Record Lapa FloaO

THE most extensive now of lava from a vol
cano known In history was that from
Heclas or Kakla. located in Iceland, which, In
1888. was As miles long and Is miles wide.
Because Of the small population of the island,
however, 1t could hardly compare with those
tiveneSs.
Hecla stands about IS miles inland, where
1t makes an imposing sight. rising more than
5000 feet in the air in its lonely majesty. It
has i've craters, but not since 1845 have there
been any eruptions. Altogether In its known
history there have been 10 eruptions, but none
to compare with that Of l783

BALTIC, the Last Of the pair Of husky
dogs that were the canine heroes Of
j the diphtheria epidemic In Nome In
- the Winter Of 1925, followed his fellow
lead-dog. Togo. to the Happy Hunting Grounds.
Like Togo, Baltos hide is to be mounted and
placed In museum, but he has an even more
permanent memorial in stone. In Central
Park, New York City, there Is a statue Of an
Alaskan sledge dog, erected through contribu-
tions Of pennies by the children Of the city
and dedicated to BALTIC as monument to
the courage and endurance of dogs as the
willing servitors OF man.
At the first of 1925, child in Nome became
very i'll Although diphtheria was suspected,
the diagnosis was not confirmed until the child
had died and several others were sick. The
supply Of diphtheria serum in the far-northern
city was very low. The Arctic Winter had
isolated the Alaskan community from the out
side world by land and sea- The chairman Of
the Board Of Health went to Leonhard Seppala,
who bred In his kennels the fastest racing dogs
in the district, and asked him II he would
undertake the trip to Nulato, on the Yukon, for
more serum, In the event that planes were
unable to operate. Seppala consented, eager
to do what he could, and he Immediately began
to get his dogs into condition for the run
which he knew would be hard one.
About 6 o'clock in the frigid darkness of
January morning, the huskies in Seppala,s
kennels set up chorus of excited barking. The
dog driver crawled out of bed to find the cause
Of the commotion just as knock sounded at
the door. messenger from the city stood
there, asking him to leave at once for Nulato
because the diphtheria had reached epidemic
proportions and the supply of serum was almost
gone
Seppala dressed hastily and went out to his
kennels. BY the light Of an electric torch, he
selected 20 stout huskies. Twelve Of these
were to be left at different depots along the
way, to serve as fresh relays for the return
trip. Among these was BALTIC, who worked on
slow teams, but who had courageous heart
and could be relied upon to mush through.
The other eight dogs were picked for speed to
make the first stage Of the dash for aid. The
leader of this group was Togo.
The first day out on the trail the weather
was ideal Togo trotted proudly in the lead.
while Seppala, in his fur-ined parka, rode on
the sledge runners or ran beside the team,
urging them on In spite of late start they
made 80 miles that day. The next day they
made SO, and the third day found them 100
miles from Nome at Isaac's Point. On the
evening Of the following day they came to
Shaktolik, an Eskimo village on the south side
of great bay called Nortons Sound. The
weather was still good and the ice sound, SO

Of Swinging in the Grapevine Swing
my memory carries me back to the
days Of the vaudeville team Of Harrigan g.
Hart, the old Muldoon Series, Dave Bra
ham, Annie Yeamans, etc. Hart died
in an insane asylum and Ned Harrigan
starred in piece called Pete the only
time I believe Harrigan played Negro
part. In this play he had number Of
Negro songs, which he sang with other
members Of his company, among which
were Annie Yeamans (mother Of Jennie
Yeamans Tftus) CO., Johnny Wild and
others. The song of Swinging in the
Grapevine was sung by one Of the
cast with large chorus, with cotton
field back drop. Another song was Let
Us Wander Where the Sweet Magnolia
Grows The principal song was sung by
Harrigan and named after the play
Pete He sat in front center stage with
small child on his knee The song ran:

TRADE IS BRISK
ON RALLY IN
STOCKS
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. II G.N.S0. d.
Meeting support after yesterdays
sharp decline, the stock market
rallied today in active dealings.
The rebound was accompanied
by considerable irregularity in a
number of issues as further
forced selling came into the list
following the recent decline.
Some Hesitancy Displayed
Stocks displayed considerable
hesitancy on the recovery, how
ever, reflecting the jolt to senti-
ment by the break in prices
since the Liberty Loan conversion
plan was announced.
The dollar weakened, falling
to SO cents gold after being up to
II cents yesterday. Gold curren-
cles were especially in demand.
Bonds were mixed.
Stocks opened on a steadier
note even though a few issues
such as the tobaccos, foods and
Auburn were weak. Support was
apparent in the mining list, steels,
liquors and rails with National
DiStillers showing an overnight
Jump of 4 points.
Price Fixing Aids Oils
Oils were benefited by the an
nouncement that the control
board headed by Secretary of In
terror Ickes had decided to fix
prices at Sill a barrel for crude
oil.
The rise in the Treasury's daily
gold price helped the gold shares.

