BY ALEXANDER r. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. An
aerial combat force second to none
is the goal of government planners
who are concentrating attention
on Americas flying strength.
Plans call for an army air corps
fleet of 1900 planes and a naval
force of 1000 planes, which would
put Uncle Sans air strength on a
par with that of France, which now
leads the great powers numerically
with 3,738 military craft.
While this country has ranked
No. in naval aviation power for
some time. it has been rated sec
ond or third in all-around military
air strength. Differences in or
ganization, in types and in effec-
tiveness of aircraft together with
the relative obsolescence of planes,
make it almost impossible, mill
tary observers say, to determine
the relative standing in combat
efficiency of various air powers.
France Leads Numerically
Frances supremacy is based
largely on its numerical superiority
although its first line planes are
of the finest type. The United
States is said to be second among
the "big five" in number of planes
while John Bulls squadrons are
rated very high because of their
general efficiency. Italy's aerial
fleet is among the finest while
japan ranks high both in num-
bers and reputed effectiveness.
A comparative table compiled
from the best information available
shows the United States with a
grand total of 2,739 military
planes; Japan, 1869 planes, the
British Empire, 1893, and Italy
2,203. 1t is estimated that Rus
sia's military planes number around
5000, though actual statistics have
not been made public.
Germany is prohibited from hav-
ing military airplanes by the treaty
of Versailles military avia-
ton in that country is rated
among the worlds best.
U. s. Has Advantages
Two highly important factors
work to the advantage of the
United States in building a strong
air defense-the natural barriers
against large scale air invasion
afforded by the great expanses OF

President Hurries Back to
Washington Instead
of Hyde Park

ENROUTE WITH ROOSEVELT,
Aug. 23-President Roosevelt hur-
ried back to the White House today
as fresh reports sprang up of a
sharp controversy over NRAs re-
organization.
The President paid his last re-
spects to former Speaker of the
House Rainey at the funeral serv-
ices yesterday in Carrolton, Hi
nois, and changed his plans to go
to Hyde Park and started on his
return to the National Capital in
stead where there is an argument
between Johnson and Richberg
over the MIRA structure.
The President is expected to take
command of the situation and
outline definitely the principles for
the recovery reorganization.

ALL EXCEPT SIX
BOOTHS RENTED,
ASSERTS MARTIN
Outlook Fine for Coming
Fair, Manager Martin
Tells Chamber Today

With every booth, except six,
rented for the next Southeast Al
aska Fair, September 1915, the
indications point to a highly sue
cessful exposition this year, Ralph
B. Martin. Manager, told the
Chamber of Commerce today. The
Chamber voted to rent its usual
space Of two booths.
Exhibits are arriving for the Fair
from all parts of Alaska, Mr. Mar
tin said. A dozen educational dis
plays have been sent in from as
many different schools, and floral
and vegetable exhibits promise to
be unusually large and exception
ally fine.
Local Entertainment
Local talent has been engaged
and is preparing an excellent pro-
gram for the four days. The Fair
management this year will operate
the dance floor instead of renting
it out on concession basis. Dane
ing probably will be free the first
three evenings with a pay dance
on the closing night.
The usual admission charges will
be made-25 cents for afternoons
and so cents for evening for adults
Local merchants who have had
advertising booth space in former
years have rented booths for this
year. The out-of-town rentals are
about double those OF last year, Mr.
Martin said.
Have Met Indebtedness
Although the Fair Association has
not had any easy time of it, it has
succeeded in meeting interest pay
ments on its securities, floated to
construct the Fair Building in
1927, and has also retired some of
its principal. 1t is confident it
will be able to meet this years
interest. though it may not retire
any of the outstanding bonds.
Its success has largely been made
possible by local cooperation. 1t
is confident that it will be assisted
this year as generously as in the
past, declared Mr.. Martin.
A special committee composed of
j. B. Warrack, George Brink, N. L..
Trcast and Wellman Holbrook was
appointed by Acting President
Frank Garnick to have charge of
the Chambers display.
Phillips Sees improvements
Juneau is vastly improved town
compared to what it was when he
left here in 1920. said A. B. Phil
lips, City Superintendent of Schools,
who was guest Of the Chamber
today. He expressed pleasure at
getting back here.

