PIMA IN 19TH YR.
 SHOWS INCREASE
 IN ALL TRAFFIC

The general increase in airline traffic is not confined to the De- mestic Airlines according to stat istics compiled by Pacific Northern Airlines, Alaska's pioneer certified airline.
 Traffic statistics released by PIMA for the first two months of 1851 reveal impressive gains over 1850. Passenger traffic increased 57 per cent, Air Cargo Gfre:ghD increased 24 per cent and U. s. Mail increased 47 per cent in January and Febru- ary over the same months in 1850.
 Officials of PIMA said that total ton miles of revenue traffic in- creased slightly over 50 per cent during the first two months of 1851 as compared to 1850, with less than 6 per cent increase in miles flown. This is great improvement in util- ;zing the available space of each aircraft and is reflected in PNA's utilization factor of 62 per cent of all space available this year as com pared to 41 per cent in 1950
 Harold Olsen, Traffic and Sales official of PIMA said, "rhe increased traffic can be contributed to the National Preparedness Program, to increased commercial activity, also to activity in connection with the biennial sessions of the Alaska Leg islature in Juneau, and to promo tional fares introduced during Feb ruary. fa
 Pacific Northern Airlines is start ing it's 18th year in Alaska and of ficials of the Company plan on transporting a volume of combined commercial fishing and construc- ton workers as well as hundreds of tons of air cargo and U. s. Mail in Alaska in 1851. PIMA has applied for an extension of its routes from Alaska to Seattle and Portland, to facilitate heavy movement of per- sons and property to strategic Alaska.

TWO ACTORS FIGHT
 ALL THE TIME IN
 BILL AT CAPITOL

Bill Murphy and Richard Jaeckel had to sweat out a casualty in Re- public's Sands of Two Jima," which stars John Wayne and is now at the Capitol Theatre. They portray the O'Flynn brothers, and are con- stantly battling each other when they aren't fighting the enemy. Throughout the picture they are at each other, calling. punch ing and lunging-but in the end one is killed by the enemy and the other is broken-hearted.
 Director Allan Dwan didn't de- eide until the end of the picture which actor was to be the casualty. And he didn't tell them until the day the scene was to be shot. The decision? Murphy was the brother who was killed
 For all their screen Squabbling, Murphy and Jaeckel are good friends in private life.

Chess
By Donald H. Muqridqe

The 1851 District of Columbia
Chess Championship Tournament
will begin on Saturday. April 7.
at 2 pm. 1t is open to all resi-
dents of Greater Washington. and
entries will be received up to
9 pm. on Wednesday, April 4.
The District Championship Com
mittee met last Thursday and
appointed William j. Nucker as
tournament director and treas
urer. The entrance fee is So, of
which SIS will go to the prize fund,
$3.50 will be refunded on the COM
pletion Of the players schedule,
and the residue will be devoted to
the expenses Of a tournament
book containing the best games,
which Russell Chauvenet has
undertaken to prepare. Entries
and checks should 60 to Mr..
Nucker at 5642 Seventh road
south. Arlington. Va. Owens
9172.)
Mr.. Nucker will be supported
by a tournament committee con-
sisting of Vincent L. Eaton, Carl
A. Hesse. and N. P. Wigginton.
The tournament will be a round
robin if there are no more than
Is entries, but the Swiss system
employed last year will be again
adopted if that number is ex-
ceeded. The size and number of
the prizes will be determined by
the number of entrants.
I. s. Turnover has made a hand
some contribution of $35 to the
prize fund. and has offered an
other $40 for the most brilliant
game. w. K. Wimsatt has offered
special prize of $25 for the best
score made by a a -prizewinner
against the priZewinners.
The time limit will be the Gus
tomary one of SO moves in the
first two hours, and 10 moves an
hour thereafter. The main sessions
of play will take place at the
Washington Chess Divan (2445
Fifteenth street NV Saturday
afternoons from 2 to 6 and the
adjournment sessions on Wednes-
day evenings at 8. Games may be
played at other times and places
by arrangement with the director
but each game must be finished
by the Thursday evening preced-
ing the next round. In the absence
of Hans Berliner, who has monop-
olized the District title for the last
two years, the mice should have a
lively and interesting time.
The following game, played in
the match between the Divan A
team and Maryland University on
February %, is a specimen of the
Budapesth defense conducted on
gambit lines. White keeps the
pawn, but acquires too many
structural weaknesses, and is lost
even if he avoids the snap mate.

Urbonite Agriculture Poses
Problems for County Aqent

Joseph E. Beard, Fairfax Coun-
tvs agricultural agent, can re-
member back in the days when life
was reasonably simple.
Those were the days when Fair
fax was primarily an agricultural
county-When Jee's work was al
most entirely concerned with the
farmer and his problems.
Well, anybody who has travelled
through Fairfax in recent years
knows this is no longer true. The
county has become urbanized so
rapidly that officials are having a
tough time keeping up with the
demands for new services.
While Joe still has his farmers
to consider. he is getting more and
more calls for help from the "one-
acre farmers"-those who have
come into the county to find the
joys of country living along with
the conveniences Of town.
And some of their questions will
stump the experts.
1T isn't so much the problem
OF answering their questions" Joe
said, "as it is of knowing just how
to frame your answers. You never
can tell just how much a person
knows about the plants and gar
dening. and so you never can tell
just how much your answer will
be understood.
Clay Garden Queries.
There. is the example of the
homeowner who wanted to- know
how to make a garden out of red
clay soil. That, on the surface,
doesn't appear to be such a hard
question to answer. But you must
remember that almost every an
swer in agriculture has qualifca-
tons.
Joe told this homeowner that
clay soil often can be made into
a good garden. He told her of
the Importance of humuS, and
that humuS can be added to the
soil in the form of animal ma
. nures or green manure crops. He
also explained the Importance of
lining undertaking. giving spe-
cific directions as to the amounts
to be used.
So far, so good. But Joe doesn't
know how complicated his direc-
lions may have sounded to an
experienced gardener. Nor could
he tell from the letter if the pros
pective gardener was really in
tereSted enough to go to the con-
siderable work and trouble neces-
sary to have a first-class garden.
Then there are questions that
always arise about this time of
the year about bees. Lots of
houses in Fairfax County evil
dentally have colonies of bees that
have made their home under a
roof overhang or some other place
where they are not wanted.
Now bees are not too hard to
get rid of, Joe explained, but not
the way most people want the

