SWEDEs YEARN FOR AMERICA

STOCKHOLM, April 24 - America fever" again has broken out in various parts of Sweden, ac- cording to statistical reports. This term is applied by the opponents of emigration to the yearnings of young men and women to seek their fortunes in the United States.
 More than one thousand persons left Sweden for America during January and February of this year as against fewer than three hundred for the same period last year. Vir- tually all of these emigrants are we'll supplied with funds to cover their travelling expense, and most of them have relatives who will help them out when they arrive. ...
 Sweden's quota under the United States immigration law is about 10000 per year. . ....

MINNEAPOLIS HOTEL TO HAVE
 RADIO PLUGS IN EACH ROOM

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24-In keeping with the rapid progress of the radio movement, it will soon be possible to "listen in" from rooms of a large hotel here, which has contracted for the connecting of each of several hundred rooms with radio plugs. The guest will have to invest in a receiving set, as head phones may be rented for small fee from the clerks office.
 According to the plan of engin- eers who have worked on the scheme for several weeks, a mas sive aerial and three power receiv- ing stations will be equipped in one of the top floors of the hotel. Each room will have radio plug con- nected to one of the three re- celVlng sets. Feaslblllty of the plan was proved recently when more than 100 rooms listened in on one concert.
 The guest who wishes radio en- tertainment may call the office and set of phones will be sent to him. Once connected in the plug, the set cannot be removed until re- leased by hotel employe, thus in- surfing against theft by any unscru- pulous guest. A small fee is added to the hotel bill for the use of the receiving phones.

SAHARA DESERT WAS GARDEN OF EDEN, SCIENTIST DECLARES

LONDON, April 24-In the past there have been many guesses and speculations as to, the location of the Garden of Eden. Professor Sir Arthur Keith, featuring before the Royal Society, treated a scientific audience to some original ideas of his own on the subject.
 He said that in the liar distant past" the Sahara and the vast deserts of Arabia and the area stretching to Mongolia were blooming"
 That large tract was really the Garden of Eden, man was driven from it not by flaming sword but by a flaming sun. Every type of man could be found round that Garden of Eden. .> .-*.>... ...
 1t is possible to go far beyond the days of Abraham and Tubal Cain and his smithy. It should be re- alized that Egypt and Babylonia were only remnants of a past civil ization. Civilized man, I am convinc- ed, is far older than is at present  generally believed"

COMMITTEE BUSY LISTENING
 GUEssES IN ANNUAL POOL

The work of listing guesses in the annual Nenana ice pool is pro gressing steadily under the direc- tion of the Ice Pool committee and it is expected that all of the tickets will have been properly registered within the next few days, after which the lists will be ready for the breakup.

One guesser mark ed April on his ticket and another picked April 31 for the breakup. Up to the present time it has been necessary to eliminate about 20 tickets and more probably will be thrown out before the listing is completed.
 Of the 13,ooo tickets printed, 1O,735 were disposed of as follows Nenana, 5,8O7; Fairbanks 1465; Anchorage 800; Eska 749; Suntrana 656; Panama 500; William Hammer ITO; Mckinley Park 115; Seward l10; R. J. Flames 100; J. NJ. Reiter 100; Harry Lane 89; A. St. J. Me Auley 50; miscellaneous 25.
 The following sale of tickets was recorded in Nenana: Terminal 3,446; Portland 806; Railroad Cigar Store 729; Club 387, A. J. Ghezzi 34S; Cooney hotel 76; miscellaneous 20.
 The committee reports that all arrangements have been made for re- gistering the time of the breakup. The flag has been placed in posi- tion, with wires leading to the clock in the power house. When the ice moves the clock will be stopp- ed automatically and the whistle at the power house will sound the gen. eral alarm.
