 Nutrition discoveries in the last 20 years have greatly benefited the health and happiness of the pres ent generation and the one to come, in the opinion of Dr. H. c. Sher- man of Columbus university.
 Addressing the American asso- citation for the advancement of sci ence, Dr. Sherman asserted that recent studies made on rats had revealed that the prime of life may be extended in both directions.
 "Old age comes less soon," he said. We have definitely found that the improvement of the nutri- tion of one generation results in the improved health of the next. ] foresee limitless possibilities ahead through science for the enrichment of life"
 There is no immediate possibility of food shortage, according to II. R. Tolley and Mordecai Ezekiel, of the bureau of agricultural eco- monies, United States department of agriculture.
 "Of course population could not increase indefinitely without out running the food supply" their paper said but trends are such that no marked shortage seems likely for decades or even genera tions."
 Extension of the training periods for teachers from two and three year terms was urged as a vital re- quirement in the improvement of the education system by Prof. L. A.. Pechstcin of the University of Cin- cinnati.
 Dr. John A. Iichty, superinten- dent of the Clifton Springs sani- tarium and clinic Clifton Springs, N.

VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL
 DEATH IN KILLING OF NA-
 TIVE, SHAGELUK VILLAGE

Recent reports coming from Flat state that U. s. Commissioner E. J. Stier, Deputy Marshal Estes and Dr. Wentz returned there a few days ago from a village on Shageluk slough, where they went to investigate an alleged murder.
 The case was one in which native man was shot by n2tive girl, the latter being deaf and dumb. The girl, according to accounts, had for some time been annoyed by the attentions of men of the native village.
 Reports of the shooting are con- ficting, so far as learned here. It seems, however, that on the day in question the native man called at the home of the native woman, who re- pulsed the attentions of the man. The girl got hold of gun. She dis claimed that she intended to use it, but it was discharged somehow, the bullet entering the back of the mans head, killing him instantly.
 The coroner's jury returned a yer dict of accidental death, and the girl was discharged

 Hundreds of old Alaskans could reach the North Pole quietly if some body told. them there was gold there, but Wilkins won't get there this spring. They are1assuming that they will be able to haul gasoline to Point Barrow from Fairbanks, but they will never be able to cross the Endicott range. They will find no trails, but great hummocks of snow and ice that their snow tractors can't crawl over or go around Even dogs couldn't haul gasoline across those mountains at this time of year, but dogs would come nearer doing it than tractors"

Juneau-Wilkins' SHOW tractors may fail to haul supplies to Point Barrow from Nenana, is indicated by a report received here by the Alaska Road Commission from the Fairbanks office, after a-similar tractor had been tested between Fairbanks and Birch Lake, distance of 5S miles. The snow motor left Fairbanks January II loaded with three tons, and arrived at Birch Lake on the 14th with 800 pounds, it having been necessary to discharge the remainder of the load en route The running time was A hours, and 67 gallons of gasoline were consumed, indicating that it would re- quire more than four tons of fuel be- tween Nenana and Point Barrow.
 Officials reported that the steering gear of the snow motor was unsatls- factory, making it impossible to oper- ate through the dry snow common in the interior of Alaska, where lack of water prevents the snow from pack ing, which is necessary to furnish traction for the revolving treads. The test tractor dug itself into drifts and moved sideways on a. assidling trail.

increase OF one-half a cent pound over
the old scale, Improvement in work
