0HMER STRAIN MINK TOPS
 WINTER FUR SALES IN U. S

A detailed report of the winter sale of furs in the United States. states the Petersburg Press. reveals that the mink raised by the Yukon fur Farms of Petersburg command cd the highest prices for this type ef fur,
 The Petersburg eompany's pro duct has reached a degree of pres- tige among the buyers that gives it a separate listing as Ohmer Strain. The top quality of this strain brought $40 a pelt. and the sixth quality classification com manded a price of SIPS, which sas even more than the $I1.0O which the best grade Of Minnesota Strain brought
 Tie Yukon strain of ranchel mink brought S25.75 for the best pelts Mr. Ohmer and Mr. Ames leel that the premium which their pclts eoamaEd is the reward for scientific breeding and rauchiD4 methods and substantiates the be- lief that an experimental fur farm southeastern Alaska would go far toward establishing furs in this iart of the Territory on a basis of superiority

STEWART ASKS OPENING OF
 MINING IN GLACIER BAY

Introduction of bill intended to open the Glacier Bay National Monument to prospecting has beer supplemented by an appeal to Pres ident Roosevelt to amend the de cree establishing the monument, it has been announced by B. D. Stewart, Territorial Commissioner of Mines.
 Stewart, W h o originally started the move last year to allow pros pectors to mine for gold, silver and other minerals in the area, stated that he has the backing of the U. S. Geological Survey in the effort to open up the region.
 "Since Mt. Mckinley National Park is available for prospecting, there is no valid reason why this Glacier Bay region should be lock- ed up tight" Stewart declared.
 The commissioner revealed that he spent a week Investigating the closed area, and similar studies were conducted by the Geological Survey, and it is obvious that con- mefclally YaIuaDle deposits or Solu and silver, antimony, lead, copper and molybdenite are present.
 To Preserve Conditions
 The monument was established by the late President Coolidge in 1925, to preserve natural condi- tions' for study, the receding of the glaciers over an area of 30 or 40 miles having provided scientists with an opportunity to watch the process of revegetation, observe sue sessions of tree growths and other phenomena.
 The original area extended from Cape Spencer to Lynn Canal, but was subsequently, reduced. Activi- ties of miners in the region would scarcely affect the naturalists' ex- periments, Stewart said.

MY DAY"

Eleanor Roosevelt has reversed her deep sympathy with the Alaska fishermen in their agitation for elimination of traps, which she had previously expressed in her syhdl- cated press column, My Day, alt CT having had tea at the White House with Tom Hanbury and Jacob Zeldenrust of ketchikan.
 In her column on February b, the First Lady of the Land wrote.
 It is amusing how well-meaning people can ditter on what, to the uninitiated, seem to be matters of Iact.
 A short time ago 1 told Of a conversation with two fishermen who came to see me, and since that time 1 have had d flood Of letters, was not trying to set myself up as an authority on fishing. 1 have listened 10 too many fishermen ar gue on the coast of New England not to know that agreement IS as difficult in this occupation as it is in many others.
 Apparently both the methods oi fish-trapping and seining should be allowed. and a balance should be kept between the two. There seems to be some official opinion to back up the idea that ill this way the greatest amount of employment will be made possible for the people in VoIyed.
 T glean this from letters, but I'm not sure that the seine fisher men will agree. In addition, l am told, we should all know that pink salmon have as much food value as red salmon, but on the whole the letters agree that red salmon are rarer."

BENDS CURED
W|THHEL|UM

The "bends" -dread nemesis OF
those who work under ground and
under the sea-have been con-
uuered, it is believed, by the re-
search of two naval physicians at
tached to the experimental diving
unit at the Navy Yard.
The two doctors, James A. Haw-
kins and Charles w. Shilling, have
conducted experiments over a
period of two years and are now
making an analysis of their
method of treating bends" The
analysis, soon to be published, will
reveal helium gas as the counter
acting medium in the treatment
of the scourge of deep-sea divers.
Bends" are caused, it is ex-
planned, by the absorption of a
great amount Of nitrogen in the
blood of the subject, due to the
high pressure under which he
works underground or under
water. When the subject is brought
to the surface too quickly, this
nitrogen forms bubbles in the
blood stream, often causing death,
and always bringing acute agony.

