REMOVING PAINT AND vARNIsH

The most efficient method ot re- IT wing old paint and varnish IS to burn the surface with painters 5 bIowtorch. The heat causes the fillh to soften and it can then be scraped o.F easily. This method, however, can only be used on flat surfaces, and where a slight scorching ot the wood is not objectionable. A hot solution of caustic soda (concentrat- ed lye), 1 lb to the gallon of water, is also efficient. This should be ap- piled with a fiber (not bristle) brush until the paint softens. This solu- tion is very hard on the hands, and also raises the grain of the wood, and surfaces treated with it should De thoroughly washed and dried before repainting.

Arm strong, sales manager of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation of New York, which possesses a herd of 175,OOJ reindeer in Alaska, declares that public acceptance of this food is growing Large quantities are be- ing sold in many countries, inclusi ye ol China.

DOG POIsONERs

Seward peaple are on the warpath. Dog poisoners have been scattering poison promisuously and many val uable dogs have been poisoned. A rewa ard of $575. is now offered by the Town of Seward for the arrest and conviction of the party or parties poisoning dogs. Killing of dogs 1T legally is a crime under the Organic Act
 Wrangell with it's Earl West as city marshal, and Petersburg with it's Hans Wick in the same office, have had an unenviable record oi poisoning of licensed dogs. Strange to relate, since both men had the ''can" tied to them, complaints of dog poisoning have not been made.

BYRD SHIP NEARING
POLAR ICE BARRIER
Advance Guard Planning to

by the Associated Press.


WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Deem
Der 3.-The advance guard Of Comdr.
Richard E. Byrd's expedition was SAIL
ing southwark today to establish a base
at the edge of the Antarctic ice barrier
Fifty men and Comdr Byrd were on
the supply ship Eleanor Boiling when
it left Dunedin towing another ship to
the south polar regions. The party will
establish base in the Bay of Whales
and remain there while the Eleanor
Boiling returns to Dunedin for the re-
nainder of the personnel and equip
lnent
DR.. Vaclov Voutech. a young Czecho-
slovakian geOlogist, whose original APP
plication to join the expedition was re-
fused won a place in it by persistence.
Not content with the refusal, he made
his way to Wellington, arriving soon
after Comdr. Byrd. He renewed his
I1ea and was promised a place on the
Eleanor Boiling on her second trip.
For the first few hundred miles of his
2,000-mile voyage to the ice-covered
polar continent C0mdr. Byrd will have
easy sailing. Later, however, the ships
will have to force their way through
the polar ice pack and will require sew
eral weeks for the plodding trip. Dur
ing this time scientists plan, to gather
data on the depth and temperature of
the water, the nature of the ocean bot
tom, the structure and movement of the
pack and the direction of currents.
The party will set up a portable town
at the ice barrier, and this will be its
base of operations for at least a year
and half.

HOPE WITNESSES CAN
 IDENTIFY GUNMEN
Only Hope That Money Stolen In Yonkcrs Holdup Will Be
 Recovered.

Yonkcrs, N. T., Dec. 13 R-The only hope of capturing the six rob- bers who stole $104.500 from a bank car yesterday seemed today to lie in the possibility of witnesses identify ing the gunmen from pictures in the rogues' gallery.
 After holding up the collection car of the First National bank in the heart of the city the robbers started away in one automobile. switched to second which was later found abandoned, and eluded all pursuers. The name of James Nannery, who escaped from Sing Sing some weeks ago. was considered by police today as a possible member of the band. because . shotgun was used in the bank car holdup and Nannery was known to specialize in holdups with such a weapon.
 The money stoeln was to have been used by the bank in making up the weekly payroll of the Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet company. The hank was fully protected by holdup insurance.
