QUARTET OF THOMPSONS HELP TRACK CHAMPIONS BOSTON, July G.—Northeast ern University’s undefeated track and field team owes much of its success this year to its four Thompsons, all runners and un related. Tin; team is champion of the Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic association and holds victories over Boston University and Colby College and others.

World Currency Situation Is Showing Improvement GENEVA, July 6.—A definite improvement in the currency sit uation is the first outstanding fact in the economic and financial re covery of the world, says Albert Thomas, director of the Inter national Labor Bureau, who made a detailed report on International conditions to the International La bor Conference here. Mr. Thomas, who was a mem ber of the French cabinet during the war, says he thought French currency had already been stabil ized in fact and that practical or legal stabilization was also ef fected in Argentine and Brazil. Evidence of currency reform seemed to him to be found in the reconstitution of sayings, the re opening of credits, increased fi nancial balances and lowering of interest rates. He remarked that the total loans placed in the Unit ed States, Great Rritain, the Neth erlands and Switzerland by vari ous countries had risen from $1, (153,000,000,600 in 1924 to $2,451, 000,000,000 ill 1927. Nevertheless Thomas emphasiz ed that the economic situation is still difficult in a number of countries, almost reaching the stage of crisis in certain economic fields. The difficulty is in adapt ing buying power to produce power—as witness the situation in the coal industry in Europe, which is suffering from over pro duction. Thomas believes that the problem is In finding means of ^ringing the market's power of absorption into litre with the pro ductive capacity of men and ma chines. Three Generations of Hoovers

STONE AGE MAN FOUND ALEUTIANS _ Discovery Reported by Me-1 Cracken Expedition Now to Westward NEW YORK, July 6.—Discov-j ery of what Is believed to be the mummified remains of a Stone Age man, is described in a dis patch to the New York Times from Harold McCracken, head of the expedition of the American Museum of Natural History to the Aleutian Islands. Four mummified bodies, three adults and one infant, were found on a summit of an almost inaccessible island, along with {clothing and domestic articles, hunting weapons and other things that went with the burial in the early barbarian days. The burial tomb bore evidence of Mongolian influence but noth ing to indicate contact with an cient and modern civilization. The vault is made well-shaped, of mortised drift logs, held to gether by bone nails and was wedged in a rock crevice. The lining of the vault was of cured otter skins. The vault Is divid ed into two parts. In one was the man, evidently of high rank. In the other part were two adults and the body of a child. The body of the ancient Ice King was clothed in otter sklus. Surrounding the skirt were bird skins and both were elaborately decorated. Around the body were skins t.f animals, surmounted by a layer of woven grass. The whole was enclosed in a parch ment like layer of sea lion intes tines. The other bodies were less; elaborately dressed and are be lieved to have been servants. Friendship Tree Plot Key Is Given to U. S. i WASHINGTON, July (i. A golden key to the bronze fence enclosing the tree of friendship at Havana has been received from the Cuban government by Secre tary Kellogg of the department of state. The tree, the roots of which are embedded in the soil of 21 na tions, was planted with elaborate ceremony last February 24, on the Camp de Marte, Havana, during the sixth international conference of American states. President Machado, officials of the Cuban government, members of the dip lomatic corps and delegates to the conference were present. Soil from a historic hacienda of Cuba was placed at the base by President Machado, after which a representative of each of the other 20 nations, to the strains of Ills national air, deposited earth from his country. That from the United States came from Mount Vernon, Washington's home on the banks of the Potomac in Vir ginia. The golden key is a replica of that presented to each of the 21 nations, and probably will be placed in the Pan-American Union building here. Wild Animals Marketed At Indo-China Fair BAN-MB-THUOT. Indo-China, July 6. Man-eating tigers, ele phants, lions, monkeys, bears or any other wild beasts may be had here at the world’s first Jungle fair. Menagerie men used to organize their own expeditions to capture circus animals, but the wild ani mal business is on a department store basis now. Prices are not always marked in plain figures, for this part of the world dearly loves to bargain, but the first ses sion of the fair, held recently, es tablished fairly definite market prices for jungle beasts. Prices have gone up since the war, but not much more than is justified by the depreciation of money. Good elephants sell for $2,000 and and up, lions are cheap at $40 for the moth-eaten variety and $400 for those with fearsome roars and lordly manners, hand some tigers with splendid appe tites go for $200 and leopards art! panthers for even less. These prices are "cash and car ry” figuqgs. The purchaser may lead his Bengal tiger home with a string If he wishes, but the jungle market men suggest bring ing a strong cage. The market is well started, and the natives promise a steany sup ply of whatever is wanted Romantic Rise of an East Side Urchin ELECT CP To Trtt 'M.V STATE ASSEMBLY TOUR. TIMES elected GOVERNOR.

