BY RNnS JOHNSON

@-HE worlds tiniest arChitect-the froghopper
whips up a house for himself in five min
i utes flat, using batch of frothy bubbles for
building bricks.
These he manufactures on the spot from juices
sucked out of the weed on which he sits. He
makes them beautiful and soapsudsy by forcing
air into the weed sap through a special air pump
he's grown in q handy spot on his tummy.
The curious little bug who might be expected
to use his powerful black beak as a hammer
actually does all his carpentry with his TAIL add
ing bubble here and one there as he moves
it back and forth much as if he were doing
stint of knitting.
Time was when the most seasoned entomolo.
gists thought the little builders tail acted like
a miniature egg.beater whipping up good stiff
foam. And no wonder it took them ages to learn
that he really had special frothmaking equip
ment, for the very biggest froghoppers are
less than quarter of an inch long.

BUTTER
@z22=55=zS

By now we all know that Alaska has been recently taken off the government butter allotment & placed on the Civil ian allotment. This change automat- ically cuts our butter purchase seventy five percent of our normal needs All of us realize we here have had years of open market on variety and quan- tity of foods but the time has finally arrived when we will have to all CO., operate & share equally on some items. BUTTER is the first major item to really affect Kodiak. In order to equal ;ze & distribute this commodity fairly we are forced to put certain restrlc- tions on our retail sales. This self-ra- tioning plan may seem hardship to some, but, we are in dire hopes you will look the situation square Tn the face & help us to help you by, using butter sparingly, being careful of waste & cooperating with us in this forced method of distribution.

THE Low DOWN
HICKORY GROVE

You know, folks who think Hol-
lyWood is just make believe"
have not been noticing the his
tory they been making there, re-
cent. This. Mr.. deMil1e there, he
is showing that he knows more
than just shootin' pictures of
curvy. DANES and Broadway cow,
boys. He is demonstrating what
starch in a backbone will do when
a walking delegate says spay me,
buddy, or out you go"
And now, folks who have been
observing the kind of fight he is
putin up-they are takin' heart.
The newspaper says a dozen more
workers there were just fired out
of a union for not kickin' in with
a 5 buck weekly assessment to
support striking workers. And
the grand jury is gonna listen and
find out how come the boys can't
work unless they donate - even
though they like the job and
their boss.
l been putting the finishing
touches on a new idea-just get
ting my ACI organized-ACI be-
ing short for Average Citizens In
corporated. l figure that 80 in
every 100 citizens are average and
100 per cent okay-and if orga-
nized, would go to town. But now
MIR. deMille is doing a skookum
job On about the same idea, l am
gonna merge with him, and let
his do the work. So drop him a
card at Hollywood expressing
your ideas.
Yours with the low down,

By DOW FONDA

LONDON. - Godfrey Francis
Fisher was one of the youngest
Archbishops of Canterbury in
modern times when he was en-
throned in ancient Canterbury
Cathedral at the age of ST.. but
he was merely following a de-
sign begun 80 years earlier, when
he becamex the Youngest headmas-
tersof Repton School.
At that 388-year-old institution
Dr. Fisher won his reputation for
organizing, administrative ability
and leadership which brought
him to the throne of st. Angus
tine after his service as Bishop
of Chester and Bishop of London.
So outstanding was his steady
progress UP the ecclesiastical lad
der that his appointment as first
primate of England came as no
surprise. When he was named
Bishop of London in 1889, one
London newspaper headlined it's
story Stands out as Future
Archbishop"
He probably was best charac-
terized by another London news
paper which said ''he will never
lead a great spiritual revival in
the Church of England. Equally,
he will never say or do anything
which will shock or iderange his
fellow Anglieans1---as4 his prede-
cessor DR.. William Temple, some
times did in advocating sweeping
social reforms. - ss,~..
An exponent of personal relf-
gion and prayer as a foundation
of natioal well being, DR.. Fisher
believes in a christian faith
which is not ashamed to be def
mite, explicit and binding" That
is what he called for in his en-
thronement sermon last April 10.
Like most other Englishmen
DIR. Fisher felt war intimately.
Four of his six sons served, and
one of them was a prisoner for
Is months.
Walking and reading detective
stories are his hobbies, although
he was one of the 16 best oarsmen
at Oxford and constant specta-
tor at sports events while head
master at Repton.
Smoking is one of his great
pleasures. Speaking of savings to
meet England's high war taxes,
fhe once said, There is one ex-
iception-and that is tobacco. /
tregard that as an essential ex-
krense and not luxury. l cannot
kwork without smoking.
7 DR.. Fisher works long and hard
over his sermons, using a pre-
pared text for formal addresses.
His stong baritone voice makes
him heard throughout domed st.
PauPs Cathedral, test for any
speaker.
| The youngest of a family OF
seven, he was born in Nuneaton,
Leicestershire, May 5, 1887, the
Eson of the Rev. and Mrs. H. Fish
