DISCUS WINNER
 IS IN TRAINING
 FOR MOVIES NOW

LOS ANGELES, May 18-Johr Anderson, Olympic discus racorc holder by virtue of his toss of 16z feet 4% inches to win the event for the United States here last summer, is training his vocal cords and muscular shoulders these days with two objectives.
 The former track and football star of Cornell college is studying elccution at a Hollywood studio preparatory to doing some work in motion pictures.
 He also is in serious training at the University of California at Los Angeles for the defense of his national A.AU. title at Chicago this summer.

Ideal for big orders, they prov3d expensive when the rolls had to be readjusted all along the line and much material wasted for each small order after a period of idle ness.
 Costing a seventh or an eighth as much and able to produce a third as much, according to it's in- ventor, A. P. Steckel the "baby" mill has entered the picture.
 Instead of 10 or 12 stands of rolls, Steckel built a mill of one stand, four rolls high, through which he passed a ribbon of stael back and forth from one bobbin to another.
 Some of the licenses have gone to companies already owning big continuous mills, presumably be- cause the "baOy" mill can be cper- ated on Tuesday, remain idle the rest of the week, and still make a profit.
 The steel trade sees two possible results from the single stand mill. Comparatively inexpensive, it may lead to construction of rolling mills by small companies, thus encour- aging d decentralization of indus try.
 Another possibility is new prod ucts. Steckel has rolled "onion skin' steel to the thickness of .00l of an inch-thinner than news print. Easily torn across with the fingers, it is impossible to pull it apart by hand.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 18.- Operating percentages of the steel industry are on the climb again which means smoky pail over the valley mills and fiery skies at night from Bessemer~ converters along the Mahoning.
 Operations at 40 per cent of ca pacity, anticipated by many before long, msan optimism today, though that is far short of the 85 per cent in proSnerous years.
 The reason is that economics have been effected and new inven- tions developed, so that it is a common saying among steel men that they can operate at only 40 per cent today and at a profit.
 New Baby Mills Built
 Perhaps greatest among the changes are in the rolling mill op- erations.
 Eight sheet and strip mills were being built in January, and IT were completed in 1882. Since the first of the year two other contracts have been let.
 But they are "baby" mills com pared to the continuous mills, cost ing from $2,OoOo0O to $25,000,00C erected in the five years previous to 1930
 With 10 or 12 stands of rolls in a line and a reheating furnace midway, the continuous mills re- duced the hot ingots to the fin ished product in a continuous op- eration of few minutes.

The coming of summer is a strong temptation for many wom- en to overdo this suntan fad. Some sun is very beneficial but the idea can be carried to an extreme where it is injurious both to ones health and beauty. Many women have a. type of skin that cannot stand too much sunshine. They should be careful, when on the beaches, to guard themselves with oil mas sagas, and also not to remain in the blistering rays too long.

10 AU WhO Suffer Stomach
 Agony, Gas and Indigestion
Money Back If One Bottle of Dare's Mentha Pepsn Doesn't
 Do You More Good Than Anything You Ever Used.

Why bother with slow actors when one tablespoonful of this splendid and pleasant liquid rem edy will cause gas, bloating heavi- ness, heartburn or any upset con- dition of the stomach to speedily vanish.
 And why should any man or woman suffer another hour with indigestion or any stomach misery when the remedy that acts almost instantly can be easily procured?
 But there is more to say about this remarkable remedy-something that will interest thousands of des- pondent people.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-05-18

Dare's Mentha Pepsin not only quickly relieves stomach distress, but it also conquers stubborn in- digestion, dyspepsia and gastritis, and puts an end to dizziness, nerv- ousness, headache, sleeplessness and spond ency which distressing troubles are nearly always caused by severe stomach disturbance.
 Dare's Mentha Pepsin is su- premely good remedy that Butler Mauro Drug Co. and druggists everywhere guarantee, is a fine tonic that builds you up and makes you work with vim, eat with relish and sleep soundly. -adv.

car operates easier the less you force

guide it carefully. The best steering
Is accomplished not by gripping the
wheel like holding on for dear life,

an attitude of guiding rather than
forceful driving.
But, of course, don't fuss with those
stray locks. This party I'm drawing
conclusions from will probably land up

that sort OF queer design for living.
Women who have found it difficult
to handle the car with one hand while
busy signaling or shifting gears with

this you find it quite easy to swing the

The methods used for removing snow

make shoulders look like the paved
portion of the road. Keep more toward
the center and avoid the risk of run

under the basket when the ball comes

would land a good many goals just

GERMAN NEWS RADIO
TO BE FOR AMERICA
Hitler Ministry of Propaganda
Apparently Following Example
Set by Russia.

Apparently taking its cue from the
neighboring Russians, who regularly
have used their high-power broadcast
ing stations to broadcast programs in
tended for reception in other continen-
tai countries, Chancellor Hitler's newly
formed ministry of propaganda has an
nounced its intention Of radioing a
daily news service in English via the
short wave for reception by Germans
in the United States"
Germanys radio system was recently
nationalized, and the Hitlerites have
made no effort to disguise their purpose
Of using the radio for propaganda pur-
poses. While occasional rebroadcasJs
American networks-the speakers usu-
ally being noted American journalists
or outstanding persons in German pub
lie life-it is not regarded likely that
the networks here will pick up these
short wave transmissions if they are of
& propaganda character
The Hitlerite bureau disavows its in
tention in this instance OF sending out
propaganda, but has announced it will
send cultural" programs over the short
waves nightly after April l for Ameri-
can reception. Since relatively few
American homes are equipped with
short wave radios, it is not expected
that these programs will win a very
large audience in this country. Mean
while. Hitler himself has decreed that
the German broadcasting system shall
refrain from carrying American jazz
music.
