old Burma read junction town OF

g MUSH"

New York Times)
There are many things without which
soldier must do in the line, but NUM-
tions and food he must have. Trucks can
take them only so far; ration parties
have to come for them and carry them
back on foot That is no easy task when
the ground is bad, the weather worse
and enemy fire worst Of all just now
General Bradley's fighting men face all
of these. The ground is a shambleS, the
snow is deep, enemy SnlperS keep busy
Slogging through snow with heavy load
of rationS is not easy for men. Dogs are
to be tried out, and 100 Eskimo huskles,
two dozen sledges and as many trained
drivers have been flown to Belgium to
carry chow to the men up front.
Dogs have been used in this war to ac-
company patrols, to carry messages,
even to detect mines, but probably this
is the first time they have been used
to take food to the front. Trained husk-
les should do admirably. The green pas
lures are not the heaven of the husky;
he would lie down in snowy wastes. For
the snow is his element. He loves to run
in it. At night he will curl around and
let il swirl about him to be warm blan-
ket. To him nothing is more enjoyable
than the prospect of a sledge trip, unless
it is the trip itself He knows these prep.
arations above any others and his hOWlS
of anticipation are something to be heard.
Harnessed, he will hardly wait to start,
and once started becomes the nearest
thing on four feet to perpetual motion.
The heavier the load the harder he will
pull And for courage nothing can sur
pass him.
Wherever dogs are used the command
"Mush!'' is heard. Just what it means
is a matter of dispute. AS good guess
as any is that it is a corruption of the
French habitant's "Marche,' Get go
ing!" With huskies the word needs no
whip. 1t will start off dog team at
breakneck speed. Are rations to be de
hvered to Bradley's men? Load the
sledge. Harness up the huskies. Pull on
vour snow packs. And "Mushn'

COCKTAIL PLASTIC
TO MAKE RAINCOA1S

CHICAGO, March 7. CUP)-What
sounded like cocktail for milady-
coke, lime (stone) and salt-are the
ingredients for a postwar light
weight raincoat fabric for women
and children, the plastic products
civision of the B. F, Goodrich co.
revealed recently.
The company said the fabric
made of coke "a soft coan, lime
stone and salt, now was being used
extensively on war orders requiring
a protective coating. Its first ap-
pearance after the war will be IN
multi-colored rainwear and UNI
brellas of extremely light weight
The fabric is said not to become
sticky or crack from repeated use,
and also will be used eventually as
shoe solings, shoe trims, handbags,
hat trimming and luggage.

FAIR TRADE ACT OUT?
Clos Angeles Times)

CLOS Angeles I1meS)
The decision of the Supreme Court that
an agreement among a number of distil
lers to fix retail prices for whisky in
consonance with the Colorado fair
trade" act violates the Sherman law may
have the effect of invalidating the fair
trade" acts in a number of States, includ
ing California.
California was one of the first States
to adopt fair trade act, penalizing
cutting prices on branded merchandise,
and most of the other States which adopt
ed such acts copied that of California
almost verbatim. ColoradO's probably
follows ours very closely.
There has been good deal Of dispute
over the value of these acts to the con-
suming public, though a majority of mer-
chandisers probably favor them.
Yesterdays decision, which held that
the means adopted (by the distillers
and wholesalers ;. . reached beyond the
boundaries of Colorado" probably will
require the re-examination Of State pol
icies as to price fixing and may force the
abandonment of efforts IN this direction.

Kenny Sees Need
To Probe Land
Owned by Japs

SACRAMENTO, March 7. (UP)-
Adequate investigation and prose-
cution CT violations of the Califor
MIA alien land act, under which in
eligible japanese acquired property
in this state, would cost approXi-
mately 100000 annually. Attorney
General Robert W. Kenny has in
formed the legislature.
Responding to resolution adopt
ed by the legislators in January
seeking data on evaSionS of the law
and the expenditure needed to un-
cover them, Kenny said his esti-
mate was based entirely on the
character and eXhaustiveness OF the
local situations disclosed.
The estimate, he explained, did
not include the cost of legal serv-
ices required to carry cn escheat
proceedings. reimbursement OF the
state through sale of escheated
property was not taken into con-
sideration, he added, because up to
the present time the escheat pro-
visions OF tie law nave not peen
satisfactorily adjudicated.
Kenny said the exact number OF
counties in which violations have
occurred is not known. He pointed
out that legal action has been start
ed after a limited amount of inves-
tigative work in seven counties and
an appreciable number OF escheat
proceedings are now in various
stages, with judgments rendered in
several others.
"There is reason to believe that
in at least twice that number Oh
counties there exists a fertile ileld
for investigation with good possibll-
ity of uncovering violations OF the
alien land law" Kenny said.
