GOOD NEWS BAY TO
 BE SCENE OF MUCH
 WORK THIS SUMMER

Good News Bay district will be the scene of unusual mining activ- ity during the coming summer, ac- cording to Jay Johnson, veteran interior placer mining man, who visited friends here today. He is a passenger on the steamer Vic toria for Seward enroute to the lower Kuskokwim.
 He will have charge of platinum mining operations in the district for the Good News Bay Mining Company. He plans to work a crew of about 20 men.
 The Bear Creek Mining Com pany, MT. Johnson said, will do some extensive prospecting of some promising dredging ground in the same district. Several other op- erations, largely prospecting, are also assured this year.
 MT. Johnson is a pioneer of Fairbanks where he was engaged in placer mining for many years. He was one of group of practical miners employed by the Soviet government few years ago to in- troduce Alaskan mining methods into the Siberian placer fields. He was there for three years.

FOOTBRIDCE TO SPAN RIVER IN
 ABOUT 30 DAYS
Forest Service to Swing 250-foot Span Across
 Eagle River Soon

]. Construction by the United States Forest Service of a suspension foOtbridge across Eagle River in the immediate future was announc- ed today by Wellman Holbrook, Acting Regional Forester. The work will be done by a small crew under Foreman William Fronholz.
 The project is designed to aid prospecting and development work in the Eagle and Herbert River districts. It will link together Glacier Highway and the Eagle River mining trail and facilitate boat travel and transportation of supplies. SsnI
 The present design calls for a three-foot tread across the river. Four cables will be used, two for the suspension and two for the tread. The span will be about 250 feet in length. Camp will be es- tablished at Eagle River Friday and work will start at once. It is expected the bridge will be ready for use by May l.
 Ut is probable, MT. Holbrook said, that spur will be construct ed from the highway terminal to the bridge site. This will be of sufficiently high standard to per- init trucks to haul loads to the bridge.

get away from everything for a while, there was no indication of 1t around the White House. 7 Nor will he carry many wor- ries or cares of state along with him when he puts out to sea off Miami today or tomorrow. To use one of his favorite expressions, T don't do things that way"
 When he was asked by newspa- permen who would accompany him to Florida whether he would make Miami his headquarters during his stay, he laughingly but very en- phatically informed them no, but that Miami would be their head quarters.
 Those who have covered" pre- vious Roosevelt vacation trips knew exactly what he meant.
 ABILITY TO RELAX
 His ability for clearing his mind of all business to enjoy such pe- riods of relaxation-whether it be for two hours or two weeks never fails to amaze those asso- ciated with him. His mind enters wholly into the spirit of play when he so commands it..
 There's something to be said for his audacity in choosing to go on vacation at this time. Congress, while still held pretty much in check by the Administration, has shown an increasing tendency to get out of hand at times
 The fact that the President can show so little concern as to pick up and go off" on an extended fishing trip and forget all about it is bound to have it's effect.

Scents Be
Timely
BY JULIET SHELBY

Believe it or not, perfume now
comes in an ensemble. Stylists
have made women so conscious
of propriety Of dress that one
exquisite scent no longer will
suffice for the day hours as well
as the night hours.
Indeed, it is now decreed that
as you change your dress en-
semble, so must you change
your perfume. The gay, ex-
hilarating hours of the morning
demand a perfume that is like
the breath of Towering spring;
the midday hours of gossip and
excitement call for a sophisti'
Gated odor spicy in its tang;
while the slow night hours OF
intrigue and romance must be
beautifully scented with haunt
ing, alluring fragrances.
And rather nice it is to have
all this taken care of for you.
In three charming imported
crystal bottles, that will en-
hance any woman's dressing
table, are the perfumes that
will make your fragrance timely!
This perfume ensemble comes
nicely boxed in two sizes. The
miniature size, that sells for a
ridiculously low price, is to lure
you into the purchase of the
dressing table ensemble. And
if you think you can resist-just
try it!
Perfume should be subtle, tan
talizing and delicate. You should
keep your friends guessing about
the scents you wear. Learn that
a dash in back Of each ear and
a light swish with an atomizer
is sufficient. If several persons
remark about your perfume in
one day, call in the candid nos
trils of a friend for a bit of di-
rection.
And above aldo not go tip
ping the bottle on your coat col
lar or gown. If you cannot re-
sist being a tippler, use a hand
kerchief and tuck it in your bag.
It is better to have 1t closed up
