 SEARCH ON

A search for three Douglas men reported missing the past week in an 18-foot motor boat was ordered last night by the U. s. Commis- sioner's office, after Rose Davis, teacher of the Government School at Douglas communicated the in- formation concerning the missing men to the local Customs office.
 The boat is owned by Hugh Wat son and with him are Jim Hamilton and third man. They were due to return to Douglas from Shelter Island Monday, and no word had been reported since they were seen at Shelter Island on that day.
 Joe Hill left last night in the gas boat Nugget to try and trace the missing craft.
 James Martin, a fish buyer, is the last man known to have seen Wat son and his boat. Martin was at Shelter Island Monday in his boat Thlinget, and as he was leaving for Douglas, Watson was also prepar- ing to leave, and told Martin that he would go to Douglas the same day.

BIRD SHOOT IS
 SET FOR SUNDAY

The final round of the 100- bird shooting event will be held by the Juneau Shotgun Club on the field near the Juneau Dairy tomorrow
 Three shoots have already been held, 25 birds each time, and L. F. Morris is leading with 73 out of 75 birds to his credit. Roy Hoffman and Lou Hudson have been doing pretty we'll but will not have much chance unless Morris loses the form he has exhibited in the past, it is said.
 Jack Laurie, who only made one of the preliminary shoots, will pro- bably shoot off his remaining 75 birds, but he will have to set quite a record on them to keep pace with Morris.
 The event tomorrow like all shoots of the local club is open to the pub lie, and an invitation is particular ly extended to visiting Legionnaires. The field is accessible by all taxis at local fares.
 Milton Daniel of the Forestry Of- flee is Secretary of the Club.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-09-05

more are expected to be taken ir the next few days.
 It is estimated that approximate ly twenty moose are killed in this section each year by local hunt ers-probably 75 to 100 hunters try ing their luck there.
 Most of the trophies taken there are moose overflowing from the Canadian Rockies each season, as the Game Commission reports indi- cate that the only permanent moose population of this region is small herd of COWS.
 These moose COWS are an extreme ly valuable game asset to the Ter ritory, however, as they consti- tute an irresistible lure to roaming bull moose that go counting each year, and there are always quite a number of them to be found dur ing the hunting season.
 Only the bulls range down to tfc Taku from the Interior, as the Canadian COWS like the Taku herd, stay at home.

PLASTIC GLASS
NEW PRODUCT
E.
Is Water Clear, and Will
Resist Pressure Of 5 Tons
to Square Inch "

PITTSBURGH, Sept. ~. (UP).
4 new flexible, watcr-clear plastic
called "Pontalite" that is as
strong as glass and can resist ten
sion of four to five and a half
tons a SQUARE inch was described
today by H. r. Dittmar of the du
Point company before the Ameri-
can Chemical society.

known TO chemists as methyl
methacrylate polymer. 1t is only
half as heavy as ordinary glass, as
clear as optical glass and can be
sawed, cut, drilled, polished or
nodded into any desired form.
Dittmar said a factory for
''pontalitc" manufacture is undHT
construction and production is
scheduled TO begin early in 1887.
Because the plastic transmits a
large proportion of ultraviolet
rays from the sun, it may be used
where such a characteristic is dc
sired.

elastic and the liquid intermediate
form have been used successfully
rs improvements for wood. cloth,
paper, stone and electrical app@-
ratus. Materials treated in this
way were made more resistant 20
water, oils and chemicals.
"Pontalite" can be burned, h"
said, but is not flammable in the
ordinary sense. Many chemical
variations can be produced, vary
ing from hard. heat-resistant SOL
ids to heavy viscous liquids.
"The Transparency, brilliancc,
strength and pCrmancncc OF
'Pontalite' are unusual" Dittmar
said. "And the absence Of color
permits fabrication into delicate
tinted shades. BY combining dyes
