dred rubles if she could get her a kind hearted man with domestic tastes"
 The wife needed hundred rubles and her friend had never met her husband; so quite ingenuOusly she conceived the idea, not of selling him. but of renting him temporarily, so to speak. She arranged sati4 factory meeting between the two, and divorced her husband to enable him to marry the other woman. Those are mere details in Russia today, and the plan was to have him return in a few weeks and re- marry her. This is authentic, mind you, the subject of a news dispatch from Moscow not fairy tale.
 The marriage went off smoothly and the money was paid. The only hitch in the plan came few weeks later when the wife prepared to re- marry her husband-and he would not go home! And the courts upheld him.
 The notwithstanding cheaters? oh, no. The story is too luscious with other implications for one to be too serious about 1t. It turns my thoughts to past days when hus. bands could sell or give their wives If they wanted them back they had only to settle that with the buyer the wife was never consulted. Now comes day when a wife sells or rents her husband And yet 1t seems not so easy. When she wants him she can't get him back. And what defeats her utterly Is that the courts support his claims of the right to stay with his current spouse.

Italian City Designed
 for Aviation Center"

Italy is building a new city-Gui- dOnia. Recently, LittOria, Sabaudi. POntinia and MussOlinia, new towns which were built as rural centers, appeared in the news headlines Now GuidOnia, named in honor of Alessandro Guidoni, one of Italy's most famous pilots, who was killed in an airplane disaster in 1928, basks in the spotlight of Italy's city-building program.
 Guidonia is only 16 miles from Rome, says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. Avi- atiOn caused it's construction, and according to plan, aviation will dominate it's industries. It will, In fact, be a giant aviation laboratory manned by scientists and laymen whose first interest is research and experimentation in aviation
 No airplanes or airpane motors will be built there, but in it's laboratories will he found the mos modern equipment for making all sorts of experiments on model air planes One part of the 'labora = tory" will be devoted entirely to research on flying in the strato- sphere.
 When the city is completed, ofIi- clals and employees will live in comfortable homes and work in n carefully planned building. There will be churches, city hall. schools, and construction and other shops. Most interesting, perhaps. of the completed buildings are the mysterious looking towers in which model airplanes already are being tested.
 Tn the Radio pavilion, scientists now experiment with the use Of radio In aviation. In the three story building of the Superior Board Studies and Experiments, intensive study Is being made of air photog- raphy and of the many instrumen 8 used In alrplanes. In other build ing tests are made on motors and the speed of hydroplanes. The Aerodynamical galleries are equipped with ventilators worked by 450 horsepower motors that cause winds of strong velocity to test the strength of model air nlaneS.

PICNIC MEALS

0PEN-AIR meals are in order V now until the snow flies. These picnic meals may be of the simplest but be sure that there is plenty of whatever 1t Is, for there Is nothing that encourages appetite like a good long walk and ride in the fresh air.
 The perfect picnic always sup poses a fire, where things can be heated or cooked, and there are few Scouts or Campfire Girls who can not prepare one in short time. The building of fireplace to roast the potatoes or corn and boil the water for the frankfurters is an ac. complishment that most of the youth of today take as a matter of course.
 If the fire is to be made on the beach, trench is dug to make a fre-box. Then the true sportsman will see that every bit of debris and all embers are burned and buried before leaving the campfire.
 One may cook bacon on sticks, threading the slices on green twigs, or cook steak in camp frying pan or on a piece of sheet iron. A few trips will give one good idea of the things needed and the collection will last for a long time with care.
 One may eat and digest very hearty foods when out of doors. fried potatoes, boiled weinerwurst or frankfurters cooked in boiling wa. ter are so good in bread and but. ter sandwiches with a slice of mild onion. Eggs scrambled make a nice dish. To roast sweet potatoes one must use the following direc. tions carefully: Wash the potatoes carefully and wrap them In green leaves or wet brown paper, then bury them in hot ashes and cover with coals and burning wood.

 No Money Used There.
 One Of the remarkable customs that is being preserved by the tribe in the Ilaiawa valley is to live without money, There was no cur rency among the native Hawalians before they were discovered. The cynic If not the economist may gee in this fact alone a sufficient req son for preserving even a small part of the strange domain in It's original state.
 Peace, plenty and contentment are the unique characteristics of Halawa, almost mythical In It's con- trast to even the remotest parts of the known world. There are no pie nic grounds in these Elyslan fields. It is a place to be spoken of with awe and wonder, not to be visited.
 The title may change hands but possession has so far remained with the little hand of aborigines who still vaguely believe that the heavens and the waters and the earth were created for the sus- tenance of mankind, without bene- fit of deed or abstract of title.

