 Linked industrially with Furth, where Messerschmitt fig h ter r planes were made, Nuernbrg had a military value in excess of it's charm. It controlled the approach es to the Danube from its perch in the north Bavarian mountains, it's rail yards could handle 5000 trains, and it was the key point on rail and water routes to and from northern Germany and Italy and southeastern Europe.
 Late in the war the Germans were believed ready to move the capital there from Berlin. Nuern- berg was defended so feverishly that the RAF suffered a record single mission loss in attacking it.. But the attacks went on, making life in the Nazi dream city a night mare, and peace a harsh awaken ing

GRIFFIN OPENS OFFICE SUPPLY COMPANY FOR ALASKA

Tt is my intention to do busi. ness exclusively in Alaska, and have developed my sources of SUD- ply with that thought in mind," Charles R. Griffin stated in an- nouncing the opening of the Charles R. Griffin Co.,, new Seattle firm established to supply govern ment, bank and commercial office equipment directly to Alaskan consumers.
 "I made my first trip to Alaska in 1917 and have made an entend- ed trip every years since 1884, ex- cept for l944. It gets in the blood. I anticipate spending at least two thirds of my time in Alaska and will be heading north in a few days" Griffin said. He is well known to Alaskans who have pur- chased office equipment in the past, and will now represent such prominent houses as Charles R. Hadley Co.,, and Art Metal Con- struction Co.,, as well as acting as iobber for Philco radio and Sheaf- fer Lifetime pens.
 Griffin has developed a diversi- fled line which will enable him to supply any needs of Alaskans in the office equipment line. His new office, in which he is associated with Charles Milot, well-known former Alaskan, is located at 87 Marion Street, Seattle, telephone Eliot 8577.

But today it is rather dark in Nuremberg, and quiet, as it is in the ruins of other bombed cities. The imminence of war trials for Nazi Germany's leaders would not make for celebration, especially in the city jail cells, where the men who years ago took the cheers of the multitude now wait for court to open.
 Its sentimental links with the Germanic past made Nuremberg a logical point of departure for the Nazi political voyage. Here the party congress met in 1883 to pro- claim the founding of the Third Reich and returned bloated with more power year after year. Here Hitler cried, with endearing gener- osity, "If I had the Ukraine! If we had the Urals!" And with char acteristic modesty: Germany never will be conquered - from without or within!"

My hobby is collecting match
covers. I have 931 match covers
from all over the United States.
My grandfather started this collec-
ton for me. He travels quite a bit
and brings me back the match
covers for my collection. I have
been collecting them for four or
five years.
Among my collection I have 100
match covers from hotels. These
match covers are very interesting.
and I enjoy collecting them.
I have one match cover which is
especially interesting. 1t has the
names Of a couple Of my friends
engraved on 1t.
Some Of my match covers are
from different railroads: Pennsyl-
vania. Burlington, Northwestern and
others.
Today's match covers are very
plain and very scarce. I have some
with the branches of the service on
them. Some recent match covers
tell us what we should all do:
Save scrap, give to the Mile o
Dimes, save waste paper and, most
Of all, buy War Bonds!

In the Art World
Paintings by Eugene Delacroix
In the Phillips Memorial Gallery

had first introduction to the work
of this artist. All four works, seen
then in a much overcrowded gallery
still hnger in memory.
The works in the current ex-
hibition have been no less wisely
selected and are beautifully shown
in the drawing room informally and
not as on parade. OF all, probably
most famous is Horses Coming
Out of the Sea- lent by Mime. E.
Staub-Terlinden, which is delightful
in color and composition, full of ac-
ton but in no wise exaggerated
Nine. Staub- also gener-
ously lends THE Fanatic of Tan
giers,' an earlier work. To these
the Disciples at Emmaus," from
the collection of Mrs. Watson B.
Dickerman, is in striking contrast.
1t was shown in the salon of 1853
and is very spiritual in feeling and
manner of execution. Herein a
strain of Rembrandt influence may
perhaps be traced. Certainly it is
more freely handled than most of
Delacrolx'S canVaSes.
Physical Combat
Delacroix undoubtedly found many
of his subjects in his own we'll
stocked brain. Not infrequently they
are essentially literary, as for in
stance "Desdemona at Her Faith
er's Feet" from the Joseph Stran-
sky collection. Although not per-
sonally combative Delacroix seems
to have rejoiced in physical combat,
NOSE striking example of which
is found in his painting entitled
Combat Between the Giaour and
the Pacha," which was originally
owned by Alexandra Dumas, the
elder, and is now included In the
Potter Palmer estate. In this and
again in the impressive Hercules
Brings Back Alcestis from Hades,
owned by the Phillips Memorial
Gallery, are displayed the painters
delight in furious combat and skill
full use of the story motive.
Two paintings of tigers lend fur
ther evidence to this characteristic,
representing as they do the acme of
animal strength and at the same
time displaying the beauty of line
and muscular grace of all those of
the cat tribe. In the figure COM

by IS mules and with q few extra
Indian ponies, the adventures
headed westward. Shortly they
were joined by Or. Gambel and
five Virginians," who added one
wagon and eight mules.
The westward trip was to take
several months. An idea of 1t can
be gained by looking at the diary
which Wistar kept. Here, in short
ened form. are notes which he made
on May II, 1919:
During my watch last night the
wolves were barking and bowling
around the wagons.
after the usual digging, pulling
and hauling (this morning., we
got all our wagons over the creek
and made good march to the Little
Vermillion River. We halted q
mile west Of 1t for noon rest.
Zone wagon company failed to un-
harness the mules, with the result
that they grazed until the wagon
was upset and pole axle was
broken.
Fortunately q large party from
Missouri came along and one Of
Its members gave me an excellent
piece Of seasoned timber. Around
ID blazing fire we got to work with
tools and expect to finish fixing the
axle by morning"
The diary goes on to tell that
the repairs were finished before
daylight. Three days later the
party joined forces with . band Of
men from Indiana, and went on in
the general direction Of California.
Up to this point they had covered
an average distance Of only eight
miles per day. due to bad weather
and roads, unbroken mules, excessive
loads" and 50 on.

the upright piece and its braces in
place and then screw the seat to the
upright.
This sled is tricky customer, and
it will take little skill and practice
before you can slide down hill
sitting up and not take tumble into
the snow. If you wish, you can ride
the sled standing up and holding on
to the seat as a guiding bar. This
also takes skill, as the sled must be
steered by shifting the weight OF
the body to the right or left.
When there isn't any snow the
sled can be used to coast down a
steep incline of loose dirt or sand,
or to coast down steep hill covered
by dry, dead grass. The effect IN
both cases is much the same as
coasting upon snow.
