I thot I would drive out to the lake the other day and had just arrived when a little boat came sailing up and who gets out but Dunk Little. We have been friends for years in fact at one time Dunk and worked in the old Russian sawmill right here in Resurrection bay. After shaking palms with Dunk I asked him about things down the lake. Everything was fine. But, he said, something unsual hap pened the other nite. He said he was wards morning he heard an awful noise out beyond the cabin. He lit the candle, slipped on his old mucklucks and strolled out and there he saw big bull moose. There was knothole in the side of the cabin and it seems that in some manner the moose had gotten his horns, or a prong, in it. They are inquisitive animals, anyway. We'll, it took Dunk and Chas. Lean all day long, and we had to take off 34 boards from the side of the cabin, before that moose could get free. Louie Bell can verify all this He saw the tracks in the snow the next day Afterwards Dunk told me he wished he had killed the moose and sent the horns over to Gus Gelles, the big chief of the Alaska Guides Association. He said perhaps if Uncle Billy Whiz Ranger could hear about this it might serve to bring him back North and perhaps he would bring with him the next time that headed rib he was al- ways harping about.

CARBON D|0X|DE
 ABSORBING PLANS
Soda Lime Method May Now Be
 Improved Upon

New York. July 20 R-An im- proved method of quickly absorbing carbon dioxide from the air in sub marines, bank vaults and other places of limited capacity in which men work would be the surest way of minimizing the death hazard from this gas. says Dr. Harrison E. Howe, editor of Industrial and En- gineering Chemistry, official journal of the American Chemical society.
 Excess of carbon dioxide rather than lack of oxygen causes such tragedies as the suffocation of the crew of the submarine S-4, Dr. Howe points out in the publica- tion. Soda lime is commonly used to absorb the deadly gas, but the chemist believes it may be neces- sary to perfect new reagents and new methods to perform this serv- ice.
 "Somethlng quicker in action, able to absorb carbon dioxide by mere contact with the quiet atmosphere and active enough to be potent in small quantities is needed he as- serts. Most of the suggestions for the rescue of those imprisoned in difficult places have had to do with mechanical and electrical methods. Until recently the vital importance Of a few chemical facts has been generally overlooked.
 Apparently individuals differ in the lowest amount of oxygen in the air which will support life ProA- ply 13 per cent is the minimum fig ure. Not only is oxygen consumed In bank vault or a submarine, but carbon dioXide is gradually aug mented in percentage, in some cases perhaps reaching eight per cent before death. Now if, to such air. oxygen be added until the ratio Is made the same as in normal pure air. Will this prevent suffocation? The reply is negative. Unfortunate ly carbon dioxide in excess appears to act independent of the concen- tration of oxygen.
 We are informed that in the S-4 VI" eA"e'N Syi'Huel oI oxygen was found. It is probable that the men had the strength neither to reach it nor to open it. but if they had been able to do so this gas would have been of no avail because of the high concentration of carbon diox- 1de in the atm osphere."
 Dr. Howe points to the necessity Of removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere whenever its high concentration may be danger ous.
 "The implicit belief in the effi- cacy Of increased oxygen supply, regardless of other factors, has at times led submarine crews to leave behind their prescribed allot- nent of soda lime and take instead extra cylinders of oxygen," he as- serts. Undoubtedly soda lime of the proper quality is the best known absorbing reagent at present, and if | reliance could be placed upon air l circulation the removal of carbon i dioxide by this absorbent would be simple. However. in some cases machinery is not available or may | have been put out of commission, 50 that when air circulation is most l needed 1t cannot be had with cer- tainty. The mere contact of quiet atmosphere with absorbents is slow process and. while helpful, leaves much to be desired"

MET MANY DIsAPPOINTMENTS.
Southern Cross Flyers Encountered Re-
verses During Preparations.

SAN FRANCISCO, June R.-
That dauntless spirit which has just
carried four men farther in the mono
plane Southern Cross than any man
has ever flown before over water was
not displayed alone on the flight from
Oakland to Suva, via Honolulu. The
diSappointments and reverseS they met
at nearly every turn in preparing for
their now historic achievement often
tried their souls far more than the
threats of storms or loss of fuel after
starting.
Something of the pre-fiight days
when Charles Kingsford- and G.
T. P. Ulm, Australian co-pilots of the
Southern Cross, were less widely known
and more indifferently treated, was mar
rated here yesterday by Frank Flynn,
superintendent of Mills Field. Flynn
met the two pilots when they first ar
rived here during the Dole flight to
Honolulu last year.
''The boys came up to me when the
Dole race preparations were under
way" Flynn said. "They had high
hopes then. 1t was generally under
stood that the Australian premier had
secured financial backing for their
fight, with the assistance OF news

After six hours in the air, during
part of which time it was lost In the
fog. the monoplane Columbia returned
to Curtiss Field today, having been un-
able to find its way to Old Orchard,
Me-. on the first leg of transatlantic
flight.
Miss Mabel Boil, sponsor of the flight,
expressed disappointment that the firSt
short leg of the long journey should
have been unsuccessful, but said that
this would have no effect on her deter
raination to go through with the ocean
flight
After the Columbia returned, Levine
joined the flyers at his airplane factory
snd a lengthy conference ensued al
which it was decided not to make an
other attempt today.
If was learned that Boutillier was in
favor of a nonstop flight from Roose-
velt Field rather than stop-over
at Old Orchard, but it was not generally
believed that he could convince the
others of the wisdom of this plan.
Ayiators said that considerable work
would have to be done on the Roosevelt
Field runway before it could be used
for the take-off of fully loaded plane
and estimated that two days might be
necessary to complete the work.

