RED CROSS 'SINKERS' ENJOYED

HEADQUARTERS SIX T H CORPS, SOMEWHERE IN ITALY, Mar. 1.-The latest in modern doughnut design, instituted by German shells, had little effect on the relish with which a peep full of American Red Cross sink CTS was welcomed by an Ameri- can infantry unit in Italy.
 It was late in the afternoon when two American Red Cross field men arrived with their car load. Immediately the, shooting began, and self-preservation was the order of the day.
 Clamboring from their foxholes when the shooting was over, it was discovered that the dough nuts had been in the line of shrap- nel. Even with the new, un- regulation holes, the doughnuts were much enjoyed and there was no visible lessening of the GI ap- petite.

\ FEW STATISTICS

STATISTICS MAY BE INTERPRETED in many ways, depending upon he purpose for which they are gathered. Here few figures which you may decipher as you choose:
 Despite slight increases in the cost of living, the buying of bonds the withholding of taxes, etc, during the third quarter of l943 and in crease in pocket money, and checking accounts amounted to s1 s120O,0OO00O This raised the total of checking accounts, and the currency in individ- uals hands alltime high of S27 200, 900 000, an increase of about sl7,0O0 100000 since Pearl Earbor.
 Why not put these "hoarded" funds into bonds, instead of just leaving them idle? Put the money to work for war, that you may have more for peace. Don't be an ostrich. Look the facts in the face Do il now

and cause considerable delay in valuable time lost in the enlargement of our Alaska Communications System and their housing problems.
 The area in question is northeast of our pres mt populated limits and which there are no improvements other than those built by the gov ernment
 The only reason for consideration of the mat ter at the present time is that the streets and al leys are still deemed city property in the which has been deeded for the use of the United States Signal Corps, and the streets and alleys do not at present coincide with the plans laid out for the improvements of the federal owned section
 It is the hope of the City Council also that the voters be cognizant of the necessity that they vote the ordinance in order that such streets and alleys which lie within the limits of the fed eral property, be vacated.
 The government plans call for redistribution If streets and alleys in the area and must therefore use the entire to facilitate the project

LITERARY CUIDEPOST
THE PROMISE" by Pearl S
 Buck John Day: S2.50l.

Buck John Day; S2.50).
 One of Pearl s. Bucks func- tions in the literary world has been 10 simplify things. She has developed style of her own, based on remarkably ruthless elifnination of detail she consid- CTS non essential, and she has la ken this system on into. the realm of ideas. And with equal ruth lessness.
 The underlying idea of The Promise" her latest novel, is simL ply that the Orient can't trust the British. It is an idea that could not be called pretty, these days, but she sticks to it through out the book. Occasionally she is willing 10 grant the British sim cerity and honor according to their code, but she constantly re- iterates the major thesis that their code is untrustworthy. And not very subtly she attempts to show this by having them blow up Burmese bridge after their forces have crossed, but before their Chinese allies can follow them. She does not even advance a stra- tegic reason for the dynamiting, but instead makes it seem that cowardice and a huge contempt for the dark skins of the Chinese were the reasons.
 This seems more like libel than fiction 10 me. For the story of Cheng and Mayli, and their oddly expressed love, is founded on an equally ruthless simplification. It is that China is fundamentally suffering but all good Mrs. Bucks Chinese are fighting for free don," and she does not explain what this freedom may have been like in the past. Her fictional yer sion of Chiang is simple, noble idea-at no time does she suggest the devious Gf perhaps unavoid- able) route by which he reached power.
 The story of The Promise" is simply that Cheng, a self-made Chinese officer, and the American trained Mayli go to the Burmese campaign by different routes.

stated in answer 70 a request
from Michigan Public Service
Commission tor a forecast OF
company : excess profits TAX
liability for the year This would
compare with Sl3,525.sl2 earned
for 1913 and Sl2,521,464 reported

Brown qualified his estimate

cast made under present condl-
tons and at this time OF Year

OF many conjectureS.
"Our fixed capital at the start

the commission. "Our estimated
net return for 1914 Is under SO
per cent on that fixed capital.
"Our estimates assume so

"Your notice also asked that
