Lacking bases, American ships

means larger units.

The stratoSphere balloon

push outward the frontiers OF

At that altitude, the slightest

ported height of 72,200 feet, but
persisted in the descent.

 TOWN SPIRIT
ETTIRE COMMUNITY UNITES TO DRIVE OUT MACHINE GUN
 GANGSTERS

Where do you find the true Amer ican spirit-a true love of law and order and peace and freedom-in the big cities among teeming thous- ands, or in the small towns where every citizen is a neighbor and friend?
 Men of America RKO-Radio Picture showing Friday at the Dream Theatre, is story of small American town where, though some friends may now and then be quar- relsome and enemies are friendly, and where most of the people are foreign born but boast of their Am erican citizenship, they all unite in common cause to rOut, without any delay or palaver, a gang of rack eteers on whose head is a price Wanted in too many cities for too many desperate crimes, the Cicero gang of robbers and killers, with machine guns and SiX-Shooters, hide l in rock-Walled canyon in Paradise Valley, but they are forced to rob off the natives because they dare not use any of the money taken from their last robbery because it is in thousand dollar bills.
 They make the mistake, however, of thinking the natives are hicks and saps-that they can put any thing over on them, What they had been getting away with among big city police was another story for the Cicero gang when they tried it on a community that didn't need a sher- if to help them keep law and order.

 rule, Attu was a very important trading center It was the central depot of the western district, the Jurisdiction of which extended as far east as Unimak Pass. The AleutS were taken to the Commodore and other islands to work for their mast CTS. and many of the people of kam- chatka are descendants of the nativ es of Attu.
 The Russians, while hard task masters, were provident and always thoughtful of the natives, and help ed them in many ways. They intro duced goats and cattle on the is lands, as an experiment for a source of meat supply. The goats were very unpopular with the Aleuts on account of their pugnaciouS nature and a morbid propensity for feeding on the grasses and flowers which grew in profusion on the roofs of the barabaras, frequently caving them in and causing leaks. Though there was an abundance of grass all over the island, the stock raising experiment was allowed to lag and finally, a short time after the trans fer of the country to the United States, the bovine race found its way in to the mulligans and stew pots of the traders.
 The women of Attu were quite expert in the manufacture of fine grass cloth and grassware, and for this purpose they gathered the grasses, and prepared them with the greatest care and spared no amount of labor and unlimited pa- tience in the execution of their work which took the form of eX- quisite cigar cases, baskets, mats, and the like. There is something tasteful in the blending of colors and patterns which the grasswork- CTS of Attu employ in the produc- ton of their wares. For instance, workbasket made by an old native woman took her six years to con- plete and 1t is unnecessary to add that the work was a remarkable ex- position of native skill and ingenu- lty, its intrinsic value running up into the hundreds of dollars.
 Each family generally inhabits its own hut or barabaras They have long since ceased to dress in skins or their primitive garments made from the intestines of marine man. als save for most severe Weath- CT, these garments being found bet ter than the finest rubber coats for wet and dampness, but in the majority of cases they wear the castoff garments of the whites, sent them from the missions in the states and along the coast
 Although on hunting and about the villages the natives still wear the kamelinka or waterproof shirt made of the inner stomach and in- testines of the Walrus, and also the moccasin or mukluk made from the throatS of seals, and soled with tough hippers of the sea lion, most all dress up on Sundays. Broad crowned hats with a red band are still in vogue, evidently a legacy of the Russian regime.
