TAR up in the snow-capped
 ranges of the Andes mountains, on the Bolivia.Peru boundary, engineers today seek to tap Lake Titicaca, the highest large sheet of water in the world. By tun- neling into the lake, 12,000 feet above sea level, engineers con- template a gigantic power scheme, for tin smelting, electrifying rail- roads and supplying not only Bolivia but neighboring countries. Surplus waters would be used for irrigation. G
 ... An international waterway owned jointly by Bolivia and Peru, Lake Titicaca covers an area of 3200 square miles. Actually, 1t is a great depression in the Andes range, supplied by the rains and. melting snows from surrounding Reaks and highlands. It overs flows its southern rim into ans other depression. It is too cold for swimming.
 With an initial investment of 425, ,000, ,0o0, the Bolivian govern. mept has let a contract to begin the vast project. Engineers plan to drain Lake Titicaca' toward Sorata, '640o feet above sea level, where a gigantic hydro-electric' plant would be erected. The project is one of several on eolivia's postwar 'reconstruction program. The lake is pictured on . recent Peruvian air mail.

LZLEy: mans Isl l:ssy:

There she began searching for sight of the damaged dinghy, hop ing Melita and Priscilla would be somewhere near it. She could not be sure in which direction 1t lay, and she knew she must find it be- fore she was recaptured. A mile- long weary trek in one direction proved fruitless, and Kay decided that the dinghy and the Hateful cabin must be behind her. Wearily redoubling on her trail, she kept up her search.
 But night was fast descending now, and Kay faced the double hor- TOT of a strange darkness and the reappearance of the islands men, acing inhabitant.
 (TO Be COntinued)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-04

she knew that any moment he might decide to be rid of her. But this was less frightening than the thought of the nameless dreads he could be planning for the future, and which might well include Pris- cilla and Melita as well.
 At last the cruiser reached the far side of the island. The man kept casting curious glances to the shore, but he was always careful to return his gaze quickly to the girl. He crowded back against the pilot house windows, so that the revolver would be well beyond her reach.
 Here we are," he said. Stop the boat. I'll put down the anchor" With surprising agility he went for- ward to secure the Chinook" while Kay followed his order. Now" he said, we'll go ashore, if you don't mind"
 Perhaps you've forgotten that the boat doesn't carry dinghy now"
 "No remember quite well. I'm sure you won't mind getting wet again. You swim so beautifully" He made an outward gesture with the revolver. You go first, I'll be following"
 There was nothing else to do. Kay poised at the rail- cut the water in a deep dive. AS she reached the surface she fully expected the swift pain of bullet. But the man was letting himself into the water feet first, holding the revolver carefully above his head.
 Kay struck out easily, her heart pounding much faster than her arms and legs. She knew that she could far outdistance her enemy. Over her should she saw he was surprisingly powerful in the water, hampered though he was by clothes and his regard for the weapon. Gradually, with the craftiness of desperation, she began to increase her speed. Soon she was far ahead, knew that in @ moment she would be able to touch bottom with her sneakers. .--..
 Even when she reached the shelf of shore she kept low in the water. l she upraised swiftly and splashed up the beach as fast as her legs would carry her. Tn her anxiety to reach the wood she scarcely heard his angry yell. .-..
 Just as Kay reached the cover of trees and brush she heard a shot. Then another. The second brought a sickening whine quite close-but she was not hit. Madly she ran, needless of the briars, unmindful of the sharp boughs which cut into her arms and clutched at her face. Not until she was forced to slow down from sheer exhaustion did she look around.
 There was no sound and no mo- ton from the stretch of wood be- hind her. Heartened, Kay ran on, anxious to put as much distance as humanly possible between herself and her curious enemy. When she was certain she had momentarily eluded him, she slowed to steady walk. It was only then that she rea- lized how blindly she'd fought through the thick tangle. A cheek was bleeding; her arms and hands were a pattern of deep cuts and bruises. Her denim slack had pro- tected her legs somewhat, but her light sneakers were shredS of cloth and rubber.
 She encountered the other shore- line, almost completely exhausted.

Time marches on, time and the tide wait for no. man, my time is your time, time out, time in, good time, fast time, record breaking time, Swingtime and even time on my hands. Evidently time Is referred to innumerable times a day. Well, anyway, speaking of time on myhands reminds the ol' Professor of his wristwatch. He found that 1t didn't keep accurate time so he checked it with an authoritative time piece and discovered that 1t held hands (we gotta get a little romance in here somewhere) or the hands came to- gether (if you prefer to be techni- cab. every sixty-five minutes.
 At first this seemed to be a baffl- ing little mystery and 1t is a ques- ton not only of whether the watch gained or lost time but how much the variation was per hour. How about 1t?