WORK FUND
NEARLY ALL
SPENT
Must Obtain Money by
Monday If Men
Are Spared

Five hundred men - approx
mately one-half of the entire force
now working on the extension and
improvement of Boiling Field
will lose their jobs Monday morn
ing if an additional 100000 is
not Immediately forthcoming for
completion of the work.
This was learned today when it
became known that the 100000
original appropriation has been
nearly exhausted during the year
in which the project has been un-
der way.
Dangerously Low"
A spokesman at the office Of
the quartermaster of the War De-
partment said the fund has sunk
dangerously low"
The 1000 men employed on the
Boiling Field extension are for the
most part laborers and receive a
security wage of $45 per month.
The QuartermaSter Generals Of
flee admitted that "it is doubt
full" that the 100000 needed will
be on hand Monday morning.
Efforts are being made to get the
money, the office declared, but
from where was not divulged. It
it believed, however, that efforts
are being made to get the half
million dollars from the regular
War Department appropriation.
May Limit Plans
If the money is not obtained,
plans which would make Boiling
Field one of the major air stations
of the East probably will not ma
terialize. New barracks for en-
listed men, new quarters for COM
miSSioned and non-commiSsioned
officers and new shops and labora-
tories are under construction.
The landing field is being great
ly enlarged and is being raised
to IL feet above flood level in
order to avoid a repetition of the
innundationS of last March.

man to spell armament with q
broad A?
While the old boy still places
some confidence in his diplO-
mats, he also realizes that they
don't do enough damage when
dropped on the enemy from an
airplane.
And you can't blame him!
War is one opportunity that
keeps knocking It'll answered. ).
And right now those European
dictators are carrying enough
chips on their shoulders to start
another world cOnflagratiOn.

REP. JENCKES
PLANS FIGHT
0N0VERT|NE
Would Eliminate Evil
Of No Compensation
For Extra Work

Expressing great satisfaction at
the news that President Roosevelt
had signed the executive orders
that would put the amendments
to the annual and sick leave bills
passed at the last session into &C
tive use, Representative Virginia
E. Jenckes 3D., of Indiana, today
announced her intention of push
ing for an equitable solution of
the overtime situation in Govern.
ment departments.
Mrs. Jenckes IS a member of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee and worked to secure passage
of the new leave provisions all
during last session.
Halted Its Efforts
Senate confereeS on the annual
leave bill forced the House to
abandon it's efforts to provide
some compensation for overtime.
The Senators expressed the opin-
ion that such conditions should
be eliminated by prorating h e
work over long enough periods to
provide for its accomplishment
during regular daily hours.
1t was set out in the bill, how
ever, that a check should be kept
through the summer on all over
time and reported to the Civil
Service Committee which will, in
turn, report on the findings to
Congress in January. In this re-
spect Mrs. Jenckes said by long
distance phone from Atlantic City
today:
MANY women employees Of
the Government put in over
time for which they are not
given credit or compensation.
This condition must be elimi-
mated.
PAY MORE ATTENTION
"The Congress must pay more
attention to the welfare of our
Federal workers in every di-
vision of the Government to
prevent discrimination and the
taking of unfair advantage of
their willingness to serve loyalty
without regard to their health
in positions in the Federal Gov
eminent.
81 intend to use all my
power at the next Congress to
see that a fair and equitable
program is worked out to take
care Of these hard working en-
pIOyeS. Certainly, overtime should
be eliminated but where it is
allowed to exist and is found
necessary due to the pressure
of emergency work, some COM
penSatiOn should be given the
persons who stick by their jobs
and render this service"

CITIZENS PLAN
0NE-MAN CAR
BATTLE
Many Organizations
To Appear at PUG.
Hearing Monday

Determined to stage a laSt-ditch
fight to prevent expansion of the
one-man street car system in the
Capital, representatives from a
majority of local citizens organ
izations will appear at a public
hearing Monday before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The hearing will be based on
three applications of the Capital
Transit Company, which, if ap-
proved, would permit enlargement
of the present 70 one-man car
system to 119.
The company has asked the
commission to approve purchase
of 80 second-handed one-man cars
from a Providence (R. - transit
company to replace 80 now in
use here; to allow it to purchase
20 additional cars from the Provi-
dence company and add them to
the local system; and to permit
the change in a purchase of 20
new cars now pending so that
these cars may be of one-man
operation.
Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts at recent mass meet
ing with representatives of citi-
zen groups marshalled a strong
opposition not only to the com.
pany's proposed one-man car pro-
gram but also to a raise in car
fares, which the company has
requested and which will be the
subject of a public hearing later
in the summer.
