 1t is reported that the pact na- tions may consider enlarging their defense treaty into a Western Flu ropean defense and economic or ganization which would include Germany, possibly Sweden, Fur key and other nations not mem- bers of the present agreement
 It has been suggested that Gen. Omar Bradley, present chairman of the U. s. Joint Chiefs of Staff, might be named head of a new Western Defense Command which would replace the present five nation defense organization head ed by British Field Marshal Lord Montgomery.
 A counter move to shut out all western influence and tighten communist control of countries in Russia's eastern sphere of influ- ence has been noted by western diplomats. The latest sign of this campaign has been seen in Po- land, where a purge of govern ment officials and party weak lings is reported under way.

 ch of Alaska's gold-mining Mis-
 viches has been wrestling giants
 Ice he was 8 years old. It was
 ugh, tedious work.
 Miscovich decided to change all
 at, and he has. He built his own ant.
 In placer mining parlance, a ant is an overgrown hose nozzle.
 directs a powerful spray of wa against mountains of muck 5erlaying bedrock.
 Operating a giant is one of the lost wearying chores in the gold elds.
 But not Miscovich's giant ,hich he has given the trade name Intelligiant.
 Look" exclaimed Miscovich he demonstrated his invention t the University og Washington ydraulics laboratory. 'Look-no ands!"
 Water shot to a distance of ITO eet in powerful arc. The giant ozzle slowly swung to right, dip ed down a few degrees, swung eft, eased upward and started the ycle again.
 The Intelligiant makes use of ts own water power to direct the traverse mechanism. Two sets of ralves and cylinders control the pattern of the horizontal and yer ical sweep.
 Tn tests with earlier models, has operated nine giants, unassisted, on his mining ground in Alaska's Iditarod River 
 Miscovich, 32 was born at Flat, scene of a major gold strike in 1910. He sa son of MT. and Mrs. Peter Miscovich, one of the best known names in Alaska mining.
 Veteran miners who have seen he Intelligiant demonstrated de- scribe it as the first revolutionary step in hydraulic-mining engin- ,ering since 1870.
 Miscovich shrugs off the com ,liment.
 "I'm no engineer" he declares. Heck I didn't even get out of nigh school. But I spent plenty of ime pushing giants around.
 I guess I just got tired of work ng so hard"

Funds Insufficient For Child Welfare

The Department of Public Vel fare is very much concerned about the present Juvenile prob lems in the Territory of Alaska. An ever increasing number of children ase being referred for Child Welfare Service, including a large number of children com mitted under provisions of the Ju- venile Code Law. The question is, How is the Welfare Department to continue to extend help to the children and young people in trouble in Alaska when there are not sufficient funds to carry out the legal requirements of the pro- grams?"
 The $16O,0O0.00 appropriation by the l949 Territorial Legislature was just sufficient to care for the children then under Juvenile Code commitment and did not all low for any increase in cases committed to the Department of Public Welfare by the U S. Com missioners' Courts throughout the Territory. The $l60,000.00 was S90,OOO0O short of the request made by the Board of Public Vel fare.
 Effective immediately the De- partment of Public Welfare is put ting into effect the policy of re- serving the Juvenile Code funds available during the balance of the biennium through March 31, 1851, for children already under care and only for babies and younger children referred as new cases. The younger children par ticularly need the protective serv- ices of the Juvenile Code pro- gram. With the serious shortage of Juvenile Code funds, the agency will only be able to provide assist ance for a very limited number of these younger children. This action means that the adolescent boys and girls, who are in trouble in the communities, and are committed to the Department of Public Vel fare, will suffer as there will be no funds available for their care, all though they may benefit from the protective custody provided by the Juvenile Code Law. AS a result, the Childe Welfare Service pro- gram will be critically hampered by lack of adequate funds.

HOW TO BUY BED SHEETS

When you go to the store to buy
sheets you will find labels and pla-
cards indicating the type of sheet
as type 1913 or type 140. There is
difference in the price of the two
sheets; 140 costs more than 1873
Now. just why are the sheets called
by these numbers? The labels indi-
cate fineneSs Or c1oseneSs of weave.
For example. type 140, the one most
commonly bought in this part of the
country, has about 70 warp threads
to the inch and about So in the fill
ing. The sum of the two makes 14O
threads to the square inch This is
the sturdy utility sheet that stands
the most wear.
Type 1913, approximately "a threads
to the inch each way is chosen by
housewives who feel they must eco
nomize, especially when equipping a
large number of single beds. This
grade sheet is used in third class
hotels. No hospital or good hotel
would buy this quality. 1t is too
coarse and thin to give satisfaction.
You will not find the lowest grade
type 112, in stores of the Pacific
Northwest. Tt Is sold in sections of
the country where the per capita
income is low.
The purchase of type 1870 is on the
increase because people are wanting
luxury goods. These are the percale
sheets, very soft, fine and smooth
They are pleasant to the touch but
muss more readily than heavier
sheets. Laboratory tests show thai
type 1870 has less tensile strength
than type 40 The cost is greater
but the wear will be less.
There is a grade higher than the
four standard types This is marked
200 plus-the finest sheet manufac-
tured. A few well known companies
make this sheet at a cost which is
prohibitive in most households
When you see a label that says
"combed yarn" you have superior
article All cottons are carded, but
those which are combed in addition
use long fibers to make fine yarns
The higher cost reflects the quality
If you buy colored sheets and pill
low cases YOU will pay more. By the
way. the quality of pillow cases al
ways corresponds to the material in
sheets Pastel colors happen to be
popular at present. Another disad-
vantage besides the higher cost is
that stains cannot be removed from
colored goods as easily or completely
S from white
Also, if you want hemstitched
sheets and pillow cases you will pay

n ore and get less wear. They tend
to break at the hemstitching.
Sheet manufacturers no longer
guarantee the years of wear to be
expected from sheets. The frequency
and method of laundering largely
determine the life of the sheets.
Hotels and hospitals may have their
sheets washed every day-six times
a week In private homes sheets are
usually washed on alternate weeks
which makes twenty-six washings
ger sheet. Sheets have been done in
commercial laundries 300 times and
more before a break occurred. Some
housewives who have kept records
on the wear of their sheets found
that they have been in service for
II and even Is years. Ten years
would be fair expectancy.
Now a word about brands. Many
woman holds sentimental at
tachment for a certain brand name
because her mother or her grand
mother always bought those sheets.
Her favorite brand is no doubt a
good sheet, But if you are not pre-
JUDGED in favor of a special brand
name you may buy any one of the
leading brands without fear of being
cheated.