BASEBALL SPOTLIGHT PUBLICITY
By "Nosey"

Upsets and the thrills of a bat tie we'll won, attended the games last night between the Hammon & Huskies and the Alaskans & Commercials, before a crowd of baseball fans. which not quite filled the huge gymnasium.
 "Nosey's" prediction of little "cockiness" on the Husky team appeared to come true. The Illus ky pitcher showed the well known imitation and was ham, mered hard by Hammon batters before a substitute pitcher was put in the box during the last inning or two. Guess the Ham, mon bunch got their revenge for that practice game some time ago
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-07

At least ninety percent of the crowd didn't understand a deci- sion of Umpire Lewis in sending two scoring runners back to third and second and another runner on third back to first, in the Ham mon-Husky game. The play was made at first and the batter Ger ry Harney was called out. How ever, Lewis stopped the play, called Harney out at bat on an illegal hit, because he hit the ball while his feet were outside the batting box, and then sent the runners back to their original positions on the bases. Looked funny, but there she is, and that's the way it should have been.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-07

Did you notice some of the "old bucks" of previous games fann- ing away at the ball but con- meeting only with a lot of solid ozone? Seems to me they batter get in some hard batting practice or peel off little extra weight and fi,miness from their eyes. Saw some of this on nearly every team. The cheechacco members

An inquiring reporter who restlessly prows the streets in quest of news checks in with the pleasing port that the schooma am of today is great deal pre tier and snapper than she in the days when dad went to school
 What set the reporter off on this observation was the fact that he had just returned from state teachers convention. There he had mingled with crowd of stylish and attractive young women who looked like moving picture extras than schooma ans, and the fact went at once to his head.
 The contrast is probably unfair Yesterdays school maam lives in the memory of the restless lads who sat at her feet generation ago. and it always article of faith with them that the schoomaam could not be anything but battleax
 They conceived of an eternal antagonsm between teacher and pupil and to have admitted that teacher was charming young woman would have been to lose half the battle right at the start.
 So the memory of todays grown men probably does yesterday schoolma am less than justice. But what ever they think of her appearance most in looking back will undoubtedly admit that the lady had pretty tough and thankless job and handled it remarkably well, all things considered.
 Any schoolma am starts her job with two strikes on her. She has roomful of restless youngsters who would rather be anywhere earth than in school room.
 She has to keep their attention arouse their inter- est make them behave quel that red Indian spirit that periodically takes possession of healthy youth-and, those things done, give them education prepare them for citizenship and instruct them in manners and hygiene
 It's job big enough to make strong quail But the slip of girl who hires schoolma am tac kles it without turning hair-at disgracefully low wages, often enough-and gets away with it.
 Looking back, who can't remember a host of things he owes to the overWorked misses of his grammar school and high school days?
 This one by some chance phrase or other, snapped him out of tendency toward self-pity.
 That one took few extra pains and showed him that the mysteries of mathematics not necessarily
 Another revealed to him the beauties of English insolube, after all poetry
 A fourth somehow showed him that there can be deep satisfaction in taking difficult job and doing 1t we'll

 We may actually have the crust to feel little bit sorry for ourselves for having grown up in the of unattractive schoolma ans
 And today's youngsters will probably feel exactly the same 30 years from now

hot plays characterized the game.

Judging the most powerful teams at this time would be a hundred to one guess as to who would win the series, but to all appearances, the hammon team look to be the most powerful ag- gregation on the floor, with toss up between the Alaskans who have developed marvelously, and the Huskies, who appeared to slip last night, and the Commer- cials tagging along at the rear. However, you can't tell how they will show up in their second en- counters next Wednesday night at the gym. It looks like the Commercials better concentrate on developing a strong pitcher, as well as the Huskies, which was surprise last night because in the benefit game their pitcher performed extraordinar,y well.

Saw a little spice with umpire Lewis last night that was good for a minute. Runner came in from third on a force-out play and the catcher didn't bother to touch him, but touched home plate. The runner was called out and bellered Che didn't even touch me-, in a wild voice. Ump. Lewis. with disgust in his voice came right back, "he didn't have to-, and the runner meekly sub- sided.

of all the teams put in excellent performances with the stick dur ing the entire evening.

We'll, haven't go much more to say at this time. Will probably dig up a little "dirt" between now and the next game. and we'll see if we can't have some fun. The winning teams look pretty good today, but one of them has to lose next week. Which will it be ?
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-07

Noticed the Hammons have a pitcher Chuck O'Leary, who baff1ed the Huskie squad and had them guessing plenty. We'll see him next week pitted against the Alaskan sluggers, and that should be a real game as both teams were winners last night.

The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-07

The second game between Alas kans and Commercials certainly showed balloon-like tactics on both sides. The game was fairly close up to the sixth inning when the Alaskans got to the Commer- cial pitcher, knocked him out of the box, then knocked a substi- tute pitcher out and were finally retired when a third hurler was showed to the slaughter, after they had brought in II runs. The inning before the Commercials had staged rally of six runs. In the first of the seventh the Alas kans didn't get any and in their last chance at bats the Commer- cials didn't start another rally until two men were out, and then knocked in five runs before being retired, just four runs short of tieing the winning Alaskans.

D. c. SCIENTIST RESCUED

John Stennis, scientist of the
Biological Survey here, was
found yesterday on the barren
island Of Agattu in the Aleutian
chain off the Southwestern tip Of
Alaska, it was learned last night.
Officials of the Biological Sur
vey here said they had word by
radio from the Coast Guard cut
ter Cyane that Stennis had been
located and taken off "alive, but
very hungry" The Cyane, to-
gether with the Biological Sur
Vey boat, Brown Bear, had
been looking for the biologist for
three days. The cutter said she
was taking Stennis to headquar-
tiers at Unalaska.
No details of the happy end.
