AMERICANS AGAIN WARNED
 BEWARE SPANISH SPINDLE

Washington.-The Spanish pris- oner swindle," which for nearly half a century has been carried or through the mails between Spain and the United States, has again been brought to the attention of the Department of State.
 The swindle, in general takes the form of letters from unknown core spondents in Spain, claiming kinship and asking help for a young and beautiful daughter, whose father writes from prison. Such letters should in all cases be disregarded as far as sending money is concerned, the Department of State advises, and inquiries regarding such letters should be sent to the Ameriran con- sul at Madrid.
 The writer of these letters, the De partment points out, usually states that he has abundant funds in some place generally described as a trunk or portmanteau, with 2 secret pocket, to obtain which :; bribe must be paid or. sourt costs settled to obtain the re- lease of the baggage
 The names of complaining victims receiving these letters in the United States have not been given out by the Department. but press dispatches from Mexico reported recently that mer- chant in the Mexican capital had paid S2,500 to obtain information as to the location of the gold treasure which

President Carranza of Mexico is re ported to have buried after his flight before the Obregon revolution of 1919.
 The alleged swindIe has been car ried on in various forms in core spondence with Americans, and the Department of State has issued vari- ous warnings against sending money in response to such appeals. The earliest of these official warnings, dated October, 1919, says the for tune" dangled before the recipient of the letter amounted to $30,000. The size of the fortune has since grown however, and in 1924 the sum men toned was $360,000.
 The letters sent out in that year were simpler in form, but several copies which were gathered together showed that while apparently written on cross-ruled paper of the type fur nished in cheap European cafes, had been reproduced in quantity by some mechanical process, with the address filled in in ink in the same hand writing:

 Alaska for the greater part of the Russian occupation. He was replaced as manager of the Russian American Company in ISIS under circumstances which showed small appreciation for the services rendered.
 Bancroft, in his History of Alas .ka," pays. this tribute to Baranof: "To him was due, more than to all others, the success of the Russian colonies in America; by him they had been found ed and fostered, and but for him they never would have been established, or would have had, at best, brief and troubled existence Here, amid these wintry solitudes, he had raised towns and villages, built fleet of seagoing ships, and. laid basis4cf trade with American and Asiatic portsAll Il this he had accomplished while paying reg ular dividends to shareholders, and now in his old age be was cast adrift and called to render an account as an unfait!rul steward"
 English Exploration
 Captain James Cook, noted Eng fish navigator. who had conducted eX- tensive explorations in South America, sailed up the western coast of North America in IT'S, making his first ris- covery of the Alaska coast near the present site of Sitka. He then sailed northwestward.. naming. Cross Sound, Cape Fairweather and Controller Bay-Port Eaches on. present-day maps. He l.amed Cape Hinchinbrook, also Montague Island, the largest island in Prince William Sound, the name applied to the whole Inlet. He then rounded and named Cape Eliza beth and entered the inlet which bears his name and which he explored with the idea that a northwest passage to Europe lay in this direction. Thence he cruised along the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, touching at Un- alaska and Dutch. Harbor. He then entered Bering. Strait and continued northward through Bristol Bay, Nsr- ton Sound. and Bering, Strait En route he entered the mouth of the Kuskokwim river, discovered and named Sledge Island, near Nome, and King Islandr lying directly south of Boring Strait. On entering the Arctic Ocean he encountered heavy ice foes, which forced him to keep a~westerly course until he reached the Siberian coast at a promontory which he named Cape North. On the return voyage he stopped cat ,--the - Hawaiian. Islands. where he was killed in an encounter with the natives. Cook mapped and charted the. coastal region of Alaska from 58 degrees to 70 degrees north and added much to the worlds knowl- edge of this uneXplored section of the North American continent. Many Of his maps and charts stood the test of much more extended and scientific later investigations.
 The explorations of Cook north and west of 50 degrees were considered accurate but needed verification south of this point. There were also those who believed that .navigable passage might be discovered connecting the North Pacific with the Atlantic ocean in attitudes south of Boring Strait. This double mission was assigned to George Vancouver, who sailed from - England in 1791. Considerable ex- ploration work was performed south of the Alaska coast, and it was not until 1793 that the expedition reached sxxssasssIsEsssasExEas

Competition IN Words

One who goes into the market to buy motor
car today is naturally confused.
He has read the words best and greatest so
often that they have ceased to be convincing
Where all is best, he reflects, there can be
no best.
Thousand dollar cars have been descxibed
to him in ten-thousand dollar language. And
vice versa
He finds himself the target in war of adjec-
tives the helpless victim in gigantic COM
petition of words.
And so he is forced to rely on chance the
advice of friends or his own limited
experience.
Dodge Brothers, Inc, have never participated
in this verbal competition.
They are content with the position they have
long maintained in the far more vital compe-
tition of honest value.
They have continued steadily to improve their
product not only in comfort and beauty, but
basically-beneath the body and hood where
fundamental values lie.
Yet they have not unduly stressed each
hetternent that has marked the steady prog
ress of their motor car toward higher
perfection.
And when economic conditions or greater
sales have permitted them to reduce prices
without reducing quality they have an
nounced the fact without excessive emphasis.
Uncxaggerated truth is not spectacular. But
in the long run, implicit public confidence has
been Dodge Brothers reward, and this they
nronose to preserve forever by continuing to
build Just little better than they tell
