nicianS were amazed to find weird pictures-stars and blobs and sprays of white, obliterating the faces of filmdom's sirens.
 Thereafter conditions became worse. Shipment after shipment of film by air mail, special deliv- cry, was ruined. Complaints be gan to flood the post office de- partment.
 It turned the problem over to Deputy Second Assistant Post master General J. w. Cole, who called in his poison expert Al Skinner.
 Skinner pooh-hoeed the spirit world theory. Then he proved to his own satisfaction that nobody was tampering with the light proof wrappings of the film ship ments. Still the damage contin- ued.
 Skinner had an inspiration.
 Aha! Villain Rolled!
 IRIDIUM!
 And that's what it was too," he reported. Laboratories were shipping radium to physicians by air mail, special delivery, and it had been logging the films. One package of radium left in the post office overnight would ruin photographic plate in another mail sack across the room"
 He took his problem to the pub lie health service and then things became embarrassing.

FAIRBANKS, Oct. "A, - The Fairbanks News Miner said yes terday that R. M. Hunt, represen tative at Fairbanks of the Fed eral Land Dept, had receiv- ed instructions to set aside four square miles, on the banks of the Cinema River, four miles west of town, for possible use by the U.

 The Army Board visited the site this past August. The news paper said, that while bill had been passed by congress providing for the selection of a site, it still had to provide funds for the con- struction of the base. Smaller bases may be establish ed in other parts of Alaska, it was indicated. The Board con- sisted of Lieut.. Colonel Wilmot A. Danielson, Major Otto G. Trunk and Major Albro L. Par sons.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A, - Pacific Coast longshoremen re- fused to break their united front .,-itl> aeagoing unions, despite peace offer to dock workers from twenty-seven eastern and foreign steamship companies.

 Admiral Hamlet, of the U. s. Maritime Commission still con- tinued his efforts to bring about a settlement. Unions today con- tinued taking strike votes.
 The companies made the long, shoremen an offer, including an increase in pay, independently of the coast committee for the Pac- fife shipoWners.
 Plant said that the position of his group "has not been altered by the offer of New York and foreign lines". He interpreted their offer as move on the part of eastern companies to create a "sitIation where .hare can be no lonssaoremen's strike in New York. regardless of what happens on tie Pacific coast"

p y e. SEA SK ETR VIII


| Raleigh, Nov. 25-The fact that the
ReSettlement Administration is going
ahead with its development of Soup
| pernong Farms" a 10000 acre farm
stead development project in Wash
ington and Tyrrell counties, centering
around Lake Phelps, is arousing much
interest in State circles here, since
Lake Phelps is Stateowned lake and
under the administration Of the State
Department of Conservation and De-
velopment The Resettlement Admin
istration announced yesterday that it
had exercised its option on three more
tracts of land in this area amounting
tc 5000 acres and ringing the total
amount of land already approved for
purchase to $4,000 acres, as 10000
acres had already been approved. The
remaining 1000 acres needed are al
ready under option.
1t is proposed to divide this land up
into $50 separate farms for as many
farm families. The land in this area
is very fertile and admirably suited
for the new use now being planned
for it, provided proper drainage can
be provided. The Federal government
Is planning to provide this drainage,
it is understood.
According to present plans, the Re-
settlement Administration will coop
crate with the Conservation Depart
ment in making area Immediately
surrounding Lake Phelps into an out
standing recreational area both for
those who will be placed on the $50
farms, but for the people of the State
as a whole. It is understood that the
State may be given title to all the
land surrounding the lake for dis
lance of 100 feet or more from the
shore line, so that it can regulate the
use made of the land around the
lake.
Lake Phelps is one of the most uni
que lakes in the State, in that it is
III feet above sea level and 10 feet
above the level of the Scuppernong
river, into which the lake empties by
means of canals and locks. It is point
ed out that if it ever becomes neces-
sary, the farm land around the lake
could be irrigated by gravity from the
lake. 1t is also ;celieved that limited
amount of electric power could also
be generated by the flow of water
from the lake.
