GALAPAGOS, an island group in
the Pacific. The islands we're named
for the large tortoises found there.
Galapago is Spanish for tortoise"
All "a's" have the "ah" sound. The
last syllable has the long "o' sound
as in hoe, toe, followed by the sound
of double IS" Say: gah-LAH- pah-

RIO GRANDE, the river that

the Rio Grande river" Rio rhymes
with Leo. Grande has two syllables.
Say: Recon GRAIN day.
TUNISIA is the Anglicized form
OF the French name Tunisie. There
apparently is no sanction for the
radio pronunciations, "too-NEE-zee-

Gulfport Field: On a quiz program
the other night, the question was
asked, From what is the word
NEWS derived?" The answer given
by the quiz-master as correct was,
1.-THE word is derived from the
initials of North, East, West, South"
Is this not just popularity accepted
coincidence?-2nd 1t. D. W. D.
Answer: News is a singular noun
formed from the adjective new"
The 81 was influenced by the
French plural for news: nouvelles,
which word comes from the Latin
novellus, new, young"

SOuCn was up against IL 1Or per-
feet rebid. His actual three-spade
call was aggressive on such weak
suit, but mere two-spade rebid
would not have done justice to his
AZ high card tricks. North might
well have let the contract rest at
three spades, since he certainly had
given his all with the one no-trump.
West opened the diamond king.
The ace won and the trump jack
was Immediately played through
East. Probably reciting to himself
the mumbo-jumbo, always cover
an honor" East covered the jack
and after that he and his partner
might as we'll have given up. De-
clarer smothered East's queen. with
the ace and returned a low spade.
West won and led diamonds twice
Declarer ruffed the fifth trick, led
trump to the nine and sent the
heart jack through East. This time
it didn't matter what East did, for
declarer was Gin" He could lose
only one diamond, one club and one
trump.
If East had not been so accom-
modating about covering the spade
jack, declarer's position would, of
course, have been hopeless, since
he never could have entered
dummy for second fnesse in
trumps or hearts.

Prohibition Then and Now
Cincinnati Enauirerp

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Judging by one of it's latest publicity releases, that very well meaning but very illogical organiza- tion the National Women's Christian Temperance Union is finding some grim delight in recent whisky fraud cases A WC.T.U. release. which quotes it's national President, declares that "bootegging will come out in the open and become national scan dal within year. result of the new increased Federal excise taxes
 Indeed says the statement, the result of the demand and the new taxes will be bootlegging far greater than anything during prohibition or any other time" It hastens to assert, quoting Mrs Ida B. Wise Smith, that ''it because everyone knew bootleg bottle during prohibition that boot logging seemed so prevalent.
 In other words the huge and awful bootleg busi- ness of the 192O's was merely mirage The thou sands of persons blinded and killed-the jake leg victims and all-were merely victims of fantasy. The corruption of public officials and entire govern ments merely state of mind The throttle hold that gangsterism was given upon our great cites-the Caponeism and the racketeering in all lines of trade that it begot-that too, apparently was something we just inferred from the sight of a bootleg bottle two of whisky Or so the WC.TU. ladies would have believe.
 Yes there will be some increase in illegal whisky traffic as result of the new Federal taxes and the shortage of supply. But any comparison with the noble experiment" is highly odious. This partial prohibition that circumstances may force upon the nation is not based upon the misconception that people will not indulge in alcohol if you tell them they mustn't drink.
 Those increased Federal whisky taxes are helping us fight the most expensive in the nations his tory They do not represent millions of dollars gush ing into the pockets of Al Capones and Legs Da- monds and Dutch Schutzes. They money in the Federal Treasury for planes and tanks and guns.
 Our great distilng properties have not been given to the dust and the rats. They have gone to war-and if they had not been rebuilt through the repeal of prohibition would now franticaliy be constructing facilities for the production of al coho one of the most important essentials of mod ern war.
 Yes, Mrs. Smith this is different kind of prohibition.

NEW BOSS

The appointment by the President of former Senator Prentiss M. Brown of Michigan as head of the OPA seems to have met with the general ap- proval of the public.
 Brown, who has just completed term of ser- vice in the Senate in high standing. is known to be a man who always has sought what might be called reasonable attitude toward the plain citizen.
 It is very doubtful that he can succeed where Leon Henderson failed, in making the OPA popular. We are ready to admit that the rationing of com- odities and the fixing of prices always will be unpopular measures It is doubtful, too, that Brown has any idea that he accomplish the job with out running into a large share of the headaches that his forerunner came up against
 Under popular administration, however, Brown can operate the OPA without spending much money He can reduce false reports and misleading regulations which have been issued and put into effect only to be superseded few days later with different regulation which requires another ad- tistment by consumers and retailers.
 Brown can abolish the budozing the public attitude that the OPA has reeked with in recent months Let the OPA officials assume that the American people both patriotic and intelligent, and act accordngly-dont try to and threaten.
 So far, the OPA has not been able to sell itself as being friend of both the retailer and the con- siIi1er whose job is to help civilians to meet the problems of war. Lack of simplicity has been one of the faults budozing the other.

