GARDEN HINTS ON FAv0RITE PLANTS
 ARE GIVEN PUBLIC

Juneau's gardening activities have now passed the talking over the fence stage and have settled down into a good routine of work to keep those favorite plants growing into strong maturity. Here are some hints given by the Juneau Garden Club committee on what needs to be done this week.
 Crocuses and daffodils are now becoming untidy looking because of the tall foliage. In order to straighten them without cutting the foliage, which injures the bulb it is suggested that the gardener take three strands of leaves and braid them, fastening them down in back of the plant This will not prevent the strength from the foil age from going to the bulb.
 Spittle aphids are now here. Be- for they become too profuse, the gardener should spray with any good commercial spray, following the advise given on the bottles. The best sprays are rotenone and pyre- thrum, but they are not always available because of the war short ages. The spIsy should not be useo just before a rain.

AIRWAYS COMMUNICATIONS

The Army Arways Communication System is a busy service. Concerned with technical problems in radio meteorology code interpretation and half dozen other special skis it has grown from handful of men before Pearl Harbor to more than 100000 officers and enlisted personnel stationed wherever the air lanes of combat fronts extend These men have performed feats which seem almost miraculous the Arctic they have been sent ahead of the sea ice to remote sites with structural steel and heterogeny of supplies, under instruction to erect radio station, and on schedule or ahead Of schedule have next been heard from when their code letters were added the network. The men them selves have not been civilization perhaps for more than a year. They have mprovsed effective ap- paraus from everything from glass bottles to the inner workings of pinball machines and they have shown remarkable ingenuity in overcoming the difficulties which beset radio extremes of climate and altitude
 It is this system which keeps the huge volume of war air traffic flying to and between our bases

The Cost of the Air War
tNew York Times

tNew York Times
 The recent joint statement of the British Air Ministry and the United States Strategic Air Forces on the approaching end of air resistance em phasized that the attained thus far has not been cheap How high the cost has really been has now been revealed by Sir Archibald Sinclair, the British Air Minister, who told the House of Commons recently that of the bombing fleets operating from Great Britain over Germany and northern France ll7 American and l04l British bombers have been lost during the first four months this year, This does not take into account the losses among the accompanying fighters does it include the losses of Allied fleets stationed elsewhere throughout the world But these figures show that in the first third of this year the American air fleets stationed in Great Britain lost in bombers alone 40 per cent of all the planes lost in all theatres of war during the whole of last year, and that the British bomber losses amount to nearly 45 per cent Of the total for last year. They also mean that some llOOO highly trained American and more than 1000 similarly trained British airmen have either killed taken prisoner
 That is the somber aspect of the price of glory. But these higher absolute losses are an inevitable consequence of the vastly expanded scope and in- tensity of the air war. They more encour- aging aspect when compared with the total number of planes engaged. For the rate of loss has been steadily declining From August 1922, when American air attacks Germany began, to February this year this rate stood for the American bomb- CTS at B. per cent; dropped to 22 per cent during February and in the latest air assaults it amounted for the combined American and British planes of all types to only four-tenths of per cent.
 What is decisive however is that these sacrifices are producing visible results. For the Brtish-based American air fleets alone destroyed no less than 4000 German fighter planes during the first four months this year and so crippled German aircraft production that the German fighter defense is no longer capable of sustained effort It rises only for sporadic battles under particularly favorable crcum- stances Now German anti-arcraft artillery fire is beginning slacken we'll for much of 1t had to be concentrated along the invasion coasts to meet the threatened Allied assault, and what is left IS not sufficient to protect vital targets within the greatly expanded of Allied operations Every diminution of Germanys air defense means that much smaller losses for the Allies.

Weeds which were neglected dur ing the furry of planting in annual beds should now be checked before their roots get in too deep Weeds in the lawn should be checked now before they get too large. A screw driver makes a good tool for getting the small weeds out if a weeder is not available.
 Excess foliage near the ground should be removed on perennials to permit free air circulation and assist in pest control. Tall pcren- nials such as delphinium and thal- lctnum should be staked and tied up well before they become broken or crooked. If the stems have al- ready become bent, tie loosely to a stake at first and gradually tighten as the light straightens the stem.
 Annuals which have been trans- planted outside and all perennials which have not been treated before should now have a good top dress Ing of a good commercial fertilizer Apply it in rings around the plant SUIT It into the ground so it won't blow away, but don't touch the plant.

SATURDAY. JUNE 3


 Adverse aspects are active today but there is a sign of good promise for industrial relations.

 NATIONAL ISSUES: Men han dicapped by war wounds will be re- stored to usefulness through the aid of science that performs modern miracles, and investment in physical therapy will pay big interests, as- trologers foretell.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Hitler. who has been under a tenn porarily protective sign which en- abled him to grab more territory, will drain his resources to the ut most this month. There may be changes in leadership among his generals which will hasten defeat. The German people will continue to be desperate supporters of Der Fuehrer
