ROAD AND TRAIL DISTANCES IN
 END DIVISION
Road and Trail in- formation compiI- ed by the A. R. C.

ON THIS PAGE Is the compil- ed figures of road and trail dis tances gathered by the Alaska Road Commission, on the thirteen different routes In the Second Division. IL is being published by The Nome Nugget, for the information of those who may wish to use them. This Is the first time a complete publication of this kind has ever been made here. In the past trail distances between few of the outlying districts. have been published, but never the entire division. These distances were logged in 1892 by the A. R. C. and are the latest correct figures to be had.
 The routes are as follows: Eome-Nenana Trail
 Eome-Point Barrow Trail Kotzebue-Kobuk Trail Kiana-Selawik-Sh Trail Miscellaneous distances on north
 ern Trails.
 Unalakleet-St. Michael Trail St. MichaelJK otlik Trail Kotlik-Fortuna Ledge Trail Nome-Teller Trail
 Teller-Pilgrim Hot Springs Trail Teller-Cape Prince of Wales Shish-
 maref Trail
 Shishmaref- -Serpentine Hot Springs
 Trail
 Ncme-Serpentine Hot Springs Trail
 In addition to distances, mile age etc, between stations, re- marks are also made concerning the station what 1t is, if 1t has a radio, school roadhouse or store. Shelter cabins are also men, tioned. Following is some misce'l- aneous trail data of distances on northern trails:
 Bluff to White Mountain-15 Miles
 Golovin to White Mountain IS Miles.
 Trail for White Mountain leav- es Nome-Kaltag trail miles east of Bluff.
 Distance across Norton Bay, on Ice trail, from Isaac's Point to Bonanza-25 Miles.
 Distance across Norton Bay, on ice trail, from Isaac's Point to Koyuk-175 Miles.
 Trail from Haycock to Bear Creek via head of Peace River 22 Miles.
 Distance from Old Bear Creek Mining Co.'S winter camp to their summer camp and on across coun- try to Chas. Everen's winter camp On Quartz Creek-20.4 Miles. Distance from Everen's Camp to Quartz Creek Roadhouse-5.6 Miles
 Distance from Candle to Deer ing, land and ice trail,-26.5 miles,
 Distances from Kiwalik to Deer Ing, ice trail, staked from mouth of Hunter Creek to Deering-26 Miles.
 Distance from Deering to Cho-- IS Peninsula shelter cabin, ice trail-31 Miles.
 Due to the rigid economizing of the fedral budget, no funds were received this year from the government, by the Alaska Road Commission, for either construc- tion of, or repair to, shelter cab tns in the Second Division. Some of the cabins are probably in poor shape, but travellers are request ed to make the best of it, and if need be fix some of the minor damages if they stay at the cabin for any length of time.

 The Bonus Army is said to nur1- Der about ten thousand.

cH1LD,s MORNING MEAL

Children are not able to follow a. healthy, normal daily schedule unless they begin with nourlsn- ing breakfast. Nutrition experts have shown that a child is not able to gain enough food values through the day to make up for the lack in the early morning, if he goes to school without his breakfast. Children should arise in time to take their showers, have their faces scrubbed, clean handker- chiefs stuck into their pockets and then should really eat-not just play with-cereal, toast, perhaps a soft boiled egg, fruit and cocoa or milk. Report cards will show a marked improvement in their rating if appetites are, betetr. For say what you please, the quickest way to child's brain follows a stomach detour.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart

Life, especially in cities. resem-
 bles a merry-go-round that fS going faster and faster. It is quites natural that people should hold their breath, tighten their musclessF and wondter just when they are 2 going to fall off.
 But if you will relax you will discover that you aren't riding for fall at all. However, you can't remain wound up and escape. You. must conserve your energy instead of keeping your whole body in a state of tension. a
 A few simple exercises will prove. invaluable.
 If possible go to your favorite beautician as often as you can and : have her give you scalp treat ment. She will knead your scalp . with long, firm strokes that make :, every muscle go limp and send your !. blood along at gay, swift pace. : Then she will work on the large. muscles in your neck kneading them over and over again, Your head will hang in a loose fashion, But when you raise it you will be-. looking at life in an entirely new manner. v
 You can't work on these muscles in your neck with your own hands. :, There will be a tension.
 But you can perform some other simple exercises. Lie on your back. Let every part of your body fall as though it held no life. Your legs, your arms, your hands, your head. your neck. Be as immobile as a wooden figure. Now stretch your whole body. As far as you can. Relax. Don't control yourself. Imagine that you are a ball about to roll down a hill, and let your self roll. You won't, of course. You will be quiet.
 Another exercise which helps, but which requires assistance, con- sists in standing with your feet apart and letting your body drop :. forward from the waist. Pretend that you are as limp as the rag dolls that you kept in your play house when you were seven and, eight. Have someone place her. hands just below your shoulder. blades and work your back up and , down.
 If you want to relax, go in for some exercise or sport which you enjoy. Keep at it until you are genuinely, healthy tired. You will relax without any prescrip-' lions
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-10-06

and a vexed pout came to her lips. ."Oh, I forgot my camerai l wonder if you'd ride back and ask MalloS for it? I'll wait here"
 The escort grinned widely. Sure Miss" He turned his horse around, !, by jerking on one rein, and trotted back up the slope.
 Dona watched until he was al- most at the corals. Then she touched the roan with her spurs and galloped around the hill. AS soon as she was out of sight she doubled back and headed for the timbered slopes of Folly Mountain. A smile parted her soft lips os she thought of her bodyguard search ing miles down the canyon for her. Several minutes later she saw him galloping down the slope in mad haste. He disappeared into the can yon and Dona headed the roan for the place where the Blind River trail cut across the ridge.
 Dudley was completely forgotten. At first she had been angry with him for not returning and eager to teach him a lesson. Now as She moved up the steep trail she forgot eevrything except the beauty of the scene.
 Her plans were vague, but as she pushed on they began to take shape. She had to admit that the scheme was wild one and not likely to bear fruit. Still it might work out. At any rate, 1t would teach Dudley a lesson.
 An hours climb brought her to the saddle in the ridge. True to COW country trails, the Blind River trail wound across the mountain at the lowest point on the water shed. At her back lay the cuttings of the Delo Timber Company, while below her and ahead lay a great forest of virgin timber. Dona halt ed and gazed down over the dark green of the spruce and pine.
 Those giant trees were responsi- ble for the trouble in which She found herself. For them the timber cutters had invaded the ancient range of the COW men. Slopes had ben denuded and left to erode. Dona realized as she sat there just who had lived in the open and had known the forests all their lives. Then she remembered the ruthless manner in which the chosen scout of those COW men was acting and her lips frightened.
 "They think they can run us out." she whispered to the roan. "But 1t takes more than one lone gunman to do that. I'll see that Dad cuts over this slope if have to order 1t done myseli!"
 With a touch of her spurs she headed down into the timber. She would ride to the Blind River head quarters and ask for Stanley Black. If she found him she would try to enlist his ajd.l She did mt allow any other reason for wanting to see him to enter her thoughts. Stanley Black had helped her once and he would likely do it again. she told herself.
 A nasty glance at her watch told her that Dudley would be amply punished. for being late. He would have to put off going to Sam Deans till the next day.
