AVERAGE PERSON EATS 58 A
 YEAR, ALSO GRAPEFRUIT

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.-The av- craze person in the United States and Canada now eats during a year 5S oranges, 5 grapefruit and 16 lemons, according to the annual report of E. G. Dezel1, general manager of the Cal ifornia Fruit Growers nxchange, of Los Angeles, which was issued today.

BIG LAND BRIDGE
 ONCE CONNECTED
 ALASAAND ASIA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The navy through it's projected expedition to explore ocean depths and their life, looks forward to aiding in solving the problems of today and yesterday.
 One of these grows out of the fact that every year the Mississippi river dumps into the Gulf of Mexico vast quantity of mud with an effect not heretofore fully appreciated.
 A study of the sea bottom between Northern Siberia and Alaska might uncover interesting data concerning the supposed land bridge that long ago linked two continents, Dr. E. w. Nelson, chief of the Bureau of Bio logical Survey informed the confer ence.
 Tt is believed that north of Ber- ing Sea a great land bridge once con- nected Asia with Alaska and thus made road across which came most of our big game and many ot our smaller animals.

CONDUCT OF BUREAU
 AGENT HELD IMPROPER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. H. Action of the bureau of internal rev enue officials in the tax settlements of the Richard Croker estate was ap- proved today by the committee in vestigating the bureau, but the con- duct of George B. Walker, the bureau agent who handled the case, was de- scribed as improper due to misjudg- ment. The case revolved around a complaint made by Walker against the bureau officials, who he charged had interfered with his invstigation of the estate by attempting to prevent him from opening the Croker safety deposit box at the First National Bank of Palm Beach, Florida.
 Testimony, Chairman Couzens said, brought out that Walker disregarded instructions from his superiors and opened the box, discovering S117,0O0 in bonds and municipal transfers not included in the estate.

GOVERNMENT BY.
 "OPENS C0ALLAND

The Matanuska coal field, which
 contains one of the most valuable coal reserves in Alaska, extends from an area near tidewater at the head of Knik Arm, an inland extension of Cook Inlet, eastward to the upper valley of the Matanuska River, reach ing a point within eight miles of the Matanuska glacier. The Matanuska branch of the new Government rail- road taps this coal field and draws from it much of the fuel used on that railroad.
 Although the coal bearing formation is of the same age throughout the field, the coal shows a wide range in character At the west end of the field, where the beds are only a little deformed, the coal is a Ignite. Farther east, at Moose and Eska Creeks, where the beds are somewhat folded and faulted, they contain bi- tuIHinous coal of good grade, which is now being profitably mined to an extent justified by the market de- mand. Here several mines are now producing about 1000 tons a month. Still farther east, in the vicinity of Chickaloon, the terminus of the Mat anuSka branch of the railroad the coal is bituminous coking coal of the first rank, but the structure of the beds is more complex than at Moose Creek. The coals of the highest grade, which are found on Anthracite Ridge, 12 miles east of ChicIaaloon, include anthracite of su- perior qulaity, but the beds are high ly complex in structure. No at tempt has yet been made to mine this anthracite.
 Surveys Made in Matanuska Valley
 The part of the Matanuska Valley that includes the area near Chicka- loon and hte area immediately east of It form what is generally known as the upper Matanuska Valley. A sur vey of the Upper Matanuska Valley. an Hrea which is about ten miles wide and extends eighteen miles eastward from Chickaloon, was completed in 1924 by s. R. Capps of the Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. whose work supplemented a survoy of part of this area made in 1912 oy G. c. Martin and associates. The

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON
TO BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW.
DEAR BEE:

LEAN DEE.
You will say never write you I'M
less / have something to tell you
that is not particularly pleasant, a
problem which ! do not trust my
moral stamina to work out
Sometimes, dear, / have wondered
why you cling to me. Women as a
rule don't like me. In fact, I think
Leslie never cared particularly for me,
she only tolerated me because of you.
l guess I'm too independent to fit
into those conventions which women
make for themselves. Sam says that
my moral standards are those Of q
man. Then, of course, ask him why
shouldn't they be and tell him I am
human. After that the fight is on
again.
Marriage a Cure?
1 wonder If 1t is true, Bee, that
marriage is a cure for love. You
know all those old lovers, Goethe,
Heine and the rest--even old DR..
Johnson, who always seemed to me
to be a perfect old pig of a man
declared that marriage was of all
things the greatest cure for love. I
have begun to think so.
You know I was desperately in love
with Sam when we worked together
in the Office and we were both poor.
Our combined salaries hardly sufflced
to make us a home.
That Is another fallacy. Bee, that
! has gained undeserved credence. Two
/ people cannot live as cheaply as one
1t costs two people who are married
more than twice as much as that for
which one person could live alone.
You always want to buy things for
a permanent home. You are always
trying to add this and that to your
home. You are never satisfied after
marriage with a hall bedroom and
cafeteria food. There are so many
things to keep UP after you are mar
ried, and man looks so dreadful, Bee.

After all, marriage is supposed to
be a partnership for life.
When a man enters a partnership
to start a new business, he expects
to have a hard struggle for a few
years. He knows. for one thing, that
he and his partner must adjust them
selves to each others ways and that,
to be successful, he must help
strengthen his partner in his weak
points. and be ready to accept advice
about his own weaknesses.
So 1t is in marriage. There must
be the same few years Of adjustment,
and forbearance.
A man who gives up easily can
never make a success of business.
Neither can a man or woman who
gives up easily make a success of
marriage.