ROME-BELGRADE FRIENDSHIP PACT FACING DANGERS BELGRADE, July 6. The Jugo Slav government faces a diplo matic problem of first magnitude this month with the expiration of the treaty of friendship with Italy. Increasing concern is manifest in foreign office circles. The treaty has already been extended six months and there seems no possi bility of postponing longer ihe de cision between renewing the in strument or denouncing it. The main difficulty in the vay of the renewal of this pact of friendship is the Nettuno Conven tions, in 1924, but have never been ratified by the Jugoslav parliament. I^f. Nintchitch, who was minis ter for foreign affairs when they were drawn up, resigned owing tc his failure to get these conven tions ratified and ow.ng to Italy's action in signing n Tirana pact with Albania without r,rst inform ing her friendly and interested neighbor. The Jugoslav government la eager to do all in its power to make possible the renewal of the pact of fi endship with their larg est and mos; dtfficui neighbor and it Is understood that the Italians have made the ratification of the Nettuno Con ntions a condition precedent to negotla'ions for this renewal. Th" Jugoslav govern* meat has accepted the conventions and given Dr. Mb'inkoviich, the foreign minister, permission to bring them before parliament tor k ratification.

Johnny and Charlie Hines have been together in the motion pic ture studio since the old days of the “Torchy Comedies.” which were produced by C. C. Burr, still the guiding mentor of the come dian. When Johnny made his Tirst fea ture length comedy, Brother Char lie handled the megaphone and took charge of all of the director ial detail for each picture leading to his “lucky eleventh,” which is| a fast moving tale of New York theatrical and political life, en hances by some jazy shots of George White's "Scandals.” Mary Brian is opposite the star. “KOSHER KITTY KELLY” j SHOWING AT COLISEUM e Roarlng with comedy, filled with funny family fights, and neighbor ly feuds, “Kosher Kitty Kelly,” F.B.O.’s latest Gold Bond Special, now showing at tho Coliseum Theatre, is a mountain of mirth.

The road is in good condition and is used by automobiles in the sum mer and by caterpillars in the win ter. “Iditarod, which was once an im portant mining center has dwindled until it is little but a trading post and point of transfer of freight from the boats to the road. “The landing field at Flat is about 2 miles out from town, to which it Is connected by a road on which some Improvements will be made.” Eskimo Village From Flat the party flew to Unalakleet, an Eskimo village which Is supported principally by reindeer herding.

Nome Show3 Activity “Nome shows great activity an much is expected during the err ing summer, in gold dredging aad reindeer culture. There is quite n comprehensive road system rad‘ iting from Nome, connecting with ill of the mining camps. The Vomc-Shelton tram, which is 8(> •nlles long, is being maintained to serve the prospecting opera ions in the Kugarok region, which •ontains promising placer ground and some quartz. “This tram is used to supply that area anil for the transporta tion of ditch supplies in and about Nome. “Important developments have taken place In the Osborn Creek area, and an extension of tne Os born road has been authorized to facilitate these operations.” Major Elliott said.

The field ne’ds no improvement at this tiir.e.” At Wiseman, the farthest north I point reached by the party, the' landing field is on flat ground just back of the town, and i.c In good condition. Major Killed said. “From W.seman there ’i a road to the Nolan creek area which serves the prospectors working in that vicinity. Reports were made at Wiseman that new deposits I have been found in Bottles' riven north of Wiseman. It is exp« ct ed during the present year to mak a reconnaissance into that area to determine the practicability of con struction of a road or trail into the country. "We then flew to Circle dot Springs where the landing field is in good condition. Circle was avoided for the reason that the only landing field there is on a sandbar, and was under water. i The Yukon Highway "Circle is the northern terminal of the Yukon Highway, on which active work is in progress this year, and which will be cmpleted for the beginning of next sea ton. This will give a through highway from Valdez, on the fiulf of Alas ka, to Circle, on the Yukon Rive'-, through Fairbanks The CircJe Fairbanks road, is of the highest importance for the maintenance of ditch lines serving thp dredges in the Fairbanks area,” Mr lor El-j llott declared.

