 Although not licensed, Ohio per mitted him to open an operating office in Youngstown in 1894, and he gave his entire time to his prac- tice. His fame as a healer spread rapidly, and he was besieged by the rich and the poor, by the high and the low. Soon he won the nickname "Bonesetter" by which he was known to thousands throughout the world.
 Reese treated all who came to him. The rich paid we'll for their treatments; the poor paid what they could, and many times they could pay nothing. In his late days, Reese's patients came in such great numbers that his engagement book was filled a month and more in advance.
 Among some of Reese's most fam ous patients were David Lloyd George, the British statesman; Will Rogers, American humorist; Fred Stone, the comedian; Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner and other prominent big league baseball stars; Gene Tunney, Battling Nelson and other note prize fighters.

POINT BARROW, Dec. 1. P)- The treacherous Arctic has claimed one more victim. The ice-locked ship Baychimo mysteriously dlSap~ peared in the heavy gale of the past few days, and one of the worst storms in many years which struck the coast here on the night of November 26.-
 The next day, November 27, the crew looked out over She wastes to where the Baycllimo had been but saw only huge pile of crushed ice where the ship had been last seen. The ice pile was almost 50 feet high.
 The high gale prohibited search for the vessel for a while and 1t was net until the weather calmed hat a search could be made and a search over 10-mile radius failed 10 reveal any sign of the boat.
 The Baychimo belonged to the Hudson Bay Trading Company and was frozen in the ice of the Arctic Coast, between Point Barrow and HerSchel Island. The vessel had been making annual voyages to the Arctic carrying supplies to the Hudson Bay trading posts on the Arctic Coast and brought back to Vancouver, B.

CALIFORNIA; OPPORTUNITIES IN THE RAILROAD BELT OF ALASKA

Some day the fruit and vegetable shippers of California and the salmon of Alaska will discover that they can save good many hundreds of thousands of dollars yeer by using Alaska poplar and Alaska cottonwood in their crates, instead of spruce and pine And that day may not be far off, either That discovery has been made already by some of them who are doing serious thinking about 1t.
 When all the facts in the case are considered the pos abilities appear logical and inviting for very large in dustry centerng at Seward to supply market for fruit and vegetable crates in California and for salmon crates in Alaska amounting in total value to many millions of |dolIars year
 Scientific tests completed by the Forest Products Laboratory of the Forest Service, Department of Agr culture as given Technical Bulletin Mo- 226 issued this year show that Alaska popars and cotonWoods weigh o pounds to the cubic foot seasoned compared with o pounds for the pine and spruce of Alaska Washington and Oregon Thatis difference of onesevenh III weight in favor of the Alaska popars and cottonWoods or 4OO pounds to the 1000 board foot.
 Just what that difference means m savng on freight rates will appear from a small amount of calculation
 California alone uses 600OOO000 board feet of pine and spruce per year in the shipment of her fruits and vegetables to Eastern markets. At 5000 pounds per OOO board feet that 9000OO tons of lumber used n the ship ment of California fruits andvegetabes to the markets of Central and Eastern States The average freight rate on those shipments is S10 per ton The gross cost of freight charge the lumber in the fruit and vegetable crates therefore up to the staggering sum of 0OO 900 per year, and above the cost of freight on the fruits and vegetables that the crates contain.
 Consequently, by using Alaska poplar and cotton wood in their crates with saving of neseventh i'll weight, those California shippers would economlze ap proxmaey $285OOO per year in the one item of freight rates.
 An additional saving of large amounts would be in the original cost of poplar and cottonwood veneers and lumber They the only carietes of timber that are turned into without first being steamed in vat Poplar and cottonwood for that reason cost about

But Al Schacht's protege, Harry
Ruby, isn't!
Money, to Ruby, is mere con-
fetti compared to baseball. The
composer of Three Little Words" "
IT Love You So Much" and other
tuneful hits of the day, has an
undying love for the national pas
time that even line drives and
bruised shins can't conquer.
The Griffmen first saw Ruby in
spring training year ago. And
because he was friend of
Schacht's, if for no other reason,
they framed up" on him.

The entire club co-operated in
various exercises calculated to give
Harry everything from sore arm
to falling dandruff. But amaz-
ingly enough, Rubber Arm" as
Schacht styles him, showed re-
markable endurance and kept
plugging away.
That's the last we'll see of
him though" Washington play
ers chirped, Iaughingly, "he'S got
enough now"
Sir Harry Ruby dispelled this
belief yesterday. When the Griff-
men invaded Baltimore, Ruby
as big as life-horned into the
picture. Furthermore, he did a
ninth-inning turn on second base
as Washington whipped the ORR
oles, Z to 3.
During his golden moment"
Ruby impersonated the talkie he
supervised and the one Schacht
declares was named after him

second base and. all in all, boost
