Lower Costs Per Mile

These two tests support one thing
a host of satisfied AMOCO users
have long known. That whether
with light car or heavy truck --with
four cylinders--six cylinders--or
eight cylinders --AMOCO-CAS and
Motor Oil mean low costs per
mile.
AMOCO-CAS gives more miles
to the gallon--greater riding and
driving ease--every premium per-
formance at a reduced premium
price. (AMOCO-CAS premium re-
duced 2e per gallon July 7th).
Make it AMOCO all the way and
ride out the facts for yourself!

TARLY last Summer the Contest
IL Board of the American Auto
mobile Association officially super
vised a 5000 mile Economy Run at
Washington, d. C.. The car used
was a brand new stock Ford VI
Sedan--sealed in eleven places to
insure against any possible adjust
ment or tampering.
AMOCO-CAS and AMOCO Motor
Oil were used exclusively. This Ford
V-8 Sedan, even though driven con-
tinuously in and out of traffic,
averaged 22.5 miles to the gallon
of AMOCO-CAS.
Just recently similar test was
officially conducted by the A. A. A.
Contest Board with a Ford V-8
White Freighter Truck, sealed in
thirteen places to prevent possible
adjustment. Again AMOCO-GAS
and AMOCO Motor Oil were used
exclusively.
Even though loaded with 1856
pounds of heavy sand bags, and
even in the face of torrential rains,
heavy winds, uncertain roads and
traffic, this Ford V-8 truck, fueled
with AMOCO-CAS and fabricated
with AMOCO Motor Oil, turned in

PIERCE BELIEVED TO HAVE
 STOLEN PETERSBURG BOAT

Following the escape of Charles Fierce from the Wrangell Federal ail on Sunday night, July 30, a kiff was stolen on Wednesday night rom Dennis Miller and oars from Fred Wickland.
 Pierce was suspected of the theft and an extensive search was made of the district between Wrangell and Petersburg and at the mouth of the Stikine.
 Word was received Wednesday from the marshal's office at Peters, burg that a skiff had been found there answering the description of the Miller boat and that a better boat equipped with a 12 h. p. Sea Horse outboard motor was missing from Petersburg.
 It seems evident that Pierce, who was taken up at Wrangell with a boat stolen at Ketchikan, enjoys that method of transportation.

M. B. DAHL INTERESTED IN
 ADMIRALTY ISLAND COAL FIELD

M. B. Dahl, who moved from Wrangell fifteen years ago and now has his home in Tacoma, was busi- ness visitor here the latter part of the week. He was accompanied by his second son, Stanley.
 MT. Dahl last year leased his crab cannery at Hoods Bay to F. J. Comeau of the Alaska Fisheries Inc, and is now giving his attention to coal mining properties on Admiralty Island where a crew of six men are working to determine more fully the extent and value of the coal de- posits. MT. Dahl's concern is in es- tablishing a market for the product which he considers of superior quail ity to other Alaska fields.
 To inquiring friends he reported that the seven Dahl children are vigorous and well. Frederick, the eldest son, who was born in Wran- gell, is now husky Is year old, six feet and one inch tall He is working through the summer vacation at the Hoods Bay cannery.

- DIR. CARLSON IS ELECTED SEC'Y OPTOMETRY BOARD

Dr. Rae L. Carlson, Ketchikan op- tometrist, stopped off in Wrangell the first of the week while enroute home from Juneau where she met last week with Dr. Robert Simpson of Juneau and Dr. A. Brown of Fair banks to organize the new Alaska Board of Examiners in Optometry as provided by the last legislature.
 Dr. Simpson was elected president of the board and Dr. Carlson, secre- tary.
 The new law prohibits any person, not a registered optometrist to fit. sell or dispose of or to take, receive or solicit any order for fitting spec tacles, eyeglasses or lenses. It also prohibits the peddling of spectacles, eyeglasses or lenses from house to house or in the streets or highways and provides penalties for the viola tion of any of the terms of the law.

