instead of visitors. Sometimes an
obstetrical case had to remain in
the delivery room annex because
there was no space available in
the wards.
And sometimes hospital super
intendent Mabel Selin and her
fine staff worked double and
almost triple shifts to get all
the work done.
On week ends, the hospital
emergency room often was busy
every hour of the day. The hos
pital gave emergency treatment
to more patients this year than
ever in it's history. But every
body in need of help got help.
THAT'S the kind of service that
Ottawa county's Magruder hos
pital gives the public.
When a solicitor calls at your
door next week, in the annual
drive for funds to aid the hos
pital, remember George F. Re-
member Mrs. BIS sister. And re-
member that hospital needs
funds to keep going.
Remember too that it may be
your life, or the life of some
loved one, that next will be saved
because there IS a hospital here.
Visit the hospital Sunday for
the Open House, from two to
four, which is the official opening
of the campaign. You are cordial
ly welcomed to inspect your hos
pital, and to see the phases that
make it Ohio's finest small insti-
tuition record that Ottawa
county wants to keep.

TOUGH PROBLEM OF ARCHC H LICKED, E US. NAvY'j BELIEF New Gddgef Is Breathing
 Mask Which Aims to
 Keep Body Warm
By ROBERT M. HARRINGTON

WASHINGTON, March 18.-lR- The Navy thinks it has licked the toughest problem of living and fighting in the Arctic--kaeping warm.
 It's scientists are periecting a new simple gadget that saves 30 percent Of the body heat normally lost by breathing, and turns 70-below zero cold inhaled air into a spring-like 64 above.
 Nearly half of the total heat loss in cold weather is through breath ng, regardless of the kind of cloth ing worn, the Navy says. During the war, complicated electric air warmers were tested, but the re- suits weren't very good.
 The new gadget is breathing mask which weighs less than one pound. It works on the principle known to every farm boy: If you wrap a scarf abound your nose, the outside air doesn't feel so cold
 Starting with this, Dr. Norman E. Phillips and Loyal Golf of the Uni versity of Maryland developed for the Navy face mask only a few inches in diameter containing sev- eral feet of air passages.
 Heat and moisture is extracted from exhaled air and retained in the passages. warming and humi- wing the inhaled air. That's all there is to it, tut the Navy says it will enable man to breathe con- fortably even in the TO below zero of tho Arctic.
 Military men regard the Arctic as the most likely route of an alr attack on the U. s. They have been hard at work on special lubricants that won't congeal in the cold, on mechanical equspmentf that can build air bases in icy weather, on houses that men can erect wearing thick mittens, and hundreds of oth- CT problems of the Far North. But this is the first success reported on ow to keep men warm away from heated barracks, out where the biting cold brings lethargy and even death.

Raw Fish Tax Measure Is Amended-FindI Vote
 Expected Tomorrow
By BOB DeARMOND

A further reduction i'll the pro- posed tax On Alaska herring. as contained in the raw fish tax bill, was made this morning when the bill came up for second reading in the Senate.
 Senate tion Committee amendments to the main bill, re- ducing the tax on herring, crabs, clans and other shellfish from four to two percent of net value, had been adopted when Senator Steve Mo- Cutcheon offered another one to re- duce the herring tax to one percent but extend it to cover bait herring.
 Tine price of herring products ap- pears to be falling, as we were in- formed yesterday while another bill was under consideration, while the prices of salmon. halibut. crabs and other fish products are advancing, !" Senator McCutcheon said in support of his amendment.
 There was no argument on the point and the m n ment was adopted by 1924 vote.
 Under the bill as it now stands. salmon canneries will pay four per- cent on the value of the raw fish, which will be calculated as equal to 50 percent of the market price of the canned salmon.
 Crabs, clans and other shellfish, except butter clans. will be taxed at two percent of the value of the raw product.
 Herring and butter clans will be taxed one percent of the value of the raw product.
 COLD STORAGE BILL
 In companion bill which was originally a part of the main bill, cold storage fish. including halibut, salmon. livers, viscera and other fishery products will be taxed one percent of the value of the raw product.
 Salmon and other fishery pro- ducts" was amended tack into the Eill yesterday after the covering wording had been omitted from the Dill as introduced.
 The reason for dividing the matter into two bills was not entirely clear, and Senator John Butrovich receiv- ed little enlightenment when he inquired about it yesterday

WAGE, HOURS. BILL L0SES ON S-S VOTE.
Forty Hour Week Proves Stumbling Block, Labor
 Supported Measure
By BOB DeARMOND


