SOUNDING out sentiment has
been popular with candidates
this year.
Highway Commissioner Harry
Mines began it last fxll. His ear
was to the ground and iwhat he
heard at meetings of county com-
missioners and county Judges con-
vinced him there was a real de-
mand for his ca:*-lidacy ofr gover-
nor.
O'Danicl sounded out sentiment
by reading letters over tha radio
in which he was asl:e«l to run, and
then .\raited for other similar let-
ters to come in.
Ferguson announced his wife's
candidacy tentatively, and invited
a post card request 'from thosc
■who wanted her to seek a third
term.
Latest of the sounder-outers is
Cot Ernest O. Thompson. He an-
"nounccd that he will be available
If the people wart. him.
Just how a prospective candidate
determines when the people seek
his candidacy is somcmhat of a
puzzle. None has announced just
how many requests must be made.
When Thompson was asked the
question he laughed.

Tension Eases
Allies Victorious In
Small Battle In Far
Northern Norway
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain today had won a precarious
lease on life and outlined a dras-
tic program for' defense of Eng-
land. Chamberlain won confidency
by 8>1 votes and indicated no cab-
inet >3hakeup, but may replace un-
popular ministers soon through
technicality.
To guard against possibilities of
an attack King George issued a
proclamation making 2,500,000
more men liable for service. Thc
commons bill discussed increasing
'punishment of spies and traitors
In Rome Mussolini told the army
that he "acted" instead of talked
and warned people to become ac
customed to silence. In Berlin
Nazis said German planes sunk a
70C0-ton allied transport ship.
Hitler said all Norwegian pri-
soners able to return home.
The Moscow press announced
army leaders entirely responsible
for future military engagements.
German troops have been driven
from their strategic roost high in
the Lejcastind Mountain north of
Narvik Fjord, Norwegian head
quarters claimed Wednesday in a
report telling of bitter fighting
in thc Gratagen front.
Attacking with all the resources
at their demand — aircraft, artil-
lery and infantry — the lilies
were able to blast the Cerman3
from thc stragctically Important
mountain, the report said.
At the same time. Sweden Wed-
nesday closed to foreigners all
frontiers which skirt thc fighting
area in Notiway.
The report of the Allied victory
at Gratagen gave added impetus
to Norwegian predictions that the
German troops occupying Narvik
can not hold out more than a few
day« longer.

north iron ore port arc complete

Sumy Shows
Heavy Drinking
Between 20-30
CHICAGO (U.R)—Excessive drink
ing, especially among persons be-
tween 20 and 30 yeans old, has in-
creased greatly in the last three
years, according to Charles R.
Jones, executive vice president cf
thc American Business Men's Re-
search Foundation.
"A survey reveals that in the
younger age group two out of five
men and one out of twelve wo-
men drink in such amounts a>
to constitute in many cases sub-
standard risks for life insurance
companies," Jones said.
Jones said thc foundation vjt.'i
conducting an analysis of thc ex-
periences of insurance companies
as concerns drinking habits.
"Drinking habits, we have
found, are responsible for one of
thc most difficult situations ever
to arise in the life insurance bus-
iness." he said.
"Many directors and under-
writers are advising us that they
are forced either to decline out-
right or accept only at special
high rates, more applicants for
life insuranCv. lor excessive drink-
ing habits than for any other
cause," Jones said.
One company reported that for
each 100 applications rejected 21
indulged excessively in liquor.
