New Alaska Road Ready Within Year Interior Secretary Harold Ickes aid present plant call for com- pletion "within one year" of the United States-Alaska Highway. "The road will be protected from the sea by alpine country Bnpassable for airplanes for at least fifty per cent of the time dut to coastal fogs and itorms," he aaid. "Along this route, trucks and tanks could move easily and quickly In a continuous lifeline between the United State* and Alaska." Looks For Greatest Gamble In History Despatches from Stockholm and Zurich quoted the editor of the Helsinki newspaper Sanomat as writing on his return from Berlin egg* in one basket for Spring offensive and that we will wit- MM the greatest gamble in his- tory." "The coming German Spring offensive dominates every- thing in Germany," the Finnish journalist wrote. "Tanks and the Luftwaffe will be thrown into tattles In numbers never before experienced." In The Garden Because grass is a cool-weather plant, any work with lawns should M started just as quickly in the Spring as possible, experts point eut. This does not mean, of course, that the soil should be worked while it is still wet. That art of thing never helps in any kind of gardening. But once one an walk over the ground without getting shoes muddy, then the rake can be brought into play. In both new lawns or patching, the soil should be raked fine and level. Authorities advise sowing ewly the highest quality of seed mixtures and as thick as direc- tions specify. To get even re- solU, It Is best to make a double swing, one across and once lengthwise. Small patches can be protected from the birds by use of brush. Both new and old lawns bene- fit from rolling while the ground ! still soft Grass, like any other plant, benefits from rich soil and an annual application of fertilizer. This improves the growth and also the color of the grass itself. SOIL BUILDING Perfect garden soil is a light, rich loam, which means a mix- ture of nand. clay and rotted vegetable matter. The latter is technically known a* humus. Un- less one is lucky, it is not usual to find such a perfect combina- tion In one's own garden. But with a little care, something very similar can be created. Fre- quent cultivation in itself will go far towards creating a new gar- den soil. Plowing or spading, plus harrowing or raking, will loossen up the toughest c ay, and after a few years it is amazing how much easier it will be to work. Another rimple corrective will be the incorporation of hu- mus, such as woli-rotted manure, green vegetable matter like a crop ef weeds, clover or green oat*. BOOK SHELF NINE LIVES By Alice Grant Roiman When Samuel Penguin first came to the Bosnian's, he was already a cat of character. But he was aloof in the beginning. Only gradually did he unbend and permit familiarity; It was an oc- casion when the first purr was oted. Here is his biojrraphy the tory of his development, of his overlordship in the family of the London he came to know, ami of the war he was to experience. Nine Lives is London past and present, for Miss Bosnian goes back to her own introduction to H some thirty years ago. Sam's adventures have been many and his friends legion. He has accepted tribute from all cor- ners of the globe, and he has taken his part in the war with the same royal fortitude. He saw his mistress in gas masks, was introduced to an Animal Post, spent the nights of raids in shel- ters, and took soldiers, refugees and ambulance girls just as they came. In a bomb-emergency, he even shared a dugout with a dog. Bam bore the ordeal well, but the dog had a nervous breakdown. The best way to convey the quality of this enchanting book la to say that Alice Kosivan wrote it. That it contains innumerable black-and-white drawings by Di- ana Thome is to prove that it la a book of unique charm. Nine Lives ... by Alice Grant Rocman . . . Thomas Allen Limited . Price $2.35.

"And it cam* ' < pan about eight days after these saying*. that he took with him Peter and John and Jams*, and went up into the mountain to pray."

The word 'transfiguration* itself is not found in any form in Luke's ac- count, but occurs in Matthew and Mark, and gives the name to this particular experience. Can we ascertain the nature of the change which war here undergone by our Lord? We seem to be justified in saying that there was some actual physical change in our Lord's body. While emphasis ia placed upon the shining of His face, it is He who was transfig- ured, u though the change they saw in his countenance was but the visible manifestation of a change that had taken place la Hit entire body. Mo., and Elijah Appear 80. "And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah, 81. Who ap- peared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem." The. importance of the death of Christ is here greatly emphasized, as M is in every other par. of the New Testament, by the fact that ft formed the one major theme of conversation between these tw* great Old Testament characters and the Son of God. Peter'* Suggestion 82. "Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when Jiey were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 88. And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said." The tabernacles were little booths or huts, such as were con- structed for the feast of Taber- nacles, made out of branches of trees and bushes. Peter and hie fellows were so taken with the- sight of the felicity they saw, that they desired to abide on the mount with Jesus and the saints. Voice From Heaven 34.

A cloud ia the constant symbol, er if not always this, the accompaniment, of the divine presence. 86. "And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him." One of the three heavenly voices which ipake of Christ during His public ministry: (1) at His baptism; (2) at His transfiguration; (3) in the Temple court, before His seizure, when all was ready for the final sacrifice. The A.tonished DUciple* 8C. "And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man In those days any of the things which they had seen." Luke him- self does not record the astonish-: ment which these disciples knew at this hour, but Matthew does, in the words "they fell on their face and were sort afraid," which is followed by one of the most beautiful short sentences in all the New Testament, "And Jesus came and touched them and said, arise, and be not afraid." The Father'* Cry 87. "And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. 38. And behold, a man from the mul- titude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech Thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child: 89. And behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foam- eth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely. 40. And I besought thy disciples to east H out; and they could not." First this father asked the disciples of Christ to deliver the boy, but they, to their ..shame, were impotent to help. Then he asked the Lord. The Lord is never helpless. The Lord is never lacking in sufficient strength for delivering any person from the bondage of sin. Chri.t Rebuke* The People 41. "And Jesus answered and aaid, faithless and perverse gen- eration, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son." Here is a case where Jesus allows His deep feel- ing to come out in words. Pain, nd disappointment wring this cry from His heart. Chri.t Rebuke* The Demon 42. "And as he was yet a com- ing, the demon dashed him down, and tore him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43. And they were all astonished at the majesty of God." How wonderful that the bondage which had so tragically kept this boy in pain and misery should be instantly broken the moment the Lord Jesus spoke to this evil being. Christ came to save us from our sins, and from every evil power; He has always won when in conflict with evil, and He can win in your life to- day, defeating any power that has held us in bondage, bringing us into liberty and joy and strength, at once, and forever.