With spring in the air more and
more of us are going auto riding
Some of us want to take our dogs
with us except that we are faced
with a problem. that of pets be-
coming car sick.
A dog usually become car sick
because he is frightened when rid
ing. Dogs, like humans, have a
nervous system, and car sickness
is often merely a sign that they
are upset due to fright.
The best curative method is to
place the animal in the car while
it Is parked, leaving him inside for
a short time. During part of this
time the owner should remain
with the dog. patting and speak
ing gently to him. Do this few
times and then take the dog for a
short ride, making sure not to do
so too soon after he has eaten
Continue during these short rides
to pet the animal.
Gradually increase the length
of these drives. You will soon
find that your dog will never SUI
fer from car sickness again.
How many nails has your dog
on each foot? How many pads on
each foot? How many teeth has
he? When he stretches. does he
lower the front or rear half of his
body first? Why does he pant
when he is hot or tired or nervous?
Why can a dog eat safely the
whole carcass of newly killed fowl
and yet be killed by eating the
bones of a bird that has been
cooked? Why does he turn
around. as a rule, before he lies
iown to sleep? AS he grows older
are his front teeth farther apart
or nearer together than when he
vas young, and why?
Why do his front teeth wear
Town to the gums while his back
teeth still are unworn? Why does

job done. The average home
owner, he said. wants those bees
away right now. They seem to
think there is some one about
who likes bees and will come
take the hive in a few minutes,
leaving everything about the
house just as 1t was.
Snakes and Skunks, Too.
Or they want Joe to use q
poisonous gas to get rid Of the
insects. This. Joe won't do be-
cause Of the danger to children in
thickly populated sections. Most
gases used are heavier than air
and will settle to the ground.
They could cause a lot Of damage
if breeze drifted fumes into q
housing development.
Joe has come in for his share
of the snakes, and skunks have
been particularly bothersome this
year. Joe doesn't know too much
about snakes, and he can't be sure
whether this particular woman
has seen a moccasin or just q
plain old-fashioned blacksnake
It's a good bet, however, that it
will turn out to be the last-named
variety.
Joe finds that people won't
bother too much about the foun-
dations of their houses until they
are visited by a colony Of skunks.
Then, like the people with bees,
they want something done now.
Most don't want to use poison
bait because of the cat or the
dog. and they don't want to wait
until Mr.. and Mrs. Skunk 60 out
for a nights walk and then stop
up the foundation hole. They just
want to be rid of the skunk fam
lily, and they want Joe to do the
job for them.
But don't get the idea that Joe
gets tired of his job. He takes it
all in stride and probably gets
more fun out of helping the hard
to help as he does those who are
regular farmers. He puts it this
way:
If you sit down and help some
one who is in earnest, and in doing
this help create an interest, you
probably have done more than
you have when you give an answer
to some one who is capable of
knowing himself"

he lower his head when he growls
and lift it when he banks?
All Of these are simple ques-
tons with simple answers. To
how many of them do you dog
owners know the correct replies?
Some of you know them all. Some
none.
We have grown so used to dogs
burying bones for future use that
we don't give much thought to
that thrifty custom. Though, as
far as I knew, except for the
squirrel family. the dog is the
only creature in all the vast
animal kingdom which makes
such allowance for possible future
needs. Often I have wondered
why.
There are some dogs which car
ry this burying instinct a step fur
ther-dogs which steal all man
ner of things and then hide them
in some specially prepared cache.
There seems no reason at all for
this unless it is a preversion of
the bone-hiding trait.
Once owned a dog that buried
Jail manner of things. Then when
we had guests he would bring
out one or more of the dirt-i,,-
crusted articles to show off, and
promptly hide them again. At one
period of this dogs life such ac-
tons were from time to time
rather embarrassing. He had
made it a habit to occasionally
bring out intimate garments which
he had found in neighbours laun-
dry yards. He had found them
and buried them for. what reason
I don't know. And why dogs bury

MEA ANNOUNCES NEW POLICY ON CONSUMER CHARGES

New "trouble-shooting" policy has been set by the Matanuska Electric association.
 The MEAS new contract with the union carries a safety stipu- lation that on all trouble calls there shall be two men; also that on any hours worked after 4::30 pm. double time shall be paid.
 Under the new policy, when the trouble is on the premises on the consumers side of the meter, including the consumer side of the outdoor breaker next to the meter, two-thirds of the cost will be assessed against the consum- err, statement by officers of the MEA announced.
 ''The MEA is a partnership of all it's membership. When there is a call that is not legitimate trouble it costs the whole mem bership and comes out of the re- serve for maintenance. If we should have some important trOu- bles come up, the fund should not be depleted for work that the membership can perform for it. self. As we all know there is short margin for maintenance work and it covers a membership of 845 consumers" the statement continued.
 'There is a breaker box in the office which will be shown and explained to the consumer if there is doubt how it is operated. We want trouble calls when they are the MEAS but be sure the trouble belongs to the association and not to the consumer. If you have any objection or better solu- ton to this new policy, please write us''.
