City Council Enjoys Day
 Of Silence

Paving of Wrangelps main street got as far as ordering the purchas- ing of concrete mixer at $350 last night when the City Council met in regular session What was to be put in the mixer was still mooted question when the Council adjourned as the Council members went into a long period of silence when Mayor F. G. Hanford asked for a motion supporting the recom- mendation of the street committee that the street be paved. There was hint that somebody had thrown the well known monkey wrench. Who or how wasn't revealed, the Mayor reported today, but obviously the Councilmen were not too con cerned with the dust and mud which harasses the business houses of Wrangell in their respective sea sons.
 IL was suggested. as the Mayor leaned back in his chair and asked for a motion, that some pieces of sidewalk had not yet been installed along Front street Then there was silence The Mayor tried again, in dicating the street committee might sponsor the plan it had drawn up. The silence continued The City fathers appeared to enjoy just sit ting in the pleasant old council chambers. After all, the town had been getting along with a dusty summer, muddy winter main street hadn't it? There wasn't any grass growing in the street, or was there
 Members of the street committee are Councilmen w. L. Eastaugh, J. Oar Smith and Charles Moore. 9th CT members of the Mayors great silent Council are Mrs. Frank Barnes, c. Don Miller and B. R. Sharnbroich.
 In line with wage boosts general ly the Council broke silence to up regular city salaries on the average of about S25 per month. It stayed on the air long enough to pass a resolution fixing salaries as follows:
 James Lovett, Chief of Police and Harbormaster, $2OO per month Fred Cunningham, Fire Chief, $10;. Joe Weaver, Street Commissioner, S26O; Dr. John H. Clements, City Health Officer, $25; Mrs. YaIborg Coulter, Librarian, $50; L. B. Chis- holm, City Clerk, $29O; Ralph De- yenny, first operator, Light Plant, $325; Julius Mason, second operat- or, $25O; Fritz Angerman, third op- orator, $225; clerk hire, 75 cents per hour and truck drivers and common labor, $1 per hour. No scale was set for skilled labor.
 A sidewalk on lower Front street from below The Sentinel to Grants Grocery corner won some comment; no action. The Red Men lodge was ordered to put another fire escape in it's upstairs quarters. City Clerk Chisholm read the bills, which were passed, in muffled voices and the great silent session of the Wrangell's new City Council had concluded.

LOCAL RATIONING BOARD APPEALS TO TIRE USERS
 TO CONSERVE RUBBER

The local OPA and Rationlng Board this week is making appeal tc car drivers in the community to conserve rubber, and are explaining their policy in issueing tire certifi- cates for delivery trucks. The state ment from the Board follows;
 Tire shortages are still acute, and consumers are asked to do their bit in helping to conserve rubber. Private trucks which are used to deliver commodities to individual consumers are not eligible for ra- toned tires. Now, with the fishing season approaching, it is felt that real hardship will be experienced by the fishermen if they are not able to have their groceries and supplies delivered to their boats when they come in from the fish ing grounds. In order to help this war essential industry, the local Board will issue certificates when available to merchant trucks mak- ing wholesale deliveries to the fishing fleet. In order to be eligible foT these tires, merchants must promise not to increase their milage by making deliveries to individual consumers.
 Will you consumers help tyour local merchants by carrying your own parcels and planning your so there will be a mini. mum of demand for delivery of heavy items? Surely, if people in the States can carry their own we in Wrangell, where distances are not so great, can do our bit to help the rubber supply for the essential demands of the war"

RELOCATION TO BE
 COMPULSORY, SAYS SAMS0l

KETCHI<AN-All of hal ibut to fish buyers within Alaskan ports will be compulsory. 1t was learned here from Y. J. Samson, area Co-ordinator of Fisheries with headquarters at Seattle. MT Samson arrived in Ketchikau from the north after receiving alloeation pro posals from buyers at Sitka and Ju- neau
 The formal government order which will make allocation compul- sory is now in the process of enact m6nt in Washington, D. C., Mr Samson said. He explained that the order is designed to maintain for the halibut industry its established way of doing business and to re move any incentive for black mar ket operations
 He particularly pointed ont that the allocation system will apply only within ports The government has no intention of telling fisher men at what port they must sell, he said, but will tell them what per centage of landings must go 10 specified buyers at each port.
 MT. Samson also emphasized that the compulsory allocation system will be for the duration only.

 Candidates
 Take Beating
Special to The sentinel)

