Taken on European Tour with Her-R. 5. Bragaw, Anchorage Man, Speaks

The Chamber o- commerce and it's guests from Anchorage and Sitka toured Europe today with Mrs. Robert Simpson, Western yice-President of the American Legion Auxiliary and delegate to the Legion's Paris Convention last Fall. For more than an hour she entertained the gathering with an interesting account of her tour, bits of description being mingled with recitals of amusing incidents in manner that held attention throughout the talk.
 R. s. Bragaw, Jr., past presi- dent of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and head of the Gla cier Tours Association, who is here as a member of the Anchor age Elks' bowling squad, was the other speaker at today's meeting of the Chamber.

as she recounted many amusing incidents and she was given en- thusiastic applause when she con cluded. She touched the high spots from the time of the tu- multuous departure from New York under the escort of aerial and sea forces of the United States, the arrival of the ship in Cherbourg, the trip to Paris, Monte Carlo, Italian cities, Ger many, Belgium. England and re- turning home.
 In Paris she met Mrs. Jean Vanophem who accompanied her on visit to the celebrated Cathedral of Notre Dame where she was shown through the treas ure room containing many prec- ious relics and valuables. The Vanophems, she said, plan to re- turn to Juneau this year and MT. Vanophem expects to resume mining developments at Jualin shortly.

 Not After Capital
 We are not really serious about wanting to take the capital of the Territory away from Ju- neau," declared MT. Bragaw, add. ing, amid laughter, When Juneau gets tired of it and wants to get rid of the capital. then Anchor age would like to have it." He admitted there were a few per sons in Anchorage continually agitating the matter but they do not represent the real attitude of the community.
 He said the railroad is going ahead very nicely under the man. agement of Noel w. Smith whn has put it on a sound basis de- spite the handicap imposed on him by lack of funds. The road, he added, has always bee.l efficiently managed and that the changes in management were the results of politics.
 He praised highly the Alaska Game Commission. We are sat isfied with the Commission reg ulations," he said. He advocated larger appropriations for ths Commission to enable it to em ploy larger field force. MT Bragaw introduced other mem bers of the Anchorage delegation attending the lunch. Messrs Mills, Bahrt and Woods were in troduced to the Chamber by Pres 1 ident George.

 Confidence in Duce
 In Italy she was impressed with the apparent utmost con fidence everyone had in Mussol lini. He was generally respected and people believed in his ability to solve the problems of their country.
 Mrs, Simpson exhibited an em- blem of the Fascist which was given her during her stay in Rome by an Italian lieutenant with the understanding she wouldn't show it in Rome or divulge where she obtained it.. The King of Italy entertained the Legion party in the Palace of Pisa. He was cordial and court eous to the visitors and as he made his way from the room in which the reception was held. some Legionnaire called: Gang way for the King!" 94 Germany came after Italy and then Belgium where there was much of interest to see.

general invitation to Juneau peo- pie visiting Anchorage to get in touch with the Commercial Club there. MT. Bragaw spoke briefly on the industries of that section of the Territory. Fur farms to the value of $1,500,000 have been developed there, he said. Farm CTS in the Matanuska Valley are entering the fur farming industry in a small way, finding in it q source of cash while they are de- veloping their agricultural hold ings. Last year between $350,000 and $4OO,O00 worth of furs weie produced.
 The farming opportunity in that valley, MT. Bragaw said. is pres ent for real farmers who are not afraid of hard work. But it is not a country for anyone who is look ing for an easy living. The soil. equal in richness to highly an- riched garden plots in the States, in some places has a depth of from 10 to 12 feet and really pro duces wonderful crops. Wheat, oats, barley, field peas as well a3 root crops are grown. Good farm CTS can make a success by hard work.
 Coal Development
 Development in the Matanuska coal field, while not rapid. has been steady, he said. At least one mine has developed depos,' of good quality which could be used in Southeastern Alaska In competition with foreign fuel.
 MT. Bragaw suggested the ad visibility of this section of the Territory making an effort tc patronize the coal mining indus try of the railroad belt. He said he believed the canning plants should give it serious considera ton. He believed they shoul1