There is real cause for gratification in the organization of the International Alaskan Cruise Club, its charter members being those sportsmen who participated in the first and most highly successful Capital to Capital Yacht Ilace from Olympia, Washington, to this pert. It can do much to stimulate interest in this peer of all cruising grounds for small as well as larger yachts. As several of the contesting captains pointed out at the banquet given in their honor, it took, as Or .Edward Rich phrased it. "tubular organs hack of the stomach w'alls —and there is a shorter and mere forceful phrase used in the I vernacular to set out over the course. It was not only a test of machinery and craft but of men as well. Upon those who meet all these requirements, it is meet that same distinction of a lasting nature be conferred. Certainly a membership certificate in such a club as pro positi by Dr. Rich, and whose successful organi zation has just been heralded, will be a badge of such distinction. It will be a coveted and precious possession to those who are fortunate enough to win it. It will be an all important factor in future races. It is, in fait, an earnest of the in-J tention of these sportsmen to keep alive the Capital to Capital Race as an annual event. It can, and probably will, do more than any other single agency in enlisting a wide support from individual yachtsmen and yachting clubs. May it have a long and successful existence with an ever-growing list of membership. REAPING MATERIAL BENEFITS. Maybe Lindbergh, Ryrtl and Chamberlin did not have in mind stimulation of aircraft exports from the United States when they took the air for trans-Atlantic flights last year, very prob ably the possibility of their flights having any effect upon commerce did not even occur to them. Ilut the way export sales jumped in the succeed ing months, particularly the gains made during the current calendar year indicate that these flights were not without their influence. Sales of aviation equipment abroad this year are run ning approximately 40 per cent, ahead of a year ago, figures compiled by the Department of Commerce show. The value of such exports to May 1, last, was $1,050.2(12. In the same period in 1027 only $444,113 worth was sold. Complete planes form the hulk of aircraft ex ports. 63 airplanes and seaplanes have beer shipped abroad this year with an aggregate value of $622,434. In 1!I27, shipments totaled 14 planes worth $263,Sal. Aircraft parts priced at $278,261 and engines at $158,567 complete the list to May 1. Last year sales of parts amounted to $89,04,3 and engines to $81,219. Lindbergh’s flight lirst attracted attention to American equipment. He was the Ideal sales man for his solo lliglit from New York to Paris was of the nature to get publicity far beyond the ordinary. Byrd and Chamberlin kept the publicity going. Undoubtedly the main reason for the big gain in exports this year was in the publicity accompanying their feats. GOV. SMITH J’ROMI'T, The very first action of Gov. Alfred E. Smith as Democratic Presidential nominee was to not ify the Houston convention prior to its adjourn ment that he would carry his ideas on Prohibi tion before the country in a nationwide speak ing campaign during the late Summer and Fall months. And he took steps to see that the con vention and the public at large understood him by redefining his own position in National Pro hibition. It seems clear, also, that he believes present conditions arising from the preposterous Volstead Act have disgusted a very large element of Americans and is not afraid to go before the country as the apostle of State Rights and local self-government by means of iWtich he is con vinced a betterment can be obtained even under the Eighteenth Amendment. If in recent weeks, during the tag-end of the pre-convention campaign, there were some who doubted that Gov. Smith had the courage of his convictions, basing that skepticism on his sijence on Prohibition, his telegram to the Hous ton conclave and the public statement issued from Albany on its heels must disperse that doubt. His own position is advanced beyond that assumed by the party in the platform adopted by the Houston convention. The latter in pledg ing itself to the enforcement of the Prohibition Act Is In perfect accord with Gov. Smith’s views on that subject. Nothing could be more in cisive and to the point than his declaration: If it is the will of the people of this nation that 1 am to take oath as Presi dent to protect and defend our Con stitution and laws, I will execute that oath to the limit of my ability without reservation or evasion. Those who are most familiar with his record as Governor of New York need no further pledge than that. Rut he goes further into the Prohibition problem. He plainly tells the country he is con vinced there should be fundmental changes in present provisions for National Prohibition. He does not believe the Federal Government has any right to ask any State to enact statutes for the enforcement of Federal laws as it has done with respect to Prohibition. Nor does he believe that the politicians, or people of any State have the right to arbitrarily tell the people of any other commonwealth what they should do in the mat ter. But he does champion the right of the people of each State to deal with the subject of Prohibition as they shall deem wise and