 Chairman Campbell, who made the arrangements through the courtesy and cooperation of WLW, known as the most powerful sta tion in the world, calls the atten- tion of all Legionnaires to the im- portance of those who hear the program writing to WLW. In fact, 1t has been stated that If the prop CT amount of; responses are. re- ceived, this powerful station will be open to the American Legion dur ing the winter of 1934-35 for some additional, programs that the Le- zion may desire on a variety of subjects. Therefore, 1t is espe- cially requested that as many of these letters be sent to WLW fol- lowing each of these two broad casts as possible.

fur was stained with crimson in
 dozen places. For a full minute the Iioness remained poised over
 her lifeless foe. Deep rOars vi- brated in her throat. Her eyes still burned with bitter hatred; the reeking scent of the tigress still ciung to her nostrils.
 | Presently whimpering sound made her head jerk sideways. Her lips curled pack from her fangs.. The fur on her thick neck bristled like a stiff mane.
 On the opposite side of the cage she could see the six tiger cubs covering together against the planki ng. Mommie snarled. Crouching, she stalked across the cage. Instinct told her these young were Sally's. The scent of the tigress hung over them.
 Mommie stalked nearer. She would kill them as their mother had killed her cub. Mommie glow cred down at them. Then, the blind cubs, sensing mother near, whined softly. Mommie hesitated. They sounded so much like her own. One little fellow, bolder than the rest, toddled to Mommie's
 paw and muzzled 1t, purring softly.
 Suddenly all the hatred in Mom- mics eyes faded away. She dropped her head to the cub and whimpered, Her warm tongue
 licked at his soft little body. Mom-
 mic nosed him to one side and her lips closed gently over the scruff of his neck.
 Gently she picked him up, turned and carried him through the shattered partition, then she
 laid him down beside her own
 three remaining cubs. Soon all six
 of the tiger cubs were cuddled with her own.
 Then Mommie lay down beside them and curled her warm body close about them. Her soft muZzlo comforted them whenever they
 whimpered, until finally they were all asleep. Then Mommie dropped
 her head and slept, too.
 And it was thus that the animal men found her in the morning when the cages were Inloaded.j The smashed partition, the dead tigress and Mommie's lifeless little
 cub told Jim Haley their own story
 of the battle. Later, watching the lioness tending her adopted cubs along with her own, Jim remarked to
 Barton: "Well, I don't think we'll
 have to worry over those tiger
 cubs after all. And Sally was get.
 ting too troublesome, anyway.
 Sooner or later we'd have had to
 do away with her." V While Barton nodded in agree
 ment, Jim reached into the cage and scratched Mommie's ear, but
 she was far too busy washing her
 large family to take much notice
 of him. l

MOMMIE SETTLES IF.

along through the darkened hills and valleys, Jim Haley and the animal men slept, unaware of the trouble up ahead. Again and again Mommie lunged at the planking, her ruthless claws tearing huge splinters out at each leap. On the other side the tigress growled Tn hatred, but there was something in Mommie's throbbing roars that made the tigress back away from the partition splitting and snarling.
 Mommie gouged chunk after chunk of wood out. of the parti- tion until at last one plank buckled under her three hundred pounds. The tigress packer into corner, her face a screaming mask of satanic fury.
 Once again Mommie lunged, ciawed, ripped at the partition un- til another plank gave beneath her efforts. Now she was in the cage with Sally.

THE END.
PREFER
 BED TO SERVICES
University Students Rath- CT Sleep Than Attend
 Church

Cleveland (UP)-Three-fourths of the men students and more than half of the women, of Western Re- serve university. would rather sleep Sunday mornings than go to church. They admitted so in a questionnaire designed to deter dents.
 The questionnaire revealed that:
 Seventy-six per cent of the men and 55 per cent of the women would rather sleep Sundays than attend services.
 Fifteen per cent of the men turned either agnostic, or atheis- tic during their college attend ance.
 Not one girl became a disbe- liever because of college influence.
 Most of them believed prayer useful and prayer in a crisis.
 Most of them would prefer to be married by a minister than a jus tice of the peace. nf
 They were almost unanimous in their opinion that depression had had no effect on their religious at- titudes.
 The questionnaire, directed by Marshall Stalley, candidate for a masters degree in Sociology, dis closed that majority of students attend church on an average of once in fortnight.
 Most of them gave as their chief reason for attending services en- joyment of the sermon, while others admitted frankly they went cause they liked the music and rituals. v. t.

across the cage on its chunky, legs, in search of warmth. It ram bled along beside the wooden par tition to the front of the cage. Then the whole thing happened in one swiftly moving chain. Mom- mics keen eyes caught the glint oi long, curved claws through the bars. She sprang at the striped paw hooked through the bars. But she was too late. In one dartine motion Sally had reached around through the bars-and crushed the cub. There was only little lump ot lifeless fur slumped on the floor of the cage.
 For moment Mommie dipped her huge paw and snfffed at the dead cub. A soft whining sound came from her quivering lips. She muzzled it, as she had often done when 1t was asleep, trying to wake 1t. Then realization came to her. A DEADLY HATRED & FEARED IN HER BRAIN
 A deadly hatred flared up in her brain. Her eyes rose to the par tition. On the other side of that was the tigress-the killer of her cub. Mommie believed in blind rage and flung herself at the blanks.
 No longer was Mommie the 'tol- erant, good-natured cat that Jim Haley could play with. She had turned into a maddened, beast with but one thought in her savage brain: to kill the tigress that had murdered her helpless cub.
 And as the circus train sped