JUNEAU-Virtually complete re- turns from the First Division, with more than half from the Second and Third and scattering returns from the Fourth Division clearly indicate that E. L. Bartlett swept the Ter ritory for the Democratic nomina- ton for Delegate to Congress, car rying all divisions, the Second and Third probably with a clear major ity oyer both his opponents.
 Bartlett carried Juneau, skag- way. Wrangen. Petersburg, Anchor age. Fairbanks, Cordova, Valdez, Homer and Kodiak. Henry Roden carried Sitka, Haines and Nome. A.. Fl. Ziegler carried his home town of Ketchikan by a small majority and Metlakatla. In towns carried by Roden or Ziegler Bartlett was sec ond. The verdict was accepted here as an endorsement of the policies of Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and the administration of Gov. Ernest Gruening
 Opposition candidates who raised the anti-Govanor isuse and cam paigned vigorously on it were over whelmingly defeated. In the First Division, James V. Davis, four terms in the House and Speaker last ses- sion who was conspiciOusly anti Governor and anti administration throughout and campaigned on his record, is lowest of four candidates in the Senate race. N. R. Doe Walker of Ketchikan, vigorous sup porter of the Governors program, is leading with the greatest major ity in his long political career.
 Second place in the Senatorial contest is between Joe Green and Crystal Snow Jenne, and with few returns yet to come in it appear the contest is going to Mrs. Jenne, also strong supporter of the Gov ernor's policies and who will be the first woman ever elected to the Territorial Senate.
 Tn the Third Division, Harvey Smith, veteran of three terms in the House and bitter opponent of the Governors policies and who led the fight against endorsement of the President and Delegate Dimond, is coming out poor third in the Senate race for which two were to be chosen. Thirty-tWo precincts give Ed Coffey, seeking reelection, 916; former Senator c. Don Brownell 785 and Smith 522 Clyde Spears, Dillingham; school teacher and a new entrant in politics, is pressing Smith hard for third place with 475 votes Spears may nose out Smith when the vote is recorded from Bristol Bay area and lower half of the Alaska Peninsula.
 Karl Drager, former -Ketchikan policeman and eX-city magistrate of Anchorage, was showed under by Ralph Rivers of Fairbanks, 10 years district attorney in the Fourth and first time-candidate for elective office. Returns at the Secretary of 1 Alaskas office yesterday show ap- proXimately three to one victory for Rivers. Drager vigorously cam 1 paigned on the anti-Governor issue |

to identify this foe of the apple tree.
In April, the adults appear from
their cloisters. For three long years,
they have been very busy, though
hidden from sight. When the robust
beetle makes its way out into the
world, it leaves a round hole about
the size of lead pencil in the bark
of the tree. This wound is a place
that spores may drift into and an
other foe begins its cruel work on
the defenseless tree.
After drying their wings, mates
are sought. The mothers then go
about seeking a fine crevice into
which they may lay their eggs in the
bark of either the same apple tree
or one close by.
In a short time, the eggs hatch
into cylindrical borers which ape
born with the knowledge of how to
proceed. They bore into the cam
blum layer and deeper wood. For
three years they live on the wood of
their host, finally turning about to
make their debut.
While this borer pays almost all
its attention to the apple tree, it has
been known to flourish on ounce
trees. There are two more species
which resemble this one One pre-
fers the hickory tree tribe, the other
the Virginia creeper.
Sealing the culprits in is one way

same forms. They will get larger
as the fingers grow, but they will
have the same curves, points and
bends.
Take the fingerprints of a thou
sand babies today, and so years
from now an expert will be able to
search through them and quickly
tell which of them were made by a
man or woman who was among the
thousand babies!
That is part of the science Of
fingerprints. In all the world there
is no other way to prove persons
identity" so surely. Bank clerks
are clever in being able to tell
whether or not a signature on q
check is genuine, but they some
times are fooled. No fingerprint,
however, can be forged.
1t is possible that an inocent per-
son may leave fingerprint at the
scene of a crime. That has been
known to happen, but it is another
matter. The fingerprint expert
works out proof that person was
at place where crime was carried
out. Then it is the duty Of judge.
jury and lawyers to take up the
question of why he was there.
The important fact is that we
carry our ridges from the cradle
to the grave. Only by losing our
fingers, or part of them, can we lose
our power to prove who we are.
Now and then we read of babies
being exchanged" at hospitals. Our
mother is given baby which she
says belongs to some one else, and
she wants her own baby. Two
babies may look very much alike,
and it may be hard for the most
sharp-eyed doctors and nurses to be
sure which baby belongs to which
mother.
When such an exchange takes
place, it is very sad thing. Even
If it is only suspected, and has not
really happened, 1t makes the par
ents worry.
Because OF that danger, the di-
rectors of every good hospital take
the greatest care with babies. A
name tape is placed on each baby,
usually on the back, and tag may
be fastened to the wrist. The most
careful hospitals also make finger
print or footprint records of the in
FAINT. The footprint shows ridges
very much like those of finger
prints, and will supply a guarantee
of the baby's identity.

ROUND HEADED APPLE BORER.
(Saperda candida.
Appletree borers may affect the
price of the fruit by remote con-
troll. Not that they do so con-
sciously. Their activities in the
cambium layer Of the tree trunk, or
roots, may be so great as to prevent
the flow Of sap. Naturally, the fruit
will not be so abundant, and 1t may
be smaller or deformed.
AS individuals, we cannot do any
thing about this situation. 1t is
the orchardist who must bear the
burden. Usually, the borers have
been so busy that much damage has
been accomplished before their
tell-tale "saw-dust" piles give them
away.
Borers are the larvae OF several
insects, especially of certain moths
or beetles. They often do great
damage to fruit and shade trees.
The borers in this group are the off
spring of handsome striped beetles.
The parents are quite portly. They
have wide stripes on the elytra and
two pairs of dots on top of the
golden pronotum. The antennae are
long and waving. The fat face and
prominent eyes make it quite easy