 The Maximum Hours and Mini mum Wages bill, which was in- troduced in the House on the sec ond day of the regular session and passed by the House on the 18th day with a 16-8 vote, was killed by the Senate on an 8-8 vote yesterday afternoon.
 Providing for minimum wage of one dollar an hour and for an B. hour work day, 40-hour working week, with time and one-half for overtime, the bill has been hanging fire in the Senate since the 22nd day of the session, when it came over from the House.
 The final vote on the bill came without preliminary debate follow ing demand for the previous question in order to cut off furth- CT hearing of witnesses.
 Voting against the bill were Re- publican Senators Butrovich, Col lins, Dawes. Jones, Munz end Ner- land, Democrats Barr and Lyng. Senators Barr ana Lyng, as well as some of the others, had pre- viously expressed themselves as opposed to the 40-hour provision of the bill. but attempts to amend that feature out of the measure were unavailing.
 Voted Down
 An amendment offered by Sena- tor Barr to eliminate section one of the bill, covering the hours of labor, was defeated by an 8-8 vote This bill as it stands does not exempt the mining and fishing in- dustries, our two mainstays in this Territory and both of them sea- sonal, and I will not vote for the bill so long as it contains one single thing that I don't like" Senator Lyng announced after the defeat of Senator Barr's amendment.
 Tt contains two medicines in one pill, and I'm not going to swallow the pill,' Senator Collins chimed in
 After the amendments had failed and the bill was advanced to third reading T. E. Erickson, executive secretary of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor took the stand < in behalf of the bill.
 Desirable Standards

ANOTHER TAX
 BILL I5 SIGNED BY GOVERNOR.
Fisheries Department Act Also Gets Final Leg
 isIdtive 0. K.
By JIM HUTCHINSON

A new maJOr tax act was SlgneQ into law today by Governor Gruen- ing.
 His office announced the signing of the general business license tax act. It doesn't become effective however, until after Congress ap- peals the act under which present miscellaneous business license tax es are collected.
 It. provides for s25 license fees and levy of one-half of one per cent on gross revenue above S20.000 and one-fourth per cent above $1O0,000
 Legislative action was completed this morning on the bill to create territorial Department of Fish ies under an appointive board of i've persons-three fishermen, one processor and one. representative of the general public. The House concurred unanimously in amend ments by the Senate. The bill TOW goes to the Governor.
 Carries Appropriation
 The bill by Rep. Allred Owen, Jr., provides that the new department would work in conjunction with Federal agencies as long as they continue to control the Alaska fish cries. In event of statehood, it would take over all duties now pre- scribed to the Fish and Wildlife Service. The bill carries a $250, ,O0O appropriation. The board would name a director at a salary up to $10,00O.
 Legislation for a popular refer endum on whether the Territory should ask Congress for authority for $20,000,000 bond issue, mostly for school buildings, hung by a weakened lifeline today.
 The House leadership failed to muster two-thirds vote this morn ing to suspend the rules to accept the Senate bill after the deadline for such transmittals. The vote was 15-9, but 16 votes were need- ed
 There were two votes by the same count. The second was recon sideration motion by Rep. Warren Taylor.
 There were strong indications however, that the issue might be re- yived this afternoon on parlia- mentary maneuver on the prospect of getting one vote switched.
 Sharp Words Some sharp words were said against the Senate during the House discussion.
 Should the Senate-approved bill fail to be revived in the House he only chance of the bond issue referendum would be on the basis of the Senate bringing Rep. Jack

TERMS OF
 NEW pA(T
 REVEALED
North Atlantic Treaty Binds US. and Allied Nations
 10 Resist Attack
By JOHN M. HIGHTOwER


 WASHINGTON, March 18. --lR- The Atlantic Pact powers today made public their security treaty, officially disclosing this big point: The United States would be bound automatically to counter an attack on any ally. perhaps even by use of armed force.'
 In news conference, Secretary of State AcheSon went little fur ther than the bare words of the proposed treaty.
 Asked about the extent of the ob- Igation to fight in event of an at tack. Acheson explained it this way If in the judgment of the United States government, armed force would be necessary to restore the security of the North Atlantic area, then there would be an obligation to use it under the treaty.
 When Effective
 The treaty will become effective only after ratification which in the United States means it must be ap- proved by the Senate.
 The parties referred to in the pact are the nations signing 1t. These will definitely include the United States, Canada, Norway, Britain. France, Belgium, the Meth erlands and Luxembourg. In addi- tion Iceland, Portugal, Denmark, and Italy have been invited and are expected to sign.
 Some Senate criticism is expect ed by administration officials, but they are confident of eventual rati- fication Acheson talked at various stages of the negotiations with such foreign policy leaders as Senators Ccnnally tD-Tex), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and vandenberg, tR-Mich), the form CT chairman
 The unprecedented treaty, pro-
  posing for the first time in peace to bind America in an alliance with European nations, was made public at 8 a. m. (PST) by the United States and seven other coun- tries which intend to sign it here about April 4.
 Denounced By SOviets
 This official disclosure of the terms is expected to arouse Russia to new heights in propaganda at tacks against the alliance. The Soviets already have denounced 1t IS an aggressive move against them. despite the repeated assertions of