proper so long as they keep within the terms of the Constitution. It is the duty of the courts to decide whether statutes they may enact do or dc not violate its terms. The position may nc.t be identical with the policy outlined in the Democratic platform. Hut it cannot be said to be diseonsonant with the traditional principles of the Jeffersonian party. It may not present an ideal solution to the Pro hibition problem. Hut there are millions of voters to whom it will appeal as offering a solu tion for many of the more striking evils that have followed in the wake of National Prohibi tion find which are accentuated rather than ameliorated as the sumptuary era grows older. Politics and Prohibition. (Boston News Bureau.) Once there was a resonant agitation to “take the tariff out of politics.” (That was before the party still professing "tariff reform” in the ab stract became crowded with local protectionists in the concrete.) Today the slogan should per haps be amended to "take prohibition out of politics.” It would be a grand and glorious relief to political helmsmen and platform-builders of all party faiths to obtain such a devoutly wished consummation. Ever since the amendment and the interpretative enforcing act were mortised into the Constitution and the statue book it has been a plague to both parties to say something satisfactory, yet inoffensive. It usually meant generalities about enforcement of all law that were as meaningless as they were glittering. Laws arc in essense supposedly meant to be enforced; why talk about it? Save, perhaps, such stray statutes as happen to seem destined clearly for eventual repeal or seem to court the sort of general ignoring that betrays a clear lack of social conscience in their support. And of course its ardent advocates would never agree that prohibition was ever in any such class—like old “blue laws” or like con stitutional amendments which are quietly forgot ten about in places. For 1928 there is to be recorded a notable advance in courage and in candor. It began at Kansas City, with the Borah doctrine triumphing over the Butler. The great achievement was to bemome finally specific; to dare even to whisper the word prohibition, and to mention amendment and act. Although everyone in the country, of reasoning if not yet of voting age, knew that prohibition was meant in those earlier ringing but idle words about law enforcement. Now the scene has shifted to Houston—-that same arid region where other ccnstitutional amendments are not too deeply studied. With Smith apparently the sure nominee, the early spotlight goes to prohibition. Out of the clash of strong opinions three camps seem to have emerged,—the extremists either wringing “wet” or aridly and bitterly “dry" and in between them the middle-of-the-road element reported to have reached a satisfactory agreement with Smith spokesmen. It would have been Indeed a huge political joke were the New York Governor to have been named on a platform wholly suitable to the “dry" fanatics. But the prospect rather is that once again a positive word will be spoken for “en forcing" whatever the law calls for concerning prohibition. Yet that does not exclude indi vidual belief that perhaps a better law could later be enacted. It has been calmly argued by some folks that matters like prohibition hardly belong in the Constitution and statute. Have parties and their conventions, so much less calm, been indiretly proving that theorem? An Estimate of Hardy. (New York Times.) The Cornhill Magazine continues to print within its quiet buff covers matter worthy of its Thaekerayan youth. George King has a dis cussion of Thomas Hardy's work. As the great old man of Dorchester fades further into the shadows, the larger grow the outlines of his gallery of English characters. Ironist and pes simist Mr. King finds the author of “The Re turn of the Native," poet once (in “The Dynasts"), cynic never. Hardy seems to him the grim but sympathetic narrator of inexorable fate, preventing those made for happiness from being happy, as with Toss, and frustrating those craving education, as with Jude. Mr. King adds that what Dickens was to Lon don folk Hardy was to the country people of England. But “there is little of the love of the hedgerow in his books. It is of the moor land, the woods, the fields, the sky, the wind, the rain that he writes." They are an integral part of his narrative: what Egdon Heath was in the lives of Yeobright, Gabriel Oak and the Reddleman. Mr. King repeats the story that the criticisms of his treatment of sex in “Tess" so preyed upon Hardy’s sensitiveness that he wrote no more novels and turned to poetry. This was a mere incident in his literary life, though it lasted for thirty years, while the poems of Hardy’s con temporary, George Meredith, form “the most en during part” of his. ’’The Mayor of Casterbridge" is given first rank among the novels, an estimate in conformity with the sustained popularity of that book here. Hut America, which has almost forgotten Scott, may be surprised to learn that Mr. King thinks that only Sir Walter, among all novelists, main tained so high a level for three successive tales as Hardy did in “The Mayor," “The Woodland ers and "Tess.” I he ommunist candidate for President must feel slighted because the Senate Committee made no move to investigate his campaign expenses tIndianapolis Star.)

