 SWIM EVENTS
Men and Mermaids. Head for Olympics, By Way
 of Chicago

CHICAGO, March 30.- One Of the final tests of Americas great est men and women swimmers be- fore the selection of the United States Olympic team is on the program for April IA in Chicago.
 It's a "co-ed' water carnival for the first time in A. A. U. history. Hitherto, the men and women com peted separately.
 The event will be staged in the spacious tank of the Lake Shore Athletic Club and the Olympic overlords will be on hand for preview of the talent that will seek to win back international swim ming supremacy from the Japan csc next summer.
 Sponsors say 21 championships will be wide open to attack in the 4-day period. Along with all the big names of the American tanks on hand, the management expects the added incentive of Olympic year and a possible boat ride to Berlin to act as lure for newcomers.
 The well-knowns among the men include Jack Medica, fastest free styler in America; IT, year old Adolph Kiefer, whose back stroke has made him the most talked of natator of the day; Peter Flick, New York; the Spence brothers; Ebert Root and Dick Degner, both from Detroit and both diving champions; Ralph Flanagan of Miami; Jim Gilhula of Los Angeles, and Dan zehr, Northwestern University.
 The Lake Shore Club has a big delegation ready for the try at the titles in the home pool-and Olym- pic glory later.
 The feminine contingent is head ed by Katherine Rawls, who will try to dominate the womens events as she did last year in winning three championships. Others include the comedy Eleanor Home Jarrett the Kiefer of the girl back-strokt artists; Lenore Knight Wingard holder of the women's 220- ant 500-yard free-style titles; Erna ant Elizabeth Kompa of New York Dorothy Poynton Hill, Claudia Eek. ert and Marian Mansfield of Chi. cago, and Helena Tomski of De. troit, the real dark horse" threat

Several prominent Alaskans were mentioned in the Down The Hatch column, by Captain Barnacle. in last Mondays Seattle Post-Intell- gencer. There is a two column pie ture of Ben L. Grimes. Jr., wife ana baby son and a single column pie ture of J. L. Galen. 4~s
 The article is as follows:
 There's a country up north Of here-starts in few hundred miles away and runs north and westrwith corner near the pole (that far section is sort of in cold storage under ice, but those people up there will dig it out when they need it) and they call it Alaska.
 It must be a mighty fine place, too, judging by the class of people who go there on these regular lin- CTS, and I reckon I ought to make a trip myself.

 When Ben L. II introduced me to Ben L. III I thought he sad "been ill" and just couldn't figure it out for I never saw healthier young ster. Bet he was never sick a day in his life.

 People like s. N. Goodwick helped a lot to develop the country. He must have been called the boy sourdough" for while he has been North for mor than thirty years and is an old-t timer around Kobuk, he looks like bond salesman just graduated from the football team
 He is going back to Kobuk after wintering outside Go to Seward then Fairbanks and fly across.
 Here's J. L. Galen, president of the Mount Mckinley. Tourist and Transportation Company. heading back to the second largest national park on the continent and the far thest north for all countries, includ- ing the Scandinavian. Put in a couple of months down South this Inter and they all want to know about Alaska. He told 'em, too, you bet.

 And another is puttinS Alaska travellers on rubber, and not boots or shoepacks either. He's c, w. Edgecumb, manager of the Alaska Motor Stages, and he came down to buy about the slickest article of highclass bus that ever took ship to Alaska. It looked so shiny and new and comfortable on the fore deck that they had to put sign on it. Keep Out" or some of the steer age passengers would just take over the de luxe job for the voyage.
 Edgecumb is proud of it and I'll bet he sits up nights to see that mo- body strikes any matches on the finish. He will drive her off at Valdez and she'll operate as far as Fairbanks.

RAINS GREAT HELP
TO TOBACCO CROP
Other Crops Also Benefit
From Generous Down
pour Last of Week

Generous rains within the past few
days brought a definite end to the
drought that had persisted here for
exactly two months, and furnished
the moisture crops mad needed to get
away to a start. But there are many
who fear the season is now so late
that it will be impossible to obtain
the yields that otherwise would have
been possible.
Most Of the tobacco crop had been
set, but some of it was in bad con-
dition because of the long drought,
dating back to Easter Sunday, April
II. Many plants died and many others
had wilted and very few had grown
to speak of, for want of moisture.
There is apparently plenty of mois-
ture deep under the surface of the
soil, but young plants had scarcely
taken root moro than to keep alive
could not reach deep enough to get
the benefits of that and those that
have survived did so without the
growth that would normally have re-
suited in ordinary seasons.
Early in the week generous showers
fell on some portions of the county,
but were not general. On Friday the
rain was general and generous, and
afforded full opportunity to complete
the setting of that portion of the to-
tacco crop that had not been set and
to give new life to that already in
the fields.
Opinion is that there will be nothing
like the yield that would have been
realized under normal weather con-
ditions, for either tobacco or cotton,
or for corn and small grain. Growers
are hoping the season will produce
tobacco crop of fairly good quality,
so that the reduction in quantity of
production will bring good prices at
least as good as last year.
Reports from eastern Carolina and
from the southern belts are that the
crops there have suffered from the
drought and will be short in yield.
Nature may have brought about the
curtailment that was lacking IN the
absence of crop control.
