DR.. John Elvin not only builds his
leisure hours around his bulldogs.
but arranges his Office furnishings
and equipment for their conven-
lence. His Elvinars Vivianna seemed
subject to an inexplicable lameness.
Much observation and cogitation
led him to believe that Viyianna
was injuring her leg against a heavy
and expensive piece of surgical
equipment as she lodged madly
through the door near which it
stood. To move that piece out of
her way he had to rearrange al
most every bit of furniture and
equipment in the place. Now Viyi-
anna can dash in safety.
Three puppies fro none litter of
DR.. Elvin's breeding pretty nearly
covered the country. One went to
California, one to Oklahoma and
the third to Louisiana.

 The War Production Board has granted this appeal for limited maintenance privileges in two of the states leading gold mines un- der conditions which will not in- terfere with military or essential war and civilian production, the committee pointed out.
 It was stressed in the WIPE agreement with the mine opera tors that the grant applies to special cases which indicate the need for assistance to prevent further damage to properties of proven production and economic value to the region.
 Manpower and critical equip- ment or materials are being made available to the two mines under joint WIPE and WING War Man power Commission agreement.

 l Direct surveys of the major cen tral California gold mining oper- ations were made recently by J. Reed Lane, WIPE Deputy Direc- tor for Mine Production, from Denver, Colorado, and A G. Kea'ing, WIPE Regional Mining Representative, and reports of damages threatened by wartime restrictions on ore production and manpower were conveyed to Washington, D. G. for review. Through arrangements made with the San Francisco Chambers mining committee and representa- tves of the American Mining Congress, the WIPE officials made two-day inspection of the deep- ]evel gold mines from Grass Val ley to Jackson in the Mother Lode country.
 l Later surveys and testimony re- vealed that the two mines aided by WIPE action included over 400 miles of underground tunnels

WITHOUT GLAMOUR

An American private in an English village pub remarked to one of this news papers reporters, Drew Middleton, that they didn't like to hear war called fancy names" Other soldiers profanely agreed They just didn't care to be called spear head of democracy or to be lectured on 'honor' and glory" They intended to do what they had to do, which was to 'beat these Germans because it's gotta be done" They did not regard tn pros pect as romantic.
 The very fact that the subject could come up reveals the chasm between the soldiers and the civilian The civilian, and for reasons that seem good to him, is prone to us the words the soldier doesn't like. The civilian has sense of infer iority. Because of youth, age, bad eye sight, weak heart or an essential occu- patton he is not asked to fight The Army and Navy won't have him. So he has an easier time of it than the soldier He is not to blame but his conscience hurts him. Glorifying the soldiers and LII ooluIcl , JOD IldkSS lIlIl leel DelteT. But to the soldier he seems to be saying: Never mind the rain, mud, snow, dust, thirst, hunger, malaria, tedium and gen. eral discomfort; never mind the danger, the wounds, the pain; never mind the stink and horror-just fix your mind, you lucky devil, on the beautiful, glitter ing gneralities.'
 The soldier is not thinking of general ities. He is thinking of how to get through the next day, hour, minute, how to keep on going, how to do what he has to do without getting killed. His is dir ty, unhappy, dangerous work and, being human he doesn't like it. More honor to him-but there we go; he doesn't care for honor as word but only as an act In the long years to come he may acquire irrespective and realize that he and his dead comrades really were the spear head of democracy and that their con- duct was really honorable and glorious. But not now He is too close to the fact fNew York Times).

SHOULD I'll EESKIMO SUFFER BECAUSE OF ADMINISTRATION INEFFICENCY?

We note that in the President annual budget for Alaska, a few items which warrant consideration in recommended expenditures throughout the Territory.
 The Reindeer Service, with a recom- nended budget of expenditures totalllng very nearly S1,000,000, which is more than the value of all the reindeer in the Territory
 For medical relief and education of the Natives, recommended expenditure of S2,091, 700 as against $50,000 for public schools for the White children, which also includes the mixed Native White, md the full-blood Native, who show de- .ided aptitude for higher education.
 The figures seem to show that nearly hree-quarters of all expenses in the Ter itory are for the direct benefit of the Native of Alaska, whereas the taxes paid oy the Natives are comparatively small
 Much could be done with the amounts n question if sufficient percentage of he funds were to reach the ultimate goal, but as in tn past, too much is lost nd departments" in administration" the set-up of government "bureaus" accounts.

 It is sad state of affairs
 If but ten per cent of the amount re- :orded in the budget were allotted to a correction or industrial institution in the Territory, the child would still be with lis own pople but under supervision of ducators. The young man or woman nay receive basic training in trade or business, which he or she could follow later life

 There seems to be room for education, but none for correction, or in other words, the protection of the child who is unfortunate enough to have no "responsi- ble' parent or guardian to care for it dur ing the receptive period of his life, six to 16 years.