Laugh 'Em Off if You Can The men also are lucky to have something to leave on when the spring doesn't warm up enough to make shedding a treat. The pretty girl has all the luck, she always can get a man and al ways get acquitted for shooting him after she gets tired of him. Probably many a man dates with red hot mammas because the mam ma in his home is such a human iceberg. About the best that can be said for some girls' faces is that they afford a parking space for their organs of smell and sight and a lot of paint. Some husbands would be pretty near ideal if their wives didn’t need so much money to keep up with the Joneses. A young woman thinks choosing between a career and marriage is a serious question to decide, but she'll run up against a more ser ious one when she reaches that time where she has to decide be tween being hungry and fat. A man buys an umbrella to keep off the rain, but when a wo man buys one it has to match her costumes and be more ornamental than useful—like her hgndker chlefs. It is easy to understand why so much is spent for silk hosiery, but not quite so easy to figure why so much should be squandered on stuff for the face. Some men never regret taking a bath and others have to listen to their wives express their opin ion of the way the bathroom has been left. ..M I SAM SHABALDAK THE TAILOR I has moved to his new location on Front I Street, opposite the Coliseum.

Old papers ior sate at The Empire GIRLS SOLD BY CHINESE PEKING, July G.—The while slave trade—if it can be called that among the Chinese—follows greedily in the trail of famine that stalks through a wdde belt south of Peking. Missionary re ports disclose that in the inns of many towns in southern Chihli procurers from Shansi province have set up agencies to buy young girls from starving parents. In Shantung children, hoys and girls alike, are being sold into labor slavery to become farm workers or household drudges. It is difficult to estimate the extent of this practice, for no one wants it known that starvation has brought him to this pass. Moth ers have drowned their children rather than sell them or see them starve.

Led by Hob by Jones, who has averaged win j uing two national golf titles a year j for three years, the United States bids fair to retain the Walker cup, the international trophy over which (iteat llritain and America have fought since 1922, and which has gone to the Yanks in every in 1 stance. This year’s contest will be played at the Chicago Golf club, 1 August :io to September 1. With Jones, as captain of the 1928 squad, turning in good cards, the experts sec little ahead ex cept “a bigger and better year than ever" for The Iron Duke. In addition to Bobby’s wizard ry, America will have Chick Kvans who has been figuring In national tournaments since 1915, as the i oldest “steadying head" on thi squad. Kvans. like Jones, h 's long been a master of the game in all I details being equally sound with iron and wood clubs and on tilt I greens. While the others are probably j less noted for their deeds on tin fairways, all are top-notebers. George Von Kim, of California, lias had the experience of beating Jones out for the American tuna teur crown. Watts Gunn, an exhibition partner of Jones of late, aside from being the national In tercolleglate champion, was run i ner up to his famous friend In 1925 in the national amateur at Oakmont. Jess Sweetster was the first American ever to win the British amateur title, winning that event in 1920. Harrison Johnston and Holand MacKenzie have scon theii golfing stars twinkle brighter dui lng the past few years than ever. All of the squad members this year were on the 1920 team with the exception of Evans and John ston. These two take the places of Jesse Guilford and Robert Gard ner. No matches were played in 1927. In the 1920 matches, played at St. Andrews, Scotland, America won (P/4 to 5%, superior play in j tho fuursmoes enabling the team to retain the cup. Gunn, probably tho youngest member of the team, defeat ml W. Brownlow, It and S, in the l!)3fi play ami paired with Jones to tie-j feat Cyril Tolley and Arthur! Jamieson, 1 and 3, In th? four-1 somes. Sweefster also won his slngl< a match that year, beating Sirj Mi Host Hdderness, 4 and while Jones defeated Tolley, 13 and 11.