When President Coolidge leaves for

is some likelihood that Mrs. Coolidge

Tentative arrangements are being made
for her on the special train, however.
The large Office force was taken in

part in the directing of the Republican
campaign this Summer.

there is no occasion for speculation,

133L|STED AS ILL
AT SCHOOL DINNER
19 Teachers and so Pupils
" Still Confined to
Homes.

Nineteen teachers and probably SO
students of Business High School were
confined to their homes today from the
effects of illness contracted Tuesday
night and yesterday following the cadet
celebration supper served in the school
lunchroom at the conclusion of the
competitive drills Tuesday, it was an
nounced by Allan Davis, principal,
shortly before noon.
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant
superintendent of schools in charge of
cadet affairs, and Mrs. Kramer, both
of whom were guests at the dinner, also
are suffering from the effects of the
same illness. Although Mr.. Kramer was
at his Office in the Franklin School
Building yesterday, when he complained
of feeling Ill, he was not on duty today
It was reported yesterday that nine
teachers and "at least 20 students were
i'll, but close check up of the high
school faculty and student body today
showed that 33 teachers and 100 stu
dents were stricken. Several guests OF
the school also were made i'll, it was
learned. In all 210 persons were served
at the school dinner.
Cause Not Determined.
The cause of the illness probably will
not be determined for two days, it was
announced at the District Health De-
partment today, where archaeological
analysis of samples of the food which
was served is being made Forty-eight
hours longer will be required to isolate
the organism which 1t Is believed affect
ed the diners.
BacteriologiSts of the Health Depart
ment have samples of all of the foods
served with the exception of the deviled
eggs. The potato salad and not the
eggs, however, is suspected Of harboring
the germ which caused the illness. The
investigation thus far has shown that
the potato salad was the only food eaten
by practically all of. those who were
stricken. Moreover, the bacteriologists
pointed out. potatoes are an excellent
media for the propagation of disease
organisms, especially when left standing
for any length of time. The potato
salad was freshly made after 10 O'Clock
on the morning of the dinner, Business
High School teachers explained yester-
day.

SHANGHAI, China, June 7.-Tele-
graphic advices from Tientsin state
that another unsuccessful attempt
was made yesterday afternoon to as
sassinate Marshal Chang Tso-Lin,
the former Northern dictator, who is
now at Mukden. Two arrests were
made.
By the Associated Press.
PEKING, June with travel i'm
practicable, Americans 'emained in
Peking today and the legation had no
intention of evacuatihg them to other
points which some might consider safer.
Nationalist flags were flying, signel-
izing the change of the regime from
the dictatorship of Marshal Chang Tso-
lin to the Kuomintang. There was no
disorder and evacuation of Americans
was regarded as unnecessary.
Peking was isolated by railway, no
trains were running to TientSin and
for three days there have been no
mails from the outside. To exclude
deserters from the Chinese armies, all
the city gates except one were closed.
The automobile route to Tientsin was
regarded as risky, since nondescript
soldiers were roaming the countryside
without leaders.
IT Japanese reports from Mukden
were to be relied upon, Chang Tso-lin,
injured in a bomb outrage when he
he'd there, was alive and improving.
The official Japanese report stated that
although the former Northern die
tator's condition was showing signs of
improvement, his Chinese physician
would not permit visitors.
A statement issued by attending ply
sicians indicated that Chang's injuries
were more extensive than reported at
first. His bruised arm was causing
pain and contusions on the head and
leg were healing. Chang himself was
cheerful.
:. Mukden has been under martial law
since the morning of June 4, when
Chang's train was bombed.

SUVA, Fiji, June (Friday) THE
monoplane Southern Cross rested on
the sands of Naselai Beach today await
ing the ebb of tide to permit it to hon
on toward Australia, the last sea leg
of its transpacif1c flight. The plane
was to start at 2 pm. (6 pm. Pacific
Coast time Thursday.
An unruly surf prevented the plane
from starting yesterday afternoon
When the Government steamer Pioneer
arrived at NaSelai with 300 gallons of
gasoline the work of transporting the
drums to shore was made difficult and
Slow by a rough sea. So great was the
delay that dusk found the plane but
partially fueled and the tide coming in.
When it was decided that the South
ern Cross would have to wait another
day the plane was hauled above the
h1gh-Water line and made safe for the
night.
Plane Completely FueIed.
The craft was completely fueled to-
day, and all that remained to be done
was uncovering of the three radial mo-
tors and warming them UP a bit.
Capt. Charles Kingsford- Smith and
Charles Uln, Australian pilots of the
Southern Cross, estimated that they
should cover the 1,762 miles between
Suva and Brisbane, Australia, in about

thence to Suva. Warner was the radio
man. Under arrangements made before
the fight started in California, Lyon
and Warner were to leave the expedi-
ton at Suva, permitting the two Au-
Strauans to continue on to their home
land alone.
5,628 Miles Already Covered.
But since arriving in the Fijis Capt.
KingSford-Sn changed his mind and
announced that as a mark of apprecia-
ton for the skill of the two Aneri-
cans he wanted them to accompany
him to Brisbane.
Since leaving Oakland Thursday last,
