Give your machine a good clean

kerosene oil on the working parts

kerosene cuts through the old oil

British, the Firms are right back
where they started
Diplomatic dispatches reveal that
Russia has now offered Finland
the following peace terms.
l. A border between the two
countries similar to that established
by the treaty of 1910. This was
after the Russo Finnish war, from
which Russia emerged victorious.
2. The Russians also demand
certain political changes in Fin
land particularly the establish
ment of a government friendly to
Russia. This would definitely ex-
clude both Mannerheim and Tan
ner.
American observers may make a
counter suggestion, modifying these
terms somewhat, to make them
more palatable to Finland
The suggestion is that two points
of vital Importance to the Firms,
which have been held by Russia
since the 1910 settlement, should be
returned to Finland.

Phiadelphias association of merchant tailors

Our heart goes out to Philadelphia vet not

be no friend OF such discrimination why then do
the Philadelphia tailors especially bewa the orphan

have ground to lease or donate to
others for the raising of Victory
Gardens this summer, asked to
register with the. Juneau Garden
Club" Mrs. Wellman Holbrook said
today, but, also all those who have
ground which they intend to util-
ize themselves
Such registration will be of bene-
fit to the gardeners themselves, Mrs.
Holbrook stressed, since it is
planned that the University of AL
aska Extension Division will fur
nish helpful directive bulletins to
all those registering.
In addition the Federal govern
ment has asked that the survey be
made of all available garden plots
in every state and territory for the
purpose Of determining the appro-
ximate yield to be expected from
1943 Victory Gardens. and to en-
sure that every available bit Of
ground be put to use.

WISE PRECAUTION

Although many of the physical standards origi-
nally established have been lowered the UNITED
States Army still rather cautious about the men
tai health Of the it inducts. This is in line with
desire to reduce if possible the high proportion of
shell Shock and similar of mental Interpretation
which resulted from Army service in World War l.
Such cases cost the American a pretty penny
in disqualification costs pensions disability payments
and other expenses arising from service connected
mental or nervous breakdowns. Much of this ex-
pense might have been saved had the inductees of
the first World War been passed through screen
ing examination by qualified psychatrists But viz
tnally attention was paid back in 1917 and 1918
TO the mental and nervous stamina of the men ac-
copied for Army service.
The Army is not making this mistake again
Each of the United States Army Examining and In
Quoting Boards includes at least one Army officer
who is competent psychiatrst with several civilian
assistants. 1t is their job to Gull from the line of
nductees and recruits those men not sufficiently
stable in their mental and nervous makeup to with
stand the strains and stresses which the average
soldier must be expected to undergo. This class
by no consists only of men who are crazy"
or near-crazy. In greater part it is composed of
men who are quite stable enough in their nervous
and mental temperament for most civilian callings
but who are not as the saying goes, cut out for
the life of a soldier.
Some men who rejected on this supposition
might it is true, be among the best soldiers of the
nation. But for each such there would be

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
Tuesday, March 8

Benefic aspects strongly domin-
ate today. The early hours are IA
vorable to executives in civil and
military affairs 1t is an suspicious
date for signing contracts or agree
ments of any sort.
HEART AND HOME: Women
are under a most fortunate config-
uration which seems to presage
public recognition and honors for
many. 1t is lucky day for wives
and mothers who await letters from
those whom they love. Girls should
seek employment or promotions UNI
der this direction of the stars which
is also encouraging for love affairs.
Where romance is concerned the
seers warn that i'll omens attend
persons who do not adhere to long
established social laws. After the
war strong reactionary influences
will be prevalent and again mar
riage will be held as sacred in
stitution, although divorces will be
numerous.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Agricul-
ture is 10 focus even more atten-
ton .than usual, it is forecast
Shortage of manpower will be less
serious than in 1912, because Gov
eminent agencies will find means
of providing farm hands Food ra-
tioning will add interest in plans
for the season in which the United
States must provide great stores
of produce TO feed starving Euro
peans and Asiatics as we'll as the
millions of the nation. Again the
seers prophesy that in the future
great tracts of land will be cult
waited as in Russia.
NATIONAL ISSUES: While this
is the peoples war, so far as the
United States is concerned, there
will be evidence that a privileged
class has evolved, despite all efforts
to equalize sacrifice and service
Methods of evading obligations and
responsibilities will be discovered as
careful surveys are made, astrol-
ogers predict. Hoarding will take
on novel aspects. Black markets
will operate although it will be
impossible for them to flourish for
any length of time.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
China which has been harassed
through the Winter should benefit
in June when permanent aid is
indicated. The first of this year
should be most encouraging in war
effort, but political or diplomatic
negotiations may continue unsatis-
factory until midsummer. In the
Spring of 1914, when Jupiter will be
sextile to the radical Sun, the brave
nation will be rewarded for its long,
terrible struggle under almost in
superable obstacles
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of novel
experiences which include unusual
employment. Love affairs will pros

Here is the lowdown on the visit
of Frances special representative,
ex-Spanish Foreign Minister Beig-
beder, to this country
frances regular representative,
Ambassador Juan Cardenas, has
been sending him what he wanted
TO hear, rather than the truth
about the way the American peo-
pie have put their hearts into the
war. Cardenas had emphasized the
clash of personalities and ineffici-
ency Of war production which get
into the headlines but is not the
general rule.
When U. S. officials learned Of
this. they conceived the idea of
bringing a special Franco envoy to

Actually it was the War Depart
ment, not the State Department,
which Matched the inspiration and
which is taking him on a tour of

NOTE: Many high-up officials
here believe Franco is an oppor-