NEW YORK, Oct. II G.N.S).
Yesterdays decline has put the
whole speculative structure in a
critical position.
There is a general conviction
that either the markets will turn
somewhere in here, perhaps after
the forced selling is out of the
way, or that an extended spill
may develop, with serious roper
cuSSions on business. We are in
clined to look for a turn.
Commodity stocks probably re-
present the best speculation.
First of all, they have suffered
the worst break in the last few
weeks. In addition, some definite
initiation is likely to materialize
to help put commodities up.

HINES DEPUTY
REGISTRARFOR
SANTA CRUZ

H. c. Sparks of Phoenix, Regis
trar of Constructors for Arizona,
was here this week calling on local
contractors and appointed Leo Hines
as his deputy in Santa Cruz county.
The new contractors law. House
Bill No. l76. relating to and reglllat-
ing the business Of contracting in
Arizona, has been signed by the
Governor and sanctioned as law up
on the expiration of the requisite
time.
It is law regulatory in character
and designed to create the greatest
responsibility in the building in
dustry by eliminating the dishonest
contractor, and therefore, making
for fair and true comptition.
Closely related to the building in
dustry is the building public or home
owner who during the last few years
has been subjected to unlawful pay
ments because of the liens placed
upon their property, ultimately, by
virtue of the dishonesty of the con-
tractor. This law corrects this de-
feet in that it exacts stricter super
vision over those contracting, and
by giving notice to all people as to
who are the licensed and reliable
contractors.
Another class in this relation is
labor which during the last few
years has suffered much by the p-o-
miscuous sub-contracting of labor
alone, which is virtual destruction
of fair wages to labor This defect
is cured by the terms of the Con-
tractors law.
Therefore, by the elimination of
the irresponsible contractor, every
evil which now affects the building
industry will be destroyed. And it
is the destruction Of this evil that
is contemplated in the Contractors
law.

PATRIOTIC CR|MES,'.
PLEA Of ASSASS|NS.
Trial of Japanese Officers in
Staying of Premier
kearS End.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, August 2s.-The state began
summations today In the court-martial
at Yokosuka naval base Of II officers
charged with participation in the assas-
sination last May of Premier Inukai
and accompanying acts of terrorism.
Direct testimony ended and defense
attorneys USED as the principal theme
of their pleas that American support OF
the London naval treaty justified the
young japanese cadets in their convic-
ton that Japanese leaders acceptance
of the treaty constituted national be-
trayal.
Senate Minutes Offered.
Pursuing the argument stressed by
the defense since the trial began 18
days ago that indignation over this
national betrayal" largely justified the
accused men il their patriotic crimes,
attorneys offered as evidence copy OF
the stenographic minutes OF the Amerl-
can Senate's Foreign Relations Com
mittee debate concerning the treaty In
1880. =,
It was maintained that arguments OF
American supporters OF the treaty
nroyed the Righteousness of the jap
anese antagonists to it.
Attorneys cited what they described
as the social campaign of William
r. Castle, jr, then acting Amer
lean Ambassador, and Mrs. Castle
among highly placed japanese in TOXIC
three years ago as an example OF now
japanese civilian authorities succumbed
to American diplomatic blandish-
ments."
Several hours of such arguments
were supported by evidence" in news
paper articles and other attacks on the
London treaty.
Dramatic Conclusion.
Lieut.. Hiroshi Yamagishi, the last OF
The accused to testify, dramatically con-
cluded with the argument that jap
anese naval leaders had the right TO
obtain all the strength they deemed
necessary for the safety of the empire
and that they must never be limited by
civilian authorities.
If the constitution OF the empire
opposes this stand" he maintained
'.then the constitution must be altered.
"Other powers will suffer more than
Japan If naval limitation ceases and
competition in building is resumed.

Offensive Plans Changed With

PORTLAND, Greg, August 28.-Con-
fident the worst forest fire in Oregons S

leaders of firefghting organizations

action with a new offensive plan today.
The principal point of the offensive
was the concentrating Of fighters south

dead calm, the direct opposite of
the gales that rushed the flames
through more than 1900 square miles
of valuable timber last week, aided the
firefghters early today.
Many tales of courage are fllterlng
In from the fire front, as the men go
into the second week of continuous
battle. Chief amongst these are stories
lauding the work of the more than
900 Civilian Conservation Corps work
ers in the area, many of them from
Chicago and its suburbs. They have
been commended by veteran woodsmen
for their willingness to face danger.
