Grow Up Before War Ends

s'ervicemen new idea Of how
coura geous, efficient and really
adult women can be.
And the soldier who has seen a
nurse caring for the wounded
while her own life is in danger
isn't likely to think too highly Of
the girl who runs out On trouble.

Nor would a man-after know

their country wanted to send them
have much sympathy for the
girl who insists she has to live
in a certain city because that is
where her parents and friends
are.

of war will understand his wife's
saying. II never read any o:

The Recreation division of the
Council of Social Agencies, in a
regular meeting yesterday in the
City Council chamber, unanimous
ly approved the proposal of the
City Recreation department to re-
quest continuance of Lanham Act
funds. under which the department
is able to execute its broad rec.
reation program.
The present Lanham Act appro-
priation is for the year ending
June 30.
In approving the request, h e
members pointed out that the des-
ignation of this area. by the War
Manpower Commission, as crit
ical labor area, is an indication
that the influx of warworkers to
the city will continue.
Figures were also cited showing
that numbers Of returning service
men are now entering the COM
munity.
For these reasons, it was said to
be important that adequate rec
reation advantages be provided.

alton department were highly laud.

 Leipzig, Germany - Tentative plans of the Zeppelin Polar Ex- pedition to the heart of that vast sector lying between the North Pole in Alaska and Wrangell Is- land, with the U. s.

 Anthony Dimond, delegate to Congress, declared that it was the duty of the. United States to pro- vide adequate defenses for the Territory regardless of any ac- ton or lack of action at the Lon- don conference. The United States delegation warned the Japanese that if they scrap the Washington Treaty of 1929, this country would be forced to for tify it's possessions in the Paci- fic. Delegate Dimond said it was folly for America to continue to permit Alaska to lie defenseless, as it has done in the past.

THE RAGING
 FUEHRER

Gerhnan army officers, still compelled to play a grim delaying game along the receding front in Italy, have received very. special instruction from the Nazi political bureau.
 1, They are ordered to counteract the rumor cir Iculating among their forces that der fuehrer occasion all goes mad with rage, and when in that state tears down curtains and bites holes in carpets as he rolls in eonvulsions on the floor.
 The political education bureau stops short of posi- tive denial that der fuehrer gets that way now and then, but plaintively sug- gests that many a man would have gone under long ago if exposed to the disappointrnents and grief der fuehrer must bear.
 Ever since Hitler emerg- from ,obscurity, the world has been hearing rumors of his strange behavior. Judged openly by the harm he has done, it may be ta- ken for granted that his personal conduct always has been other than nor nal. Only an incurable madman, a muderous ma- niac, could have wrought so much evil.
 It will be just as well for Hitler'S side kicks to let Hitler bite the carpets while he may. It won't be long now until he bites the dust.-(Seattle Times).

RACE QUESTION IN ALASKA

The Alaskan atmosphere has been remarkably clear of the jealousies and dis criminations that cloud other areas where men of different colors dwell side by side.
 Now comes the Interior Department, sponsoring a return of most of the terri tory to the Indians on the ground, that they have own ed it all along. It cannot be said this program is calcu- lated to lessen race bitter ness. On the contrary it may we'll fan the flames.
 As the white man resists the Indian claims, it will be a simple thing to say he is opposing the Indian. As a matter of fact, all that The Chronicle has said, and all that most others have said against this proposi- ton, is directed at the In- terior Department-not at the Indians.
 The white Alaskan who has lived in harmony among the Indians is anx- ious to see justice done. If the Indian is entitled to something, he should get it. But it hardly seems possi- ble that all the resources developed by the white man alone, or with the help of the Indian, should be turned over to the Indians simply because those re-

 The rivers, which help to produce much of the wa ter and some of the conso nants, not to mention dou ble vowels, also are respon- sible for much of the con- fusion. One of these, which in France has been the Mouse, becomes the Maas,
 under Dutch treatment, and we are not to mistake them for two separate streams. And the Rhine, which flows sedately be- tween firm banks all through its course in Ger many, goes all to pieces when it crosses the Dutch border and traverses the lowlands in half a dozen directions.
 Maps have so many lines that it is sometimes diff cult to follow all these aqueous gyrations. But the main body of the Rhine in Holland flows off to the west, toward the North Sea, and is not called the Rhine at all, but the Waal, which eventually receives the waters of the Maas. The Rhine continues on, though the Dutch call it the Rijn, and part of it splits off again to empty into the Builder Zee, and here it is called the Yssel. When we have mastered that fact, we must not be astonished to find Yssel .l.La Il. .N..a ..N..N .t.
