WHITE TRAPPERS SNATCH RICHES
 FROM BARRENS
Temperature North of Tree Line Often 90
 Below

Edmonton, Alberta -- (UP)-- Teachers on Q vast icy tundra, . handful of white trappers arc snatehing riches in furs from the Barrens, as desolato, forbidding Q reglon as exists on tho globe
 Operating along tho shores of Artillery Lake, these trappers dare tho "worid's worst" weather for whito fox pelts and other skins.
 For a flow months each year they are separated from tho out. side world. The Barrens are 0 sav- age Arctic waste, penetrated by few persons even in the summon, when they are covered by moss and small flowers.
 Icy Winds
 But in tho winter these winds whistle over icy snow packs with unbelievable violence. The tem- pcrature often drops to % below zero.
 Tho Barrens begin suddenly at Q point north of tho timber limo which stretches from Groat Slave Lake, far north of Edmonton, to tho southern portion of Artillery Lnke. The timber does not become smaller and smaller toward tho Barrens, struggling off to bush and scrub growth. It morely stops as though sheared off by the knife. like edge of son1e great glacier.
 Those who trap in this land are "poaehors" In tho senso that they defy those laws that say white mon cannot survive the terrible cold of the Barrens. Eyen to thoso accustomed to 60 and GO below zero temperatures in northern Canada 1t seoms incredible that white mon should Do able to with stand the % below mark Of tho
 Most of tho original Barren lands trapper-advonturers arc no more. Jack Hornby, aristoeratie, wealthy and eccentric British sol- dier of fortune, died from starva. ton with his two young compan. Ions. AdIard and Christian, two partners, Olsen and Bode were murdered in their sleep by an Es- kimo who sought their firearms The famed Blackio Lanner died Q suicide. Norwegian, deserted his traplinee to become 0 minor tn tho Great Bear Lake district. Others have followed his suit.
 When fur prices wero high c few season back tho Barrens of- fered . high-prieed exoeutivo's in- come to those hardly enough to brave theIr rigors. Three brothers eieared S80,000 in two years from their traps. A ione trapper made SiS,000 in c single winter.
 But that was whom white fox polts brought as much as S7b. Now such furs sell in tho north for siO to S20. All other furs have dropped in ratio.

ZZED'S NAME
 JUST HOAX

Birmingham, Aia-(UP)-At the foot of tho lists of telephones for the United States is the name of A. ZZed, of Birmingham, but it's all just e hoax--and MT Zzed is Q non- existent person.
 When four Birmingham men moved into Q bachelor apartment some time ago, they faced the problem of paying for four listings of their telephone number. Then came the idea Of common nun. ber under q eognomen composed of q syllable Of the name of each. That idea, however, was discarded when 1t was found that Jones and Brown couldn't be merged with two other names that were rather difficult to pronounce.
 Tho four thought next to adopt Q nnme that would bo first in the phone directory. That idca, too, failed whom 0 book containing oven the oldest Of names failed to al. vulgo ono that started with four As. That destroyed their hopes of museling in above the A. A. A. (AlabanG Automotive Associa. tion).
 So the name Zged was decided upon. "Just look at the last num- Dor in the book" they tell friends who ask their phono number.

GASTANCA To
GET BIC TEST

CHICAGO, April 81. U.P) - On
his record Isidore Gastanga OF
Spain can punch but the immediate
question Of whether or not he can
punch a boxer of Tommy Lough-
ran s cleverness will be decided at
10 rounds or less at, the Chicago
stadium tonight.
During his five-year career the
big Spaniard has chalked up Is
first round knockoutS, most OF
them over lads in foreign bouts that
never found their way into record
books. The best known heavyweight
Gastanaga has kicked over was
Charley Retzlaff, of Duluth. To-
night they re feeding him Tommy
Loughran, master at boxing and
former holder of the light-heavy-
weight title.
The bout should prove definite
ly whether or not Gastanaga is SIM
ply another tough, willing puncher
or a real threat in the heavyweight
division. Loughran was rated as
7 to favorite today.
