SHIPMENTS FOR l. SEPTEMBER ARE
 UNDER AVERAGE
A a s k a Commodities for Last Month Are Under
 $10,000, 900 Mark

September's shipments of Alaska commodities to the States, ex- elusive of precious metals, dropped to less than $10,O0000O for the first time in many years for that month, it was revealed in the monthly statement of commerce isued today by J. C. Mcbride, Col lector of Customs for Alaska. Gen. eral decline in fisheries products and copper ore was accountable for the decreased total value.
 The outgoing commodity ship ments for the month just passed totaled $9,753 ,495. This is $3,114121 less than for September, l93O, when the aggregate value of all products was $13,067,616.
 Salmon Drops Sharply
 Almost $2,OO0,0o0 of the loss was covered by decline in the value of canned salmon shipments, due in the main to lowered prices of that variety of fish. The total quantity of canned salmon exported was 80, ,382, ,945 pounds which had a de- clared Customhouse value of $8,- 706,350. In September, 1930 canned salmon shipments were worth $10,- 637 ,067.
 Herring dropped $210,00O in value. Fresh fish, salmon and halibut, another $5O,OOO to the total decline. Fish meal was $23O,- 900 less and oil $19O,000 under last years figures Of all fisheries pro- ducts, shell fish alone registered an advance for the month.

Yes, we know they will-un-

festive New Year Eve parties
where these gorgeous dresses
are going to make their bow.
Frivolous debutantes are in
dulging in laces and sheer
crepes, younger girls in taffetas
and failles. Some are choosing
dainty flounced models, while
others with very slender fig

Older sisters and young ma

are going in for gowns Of

Advice to the

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 18 years old and about

seemed to be a good sport, and
am lively. love good times and
am quite popular. We spent all
of our holidays together-gen-
orally hiking out in the country
and having wonderful times. !
became known as Jerry's girl
friend. This summer Jerry
went away, but, wrote to me reg
ularly. When he returned
home, he suddenly changed. I
asked him what the trouble was
and he told me that / had hurt
him and made him appear fool
ish before our friends. was
amazed and apologized, as I had
had no thought that he would
take it so seriously, although
I do admit that at parties and
dances I had laughed and chat
ted good bi. with other boys.
Although Jerry said that he
would still like to be my friend.
he has not shown me any at
tention for some time. This
hurts me terribly, as realize
that he is one boy in a thou
sand and I would do anything
to regain his friendship. Please,
Miss Fairfax, try to advise me
how to do this. SALLY.
Jerry seems to be a sensitive
and-let me whiSr, perhaps
a slightly jealous young man.
don't believe that you should
humble yourself further by apol-
ogizing any more. Just continue
to be pleasant and friendly when
you meet him. and I thi.lI in
time he will regret the attitude
he has taken, and will be
thankful to have you smile on
him again.

Your Health
And Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

Proteins are absolutely neces-
sary ingredients Of the diet.
Our own body is mostly protein,
so we have to give it some Cf
it's own substance to keep it
going.
The question is, how much?
That is one of the things
about which there is no wide
spread agreement among dietary
experts. Man, experiments
have been made to try to de-
termine the lowest amount OF
protein on which a human
being can subsist. The older
figures place It at about 125
grams a day for a person
weighing $50 pounds. Professor
Chittenden of Yale, however,
kept men who were in active
athletic training on an intake
of IS grams (for the same
weight. This experiment was
carried out over q long period
of time and with no diminution
in the strength or proweSS OF
the athletes. Other expert
ments have even put 1t, as low
as 40 grams.
But even more disagreement
is expressed as to whether it
is healthier to keep people on
such low amounts. Most Of us
on the ordinary American diet
eat far more. Indeed. it Is
likely most Americans eat over
$50 grams a day. This Is, how
ever, partly dependent on
finances, the rich being the
greater protein consumers. Chit
tenden thought that the closer
one could get to IS grams a
day, the healthier he would be.
There is, however, no certain
evidence that large amounts OF
protein do any harm.
What Is certain Is that we
cannot get along without some
protein. We lose some every
day and it must be replaced.
Nearly all ordinary foods con-
tain some protein. The COM
monest formj of food contain.
ing it are meat, milk, eggs and
bread.