Best in Years Is General Opinion—Rev. R. A. Gailey Orator One of the beat days, for weatn er, out of the many days which there have been lately prevailing, July Fourth, was celebrated on Douglas Island in an unusually ^'satisfactory manner. All the etents of the day passed off as scheduled and were enjoyed by a large crowd. Dance Liberally Attended Starting on the evening of the third, the celebration opened with a 'dance in Eagles’ hall, which proved to be one of the most en joyed events of that kind for some time. A large crowd attended I from Juneau, a special ferry tak ing the visitors home at 2:30 o'clock in the morning. Patriotic Exercises Rev. K. A. Gailey, of Juneau, Fourth of July speaker, delivered one of the best patriotic address es 1 ever listened to in Douglas. Describing the ear(y trials con fronting the founders of our na tion 152 years ago. llev. Gailey brought out the wonderful ideals upon which the constitution of out*- nation was founded, that makes America the mo3t perfect union in the world today. The bugle and drum corps of Juneau also made a hit as a moat appropriate part of the exercises lending a real spirit to the occa sion. A vocal number by Mrs. Glen Kirkham, and songs by the audience, completed the program. Outdoor Sports Complete Day The hose races following im mediately upon the patriotic ex ercises, created the first excite ment of the day. Two teams, captained by Roscoo Laughlin and Mike Pusich, each composed of five men, made spectacular runs with the fire truck, making hose connections, etc., the latter win ning the prize of $50.00, half of Which wa3 divided between, the winners and half donated to the fire department. At 1 o’clock the baseball game,! between the miners and the fire-! men, was the big feature on the program, providing all the fhrills of a big league contest. For the first four innings the score stood 1 to 1, each making their first i point in the second. Then thej fireworks started, and when the, fifth inning ended the miners were flvti points ahead; another inning and they were another five points ahead; score 12 to 2. Then dam fortune began to smll$ upon the firemen, and the seventh gave two for them, none for the miners; th eighth eight points for the firemen to one for the miners and the last inning saw the firemen tie their husky opponents with the lone score of the final stanza; total .score 13 to 13. The batter ies were L. Cashen for the miners and Balog and Niemi for the fire men; umpire Jim Manning. Late ness of the hour, with the long list of other field events to come prevented the teams from play ing off the tie, anil the $75 prize money was divided between all players.

“MARRIED ALIVE" AT LIBERTY TONIGHT 1 "Tf—_-_j» "Married Alive”, the Fox Film production coining to the Liberty tonight, is said to be one of the cleverest bits of satire on the; problems of polygamy ever screen ed. Dealing, as it does, with the theories of a serious, though ab sent minded professor of philoso phy and a modern Bluebeard, it provides a rare mixture of comedy and romance. Lou Tellogen is cast as the handsome James Duxbury whose surprising matrimonial adventures get him into such troubles. Matt Moore i3 the timid professor who advooates polygamy. Margaret Livingpton, Claire Ad ams, Marcella Daly and Emily Fitzroy, each of them representa tive of entirely different types, are the wtvevs of Dou Tellegen.

RECORD OF TOTAL WINS MAY FALL BEFORE YANKS NEW YORK, July G —The New York Yankees loom up as a threat to the major league record ot games won in a season, establish ed by the Chicago Cubs of 190C. Flashing the great Tinkers-to Evers-to-Chance trio, the Bruins turned In 11G victories to win the pennant. At the beginning of the present week the Yankees had a record of 36 games won and eight lost, representing iwo-seventh3 of their schedule or 154 games. Should they continue at that speed until the close of the season, which would be asking something of the team, mighty as the Yanks are, they would finish with 126 vic tories and 28 defeats.

