A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK

A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK
 Our scrapbook Club seems never to stop growing! Hundreds of new members were added during the past summer, and the postman is still bringing in new requests for leaflets telling how to make Cor ner scrapbook. Here is letter picked up just a few moments ago, from a boy who joined the club some time ago:
 Dear Uncle Ray: | received your rules and membership certificate. I have already made the scrapboOk with the interesting articles. I think the cover design drawn by Roy Anderson Ketcham is very fine cover design indeed.
 'I wish you would write in the paper where to send your letters. A loyal member of your club.
 "M. w. Furbush, Junior."
 Always address your letters to me in care of this newspaper. You may place the words Editorial De- pertinent" at the lower left-hand corner of your envelope. if you wish to make doubly sure that your letter will reach me.
 If you have not already joined the Scrapbook Club, this may be ! good time to do so. If you are at- tending grade school, you may find 1t helpful to save articles which will fit in with your work in his tory, geography or Nature study.
 If you are attending either junior or senior high school, you may find articles in the Corner which will assist you in science or history. During the last school term, re- ceived this letter:
 "Dcar Uncle Ray: Seeing that you have helped students in dis tress, I am going to ask you for first aid. Have you any information on ''Radio," "Air Mall" and "Teie- vision?" We need this ork and Il. lustrations in high schcooi, and would appreciate it greatly If you would help me. sincerely yours;
 ssHelen Mayer"
 I happened to have extra clip pings of articles I had written on two of the subjects Helen men, tioned. and was glad to help "a student in distress" but It is far better for readers to save articles each day so as to have them promptly when needed. Often l do not have extra copies of past arti- cles. The best thing is for each reader to keep a scrapbook. and to have 1t indexed so articles may be

SEVERAL KILLED WHEN ANTI. AIRCRAFT GUN EXPLODES
 ON U. s. s. COLORDAO.

SAN DIEGO.-The bravery of wounded soldiers who ignored pain and minor injuries that they might help comrades more seriously hurt was told today as the death list from a series of three accidents, involving the U. s. naval forces along the Pa ci6c coast yesterday, mounted to seven. The stories of heroism came from the U. s. s. Colorado, where an antiaircraft gun exploded while the ship was 45 miles at sea engaged in an attack upon a mythical enemy of the air. Four men, an officer and three enlisted sailors were killed out right as broken steel, hurled like shrapnel, sprayed the decks. Another sailor died today and a sixth was on the verge of death.

MINNEAPOLIS.-The trial of w. B. Foshay and six of his aides, which has been in progress here during the fast several weeks. ended yesterday and tn jury was discharged today be- cause of inability to reach an agree ment on verdict
 Counsel for the defense cited the accounting records brought into court as government exhibits as their main reliance in seeking an acquittal. The records, it was argued, showed con- clusiyely that no attempt ever had been made to cover up the activities of the various Foshay enterprises. The government contended that the values were rapidly increased in or der to overcome the steadily increas- ing deficit and if the defendants had fixed the values, which they kne wto be proper, no one would have been induced to invest their money in the stocks

 ''In the petitions on the letterheads marked 'Nenana' it is asked that the Government prohibit the establish ment of a cannery or canneries at or within the mouth of the Yukon. It is obvious that those responsible for the signing of these petitions have been laboring under misapprehension that a salmon cannery or canneries would be established in the Yukon delta region. In this connection l want to say that nothing of the sort has been contemplated or is likely to occur by reason of the proposed new regulation.
 "The exceedingly limited amount of commercial fishing in waters out side the Yukon, which woul6 be, aI- lowed, would not justify the estab- lishment of any salmon canuery. The cost of bringing a canner yinto this region would be promKitive. The total catch of 5000 king, salmon would be divided among alT persons engaged in commercial fishing. in these waters.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-Some days ago. Delegate. Wiekersham had a con- ference with, Henry O'Mal1ey, Com missioner of Fisheries, on the pro- posed regulation that would permit limited commercial fishing in waters outside of the Yukon river. The Del egate submitted many letters and pe- titions that he had received on the subject from residents of Alaska in the area affected. At the conclusion of the discussion the commissioner ex- pressed the opinion that he would recommend to the Secretary of Com merce that the regulation be made, effective, January. l., 1882, and if it should develop after the first season that it was proving harmful to the residents of the Yukon river the reg uiahioH would he revoked Later other petitions were received, which. did not tend. totchange the commissioners viewpoint znd which brought forth a later,. unkaAr dxte of October 5, in which among other things Commis- xioner O'M2l3ey said:

GENEVA.-The possibility of a concerted withdrawal of diplomatic representatives from Tokyo as the next move in the China-Japan conflict was considered by League of Nations leaders tonight, in planning for the next meeting of the Council in Paris on November 16 In fact, the legal section of the Secretariat, under or ders from Secretary General Sir Eric Drumnaond, was studying Article 15 of the League covenant to determine whether the member nations could be asked to remove their ambassadors and ministers in the event that Japan continues to reject measures of arbi- tratinn.

GENEVA.-Fresh alarm over. he Manchurian situation was spread in League of Nations quarters today when news was officially received that Japanese. troops had moved on Thi- thirar, an important strategic point in Northwest Manchuria. Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese spokesman, called at the League secretariat and held private conference with Sir Eric Drummond, secretary general, in which. he voiced, China's fears that the new develop ments indicated Japan has no inten- ton to withdraw its troops within the railway zone-
 The opinion was expressed by those in touch with the controversy that the situation had become worse during the last week.