u. S. AUTOS ABROAD
Greatly Expanding Market Seen By
Chevrolet Motors Official

Despite the desire Of European au-
tomobile manufacturers TO keep the
business TO themselves, and regardless
Of the wish Of European motor car
buyers TO support home industries,
feel that the great value Of the Ameri-
can automobile at its price viii break
down those sentimental barriers and
provide American manufacturers with
steadily expanding market abroad"
This Is the homecoming statement
of r. II. Grant, vice-president of the
Chevrolet Motor Company in charge
Of sales, who recently returned from a
six weeks tour of the leading business
centers overseas.
-America's position in the European
market has been made possible and
fortified by the advanced production
methods employed by the industry on
this side of the Atlantic" Mr.. Grant
pointed out. "Our manufacturing ia
cilities are vastly superior TO those Of
European companies.
This is true especially in the lower
priced fields, where Europe has only
one manufacturer that has developed
quantity production methods TO any
considerable extent And as we know
over here, volume manufacturing has
been one Of the foremost factors in
permitting the industry to offer 60
much automobile at so low a price.
by the very virtue Of the speed re-
quired TO attain volume, precision is
constantly becoming more of an auto
crat in the manufacturing of automo-
biles. Parts must be machined 10
closer and more accurate limits To
make this volume possible, and as q
result of this precision we get finer
automobile and as a result Of the
quantity production which precision
makes possible, American manufacture
ers are able to offer the public more
automobiles per dollar than any other
in the world"
Mr.. Grant is keenly enthusiastic
over the prospects for export sales and
points TO an increasing European
trade as an important factor in the
development Of the automobile bushes:

TWO BOYS In JAIL
FOR AUTO THEFTS

With Stolen Car


Investigation by the state police of

two youths. Kenneth Light, II. of
Putnam, and Leon Wolfenden. 10. of

criminal superior court II was the
arrest and questioning Of the Put
nam boy that led 70 the arrest Of the
Pomfret boy.
Light is accused Of stealing a
Chandler sedan, the property Of Ir-
wing Dawiey Of Plainfeld, last Thurs.
day night, from near the Dawiey fill
ing station on the Plainfield road south
of what was formerly known as "Bish
ops" crossing Light was arraigned
in the town court Of Plainfield, Sat
urday, and probable cause was found.
As he was unable 10 furnish q bond
Of $500 he was taken TO jail.
During a conversation with young
Light the state police say they learned
that he had stolen another car, Chew
rolet sedan, in Providence. This, ac-
cording 10 the information gained by
the state police, Light had turned over
to the Pomfret boy, who hid the car
in the woods. II has since been re-
covered. Wolfenden was also present.
ed in court, Saturday. before a justice
Of the peace, and probable cause was
found. He was also unable TO secure
a bond Of $500 and was also taken 70
jail.
Driving Stolen Car
The arrest Of young Light was
made by the police Of Stratford, near
Bridgeport. Light, II is said. was
driving the stolen sedan al the time.
Light was brought back from STRAIT
ford by Lieutenant Ross v. Urquhart
and Officer Elton Nolan of the Daniel
son barracks.
According to the Putnam police
they were holding a warrant for the
arrest of Light on a charge of as
sault and breach OF the peace follow
ing an assault on another boy. II is
the theory of the police that the
young man, who has been in similar
trouble before, got wind that he was
wanted and decided TO beat Ii. !"
That in some manner he made his way
to Plainfeld where he took the car
to help him get beyond the reach Of
the Putnam officers.
Light has gained considerable pub
Lefty from his escapades. he has
several times disappeared" and his
parents have asked the police 70 aid
in locating him. He has always COON

last time he disappeared he made the

police paid little attention to the mat

people interested themselves and the
river was dragged. The police theory
proved the correct one and within q
few weeks the boy was heard from in
New York.
Since this time Light has made

Stockholders of Manhasset Co
Refused $3.50 share
Received Nothing
Putnam Near 20 Having An Inssrna
tionai Plant

Under the following caption, KNOCK
of Opportunity Unheeded," the Boston
News Bureau. last week, printed an In
teresting article concerning the financ-
ing Of the Manhasset Manufacturing
Company. 1t appears that Putnam
came very near TO having an interna-
tional industry. The deal was blocked
BY Manhasset stockholders, who asked
for $500 a share when offered $3.50,
and eventually received nothing.
The article is a little financial trag
edy Of what might have been, and j.
reprinted herewith from the "Ncws
Bureau:
Opportunity knocks
Traditsonally, opportunity knocks
but once. In the case of the Manhas-
set Manufacturing Co. of Providence,
X. l.. common stockholders in 1920 re-
ceived an offer of $3.50 per share for
their stock, refused this bid. asking
$500, and three years later saw them
selves and the company's preferred
shareholders wiped out in liquidation,
even the creditors getting but bbGs 10

In June, 1920, the Dunlop tire in

the common stockholders, which If ac-
cepted by all would have involved
total of s5,024,750. Book value of
the common was then about $93.
This offer was rejected by the stock
holders, who sought $500 per share.
Business conditions took turn for
the worse, the negotiations were brok-