Nature Obeys Law of Supply and Demand YELLOWSTONE PAilK, Wyo., July f>. Nature’s adherence to the law of supply and demand is emphasized this year by the great increase of Gila chipmunks In tlie Grand Oanycn, which had a bumper crop of pinion nuts last fall. Pinion nuts make up a large part of this animal's diet. Many nuts are still on the ground, so the chipmunks have no difficulty satisfying themselves, and sev eral may he seen scurrying about where only one might have been observed had the crop been less bountiful. Ibis increase in chipmunk population can hardly endure, however, since I he decline in supply (f nuts will noon bring about keen competition for the food and the number of rodens will diminish.

WEISEL HERE FROM A TRIP TO WESTWARD! Makes Extensive Tour— Reports Forest Fire Loss Is Large There seems to be no appre ciation of the value of timber in the future economic life of; Alaska, according to George F. Weigel, assistant manager of the Juneau Lumber Mills, who re-! turned here yesterday from a sev eral weeks trip to the Westward I and Interior. Along the Hichardson Highway Mr. Weisel observed numerous forest fires, and evidences of tires in preceding years which de struyed immense quantities of small growth timber. Along the Copper River and Northwestern Railway there were also many! burned areas, he said. Such devastations not only drive cut the fur bearing animals but j also deprive the prospectors and mining intersts of material for j cabins and other buildings as well as fuel, he declared. >There appears to he much in- j terest in the Interior in pros-! peeling for new districts,” con-! tinued Mr. Weisel.

RICE Plumbing Heating Sheet Metal “I tell you in advance what job will cost” j NOTED AUTHOR HERE ON YACHT Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Ed ward White in Juneau on the “Simba” Having been in Alaskan waters since early May, the Simba, 58 foot, delsel powered yacht owned by Steward Edward White, noted author, came into Juneau yester day morning for the first time this year. The boat was rushed in from Manus Hay with a sick engineer aboard, and its famous owner was at the wheel during tiie entire night. The Simba will main in Juneau until late this fternoon when the cruise will he continued with an engineer who was procured in Juneau, ac cording to Mr. White. Mr. and Mrs. White, who have traveled ail over the world, and have cruised for a number of years in British Columbia waters, came to .Southeastern Alaska for the first time last summer, and were so enthusiastic about the beauties of Alaskan scenery and the innumerable small bays and inlets, that they decided to make the Inside Passage their “summer home,” Mrs. White said. Fascinating Cruise ”1 do believe that this is the most fascinating cruise that we have ever had. The country is inexhaustible in its infinite var iety and number of lovely bays and harbors. The fishing is per fect, I think every member of our party should lie growing fins,” Mrs. White declared. With Mr. and Mrs. White on hoard the Simba, are Mr. and Mrs. Barnaby Conrad who live at Burlingame, near San Fran cisco, where the Whites also have their home. Mr. and Mrs. White boarded the Simba early this spring at Seattle, where the yacht is kept during the winter months, and came directly to Southeastern Alaska, where they have been cruising since early May. They stopped at Wrangell and Ketchi kan but had not p'unued to come into Juneau, until it became necessary to take Charles Drum, their engineer, into fhe hospital. They cruise without any defin ite plan or schedule, but usually slop in a different bay each night, Mrs. White said. In August, the Simba will pick up two more guests at Wrangell, and continue the Alaskan cruise until the end of August or early September. "I am doing no writing at all during this trip, hut am having a real vacation,” Mr. White said. “Sometime, perhaps, I will write an Alaskan hook, but not until I have found the story.” Robert Pinkerton, and Mrs. Pinkerton, who are also writers, mil their daughter, Barbara, who made the trip to Alaska on their own boat last year in company with the Whites, were unable to make the cruise, as they planned, this year, because of Mrs. Pink erton’s health, Mrs. White said.

Wild Bananas Have Seeds Like Bullets CHICAGO, July 6. It is not; impossible to bite into a banana j and break a tooth on a banana seed, but to do so one would have to eat one of several wild species of the fruit. Many uncultivated bananas have! seeds as large as hazel nuts and j as hard as bullets. New speci mens of the seeds have been plac i d in the Field Museum of Na tural History here. Seeds of the cultivated banana have degenerated into the black specks one sees in the center of the fruit, but how and when the change occurred is something sci ence does not know, according to Dr. li. E. Dahlgren, acting cura tor of botany at the museum. The cultivated banana is prop agated from sprouts instead of seeds.
