JUNEAU CURATOR IS
 AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK

Edward L. Keithahn, Curator of the Alaska Historical Library and Museum, is the author of "Igloo Tales" an interesting group Of Eskimo folklore tales recently pub lished by the Haskell Institute.
 Keithahn gathered the material for his book during several years spent at Shishmaref, Alaska, as a teacher, and it is to the Native school children at that village that he has dedicated the volume.
 Charming in their simplicity, the narratives reveal the superstitions and beliefs of the Eskimo'S life, and explain, to his satisfaction, the reasons for many things-from the round face of the native to the birth of the polar bear
 Illustrating each story is a clever and unusual sketch by George an Eskimo artist who, through lack of paper, has done most of his drawings on bleached reindeer hide, sealskin or plyWood. Now famous, the illustrations which MT. Ahgupuk prepared for the volume, constitute a valuable col lectionS of his works

 The two women started last Fri day for the Kletzing cabin on the beach. about five miles south of Douglas on Douglas Island.
 Half way down the trail, Mrs. Abraham slipped and sustained a broken left arm, just above the elbow. The two women started Doug lasward again, but Mrs. Abraham became exhausted and as night was falling, they decided to hole up for the night.
 Strange to say, as they looked around they spied cabin, the Crop ley cabin, owned by Ed Murphy. They were made doubly glad when the found the cabin well stocked with provisions and plenty of fire wood. They made themselves con- fortable for the night and Saturday morning began preparations to hike for Juneau.
 Jake Manning and sister were sighted close to shore in their boat, and signalled, Manning steered to shore and found the predicament the women were in. He immediately brought them to Juneau.
 Mrs. Abraham was taken to St. Ann's Hospital where her arm was soon placed in splinters and she is getting along nicely.
 But, both women are loud in a plea for cabins on trails, well stock ed, as it is never known when they will come in handy in just such cases as reported

FIRST TOUGH OF
 WINTER I5 FELT

Wham! And she struck here with a wild smash. By "she" is meant the first touch of winter.
 Mixed snow and rain began to fall shortly before o'clock in Juneau Saturday night, rendering walks slippery and causing taxi drivers to put on chains to reduce the traffic. hazard on slippery, slush-covered streets.
 Sunday morning dawned cloudy with the storm still continuing and about two and one-half inches of slushy snow covering the streets. Kids, out with their sleds, found that the runners went through the soft snow on the streets and took to the sidewalks where sliding was better. Light, rain-soaked snow continued to fall intermtttently during the day and as evening came temperatures dropped and the slush began freezing on the streets. About midnight sidewalks were frozen over and this morning found streets and sidewalks alike covered with ice. City trucks, how ever, improved the icy condition somewhat by being out early ap- plying sand to the slippery side walks and the sleeper pitches in the streets.
 Several pedestrians were seen to do a fancy slide that ended with a bump, but up to noon, no serious casualties had been re- ported
 Several minor auto accidents were reported Saturday night re- sulting in nothing more serious than dented lenders and broken headlamps. Private cars generally were left at home in the garage when 1t became apparent that driving would be hazardous.

Italian Party Paper
Hits Bureaucracy
OF Allied Armies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME. July 26.--The Allied
armies drag behind them an "ele-
phantine hureaucracys"- the Action
party newspaper 1taliK Liberia said
today in an article criticizing both
Italians and their liberators.
The article, entitled "The Allies
In Italy" said there was:
"A futile waste of means and en-
ergy. A show Of infallibility
where presumptious ignorance, In
geniousness and fatuousness are evi-
dent. Contradictions in the
acts Of authorities whose powers are
not precise and are contrasting.
Turning to the Italians, the news
paper said, I'VE are forced to note
much servility contrasting with
often unnecessary pride. vicious
tendency to trickery and imbroglio
49, divisions and jealousies . an
excess Of beggars not always for
poverty. but also for ignoble specu-
lation superflciality of tudg-
ment and responsibility in giving
pledges"
The newspaper said the Allies
considered modern comfort as the
supreme good" and sought luxury,
good food and entertainment. 1t
added that the Allies also sought out
parties given by the aristocracy
where German lovers and spies of
yesterday are not missing
Allied armies were declared
marked by: AN excess of requisi-
tions often unnecessary, an excess
of public drunkenness with minor
incidents too much money in
the hands of too many people, which
results in new grave turmoil in the
already tormented unbalance be-
tween wages and prices - an
abuse fortunately infrequent of the
system which Prime Minister
Churchill defines as the club and
the carrot ends with regard to the
Italian ass"
The newspaper said, however. that
never perhaps in the history of war
was a people ever treated with
greater trust and with greater
understanding by authorities and
by occupying troops.
THE Allies are waging a war
which is to our advantage and they
are winning It," it said. The final
result will render very small
and unnoticeable the inconvencies
of today"

position that the Federal form, COW
