L L a man who is overseas
influence his wife here at
homer" demands Anna Sawyer
of Seattle. II am %, have been
married six years and have two
little boys" her letter goes on.
'My husband has now been
away for almost two years. We
had been making payments on
a house when he went away, but
it was not a house had ever es-
pecially liked. 1t is too large for
us, and stands on too small a
lot; it has never seemed home
like to me. Tod's father found
it for us and made the first pay
ment.
ABOUT eight months ago I had
good offer for it, and I sold it, begin
ming again to make payments on a
far more attractive one-story house,
which was not too much for me to
manage. am nurse, and do
part-time duty in the hospital. My
boys, four and three, are in school
from nine to four. For this l pay
$40 month; they love their school,
are safe and happy, and it is
chance for me to do my bit of war
work.
Last month was offered a hand
some rent for my house, which I de-
cided to take, moving in with my
stepmother, who is also, incident
ally, my husbands aunt. We met
in her house. Tod loves his aunt,
and is glad we are friends, but he
writes me angrily that he thinks I
made terrible mistake combining
households. He says it never
works, with two women. He doesn't
want the boys to be in that expen-
sive school, he resents my selling
the house, says he has no interest
at all in the new house, and that as
he feels now he'd just as soon not
come home; wife working instead
of caring for her children, home
sold, and family moved in with his
aunt.
Directions for Afar.
"Now what want to ask you," the
letter goes on, sis just how much
right man has to send directions
home from the war zones. Aren't
we wives entitled to use our own
judgment and live in our own way,
while the men are gone? Wouldn't
it be ridiculous for Auntie and me
to write him obediently that be-
cause he disapproved we had
changed all our plans? We love each
other; she is widow of 38, has a
boy of Is. teaches school, and loves
me and my children. Her home
is comfortable and spacious, with
plenty of playroom and garden.
"a letter received from my hus-
band today ends with this remark;
please write me at once that you
have abandoned all idea of COM
bining households with Auntie, have
given up your nursing and taken
the boys out of that expensive school.
Otherwise will feel very differently
about this war that we are sup
posedly fighting to protect the homes
we left behind u.s. What shall
write in answer"
My answer, Anna, is that Tod is
taking a most unfortunate and I'M
justifable position. In plain words,
it's none of his business what you
decide to do while he is away. Men
are totally incapable of visualizing

centive plan is to reward the per- who just aren't interested in age amount of work, and at the same time tempt the indifferent worker to hustle up a bit. Those who just aren't interested in getting ahead by hard work can, under this plan, stay right where they are. It would be a rather ex- posed place to stay, of course. The draft?
 In the Main Yard, at least, the principal excuse among the weld CTS for not Joining the AFofL has always been-1ets see them do something for the welders first. We'll, fellows, here is something they are trying to do for us, and will be able to do if we all get back of them, and you know what that means. It means JOIN. My self, I firmly believe that nine out of ten of my fellow welders would benefit under this plan, and bene- fit far In excess of $500 a month.
 This incentive plan could be a fine thing for the Company, too, that is if they are at all interested in efficiency. They have pointed out recently that only about 10% of the time put in by the produc- tion welders is actual arc time, this being the average for the entire Nelseco set-up. Looks like lot of time going to waste somewhere. Such an incentive plan would wake up a lot of these three pounds day boys and girls and they would at last earn their pay. Such a plan, honestly operated on a permanent basis, would certain ly result in a far greater propor- ton of real workers here. The savings on this point alone would more than make up the money paid out in bonus. Last, but not least, 1t would permanently re- move that "weaned on a sour pickle" look that so many of us welders have been wearing, espe-

cially during the past year or SO. The best welders would be glad to stay here, and there would be far less trouble all around.
 Back at the start of this longS winded piece, threatened to write about a couple of other things concerning welders. First of all, about blowers and ventilation. Tse management has been very coop- erative with the welders on this point, it seems to me. There are delays, in getting a blower, of course, but the blower man can't be in two places at once, and blowe CTS and pipes are often left in tanks where no one can find them. Those blowers get knocked around a lot, too, and so can't be in good repair all the time. Personally, I think we get pretty good service.
 In spite of lot of hollering about the importance of reducing accidents and removing their causes, and in spite of an actual 1cUuCLIOu HI tIlS dNC1OCA4L IdtCt
 things look just about the same around the main yard ways to me. I can still fall into those monkey cages" that lay around under the boats a month or six weeks be- fore 1t is time to install them over the flood valves. And can still stub a corny toe or turn an ankle on a bunch of lead bars laying in the pathways, just as they were dumped there by the crane. It would pay the Company to have these tons of lead bars stacked up neatly, where they wouldn't get frozen in or covered with snow, I'd still give first prize to Let's clean up the mess under the boats" as a slogan in a safety drive con- test. These and many other need less danger spots are still right there causing accidents every day.

"SIGN OF THE GROSS" SHOWS
 10TH CENTURY

Casting The Sign of the Cross was a headache that Cecil B. De- Mile wouldn't want wished on any one else. The producer director of Paramount's great spectacle was confronted with all kinds of prob- lens due to the strange characters needed to portray important roles in the film.
 In the modernized production, at the goth Century TheaVe for the last times tonight, strange assort- msnt of animals, dwarfs and Anna zons are seen on the screen. DeMille, after trying through every recogniz- cd channel to locate the kind of women needed, inserted an ad in the newspapers. The Amazon type of women tangle with dwarfs in one of the most spectacular scenes. The dwarfs are armed with javelins and flaming torches, while the Amazon women defend themselves only with swords. It is part of the gigantic bloody circus staged by Nero to mol lify the Roman rabble following the fire which destroyed the city.

SOUND INTEREST

 UP IN SOUTHLAND
Dr. AIbreeht Also Says We Must Boost Quickly
 for Big Hospital

Sound, realistic interest in Alas ka's problems is now evident in the States, Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, Com missioner of Health, Territorial De- partment, told members of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce at their regular meeting today in the Baranof Gold Room.
 Speaking on the impressions, ex- periences, and accomplishments re- sulting from his recent 30-day trip to the West and East coast, Dr. AL brecht said never before had he mo- ticed such intelligent interest in Alaska.
 People in the states have been reading about the Territory, hear ing about it from returning service men, and thinking about it in a practical, sound manner the Com missioner said.
 Asking that the Chamber take definite action in advocating and supporting legislative activity for a 200-bed sanitorium to be erected in Southeast Alaska, Dr. Albrecht said Now is the time for action. We should unite and push this idea forward now. If we delay the head of steam built up may lose its pressure"
 The Commissioner said he was greatly impressed by the evidence of interest and proffered assistance to- ward Alaska's health by authorities of the agencies with whom he con- ferred, and feels that definite im- petus in the improvement of health conditions in the Territory is im- minent.
 During his trip, Dr. Albrecht met with health officials of the Chil- dren's Bureau and the Public Health Services in the Capitol and with administrative heads of the Ameri- can Public Health Association and the National Tuberculosis Associa- ton in New York City.
 Following the guest speakers talk, Dr. w. M. Whitehead, resigning president of the Chamber, gave a brief survey of the organization accomplishments during the past year, and passed his authority to Charles w. Carter, ewly-elected President. &
 
 Mir. Carter, who takes his presi- dential position for the fourth term, having previously served in this capacity for three consecutive years, said that he hoped the intervening period would take away the curse of fourth term"
 Guests at today's meeting were Capt. M. Judson Whittier and Will liam Futile of the B. M Behrends Bank.
