constant battle against the elements of Alaska but he realizes that it is an area to be held at all costs he declared.

It's already proved that the

If they pan out, the Mickey Finn

that, Mickey Firms may avert a
serious shortage of Insecticides
that threatens vital food crops.
In peace time, rotenone and
pyrethrum are the one-two punch
for bugs that blandly ignore other
poisons. Most commercial insec-
ticides have a pyrethrum or rote-
none base. Both are derived from
foreign plants, and the war ship

plies.
Use Restricted
1t was necessary to restrict the
use of rotenone and pyrethrum
derivatives to certain essential
crops, such as beans. The. Army
needed the balance available for

are carriers of typhus and other
fatal illnesses, besides being de-
structive of morale. Every soldier
was furnished his personal pack

else is so good as rotenone and