HIDER BACHELORS FORGED
 TO FOREGO BAKERY BREAD

Bakery bread and bakery confee- tlons made of flour are now unob- tainable in Hydsr as a result of a peculiar development in connection with the governments new scheme to reimburse farmers for reducing their wheat acreage by imposing a processing tax on flour and other milled grain products, reports the Hyder Herald.
 AS there is no bakery in Hyder all bread sold there is imported from stewart, on the Canadian side of the Doundry and a mile away from the Alaska town. The imported bread is subject to the flour tax, according to ruling of the Internal Revenue department. This, however, would not prevent the imported bakery products being sold there were it not for a provision of the regula- tions requiring that wheat products including yeast-leavened bread, inn ported from foreign countries must be held at the customs house until a sworn statement of the importer is filed with the district collector, which, in the case of Hyder, means at Tacoma, and cannot be released by the local customs office until a receipt for the tax paid is returned by the district collector. As this process would require about three weeks, the ruling amounts to a vir- tual embargo on bread from Canada, as such bread would be decidely stale before it could be released by the Hyder customs office.
 As no one at Hyder appears to want to go into the baking business most of the sourdough bachelors are now making their own and inciden- tally doing some cussing about gov ernment regulations.

HEAVY PINK SALMON RUNS EXPECTED
 HIT WRANGELL DIST. ABOUT AUG. 1S

The pink salmon runs which came in so heavy last week that both canneries were compelled to work overtime, have become much lighter and only outside crews were working today until late this after noon when tenders brought in fish TOT each cannery.
 During the week the runs dropped off very noticeably in North Ernest Sound, Bradfield Canal, west shore of Etolin Island, Zimovia Strait and Stikine Strait. This is according to normal schedules, states Shirley A Baker district agent for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, and is nothing to occasion alarm as the runs in these areas usually slack up after the first good showings and later pick up again.
 Good Showings
 Good showings appeared during the week in sections of Sumner Strait from Port Protection to Point Colboys and from Point Amelius in- cluding the northwest arm of Sum ner Strait to Rocky Pass and also from Point Barry to Totem Bay.
 According to reported informa- tion indications look favorable for runs to appear in Clarence Strait from Cape Chacon following the west shore of Prince of Wales island to Narrow Point.
 If these reports are well founded these fish should hit the Wrangell section of east shore of Prince of Wales from Narrow Point to Whale Passage around the fourteenth or fifteenth of this month.
 Olive Cove Opened
 In view of the favorable run and escapement into Olive Cove at the southern portion of Zimovia strait MT. Baker recommended that Olive Cove be thrown open to commercial

Alaska Boy Thought
 Saved By Plane Trip

Press dispatches state that David Loof, 5-year-old son of Henry Loof at Lay bay on Kodiak island, was safely landed at Anchorage by Pilot Harry Blunt who made a heroic trip through stormy weather in order to get him to the Anchorage hospital for an operation for acute appen- dicitis.
 The case was diagnosed by a Seattle doctor, A. H. Scoring of Har- borview hospital, through amateur wireless messages which were un- able to get to Anchorage. The mes sages were relayed Friday from Seattle and Pilot Blunt left with Dr. A. S. Walkowski in seaplane through a storm which twice forced hem down.
 Returning with Mrs. Loof and the child who was being treated by Dr. Walkowski, Blunt was fog bound on Barren island but reached Anchorage Saturday after thirty hours elapsed time and ten hours of actual flying.
 The boy underwent an operation and is believed to have a good chance of recovery.

Dentist Says Civilized
 Diet Causes Bad Teeth

Dr. Weston A. Price, of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the foremost dental authorities on diet in the United States was in Wrangell Saturday and Sunday continuing his research work among the Indians of Alaska and British Columbia.
 The Doctor is on his way home after making an extensive examina- tion of dental conditions and col lecting data from Eskimo and h. terior Alaska natives, and supple menting this work by trip into the Liard district of British Columbia.
 He finds where the native and Eskimo have not come into contact with civilizied diet, that they have perfect teeth, and carries, or decay, is rarity. But as soon as they for sake their normal foods, and begin using the white flour, timed foods, and other products of modern man, that the rayages of decay begin.
 This is due, Dr. Price contends, to the fact that the diet of the white man is deficient in calcium, or lime, and phosphorus. Particularly in the lack of the latter element, he planes the appalling amount of de-
 ay found in the last generation of natives. From nearly perfect teeth in the older generation he finds that only 44% of the teeth of the young natives are not affected with decay.
 He greatly planes white bread and flour. In the process of manu- fracture the bran and outer coats of the wheat are removed, and these parts are highest in phosphorus con tent, He recommends the use of whole wheat bread, cheese, and fresh milk as foods containing the neces- sary elements to promote healthy growth of bone and teeth.
 Dr. Price has a clinic in Cleve- land, Ohio, which he leaves in charge of his assistants while away doing research work. He expects to go to the peninsula of Yucatan, in southern Mexico, after collecting additional data along the Naas river in British Columbia.