.TRAYELER, novelist, natural
 ist, poet and philosopher have dreamed consistently of a Host land.'
 They haven't wanted to find 1t because it would then no longer be lost" They merely wanted proof of it's existence. There would be the setting for flights of fiction and fancy. There would be the locale of romance supreme and undlluted by fact. It would be peopled by the fabled Host tribe.'
 It may be the valley of Halawa, on the island of Molokai, right within the boundaries of tAe United States.
 Few have ever seen it but 1t Is known to be there, a walled Par adise, almost as virgin in primi- tive peace and plenty as If 1t were the Garden of Eden rediscovered.
 What Is knOwn'as civilization has not yet dawned there. Steps have been taken to prevent it from dawning.
 Even the birds have not learned the almost universal lesson of ani- mate life-that the struggle for ex- istences leads to natural enmity, pit ting one species and one tribe in conflict against another.
 An Isolated Eden.
 The people are in the same bliss tul state of isolation. They want nothing from outside and no one yet has shown a desire to get what they have Impossible walls of rock shut them out from the land. A rift gives them an outlook upon the calm Pacific. Ships pass but do not stop. Occasionally an airplane blots the blue sky but never lands. Buffalo and deer are the only strangers that have ever invaded this quiet valley since its known history first began. The people, so far as they can tell, came with Nuu, the Hawaiian Noah. Nuu brought very few animals except song birds. The buffalo and deer have been introduced since Cap tain Cook discovered the islands.

Sheer walls, rich in varied tones, that extend from blue to orange, rise abruptly from the floor, festOoned richly with loops of swinging vine and plumed with arboreal yirdure.

 Civilization, however, like nature, abhors vacuum and even a lost land had to have protection from being found. Some weak spot in the Halawa walls might have de- veloped but for their recent rein forcement.
 Mir. and Mrs. Paul l. Pagan, of California and Hawaii, decided that the valley of Halawa must be left, If possible, as a legacy to the fu- ture. They have purchased the 5000 acres for the purpose of maintain ing 1t in Its primitive state with

 Buster Bear Is a very clever fel- low. There are few who use their wits as Buster uses his. It didn't take him long to realize that never in the world would he be able to catch Danny Meadow Mouse by simply chasing him round and round the trunk of that tree. As soon as he realized 1t he stopped to think. Now, while that tree was big, 1t wasn't so big that Buster couldn't reach quite half way round 1t, for Buuster has long reach. An Idea came to him and his little eyes snapped and he grinned wickedly. "I'll give that Mouse a surprise" thought he.
 So Buster stole softly close up to the tree on the other side of which poor little Danny Meadow Mouse crouched wondering what would happen next. Very softly and carefully Buster reached around the tree with one big paw and brought 1t down swiftly. And 1t came down right on the very

STRONGER NAVY
Advocates Building Up to

Emphasizing the uncertainty of the
outcome Of the London Naval Con-
ference. Secretary Swanson in his an
nual report yesterday reiterated a
strong recommendation that the
American Navy be built up to the full
strength authorized in the Washing
ton and London pacts.
THE situation in regard to treaties
for limitation of naval ornaments still
remains uncertain and it is imposs-
sible to predict the nature of future
treaties, if any," he said in his annual
report.
For the present" he said, "Ameri-
can naval policy was unchanged and
he recommended that plans for build
ing new warships to the total 1.125 500
tonnage permitted under the treaties
be continued without change"
President Roosevelt has already in
dorsed that viewpoint by reaffrming
the intention of the United States to
oppose any bigger navies at the Lon
don parley, and to continue this Ma
tion's naval construction program.

Other aspects Of the Navy's opera

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Fifty men started work at Ket- chikan last week on an EZRA pay roll. A total of 380 men have been signed up for relief work for the winter in preparation for WPA program which is to be started to engage all employables in gainful occupation during the winter.
 The EZRA program is a tempor- ary arrangement to take care of needy cases until the larger pro gram has been started The men will be given a 3O-hour week at 60 cents an hour and will work a week at a time. A similar program was started in Juneau last week.
 Aside from the CCC camp of the Forest Service, no relief work is under way at Wrangell, although it is badly needed, particularly by the Natives. Dr. R. N. Scruby, as chairman of the Wrangell Cham Der of Commerce, and F. G. Han ford, acting for the organization, this week sent a wire to Governor John w. Troy stating that the ne- cessity of Native relief at Wran- gell was urgent and asking that at tention be given to Wrangell needs at once.
 If a relief program is put into ef- feet here within the near future in- stead of sometime in the remote future, full credit should be given to the untiring efforts of these two men, who may weary in we'll de- ing oftentimes, but who never cease attempting to better condi- tions for the needy of this com munity.