When Manners
Are Correct
Wearing the Rings


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My wife and I recently had
quite an argument regarding
the correct form of wearing
rings. My wife claims that O
lady, when she marries, wears
both the engagement ring and
the wedding ring on the third
finger of her left hand.
I maintain that this is bad
form and claim that the wed.
ding ring Only should be worn
on the left hand and the en-
gagement ring worn as a dress
ring on the right hand.
Who is correct? r. r.
It is customary to wear both
the engagement ring and the
wedding ring on the same fin.
ger, the thlro finger or Cnc
left hand. The wedding ring
should always be put OIL the
finger first, and the engage.
ment ring over 1t. That is
why. when the bride goes to
the altar, she wears her en-
gagement ring on her right
hand until the wedding ring
is put on the third finger.
Then she changes the engage
ment ring tc the left hand,
putting it over the wedding
ring. ~
OF course, the rings needn't
be worn this way. They may
be worn separately. but ] never
see them worn separately. ~
The idea of the spiritual union
of the engagement and the mar
riage would indicate that the
symbols of these, the two rings,
would be worn together.

Some players sitting in AS

Every player sitting in BIS po-

ABB were vulnerable, but w
were not vulnerable. Being vul-
nerable exerts almost a mes
meric influence upon the ma.
jority of players. They unduly
slow up bidding for fear Of be-
ing penalized, often allowing
their opponents to win a game
while the vulnerable players are
pottering with part game score
bids on hands that are well
able to stand game bids or even
slam bids. Your rule should be
to bid your values, whether vul-
nerable or not vulnerable.

played 3-No TrumpS; one at r
No TrumpS; three at 4HeartS:
one at 6-Hearts: one at g.
Hearts; one at 6-No Trumps.
The worst score was turned
in by the pair playing at
6-Hearts. The best score went
to the pair playing at 6-No
Trumps. The worst score was
due to the fact that its declarer
lost one club trick on a finesse
(as did every other declarer).
He also lost one heart trick by
laying down his three top
hearts, expecting the opposing
cards of that suit to split 3-3.
AS a rule. there are odds Of 68
to 80 that six missing cards will
not be divided equally between
opponents.
The most interesting bidding
and playing was at the table
where the opening bid hap
pened to be INC Trump. in

SOVIET CHALLENGED
ON RESEARCH BARS.
U. S. Scientists Uphold Value
of Fundamental Work
Against MateriaIism.
By the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
CHAPEL HILL, N. c., April "a
A challenge of American college re-
search to scientific advances expected by
Russians in their five-year program
was portrayed to the American College
Publicity Association here yesterday.
Louis c. Boochevcr. director of public
information at Cornell University, de-
scribed this American scientific work as
disclosed in answers Of IS colleges and
universities to a questionnsire. His con-
illusions were based on study Of 346
major research projects in these
answers.
A great army Of investigators probing
into every field of human endeavor was
revealed. much of it in the realm Of
pure or fundamental science"
Benefits Distributed.
Where the results of investigations
have direct application to practical
affairs" Mr.. Boochever said, the find
ings are made known to whole indus
tries and the benefits are made avail
able to the general public.
"A recent report from Russia stated
that the Soviet Republic was abandon
ing all pure research and henceforth
would engage only in research with i'm
mediate practical application and
which would effect the successful con-
summation Of their much heralded
five-year plan.
The value of fundamental research
has been demonstrated so many times
that the scientific standards of a gov
eminent which undertakes this type of
investigation may be seriously ques-
toned.
Challenge to Materialism.
THE colleges Of America with their
hundreds of inquiries into every field
in the true spirit of scientific scholar
ship, stand as a distinct challenge to
any such materialistic conception.
Some of these subjects have no ap-
parent practical value. Others seem of
the greatest Importance from a none
tary standpoint. To name a few there
are vitaulins. hormones, new elements,
X-rays, ultraviolet rays, nutrition,
genetics, new satellites. comets, stars,
deafness, thyroid glands, sugar beets,
planetary heat. sleep. countless studies
in education. yellow fever, Elasticity of
clays and lime. vaccines. oil films, rayon,
potato scale. bioluminescence, brake
shoes. fungus disease and cellulose."