FDR's SURPRISE

One thing that didn't get out about the surprise" party at the White House for Speaker Sam Ray burn, on Sam's 6Ist birthday, was a little frill added by the President.
 Rayburn was called to the White House with other Congressional leaders ostensibly to discuss the legislative program for the new ses- sion. But when the group arrived, all but Rayburn were ushered into the private office of Economic Stab- ilizer Jimmy Byrnes.
 The Speaker was told that the President wished to see him alone for a few minutes.
 The two men discussed legislative problems for a few minutes. Mean time, the President was keeping a sharp eye on the clock. Suddenly he broke out:
 Sam, the reason asked you to come in here alone was to discuss a personal matter that has been
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-01-25

Expense has probably been the major fault Most Americans may be quick to recognize that the office saving Americans more than it is cost ing them Few, however, will close their eyes to extravaganza evident in the administration
 Quite apart from the better relations with the public, Browns appointment ought to be useful in smoothing over relations with Congress. Congress sonal criticism pushed by constituents has been more severe toward the OPA than toward any other government agency, not excepting the War Produc- tion Board and the War Labor Board

worrying me-"
 Rayburn eyed him curiously, said nothing.
 Its about you, Sam," continued the President without batting an eyelash. Were old friends and feel I can talk to you frankly. I've got reports from Capitol Hill that the Democrats are dissatisfied with your leadership. They think you're getting too old to be Speaker"
 At that precise moment, Demo- cratic Congressman Cliff Woodrum of Virginia, Bob Ramspeck of Geor- gia, Republican Leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts, Representative Jim Wadsworth of New York and other House members burst into the Presidents office, led by Jimmy Byrnes.
 Together they began singing Happy Birthday to You at the top of their voices.
 That was perfect timing, fel- lows," beamed the President. He had planned it all very carefully himself.

HOROSCOPE "The stors incline
 bat do nOt c0napeW
Tuesday, January 26

Jupiter rules strongly today which should be fortunate for many human interests. It is favorable date for starting new projects, but not suspicious for new Government edicts rationing sales of food.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this ccnfiguration people may be an- xious and restive as the new year brings them realization of what war actually means. There is an i'll omen which may color news from battle fronts. Heavy casualties will be suffered by the United Nations as the most heroic deed in history are performed by defenders of lib- erty. Nations will be affected by war service in tanks and airplanes, in excessive heat and severe cold, but Americans will prove to be among the hardest soldiers and sailors.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The stock market will fluctuate sharply with little interest in short-selling. Slight buoyancy followed by declines may be expected. Investors and traders may be apathetic even though war bulletins are reassuring. By the av- craze man and woman Government bond buying will be steady, but the Secretary of the Treasury will an- nounce new plans for financing growing costs of war. Expenses for maintaining millions of men and vast quantities of war machinery, of operating two navies and trans porting mountains of supplies will be staggering this month end. NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Proper appointment of the man and wo- man power of the nation will ab- sorb attention in Washington where new appointees will mobilize talents and technical training for proper assignments. The eight-hour day will be consistently criticized and defended, but certain concessions are predicted as production needs extend. The stars are read as pre- saging, crises that will compel com plete concentration on the task of winning the war.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Foreign astrologers again warn that home guards should be tirelessly alert since overt aggression on the Pacific coast is indicated in certain expects. Fierce battles are forecast 1 for our Navy and air fighters. A secret weapon will contribute to the success of the United Nations. An- other offensive is presaged by Stal- in, whose armies will overcome the Nazis in close combat. Winter or deals will be even more frightful l for the Germans than those suf- fered last year
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of improved conditions, financially and socially. Men and women in military service will be promoted.
 Children born on this day should be fortunate all through their lives Artistic gifts and lovable characters are indicated for them.

WALL STREET RUNS CUBA

WALL STREET RUNS CUBA
 Real factor behind the Cuban Government, however, is the big sugar companies and their Wall Street packers. They not only brought pressure on President Ba- tista not to accept the State De- partment's generous compromise, but they are now waging a propa- ganda campaign against Secretary Hull.
 MT. Hull has just discovered that the sugar companies have raised a secret kitty of $1,000,000 to buy radio time and carry on news paper propaganda against the State Departments proposal, in order to force purchase of the next Cuban sugar crop. Already Cuban newspapers have started the cam paign.
 Secretary Hull, however, is stand ing pat. He believes that the New York financiers got enough profit out of the s6o, 900 900 to $80, ,0OO, 900 bonanza that came their way through Jesse Jones deal, and that Cuba. sooner or later must throw off it's Wall Street yoke.

startled the nation by warming that unless he got steel for the gigantic new synthetic rubber factories the nation would face a military cat astrophe and collapse of its trans portation system.
 Almost the same warning came six months before from the WASH INGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND. As early as July 13 Drew Pearson re- ported that mot even Roosevelt himself" knew of the "31 synthetic rubber plants contracted for by Jesse Jones with the Standard Oil of New Jersey group, not single plant is much beyond the blueprint stage and they will not be finished and working until around l944. These 31 big new rubber plants will require tons of steel,' Pearson reported, but would take around 18 to 20 months to build even in nor nal times when steel is easy to get"
 Pearsons warning came not only six months before Jeffers announced the same facts but two months be- fore the Baruch report, apparently not needing these facts, froze the Jones plan to build gigantic new rubber plants. Pearson also warned last July that the nation would get only a driblet of rubber if the Jones plan was continued, but predicted that rubber could be secured if small oil refineries were converted immediately and if the rubber pro gram was diversified among the alcohol and houdray processes.
