All the early fall Paris collections
stress the Importance Of velvet. Spe-
cial emphasis is being placed on vel
vet worn In a practical way. Young
girls will wear about town swagger
coats Of velvet with matching velvet
berets. There will also be many neat
ly tailored jacket suits Of velvet, q
fashion which will be sure to appeal
to the college girl. An outstanding
theme on the fall program is the sim
pie one-piece velvet dress Of the type
illustrated which will be found very
useful the season through, since it can
be worn quite informally during the
days activities. A rhinestone clip at
the neckline with q wide matching
bracelet provides the glittering note
which characterizes most costumes in
the new scheme Of things.

TOKYO, Jan. 12.-Japan must
prepare and is preparing to de-
fend herself against what appears
to be Americas policy of has
tily encircling Japan by every
possible means"
This published statement is at
tributed to Vice-Admiral Nobum-
asa Suetsugu, Commander of the
Japanese Nays combined fleets.
The statement was made in an
interview in a monthly magazine.
Instances
AS enlightenment instances, the
interview cited Col Charles A.
Lindbergh's leisurely flight along
the Kuriles in 1881, and Harold
Bromiey's abortive attempt to fly
the Pacific one year previous.
Il may be mistaken" the Vice
Admiral said in the interview, but
/ think it possible they were spy
ing on those islands.
Some time ago, an American
Lieutenant hoped off from Japan
on an alleged Trans-Pacific flight
and attempted to turn back. I
think failure was purposeful.
Lindbergh Flight
Then Col. Lindbergh stayed
in the Kuriles over week on the
excuse of bad weather. The
length of the stay gave grounds
for suspicion today.
Americans are surveying the
Aleutians on a great scale, using
cutters, airplanes and telegraph
corps.
Il think this means the Ameri-
can policy is to surround Japan
with every possible means in the
event of war, before the clash of
the main fleets"

in Basement Home of
White Woman, Negro

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. 12.-The
24-day-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Luciano, kidnapped
from their tenement home by a
woman believed to have had a
mother complex, was found last
night after a two-day search in
the basement apartment occupied
by a white woman and her negro
husband.
Stackhouse is charged with kid
mapping and Angus Stackhouse,
her husband, a CWA worker, is
held on a charge of aiding and
abetting in the kidnapping.
The woman first claimed the
child was hers and collapsed when
a blood test disproved the claim.
The woman said the child was
brought to her by woman she
only knew as Mrs. Jackson, who
paid her $4 to take care of it for
a short time.
Deputy Chief Inspector Vincent
j. Sweeney said he did not believe
the story told by Mrs. Stackhouse.

GAME STOCKING
PROGRAM OPENS
ON ALASKA R. R.
Dufresne Returns After
Establishing Four Rab-
bit Trapping Camps

After having launched Two of
the CWA projects on the Alaska
Game Commissions restocking
program, Warden Frank Dufresne
returned home yesterday on the
steamer Yukon from Seward. He
established four 12-man camps
along the Alaska Railroad and
these are now operated at full
blast.
The project calls for trapping of
snowshoe rabbits which will be
transported from Seward to Ko-
diak and distributed from there
to suitable areas on Kodiak and
Afognak Islands Not less than
1000 of the animals will be ia
ken.
Wiped Out by Volcano
1t is reported that rabbits were
originally indigenous to Kodiak
Afognak group of islands The
Mt. Katmai eruption in 1912 ax-
terminated them and no new
stock has ever been placed on
them. Natural feed is said to be
abundant in the district AMI con-
ditions favorable to stocking.
1t is expscated that the rabbits
will do well, and in a few years
form an important adjunct to the
food supply of the Indians on the
islands. The sole native meat
available for them now is said to
be brown bear.
Mr.. Dufresna established camps
at Moraine, Girdwood, Ship Creek
and Ekiutna. All of the employ
ees are Indians except the super
visors who are registered and IL
censed big game guides. The Su-
pervisors are: Luke Elwell, Jack
Hubschmid, 'Slim" Crawford and
Frank Revelle. To make trapping
easier and more productive than
that under the regular line sys-
tenn, near each camp lure, made
by telling and piling brush under
which was placed alfalfa hay, was
constructed. This is said to draw
rabbits from the entire vicinity
Light snowfall was reported to
make ordinary trapping difficult.
Employ Needy Indians
In assembling the CWA crews,
Mr.. Dufresne and Warden Jack
O'Connor visited 10 small outlying
Indian settlements. After explain
ing the program, they picked three
of the most needy of the villag-
ers. These were concentrated in
the four camps At Anchorage all
of the Indians on the City's relief
rolls were given jobs, and the
same policy was followed at Sew
ard. Enroute to Seward from

interested in the project.
